Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Introduction
The financial statements of the Company and the information contained in this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations are expressed in Canadian dollars ("Cdn$"). For the convenience of
the reader, in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, certain financial
amounts are also given in U.S. dollars ("US$"), converted at the Noon Buying
Rate in effect at the end of the period to which the amount relates, or the
exchange rate on the date specified herein. The Noon Buying Rates for February
28, 1997 and February 29, 1996 were Cdn$1.3665 and Cdn$1.3601 per US$1.00,
respectively. As the Noon Buying Rate fluctuates daily, financial comparisons
between periods expressed in U.S. dollars do not accurately reflect the true
difference in the Company's financial position or results of operations between
periods. Accordingly, the comparisons between periods presented below, both in
dollar amounts and as percentages from prior periods, are expressed in Canadian
dollars only.
General
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, NTNIN, currently provides its
products and services through seven business units or subsidiaries. Of these
seven, two are considered to be the traditional core of the Company's business,
that is, directly related to multi-player interactive entertainment programs.
The two traditional core business units are the Hospitality Group and the
Corporate Events/Home Market Group. The other five units, collectively referred
to as the "Magic Lantern Group," are (i) NTNIN's wholly-owned subsidiary Magic,
which is involved in the marketing and distribution of educational video and
media resources, (ii) Magic's wholly-owned subsidiary Custom Video, which is
involved in the manufacturing of videotape copies, (iii) Custom Video's
wholly-owned subsidiary BCLC, which is involved in the marketing and fulfillment
services of educational video titles, (iv) Magic's 75%-owned subsidiary
Sonoptic, which is involved in the conversion of analog video to digital video
formats, and (v) Magic's 50%-owned subsidiary Viewer Services, which is involved
in the inbound telemarketing and fulfillment services for television
broadcasters and others.
The Company's acquisitions of Magic and Viewer Services were made effective
October 1, 1996 and October 10, 1996, respectively. Both acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases. Accordingly, the Company's results of operations for
the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter reflect the operating results of the Magic
Lantern Group, while the Company's results of operations for the 1996 Second
Fiscal Quarter do not reflect the operating results of the Magic Lantern Group.
<PAGE>
Highlights of the Three Months Ended February 28, 1997
During the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter, programming licenses for Toronto Bluejays
Trivia and Hockey Hall of Fame Trivia were renewed for the Network and expanded
to include delivery of these branded programs to America OnLine Canada. The
programming license for Players Raceworld Trivia was also renewed during the
1997 Second Fiscal Quarter.
Results of Operations
The Company's total revenues for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter were
Cdn$2,756,289 (US$2,017,043), compared to Cdn$1,723,403 (US$1,267,115) for the
1996 Second Fiscal Quarter, an increase of Cdn$1,032,886 or 59.9%.
Total revenues, excluding Magic, for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter were
Cdn$1,876,167 (US$1,372,973), compared to Cdn$1,723,403 (US$1,267,115) for the
1996 Second Fiscal Quarter, an increase of Cdn$152,764 or 8.90%. This increase
is primarily the result of increased revenues from program content services and
equipment rentals, both of which are attributable to a net increase of 69
Network locations from a year earlier; increased revenues from advertising and
sponsorship; and increased revenues from internet program content services.
These increases were offset, to some extent, by reductions in interest income
and event programming revenues.
Total cost of sales for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter was Cdn$939,746 (US$
687,703), compared to Cdn$600,629 (US$ 441,606) for the 1996 Second Fiscal
Quarter, an increase of Cdn$339,117 or 56.5%. Total cost of sales excluding
costs incurred by the Magic Lantern Group for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter
were Cdn$688,646 (US$ 503,949), compared to Cdn$600,629 (US$441,606) for the
1996 Second Fiscal Quarter, an increase of Cdn$88,017 or 14.7%. This increase is
primarily the result of increased equipment costs and commissions, both of which
are attributable to an increase in Network locations from the number of
locations during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of the Company's
total revenues, excluding revenues derived by the Magic Lantern Group, such
costs of sales increased to 36.7% for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter from 34.9%
for the 1996 Second Fiscal Quarter.
Total expenses for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter were Cdn$1,548,041
(US$1,132,851), compared to Cdn$759,573 (US$558,468) for the 1996 Second Fiscal
Quarter, an increase of Cdn$788,468 or 103.8%. Total expenses excluding expenses
incurred by the Magic Lantern Group for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter were
Cdn$900,570 (US$659,034), compared to Cdn$759,573 (US$558,468) for the 1996
Second Fiscal Quarter, an increase of Cdn$140,997 or 18.6%. This increase is
primarily the result of increased salaries, repairs and maintenance costs,
depreciation, professional expenses, and bad debts; and an increase in foreign
exchange gain. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, excluding
revenues derived by the Magic Lantern Group, such expenses increased to 48.0%
for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter from 44.1% for the 1996 Second Fiscal
Quarter.
<PAGE>
As a result of all of the above, net income for the 1997 Second Fiscal Quarter
was Cdn$173,647 (US$127,074), compared to Cdn$198,701 (US$146,093) for the 1996
Second Fiscal Quarter, a decrease of Cdn$25,054 or 12.6%.
Net income, excluding the results of the Magic Lantern Group, for the 1997
Second Fiscal Quarter was Cdn$174,309 (US$127,559), compared to Cdn$198,701
(US$146,093) for the 1996 Second Fiscal Quarter, a decrease of Cdn$24,392 or
12.3%. This decrease is primarily the result of costs associated with the
addition of staff, and slower than expected growth in revenues from program
content services during the quarter. As a percentage of the Company's total
revenues, excluding the results of the Magic Lantern Group, net income decreased
to 9.3% for the 1997 Second Quarter from 11.5% for the 1996 Second Fiscal
Quarter.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended February 28, 1997
The Company's total revenues for the six months ended February 28, 1997 (the
"1997 First Fiscal Half") were Cdn$4,978,813 (US$3,643,478), compared to
Cdn$3,085,474 (US$2,268,564) for the six months ended February 29, 1996 (the
"1996 First Fiscal Half"), an increase of Cdn$1,893,339 or 61.4%.
Total revenues, excluding Magic, for the 1997 First Fiscal Half were
Cdn$3,686,258 (US$2,697,591), compared to Cdn$3,085,474 (US$2,268,564) for the
1996 First Fiscal Half, an increase of Cdn$600,784 or 19.5%. This increase is
primarily the result of increased revenues from program content services and
equipment rentals, both of which are attributable to a net increase of 69
Network locations from a year earlier: and increased revenues from event
programming and internet program content services. These increases were offset,
to some extent, by reductions in interest income.
Total cost of sales for the 1997 First Fiscal Half was Cdn$1,683,911 (US$
1,232,280), compared to Cdn$1,127,600 (US$829,057) for the 1996 First Fiscal
Half, an increase of Cdn$556,311 or 49.3%. Total cost of sales excluding costs
incurred by the Magic Lantern Group for the 1997 First Fiscal Half were
Cdn$1,331,995 (US$974,749), compared to Cdn$1,127,600 (US$829,057) for the 1996
First Fiscal Half, an increase of Cdn$204,395 or 18.1%. This increase is
primarily the result of increased equipment costs and commissions, both of which
are attributable to an increase in Network locations from the number of
locations during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of the Company's
total revenues, excluding revenues derived by the Magic Lantern Group, such
costs of sales decreased to 36.1% for the 1997 First Fiscal Half from 36.5% for
the 1996 First Fiscal Half.
Total expenses for the 1997 First Fiscal Half were Cdn$2,740,804 (US$2,005,711),
compared to Cdn$1,367,382 (US$1,005,354) for the 1996 First Fiscal Half, an
increase of Cdn$1,373,422 or 100.4%. Total expenses excluding expenses incurred
by the Magic Lantern Group for the 1997 First Fiscal Half were Cdn$1,739,436
(US$1,272,913), compared to Cdn$1,367,382 (US$1,005,354) for the 1996 First
Fiscal Half, an increase of Cdn$372,054 or 27.2%. This increase is primarily the
result of increased salaries and foreign exchange loss. As
<PAGE>
a percentage of the Company's total revenues, excluding revenues derived by the
Magic Lantern Group, such expenses increased to 47.2% for the 1997 First Fiscal
Half from 44.3% for the 1996 First Fiscal Half.
Provision for income taxes for the 1997 First Fiscal Half were Cdn$256,908
(US$188,004), compared to Cdn$200,000 (US$147,048) for the 1996 First Fiscal
Half, an increase of Cdn$56,908 (US$41,645) or 28.5%. Provision for income
taxes, excluding provision for income taxes for Magic for the 1997 First Fiscal
Half were Cdn$271,892 (US$198,970), compared to Cdn$200,000 (US$147,048) for the
1996 First Fiscal Half, an increase of Cdn$71,892 (US$52,610) or 35.9%. This
increase is primarily the result of there being no further tax loss carry
forward provision available for the Company as there had been for the 1996 First
Fiscal Half.
As a result of all of the above, net income for the 1997 First Fiscal Half was
Cdn$324,965 (US$237,808), compared to Cdn$390,492 (US$287,105) for the 1996
First Fiscal Half, a decrease of Cdn$65,527 or 16.8%.
Net income, excluding the results of the Magic Lantern Group, for the 1997 First
Fiscal Half was Cdn$342,936 (US$250,959), compared to Cdn$390,492 (US$287,105)
for the 1996 First Fiscal Half, a decrease of Cdn$47,556 or 12.2%. This decrease
is primarily the result of costs associated with the addition of staff, and
slower than expected growth in revenues from program content services during the
quarter. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, excluding the results
of the Magic Lantern Group, net income decreased to 9.3% for the 1997 Second
Quarter from 12.7% for the 1996 First Fiscal Half.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At February 28, 1997, the Company had working capital of Cdn$4,736,158
(US$3,465,904), a decrease of Cdn$1,349,998 from working capital of
Cdn$6,086,156 (US$4,447,319) at August 31, 1996. This decrease is primarily due
to the acquisition of the Magic Lantern Communications Ltd. effective October 1,
1996.
For the 1997 First Fiscal Half, the Company had a net decrease in cash flow of
Cdn$1,059,335, compared to a net decrease of Cdn$435,304 in the 1996 First
Fiscal Half.
Cash provided by operating activities for the 1997 First Fiscal Half was
Cdn$131,664 (US$96,351) a decrease of Cdn$106,778 from cash provided by
operating activities in the 1996 First Fiscal Half. The major factors
contributing to this decrease include an increase in accounts receivable of
Cdn$571,953 due to the payment practices of the educational market in which
Magic Lantern operates and a decrease in inventory of Cdn$264,530 resulting from
the use of existing inventory for new system installations.
Cash used in investing activities in both the 1997 First Fiscal Half and 1996
First Fiscal Half was Cdn$974,765 (US$ 713,330) and CDN$429,523 (US$315,803),
respectively.
<PAGE>
Cash used in the 1997 First Fiscal Half was greater than in the comparable prior
period primarily due to the purchase of the Magic Lantern Group. The purchase
equation for the Magic Lantern Group has been refined as of February 28, 1997 to
reflect the value of certain assets previously classified as intangible.
Cash used in financing for the 1997 First Fiscal Half was Cdn$216,234
(US$158,239). This cash was used to reduce Magic Lantern Group bank loans. Cash
used in financing for the 1996 First Fiscal Half was Cdn$244,223 (US$179,563).
This cash was used to repay in full the outstanding mortgage on the Company's
land and building.
Management believes that the Company's working capital position provides the
necessary liquidity, on both a short and long term basis, for the Company's
planned activities and that the Company will not require additional external
financing for its operating activities during the Company's year ending August
31, 1997 (the "1997 Fiscal Year"). However, any changes in such plans may
require the Company to seek outside financing. No arrangements are presently in
place for outside financing should the need arise.
Inflation
The rate of inflation has had little impact on the Company's operations or
financial position during the three months ended February 28, 1997 and 1996 and
inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's
operations or financial position during the 1997 Fiscal Year.
The Company pays a number of its suppliers, including its licensor and principal
supplier, NTN Communications, Inc., in US dollars. Therefore, fluctuations in
the value of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar will have an impact on
gross profit as well as the net income of the Company. If the value of the
Canadian dollar falls against the US dollar, the cost of sales of the Company
will increase thereby reducing the Company's gross profit and net income.
Conversely, if the value of the Canadian dollar rises against the US dollar,
gross profit and net income will increase.
