NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The condensed consolidated financial statements of SysComm International
Corporation (the "Company") are unaudited (except for the balance sheet
information as of September 30, 1999, which is derived from the Company's
audited financial statements) and reflect all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating
results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, contained in the Company's Annual Report. The
results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending
September 30, 2000, or any future interim period.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations.
Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
1999
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $470,000 or $.10 per
share compared to a net profit of $172,000 or $.04 per share for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The net loss was primarily the result of
significantly lower sales.
Revenues
Sales revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $9,338,000
compared with $14,355,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of
$5,017,000 or 35.0%. This decrease in sales revenues reflects significantly
higher competition in the sales of hardware components as well as a transition
from participation in IBM's Authorized Assembler Program in the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 to a more service-oriented sales emphasis.
Gross Profit
Gross Profit as a percentage of sales was 14.1% for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to 13.4% for the same period last year. This increase reflects
the Company's strategy of focusing on the more profitable mid-range computer
market and consulting services.
Selling & Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000
increased by $295,000 or 19.0% to $1,848,000 from $1,553,000 for the same period
last year. This increase is due primarily to an increase in payroll and
payroll-related expenses associated with converting our operating and selling
staff from hardware sales to technical services and e-solutions selling.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased $46,000 or
57.5% to $34,000 from $80,000 for the same period last year. The decrease is
attributable to a reduction in borrowing as a result of the Company's reduction
in accounts receivable to $7,347,000 from $12,948,000 as of the same quarter-end
last year. The reduction in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to
reduced sales levels and more aggressive management of collections.
<PAGE>
(Loss) Income from Operations before Income Taxes
Loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $496,000
compared with a profit of $290,000 for the same period last year. The change of
$786,000 was primarily attributable to lower sales revenues (which was partially
offset by increased gross profit margins) and increases in selling and
administrative expenses.
Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was a
tax benefit associated with a refund received from prior years compared to a tax
provision of $118,000 or 40.7% for the same period last year.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared With Six Months Ended March 31, 1999.
Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,218,000 compared to a
profit of $682,000 for the same period last year. Basic loss per share was $.26
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to a profit of $.14 for the
same period last year. The loss is primarily the result of lower sales volume,
particularly offset by higher gross profit margins and higher selling and
administrative expenses.
Revenues
Sales revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased by $20,621,000
or 49.5% to $21,063,000 from $41,684,000 for the same period last year. The
decrease in sales revenue is primarily attributed to the Company's decision to
discontinue low margin PC assembly operations and focus on sales of e-business
solutions including mid-range hardware and data and storage management software
and services.
Gross Profit
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 12.3% for the six months ended March
31, 2000 compared to 11.4% for the same period last year. The increase reflects
the Company's strategy to focus on higher margin e-business solutions, mid-range
computer sales and services.
Selling & Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2000
increased $627,000 or 18.2% to $4,082,000 from $3,455,000 for the same period
last year. The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to the commitment
of the company to hiring a more technical sales and services staff to more
effectively compete in the e-solutions market space.
<PAGE>
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased to $80,000
compared to $181,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in interest
expense is directly related to the significant decreases in both inventory and
accounts receivable.
Loss from Operations before Income Taxes
Loss from operations before income taxes for the six months ended March 31, 2000
was $1,494,000 versus a profit of $1,141,000 in the same period last year. The
loss is attributable to the decreases in sales volume, partially offset by the
increase in gross profit margins and the increase in selling and administrative
expenses.
Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was a
tax benefit compared to 40.2% for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's current ratio at March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 3.22 and 2.67,
respectively. Working capital at March 31, 2000 was $7,567,000 a decrease of
$2,536,000 over the same period last year.
Cash provided by operating activities was $676,000 and $4,080,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, due primarily to reductions
in the Company's inventory and accounts receivable. Cash used in investing
activities was $225,000 and $39,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, and was primarily utilized in the acquisition of computer
hardware and software. Cash used in financing activities during the six months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $84,000 and $3,013,000, respectively, and
represented net payments made under the Company's Supplier Credit Facility with
IBM and long-term debt in 2000 and 1999.
The Company maintains a credit arrangement with IBM Credit Corporation pursuant
to which it may borrow an amount equal to up to 85% of its eligible receivables
and 100% of eligible inventory up to a maximum of $22,000,000. In addition to
the permanent credit line, there are various credit line uplifts during the
year, which can increase the line of credit by as much as 50%. As of March 31,
2000, interest on outstanding borrowings was prime or prime plus 6.5% should the
Company fail to meet certain collateral requirements. Throughout fiscal 1999 and
the first six months of fiscal 2000, the Company has been in a positive
collateral position with IBM Credit. The Company believes that its present line
of credit with IBM Credit Corporation, coupled with its current earnings
capacity, will be sufficient to meet its capital and operational requirements
for at least the next twelve months.
<PAGE>
As of March 31, 2000, the Company was in default of certain covenants contained
in its loan agreement with IBM Credit Corporation and certain covenants
contained in the mortgage (the "Mortgage") on its building in Shirley, NY. In
both cases, a waiver and amendment was received which will allow continued
operations. With respect to the amendment to the IBM Credit Corporation credit
arrangement, (i) the maximum credit line was reduced to $22,000,000 from
$22,500,000 and (ii) the Net Profit after Tax to Revenue ratio was amended to
provide for a ratio equal to or greater than than ($500,000) for each of the
fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2000 and September 30, 2000 and $0 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2000 and at all times thereafter. All other collateral
requirements remain unchanged. With respect to the Mortgage, the bank and the
Company entered into a Waiver and Fourth Amendment to the Mortgage pursuant to
which the bank waived and amended the quarterly net loss/profit provision
contained in the Mortgage to allow up to a $496,000 net loss for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 and limited net loss to $150,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 and a net profit of $125,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
Also, the parties amended the debt service ratio to require the Company to
maintain the ratio, beginning December 31, 2000, at 1.25:1.00 on a rolling four
quarters calculation throughout the term of the mortgage.

WAIVER and FOURTH AMENDMENT
dated as of May 11, 2000 to the Mortgage
made and entered into as of July 9, 1998
between Syscomm International Corporation
(the "Borrower")and The Chase Manhattan Bank,
a banking corporation duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of
New York (the "Bank")
WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to and waive and amend the provision of the
Mortgage with respect to the required quarterly consolidated net loss and net
profit and Debt Service Coverage Ratio;
WHEREAS, the Bank has consented to waive and amend that provision of the
Mortgage to reflect the changes herein set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Waiver of Section 53:
Compliance with Section 53 of the Mortgage is hereby waived to permit
the Borrower to incur a quarterly consolidated net loss for the fiscal
quarter ending March 31, 2000 as long as the net loss for the quarter
was not greater than $496,000. The Borrower was required to report a
minimum consolidated net profit of $500,000 for the fiscal quarter
ending March 31, 2000.
Amendment to Section 53:
Section 53 of the Mortgage is hereby amended as follows: (i) the
Borrower shall not suffer a quarterly consolidated net loss (calculated
exclusive of extraordinary gains) greater than $150,000 for the fiscal
quarter ending June 30, 2000; (ii) the Borrower shall report a
quarterly consolidated net profit of at least $125,000 for the fiscal
quarter ending September 30, 2000; and (iii) beginning December 31,
2000, the Borrower shall through out the term of the Mortgage maintain
a rolling four quarter Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25:00.
The Waiver and Fourth Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.
Except as expressly amended or consented to hereby, the Mortgage shall remain in
full force and effect in accordance with the original terms thereof. The Waiver
and Fourth Amendment herein contained is limited specifically to the matters set
forth above and does not constitute directly or by implication an amendment or
waiver of any other provision of the Mortgage or any default which may occur or
may have occurred under the Mortgage.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
same meanings as defined in the Mortgage.
The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this
Waiver and Fourth Amendment, no Event of Default or Default exists under the
Mortgage or any related documents.
This Waiver and Fourth Amendment shall become effective when duly executed
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the parties hereto shall have been delivered to the Bank.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower and the Bank have caused the Waiver and Fourth
Amendment to be duly executed by their duly authorized officers, all as of the
day and year first above written.
