PL BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 1996 and 1997
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 January 31, 1997, the results of operations of the three and nine
months ended January 31, 1996 and 1997, and the cash flows for the three and
nine months ended January 31, 1996 and 1997. 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 fiscal year ended April 30,
1997. Reference is made to the Company's Form 10-KSB, for the year ended April
30, 1996.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Sales increased in the 1997 periods compared to 1996 due to increased sales
volume. Gross margin was lower due to increased prices of materials which the
Company was unable to recoup by raising prices. Operating expenses were
significantly lower in the 1997 period due to management cost cutting efforts.
Liquidity
As of January 31, 1997, the Company's working capital deficit was 79,740.
The Company's working capital position was enhanced as compared to April 30,
1997 by the sale of securities and proceeds from a shareholder loan. The Company
has also obtained an operating line of credit from a bank in the amount of
$250,000 (CAN).
The Company anticipates its need for cash over the next 12 months for
general and administrative expenses to be $50,000 per month. This amount is
expected to be provided from operations and provided by private placements of
debt or equity. The Company has no specific plans for any placement of its
securities.
