PL BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Three Months Ended July 31, 1996 and 1995
NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited 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 July 31, 1996, the results of operations of the three
months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows for the three months
ended July 31, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the three months
ended July 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the full fiscal year ended April 30, 1997. Reference is made
to the Company's Form 10- KSB.
Item 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Net revenues in the three months ended July 31, 1996 were higher
than in the 1995 period due to increased sales volume. Cost of sales for the
three months ended July 31, 1996 were 89% of sales, respectively, compared to
85% for the 1995 periods, primarily as a result of increases in materials and
pressures on sales prices. Operating expenses for the three months ended July
31, 1996 were significantly lower than in 1995 as a result of management's cost
cutting efforts.
The Company is not expected to become profitable, if at all, until
sales grow sufficiently (of which there can be no assurance) to support the
administrative burden. Consulting fees were paid for professional consultants,
not affiliated with the Company, regarding private label products, obtaining
customers, and potential acquisitions of private label product lines.
Liquidity
As of July 31, 1996, the Company's working capital deficit was
$167,981. The Company's working capital position was enhanced by the sale of
$52,800 in securities. The Company has also obtained an operating line of credit
from a bank in the amount of $250,000 (CAN). As of July 31, 1996, the line of
credit amount was US $146,893. The Company intends to sell debt or equity to
meet its cash requirements.
