Moto Photo, Inc. Salary Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits and Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits and supplemental schedule of the Moto Photo, Inc. Salary Savings Plan (the Plan) as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements and supplemental schedule are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit. The financial statements o

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well

As described in Note 2, these financial statements and supplemental schedule were prepared on a modified cash basis method of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 1999 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, on the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 2.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1999 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Moto Photo, Inc. Salary Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1999

(1) Plan Description-

The following description of the Moto Photo, Inc. Salary Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

  1. General--The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Moto Photo, Inc. (the Company) who have attained age 20 1/2 and have completed six months of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.
  2. Contributions--Participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 20 % of their compensation to the Plan. In addition, the Company, at its discretion, may make matching and/or profit sharing contributions to the Plan. Participants may direct their contribution among various investment alternatives, including 23 different pooled separate accounts and Moto Photo, Inc. common stock, that provide varying investment strategies.
  3. Participant Accounts--Each participant's account is credited with the participant's elective deferrals and an allocation of (a) the Company's discretionary matching contributions, (b) the Company's discretionary profit sharing contributions and (c) Plan earnings. Allocations of matching contributions are based on a discretionary percentage of the Participant's salary deferrals. Employer profit sharing contributions are allocated to the accounts of eligible participants in proportion to each such p ompensation. Age-adjusted compensation is determined by multiplying each participant's compensation earned during the plan year as a participant by the interest factor specified in the plan document.
  4. Vesting--Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions. Employer contributions become vested to the participant at a rate of 20 percent per year beginning with the second year, and are fully vested after six full years of continuous service. Forfeitures are used to reduce future employer contributions. At December 31, 1998 and 1999, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $20,000 and $48,000, respectively.
  5. Participant Loans--Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested balance. Such loans bear interest at the prime rate at the date of the loan plus 1.5 percent. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
  6. Payment of Benefits--Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the vested value of his or her account in either a lump sum payout, or in the form of an annuity. Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.
  7. Expenses of the Plan--The Company has elected to pay certain administrative expenses of the Plan. The amount of administrative fees paid by the Company during 1999 was minimal.

 

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

(2) Significant Accounting Policies-

  1. Basis of Accounting and Presentation--The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting. The modified cash basis reflects the accounting records on a cash basis, with an adjustment of investments to fair value. Such accounting practices are permitted by the Department of Labor; however, this practice differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and supplemental sche

    The Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 99-3 "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters" (SOP 99-3), which eliminates the requirement for a defined contribution plan to disclose participant-directed investment programs. As required by SOP 99-3, the Plan adopted SOP 99-3 for the 1999 financial statements and reclassified certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements to eliminate the participant-direc

    1. Investment Valuation--The Plan's investments in pooled separate accounts are reported at the redemption value of units of participation owned. The Company's common stock is valued at the last sales price reported on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market on the last day of the Plan year. Pooled separate accounts representing shares in mutual funds are stated at the net asset value as reported by the fund. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

    Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on a cash basis.

     

    (3) Investments-

    The following table presents individual investments that represented 5 percent or more of the fair value of assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31:

    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

    (4) Tax Status-

    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated December 19, 1996, that the Plan and related trust, as amended effective December 15, 1994, are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has subsequently been amended, however the Plan's administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

     

    (5) Related Party Transactions-

    The Plan invests in pooled separate accounts (mutual funds) which are sponsored by or managed by the Plan's asset custodian, Transamerica (TA) Insurance and Investments. The Plan also invests in the common stock of the Plan sponsor. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

     

    (6) Plan Termination-

    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA, as amended. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

     

    (7) Subsequent Event-

    Subsequent to year end, the Company announced its intentions to merge with PhotoChannel. As of the date of these financial statements, the merger had not been completed.
