NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Six Months Ended January 31, 1996 and January 31, 1997
NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of the
management of the Company, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position at
January 31, 1997, the results of operations for the six months ended January 31,
1997 and January 31, 1996, and the cash flows for the three months ended January
31, 1997 and January 31, 1996. The results of operations for the three months
ended January 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations to be expected for the full year ending July 31, 1997.
NOTE 2 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On October 14, 1996, the Company issued 7% Convertible Debentures in exchange
for $1,212,500 net of issuance costs. These debentures mature on October 14,
1999. The related interest compounds annually and is payable on a semi-annual
basis commencing six months after the date of the Debentures. The Debentures may
be converted, at the holder's option, up to 33 1/3% of the aggregate original
principal amount beginning after the 90th day following the date of the
issuance; 66 2/3% after the 125th day; and 100% after the 170th day. The
conversion price shall be equal to the: 1) lesser of 110% of the average closing
bid price (as reported on the American Stock Exchange) of the Company's common
stock for the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately
preceding the date of the agreement, or, 2) 82% of the average closing bid price
of the Company's common stock for the 5 consecutive trading days ending on the
trading day immediately preceding a Conversion Date, as defined. In conjunction
with the issuance of the Debentures, the Company granted warrants to purchase
37,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5 per share. These
warrants expire on October 14, 1999.
NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of
Raw materials: $ 658,338
Finished goods: $ 380,291
Total $ 1,038,629
Less: Allowance for
Obsolescence $ (33,350)
TOTAL $1,005,279
NOTE 4 - COST OF REVENUES SOLD
At January 31, 1997 the Cost of Revenues account was credited for $112,115
representing a re-allocation of commissions incorrectly charged to that account
in prior periods. Commissions on sales, a part of selling, general and
administrative expenses, was appropriately charged for the same amount. The
correction has no net effect on earnings (loss).
NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTING POLICY - CONTRACT RECEIVABLE
On January 31, 1997 the Company sold two of its existing intranet contracts to
American Data Intranet Systems, Inc. (ADIS), an affiliate of American Data
Technology, Inc. (ADTI) for $2,000,000 which includes refinancing a $250,000
receivable recorded in fiscal 1996. ADTI transacts other business with the
Company relating to outside software-fulfillment. The terms of the sale call for
a $450,000 payment due in February 1997, which was paid and applied to the
$250,000 existing receivable, and the balance of $1,550,000 collected over the
next 51 months. The Company will record transactions using the installment
method of accounting which recognizes revenues as cash is received. Monthly
payments will begin October, 1997 under the following schedule:
1. Twelve payments of $10,000 per month
2. Twelve payments of $20,000 per month

3. Twelve payments of $30,000 per month

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
(a) Plan of Operation
The Company continues to develop and distribute budget computer software to
retail stores throughout the United States and foreign countries. For the near
future the Company's focus to generate revenues will come from the sale of this
software and from the marketing of its intranet software application to other
companies. The Company utilizes both in-house and outside sales representatives
who typically are paid a base draw against commission. Commissions are typically
paid as cash is received from customers. With regards to the Intranet revenues,
the Company expects to receive revenues as transactions are accessed on the
respective intranet sites and/or from the sale of contracts to third parties. At
January 31, 1997 the Company sold two of its existing contracts to third
parties. On-going costs associated with intranet sales are anticipated to
consist of commissions and indirect costs (amortization of the license
agreement). There are no direct to the Company associated with this source of
revenue. On January 31, 1997 the Company entered into a contract to sell two of
its existing contracts to a third party. The terms of the contract are detailed
in the footnotes to the financial statements and revenues will be recognized
under the installment method of accounting which recognizes income as cash is
received. See footnotes to the financial statements and "(c) other" below.
(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, net revenues declined by 49% compared
to the same period ended January 31, 1996 and declined by approximately 68% for
the three months ended the same time periods. Management believes a combination
of slower than expected seasonal sales, competition and returned merchandise
were factors contributing to the decline. Cost of goods sold for January 31,
1997 at 51% compares closely to 49% reported at January 31, 1996. Management
attributes this increase to returns and allowances given to larger retailers in
1997 who were not customers of the Company during 1996. The 38% cost of sales
for the three-month period ended January 31, 1997 versus 51% for the same
three-month period in 1996 resulted from the re-allocation of commissions
discussed below. Management believes cost of sales for the year of approximately
51% more closely resembles on-going costs in this area.
Selling and G&A expenses rose by over 120% from the prior year due to the
increase in number of employees and executives as a result of the fourth quarter
1996 purchase of Q & A Sales & Marketing, as well as increased amortization
charges resulting from recording the intranet licensing agreement also during
the fourth quarter. These same conditions result in an over 200% increase in
expenses for the comparable quarters. Also, the increase to the allowance for
doubtful account of $200,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 1997 contributes
to the significant increase to expenses for the quarter. Management of the
Company has taken aggressive steps to reduce this increase by bringing the
number of employees more in line with the revenue of the Company. By May, 1997
the number of full time employees had been reduced to approximately 30, down
from over 50 at the year ended July 31, 1996. Management does not expect any
further significant changes in the number of employees for the foreseeable
future. Additionally, management is focusing its sales efforts on smaller
retailers who have proven to place higher profit orders with fewer returns and
allowances.
The net loss reported at January 31, 1997 of $2.018 million compared to profits
of $521,069 reported at the period ended January 31, 1996 resulted from the
combination of slower sales and increased overhead. The loss includes non-cash
charges of depreciation and amortization of nearly $500,000, and an additional
charge of $200,000 to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Although management
believes it has better control over the expenses of the Company, the trend of
losses is expected to continue throughout fiscal 1997. Considerable improvements
have been made in running the Company more efficiently, however salesvolume is
the next key to success for the future. Management believes capital and
liquidity are sufficient for the near-future and continues to aggressively work
toward collections of accounts receivable and reducing inventory levels. (c)
Other
(c) Other
Management chose to amend the previously filed Form 10-QSB for the period ended
January 31, 1997 primarily to restate earnings as it related to the accounting
treatment of the sale of two intranet contracts for $2,000,000 disclosed in that
report, and above. After a further review of the final transaction and of FASB
45, APB 10 and ARB 43, management concludes the recognition of revenues in the
quarter ended January 31, 1997 of $450,000 and recording the $2,000,000 contract
receivable as an asset discounted by $1,300,000 is inconsistent with generally
accepted accounting principles. Management has determined the more appropriate
accounting treatment of this transaction in the period ended January 31, 1997 is
by footnote disclosure only. In
8
<PAGE>
addition, management has determined it is appropriate to recognize previously
unrecorded liabilities of $195,000 in the quarter ended January 31, 1997, to
increase the allowance for doubtful accounts by $200,000 and re-allocate sales
commission of $112,115 from cost of sales to selling, general and administrative
in the same period. The combined entries increase the previously reported loss
by $845,000 for the period ended January 31, 1997 to a loss of $2,018,350.
Foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material effect on the Company's
results of operations.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except as set forth below, no material proceedings to which the Company is a
party, or to which any of its properties are subject, are pending or are known
to be contemplated, and the Company knows of no material legal proceedings,
pending or threatened, or judgments entered against any director or officer of
the Company in his capacity as such.
The Company has filed, on March 23, 1994, a lawsuit against $5.99 Store, Craig
Larson and Andrea Larson, former distributors of the Company (collectively, the
"Defendants"), in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, for the debt
owed by the $5.99 Store to the Company, and breach of the distribution agreement
entered into by the Company and the Defendants. In the lawsuit, the Company
alleges that the Defendants continue to use the Company's trademarks and
represent themselves as the owners of such trademarks without the consent of the
Company. Furthermore, the Company alleges the breach of an agreement with the
Defendants, pursuant to which the Company agreed to extend credit to the
Defendants. The Company seeks damages in the amount of $477,418.75 (Can) for the
price of goods sold and delivered to the Defendants and for the financing
charges associated therewith. The lawsuit further alleges that the Defendants
failed to conduct their business affairs in a professional manner, in breach of
the distribution agreement. The Company terminated said distribution agreement
with the Defendants on February 10, 1994. The Company seeks also an injunction
restraining and enjoining the Defendants from selling and distributing of the
Company's goods without the Company's consent. The Company obtained a judgment
in this litigation in the amount of $364,000 (Can), but collection of the
judgment has been stayed pending appeal and resolution of the counter suit
described below.
On March 21, 1994, $5.99 Computer Software Store (Canada), Inc. (the
"Plaintiff") filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada,
against the Company in which it alleges a breach of the distribution agreement
by the Company. The Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and an injunction
restraining the Company from distributing its products in Canada. A trial date
has been tentatively scheduled for September, 1998 to resolve outstanding issues
with respect to this matter.
Although the Company believes it has successfully challenged Plaintiff's claims,
in the event the Plaintiff was successful, the Company believes that the impact
would neither be material nor have a material adverse impact on the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Plaintiff and others will not bring claims
against the Company nor that the Company can successfully challenge each such
claim.
On April 1, 1996, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed in Orange County
Superior Court by the underwriter of its 1994 public offering, Strausbourger
Pearson Tulcin Wolff Incorporated (the "Underwriter"). The Underwriter alleges
that the Company's sale of a private placement in November 1995 violated a
covenant in the underwriting agreement for the 1994 public offering not to sell
any of its securities until February 9, 1996 without the Underwriter's consent.
The Company has answered the complaint denying all allegations and has also
filed for arbitration with the NASD. The Company believes the lawsuit is without
merit.
On May 24, 1996, the Underwriter filed an additional complaint in Orange County
Superior Court alleging that the Company had not complied with the Underwriter's
demand to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to register the shares underlying the Underwriter's 182,000
Underwriter Warrants received in connection with the 1994 public offering. The
complaint seeks damages of not less than $1,000,000. The Company believes the
second lawsuit is without merit and has filed an answer denying all allegations.
The Company has filed a motion to disqualify the Underwriter's legal counsel on
the basis of a conflict of interest.
The Company was named in a respondent action for breach of contract and other
business-related torts brought by Daisy Software,
Inc. The Company filed a counter-claim alleging numerous business-related torts
and seeking punitive damages. In October, 1996
an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association who presided over the
hearing awarded $140,000 to Daisy Software. This
9
<PAGE>
amount is accrued as a liability in the October 31, 1996 financial statements.
The Company has since entered into a repayment agreement with Daisy whereby the
Company will make payments of $5,000 per month beginning February 1997, towards
reducing this outstanding liability. Those payments are being made and the
agreement is current as of June 1997.
On October 29, 1996, Platinum Entertainment Partners, II, a Nevada general
partnership, filed in Clark County, Nevada District Court a complaint against
the Company asserting three causes of action based on an alleged breach of
contract. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, or specific performance in
which the Company should provide 240,000 units of the Company's product. The
Company intends to vigorously defend the allegations stated in the complaint, as
it believes such allegations are without merit. Additionally, during January,
1997 the Company filed a counter-claim against the plaintiff seeking the return
of over $700,000 in inventory or cash equivalent.
On March 4, 1997 a lawsuit was filed in the Orange County Superior Court of
California by seven shareholders alleging the "issuance of false financial
statements and other positive statements." The action seeks class action status
for purchasers of the Company stock between December 11, 1995 and November 11,
1996. The complaint prays for relief as the court may deem just and proper. The
Company intends to vigorously defend the allegations stated in the complaint, as
it believes such allegations are without merit.

Company it had fallen below the Exchange's guidelines for continued listing and
subjected the Company to a continued listing revue. On February 10, 1997 the
Exchange notified the Company of its decision to de-list the Company. The
Company chose not to appeal this decision. During February, 1997, the Company's
stock began trading on the Nasdaq Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol
