ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 1998 included herein this
10-Q Report.
GENERAL
The Company, through its subsidiary Regent Electronics Corp., designs,
engineers, develops, provides and markets Internet related electronics
products and services to electronics manufactures, commercial cable TV
networks, hotels, as well as general individual customers. Using its Internet
research and development capabilities, including the TeleWeb broadcasting
system and WonderTV set-top boxes.
The Company has primarily positioned itself as a developer and provider of
cable TV-based Internet access related consumer electronics products and
services, including hardware and software. The Company also licenses its
technologies to electronics manufacturers, commercial cable TV networks or
contracts to manufacturers for production.
The Company's products include the TeleWeb System and WonderTV set-top boxes.
The TeleWeb system is a WWW broadcasting system that sends Internet contents
and selected commercial information through the existing cable TV network
subscribers. WonderTV set-top box A9000 can be served either as a terminal on
TeleWeb systems, or worked by itself as an Internet access device using a
telephone line.
On February 12, 1999, the Company announced that it had signed agreements
to acquire US Securities & Futures Corp. ("USSF") and Professional Market
Brokerage, Inc. ("PMB"). The acquisitions of USSF and PMB are an important
part of the Company's strategy to integrate the Internet solutions with the
financial industry, and become an Internet-Wall Street company that combines
the Company's own set top box - WonderTV A9000 and the TeleWeb System with
online trading services. See "SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT" below for detail.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES For the quarter ended December 31, 1998 (the second quarter of
the Company's 1999 fiscal year), the Company's revenue from sales and royalty
fees increased $5.75 million, or 719%, to $6.55 million from $800,000 in the
second quarter of the fiscal 1998. The increase in revenue was mostly due to
the sale of chipsets, parts and accessories. On a year to date basis, revenue
increased 398% from the prior year to $8.97 million.
Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, however, decreased to
$521,785 from $800,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year. This was
due to the facts that the share of royalty fee earned in total revenue
decreased and the Company reduced its sale price in order to expand its
market share.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of general and administrative
expenses, such as travel, selling, communications, employee benefits,
management, administrative and office rents. For the quarter ended
December 31, 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$424,000, or 38%, to $703,498 from $1.12 million for the second fiscal
quarter of 1998. This decrease was primarily due to the reduction of
consulting expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT For the quarter ended December 31, 1998, research
and development expenses increased 130% to $483,995, compared with $210,105
for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. For the six months ended December 31,
1998, the R&D expense of the Company was up 290% over the prior year. The big
increase in research and development expenses reflects the Company's continuing
commitment to the research and development of its Internet-related products
and services.
NET INCOME (LOSS) Even though the Company's operating expenses for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998 was $150,000 lower than its comparable quarter
of fiscal 1998, the Company's net loss from operations increased to $586,728
from $499,154 because of cost of revenue. On a year to date basis, net income
increased by 35% to $536,198 of loss, compared to $828,734 of loss for the
same period of the prior year. For the first half of fiscal 1999, the diluted
earning per shares was $0.01 of loss compared to $0.02 of loss in fiscal 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1998, the Company's liquid assets, consisting of cash and
cash equivalents, total $894,811 compared to $3.19 million at June 30, 1998.
Net cash used by operating activities was $3.15 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1999 compared with $22,863 of net cash provided by operating
activities during the first six months of fiscal 1998. This decrease was
largely due to the increases in accounts receivable and notes receivable.
The Company's investing activities provided $175,621 of cash for the six
months ended December 31, 1998, primarily due to gain of $100,000 on sale of
investment. Cash flow from financing activities was $675,000 in the first
six months of fiscal 1999 as compared to $594,000 provided by financing
activities for the first six months of fiscal 1998. This increase in financing
activities was primarily due to issuing the Company's common stock. As of
December 31, 1998 the Company had 47,499,306 shares of Common Stock with par
value $.001 per share and 4,300 shares of Class A Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding.
The Company currently believes that the anticipated funds from operations and
the existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its cash
requirements for at least the next twelve months. Although the Company's
operating activities may generate cash to cover its operating costs, the
Company's continuing operating and investing activities may require the
Company to obtain additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance
that any necessary additional financing will be available to the Company on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
The Company has no long-term debt and has trade credits available from many
corporations with each credit line up to $50,000, net 30 days. The Company
may raise its capital in the future either from the secondary offerings or
from private placements.
SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT
On February 12, 1999, the Company announced that it had signed agreements to
acquire US Securities & Futures Corp. ("USSF") of New York, NY and
Professional Market Brokerage, Inc. (PMB) of Chicago, IL. Upon completion of
the acquisitions, the Registrant will own 100% of both USSF and PMB.
USSF is a full service brokerage firm with its headquarters on Wall Street
in New York, NY. With over 15 branches worldwide, USSF offers online
securities trading service and other financial and brokerage services to
individuals and institutions all around the world (www.ussecurities.com).
USSF is registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), and is a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), Securities Investor
Protection Corporation (SIPC), and National Futures Association (NFA).
PMB is a Chicago-based financial trading firm that provides online trading
service from its advanced Internet-based system (www.pmbinc.com) to self-
directed, broker-assisted, individuals, money managers, commodity trading
advisers, or introducing brokers. PMB is registered with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and is a
member of the National Futures Association (NFA).
The acquisitions of USSF and PMB are an important part of the Company's
strategy to integrate the Internet solutions with the financial industry, and
become an Internet-Wall Street company that combines the Company's own set-top
box - WonderTV A9000 and the TeleWeb System with online financial trading
services. The acquisitions allow the Company to: (1) provide its own user-end
terminals to its financial trading customers; (2) constantly upgrade its
hardware and software based on market conditions and customer needs; and (3)
minimize its dependence on other high tech companies to maintain its online
trading systems, consequently, lower the probability of trading system
breakdown. By combining the Company's technology of new Internet terminal
unit, WonderTV A9000, with USSF's extensive customer base and PMB's innovative
online trading system, the Company is able to offer investors in stock and
futures market a powerful, simple online trading solutions.
YEAR 2000
The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its operations will not be
adversely impacted by "Year 2000" issue, which has arisen because many
existing computer programs and chip-based embedded technology systems may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations which may cause
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal
business activities.
The Company has assembled a team of internal staff to oversee the matter and
is underway in completing its Year 2000 assessment. Internally, the Company
has upgraded its business system to address the Year 2000 issue. Externally,
the Company has surveyed and will continue to survey its suppliers, financial
institutions, and other organizations to ensure that those parties have
appropriate plans to be "Year 2000 Compliant." Costs incurred to date and
estimated costs to complete the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts are not
expected to be material.
The Company has substantially completed many procedures to test and replace
existing computer systems. Additionally, the Company continues to assess and
test newly engaged suppliers and their products for Year 2000 compliance as
part of the Company's normal business operations. The Company will continue
to monitor its Year 2000 Compliance program, address any material issues, and
develop contingency plan as it deems appropriate.
The failure to identify or correct a material Year 2000 problem could result
in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain business activities or
operations such as the Company's ability to service its customers. Such
failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of
operations, liquidity, and financial condition. The Company's Year 2000
assessment process is expected to significantly reduce the Company's level of
uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular, about the Year
2000 compliance and readiness of its material suppliers and customers.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities", was issued. SFAS No. 133
requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or
liabilities at fair value. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company expects the impact of
SFAS 133 on its future earnings and financial position are not material (see
Item. 3 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk").
In April 1998, Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities", was issued. This SOP provides guidance on the financial
reporting of start-up and organization costs and requires that these costs be
expensed as incurred. The provisions of SOP 98-5 are effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, although early
adoption is allowed. The adoption of SOP 98-5 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company will adopt
the provisions of this SOP on July 1, 1999.
In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", were
issued. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income
and its components with the same prominence as other financial statements.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 on October 1, 1998; However, the Company does
not have any items of comprehensive income in the period presented. SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments
in annual and interim financial statements, although this statement need not
be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of its
application. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt its requirements in connection with
its annual reporting for the year ending June 30, 1999.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial
instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believes that its exposure
to market risk associated with other financial instruments are not material.
