NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000 (Unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Focus Entertainment International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Focus") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. This Form 10-QSB Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-SB, which contains audited financial statements for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, as filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2000 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Company's Activities
Focus and its subsidiaries operate Adult Fantasy Stores which rent adult videos and retail in adult videos, marital aids, lotions, novelties, magazines, provocative clothing, lingerie, tobacco, tobacco related products, and adult viewing booths. The stores operate under the trade names of Inserection, Heaven, New York Video, Cupid's Arrow and Water Pipe World and are located in the metropolitan Atlanta Georgia area in Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb counties and in Myrtle Beach South Carolina in Horry County. The Company has also promoted boxing events under the name "Boxing in Buckhead" and until May 1999 operated a boxing gym under the name Biggs Morrison Boxing.
Consolidation Issues
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following wholly-owned or majority owned subsidiaries: Unique Visuals, LLC; Midtown Visuals, Inc., Creative Visuals, LLC; Exciting Visuals, LLC; Fantastic Visuals, LLC; Northside Visuals, LLC; Cheshire Visuals, LLC; New York Video, LLC; Innovative Visuals, LLC; Internet Visuals, LLC, Snellville Visuals, LLC, Myrtle Beach Visuals, LLC, Federal Visuals, LLC; and Biggs Morrison Boxing, LLC. The consolidated financial statements exclude the results of material transactions between the Company and its consolidated affiliates, or among the Company's consolidated affiliates.
Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of video inventory is determined on the average cost method. All other inventory is valued by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets by accelerated and straight-line methods. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense charged to operations amounted to $210,663 and $229,550 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for differences in depreciation for income tax and financial reporting purposes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers instruments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows.
Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recognized for financial statement purposes as the excess of the purchase price of interests in subsidiaries from minority investors over the book value of those interests, additionally, goodwill is recognized for financial statement purposes as the excess of the purchase price of assets acquired in the purchase of the Cupid's Arrow business over the fair market value of those assets. Goodwill is being amortized over 240 months.
Amortization expense charged to operations amounted to $18,544 and $11,453 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place. Advertising expense was $204,142 and $154,155 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including some types of derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. We do not anticipate the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 will significantly impact our financial reporting.
For the year ended June 30, 1999, we have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires the presentation of descriptive information about reportable segments consistent with information our management uses to assess performance. Additionally, SFAS No. 131 requires disclosure of certain information by geographic region. The adoption of the provision of SFAS No. 131 has not significantly impacted our financial reporting.
Note 2 -- Notes Payable
On September 21, 1999 the Company borrowed $100,000 from a company in which Michael Morrison holds an equity position. The loan was evidenced by a promissory note, bearing interest at 24% per annum, and required monthly payments of interest and the full repayment of all principle within 90 days. The note was collateralized by the Company's 70% interest in Innovative Visuals, LLC. The note was paid in full in accordance with the terms therein.
On December 30, 1999 the Company issued a promissory note to Big Top Promo and Expo, Inc. for $393,951 as part of the purchase of Big Top's interest in Exciting Visuals, LLC, Northside Visuals, LLC, and New York Video, LLC.

Should the reserved amounts be reduced, some, or all of that amount would be due and payable to the minority investors.

Results of Operations
Revenues
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had net sales of $10,181,118, as compared to net sales in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 of $9,890,864, an increase of $290,254, or 2.93%. Management believes the increase is primarily attributable to the maturation of two locations opened in Atlanta in February 1998 and August 1998, as well as the opening of a new location in Marietta, Georgia in July 1999. These locations showed an increase in net sales of 55.40%. This increase helped to offset a 13.59% reduction in net sales from the Company's inner-city locations. Management believes the decrease is primarily attributable to increased price competition in the Metropolitan Atlanta area. Additionally, the Company has opened a new location on the west side of Atlanta and acquired an existing location in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in March 2000 that should further offset the reduction in inner-city revenues.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, cost of goods sold were $3,259,125, as compared to cost of goods sold in the nine months ended March 31, 1999 of $2,443,898, an increase of $815,227, or 33.36%. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased from 24.71% to 32.01% from 1999 to 2000. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000 the Company upgraded its inventory accounting software. The process of implementing the upgrade included performing a physical inventory. As a result of errors in costing of inventory items under the old system discovered during the upgrade, the Company recorded a one-time inventory charge of $396,860. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales also increased as a result of a change in the mix of sales to less profitable lines, most notably evidenced by a 28.27% decline in video viewing booth revenues.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, general and administrative expenses were $5,259,887, as compared to $4,811,246 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $448,641, or 9.32%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 48.64% to 51.66% from 1999 to 2000. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a $313,563 expenditure for promotional and consulting services. Additionally there was an increase of $131,444 in the cost of leased janitorial, maintenance and warehouse employees, and an increase of $49,987 in advertising expenses. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in legal and professional services of $40,425.
Other Income (Expense)
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, Other Income (Expense) increased by $50,667, from a loss of $10,808 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to a profit of $39,859 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000. This is primarily attributable to an increase in payment discounts of $44,704 from 1999 to 2000.
Income Taxes
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company incurred income tax expense of $447,745, as compared to income tax expense of $629,024 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $181,279, or 28.82%. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased income from operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had Deferred Income Taxes of $25,000 and $4,000, respectively. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets of a company will not be realized. At March 31, 2000, no valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset because the Company determined from its projections that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax asset.
Net Income
For the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had net income of $552,924, compared to net income of $1,116,914 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $563,990, or 50.50%. Even though the Company's general and administrative expenses increased dramatically, a substantial part of the increase was the result of non-recurring expenses incurred during the period and therefore may not be indicative of future results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had net working capital of $1,398,969, compared to net working capital of $963,469 as of March 31, 1999, an increase of $435,500 and net working capital of $1,333,233 on June 30, 1999. As of March 31, 2000, the Company's long-term debt was $744,833, of which $33,072 was held by the Company's majority stockholder, as compared to long-term debt of $407,527 at March 31, 1999, of which $163,106 was held by the Company's majority stockholder. Cash was reduced during the nine months ended March 31, 2000 by the payment of substantial income taxes, the buildup of inventory in its new stores and for the holiday season, and the purchase of a substantial minority interest. This was offset by earnings from operations and increases in accounts payable during the nine months as well as an increase in long term debt. During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, the Company continued to concentrate on improving and consolidating its long-term financial position. The improvements in the Company's balance sheet in fiscal 2000 should improve the long-term profitability of the Company's current operations and position the Company for future sustained growth.
The Company funds its short-term working capital needs, including the purchase of video and other inventory, primarily through cash from operations. The Company expects that cash from operations and extended vendor terms will be sufficient to fund future video and other inventory purchases and other working capital needs for its existing locations. As a part of its growth strategy, however, the Company requires greater working capital to fund the costs of new store openings. There can be no assurance that cash from operations and extended vendor terms will be sufficient to fund future video and other inventory purchases and other working capital to sustain the continued growth of the Company.
The Company's primary long-term capital needs are for opening and acquiring new locations. The Company expects to fund such needs through cash flows from operations, the net proceeds from the possible sale of debt or equity securities, bank credit facilities, trade credit, and equipment leases.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
The Company's market risk sensitive instruments do not subject it to material risk exposures. The carrying value of the Company's debt approximates fair value at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The carrying value of the Company's notes receivable approximate fair market value at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999.
Year 2000
The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer systems that uses time-sensitive software programming may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in miscalculations or system failures.
The Company has not experienced any significant disruptions in data processing on its financial reporting systems or malfunction in equipment containing microprocessors, significant delay in receiving goods or services from key vendors and service providers as a result of Year 2000 issues.
