ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.
This management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of
operations contains certain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relating to future events and financial
performance are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, detailed
from time to time in the Company's various Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
No assurance can be given that any such matters will be realized.
Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997.
Gross revenues increased 291% to $321,603 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $82,143 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily because of the
increase in funds available through the Company's initial public offering which enabled the
Company to purchase more Receivables and therefore generate more fee income.
Net income increased by $26,610 to $41,389, or 12.6% of gross revenues, for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $14,779 or 14.8% of gross revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. This increase in dollars and decrease in percentage of gross
revenues was primarily due to the increase in funds available through the Company's initial
public offering which enabled the Company to purchase more Receivables and therefore
generate more fee income.
Operating expenses increased by $3,916, to $4,967, or 1.5% of gross revenues, for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, from $1,051 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. This increase was primarily due to increased legal and accounting expenses related to
the Company's ongoing initial public offering of Notes.
Interest expense increased $198,913 to $283,000 or 88% of gross revenues, for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $84,130, for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the increase in investors notes
outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity have been internally generated funds
and through the public offering of its 12% Notes. It is anticipated that funds from operations
and the receipt of the net proceeds of such offering will provide the Company with sufficient
liquidity to meet its debt service and operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.
The ability of the Company to meet operating forecasts included in its expansion plans
will depend in part upon the successful completion of this offering and its ability to develop
and implement new or additional financial services.
