NOTE A: Earnings (loss) per Common Share
- -----------------------------------------
Earnings (loss) per common shares based on the average number of common shares
outstanding (exclusive of shares held in treasury). The number of shares
outstanding at March 31, 1996, was 1,125,156 and at March 31, 1995, was
636,889.
The Company and Mr. Daniel P. Halloran, an executive officer, director, and
shareholder, entered into an amendment to his Employment Agreement on May 6,
1996, effective February 29, 1996, by the terms of which the Company issued to
him 260,767 shares of common stock, at nine cents per share in payment of
compensation in the amount of $23,469 the Company owed and would owe to him
under his Employment Agreement. The Company and Mr. Barry E. Fast, an
executive officer, director, and shareholder, also entered into an amendment to
his Employment Agreement on May 8, 1996, effective February 29, 1996, by the
terms of which the Company issued to him 227,500 shares of common stock, at
nine cents per share, in payment of compensation in the amount of $20,475 the
Company owed and would owe to him under his Employment Agreement. On February
29, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of these
shares in order to pay to Messrs. Halloran and Fast the compensation they had
deferred since the beginning of 1995 and would defer through the expiration of
the term of their Employment Agreements on December 31, 1996, to permit the
Company to pay interest on its line of credit and to finance its operations.
The Board of Directors approved the issuance of these shares to them as of
February 29, 1996, but subject to the Company's subsequent determination of the
amount of compensation they had deferred and would defer under their Employment
Agreements through December 31, 1996, and of the number of shares to be issued
and subject to the negotiation and execution of written amendments to their
Employment Agreements. A copy of the amendments were included with the March
1996 Form 10-Q as Exhibits 10.20 and 10.21.
2. Item 2 captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" of Part I of the March 1996 Form 10-Q is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
------------------------------------
Sales in the three months ended March 31, 1996, decreased by $52,621 from
$5,974,607 in the three month period ended March 31, 1995, to $5,921,986, or
approximately 88/100 of one percent decrease. The Cost of Goods in the three
months ended March 31, 1996, declined by $72,854, from $5,026,654 in the three
month period ending March 31, 1995, to $4,953,800 in the three month period
ending March 31, 1996, or a decrease of 1.2 percent. This decrease in Cost of
Goods is a result of attempts to improve terms on which the Company purchases
its books from its suppliers and as a result of the decrease in sales.
Operating and Administrative Expenses during the period ended March 31, 1996,
increased by $32,674, from $845,282 in the three month period ending March 31,
1995, to $877,956 in the three month period ending March 31, 1996, or 3.87
percent. This is a result of increased transportation costs for inbound and
outbound freight. Interest expense during the period ending March 31, 1996,
declined by $20,838 from $50,333 in the three month period ending March 31,
1995, to $29,494 in the three month period ending March 31, 1996, or 41.40
percent. Net income during the three month period ending March 31, 1996,
increased by $8,365 from $52,388 during the three month period ending March 31,
1995, to $60,753 during the three month period ending March 31, 1996, or 15.97
percent. This is attributable to the decrease in interest expense resulting
from the new banking arrangement into which the Company entered in June 1995
permitting the Company to borrow in the aggregate up to $1,400,000. This new
banking arrangement benefits the Company in comparison to its previous banking
arrangement by lower overall interest rates. The previous banking arrangement
bore interest at the prime rate plus six percent. One of the lines of credit
under the new arrangement bears interest at the prime rate plus two and one-
half percent, secured by accounts receivable for customers located outside of
North America, and the other line of credit bears interest at the bank's
reference rate (which equaled, at June 30, 1995, nine percent) plus three and
one-half percent, secured by accounts receivable for customers located in North
America. In addition, the current banking
- 7 -
<PAGE> 8
arrangement credits cash deposited with the bank against borrowed amounts after
only a holding period of two days compared with a holding period of five days
plus transportation time from Portland, Oregon to the previous bank's location
in New York City. With the current banking arrangement there is no
transportation time, because the bank is located in Portland, Oregon and funds
are deposited the day they are received.
Sales in the nine month period ending March 31, 1996, increased by $305,749
from $17,247,205 in the nine month period ending March 31, 1995, to
$17,552,954, or 1.77 percent. The Cost of Goods in the nine month period
ending March 31, 1996, increased by $304,639 from $14,433,214 during the nine
month period ending March 31, 1995, to $14,737,853 during the nine month
period ending March 31, 1996, or 2.11 percent. Most of the change in Cost of
Goods can be explained by increased sales. There was a slight decrease in
discounts from suppliers of books and increase in discounts to customers that
account for the 28/100 of one percent increase in Cost of Goods from the nine
month period ending March 31, 1995, to March 31, 1996. Operating and
Administrative costs increased by $50,573 from $2,530,393 in the nine month
period ending March 31, 1995, to $2,580,966 in the nine month period ending
March 31, 1996, or two percent. Most of this change can be attributed to
higher transportation costs both for freight arriving from publishers,
suppliers, and distributors, and outbound freight to customers. Interest
expense decreased during the nine month period ending March 31, 1996, from
$132,611 in the nine month period ending March 31,1995, to $65,017, or 50.97
percent. The discussion concerning the changes in the Company's banking
arrangement that affect the Company's interest expenses also applies to the
nine month period ending March 31, 1996.
Overdue foreign receivables continue to run at high levels with approximately
17 percent of foreign receivables over normal terms. Foreign receivables over
normal terms represent eight percent of total receivables of the Company. As
stated in prior periods, it is expected that this will improve with the end of
many foreign libraries' fiscal years in March as well as continued collection
efforts. These efforts will include a series of actions beginning with dunning
letters to the libraries' Accounts Payable Office from the Company's Accounts
Receivable Clerk accompanied by copies of statements of all of the invoices
which are open and outstanding with the particular customer, and copies of
particular invoices which are overdue. If no action or acknowledgment of the
issues raised is received within 30 days from the date of the original dunning
letter, another dunning letter to the libraries' Accounts Payable Office is
sent this time from the Company's Controller asking for action and response
directly to the Controller. The Controller's telephone number, electronic mail
address, and the Company's facsimile number are all included to make
communication as quick and easy as possible. The Salesperson and Customer
Service Representative for the libraries involved are also notified at this
time and requested to provide background on any issues that may effect the
libraries' payments. These issues can include problems with items billed on
particular invoices, staffing problems at the library, invoicing issues related
to the preparation of the invoices by the Company, or issues related to a
customs clearance. If no action or acknowledgment of the issues raised is
received within another 30 days from the date of the last dunning letter and no
extenuating circumstances are raised by either the Salesperson or the Customer
Service Representative, another dunning letter to the libraries' Accounts
Payable Office is sent this time from the Company's President asking for action
and response directly to the President. The President's telephone number,
electronic mail address, and the Company's facsimile number are all included to
make communication as quick and easy as possible with an additional statement
that the President will be contacting the Librarian personally if no response
is received or efforts to resolve outstanding issues are not made. Since
virtually all of the Company's library customers outside of North America are
financed by governmental agencies, payment is usually received after this
process has begun. It is anticipated that this process will be successful, but
the Company is prepared to take steps not outlined above if particular
situations arise that are not resolved. This situation occurred only once in
the Company's history when a payment was made by a customer outside of North
America, but the check was non-collectable, because the bank on which the check
was drawn declared insolvency before the check cleared. The Company sought
legal help in the country where the customer was located and the issue was
resolved to the Company's satisfaction.
The Company has no plans to change its marketing and sales activities in
countries outside of North America, because of this problem. The Company looks
at all cost aspects of each of its customers and makes appropriate adjustments
in pricing for customers based on the nature of the services and other issues
related to servicing each customer. One of the aspects considered in this
process is the collectability of accounts receivable.
This report contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations,
involve
- 8 -
<PAGE> 9
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, variability
in freight costs, price pressures from both suppliers and customers, delays in
collecting account receivables (particularly, from foreign customers), trends
in the library industry toward non-book materials, cancellation of orders, and
the risk factors and assumptions specifically mentioned in this report and
those listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports. The forward-
looking statements should be considered in light of risks and uncertainties.
