Management's Analysis of Quarterly Income Statements
Operations
Gaining approvals to irradiate meat and shellfish by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), are still delayed and forces the Company to continue in
its "Development Stage." Losses for the second quarter of 1996 are
substantial. Government regulators claim that budget reductions during the
past few months have forced them to reduce staff and they have fallen behind
in their administrative functions. Because of these delays, the Company
reduced its operating expenses and has spent less money on government
relations and promotion. Because of these cuts in expenses, the Company has
reduced its losses, although revenues are still minimal.
The Company continues to irradiate poultry for several hospitals as well as
some restaurants that are located in Florida. The Company expects this
business to increase as additional distributors are offering irradiated
poultry to their food service customers. Authority was granted by the FDA
to use the standard polystyrene foam tray, but in white only. The yellow
tray that is used for poultry is still awaiting FDA approval. All necessary
data to grant this approval has been submitted by a manufacturer of
polystyrene foam trays to the agency. Availability of fresh fruits and
vegetablesduring the second quarter was limited.
Management is still working with some major supermarkets to bring irradiated
foods to their stores, once the approvals are gained for meat, shellfish and
the standard yellow poultry tray. Trade magazines in the meat and poultry
industry are still endorsing food irradiation as the best technology to
eliminate the pathogens that cause a health threat to consumers.
Revenues for the second quarter were $54,213, which is an increase of twenty
percent over the first quarter of 1996. Expenses for the quarter also
decreased. The Company's loss for the quarter was $226,005, which is $32,215
less than that sustained in the first quarter. Operating expenses for the
quarter were also reduced. The balance of the loss is accrued interest on the
debt to Nordion International, Inc. (Nordion) and depreciation, both of which
are non-cash items.
With the cooperation of Nordion, the Company has been able to meet its
obligations and with Nordion's continued financial assistance should continue
to do so until it has completed its "Development Stage" and gain the approvals
by the FDA to offer safer poultry, meat and shellfish to American consumers.
The Company's success still depends upon approvals for meat and shellfish.
Management will continue to work with groups to urge action by the FDA that
will permit Americans to enjoy safer foods. Once these clearances are granted,
Management expects to complete its "Development Stage" and become a fully
operational company with opportunities to expand with new facilities into other
areas of the United States. With the cooperation of Nordion, the Company
hopes to gain these approvals during this year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had cash on hand of $22,763 and accounts
receivable of $42,133 and negative working capital of $19,581. During the
second quarter Nordion converted the accrued interest in the amount of $85,684
and long term indebtedness owed to them by the Company in the amount of
$50,000 into 169,604 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. Also
during the quarter Nordion purchased for cash additional shares of restricted
common stock in the amount of $90,000 to enable the Company to meet its
obligations in a timely manner. The special alliance that we have with Nordion
should guarantee the Company's survival as a going entity until government
agencies permit us to irradiate meat and shellfish, and approve the standard
yellow tray for poultry so it can be offered in major retail outlets. However,
if Nordion, for any reason, should cease advancing funds to the Company or
demand payment of its accrued interest, the Company would be forced to curtail
some or all of it's operations.
