NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(000’s omitted)
August 31, 2003
1. | In the opinion of management, the foregoing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2003. The balance sheet as of February 28, 2003 was derived from audited financial statements. |
2. | The results for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year. |
3. | For the three and six months ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents which consist of stock options. |
For the three and six months ended August 31, 2003 and 2002, the number of shares used for basic earnings per share calculations were 5,121,000. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2002, all of the stock options outstanding for both periods were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as their impact was anti-dilutive. In fiscal 2003, 885,000 options were excluded. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2003, the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share were 5,651,000.
4. | The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax return. In estimating future tax consequences, consideration is given to all expected future events other than enactment’s of changes in the tax law or rates. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
August 31, 2003
Results of Operations
Total revenues increased $680,000, or 16.1% for the three months ended August 31, 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue is attributable primarily to increases in (i) royalty revenue ($49,000 or 3.9%) and (ii) Company-owned Franchise sales of $664,000 or 874%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Paper and Printing Sales of $32,000 or 1% The increase in Company-owned Franchise Sales is the result of the Company acquiring two franchises in fiscal 2003, one in July and the other in September.
Total revenues increased $1,282,000, or 14.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue is attributable to an increase in Company-owned Franchise Sales of $1,407,000 or 1851% and an increase in royalty revenue of $58,000 or 2.2%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Paper and Printing Sales of $190,000 or 3.1%.
Cost of paper and printing sales as a percentage of paper and printing sales was 89% and 88%, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2003 as compared to 87% and 86%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in fiscal 2003.
Selling and administrative expenses represented 40.5% and 38.4% of gross revenues for the three and six months ended August 31, 2003 as compared to 39.4% and 35.7% for the corresponding periods in fiscal 2003. The selling and administrative expense percentage is higher for the three and six months ended August 31, 2003 due to an additional selling and administrative expenses associated with the Company-owned Franchises which amounted to $634,000 and $1,297,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2003. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the provision for bad debts of $250,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash resources increased $1,387,000 during the six months ended August 31, 2003. The Company generated $1,511,000 from operations during the six months ended August 31, 2003. During the first six months of fiscal 2003, the Company made debt payments totaling $58,000 and made capital expenditures of $66,000.
The Company believes current cash reserves and internally generated funds will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that external financing will not be needed. The Company’s $2 million line of credit with a bank expired on September 19, 2003. No advances were ever made on the line.
Certain information contained in this report, particularly information regarding future economic performance and finances, plans and objectives of management, constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In some cases, information regarding certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement appear together with such statement. In addition, the following factors, in addition to other possible factors not listed, could affect the Company’s actual results and cause such results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. These factors include competition within the wholesale printing industry, which is intense; changes in general economic conditions; technological changes; changes in customer tastes; legal claims; the continued ability of the Company and its franchisees to obtain suitable locations and financing for new Franchises as well as expansion of existing Franchises; governmental initiatives, in particular those relating to franchise regulation and taxation; and risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
