Notes to Financial Statements:
1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1995, included in the Company's Annual Report on form 10-KSB, as
amended. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all
adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
interim period presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the full year.
2. Net loss per share for the three months ended October 31, 1995 and for the
six months ended October 31, 1995 are computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding and exclude common stock equivalents as they
would be anti-dilutive.
3. Taxes payable comprise payroll deductions plus estimated penalties and
interest for late payment.
4. The Company follows the practices set out in Financial Accounting Standards
Board statement 52 in translating the operations, assets and liabilities of
entities whose accounts are denominated in foreign currencies.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
General
The Company's principal products are IBS-90, Abraxsys, OpenTrade and
TradeWizard. Abraxsys and IBS-90 are back office international banking software
products running on mid range computer systems. Abraxsys and IBS-90 have been
installed at approximately 75 locations in over 30 countries. Abraxsys is a
complete re-development of IBS-90 and is now marketed as the Company's prime
offering to banks to computerize their back office operation. Abraxsys is
written in the industry standard C language and runs on a variety of platforms
and operating systems, the most significant of which is UNIX. OpenTrade is a
software product that provides a platform for distributing real-time financial
information within the trading room environment. OpenTrade is used by 50
customers supporting 6,000 trading positions. TradeWizard is an advanced
software product for the integration of information and applications at the
users' desktop. It is installed at some 1,000 positions. The Company also
markets and licenses its ManTec line of integrated software packages for
financial institutions through an agent. The Company no longer directly
supports its ManTec product line. The Company's agent provides support to
certain clients. The ManTec product line runs on IBM and IBM-compatible
mainframe computers.
The Company's revenues consist of license fees for the Company's software
components, maintenance fees and customer service fees. In addition, the Company
earns revenues from the selling other companies' hardware and software products.
The Company accounts for revenue in conformity with Statements of Position
("SOP") 91-1 and 81-1.
In accordance with SOP 91-1, revenue from IBS-90 and Abraxsys license fees are
recognized upon delivery to the customer, provided no significant vendor
obligations remain and collection of the resulting receivable is deemed
probable.
The Company recognizes revenues from its OpenTrade and TradeWizard products
according to the percentage of completion method as costs are incurred (cost to
cost basis) in conformity with SOP 81-1. A prudent estimate is made of the
profit attributable to work completed and is recognized once the outcome of the
contract can be assessed with reasonable certainty. If the estimate indicates a
loss, the entire loss is accrued immediately. The amount by which revenue
exceeds billings to customers is shown as unbilled accounts receivable.
Maintenance revenues are recognized on an incremental basis over the period of
the contract, the unrecognized portion is recorded as deferred income. Customer
service revenues are recognized as revenue as work is performed and invoiced by
the Company. The Company's contracts with its customers typically provide for
payments to be made pursuant to specified schedules, some of which payments are
received prior to delivery to the customer. Such payments received prior to
delivery are not recognized by the Company as revenue, but are reflected as
deferred income on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Revenues
recognized in accordance with SOP-91-1 or SOP-81-1 and not yet invoiced are
recorded as accrued income on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
Cost of software products consisted of the amortization of capitalized software
products, of the cost of third party products included in the Company's
contractual deliverables and of agency commission incurred. Other costs of
software products, such as the costs of making copies from the product masters
and physical packing of the Company's software are immaterial. Costs are
allocated to maintenance and customer service revenues in proportion to their
respective revenues. Management believes that such allocations are reasonable.
Comparison of fiscal quarters
The Company has booked significant sales of its products in the three month
period ending October 31, 1995. However, the Company's lack of working capital
has constrained the Company from completing the work necessary to complete and
recognize income from these sales during the three month period ending October
31, 1995. Consequently the revenue from these sales will be recognized during
the second six months of the current fiscal year. The decrease in revenues to
$4,514,000 for the three month period ending October 31, 1995 from $4,949,000
for the three month period ending October 31, 1994 is primarily due to a backlog
of revenues being recognized in Fiscal 1995 in the then newly acquired Winter
Partners subsidiaries, in addition to the lack of working capital discussed
above.
The increase in revenues to $10,779,000 for the six month period ending October
31, 1995 from $5,766,000 for the six month period ending October 31, 1994 is
primarily due to revenues of the Winter Partners subsidiaries acquired during
the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995.
Costs of software products increased to $526,000 for the three months ended
October 31, 1995 from $93,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1994, and
to $1,219,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1995 from $99,000 for the six
months ended October 31, 1994, due to the incorporation of costs of third party
products delivered with the Company's products in the three month period ended
October 31, 1995 and the amortization of software recognized on the acquisition
of the Winter Partners subsidiaries acquired during the fiscal year ended April
30, 1995.
Cost of maintenance and customer services increased to $1,989,000 for the three
months ended October 31, 1995 from $985,000 for the three months ended October
31, 1994, and to $3,842,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1995 from
$1,340,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1994 mainly due to the addition
of the maintenance and customer service costs of the Winter Partners
subsidiaries acquired during the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995 and the
consequent increase in the size of the Company and in the number of the
Company's employees.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $5,014,000 for the three
months ended October 31, 1995 from $2,719,000 for the three months ended October
31, 1994, and to $10,151,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1995 from
$3,920,000 for the six months ended October 31, 1994, mainly due to the addition
of the selling, general and administrative costs of the Winter Partners
subsidiaries acquired during the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995 and the
consequent increase in the size of the Company and in the number of the
Company's employees.
The Company's profit after costs of revenue, consisting of total revenues minus
costs of software products, costs of maintenance and costs of customer service,
was $1,999,000 for the three month period ended October 31, 1995 compared to
$3,871,000 for the three month period ended October 31, 1994, and $5,718,000 for
the six month period ended October 31, 1995 compared to $4,327,000 for the six
month period ended October 31, 1994. This improvement is a result of the gross
contribution of the Winter Partners subsidiaries acquired during the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1995.
The Company's operating loss was $3,443,000 for the three month period ended
October 31, 1995 compared to an operating profit of $974,000 for the three month
period ended October 31, 1994 resulting from additional costs associated with
the restructuring of the Company's operations and management during the period.
This restructuring has resulted in the achievement of a reduction in annual
operating costs of $5,000,000. The Company's operating loss was $5,309,000 for
the six month period ended October 31, 1995 compared to an operating loss of
$6,813,000 for the six month period ended October 31, 1994 due to the write off,
in 1994 of acquired research and development following on the acquisition of the
Winter Partners subsidiaries.
The Company, as part of an elimination of debt, disposed of its interest in New
Paradigm Software Corporation ("NPSC") during the quarter ended October 31,
1995. Consequently, the Company recognized a profit on disposal of $1,064,000
on disposal. In the six month period ended October 31, 1994, the Company wrote
off its investment in NPSC recognizing a loss of $1,112,000.
The Company incurs expenses in British Pounds, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore
dollars and United States dollars. Similarly, revenues are invoiced in a
variety of currencies, the most significant of which are British Pounds, United
States dollars, Deutsche Marks, French Francs and Swiss Francs. The Company does
not engage in any hedging activity.
The Company is not aware of any current or expected future impact as a result of
new tax laws or the issuance of FASB statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three month period ended October 31, 1995 the Company issued stock
for a total consideration of approximately $1,793,000 used to fund working
capital requirements.
At October 31, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
approximately $10,369,000 as compared to a working capital deficiency of
$9,006,000 at April 30, 1995.
The Company expects to fund continuing operations from current revenues. It
intends, however, to the extent required to re-finance outstanding debt in
fiscal 1996, to continue to sell its securities directly to investors in private
placements and it may, in the future, attempt to arrange an offering through a
placement agent or underwriter.
Effective December 15, 1995 the Company has arranged external staged financing
totaling $8,500,000. The financing includes the issue of stock to management
and staff of the Company together with a convertible debenture with terms
leading to forced conversion on or before December 31, 1997. The Company will,
under the terms of this agreement, receive a total of $2,250,000 immediately
with the full balance due to be received in stages before April 30, 1995. The
effect of this arrangement, if it took effect as of October 31, 1995, would be
to reduce the working capital deficiency to $7,075,000 immediately and to
$1,325,000 by April 30, 1996. The Company expects, by achieving profitable
trading in the second six months of Fiscal 1996, to eliminate the working
capital deficiency by April 30, 1996.
The Company has agreed a revised repayment schedule with Digital Equipment Co.
Limited, the former owner of the Company's subsidiary MTi Trading Systems
Limited. Under the revised schedule, the Company will make monthly payments,
completing the acquisition at the end of January 1996. The Company has pledged
all the tangible and intangible assets of MTi Trading Systems Limited to Digital
Equipment Co. Limited to guarantee its performance under the associated stock
purchase agreement and loan assignment.
The Company's long-term liquidity and its ability to continue as a going concern
will ultimately depend upon the Company's ability to realize sufficient revenues
from operations.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
1. Matter involving Barrington Fludgate
On 26 July 1995, Fludgate commenced an action in the New York State Supreme
Court, New York County claiming breach of contract and a violation of New
York State Labour Law. The action claims specific damages of an aggregate
of $3,500,000 and additional unspecified damages. The Company has
interposed an answer to the complaint, which includes specific affirmative
defenses as well as a counterclaim.
The legal action in the New York State Supreme Court is in the preliminary
stages and based upon the information provided by the Company and the prior
legal action which was dismissed in the United States District Court, there
appears to be a meritorious defense to the claim of Mr Fludgate in this
action.
2. Matter involving MCI Telecommunications Corporate ("MCI")
Sublease 335 Madison Avenue
The Company's Landlord, MCI, has asserted a claim for approximately
$426,000 against the Company as a result of past due rent under its
Sublease for space occupied by MTi and/or claimed affiliated companies.
The Company and MCI have settled the matter for the sum of $300,000 payable
on an installment payment basis. The Company has paid the initial $50,000
and the balance is required to be paid over a six month period. The
Company has agreed to provide a Confession of Judgment which is being held
in escrow by the attorney for MCI. In the event of a default, MCI can
proceed to enter a judgment against the Company for the sum of $507,968
crediting the amount paid by the Company. The difference between the
settlement amount and the confession of judgment or $300,000 has not been
provided for. The Company has not made a certain payment due and has
received a notification of default from MCI.
3. Claim of Howard Schraub
Howard Schraub instituted an action against the Company in the New York
State Supreme Court, New York County for the sum of $184,000. The Company
and Schraub agreed to settle the claim and are in the process of finalizing
the settlement agreement.
4. Claim of Edelson Technology Partners, III ("Edelson")
Edelson has instituted a suit in the New York State Supreme Court, New York
County claiming the sum of Pounds 250,000 plus interest and attorneys'
fees. The basis of the suit is a promissory note issued by the Company.
The Company is contesting the action based upon a prior settlement
agreement with the Company.
5. Claim of Registration Rights for Unit Holders of the Company
In 1993 and 1994, the Company completed a Private Placement of units
consisting of one (1) share of Common Stock and three (3) Class "C"
Warrants to purchase three (3) shares of Common Stock at $1.19 per share,
subject to possible substantial exercise price reduction pursuant to the
anti-dilution provision of a certain warrant agreement. The Private
Placement terms involved registration rights to the Unit Holders which
further provided for the Company to use its best efforts to register the
shares and the additional shares underlying the Class "C" Warrants for Unit
Holders. The Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement to that
effect in April of 1994. It was compelled to withdraw the Registration
Statement in April 1995 with the understanding that it would refile a new
registration for Unit Holders within a reasonable time. No such
registration statement has been file at this date.
A number of Unit Holders have made claims against the Company, alleging
that the Company agreed to afford Unit Holders options to purchase shares
of Common Stock at a below market price as a form of compensation to Unit
Holders for losses occurring as a result of the Company's not proceeding
with the Registration of their shares. The Company has issued an offer to
Unit Holders to issue to those Unit Holders who were included in the
registration statement which was withdrawn, two shares of the Company's
common stock per unit so that Unit Holders would be compensated for any
loss sustained as a result of the registration which was withdrawn by the
Company. A number of unit holders have returned a favorable response. The
Company is still responsible to file a registration statement. The cost of
such a filing is not expensed but applied against the Additional Paid in
Capital. The Company can reasonably expect to pay $100,000 is awaiting a
response from the Unit Holders as to whether or not they will agree to the
proposed settlement.
6. MTi and IBS Ketel Ltd ("IBS") - matter pending in the New York State
Supreme Court
The Company has commenced an action against IBS in an attempt to rescind
its agreement with IBS and recover the sum of $100,000 paid to IBS. IBS is
in default and the Company is proceeding to enter a judgment. Information
to date is that IBS has discontinued operation of its business so that
collection of a judgment is doubtful.
In addition, Sam Koo, the principal executive officer of IBS has asserted a
claim for $21,607.71 for expenses.
7. Claim of Sharon F Merrill
Ms Merrill received 250,000 shares of restricted stock as a result of the
acquisition of the shares of MTi Merken Inc. in 1992. In that regard, the
Company agreed to use its best efforts to register Ms Merrill's shares
within 180 days from the acquisition date. A claim has been made that the
Company has not used its best efforts and that Ms Merrill has sustained
losses as a result of the price of the shares of MTi and resultantly Ms
Merrill has claimed a loss of $450,000. The Company's position is that it
has used its best efforts with respect of the registration of the shares
owned by Ms Merrill.
8. Rosanne Milazzo ("Milazzo")
Rosanne Milazzo acted as a consultant for the Company to assist in selling
a software product called IBS II Plus. This relationship was terminated by
MTi in August 1994. Milazzo claims breach of contract and damages of
$252,350. Milazzo has filed a law suit against the Company in the New York
State Supreme Court, New York County.
9. Napoleon Securities ("Napoleon")
Napoleon participated in a private placement and raised a claim related to
an alleged agreement under which the Company agree to repurchase the
securities. Napoleon filed suit in the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois.
The Company is not a party to any other material litigation.
