Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations:
The Company, previous to 1994, operated solely as a research and
development facility. From October, 1993, until April 23, 1996,
the Company merely held a minority stake in a partnership, which
was transferred to a liquidating trust on this latter date. As a
result of the recision on March 11, 1997, of the acquisition of
Famous Sam's Franchise Corporation (Famous Sam's), which had
occurred on July 24, 1996, the Company had no operations during the
first nine months of 1997 or during 1996. The Company had no
revenues or income in the first nine months of 1997, or during 1996
or 1995 from any source whatsoever.
The Company's expenses during the first nine months of 1997 and the
year ended December 31, 1996, as a result of the recision of the
Famous Sam's acquisition, and the year ended December 31, 1995,
were entirely administrative in nature. No meaningful comparison
can be made between 1997 and 1996 since the Company had no
operations during this time and incurred only administrative
expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company transferred all of its outstanding liabilities to trust
on April 23, 1996. All liabilities incurred subsequent to April
23, 1996, and prior to March 11, 1997, were satisfied by Famous
Sam's, with the exception of the legal fees of Mr. Pierce. The
Company had no other source of liquidity during the first half of
1997 or during 1996, other the largesse of Mr. Pierce in his
extension of credit prior to becoming affiliated with the Company.
The Company had no source of liquidity during 1995, and, as a
result, became delinquent in payments to its creditors, one of whom
sued for payment and obtained a judgement. In fulfillment of a
condition precedent to closing of the Famous Sam's acquisition,
management arranged for the advancement of sums to satisfy in full
these former obligations of the Company, as previously transferred
to the liquidating trust, and assigned in consideration its claims
in this regards against the trust. The Company presently has no
source of liquidity.
