STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
The consolidated financial statements of Strategic Solutions Group,
Inc., formerly Pacific Animated Imaging Corporation, (the "Company") as of and
for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited; however,
in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation of such financial
information. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
2. STOCK SPLIT
On January 30, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company voted a
three-for-two split of the Company's common stock. The split was approved by the
shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 22, 1997.
However, the Board of Directors exercised its discretionary authority and voted
affirmatively with respect to a shareholder proposal to postpone the effective
date of the three-for-two stock split until such time deemed appropriate by the
Board of Directors. Neither the par value of the stock nor the number of
authorized shares will be affected by the split. Had the additional shares
resulting from the proposed stock split been outstanding during the six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, net loss per share would have been as
follows: 1997, $0.38 and 1996, $0.62. Financial information contained elsewhere
in this report has not been adjusted to reflect the impact of the proposed
common stock split.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which specifies the computation,
presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share. SFAS 128 is
effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS 128 will not have a material
effect on earnings per share.
4. COMMITMENTS
The Company had a subcontract with the Data Technologies Division of
TRW, Inc. ("TRW") to provide training services to TRW in support of its contract
with the State of California for the development and implementation of a
management information system for the state's correctional facilities. Through
1996, the Company had completed the design phase and had begun the development
of the training program. However, effective February 21, 1997, TRW's prime
contract with the State of California was terminated. Accordingly, no more work
will be performed by the Company with respect to this subcontract. During the
years 1996 and 1995, the Company had recognized revenue of approximately
$134,000 and $118,000, respectively.
On March 20, 1997, the Company entered into a financial consulting
agreement ("consulting agreement") with First Cambridge Securities Corporation
("First Cambridge"). First Cambridge is required to review materials provided by
the Company, perform financial consulting services, and advise the Company.
First Cambridge is required to provide at least 50 hours of service per month on
a yearly average. The terms of the agreement include that First Cambridge will
receive 100,000 stock options at
6
<PAGE>
an exercise price of $2.00 per share. First Cambridge vests immediately in the
100,000 options and will have an exercise period of six (6) months. First
Cambridge exercised their options on March 28, 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the
Company had a deferred asset of approximately $1.1 million arising from this
transaction. The consulting agreement is for the five year period January 1,
1998 - December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company will be recognizing an
expense of approximately $1.1 million, using the straight-line method over the
term of the consulting agreement, or approximately $22,000 per month, beginning
January 1, 1998. The consulting agreement permits the assignment by First
Cambridge of its obligation thereunder. First Cambridge has proposed to assign
its obligation to another party and the Company has accepted the assignment.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The Company's revenue is comprised of service fees, product sales, and
royalties. Service fees are for systems integration services provided by U.S.
Technologies, Inc. ("UST"), the Company's subsidiary acquired in July 1996, and
for the development of custom multimedia software. Product sales are for
software and hardware products primarily sold by UST. Royalties are paid to the
Company by customers who resell copies of software developed by the Company for
such customers.
Total revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 were
$1,758,402 as compared to $154,854 for the same period of 1996, an increase of
approximately $1.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the
inclusion of UST revenues of approximately $1.4 million, as well as an increase
in sales of the Company's custom software products of approximately $188,000.
The net loss and net loss per share were $466,286 and $.27 per share,
respectively, for the three month period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to a
net loss and net loss per share of $587,433 and $0.40 per share, respectively,
for the same period of the prior year.
Total revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 were
$3,496,131 as compared to $401,825 for the same period of 1996, an increase of
approximately $3.0 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the
inclusion of UST revenues of approximately $2.9 million, as well as an increase
in sales of the Company's custom software products of approximately $228,000.
The net loss and net loss per share were $955,296 and $0.58 per share,
respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to a net
loss and net loss per share of $1,349,636 and $0.93 per share, respectively, for
the same period of the prior year.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, revenues from
services fees for systems integration and software development services provided
by UST were $578,045 and $985,535, respectively, as compared to $0 in the same
periods of the prior year. UST was acquired by the Company in July 1996.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, revenue from
custom multimedia software development services was $315,415 and $581,304,
respectively, as compared to $127,088 and $352,712, respectively, for the same
periods of the prior year, increases of approximately $188,000 and $228,000,
respectively. The increases were due to several new contracts which started
during the first quarter of 1997.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, revenue from
sales of products was $854,002 and $1,909,005, respectively, as compared to $130
and $15,366, respectively, in the same periods of the prior year, increases of
approximately $854,000 and $1,894,000, respectively. All of the revenue from
sales of products for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997
represents sales of computer hardware and software products by UST, including
the sale of IBM AS/400 and RS/6000
7
<PAGE>
midrange computers under UST's Industry Remarketer Agreement with IBM. UST sells
computer hardware and software products as part of their systems integration
services. However, effective June 30, 1997, UST chose to no longer sell the IBM
AS/400 and RS/6000 midrange computers due to gross margins being lower than
anticipated. Accordingly, revenues from product sales are expected to decrease
in future periods. Sales of the IBM midrange computers accounted for
approximately 70% of the revenue from product sales through June 30, 1997.
However, UST will continue to sell miscellaneous computer hardware and software
items as part of their systems integration business. The approximately $15,000
in revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 represents sales of two
consumer off-the-shelf products which the Company began marketing during the
last quarter of 1995 when it initiated test market mailing programs for certain
products. Both mailings generated low response rates; accordingly, the Company
does not plan to perform any additional mailings for these products.
The Company has entered into agreements that allow certain customers to
resell copies of the Company's software products in exchange for royalty
payments. Royalties were $10,940 and $20,287, respectively, during the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $27,636 and $33,747,
respectively, for the same periods of the prior year, decreases of approximately
$17,000 and $13,000, respectively, or 60% and 40%, respectively. The Company
generally expects royalty revenue to decrease due to the aging shelf life of
products for which the Company currently receives royalties. However, the
Company continually explores additional marketing and development partners to
increase revenues generated from royalty arrangements.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, total
operating expenses were $2,229,927 and $4,472,487, respectively, as compared to
$782,087 and $1,833,506, respectively, in the same periods of the prior year,
increases of approximately $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The
operations of UST, acquired by the Company in July 1996, primarily accounted for
the increases. In addition, the six month period ended June 30, 1996 included
the write-off of purchased research and development in connection with the
acquisition of Forsight, which totaled approximately $289,000.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, the cost of
service fees for systems integration services provided by UST were approximately
$345,000 and $546,000, respectively, resulting in gross margins of approximately
40% and 45%, respectively.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, the cost of
service fees for custom multimedia software were approximately $169,000 and
$380,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $217,000 and $480,000,
respectively, for the same periods of the prior year. The gross margins for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 were approximately 46% and 35%,
respectively, as compared to gross margins of (71%) and (36%), respectively, for
the same periods of 1996. The improvement in gross margin is primarily due to
the consolidation of the multimedia related operations into one location. The
consolidation of the Redmond, Washington office was completed by December 31,
1996.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, the cost of
product sales was approximately $741,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, as
compared to approximately $38 and $5,591, respectively, for the same periods of
the prior year. The gross margins for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1997 were approximately 13% and 12%, respectively. All of the cost of
product sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 are from
the sale of products by UST and is expected to decrease in future periods due to
the discontinuance by UST of sales of IBM AS/400 and RS/6000 midrange computers.
All of the costs for the prior year are the costs associated with the consumer
off-the-shelf marketing initiative discussed above.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, research and
development expenses were approximately $59,000 and $132,000, respectively, as
compared to approximately $83,000 and $124,000, respectively, for same periods
of the prior year. Research and development expenses include improvement on
existing tools and applications and development of software tools to be sold.
8
<PAGE>
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately $916,000 and $1.7
million, respectively, as compared to approximately $482,000 and $935,000,
respectively, in the same periods of the prior year, increases of approximately
$434,000 and $796,000, respectively. The increases are primarily due to the
addition of the UST operations.
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, total other
income (expense) decreased by approximately $35,000 and $61,000, respectively,
from the same periods of the prior year due to a decrease in the amount of funds
available for investment, as well as the addition of interest expense incurred
on UST's line-of-credit and bank note.
Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Report of Independent Accountants on the 1996 consolidated financial
statements of the Company includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the
recurring losses from operations and the existing cash resources may be
insufficient to fund planned operations and that these conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company incurred a net loss of $3,823,621 for the year ended December 31,
1996, and as of December 31, 1996 had an accumulated deficit of $10,665,959. For
the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred a net loss of
$955,296, an improvement from the net loss of $1,349,636 for the same period of
the prior year. As discussed under Strategy to Achieve Profitable Operations
below, the Company has implemented certain actions to address the losses and
liquidity matters. However, there can be no assurance that such actions will
generate sufficient cash flow to ensure the continued existence of the Company;
or that additional financing will be available from any sources at terms and
conditions suitable to the Company.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company used cash of
approximately $1,444,000 in operations. In addition to the net loss, the Company
experienced increases in accounts receivable. Net cash of approximately $417,000
was provided by investing activities primarily from proceeds received at
maturity of U.S. government securities, offset by approximately $57,000 used for
the purchase of equipment. Net cash of approximately $975,000 was provided by
the exercise of common stock options and warrants, offset by approximately
$52,000 used to make payments on UST's obligations to a bank.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company used cash of
approximately $1,018,000 in operations. Net cash of approximately $718,000 was
used for investing activities for the purchase of equipment, U.S. government
securities, and Forsight, Inc. Net cash of approximately $200,000 was provided
by the exercise of common stock options and warrants
Working capital of approximately $797,000 at June 30 1997, together with
funds to be generated from investment income and future sales of services and
products are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash
needs for the remainder of 1997. Included in current liabilities at June 30,
1997 is UST's line of credit to a bank for which a balloon payment of
approximately $280,000 is due on August 18, 1997. The Company is currently
negotiating with the bank to extend the repayment of the required balloon
payment. Management recognizes that the Company may require additional financing
until such time that service fees and product sales are of sufficient volume to
generate positive cash flows from operations. Although the Company may seek
financing from placements of equity or debt securities, there can be no
assurances that such financing will be available, or if available, will be under
terms and conditions suitable to the Company.

<PAGE>
Strategy to Achieve Profitable Operations
The Company's strategy to increase revenue is to utilize its wide range
of computer systems integration, support services, and software development
capabilities to provide high-performance value-added integrated computer
services to mid- to large-sized service organizations, manufacturers and other
companies located in the United States. Custom multimedia software and software
applications developed for use in conjunction with Lotus Notes(R)/Domino(TM) are
expected to be important components of the services provided by the Company to
such customers. Management believes that the Company's ability to provide all of
the services required in connection with design, installation and support of
computer systems will enhance its ability to effectively market its custom
software development services, including intranet and Internet services, to
customers that prefer to purchase an integrated set of products and services
from a single vendor, and that the Company's expertise in developing such
software will in turn enhance the Company's ability to market its computer
systems integration and support services. In addition, the Company believes that
it can increase revenue by using its proprietary products and software
development skills to produce generic versions of its custom software products
for sale to companies that do not require or cannot afford complete customized
services. In addition, the Company intends to increase revenues by establishing
ongoing arrangements with larger companies that need to integrate custom
multimedia software with work group computing systems.
During 1996, the Company consummated two acquisitions in order to expand
its areas of expertise and broaden its base of customers for custom multimedia
software development services. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company
develops software applications used in conjunction with Lotus
Notes(R)/Domino(TM), markets systems integration and support services, and
provides interactive multimedia software development services using
computer-based technology, including intranet and Internet services. The Company
believes that marketing custom multimedia services to this broadened customer
base and marketing its acquired expertise to the multimedia customers will
facilitate the growth of its business. In addition, the Company intends to
pursue the acquisition of companies in the computer systems integration and
related businesses, as well as other acquisitions, strategic alliances and joint
ventures that can provide the Company with additional complementary capabilities
or further broaden its base of customers requiring the products and services
currently provided. Management believes that in the future, the percentage of
the Company's revenues attributable to the development of custom multimedia
software will decrease and the percentage attributable to the sale of systems
integration and related support services will increase as a result of this
strategy.
Management believes that its strategy for increasing revenues combined
with the impact of the consolidation of the multimedia related operations will
enhance the Company's probability of achieving profitable operations during
1998. However, no assurance can be given that these measures, even if
successful, will ensure the continued existence of the Company. Management's
estimates are based upon information currently available and may not necessarily
