NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2000

 

Note 1. Statement of Information Furnished

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. In the opinion of management the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and normal or recurring accruals as necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2000, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's Form 10-KSB. The consolidated results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto incorporated in the Company's Form 10-KSB.

Change in Accounting Policies

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. The Company is required to adopt the Interpretation on July 1, 2000. The Interpretation requires that stock options that have been modified to reduce the exercise price be accounted for as variable. The Company has repriced stock options on July 13, 1999 and in accordance with general accepted accounting principles accounts for the repriced stock options as fixed. As a result of adopting the Interpretation, the Company will be required to apply variable accounting to these options and if the market price of the Company's stock increases it will recognize additional compensation expense that it otherwise would not have incurred. However, the impact cannot be determined as it is dependent on the change in the market price of the stock from July 1, 2000 until the stock options are exercised.

The Company's revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $9,462,000, down $3,778,000 or 29% from the three months ended June 30, 1999 revenues of $13,240,000.

There were no EXIM sales in the three months ended June 30, 2000, although the Company expects EXIM sales of about $12 million to begin later in the year assuming all final approvals are received.

The Company recorded net income in the three months ended June 30, 2000 of $116,000 compared with net income of $817,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1999.

Healthcare Products

The healthcare products segment, consisting of medical equipment, medical consumables and personal healthcare products, had revenue of $7,829,000, a decrease of 36%, in the three months ended June 30, 2000 from the three months ended June 30, 1999 revenues of $12,177,000.

A decrease in salaries of $20,000 was offset by increases in travel and entertainment expense increase of $52,000 and other costs of $18,000.

Healthcare Services

The healthcare services segment consists of a Western style primary care hospital and outpatient facility. In the three months ended June 30, 2000, the revenues from this segment increased to $1,633,000 or 54% over the three months ended June 30, 1999 revenue of $1,063,000 due to expanded services and increased patient flow.

Other income increased in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $273,000 from $135,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1999.

The final contract payments received in the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $170,000 as compared to $40,000 received in the three months ended June 30, 1999. The Company's agreement with its current tenant expires July 31, 2000 with the tenant having an option to extend for an additional year. There has been no confirmation as to whether the tenant plans to exercise its option. Depending on the tenant's decision, the Company has several other possible uses for this space.

As of June 30, 2000, merchandise inventories were $7,654,000 rising $1,773,000 from the period ended December 31, 1999 balance of $5,881,000. Increases relate to new products, $1,260,000, and expansion of the consumable business to other regions of China, $513,000. This increase was offset by an increase in accounts payable of $2,389,000 primarily due to new vendor payment arrangements on inventory shipments.

With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this Report on Form 10-QSB and, if any, in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company's (i) performance goals, including successful conclusion of efforts to secure government-backed financing, (ii) future revenues and earnings, including revenues from the Company's developmental businesses such as the health services segment, (iii) markets, including growth in demand in China for the Company's products and services, and (iv) proposed new operations, including expansion of its health services business. Actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements because of, among other things, the following factors: developments relating to conducting business in China (including political, economic and legal matters), the timing of the Company's revenues, risks relating to commencement and early operation of healthcare services, dependence on certain suppliers, and extension of credit terms.
