SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Preparation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of Form 10-QSB and include all adjustments (consisting of all
normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary
in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
profits have been eliminated.
Note 2 - Going Concern
As discussed in Note 8, the Company owed the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
$1.8 million on or before December 31, 1999. On December 30, 1999, the
Company paid the IRS $400,000 and as of December 31, 1999, $1,378,000 of the
IRS debt was still outstanding. On January 5, 2000, the IRS sent NBI notice
of a default of its amended payment agreement with the IRS dated April 8, 1998
("Amended Payment Agreement"), due to the Company's failure to pay the
remaining $1,378,000 that was due on December 31, 1999. Per the terms of the
agreement, an event of default occurred on January 20, 2000, fifteen days
after written notice and demand from the IRS to NBI. On February 18, 2000,
the Company paid the IRS $500,000 from a deposit received from its CEO, Jay
Lustig, related to NBI's pending sale of all of the capital stock of a
wholly-owned subsidiary, NBI Properties, Inc. ("NBI Properties") to an entity
which is 100% owned and controlled by Mr. Lustig. On March 15, 2000, the
Company received a notice of default from the IRS regarding NBI's failure to
cure the default of its Amended Payment Agreement. The IRS declared the
remaining principal amount of $878,000 due and payable with interest thereon
at the statutory rate provided under the Internal Revenue Code since the last
interest payment made by NBI on July 9, 1997 under the original agreement.
Accrued interest through March 31, 2000 totaled $219,000. In addition, the
IRS notified the Company that it intends to pursue its remedies. In order to
pay the remaining amount outstanding, management intends to generate
sufficient cash through the sale of the stock of NBI Properties; however,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a sale of
this stock and satisfy its obligations to the IRS. This condition raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management believes that
after the Company has sold the stock of NBI Properties and pays off its IRS
debt, it will generate sufficient future cash flows from its remaining
operations to allow the Company to continue as a going concern. (See Notes 4,
8 and 13).
Note 3 - Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of federally
insured limits.
Note 4 - Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors, Inc. ("Krazy Colors") operation due to continuing losses incurred by
the operation, as well as the business' inability to sustain significant
long-term customers. On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell
the assets or stock of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NBI Properties and
Willowbrook Properties, Inc. ("Willowbrook Properties"), in order to pay the
remaining balance of the IRS debt due on December 31, 1999 (see Notes 2
and 8). Therefore, the Company has discontinued its children's paint
manufacturing, hotel and real estate development operations, and it has
separately reported the income or loss from these segments as discontinued
operations for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
as follows:

</TABLE>
In determining the loss on disposal of its children's paint manufacturing
operation, which was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the
Company estimated the net realizable value of the disposal of the discontinued
operation, including estimated costs and expenses directly associated with the
disposal and the estimated loss from operations through the expected disposal
date. The Company recorded a deferred gain on the sale of the land
development during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 (see Notes 8 and 13) and
expects a significant gain overall from the discontinued operations of the
hotel, and therefore, no amount has been recorded related to these disposals;
the gain will be recognized when realized.
The disposal of the children's paint manufacturing operation was substantially
complete as of September 30, 1999. On December 17, 1999, the Company sold a
majority of the assets of its real estate development, consisting of land and
construction-in-progress, to an entity which is 100% owned and controlled by
its CEO. The Company intends to sell all of the capital stock of NBI
Properties to an entity which is 100% owned and controlled by its CEO. (See
Note 13).
The net long-term assets of discontinued operations at March 31, 2000
consisted primarily of the hotel's building and furniture, fixtures and
equipment, net of a long-term mortgage note payable by the hotel. The net
current assets of discontinued operations at March 31, 2000 consisted
primarily of cash balances net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Note 5 - Investments in Securities and Obligations from Short-Sale
Transactions
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000, all of the Company's
securities were classified as trading securities; no securities were
classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. The Company held no
investments and had no realized or unrealized gains or losses for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000. The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains of
$55,000 and $2,000, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to a realized loss of $507,000 for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5 - Investments in Securities and Obligations from Short-Sale
Transactions (cont'd)
As part of its investment policies, the Company's investment portfolio may
include option instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or
more securities. As a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly and have larger fluctuations than with a more diversified
portfolio. In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading securities. Short-sales can result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses can be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of the securities subsequently increase. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
no investment positions.
Note 6 - Inventories
Inventories are comprised of the following amounts which are presented net of
reserves totaling $241,000:

Note 7 - Note Receivable from Related Party
In conjunction with the sale of Willowbrook Properties' land and
construction-in-progress (see Notes 4 and 13), on December 17, 1999, the
Company received a note receivable in the amount of $2.7 million from an
entity which is 100% owned and controlled by Jay Lustig, NBI's CEO. The note
bears interest at the rate of two-year Treasury Notes plus 200 basis points
with a rate of 8.14% determined at closing for the remainder of calendar 1999
and all of calendar 2000, and to be redetermined each succeeding December 31
for the following calendar year's rate. The note is payable in quarterly
installments of interest only with the entire outstanding principal balance
plus any accrued but unpaid interest to be paid in full on December 31, 2006.
Included in other current assets at March 31, 2000 was $63,000 of accrued
interest on the note.
Note 8 - Income Taxes
IRS Debt:
On April 28, 1998, the Company and the IRS entered into an Amended Payment
Agreement, revising the payment terms related to NBI Inc.'s IRS debt of
$5,278,000. This agreement, effective April 9, 1998, revised the terms of the
agreement in principal with the IRS effective October 1, 1995 and the original
settlement agreement with the IRS dated June 12, 1991, with respect to NBI's
federal tax liabilities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1980 through 1988.
Under the current agreement, $3,500,000 of the IRS debt was due and paid on
December 31, 1998, and the remaining balance of $1,778,000 was due on December
31, 1999. On December 30, 1999, the Company paid the IRS $400,000 and as of
December 31, 1999, $1,378,000 of the IRS debt was still outstanding. On
January 5, 2000, the IRS sent NBI notice of a default of its Amended Payment
Agreement, due to the Company's failure to pay the remaining $1,378,000 that
was due on December 31, 1999. Per the terms of the agreement, an event of
default occurred on January 20, 2000, fifteen days after written notice and
demand from the IRS to NBI.

Note 8 - Income Taxes (cont'd)
IRS Debt: (cont'd)
On February 18, 2000, the Company paid the IRS $500,000 from a deposit
received from its CEO, Jay Lustig, related to NBI's pending sale of all of the
capital stock of NBI Properties to an entity which is 100% owned and
controlled by Mr. Lustig. On March 15, 2000, the Company received a notice
of default from the IRS regarding NBI's failure to cure the default of its
Amended Payment Agreement. The IRS declared the remaining principal amount of
$878,000 due and payable with interest thereon at the statutory rate provided
under the Internal Revenue Code since the last interest payment made by NBI on
July 9, 1997 under the original agreement. Accrued interest through March 31,
2000 totaled $219,000. In addition, the IRS notified the Company that it
intends to pursue its remedies. In order to pay the remaining amount
outstanding, management intends to generate sufficient cash through the sale
of the stock of NBI Properties; however, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to complete a sale of this stock and satisfy its
obligations to the IRS. This condition raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that
after the Company has sold the stock of NBI Properties and pays off its IRS
debt, it will generate sufficient future cash flows from its remaining
operations to allow the Company to continue as a going concern. (See Notes 2,
4 and 13). The IRS debt continues to be collateralized by a security interest
in all of the capital stock of American Glass, Inc., d/b/a L.E. Smith Glass
Company ("L.E. Smith") and NBI Properties.
Income tax provision:
The Company recorded income tax provisions from continuing operations of
$36,000 and $57,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000,
respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999, the Company
recorded income tax provisions from continuing operations of $39,000 and
$266,000, respectively. These provisions include state and other income taxes
and are based upon book income.
In accordance with fresh start accounting, which was adopted as of April 30,
1992, and as a result of the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, utilization of any income tax benefit from
pre-reorganization net operating losses is not credited to the income tax
provision, but rather, reported as an addition to capital in excess of par
value. No pre-reorganization net operating losses were utilized for the three
or nine months ended March 31, 2000 or 1999.
Willowbrook Properties' Sale:
During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a taxable gain
of approximately $921,000 from the sale of a majority of the assets of
Willowbrook Properties, whereas, the gain has been deferred for financial
statement purposes (see Note 13). NBI does not expect to incur any federal
income taxes payable from this gain, due to the availability of post-
reorganization capital loss carryforwards. However, it does expect to incur
approximately $40,000 of Pennsylvania state income taxes on this gain because
Willowbrook Properties' does not have sufficient Pennsylvania net operating
loss carryforwards available to offset the entire gain. The income tax expense
has been netted against the deferred gain on the sale.
Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity
The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.
At March 31, 2000, 10,130,520 shares were issued including 2,027,200 held in
treasury. Therefore, the Company had 8,103,320 shares issued and outstanding
at March 31, 2000.

Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity
The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par
value of $.01 per share, and has designated 2,000,000 preferred shares as
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. At March 31, 2000, 507,421 shares of
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors declared the first semi-annual
dividend on its outstanding Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock to holders of
record as of August 19, 1999. On September 3, 1999, $252,000 in dividends
were paid, consisting of $182,000 in cash and 7,421 in additional shares of
preferred stock, valued at $70,000, per the elections of the holders. No
other dividends have been declared or paid to-date.
Note 10 - Income Per Common Share

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 11 - Comprehensive Income
Effective July 1, 1998, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Comprehensive income includes all
changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, the Company had no items of comprehensive income other than net
income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income has not been
presented for these periods.
Note 12 - Seasonal Variations of Operations
Excluding the effect of its significant customer, L.E. Smith typically has its
strongest revenue performance during the first and second fiscal quarters due
to seasonal variations. Generally, the fourth fiscal quarter's revenue is
moderately lower than in the first and second quarters, while the third fiscal
quarter's revenue is usually significantly lower than the other quarters.
However, historically these trends have been materially affected by
fluctuations in the timing of orders from its significant customer, which does
not have consistent trends. In addition, sales to L.E. Smith's other
customers during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were higher than in the
first and second quarters of fiscal 2000 because the Company had a large
increase in new customers during the third quarter.
Note 13 - Related Party Transactions
On December 17, 1999, the Company closed on the sale of a majority of the
assets of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Willowbrook Properties, to an entity
which is 100% owned and controlled by NBI's CEO. The terms and conditions of
the sale were previously approved at NBI's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held
on December 16, 1999. The Company has accounted for the sale in accordance
with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate." The terms of the
sale do not meet the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for recognition of gain until
the purchase price is paid in full in cash. Consequently, the Company
recorded a deferred gain on the sale of $881,000, as of March 31, 2000, which
is net of selling expenses of approximately $48,000 and net of approximately
$40,000 of related income taxes. The sale consisted of land and
construction-in-progress and was for a net purchase price of $3.3 million.
The purchase price was net of construction costs which were previously funded
by advances from Mr. Lustig. Concurrently with the closing of the Willowbrook
Properties sale transaction, such amounts were deemed to be expenses of the
buyer. The purchase price was paid by $600,000 in cash and a note payable in
the amount of $2.7 million. (See Notes 4, 7 and 8.)
In December, 1999, the Company paid Mr. Lustig approximately $148,000
consisting of repayment of a revolving line of credit balance of $100,000,
cumulative accrued interest thereon of $25,000 and an accrued bonus from
fiscal 1997 of $23,000.
Mr. Lustig has proposed to purchase all of the capital stock of NBI Properties
for $1,400,000 in cash and a note payable of $1.1 million. The terms and
conditions of the sale were approved at NBI's Annual Meeting of Stockholders
held on December 16, 1999. On February 18, 2000, Mr. Lustig paid the Company
a deposit of $500,000 related to this proposed purchase. Mr. Lustig is
currently working on obtaining the funds to enable him to close on this
transaction.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000
The statements in this discussion contain certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are not
historical facts. The forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's
current expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors. Should one or more of such
risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, the actual results could differ materially from those contemplated
by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect such
forward-looking statements include, among others, ability to satisfy the
Company's obligations to the IRS, loss of significant customers, reliance on
key personnel, competitive factors and pricing pressures, availability of raw
materials, labor disputes, investment results, limitations on the utilization
of net operating loss carryforwards, adequacy of insurance coverage, inflation
and general economic conditions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues from continuing operations totaling $4.0 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 reflected an increase of $445,000, or 12.4%, from $3.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. L.E. Smith experienced a
large increase in new customers during the third quarter of fiscal 2000,
including a significant increase in sales to department stores. However, this
was partially offset by a decline of $342,000 in revenue from its largest
customer. Revenues from continuing operations totaled $11.0 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 2000, a decline of $823,000 or 7.0%, compared to
$11.8 million in revenues for the same period in fiscal 1999, resulting from a
decline of $1,681,000 in revenue from L.E. Smith's largest customer and a
decline of $317,000 in revenue from a customer that declared Chapter 11
bankruptcy in March 1999. Although the Company expected a substantial decline
in revenues from its largest customer, the decline has been far more severe
than originally expected. However, these declines were significantly offset
by sustained revenue growth from its other customers, including a large
increase in new customers.
Revenues from continuing operations are expected to increase substantially for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in the prior
fiscal year; L.E. Smith expects increased business from new and existing
customers, as well as a significant increase in revenue from its largest
customer, as revenues from this customer during the fourth quarter of fiscal
1999 was unusually low. Revenues from continuing operations are expected to
decrease moderately for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 2000. Although the Company expects a substantial
increase in revenue from its largest customer during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year, it expects revenues
from this customer to be flat compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2000.
In addition, the Company expects a decline in revenues from its other
customers due to a drop-off in initial sales to new customers. The Company is
still in the process of hiring a new sales representative to concentrate on
increasing the volume of the glass decorating business in order to help offset
the effect of the continuing decline in revenues from its largest customer.
Cost of sales from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
was 74.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to 71.8% for the same
period in fiscal 1999. For the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
cost of sales from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
was 74.2% and 69.4%, respectively. The related significant decline in gross
margin was primarily due to general cost increases, including significant
increases in its health and workmen's compensation insurance costs (increases
of $41,000 quarter-to-date and $97,000 year-to-date), as well as higher
depreciation expense (increases of $18,000 quarter-to-date and $118,000
year-to-date), resulting from $1.0 million of capital improvements made in the
prior fiscal year, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2000, a significant
decline in revenue volume available to cover fixed costs.
Cost of sales from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 is expected to be significantly lower
compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, due to substantially higher
expected sales volume, causing favorable absorption of fixed costs, partially
offset by general cost increases. Cost

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000 - CONTINUED
of sales from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 is expected to be slightly higher compared to
the third quarter of fiscal 2000, primarily due to lower projected sales
volume.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations
decreased $67,000, or 8.0% to $768,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 compared to $835,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The decrease
resulted primarily from the absence of an additional bad debt provision of
$127,000 recorded by L.E. Smith during the third quarter of fiscal 1999, due
to a customer's declaration of Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 1999, as well as
savings resulting from cost control measures. However, these declines were
partially offset by increased selling expenses due to higher sales and
marketing activity and increased sales commissions. The increased sales
commissions were due to increased sales from outside sales representatives,
while the Company experienced a significant decline in revenues from its
largest customer which is a house account and is not subject to outside sales
commissions. Fiscal year-to-date, marketing, general and administrative
expenses from continuing operations were stable at $2,247,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $2,262,000 for the same period of
fiscal 1999. The savings resulting from lower bad debt provisions and cost
control measures slightly exceeded increased selling expenses and general cost
increases incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the
same period in the prior fiscal year.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses are expected to increase
significantly for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same
period in the prior fiscal year resulting primarily from increased sales and
marketing expenses, higher commissions, due to the expected sales mix and
higher projected revenues, and general cost increases slightly offset by savings
from cost control measures. Marketing, general and administrative expenses are
expected to remain constant for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared
to the third quarter of fiscal 2000 due to slightly lower commissions from lower
expected sales partially offset by general cost increases.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded realized and
unrealized gains on investments of $55,000 and $2,000, respectively, compared
to a realized loss on investments of $507,000 for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 1999. The Company held no investments and had no unrealized
gains or losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. As part of its invest-
ment policy, the Company's investment portfolio may include investments in
option instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or more
securities. As a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly and have larger fluctuations than with a more diversified
portfolio. In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading securities. Short-sales can result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses can be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of the securities subsequently increase. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
no investment positions.
The Company recorded interest expense of $268,000 and $365,000 for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, compared to $41,000 and $137,000
for the same periods in fiscal 1999. The increase was due to $219,000 of
interest expense on NBI's IRS debt recorded during the third quarter of fiscal
2000 resulting from the Company's default on this debt. (See Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes 2 and 8.)
The Company recorded income tax provisions from continuing operations of
$36,000 and $57,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000,
respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1999, the Company
recorded income tax provisions from continuing operations of $39,000 and
$266,000, respectively. These provisions include state and other income taxes
and are based upon book income. The state income tax provisions are related
to the Company's Pennsylvania operations and are based upon book income,
because the continuing operations do not have any net operating loss
carryforwards available in Pennsylvania. In accordance with fresh-start
accounting, the income tax provisions recorded include non-cash charges to the
extent that the Company expects to use its pre-reorganization net operating
loss carryforwards. These charges are reported as an addition to capital in
excess of par value, rather than as a credit through the income tax provision.
There were no such non-cash components included in the income tax provisions
for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2000 or 1999.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors operation due to continuing losses incurred by the operation, as well
as the business' inability to sustain significant long-term customers. On
<PAGE>

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000 - CONTINUED
August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell the assets or stock of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NBI Properties and Willowbrook Properties in
order to pay the remaining balance of the IRS debt due on December 31, 1999
(see Notes 2, 4, 8 and 13 to accompanying consolidated financial statements).
Therefore, the Company has discontinued its children's paint manufacturing,
hotel, and real estate development operations, and it has separately reported
the income or loss from these segments as discontinued operations for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Revenues from discontinued operations totaled $476,000 and $1,788,000 for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $474,000 and
$1,821,000 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year.
The Company recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $17,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to a net loss from discontinued
operations of $38,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Year-to-date, the Company recorded net income from discontinued operations of
$16,000 in fiscal 2000 compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of
$223,000 in fiscal 1999. The improvement resulted primarily from the absence
of a loss from the Krazy Colors operation because the estimated loss on
disposal of this operation was accrued for during the second quarter of fiscal
1999. In determining the estimated loss on disposal of its Krazy Colors
operation, the Company estimated the net realizable value of the disposal of
the discontinued operation, including estimated costs and expenses directly
associated with the disposal and the estimated loss from operations through
the expected disposal date. The Company recorded a deferred gain on the sale
of the land development during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and expects a
significant gain overall from the discontinued operations of the hotel, and
therefore, no amount has been recorded related to these disposals; the gain
will be recognized when realized.
The disposal of the children's paint manufacturing operation was substantially
complete as of September 30, 1999. On December 17, 1999, the Company sold a
majority of the assets of its real estate development, consisting of land and
construction-in-progress. The Company intends to sell all of the capital
stock of NBI Properties to an entity which is 100% owned and controlled by its
CEO. (See Notes 8 and 13).
The net long-term assets of discontinued operations at March 31, 2000
consisted primarily of the hotel's building and furniture, fixtures and
equipment, net of a long-term mortgage note payable by the hotel. The net
current assets of discontinued operations at March 31, 2000 consisted
primarily of cash balances net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's total assets increased $1.0 million to $13.8 million at March
31, 2000 from $12.8 million at June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due
to a net gain on the sale of Willowbrook Properties' land and
construction-in-progress of $881,000, which was deferred for financial
statement purposes, and an increase in accounts receivable of $881,000
resulting primarily from significantly higher sales from L.E. Smith in March
2000 than in June 1999. However, these increases in assets were significantly
offset by a cash payment of $182,000 for a portion of the preferred dividends
paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and the use of the net cash
proceeds from the Willowbrook Properties' sale to pay $400,000 on the IRS debt
and $148,000 to the Company's CEO to pay-off a revolving line of credit with
cumulative accrued interest, as well as an accrued bonus payable from fiscal
1997. The Company had negative working capital of $394,000 at March 31, 2000,
compared to negative working capital of $773,000 at June 30, 1999. The
decrease in the working capital deficit resulted primarily from net cash
proceeds of $552,000 from the sale of Willowbrook Properties' land and
construction-in-progress, partially offset by cash and proceeds from
investment trades receivable, included in other current assets at June 30,
1999, which were used to fund a portion of the land development costs incurred
during fiscal 2000, prior to its sale.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
remaining balance of $1.8 million of the Company's debt to the IRS was due on
December 31, 1999. On December 30, 1999, the Company paid
<PAGE>
NBI, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000 - CONTINUED
the IRS $400,000 and as of December 31, 1999, $1,378,000 of the IRS debt was
still outstanding. On January 5, 2000, the IRS sent NBI notice of a default
of its Amended Payment Agreement, due to the Company's failure to pay the
remaining $1,378,000 that was due on December 31, 1999. Per the terms of the
agreement, an event of default occurred on January 20, 2000, fifteen days
after written notice and demand from the IRS to NBI. On February 18, 2000,
the Company paid the IRS $500,000 from a deposit received from its CEO, Jay
Lustig, related to NBI's pending sale of all of the capital stock of NBI
Properties to an entity which is 100% owned and controlled by Mr. Lustig. On
March 15, 2000, the Company received a notice of default from the IRS
regarding NBI's failure to cure the default of its Amended Payment Agreement.
The IRS declared the remaining principal amount of $878,000 due and payable
with interest thereon at the statutory rate provided under the Internal
Revenue Code since the last interest payment made by NBI on July 9, 1997 under
the original agreement. Accrued interest through March 31, 2000 totaled
$219,000. In addition, the IRS notified the Company that it intends to pursue
its remedies. In order to pay the remaining amount outstanding, management
intends to generate sufficient cash through the sale of the stock of NBI
Properties; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to complete a sale of this stock and satisfy its obligations to the IRS. This
condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management believes that after the Company has sold the NBI Properties stock
and pays off its IRS debt, it will generate sufficient future cash flows from
its remaining operations to allow the Company to continue as a going concern.
(See Notes 2, 4, 8 and 13).
Construction-in-progress from continuing operations totaled $287,000 at March
31, 2000 and included $78,000 for design and engineering costs related to a
new crystal tank for the glass manufacturing facility. The Company estimates
that it will cost approximately $1.8 million to complete the outstanding
construction-in-progress, all of which are expected to be completed by the end
of fiscal 2000, except for the new crystal tank which is expected to be
completed within the next year. A majority of the estimated costs to complete
the outstanding projects is related to the new crystal tank. The new tank
will have an estimated useful life of 20 to 25 years, with major
refurbishments, costing approximately $500,000, required every seven years.
The Company is currently pursuing various financing alternatives for this
capital improvement.
The Company expects its other working capital requirements in the next fiscal
year to be met by existing working capital at March 31, 2000, internally
generated funds including interest income from the note receivable from its
CEO received in conjunction with the sale of Willowbrook Properties' land and
construction in progress, and for L.E. Smith's requirements, short-term
borrowings under an existing line of credit.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
To-date, the Company has not experienced any material problems resulting from
the year 2000 issue, nor has it experienced any problems from its suppliers or
customers related to the year 2000 issue. NBI believes that as a result of
the completed conversions to new hardware and software, the year 2000 issue
has been mitigated.
