ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
In August 1996, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the
"IPO") pursuant to which the Company issued and sold 600,000 shares of its
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and 690,000
warrants (including warrants sold upon exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option) exercisable into 690,000 shares of Common Stock at a price to
the public of $5.00 per share and $.10 per warrant, which yielded to the Company
net proceeds of approximately $2 million. The exercise price of the warrants is
$5.50 per share exercisable during the four year period commencing August 13,
1996 and ending August 12, 2000.
On January 9, 1997, Messrs. Arthur Goldberg and Elie Housman, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively,
were removed from their respective offices by the Board of Directors following
disagreements between the Board of Directors and those two officers with respect
to the Company's financing efforts and investment strategies. On January 20,
1997, Messrs. Goldberg and Housman resigned from their positions as directors of
the Company.
On January 9, 1997 the Company appointed M. Albert Nissim, President for an
interim period of six months. The term was extended indefinitely by the Board
of Directors.
On February 28, 1997, the Company completed a private placement of
securities with eight investors who invested an aggregate of $4 million in the
Company in consideration for 2.2 million shares of Common Stock and $1.8 million
principal amount of convertible promissory notes of the Company (the
"Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes were converted into 1.8 million
shares of Common Stock on May 9, 1997.
During the fiscal year 1996, the Company utilized a $4 million revolving
line of credit provided by United Mizrahi Bank ("UMB") under a revolving line of
credit and security agreement between the Company and UMB, as collateral
security for its indebtedness to UMB under the UMB Agreement, the Company
granted to UMB a security interest in various assets including, but not limited
to, all promissory notes acquired by the Company with respect to any loan funded
by it with proceeds of the UMB credit line and all mortgages or other forms of
collateral securing the funding of such loans. The UMB credit line was paid in
full by the Company in February 1997. On March 31, 1997 the UMB credit line was
discontinued.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company entered into a one year credit agreement
with Bank One, Texas, N.A. ("Bank One"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Bank
One provides the Company with a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. As
collateral security for its indebtedness to Bank One under the Credit Agreement,
the Company has granted to Bank One a security interest in various assets
including, but not limited to, all promissory notes acquired by the Company with
respect to any loan funded by the Company with proceeds of the Bank One credit
line and all mortgages or other forms of collateral securing the funding of such
loans. The Bank One credit line was increased on August 25, 1997 to $35,0000,000
and on September 26, 1997 to $50,000,000.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTH PERIOD
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
REVENUES: During the six month period ended September 30, 1997 revenues
increased to $1,365,743 compared to $129,723 for the six month period ended
September 30, 1996. Such revenue was generated from the addition of 24
customers. 2,481 loans totaling $167,010,252 were funded during this period
which represented 650% and 523% increase, respectively, of the total number of
loans and fundings reported for the six months ended September 30, 1996. The
interest and fee component of such revenues reported for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 amounted to $902,257 and $463,486 respectively, compared to
$103,280 in interest and $26,443 in processing fees for the six months ended
September 30, 1996.
During the six month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company financed a
total of 2,481 loans totaling $167,010,252 in the weighted average principal
amounts of $67,316 for an average duration of 26 days per borrowing, which
amounts include 2,150 loans funded through bank borrowings aggregating
$150,011,353 in weighted average principal amounts of $69,773. During the six
month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company financed a total of 277 loans
totaling $22,348,554, in the weighted average principal amount of $80,681 for an
average duration of 26 days per borrowing. Such increase for the six month
period ended September 30, 1997 in loan activity was due to the addition of the
Bank One Credit Facility, and a substantial increase in the Company's customer
base.
DIRECT COSTS: The Company's direct costs consist of the interest and other
charges which it must pay to its revolving credit line providers and the
interest which it paid to the lenders who had provided bridge financing to the
Company in connection with the initial public offering of securities which the
Company completed in August 1996. During the six month period ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, the Company's interest expense and other bank charges paid to
revolving line of credit providers amounted to $676,937 and $120,887,
respectively. The increase in interest expense and bank fees was due to the
increase in loan funding operations and the use of the Company's bank credit
facility.
Interest expense on the bridge financing for the six month period ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997 amounted to $4,885 and -0- respectively and debt
discount amortization of $37,500 and -0-, respectively. Upon the closing of the
public offering the Bridge Financing obligation of $128,356 (which includes
$28,356 in accrued interest) was retired in full.
OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased from $218,379 for the six month
period ended September 30,1996 to $540,663 for the six month period ended
September 30, 1997. Operating expenses included $76,670 of salaries and benefits
paid to executives, temporary and other staff, and $50,650 of depreciation and
amortization, the primary component of which is $46,156 attributable to the
Company's Collateral Tracking System ("CTS"),for the six months ended September
30, 1996 compared to $235,243 of salaries and benefits to executives, temporary
and other staff, and $59,325 in depreciation and amortization expense, the
primary component of which is $47,421 attributable to the CTS for the six month
period ended September 30, 1997. Accounting and legal fees amounted to $26,196
compared to $50,646 for the six month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The increase in operating expenses is due to the expanded
operations of the Company
<PAGE>
during the six month period ended September 30, 1997, including the addition of
staff, advertising and the normal costs associated with expansion.
It is anticipated that aggregate operating expenses will increase as staff and
office space are increased to manage the greater number of mortgage warehouse
loan transactions that management believes the Company will be processing as a
result of the recent increase of credit lines available to the Company.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 NET LOSS VERSUS SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 NET INCOME: During the
six month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company incurred a net loss of
$246,369. Such loss was primarily due to the Company's inability during this
period, to attract additional warehouse lines of credit and attract additional
customer which it required in order to operate profitably.
During the six month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company had net income
of $189,243. Such income was a direct result of the addition of the Bank One
warehouse credit facility and the increase in its' customer base. The
combination of these two factors in conjunction with revised pricing allowed
the Company to generate revenues to show a profit for the period.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATIONS: The Company generated a negative cash flow from
operations of approximately $68,059 for the six month period ended September 30,
1996. The negative cash flow was generated primarily from the net loss from
operations of $246,369, an increase in prepaid expenses and a decrease in
accounts payable. For the six month period ended September 30, 1997 the Company
generated a negative cash flow of approximately $39,830,992. Such negative cash
flow from operations was generated primarily by an increase in mortgage loans
receivable of $39,928,013.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. As of March 31, 1997, Bank One made available
to the Company a $25 million revolving line of credit. The Bank One revolving
credit line was increased to $35,000,000 on August 25,1997 and to $50,000,000 on
September 26,1997. The Company's primary sources of capital which it employs in
its warehouse lending operations are borrowings under its Bank One revolving
line of credit and its net equity capital funds of approximately $5.2 million
(after giving effect to $4 million of funds received by the Company in February
1997 as proceeds of the Private Placement). Management believes that such
capital enables the Company to maintain its customer base and thereby generate
sufficient revenue that allows it to maintain liquidity and generate positive
cash flow. Management anticipates that its borrowing base will increase, which
will enable the Company to expand its customer base and generate increased
revenue. Although management believes that it will obtain additional credit
lines, expand its customer base and thereby generate higher revenues. No
assurances can be given that the Company will be able to accomplish these goals.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS: As of September 30,1997, Pioneer had
available, in aggregate, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.8
million. As a result of changes in common stock ownership , the Company is
subject to annual limitations pertaining to the use of such operating loss
carryforwards. The Company expects that the amount of net operating loss
carryforwards which may be utilized in any future period will be limited to an
amount not to exceed approximately $100,000 per year. Management believes that
the losses that it has incurred since the 1994 merger of Pioneer Commercial
Funding Corp, with PCF Acquisition Corp. are not subject to these limitations.
The Company's ability to use such net operating loss carryforwards is dependent
upon its ability to generate taxable income in the future.
<PAGE>
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTH PERIOD
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
REVENUES: During the three month period ended September 30, 1997 revenues
increased to $949,864 compared to $56,488 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996. Such revenue was generated from funding 1,754 loans
totaling $112,328,965 during this period which represented 1000% and 834%
increase, respectively, of the total number of loans and fundings reported for
the three months ended September 30, 1996. The interest and fee component of
such revenues reported for the three months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to
$614,901 and $334,963 respectively, compared to $42,713 in interest and $13,775
in fees for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
During the three month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company financed a
total of 1,754 loans totaling $112,328,965 in the weighted average principal
amounts of $64,042 for an average duration of 27 days per borrowing, which
amounts include 1,606 loans funded through bank borrowings aggregating
$104,153,352 in weighted average principal amounts of $64,853. During the three
month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company financed a total of 159 loans
totaling $12,021,271, in the weighted average principal amount of $75,805 for an
average duration of 15 days per borrowing, which amounts include 100 loans
funded through bank borrowings aggregating $8,408,727 in weighted average
principal amounts of $77,066. Such increase for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 in loan activity was due to the addition of the Bank One
Credit Facility, and a substantial increase in the Company's customer base.
DIRECT COSTS: The Company's direct costs consist of the interest and other
charges which it must pay to its revolving credit line providers and the
interest which it paid to the lenders who had provided bridge financing to the
Company in connection with the initial public offering of securities which the
Company completed in August 1996. During the three month period ended September
30, 1996 and 1997, the Company's interest expense and other bank charges paid to
revolving line of credit providers amounted to $47,871 and $492,478,
respectively. The increase in interest expense and bank fees was due to the
increase in loan funding operations and the use of the Company's bank credit
facility.
Interest expense on the bridge financing for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997 amounted to $1,534 and -0- respectively and debt
discount amortization of $23,821 and -0-, respectively.
Upon the closing of the public offering the Bridge Financing obligation of
$128,356 (which includes $28,356 in accrued interest) was retired in full.
OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased from $121,913 for the three
month period ended September 30,1996 to $327,782 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997. Operating expenses included $46,653 of salaries and
benefits paid to executives, temporary and other staff, and $25,325 of
depreciation and amortization, the primary component of which is $23,078
attributable to the CTS for the three month period ended September 30, 1996,
compared to $136,816 of salaries and benefits to executives, temporary and other
staff, and $29,662 in depreciation and amortization expense, the primary
component of which is $23,765 attributable to the CTS for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997. Accounting and legal fees amounted to $13,140 compared
to $23,547 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The increase
<PAGE>
in operating expenses is due to the expanded operations of the Company during
the three month period ended September 30, 1997, including the addition of
staff, advertising and the normal costs associated with expansion.
It is anticipated that aggregate operating expenses will increase as staff and
office space are increased to manage the greater number of mortgage warehouse
loan transactions that management believes the Company will be processing as a
result of the recent increase of credit lines available to the Company.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 NET LOSS VERSUS SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 NET INCOME: During the
three month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company incurred a net loss of
$102,518. Such loss was primarily due to the Company's inability during this
period, to attract additional warehouse lines of credit and attract additional
customers which it required in order to operate profitably.
During the three month period ended September 30, 1997, the Company had net
income of $165,548. Such income was a direct result of the addition of the Bank
One warehouse credit facility and the increase in its' customer base. The
combination of these two factors in conjunction with revised pricing allowed
the Company to generate revenues to show a profit for the period.
