ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Utopia Marketing, Inc., formerly known as Sam & Libby, Inc. (the
"Company"), was founded in October 1987, primarily for the purpose of
developing and commercializing footwear products. In 1991, the Company
completed a public offering of its common stock. On July 2, 1996, the
Company entered into an agreement with Maxwell Shoe Company Inc. ("Maxwell")
pursuant to which the Company sold its brand names, trademarks, trade names
and certain other intellectual property rights to Maxwell, and received
approximately $5.5 million.
After the sale to Maxwell, the Company's management had been primarily
involved in the investigation of new business opportunities for the Company.
During this time, management investigated possible acquisitions and
mergers and explored various start-up ventures. Since December 1998, the
Company has been developing and commercializing a line of fashion footwear
products under the Company's NAKEDFEET [TM] brand name.
Results of Operations
Six months ended July 3, 1999 and July 4, 1998
Revenues. The Company generated net revenues of $233,000 through the sale
of its new product line under the brand name NAKEDFEET[TM] during the second
quarter ended July 3, 1999. Interest income for the six month periods ended
July 3, 1999 and July 4, 1998 were $34,000 and $65,000, respectively.
Interest income was earned as a result of the Company holding its funds in a
money market account.
Gross Profit. Gross profit of $95,000 for the six months ended July 3,
1999 includes $24,000 of first-cost commissions. First-cost commissions are
generated when the Company acts as an agent for its customers. No gross
profit was generated during the six months ended July 4, 1998, because the
Company was not selling any products.
<PAGE> 6
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $1,337,000 for the six months ended July
3, 1999 as compared to $150,000 for the six months ended July 4, 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 3,
1999 consisted primarily of $332,000 in personnel costs; $300,000 for sales
representatives; $128,000 for travel and entertainment; $110,000 in product
development; $94,000 for trade shows; and $73,000 in professional fees
related to the commencement of operations. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended July 4, 1998 consisted
primarily of administrative expenses in connection with the search for
investment opportunities.
The Company has incurred a substantial increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses during 1999 as a result of the Company's commencement
of the design and development of a line of footwear. These expenses were
incurred as personnel increased, marketing and sales activities were begun
and a variety of promotional programs were undertaken in connection with the
development and marketing of the Company's products. The Company also incurs
significant research and development expenses as it develops and
commercializes its new line of footwear products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary source of liquidity for the first two quarters of
1999 was funds held in a money market account. The Company increased capital
expenditures as a result of the Board's decision to develop and commercialize
a line of footwear. The Company purchased computer equipment and software
during the first two quarters of 1999, totaling $63,241.
During the start-up phase of the Company's new operations, the Company's
cash requirements will be substantial. The Company currently anticipates
that it will require significant additional capital to fund its working
capital needs until it has positive cash flows. Until the Company raises
this additional capital, it may not be able to expand its product lines or
market its products as quickly or effectively as will be required in order
for it to be competitive. The amount of additional capital the Company will
require will depend primarily on its ability to design, develop and market
products that are accepted by the market and generate rapidly increasing
levels of sales.
The Company's failure to design, develop and market well-received
products and other events, including the costs and timing of establishing
trademarks and other proprietary rights; the Company's ability to manufacture
products at an economically feasible cost; the extent and terms of any
collaborative manufacturing, marketing or other arrangement; and changes in
<PAGE> 7
economic or competitive conditions of the Company's planned business, would
cause the Company to require greater amounts of additional capital prior to
achieving positive cash flows.
The Company may seek to raise such additional capital through loans or
the issuance of debt or equity securities. To the extent the Company raises
additional capital by issuing equity securities or obtaining borrowings
convertible into equity, ownership dilution to existing shareholders will
result, and future investors may be granted rights superior to those of
existing shareholders. There can be no assurance that any additional
capital will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.
If additional capital is not available, the Company will not be able to
complete the commercialization of any products it may have developed. As a
result, the Company may be required to discontinue its operations without
obtaining any value for its products under development, thereby eliminating
shareholder equity or the Company could be forced to relinquish rights to
some or all of its products under development in return for an amount
substantially less than the Company expended to develop such products.
