NETLOJIX COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2001 and 2000
(1) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of NetLojix Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 and for the three and six month periods then ended have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
(2) Acquisitions
Effective August and September 2000, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Smith Technology Solutions, Inc. (STS) and CW Electronic Enterprises, Inc. (CWE2), respectively. These enterprises provide local and wide area network design, integration and support, and web-site design and management for businesses. The Company paid cash of $60,000 and $150,000 and issued 250,000 and 500,000 shares of its common stock valued at approximately $484,000 and $1,214,000 in exchange for all the outstanding shares of STS and CWE2, respectively. The Company also paid $90,000 for a consulting agreement with an officer of STS. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition related expenses totaling approximately $233,000. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

As of June 30, 2001, common stock equivalent shares such as employee stock options have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares as the effect would be antidilutive.
(4) Litigation
On April 19, 2000, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle all outstanding claims under the class action lawsuit pending against NetLojix and certain of its officers. On May 29, 2001 the court entered its final order of dismissal and approval of the settlement. The period for any appeals has passed. The Company will issue, for distribution to the claimant class members and for payment of any plaintiffs attorneys' fees and litigation expenses, a total of 232,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of NetLojix's common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share with a term of 2 years. During the three month period ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded a charge against earnings of $998,000 and a liability relating to the expected settlement. This charge has been adjusted to the current market value of the stock and warrants on the date that the settlement became effective. This resulted in credit to earnings in the second quarter of 2001 of $684,000.
In connection with the sale in November 1999 of Matrix Telecom (a former subsidiary of NetLojix), the final amount of the purchase price is subject to adjustment based on finalization of a
7
balance sheet for Matrix Telecom as of August 31, 1999 and agreement by both parties. The Company was notified by the purchaser on December 16, 1999 that the purchaser materially disagreed with the balance sheet of Matrix Telecom prepared by the Company. To date, the Company has attempted to resolve the matter, but the purchaser has resisted submitting the matter to an independent firm of accountants chosen by the parties for final resolution, as required by the contract. Any adjustments in the purchase price would affect the purchase price and the recorded gain. If the dispute is determined in the purchaser's favor, the Company could be required to repay some of the purchase price to the purchaser in cash. At this time, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the items in dispute will materially affect the recorded gain.
The Company presently has other contingent liabilities relating to various lawsuits and other matters related to the conduct of its business. On the basis of information furnished by counsel and others, management believes that the resolution of these contingencies will not materially affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
(5) Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock and Stock Option Transactions
On April 1, 2001, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Restricted Stock to two of its Officers and Directors under its 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. These shares vest 30% at the end of each of the first two anniversary dates of their issuance and 40% on the third anniversary of their issuance. The two individuals were also granted 800,000 options to purchase the Company's common stock under the same plan with the same vesting schedule at an exercise price of $.11 per share. In addition the Company granted to other employees 18,000 options under the same plan vesting 25% each anniversary of issue at exercise prices of $.14 and $.17 per share.
(6) Segment Reporting
The Company's primary business segments are network connectivity, technical support services and application development and hosting. The segmentation is based on the types of services provided. All of the Company's services are targeted toward mid-sized businesses.
The network connectivity segment includes services that are wide area network connections for Internet, data or voice traffic. The Company provides traditional long distance services, calling card, dedicated voice and data access and numerous Internet service options. Telecommunications product offerings include dedicated or leased lines, dedicated and switched long distance, frame relay, ATM, calling cards, and "1-800" services. Internet product offerings within the network connectivity segment include dial-up access, DSL, dedicated access and cable access. This segment includes the Internet connectivity portion of the Company's Southern California based Internet service provider business.
Technical support services encompass a broad array of technical support services and solutions including system integration, desktop and network support, asset management and help desk solutions. Services provided include flat-fee maintenance contracts, prepaid time block retainers, help desk management contracts, LAN installations, warranty repairs and a small amount of hardware sales.
8
The applications development and hosting services segment includes producing, designing and programming creative multimedia applications that can be produced as a web application or a stand alone application as well as web hosting services.
The Company measures its performance based on revenues, gross margin, net income or loss and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operations, as a measure of performance.

(7) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements.

DESCRIPTION OF REVENUE SEGMENTS
We classify our business into three segments: network connectivity, technical support and application development and hosting. The segmentation of our company is how we manage the day-to-day operations of our business and is based on the types of services we provide.
Network Connectivity
The network connectivity segment includes services provided to our customers that are connections for the transfer of data or voice traffic. We provide numerous Internet service options, data and voice access and traditional long distance services. Our Internet product offerings within the network connectivity segment include dial-up access, DSL, dedicated access and cable access. Our telecommunications product offerings include dedicated or leased lines, switched long distance, frame relay, ATM, calling cards, and "1-800" services. This segment includes the Internet connectivity portion of our Internet service provider business. Within this segment, our networking and communications professionals will design, build and maintain a flexible, cost-effective package of data networking and voice communication services to meet our customers' needs.
Technical Support
Technical support services encompasses a broad array of solutions including system integration, desktop and network support, asset management and help desk solutions aimed at keeping our customers' IT systems operational and their networks running smoothly. The IT support team is certified by over 40 hardware and software manufacturers. Service options within this segment include systems and network installations, flat-fee maintenance contracts, prepaid time block retainers, help desk management contracts, warranty repairs and a small amount of hardware sales.
11
Application Development and Hosting
The applications development and hosting services segment includes producing, designing and programming creative multimedia and commerce applications that can be produced as a web application or a stand alone application. Once a web site has been designed we can also provide site maintenance services, host the web site on our own web servers or provide co-location space within one of our data centers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.
Revenues
Revenues from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $5.0 million, a decrease of 6.5% or $.3 million from $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Network connectivity services revenues, decreased $.7 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Within the network connectivity services segment, data and voice services accounted for $.4 million of the decrease with the balance of the decrease attributable to Internet services. Data and voice services decreased 20.6% from the comparable quarter in 2000 primarily due to the decrease in per minute rates attributable to continued competitive pricing pressures within the telecommunications industry. Internet services revenues decreased $.3 million or 28.5% to $.73 million. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in dial up connectivity accounts due to the competitiveness of the industry. We believe that while demand for dial up connectivity is decreasing, broadband Internet access products will continue to be strong, however they will also experience downward competitive pricing. We have upgraded our product offerings through partnerships and alliances with major vendors so that we can continue to increase our focus on broadband products.
Technical support services revenues were $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $.7 million or 44.7%, over the comparable quarter in 2000. Approximately $.6 million of the increase was due to the acquisition of CWE2 and STS late in the third quarter of 2000. The balance of the increase was due to increased revenues from the cross marketing of technical support services to network connectivity customers and increased sales of our help desk solution.
Application development and hosting services revenues decreased to $.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $.7 million for the comparable quarter in 2000, a 45.0% decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the demand for new application development. Also, during the second quarter of 2000, the Company realized several revenue recognition milestones on two large application development projects. Subsequent to June 30, 2000, one of the projects was terminated prior to completion. The Company has made a strategic decision to focus our applications development efforts on e-commerce, web centric applications and managed web hosting. Generally, these are higher margin services. For the three months ended June 30, 2001 revenues from hosting services increased 29.6% or $.06 million over the three months ended June 30, 2000. We expect to increase our focus on web centric applications and an expanded portfolio of managed hosting services. In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company initiated the expansion of its Santa Barbara data center to support its increased service offerings.
Gross Margin
Gross margin from operations as a percentage of revenues decreased to 40.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 41.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Gross margin from
12
operations decreased $.2 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
Network connectivity services gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased to 28.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 37.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Within the network connectivity services segment, data and voice gross margins averaged 17.6% vs. 17.2% in the comparable quarter in 2000. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to the re-provisioning of certain customers to alternate carriers for optimal pricing.
Gross margins for Internet services decreased to 54.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 78.5% for the comparable 2000 quarter. The decrease from 2000 is primarily attributable to increased costs relating to the opening of the New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles MPOPs along with the lower revenue with fixed connectivity costs.
Technical support services gross margins averaged 42.2% during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 compared to 36.2% for the comparable quarter in 2000. Gross margins in the technical service segment increased due to an increase in retail pricing along with a change of focus to our higher margin help desk solution.
Application development and web hosting gross margins were 81.9% during 2001 compared to 68.9% for the comparable quarter in 2000. The increase in gross margin is due primarily to a one-time adjustment following the resolution of a warranty liability for an application development project. The increase is also attributable to staff reductions in the application development area and the increase in web hosting revenue with costs that are fixed.
Selling, General, and Administrative Costs
Selling, general, and administrative costs decreased $.9 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative costs decreased to 39.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from 54.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. These decreases are primarily due to a cost reduction plan, which began in November of 2000 and was fully implemented early in the second quarter of 2001.
Of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, $.4 million is attributable to salary expense, which was the main focus of the cost reduction plan. Approximately $.1 million of the decrease is attributable to bringing the billing for telecommunications in house in the third quarter of 2000. Approximately $.1 million of the decrease is due to decreased professional service fees, primarily due to the decline of legal fees associated with the class action lawsuit and regulatory registration. The remaining decrease in cost was associated with the consolidation of office space and a streamlining of the Company's business.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.
Revenues
Revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $10.2 million, a decrease of 4.3% or $.4 million from $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Network connectivity services revenues, decreased $1.2 million to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Within the network connectivity services segment, data and voice services accounted for $.7 million of the decrease with the balance of the decrease attributable to Internet services. Data and voice services decreased 15.7% from the comparable quarter in 2000 primarily due to the decrease in per minute rates attributable to continued competitive pricing pressures within the telecommunications industry. Internet services
13
revenues decreased $.5 million or 26.5% to $.73 million. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in dial up connectivity accounts due to the competitiveness of the industry. We believe that while demand for dial up connectivity is decreasing, broadband Internet access products will continue to be strong, however they will also experience downward competitive pricing. We have upgraded our product offerings through partnerships and alliances with major vendors so that we can continue to increase our focus on broadband products.
Technical support services revenues were $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 44.4% or 1.3 million over the comparable quarter in 2000. Approximately $1.1 million of the increase was due to the acquisition of CWE2 and STS late in the third quarter of 2000. The balance of the increase was due to increased revenues from the cross marketing of technical support services to network connectivity customers and increased sales of our help desk solution.
Application development and hosting services revenues decreased to $.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2000, a 38.8% decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to the downsizing of the application development group. Also, during the second quarter of 2000, the Company realized several revenue recognition milestones on two large application development projects. Subsequent to June 30, 2000, one of the projects was terminated prior to completion. The Company has made a strategic decision to focus our applications development efforts on e-commerce, web centric applications and managed web hosting. Generally, these are higher margin services. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 hosting services increased 17.1% over the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Gross margin from operations decreased $.2 million to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Network connectivity services gross margin as a percent of revenue remained unchanged at 35.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Within the network connectivity services segment, data and voice gross margins averaged 26.8% vs. 16.4% in the comparable quarter in 2000. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to a one-time adjustment to cost of goods sold due to resolution of the amount of Universal Service Fund liability in the first quarter of 2001.
Gross margins for Internet services decreased to 58.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2001 vs. 76.0% for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease from 2000 is primarily attributable to increased costs relating to the opening of the New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles MPOPs along with the lower revenue with fixed connectivity costs.
Technical support services gross margins averaged 40.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 38.5% for the comparable period in 2000. Gross margins in the technical service segment increased due to an increase in retail pricing along with a change of focus to our higher margin help desk solution.
Application development and web hosting gross margins were 70.8% during the six months ended 2001 compared to 68.4% for the six months ended in 2000.

Selling, General, and Administrative Costs
Selling, general, and administrative costs decreased $2.2 million to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative costs decreased to 40.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 59.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These decreases are primarily due to a cost reduction plan, which began in November of 2000 and was fully implemented early in the second quarter of 2001.

Approximately $.4 million of the decrease is due to decreased professional service fees, primarily due to the decline of legal fees associated with the class action lawsuit and regulatory registration. The remaining decrease in cost was associated with the consolidation of office space and a streamlining of the Company's business.
Settlement Costs
As previously reported, NetLojix was a defendant in a class action under the federal securities laws (IN RE AVTEL SECURITIES LITIGATION, Case No. 98-9236) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
On October 4, 2000, NetLojix finalized an agreement with counsel for the plaintiff class to settle all outstanding claims under the class action lawsuit. During the last quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, NetLojix paid a total of $150,000 for administrative costs and other settlement implementation expenses.
On May 29, 2001, the court entered its final order of dismissal and approval of the settlement. The appeal period for this final approval ended on June 28, 2001. Upon receipt of instructions from the class action claims administrator, NetLojix will issue for distribution to the claimant class members, and payment of the plaintiffs attorneys' fees and litigation expenses, a total of 232,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of NetLojix's common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share with a term of 2 years. During the three month period ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded a charge against earnings of $998,000 and a liability relating to the expected settlement. This charge has been adjusted to the current market value of the stock and warrants on the date that the settlement became effective. This adjustment resulted in a credit to earnings in the second quarter of 2001 of $684,000.
Interest Expense
At June 30, 2001, the Company has $953,000 outstanding under its secured line of credit. During the six month period ended June 30, 2000 the Company averaged approximately $1.1 million in outstanding borrowings. The company is required to pay interest on a minimum borrowing of $1.0 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, we reported a net loss from continuing operations of $.15 million although operations provided net cash of $.25 million. As of June 30, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $.04 million and outstanding indebtedness on our line of credit of $1.0 million. At that date, we had a working capital deficit of $3.5 million. In their report on NetLojix's December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph indicating that NetLojix's recurring operating losses and working capital deficit at
15
December 31, 2000 raise doubts in their minds about NetLojix's ability to continue as a going concern. As described in more detail below, we initiated a cost reduction plan, which began in November of 2000 and was fully implemented early in the second quarter of 2001, to improve our cash flow from operations. This plan included a reduction in staff, closure of offices and a refocusing of our marketing and sales activities on more profitable lines of business.
Under our secured credit facility with Coast Business Credit, we may borrow up to 70% of eligible billed receivables (as defined) up to a total amount of $3.0 million. The percentage may be increased to 80% of eligible billed receivables if we reach certain operational targets. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest, payable monthly, based upon the prime rate of Bank of America NT & SA plus 2% (9.0% at June 30, 2001 and 8.75% at July 31, 2001). Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. As of July 31, 2001, approximately $.7 million is outstanding under the credit facility, and approximately $.1 million is available to be borrowed under the formula described above.
On April 23, 1999, we entered into an equity line agreement with Cambois Finance, Inc. Under the terms of the equity line agreement, we were permitted to sell or put our common stock to Cambois Finance, at our option at any time, subject to the satisfaction of several conditions. Among other requirements, our stock was required to have a minimum bid price of $2.26 per share and meet certain volume levels on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market in order for us to require Cambois Finance to purchase stock, unless Cambois Finance otherwise agreed. Our stock has not met these trading price and volume requirements for some time and was delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market in June 2001. Accordingly, we are unable to utilize the equity line without Cambois' agreement. We have not sold any shares of common stock to Cambois under the equity line agreement since December 1999, and we do not know if Cambois would be willing to agree to any further sales.
On February 21, 2001, we paid $120,000 in connection with the settlement agreement entered into in November 2000 with respect to NetLojix's outstanding class action lawsuit.
Historically, our cash flow from operations, our secured borrowings, our private placements of both common and preferred stock and our equity line agreement with Cambois Finance, Inc. have been sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements. However, as noted above, we currently cannot utilize the equity line without the agreement of Cambois.
We believe that current public market conditions are not conducive to raising large amounts of additional capital at this time. Therefore, we have taken several steps to conserve cash and reduce operating expenses. We expect that operating cash flows coupled with the remaining availability under our secured line of credit facility should be sufficient to meet our minimum working capital requirements into the foreseeable future. While we believe the cost control measures will significantly reduce our monthly cash requirements, we are also exploring other possible sources of cash including the possibility of a private equity placement. However, our current low stock price presents substantial obstacles to additional private placements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is not exposed to material future earnings or cash flow fluctuations, from changes in interest rates on its long-term debt at June 30, 2001. A hypothetical increase of 85 basis points in interest rate (ten percent of the Company's overall borrowing rate) would not result in a material fluctuation in future earnings or cash flow. The Company had not entered into any derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk or for speculative purposes and is currently not evaluating the future use of such financial instruments.
