ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, THE
REALIZATION OF WHICH MAY BE IMPACTED BY CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS DISCUSSED IN
"RISK FACTORS," BELOW, AND THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS FORM 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
The Registrant develops, produces and distributes entertaining,
educational and informational television programming. The Company endeavors to
present its programming on network, cable and public television.
The Company derives its revenues from the sale of advertising and
promotion during the shows the Company produces and from companies, who sponsor
these shows.
At present, the Company has several projects in production, "The Stock
Show" and "Intervention". Management has targeted the fourth quarter of this
fiscal year or the first quarter on next fiscal year to market these projects.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Atlantic Syndication Network, Inc. had no revenues for the quarter
ended, May 31,1999. During this quarter, the Company incurred $125,000 of
operating expenses. Due to the nature of these operating expenses,$45,000 of
operating expenses were capitalized as project development costs; to be
amortized over the useful life of the project.
On May 4,1999 the Board of Directors approved a stock warrant plan. The
stock warrant plan provides for two members of the Board of Directors to receive
a total of 325,000 stock warrants giving them the right to purchase 325,000
shares of stock at $.25 per share. This right to exercise any or all stock
warrants expires February 28,2009. The total cost of the stock warrants is
$0.001 per warrant, fully paid in services provided of $ 325.
RISK FACTORS
IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATED TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking
statements that are based on current expectations and involve a number of risks
and uncertainties. All information herein, which is not historic, and any
inference from historic information concerning future periods, is a
forward-looking statement.
NATURE OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. The television, merchandising and
direct-to-video industries are highly speculative and historically have involved
a substantial degree of risk. The success of a television show or video
production depends upon unpredictable and changing factors such as audience
acceptance, which may bear little or no correlation to the Company's production
and other costs. Audience acceptance of the Company's products represents a
response not only to the artistic components of the products, but also to
promotion by the distributor, the availability of alternative forms of
entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions and
public taste generally, and other intangible factors, all of which change
rapidly and cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, there is a
substantial risk that some or all of the Company's projects will not be
commercially successful, resulting in costs not being recouped or anticipated
profits not being realized.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES. The Company is highly dependent on its
Chief Executive Officer, Kent G. Wyatt, Sr., and each of the other principal
members of its management team, the loss of whose services could have a material
adverse effect upon the business and financial condition of the Company, as well
as the ability of the Company to achieve its objectives. The Company is also
dependent on other key personnel, and on its ability to continue to attract,
retain and motivate highly skilled personnel.
9
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS - continued
The competition for such employees is intense, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in attracting, retaining or motivating key
personnel or that personnel cost increases will not have an adverse effect on
the Company's net income or results of operation.
THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE. The "Year 2000 Issue" variously known as "Y2K
Issue" or the "Millennium Bug" arises out of the fact that many existing
computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the date field, and
if uncorrected, would fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000.
In 1998, the Company evaluated the Y2K issue and its impact on the
Company's operations. Currently, all computers in use and all software is Y2K
compliant and no problems are anticipated.
