NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. As such, they should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results that might be expected for the future interim periods or for the
full year ending December 31, 1998.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of personalized videotapes is recognized when the
Company delivers the videotapes to the customer. Non-refundable deposits
from customers received in advance of videotape delivery are recorded as
customer deposits and are included in other current liabilities in the
balance sheet. During the first three quarters of 1997, the Company
recorded non-refundable deposits from customers as revenue. During the
fourth quarter of 1997, the Company changed its method of accounting for
non-refundable deposits from customers and deferred the revenue until the
event occurred. The impact of this change in accounting principle was not
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
PREPAID EXPENSES-ADVANCE ROYALTIES
As discussed in Note 5, the Company is required to pay a royalty payment
of 8% of all net revenues. Guaranteed minimum royalty payments are
recorded as a prepaid expense and are expensed as revenues are earned. The
Company continually evaluates the expected realization of the carrying
value of the prepaid royalty over the next twelve month period and, if
necessary, reduces the carrying value by expensing the prepaid royalty to
reflect management's best estimate of the amounts to be recovered in
future periods. The Company is currently renegotiating the payment terms
of its agreement with Greg Norman and Great White Shark Enterprises, Inc.
and is preparing its forecasts for 1999. Both of these events have an
impact on the appropriate carrying value of the prepaid royalty. The
Company intends to make a final evaluation for fiscal 1998 when the
renegotiations of the payment terms to Greg Norman and Great White Shark
Enterprises and the 1999 forecasts are completed. This evaluation may
result in a reduction of the carrying value of the prepaid royalty for
fiscal 1998.
(2) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" which is required to be adopted in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires the reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
7
<PAGE> 8
general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as
the change in equity during the financial reporting period of a business
enterprise resulting from non-owner sources. The Company adopted SFAS No.
130 on January 1, 1998. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations as comprehensive income is equal to net income for all periods
presented.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information". This statement establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 131 effective December 31, 1998.
SFAS No. 133 ,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", is effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 1999.
This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as
either an asset or a liability at its fair value. The Company intends to
adopt SFAS 133 in 1999 and expects that the adoption of this pronouncement
will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position since
the Company does not presently have any derivative or hedging-type
investment as defined by SFAS 133.
(3) FINANCINGS
(a) JUNE FINANCING
On June 13, 1997, the Company arranged a three-year $7.5 million debt and
convertible equity facility (the "June Financing") with a group of
investment funds (the "Funds"). The Company issued and sold to the Funds
certain securities, including convertible notes (the "Notes") which are
convertible into the Company's preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"),
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 13, 1997
(the "Agreement"), among the Company and the Funds.
Interest payments on the Notes are, at the option of the Company, payable
in cash or in shares of common stock. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 the Company issued an aggregate of 35,071 shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") in lieu of cash interest
payments of $93,500.
On February 6, 1998, $6 million principal amount of outstanding Notes were
converted into 6,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is senior to the Common
Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation and dissolution. Each share
of Preferred Stock entitles the holder to an annual dividend of 8.25%,
payable on a quarterly basis, which dividend increases to 18% in certain
situations as specified in the Amended Certificate of Designation with
respect to the Preferred Stock. During the first nine months of 1998 the
Company issued an aggregate of 140,280 shares of Common Stock in lieu of
cash dividends due on the Preferred Stock of $374,000. Holders of the
shares of Preferred Stock do not have voting rights, except upon the
occurrence of certain events that would affect the preferences and rights
of the Preferred Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible
8
<PAGE> 9
into Common Stock at the lesser of: (i) $6.00 per share of Common Stock or
(ii) a discount ranging from 15% to 22.5% of the market price of the
Common Stock at the time of conversion; in certain circumstances, the
conversion price may be as low as 50% of the market price of the Common
Stock at the time of conversion. The Preferred Stock is redeemable by the
Company at any time at its option. The intrinsic value of the above
described beneficial conversion feature ($1,350,000) has been recognized
as an increase in additional paid-in-capital and a decrease in Preferred
Stock. This beneficial conversion factor is being amortized as an embedded
Preferred Stock dividend through December 31, 1998 (the date the
conversion feature resumes).
The Board of Directors is authorized, without further approval of the
stockholders, to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights,
voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, and
any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to
each new series of Preferred Stock.
The remaining $1.5 million of outstanding Notes (reflected in the
accompanying balance sheet net of discount) held by the Funds are secured
debt pursuant to a security agreement, dated February 6, 1998 (the
"Security Agreement"), between the Company and H.W. Partners, L.P., as
agent for and representative of the Funds. With respect to such $1.5
million in outstanding Notes, the Funds have been granted a security
interest in the collateral described in the Security Agreement, which
includes all of the Company's unrestricted cash deposit accounts, accounts
receivable, inventory and equipment and fixtures excluding the vans.
On March 16, 1998, the Company sold an additional 1,550 shares of
Preferred Stock to the Funds in exchange for non-marketable securities
with an aggregate fair market value of $1,550,000. The securities consist
of warrants to acquire common shares of various publicly traded companies
and the fair value has been determined using the Black Scholes model.
During the first nine months of 1998 the Company issued an aggregate of
3,805 shares of Common Stock for payment of dividends due of $13,143. On
April 20, 1998, the Company redeemed the 1,550 shares of Preferred Stock
from the Funds in exchange for the non-marketable securities mentioned
above.
As a condition to the consummation of the Marion Equity Financing (see
Note 3(b)), the Company entered into the Agreement and Second Amendment to
Bridge Securities Purchase Agreement and Related Documents, dated March
27, 1998 (the "Second Amendment"), among the Company and the Funds.
Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Funds agreed that they would not
convert, prior to December 31, 1998, any shares of Preferred Stock or any
principal amount of the Notes into shares of Common Stock, unless a
"Material Transaction" (defined as a change of control of the Company, a
transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or a merger
of the Company into another entity) has occurred. Further, the Funds
agreed that they would not, prior to March 31, 1999, publicly sell any
shares of Common Stock owned or acquired by the Funds, unless a Material
Transaction has occurred; the Funds are permitted, after June 30, 1998 and
subject to the Company's right of first refusal, to privately sell any
shares of Common Stock that they own or acquire, provided the purchaser
agrees in writing to be bound by the same resale restrictions.
The Funds have granted to the Company an option to redeem the Preferred
Stock and the Notes owned by the Funds. If the Company had redeemed such
Preferred Stock and Notes on or before June 30, 1998, the redemption price
would have been 80% of the principal amount
9
<PAGE> 10
outstanding of the Notes being redeemed, or 80% of the liquidation
preference of the Preferred Stock being redeemed, plus accrued interest
and dividends in the event that all of the Preferred Stock and Notes owned
by the Funds were not redeemed by June 30, 1998. If the redemption of the
Notes and Preferred Stock is after June 30, 1998 but on or before December
31, 1998, the 80% referred to in the preceding sentence increases by 2%
per month, up to 90% in December 1998. If the redemption of the Notes and
Preferred Stock occurs after December 31, 1998, the redemption price shall
be as provided in the Agreement between the Company and the Funds. The
Company is required to redeem all of the Preferred Stock outstanding prior
to redemption of any of the Notes. In addition, the Funds have granted to
the Company and to Marion (see Note 3(b)) an option to acquire, on or
before March 31, 1999, all of the shares of Common Stock owned by the
Funds. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had not redeemed any of the
Preferred Stock or Notes.
In connection with the Second Amendment, the Funds received 100,000 shares
of Common Stock, as well as the right to receive 200,000 additional shares
of Common Stock in the event that all of the Preferred Stock and Notes
owned by the Funds have not been redeemed by the Company by June 30, 1998.
The 200,000 additional shares of Common Stock were issued on July 1, 1998.
Further, the exercise price of the warrants issued in June 1997 pursuant
to the Agreement has been reduced from $10.675 per share to $3.25 per
share and the exercise price of the warrants issued in December 1997 has
been reduced from $4.00 per share to $3.25 per share. The fair values of
the issuances of Common Stock and the repricing of the warrants has been
recorded as financing costs. The Company has registered all of such shares
of Common Stock (including the shares underlying warrants) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective April 15, 1998.
(b) MARION EQUITY FINANCING
In March 1998, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Marion
Agreement") with Marion Interglobal, Ltd., an investment group ("Marion"),
or its assigns. The Marion Agreement calls for the Company to receive up
to $11,000,000 from Marion in exchange for shares of Common Stock as
explained herein. Pursuant to the Marion Agreement, the purchase of Common
Stock is to occur in three tranches as follows: (i) on March 27, 1998, the
Company sold to Marion 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate
consideration of $3,000,000 which was received on April 16, 1998; (ii) on
June 30, 1998, the Company sold to Marion 800,000 shares of Common Stock
for an aggregate consideration of $2,000,000; and (iii) on or prior to
September 30, 1998 the Company may sell a number of shares of Common Stock
(to be determined by when the closing occurs, which would range from
2,666,667 shares to 3,200,000 shares) for an aggregate consideration of
$6,000,000. The third tranche was contingent on Marion's satisfaction that
the Company met or exceeded certain unspecified financial targets expected
by Marion, in its sole discretion and Marion was under no firm obligation
to complete this tranche. The third tranche of the Marion Agreement was
not completed by Marion due to market conditions. Pursuant to the Marion
Agreement the Company agreed to use the proceeds of the third tranche to
redeem the Notes and Preferred stock issued in the June Financing. The
Company paid transaction fees to Marion upon completion of each tranche as
follows: (i) 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock for the first $3,000,000
tranche; (ii) 800,000 shares of Common Stock for the second $2,000,000
tranche; and (iii) no additional fee for the completion of the third
tranche. The Company issued an additional 10,000 shares as a finders fee
in connection with this financing. The issuance and
10
<PAGE> 11
sale of Common Stock in the first and second tranches issued to Marion,
was approved by the Company's stockholders at the special shareholder
meeting held on May 15, 1998.
Further, upon the consummation of the second tranche of the Marion
Agreement, Mr. Alan Lubell, a former director of the Company, transferred
250,000 shares of Common Stock to Marion, which shares were registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective April 15, 1998.
Pursuant to the Marion Agreement, Marion was the representative of a group
of investors and was entitled to assign its rights to receive shares of
Common Stock from the Company and Mr. Lubell. Marion exercised this right
and allocated the shares of Common Stock from the Company and Mr. Lubell
to various unrelated investors and retained 876,000 shares for its own
account. Marion is controlled by Ronald Seale who became Chairman of the
Board of the Company on June 3, 1998 and presently holds 976,000 shares of
Common Stock.
Further, the Company may not redeem the warrants issued in the initial
public offering without the prior written consent of Marion.
As a condition to the consummation of this equity financing, the Company
renegotiated the terms of its outstanding Notes and Preferred Stock with
the Funds (see Note 3(a) for details).
(c) EQUIPMENT FINANCING
In August 1997, the Company entered into an equipment financing facility
whereby the Company will be provided with up to $2.5 million in financing.
The facility provides the Company with equipment financing of $100,000 per
van for 25 vans, each of which is anticipated to cost approximately
$150,000. The Company has drawn on $800,000 of the facility to finance
eight vans purchased in May 1997. The outstanding balance bears interest
at the rate of 11.62% and is payable in 36 consecutive monthly payments of
$25,328 which commenced in August 1997, followed by one balloon payment of
$47,040. The Company has pledged to the lender a certificate of deposit in
the aggregate amount of $200,000 in connection with the financing of the
first eight vans which is included in "Investments-Restricted" in the
accompanying September 30, 1998 balance sheet.
The Company acquired certain fixed assets under capital leases totaling
$913,170. As a condition of the leases the Company is required, throughout
the term of the leases, to post letters of credit in the aggregate amount
of $538,902 for collateral on the leases. The letters of credit were
issued from the Company's bank and the Company pledged one of its
investment funds with a balance of $623,012 as security, which is included
in "Investments-Restricted" in the accompanying September 30, 1998 balance
sheet.
(4) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company currently has employment agreements with three executive
employees which expire on December 31, 2000. The agreements provide for
aggregate minimum annual compensation of approximately $463,750 in 1998,
$540,000 in 1999 and $600,000 in 2000.
11
<PAGE> 12
The agreements are automatically renewed thereafter for additional
one-year periods unless the Company or the employees provide timely notice
of termination. The agreements also provide for potential performance
bonuses and severance payments ranging from three to twelve months.
(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Effective March 1, 1995 the Company entered into a license agreement (the
"Agreement") with Greg Norman ("Norman"), a professional golfer, and Great
White Shark Enterprises, Inc. ("Great White Shark"), pursuant to which the
Company was granted a worldwide license to use Norman's name, likeness and
endorsement in connection with the production and promotion of the
Company's products. Norman will receive royalties of 8% of all net
revenues, as defined, derived from the sale of ONE-ON-ONE videotapes.
As of June 3, 1997, the Company, Norman and Great White Shark executed an
amendment (the "Amendment") to the Agreement. Norman, Great White Shark
and the Company agreed to restructure the terms of the payments due to
Norman under the Agreement by: (i) altering the payments such that Norman
will receive 102,000 in shares of Common Stock; (ii) changing the schedule
of the payments such that they will be paid to Norman over a period of
time from January 1998 through April 2000; and (iii) granting to Norman
options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock. Such options are
exercisable at a price of $10.00 per share, vest immediately and are
exercisable at Norman's discretion at any time prior to their expiration
on June 30, 2000.
The Amendment restructures the payments to Norman as follows: 1997 - as of
December 31, 1997 $600,000 was paid; 1998 - $700,000 to be paid in
addition to 30,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued during the year;
1999 - $1,200,000 to be paid in addition to 48,000 shares of Common Stock
to be issued during the year; and 2000 - $480,000 to be paid in addition
to 24,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued during the first three
months of the year.
After the initial term, which ends on June 30, 2000, the Company has the
option to renew the Agreement for two additional five-year periods (each
five-year period, a "Renewal Term"). The guaranteed fee to Norman in the
first year of the first Renewal Term will be $1,300,000, increasing by
$100,000 each successive year thereafter; all such fees will be payable in
cash in equal quarterly installments.
The Company is currently negotiating to restructure the terms of the
payments due to Norman under the Amendment (see Note 1 Prepaid
Expenses-Advanced Royalties). Failure to successfully restructure the
payments to Norman may adversely affect the Company's ability to fund
future operations.
(6) STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its 1996 Stock
Option Plan. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on fair
value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net loss and net loss per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1998 would have increased to $7,936,525 and $1.83
and $3,122,809 and $.58, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information,
"forward-looking statements" with respect to Visual Edge Systems Inc. (the
"Company") which represents the Company's expectations or beliefs, including,
but not limited to, statements concerning industry performance, the Company's
operations, performance, financial condition, growth strategies, margins, and
growth in sales of the Company's products. For this purpose, any statements
contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate,"
"intend," "could," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative or other
variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve
substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's
control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of
important factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the Company's
limited availability of cash and working capital; operating losses and
accumulated deficit; limited operating history; risks related to operations;
competition; risk related to trademarks and proprietary rights; dependence on
management; and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
GENERAL
Visual Edge Systems Inc. (the "Company") was organized to develop and
market personalized videotape golf lessons featuring ONE-ON-ONE
instruction by leading professional golfer Greg Norman. The Company has
developed video production technology which digitally combines actual
video footage of a golfer's swing with a synchronized "split-screen"
comparison to Greg Norman's golf swing to produce a 45-minute ONE-ON-ONE
videotape golf lesson. The Company's ONE-ON-ONE personalized videotape
golf lesson analyzes a golfer's swing by comparing it to Greg Norman's
swing at several different club positions from two camera angles using
Greg Norman's pre-recorded instructional commentary and analysis and
computer graphics to highlight important golf fundamentals intended to
improve a golfer's performance. The Company sells its products under the
name "ONE-ON-ONE WITH GREG NORMAN".
The Company was incorporated in July 1994 and commenced developmental
operations in January 1995. From the Company's inception through the end
of 1996, it was primarily engaged in product development, market
development, testing technology, recruitment of key personnel, raising
capital and preparing the software, hardware and videotape coaching
instructions used in the production of its products.
The Company's primary focus is concentrated on marketing and sales
efforts. The Company's marketing strategy is to sell ONE-ON-ONE videotapes
to (a) various organizers of amateur corporate, charity and member golf
tournaments (who typically offer gifts to tournament participants), golf
professionals at private and daily fee golf courses and driving ranges and
indoor event planners who organize trade shows, conventions, sales
meetings, retail store openings and promotions and automobile dealer
showroom promotions, (b) corporations who will give the ONE-ON-ONE WITH
GREG NORMAN lesson as customer and employee appreciation gifts instead of
gifts such as golf balls with logos, fruit baskets or chocolates, (c)
individual golfers or persons who wish to give a gift to a golfer via the
Internet and (d) corporations who
13
<PAGE> 14
will use the ONE-ON-ONE product as an incentive to entice individuals to
purchase or use their product or service. To implement its marketing and
business strategy, the Company has built 16 mobile ONE-ON-ONE production
facilities ("vans") equipped with video and personal computer equipment to
market, promote and produce the Company's products. The Company locates
its ONE-ON-ONE vans in selected geographic areas that service golf courses
and driving ranges throughout the United States, and has placed its first
16 vans in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas
and Ontario, Canada, and is in the process of developing additional vans.
The Company has also opened authorized ONE-ON-ONE videotaping centers in
key cities throughout the country including Atlanta, Boca Raton, Boston,
Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Long Island, Los Angeles, Miami, New
York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Secaucus,
Toronto, and Washington DC/Baltimore, which centers will allow recipients
of ONE-ON-ONE gift certificates to redeem their certificates and receive
their personalized ONE-ON-ONE video golf lesson. These centers are
permanent, part time locations which the Company has developed in
partnership with existing retail establishments such as driving ranges,
golf courses, retailers and automobile dealerships. The Company is
marketing the gift certificate program as corporate incentives and
promotional products and is selling direct to golfers via the Company's
web site, CBS-Sportsline, and advertisements placed in golf magazines and
other industry periodicals. Sales to corporations are handled by the
Company's sales force and independent sales representatives. The Company
also plans to launch an infomercial in the first quarter of 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 1998 ("Q3-98") as compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1997 ("Q3-97") and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 ("Y3-98") as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997 ("Y3-97").
Sales for Q3-98 increased 78% to $921,114, as compared to $518,365 for
Q3-97 and sales for Y3-98 increased 97% to $2,202,264, as compared to
$1,115,116 for Y3-97. During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the
Company changed its method of accounting for non-refundable event deposits
from customers. For quarters prior to the fourth quarter of 1997, the
Company recorded advance non-refundable deposits from customers as
revenue. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1997, advance non-refundable
deposits from customers were deferred until the event occurred. The impact
of this change in accounting method was not material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations. In Y3-98 the Company recorded
only revenue that was earned, with non-refundable deposits from customers
reflected on the balance sheet as current liabilities. Under the new
policy, sales in Q3-97 increased 126% from $407,877, as compared to
$921,114 in Q3-98, and sales for Y3-97 increased 184% from $776,446, as
compared to $2,202,264 in Y3-98. The increase in sales in 1998 as compared
to 1997 is primarily due to the Company's marketing efforts. In addition,
the Company had additional vans in use for the first nine months of 1998
as compared to the first nine months of 1997.
For Q3-98 the Company had a gross profit of $308,934, as compared to a
gross profit of $52,909 for Q3-97 and for Y3-98 had a gross profit of
$558,075, as compared to a gross profit of $196,800 for Y3-97. Under the
new accounting method regarding non-refundable deposits from customers,
gross loss in Q3-97 would have been $57,579 or a gross margin of -14%, as
compared to a gross profit of $308,934 or a gross margin of 34% in Q3-98.
Gross loss for Y3-97 would have been $141,870, as compared to a gross
profit of $558,075 for Y3-98. The
14
<PAGE> 15
increase in gross profit in 1998 as compared to 1997 is primarily due to
significant training costs for van operators that were incurred in 1997
and were significantly decreased in 1998, as well as low initial sales
during the Company's start-up phase in 1997.
Operating expenses for Q3-98 decreased 54% to $1,129,226, as compared to
$2,458,386 for Q3-97 and operating expenses for Y3-98 decreased 41% to
$3,236,788, as compared to $5,479,362 for Y3-97. The decrease in operating
expenses reflects reductions in corporate overhead and start-up expenses
that were incurred in 1997.
The Company earned $69,131 in interest income for the nine month period
ending September 30, 1998, as compared to $47,378 for the nine month
period ending September 30, 1997. Interest expense for the nine month
period ending September 30, 1998 was $199,311, as compared to $313,838 for
the nine month period ending September 30, 1997. The decrease in interest
expense is primarily due to the conversion of the June Financing Notes to
Preferred Stock (see Note 3(a)).
Operating loss for Q3-98 decreased 54% to $820,292, as compared to
$2,405,477 for Q3-97 and for Y3-98 decreased 49% to $2,678,713, as
compared to $5,282,562 for Y3-97. Net loss before extraordinary item for
Q3-98 decreased 66% to $982,556, as compared to $2,872,185 for Q3-97 and
for Y3-98 decreased 55% to $2,968,345, as compared to $6,571,453 for
Y3-97. Net loss per share for Q3-98 decreased 74% to $.15, as compared to
$.59 for Q3-97 and for Y3-98 decreased 63% to $.56 as compared to $1.54
for Y3-97. Under the new accounting method regarding non-refundable
deposits from customers, operating loss in Q3-97 would have been
$2,515,965, as compared to $820,292 for Q3-98, a 67% decrease and for
Y3-97 would have been $5,621,232, as compared to $2,678,713 for Y3-98, a
52% decrease. Net loss for Q3-97 would have been $2,982,673, as compared
to $982,556 for Q3-98, a 67% decrease and for Y3-97 would have been
$6,910,123, as compared to $2,968,345 for Y3-98, a 57% decrease. Net loss
per share for Q3-97 would have been $.62, as compared to $.15 for Q3-98, a
75% decrease and for Y3-97 would have been $1.61, as compared to $.56 for
Y3-98, a 65% decrease. The decreases in operating and net loss in 1998 as
compared to 1997 resulted from increased gross profit and decreased
operating expenses in 1998. The decrease in net loss per share in 1998 as
compared to 1997 is attributable to both a decrease in net loss and an
increase in the number of shares outstanding which is partially offset by
Preferred Stock dividends recorded in 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On September 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$48,460, unrestricted short-term investments (certificates of deposit) of
$2,800,000 and working capital of $2,973,277, as compared to cash and cash
equivalents of $224,429, unrestricted short-term investments (certificates
of deposit) of $1,080,000 and working capital of $788,323 at December 31,
1997. Net cash used in operating activities for Y3-98 was $2,455,061,
which was used to fund the Company's losses. Net cash used in investing
activities was $2,041,228 and $4,320,320 was provided by financing
activities for a total decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $175,969.
Net cash used in operating activities for Y3-97 was $4,325,149. Net cash
provided by investing and financing activities in Y2-97 was $965,274 and
$3,432,313, respectively, for a total increase in cash and cash
equivalents in Y3-97 of $72,438.
On September 30, 1998, the Company had stockholders' equity of $4,931,613,
as compared to a stockholders' deficit of $1,137,662 at December 31, 1997.
15
<PAGE> 16
The Company anticipates that its current capital resources, when combined
with anticipated cash flows from operations and based on the successful
completion of the renegotiations of the payment terms of its agreement
with Norman and Great White Shark, will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's contemplated working capital requirements for approximately the
next twelve months. There can be no guarantee that the Company's
anticipated cash flow from operations and sales will be realized or the
renegotiations of the payments terms with Norman and Great White Shark
will be successful. Failure to achieve one or both of these may adversely
affect the Company's ability to fund future operations.
SEASONALITY
The Company considers its business to be seasonal and expects sales to be
generally higher in the second and third quarters of each fiscal year.
THIRD PARTY REPORTS
The Company does not make financial forecasts or projections nor endorse
the financial forecasts or projections of third parties nor does it
comment on the accuracy of third party reports. The Company does not
participate in the preparation of the reports or the estimates given by
the analysts. Analysts who issue financial reports are not privy to
non-public financial information. Any purchase of the Company's securities
based on financial estimates provided by analysts or third parties is done
entirely at the risk of the purchaser.
YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUE
The SEC has issued guidance stating that public operating companies should
consider whether there will be any anticipated costs, problems and
uncertainties associated with the Year 2000 issue, which affects many
existing computer programs that use only two digits to identify a year in
the date field. The Company anticipates that its business operations will
electronically interact with third parties very minimally, if at all. The
Company has assessed the Year 2000 readiness of internal accounting and
operating systems and communicated with key customers and suppliers
regarding their exposure to Year 2000 issues. Based on the results of
these actions, the Company believes the Year 2000 issue will not have a
material impact on the Company's business or operations.
