(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all
the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements and may be subject to
year-end adjustments. The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented. The
results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of a full year.
The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of
June 30, 1997 filed as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2) ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS, AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Harmony Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware on August 5, 1991 as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Ventura Entertainment Group Ltd. ("Ventura"). In connection with its
formation and initial capitalization, Ventura contributed all of the capital
stock of Harmony Pictures, Inc. ("Harmony") and Melody Films, Inc. ("Melody")
to the Company. Harmony and Melody have been operating since 1979. As of June
30, 1995, Ventura had sold the entire interest in the Company. The Company
conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Harmony
Pictures, Inc., Melody Films, Inc., Lexington Films, Inc., Pure Film, Inc.,
The End Inc., The Beginning Inc., The Moment Inc., The End (London) Ltd.,
Curious Pictures Corporation, and Hollywood Business Solutions, Inc. Unless
the context indicates otherwise, the term "Company" includes Harmony
Holdings, Inc. and all of these subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Curious
Pictures Corporation is 99% owned, the 1% minority interest is not presented
separately as the amounts are not significant. In 1997, Children's
Broadcasting Corporation ("CBC") purchased, from other stockholders, (I)
2,188,731 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock and (ii)
outstanding options to acquire an additional 750,000 shares exercisable at
$1.50 per share and expiring a various dates through October 2001. CBC's
investment represents 33.7% of the outstanding common stock of the Company at
March 31, 1998.
The Company operates in one reportable segment, producing television
commercials, music videos and related media. The Company's services are
usually directed towards advertising agencies located in the major markets of
New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco and in
regional markets.
(3) EQUITY
On July 25, 1997, the Company re-purchased 230,769 shares (originally
issued in July 1996) of its common stock at $2.60 per share for a total
purchase price of $600,000. As a result of this transaction, a pending
lawsuit against the Company was dismissed.
(4) EARNING (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
<PAGE>
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted earning (loss)
per share is not presented when the effect is antidilutive.
(5) SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS
In January 1998, Children's Broadcasting Corporation ("CBC"), a 33.7%
shareholder of the Company, issued a note payable to the Company for $611,000
bearing an interest rate of 15% per annum. The Company provided CBC with
$650,000 in cash and retained $39,000 as a loan origination fee. The note is
unsecured and payable by CBC upon the Company's demand.
On March 10, 1998 the board of directors approved the repricing of
outstanding stock options held by all employees employed at such date. The
new exercise price of the options is $1.4375, the closing price of the
Company's common stock on that date.
(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A lawsuit was filed on March 22, 1996, (served August 12, 1996) in
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles. A wrongful
death claim has been made by the estate of Henry Gillermo Urgoiti, his wife
and three children for an accident that occurred during the filming of a
music video in August 1995. The complaint contains six causes of action,
three causes for negligence, one cause for negligent product liability, one
cause for strict liability and one cause for breach of warranty. Harmony
Holdings, Inc., has been named in all six causes of action, Harmony Pictures
Inc., The End Inc. and three of The End Inc.'s employees have been named in
one of the negligence claims. Other defendants include Southern California
Edison, Virgin Records America, Inc., Bell Helicopters and Helinet Aviation
Services. While it is too early in the discovery process to assess economic
risk, the Company's insurance broker has advised management that there is
adequate insurance to cover the amount of damages asserted in the complaint
against the Company. The probability of an unfavorable outcome and range of
possible loss is unknown. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued as
contingent liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
A cross-complaint related to the preceding matter, was filed on December
23, 1996 in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles.
The complaint was filed by Virgin Records Limited against The End, Inc. and
Southern California Edison for contractual indemnity, equitable indemnity,
comparative contribution and declaratory relief. While it is too early in the
discovery process to assess economic risk or insurance coverage, the
Company's insurance broker has advised management that there is adequate
insurance to cover the amount of damages asserted against the Company. The
probability of an unfavorable outcome and range of possible loss is unknown.
Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued as contingent liabilities in the
accompanying financial statements.
On December 22, 1997, a lawsuit entitled Directors Guild of
America-Producer Pension Plan, et al. v. Harmony Pictures Inc., Melody Films
Inc., and Velocity Films Inc., Case No. 97-8359-JMI (Manx), was filed in the
United States District Court, Central District of California, The pension and
health plans have alleged that, for the audit period covered, the defendants
have not permitted a full audit of their records and are liable for unpaid
pension and health contributions, liquidated damages, interest, audit and
attorneys' fees. The prayer of the complaint requests damages in accordance
with proof at trial and the allegations of the complaint reference audit
costs of $8,442 and interest of $34,037 however, defendants have received a
January 13, 1998, interim report which asserts defendants owe the Plans an
additional $45,158 in contributions, $20,548 in interest and $17,422 in audit
fees. Also, the Plans have requested an audit of defendant's records through
the present.
<PAGE>
The parties have filed a stipulation regarding defendant's motion for
summary judgment and plaintiff's cross motion for summary adjudication
relating to defendant's affirmative defense of accord and satisfaction, and a
hearing has been scheduled for July 6, 1998. Accordingly, at this time,
counsel for the Company is not able to estimate the likelihood of an adverse
result or, if an adverse outcome occurs, the amount of liability that may be
incurred by the Company.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Statements in this report that are forward-looking are based on current
expectations, and actual results may differ materially. Forward-looking
statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially, including, but not limited to, the
possibilities that the demand for the Company's services may decline as a
result of possible changes in general and industry specific economic
conditions and the effects of competitive pricing and such other risks and
uncertainties as are described in this report on Form 10-Q and other
documents previously filed or hereafter filed by the Company from time to
time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AS COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997
For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, contract revenues decreased by
22%, or $10,810,000 to $37,476,000 from $48,286,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997. Included in revenues for the period ended March 31, 1997
were revenues of $997,000 generated from unprofitable operations that have
since been terminated. Accordingly, revenues from comparable operations,
excluding those from ceased operations decreased by $9,813,000. The decrease
in contract revenues was primarily attributable to the loss of one director
(who left The End, Inc., on July 1, 1997) who billed in excess of $10,000,000
in contract revenues during his last year with The End, Inc. The End, Inc.
has subsequently replaced this director, but contract revenues decreased
$3,534,000 during this period. Additionally, Harmony Pictures, Inc.
terminated the services of one internal sales representative in September
1997 and did not replace him until December 1997. Contract revenues at
Harmony Pictures, Inc. decreased $6,529,000 during the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
Cost of production is directly related to revenues and includes all
direct costs incurred in connection with the production of television
commercials including film, crews, location fees and commercial directors'
fees. Cost of production for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, decreased
by 23%, or $9,142,000, to $30,116,000 from $39,258,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of
production for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, was 80% compared with
81% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and resulted in gross profit
percentages of 20% and 19%, respectively.
Selling expenses consist of sales commissions, advertising and
promotional expenses, travel and other expenses incurred in the securing of
television commercial contracts. Selling expenses for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, decreased to $1,745,000 from $2,446,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, representing a decrease of $701,000 or 29%. Overall
sales expenses decreased due to a decrease in promotions and director
speculation reels. Additionally, sales expenses at discontinued operations
accounted for $102,000 of the decrease in selling expense and sales
commissions overall decreased $365,000 due to the reduction in overall
contract revenues.
General and administrative expenses consist of overhead costs such as
office rent and expenses, executive, general and administrative payroll, and
related items. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, increased to $6,810,000 from $5,143,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, representing an increase of $1,667,000 or 32%.
Additionally, the Company recognized $550,000 of corporate reorganization
costs during the nine months ended March 31, 1998. These one-time costs were
incurred in conjunction with the reorganization of the corporate office and
the reorganization of various subsidiaries in an effort to make them more
profitable. During the nine months ended March 31,1998,
<PAGE>
there have been, to some extent, duplicate corporate expenses due to the
management functions performed in both Minnesota and Los Angeles. Certain of
the Company's new officers and directors operate from offices in Minnesota.
Some additional expense has been incurred during this transaction. Management
recently sublet the former corporate office in Los Angeles and eliminated
eight corporate staff members. Management expects to realize savings of
$500,000 or more annually once the corporate reorganization is completed. Of
the increase in general and administrative expense, $430,000 was attributable
to The End (London) Ltd., a new subsidiary in London, England, and $170,000
was due to the opening of a new San Francisco office for Curious Pictures
Corporation.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, to $526,000 from $449,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997. The change is due to the increase in depreciable assets.
Interest income decreased for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, to
$62,000 from $121,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, representing
a decrease of $59,000 or 49%, due to less cash held in short term investments
compared to the prior year. Interest expense decreased for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, to $40,000 from $97,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1997, representing a decrease of $57,000, due to a decrease in borrowings
under the line of credit.
Income tax expense was $23,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998.
The tax expense is primarily attributable to federal alternative minimum tax
and state taxes imposed by various states in which the companies conduct
business. During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's
effective income tax rate varied from the statutory federal tax rate as a
result of operating losses for which no tax benefit had been recognized due
to the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset. A full valuation
allowance has been established, as the Company cannot determine that it is
more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AS COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997
For the three months ended March 31, 1998, revenues decreased by 21%, or
$3,992,000, to $14,756,000 from $18,748,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The decrease in contract revenues was primarily attributable to the
loss of one director (who left The End, Inc., on July 1, 1997) who had billed
in excess of $10,000,000 in contract revenues during his last year with The
End, Inc. The End, Inc. has subsequently replaced this director, and contract
revenues for the quarter decreased only $105,000. Additionally, Harmony
Pictures, Inc. saw a decrease in contract revenues of $981,000.
Cost of production for the three months ended March 31, 1998, decreased
by 24%, or $3,803,000, to $11,861,000 from $15,664,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. Expressed as a percentage of revenues, cost of
production for the three months ended March 31, 1998, was 80% compared with
84% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and resulted in gross profit
percentages of 20% and 16%, respectively. The increase in the gross profit
percentage for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily due to
management's continuing efforts to reduce costs and maximize purchasing power.
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998, decreased to
$546,000 from $901,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
representing a decrease of $355,000 or 39%. The decrease was attributable to
reduced promotion expense, director speculation reels, and sales commissions
decreased $107,000.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1998, increased to $2,621,000 from $1,804,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, representing an increase of
<PAGE>
$817,000 or 45%. Additionally, the Company recognized $550,000 of corporate
reorganization costs. These costs were incurred in conjunction with the
reorganization of the corporate office and the reorganization of various
subsidiaries in an effort to make them more profitable The increase in
general and administrative costs represents an increase of approximately
$268,000 for a new subsidiary in London, England, while additional expense
was partly offset by a decrease of $69,000 from discontinued operations.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, to $176,000 from $157,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, representing an increase of $19,000. The change is due to the
increase in depreciable assets.
Interest income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1998, to
$33,000 from $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing
a decrease of $50,000 due to less cash held in short term investments
compared to the prior year. Interest expense decreased for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, to $28,000 from $69,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, representing a decrease of $41,000, due to a decrease in
borrowings under the line of credit.
No income tax expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31,
1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $148,000 which
includes no cash compared to working capital of $2,756,000
including cash of $2,355,000 at June 30, 1997. Cash used by operating
activities for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was $3,726,000. This
included an increase in accounts receivable of $333,000, an increase in
accounts payable of $144,000, and a decrease in accrued expenses of
$2,216,000 all of which are directly related to the decrease in contract
revenues for the period.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 of $1,033,000 represents $383,000 used for capital expenditures incurred
in the normal course of operations, as well as the $650,000 loan the Company
made to CBC described below.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March
31, 1998 was $2,404,390 which was provided through borrowings of $2,750,000
by the Company under its bank line of credit, and offset by the repurchase of
$600,000 of the Company's common stock. As a result of this transaction,
a pending lawsuit against the Company was dismissed.
On May 10, 1995, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 asset based
revolving line of credit with a bank. Borrowings under the credit facility
bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus .5% per annum and are secured by
a lien on the assets of the Company. The bank's prime rate at March 31, 1998
was 8.50%. The maximum outstanding balance during the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 was $2,750,000 and the weighted average interest rate was
9.00%. The credit agreement expires October 30, 1998. Borrowings are based
upon certain percentages of acceptable accounts receivables. The loan
agreement has certain financial covenants one of which is to maintain
profitability on a quarterly basis another is to maintain tangible net worth
of at least $5,000,000. The Company was not in compliance with these
covenants at March 31, 1998. The bank has agreed to take no action due to the
non-compliance.
To the extent that future revenues and related gross profits from
operations do not provide sufficient funds to offset operating costs, the
Company's present resources will decrease. The Company, as of March 31, 1998,
had entered into various employment agreements with its officers and others.
Of such amounts, $3,843,000 is for commercial television directors and
salespeople. Certain director and salespeople agreements provide for
additional compensation based on revenues and other items of the
subsidiaries. Other agreements provide for additional compensation based on
certain defined operating profits of the subsidiaries.
<PAGE>
This additional compensation is payable whether or not the Company has a
profit. Some of the television directors who are associated with the Company
receive monthly draws against the directors' compensation for production of
commercials. The monthly draws equal the minimum guaranteed compensation
payable to such directors. Although the draws are recoupable by the Company
out of compensation otherwise payable to such directors, such directors are
not obligated to repay such draws, if their fees for commercials produced do
not exceed the monthly draws that have been paid. Consequently, the Company
is obligated to provide compensation to these directors whether or not they
are directing commercials. Most of the Company's sales personnel receive
monthly draws offset by their earned commissions. During the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, the Company paid $1,390,000 in such draws to these
directors and salespeople.
The Company is currently in the process of reorganizing its management
and operations. In connection with the reorganization, effective October 1,
1997, the Company entered into a service agreement with Radio Management
Corporation ("RMC"), an affiliate of CBC that provides management services to
CBC and other companies. Pursuant to the services agreement, RMC has agreed
to provide payroll services, general accounting services, general legal
services and such other services as the parties may agree for a monthly
payment of $19,372. The services agreement may be terminated by either party
upon 60 days written notice to the other party. In addition, in connection
with the reorganization, the Company has completed relocating its corporate
offices from Los Angeles, California, to RMC's offices in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. In connection with the relocation, the Company has reduced its
workforce in Los Angeles and has subleased its corporate headquarters in Los
Angeles, California. Management believes that the foregoing restructuring
will, in the short term, negatively affect the Company's liquidity because of
the costs involved in effecting both the relocation and the reduction in the
workforce. However, the Company believes that over the longer term, the
reorganization will result in a savings of $500,000 or more on an annual
basis and more effective and efficient operations.
On January 7, 1998, the Company made a $650,000 loan to CBC (the
"Loan"). CBC is the Company's largest stockholder and beneficially owns 42.5%
of the Company. In connection with the Loan, CBC paid the Company a loan fee
of $39,000 and agreed to pay interest at a rate of 15% per annum. The Loan is
payable within 30 days after demand is made by the Company and can be repaid
at any time by CBC. CBC has notified the Company that it has entered into
three definitive purchase agreements to sell all of its owned and operated
radio stations for an aggregate of $61.7 million, which sales will generate
substantial net proceeds to permit CBC to fully repay the Loan, together with
interest, promptly after the closing of the sales. In the interim, CBC has
agreed to repay $325,000 of principal plus accrued interest by June 15, 1998.
CBC has also notified the Company that it intends to fully repay the
remaining principal and interest no later than the end of October 1998.
However, because of the delays in closing CBC's sales, the Company is unable
to depend on the repayment of the Loan to cure the Company's cash flow
requirements.
The Company has made material commitments for capital expenditures of
approximately $250,000. The Company has no firm external financing resources
other than its existing credit facility. The commercial production industry
revenues are often variable and unpredictable on a month by month basis.
Therefore, the Company's present cash balance may not be sufficient to meet
its requirements for the next six months should revenues decrease during the
period. Accordingly, in order to obtain the proceeds that the Company
expects it may need during the next six months, the Company intends to
attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity financing. The Company is
currently holding discussions with various possible financing sources and
believes that the requisite financing can be obtained. However, no assurance
can be given that the Company will, in fact, be able to obtain additional
financing or that the terms of such financing will be favorable to the
Company. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain such additional
financing, the Company may have to take steps to further reduce its operating
expense, which steps may negatively impact the Company's operations. The
Company believes the expected benefits to be derived from the current
restructuring of the Company's operations, including certain managerial
changes that have recently been made, the repayment of the CBC loan, and on
the expected level of operations during the next year, may offset a portion
of any liquidity shortage that may occur should revenues decrease during the
next six months. Should the Company continue to have a liquidity shortage
due to decreased revenue activity beyond the next six month period, CBC has
indicated to the Company that, upon the closing of the sales of its radio
stations scheduled for September 1998, it intends to focus its resources upon
the growth and development of the Company.
