ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION |
The matters discussed in this management's discussion and analysis or plan of operations contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results in our two operating segments could differ materially from those discussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
The Banker's Store, Inc. ("Store") was established in 1968. It remained dormant for many years until it completed the acquisition of B.G. Banking Equipment, Inc., ("B.G. Banking") and Financial Building Equipment Exchange, Inc., ("FBEE"). We are now in the business of buying, selling, refurbishing and trading new and refurbished financial equipment for banks and other financial institutions. Commencing during the fourth quarter of the year ended May 31, 2002, we entered the office equipment and furniture retail business. We market products throughout the United States primarily through direct sales to financial institutions and other distributors supported by our direct sales force and soliciting new contacts through our presence on the Internet.
We anticipate that our results of operations may fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including whether and when new products at competitive prices are obtained and sources of good used banking and banking related equipment and furniture become available at favorable prices, market acceptance of current or new products, delays, or inefficiencies, shipment problems, seasonal customer demand, the timing of significant orders, competitive pressures on average selling prices and changes in the mix of products sold.
Operating results would also be adversely affected by a downturn in the market for our current and future products, order cancellations, or order rescheduling or remanufacturing or delays. We purchase and resell new merchandise and remanufacture and ship our other products shortly after receipt of orders. We have not developed a significant backlog for such products and do not anticipate developing a material backlog for such products in the future. We may not be able to sustain revenue growth on a quarterly or annual basis.
1
In October, 2006, we added two new executive officers to our management team. We have increased our operating expenses, primarily for personnel and activities supporting newly-introduced products, new product development and entering new markets. Our operating results have been and will continue to be adversely affected if our sales do not correspondingly increase or if our product development efforts are unsuccessful or are subject to delays.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Significant accounting estimates:
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, equipment and improvements, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting estimates used as of May 31, 2007 and as outlined in our previously filed Form 10-KSB have been applied consistently for the six months ended November 30, 2007.
Related party transactions:
We have entered into two operating leases with our Chairman of the Board and principal stockholder, Paul Clark, for the lease of an aggregate of 32,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The leases provide for a monthly rent plus maintenance expenses. The leases expire in August and September 2008, respectively.

Litigation:
On March 7, 2000, we filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Stamford Financial Consulting, Inc., Taurus International Investment, Inc., George C. Bergleitner, Jr., Alexander C. Brosda and Andrew Seim (the “New York Action”), seeking an amount of not less than $1.7 million for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment, and seeking an accounting of defendants’ books and records. The action arises out of B. G. Banking’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated January 31, 1998, prepared by Stamford Financial, for the sale of 3,000,000 shares of B. G. Banking common stock at $1.00 per share. On April 5, 2000, defendant George C. Bergleitner served a counterclaim alleging that we failed to have 180,000 shares of stock transferred without any legal endorsement, pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The counterclaim seeks damages of $900,000 based upon the value of the stock at the highest amount at which it traded, which is alleged to be $5.00 per share.
2
In December 2000, the court entered a default judgment against Taurus International Investment, Inc., Alexander C. Brosda and Andrew Seim leaving only George Bergleitner and his company, Stamford Financial to defend the lawsuit.
By order entered on May 4, 2001, the Court granted a motion filed by Stamford Financial Consulting, Inc. and George C. Bergleitner, to transfer the New York Action to the New York State Supreme Court, Delaware County, and the action is continuing there against these two defendants.
We have filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaim.
Although we cannot predict the outcome of the litigation described above, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in subsequent periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2006.
Revenues were approximately $1,364,372 for the six months ending November 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $1,090,881 for the six months ended November 30, 2006 reflecting an increase of approximately $273,491, or 25%. The increase in revenues during the six months ending November 30, 2007 is partially the net result of increased equipment sales and the completion of jobs from the prior two periods. The revenues for the three months ending November 30, 2007 were $533,635 as compared to $495,009 for the three months ended November 30, 2006, reflecting an increase of approximately $38,626, or 8%. This increase for the three months ending November 30, 2007 is partially the result of increased equipment sales. Banking equipment revenues increased approximately $162,884 or 17% for the six months ending November 30, 2007 from the six months ended November 30, 2006. Office equipment revenues increased approximately $110,607, or 105% for the six months ending November 30, 2007 from the six months ended November 30, 2006.
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended November 30, 2007 were approximately $898,448, or 66% of net sales as compared to approximately $827,672, or 76% of net sales for the six months ended November 30, 2006. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended November 30, 2007 was approximately $349,901, or 66% of net sales as compared to approximately $362,679, or 73% of net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2006. Gross profit increased during the six months ending November 30, 2007 to approximately $465,924, or 34% of net sales as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2006 of $263,209, or 24% of net sales. This increase in gross profit is primarily due to increased sales of pre-owned equipment and a price adjustment in our labor rates and delivery charges.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $550,786, or 40% of revenues for the six months ending November 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $462,549, or 42% of revenues for the six months ended November 30, 2006 reflecting an increase of approximately $88,237 and a decrease of 2% of net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $239,589, or 45% of revenues for the three months ending November 30, 2007 as compared to approximately $239,016, or 48% of revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2006 reflecting an increase of approximately $573 and a decrease of 3% of net sales.
As a result of the aforementioned, the Company incurred a net loss from operations during the six months ending November 30, 2007 of approximately $89,586, or 7% of net sales as opposed to a net loss of approximately $205,683, or 19% of net sales for the six months ending November 30, 2006. For the three months ending November 30, 2007, the Company incurred a loss of approximately $58,510, or 11% of net sales as opposed to a net loss of approximately $110,032, or 22% of net sales for the comparable prior period.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed our operations through revenues from operations.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $181,819 and working capital of $303,068 at November 30, 2007. At November 30, 2007, the Company’s cash position had decreased by $175,504 from the year ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in liquidity primarily came from the $217,890 decrease in customer deposits as the result of completing several projects that were started in prior periods and partially offset by a decrease of $117,754 of inventory. Our $350,000 revolving line of credit expired on November 7, 2007 and was not renewed as it had never been utilized.
4
We are evaluating various alternatives in addressing our future facilities’ needs. The alternatives being evaluated include consolidation of our office equipment facility with our bank equipment facility thus reducing our lease expense and associated overhead expenses. Other expense reductions are being explored.
We also desire to expand our customer base and enter additional markets. To accomplish these goals, we are currently evaluating a number of strategies and related steps. We are considering and evaluating opportunities to grow and expand through mergers or acquisitions. We have strengthened our management team by adding a CEO and CFO. We may hire additional sales personnel in order to reach potential customers in new markets and additional customers in existing markets.
Our ability to effect any of these strategies or to take any of these steps will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited too, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain sufficient capital on reasonable terms; our ability to locate and hire qualified personnel on satisfactory terms and conditions, the availability of attractive candidates for merger or acquisition on reasonable terms and conditions; continued demand for our products and services; our ability to withstand increased competitive pressures; and economic conditions within the financial services industry and within the markets we serve. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet any or all of our goals.
We believe that our available cash and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our funding needs through at least November 30, 2008. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, we may be required to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. In this regard, we have retained the services of an investment banking firm for corporate advisory and financial placement services in connection with raising additional capital. There can be no assurance that such additional capital, if needed, will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be substantially dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants and also result in substantial dilution to stockholders. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the extent to which our new products and products under consideration are successfully developed, gain market acceptance, become and remain competitive as well as the costs and timing of further expansion of sales and marketing. The failure by us to raise capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 3. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. As of November 30, 2007, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that it designed to ensure that it records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information it must disclose in reports that it files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Vincent Buckman, the Company's President and CEO, supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Buckman concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting known to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of The Banker's Store, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of November 30, 2007 and the Company's results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2007 and the notes thereto (the "Audited Financial Statements") and the other information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (the "Form 10-KSB") for the year ended May 31, 2007.
The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended November 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2 - Earnings (loss) per common share:
The Company presents "basic" earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, "diluted" earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares were issued during the period. The Company considered the stock options granted to the executives as potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period ended November 30, 2007. The weighted average numbers of shares for determining basic earnings per share were 14,954,781 in 2007. The weighted average numbers of shares for determining diluted earnings per share were 15,504,781 in 2007.
Note 3 - Income taxes:
The Company’s estimated federal and state income tax rate is 40 percent. Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the extent and timing of our future taxable income, the Company offset the deferred tax assets attributable to the potential benefits of approximately $26,000 from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance as of November 30, 2007. Deferred tax assets offset by a valuation allowance were approximately $199,000 offset by a valuation allowance of $179,000 as of November 30, 2006. Total deferred tax assets were approximately $236,000 which was offset by an equivalent valuation allowance of approximately $236,000 as of November 30, 2007.
As a result of the corresponding increase in the valuation allowance and deferred tax assets of $26,000 during the six months ended November 30, 2007, the Company did not recognize any income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations to offset its pre-tax income and loss in the periods.

Litigation:
On March 7, 2000, we filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against Stamford Financial Consulting, Inc., Taurus International Investment, Inc., George C. Bergleitner, Jr., Alexander C. Brosda and Andrew Seim (the “New York Action”), seeking an amount of not less than $1.7 million for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment, and seeking an accounting of defendants’ books and records. The action arises out of B. G. Banking’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated January 31, 1998, prepared by Stamford Financial, for the sale of 3,000,000 shares of B. G. Banking common stock at $1.00 per share. On April 5, 2000, defendant George C. Bergleitner served a counterclaim alleging that we failed to have 180,000 shares of stock transferred without any legal endorsement, pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The counterclaim seeks damages of $900,000 based upon the value of the stock at the highest amount at which it traded, which is alleged to be $5.00 per share.
In December 2000, the court entered a default judgment against Taurus International Investment, Inc., Alexander C. Brosda and Andrew Seim leaving only George Bergleitner and his company, Stamford Financial to defend the lawsuit.
By order entered on May 4, 2001, the Court granted a motion filed by Stamford Financial Consulting, Inc. and George C. Bergleitner, to transfer the New York Action to the New York State Supreme Court, Delaware County, and the action is continuing there against these two defendants.
We filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaim.
Although we cannot predict the outcome of the litigation described above, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in subsequent periods.
