NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION:Starship Cruise Line, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware Corporation. The Company operates a dinner cruise vessel on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, primarily serving that region's tourism market. Operations commenced in December, 1999.
The Company is highly leveraged and has limited operating history. Initial operations have not been profitable and the Company is in a deficit working capital position. The Company's management believes the vessel will be able to generate positive cash flow by the end of its first year of operations, but there is no assurance that this will occur. However, one of the Company's principal stockholders has committed to provide the funding, if necessary, to cover any working capital deficiencies during initial operations (at a minimum through March 31,2001).
This is the first such dinner cruise vessel operating on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and while the Company's management believes demand will be sufficient, there is no assurance that market demand will be able to support the vessel.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventory, which is recorded at the lower of actual cost or market, represents amounts on hand related to food and beverages used in the dinner cruise operation as well as other miscellaneous items held for sale through the Company's gift shop.
The Company's property and equipment consists primarily of the cruise vessel, related leasehold improvements and office equipment for shore side facilities. These assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective classes of depreciable assets, net of salvage value (if any). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Major expenditures for renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of existing assets and interest incurred during vessel construction are capitalized.
Unearned revenue represents amounts received in advance for future cruises and for the sale of gift certificates outstanding as of the financial statement date.
There are no significant temporary differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company has incurred a cumulative loss from operations since inception. Therefore, a full valuation allowance was provided against the net deferred tax asset primarily resulting from the Company's net operating loss (NOL ) carry forwards.
Cruise revenues are recognized at the time of voyage and gift shop revenues are recognized upon the sale of goods. In the case of cruises not taken, the nonrefundable portion of amounts received are recognized as revenue on the scheduled date of the cruise, with any additional amount on deposit relieved from unearned revenues and refunded to the customer.
All expenses related to entering the dinner cruise business including marketing expenses were expensed as incurred.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Officers and directors are compensated based on actual time and expenses devoted to the Company's business. During the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 consulting fees paid to Directors were $6,000 and $1,500 respectively .
4. NOTES PAYABLE:
The Company financed the construction of the cruise vessel with bank financing and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock (see Note 5).
At June 30, 2000 the Company had in place term financing in the amount of $6,660,000 for a five year period with payments based on a ten year amortization schedule with the remaining unpaid balance due after five years. The payments are due quarterly beginning June 30, 2000 (interest only at March 31, 2000) with interest fixed at a rate of 8.05%. The Company also has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit (used for working capital purposes) with the bank. As of June 30, 2000 the amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit was $960,000. Interest on the revolving line of credit is based upon the Lender's floating prime rate (9.00% at June 30, 2000). The combined term and revolving financing arrangement is secured by a lien on the cruise vessel, a limited guarantee from the vendor who supplied the vessel's engines and the personal guarantee of Mr. Burt H. Keenan, a principal stockholder and Chairman of the Company.
The term financing is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Company has obtained a waiver from its lender with respect to compliance with the financial covenants extending until April 2001. The financial covenants, which become effective subsequent to March 31, 2001, include minimum cash flow coverage of debt payments of 1.25 to 1 and minimum net worth, including preferred stock, of $1,000,000.
While the financial covenants discussed above do not become effective until after March 31, 2001, as discussed in Note 1, the Company's initial operations have not been profitable, and the Company is in a deficit working capital position as of June 30, 2000. Should such losses continue, the Company's operations alone will not provide adequate performance to meet the financial covenants under the Company's debt agreement once effective, subsequent to March 31, 2001. Management is currently developing a plan to amend its debt agreement to enable the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they become due from funds generated by operations and maintain compliance under the terms of its debt agreement. However, if management is unsuccessful in that effort, consideration may be given to seeking additional capital and/or other financial support from the Company's principal stockholders.
5. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK:
The Company issued 15,000 shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock in November 1998. The Preferred Stock bears annual dividends of $10.00 per share payable quarterly in arrears. Each preferred share is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder. The Company has the option to redeem the preferred shares in whole or in part at a price of $100.00 plus accrued dividends as of December 31, 2001 and the obligation to redeem all shares at a price of $100.00 on December 31, 2004, plus accrued dividends. The holder of the preferred shares has no voting rights except at any time when the equivalent of three quarterly dividends are unpaid or the Company fails to make any mandatory redemption of the preferred shares at which time the number of directors of the Company will be increased by two and elected by the preferred shareholder. No dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid since issuance; the amount of dividends payable at June 30, 2000 is $242,260 and is included within current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The holder of the Preferred Shares has taken no action as a result of the nonpayment of the dividends.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion regarding the financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Prior to fiscal 2000, the Company's activities were limited to organizational matters, raising financing, and seeking a suitable acquisition. The Company had no sales revenue prior to fiscal 2000.
In July 1998, the Company began developing a dinner cruise business centered in Biloxi, Mississippi. The dinner cruise business commenced operations in December 1999. The net cruise revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $465,274 from approximately 8,717 passengers. The cost of sales and other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $1,044,970. The Company had a loss before preferred stock dividend for the three months ended June 30, 2000 of $579,696 compared to a loss before preferred stock dividend in 1999 of $137,658.
The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,966,228 and negative stockholders' equity of $(2,000,987) as of June 30, 2000. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of the cruise vessel and related on shore facilities. The Company has financed it operations and the construction with proceeds of a private placement of 30,000 shares of Common Stock at $10 per share, proceeds from the sale of 15,000 shares of preferred stock at $100 per share, the exercise of stock options by officers and directors at $12 or $15 per share, and from bank debt financing. At June 30, 2000, term financing was in place in the amount of $6,660,000 for a five year period with the unpaid balance due after the five years. The payments are due quarterly beginning June 30, 2000 (interest only at March 31, 2000) with interest fixed at a rate of 8.05%. The Company also has a $1,000,000 working capital revolving line of credit with the bank. As of June 30, 2000, the amount outstanding under the working capital line was $960,000. The financing is secured by a lien on the dinner cruise vessel, a limited guarantee from the vendor who supplied the vessel's engines and the personal guarantee of Burt H. Keenan, the company's founder. The term financing is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants, which have been waived by the Company's lender until April 1, 2001, include minimum cash flow coverage of debt payments of 1.25 to 1 and minimum net worth, including preferred stock of, $1,000,000.
While the financial covenants discussed above do not become effective until after March 31, 2001, the Company's initial operations have not been profitable, and the Company is in the deficit working capital position as of June 30, 2000. Should such losses continue, the Company's operations alone will not provide adequate performance to meet the financial covenants under the Company's debt agreement once effective, subsequent to March 31, 2001. Management is currently developing a plan to amend its debt agreement to enable the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they become due from funds generated by operations and maintain compliance under the terms of its debt agreement. However, if management is unsuccessful in that effort, consideration may be given to seeking additional capital and/or other financial support from the Company's principal stockholders. The Company's management believes the vessel will be able to generate positive cash flow by the end of its first year of operations, but there is no assurance this will occur. However, one of the Company's principal stockholders has committed to provide the funding, if necessary, to cover any working capital deficiencies through March 31, 2001.
The Company's debt obligations and its mandatorily redeemable preferred stock represent financial instruments subject to changes in market risk (primarily interest rate risk). The Company's revolving line of credit has a variable interest rate and is therefore less subject to interest rate risk. The Company's term financing carries a fixed rate of interest and its mandatorily redeemable preferred stock has a fixed dividend rate. All other things being equal, the fair value of debt and debt equivalent instruments with fixed accrual rates will increase as market interest rates decline, and conversely the fair value of such instruments will decrease as market interest rates rise.
