PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Jayark Corporation (the "Company") conducts its operations through two wholly
owned subsidiaries, AVES Audio Visual Systems, Inc. ("AVES") and Rosalco, Inc.
("Rosalco").
AVES distributes for resale, as well as rents, a broad range of audio visual,
video and communications equipment and supplies. Its customer base includes
schools, industry and hotels. The warehousing, sales and administrative
operations of AVES are located in Houston, Texas.
Rosalco distributes more than 300 different products, including occasional
furniture, brass beds, custom jewelry cases and accessories which are imported
from outside the continental United States. Rosalco also develops special
designs for several customers. Rosalco is headquartered in Jeffersonville,
Indiana.
The company was originally incorporated in New York in 1958. In 1991, the
Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware.
Recent Events
LCL
In June 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, LCL International
Traders, Inc. ("LCL"), acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of
the liabilities of a group of companies engaged in the importation and
distribution of seasonal and promotional merchandise.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, the Company experienced significant
problems with the acquisition, including, among other things, rapid and
significant deterioration of the acquired operations, as well as increasing
difficulty in financing the operations associated with the acquired assets. As
the fiscal year progressed the Company found the continued opeation of LCL to be
untenable.
Finally, in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, the
Company abandoned its investment in, and wrote off its advances to, LCL. As a
result, the Compnay incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately $4,700,000 in the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, which has been charged as a loss on
investment. LCL subsequently filed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On
August 1, 1996, after winding down its operations and liquidating its assets,
the Chapter 11 proceeding was dismissed on the ground that all of the Debtor's
assets have been liquidated.
During August 1995, the Company, LCL International Traders, Inc., and Rosalco,
each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Reimbursement
Agreement with: i) Ben Arnold Compnay, a corporation beneficially owned by
several members of the Burton I Koffman and Richard E. Koffman families
(including David L. Koffman, who is the president and a director of the Company,
and Joseph B. Koffman, a nominee for director) and Karen Cohen, the wife of
Arthur C. Cohen, a director of the Company who disclaims any beneficial
interest in Ben Arnold Compnay, ii) Ruthanne Koffman (the mother of David L.
Koffman and the wife of Burton I. Koffman), iii) Whitehorn Associates a New York
corporation, and iv) Joel Margolin (the Vice President of LCL) pursuant to which
each of Rosalco, Inc., Ben Arnold Company, Ruthanne Koffman, Whitehorn
Associates, and Joel Margolin agreed to provide to the CIT Group/Commercial
Services, Inc. ("CIT"), the primary lender to LCL Internation Traders, Inc.,
irrevocable standby letters of credit and cash in the aggregate amount of
$1,700,000 to serve as additional collateral against which CIT would lend
additional working capital to LCL pursuant to CIT's lending arrangements with
LCL. Each of Rosalco and Joel Margolin provided $500,000 in cash and letters of
credit, each of Ruthanne Koffman and the Ben Arnold Compnay provided $250,000 in
irrevocable standby letters of credit, and Whitehorn Associates provided a
$200,000 irrevocable standby letter of credit.
In consideration for providing the additional collateral, on February 28, 1996
the parties were to have received a total of 282,400 shares of Common Stock of
the Company in proportion to the amount of additional collateral initially
provided by them, as follows: Joel Margolin will be issued 117,600 shares; each
of Ruthanne Koffman and the Ben Arnold Company will be issued 58,800 shares; and
Whitehorn Associates will be issued 47,200 shares. As of the date of this
filing, no shares have yet been issued.
The arrangement with CIT for the additional financing secured by the additional
collateral expired on February 28, 1996. On that date, in the event that CIT
shall have applied any of the additional collateral to LCL's obligations to CIT,
LCL will reimburse the parties for the collateral so applied by CIT, such
reimbursement to be made in the ordinary course of business or in the event LCL
refinances its indebtedness. As of the date of this filing, no such
reimbursement has yet been made. Alternatively, the parties may at any time
after February 28, 1996 receive shares of the Company's Common Stock as
reimbursement for the collateral applied by CIT to LCL's obligations by CIT.
Each party would receive that number of shares that has as value equal to the
amount of such party's collateral that is applied by CIT; for purposes of the
agreement, the Company's Common Stock will be deemed to have a value of $1.25
per share.
In July 1996, CIT notified the parties that CIT was applying the additional
collateral to LCL's obligations. As a result of the application of the
collateral by CIT, the parties will receive the following shares of the
Company's Common Stock: Joel Margolin will be issued 400,000 shares; each of
Ruthanne Koffman and the Ben Arnold Company will be issued 200,000 shares; and
Whitehorn Associates will be issued 160,000 shares. As of the date of this
filing no shares have yet been issued.
Other
Aside from the above mentioned $4,700,000 loss on investment, the bankruptcy of
LCL has had an adverse effect on Rosalco's cash flow, as well as a negative
impact on relations with overseas suppliers. Rosalco has incurred a loss due to
declining sales and margins, increased operating costs and obsolete inventory
expense. After a thorough analysis, a reserve was established for the slow
moving items in inventory, and the entire charge to the Company has been
recognized in the current year. Management feels the reserve is adequate.
Currently, management is reviewing several inventory distributions alternatives
in order to maintain better inventory tracking methods and they anticipate that
the current mix of inventory will provide better margins for the Company in the
future.
Industry Segment Reporting
The following table states the revenues and operating profit for each segment of
the Company's business for the last three years ending April 30. Additional

Narrative Description of AVES' Business
Products
AVES distributes and rents a broad range of audio video and communications
equipment and supplies. Among the items distributed are movie, filmstrip and
slide projectors; projection screens and lamps; video cameras and systems; laser
videodisk, video projection, TV monitors and receivers; video systems; public
address systems, microphones and headsets; tape recorders, record players,
cassette recorders, and related accessories and supplies. Some of the items
sold (such as blank audio cassettes, headsets and cassette recorders,
duplicating equipment and supplies, laminating film and equipment for document
protection) are either assembled by AVES itself or purchased from private label
and other sole source suppliers and distributed under the "AVES" and "LAMCO"
names. AVES also distributes the products of brand name manufacturers such as
RCA, GE, Mitsubishi, Elmo, Panasonic, Ikegami, Videotek, Hitachi, Pioneer,
Dynatech, Leitch, Tektronix, Avid, Quasar, Telex Corporation, Kodak, Dukane,
Sharp, Sony, 3M Brand, Luxor and miscellaneous other brand names. Brand name
and "house" brand products account for approximately 95% and 5% of AVES sales,
respectively. The Company also offers repair services, audio visual consulting
& design, engineering, installation and servicing of audio visual systems to
businesses, hospitals and hotels.
Raw Materials
The sources and availability of raw materials are not significant for an
understanding of AVES' business since competitive products are obtainable from
alternative suppliers. AVES carries an inventory of merchandise for resale and
for rental operations that is adequate to meet the rapid delivery requirements
(frequently same day shipments) of its distribution business.
Patents
There are no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions that are
material to AVES' business.
Sales
AVES currently distributes and rents its products in the United States,
primarily by means of catalogs, telephone orders and a field sales force. Sales
of AVES are not seasonal, except that sales to schools typically are higher from
April through July than at other times during the year.
Customers
Approximately 70.2% of the AVES revenues in fiscal 1996 were from sales to
schools and other educational institutions. The remaining 29.8% came from the
rental of AVES systems primarily to hotels (approximately 3.8%), and sales to
business and industry (approximately 26.0%). In fiscal 1995, 69.5% of AVES
revenues were from sales to schools and other educational institutions. The
remaining 30.5% came from the rental of AVES systems primarily to hotels
(approximately 6.3%), and sales to business and industry (approximately 24.2%).
In fiscal 1994, 83.7% of AVES revenues were from sales to schools and other
educational institutions. The remaining 16.3% came from the rental of AVES
systems primarily to hotels (approximately 8.8%), and sales to business and
industry (approximately 7.5%).
Backlog
The amount of unfilled sales orders of AVES at April 30, 1996, was $443,000 as
compared to $472,000 at April 30, 1995. The amount of unfilled sales orders is
not a material measure of AVES' operations.
Competition
The Company believes that AVES is one of the most diversified national audio
visual purveyors in the United States, given the different types of services and
products offered by the subsidiary. AVES' principal means of competition are
its aggressive pricing, technical expertise, quick delivery and the broad range
of product lines available through its distribution channels.
Employees
At April 30, 1996, AVES had 24 employees.
Narrative Descriptive of Rosalco's Business
Products
Rosalco distributes popular merchandise in the furniture and accessories
markets. The product lines include beds (wood and brass), ready to assemble
wood occasional pieces, jewelry armoires,jewelry boxes and metal tubular beds
and brass plated accent pieces. Rosalco offers selections from more than 300
different products. The majority of the products sold by Rosalco are imported
from outside the continental United States. In addition to its available
product line, this subsidiary develops special designs for several customers.
Generally, these customers have exclusive rights to these designs for one year,
after which the subsidiary has the option to incorporate them into its product
line.
Raw Materials
The sources and availability of raw materials are not material for an
understanding of Rosalco's business, since competitive products are obtainable
from alternative suppliers. Rosalco carries a substantial inventory of
merchandise, which is generally adequate to meet its projected sales levels for
three months forward.
Patents
Rosalco owns one trademark, fifty-three design patents and one utility patent
with respect to various products. Rosalco does not believe that the loss of any
particular trademark, patent or copyright would materially affect its business.
Sales
Rosalco currently distributes its products in the United States through a field
sales force, exhibitions at various trade shows and product brochures. The
subsidiary's business is somewhat seasonal with higher sales occurring during
the fall, prior to the holiday season.
Customers
Rosalco provides its merchandise to more than 6,000 accounts nationwide.
Approximately 66% of revenues are from mail order catalog firms, catalog
showrooms, wholesale clubs and mass merchandisers. Furniture retailers account
for the remainder. During the last fiscal year, one customer accounted for
approximately 12.0% of subsidiary sales. During the prior fiscal year, the same
customer accounted for approximately 15.3% of subsidiary sales. The same
customer accounted for approximately 15.2% of subsidiary sales in fiscal 1994.
Backlog
Although backlog can be affected by the timing of receipt of merchandise
imported from overseas rather than changes in the volume of custmer orders,
backlog is not a material measure of operations for Rosalco. Unfilled orders
at April 30, 1996 were $7.2 million as compared to $3.5 million in the prior
year. Order backlog is continually changing, with the dynamic variables of
shipping schedules, "on the water" dock to stock time and customer ship dates.
Competition
Other companies offer similar products to those in Rosalco's line. Rosalco's
principal means of competition are its innovative products, customer service,
prompt shipment, the quality and trend-setting contemporary design of its
products and the broad range of products available through its distribution
channels.
Employees
At April 30, 1996, Rosalco had 74 employees.
Item 2. Properties
The Company's Corporate office is located in Houston, Texas in a modern, two
story, stone and glass building which includes adjoining parking for up to 50
cars. The Corporate office and the business of AVES are conducted from
approximately 13,000 square feet; 5,500 of which are used for office, sales and
demonstration purposes and 7,500 for warehouse purposes. The current lease term
expires on November 30, 2000. The current rental is $5,200 per month.
Rosalco operates from a 160,000 square foot facility located in Jeffersonville,
Indiana. The current rental is $18,433 per month with the lease expiring on
November 30, 2000.
The Company does not own any real property.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to certain pending legal proceedings, most of which are
ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its business. None of such legal
proceedings, in the opinion of the Company, is material to its business or
financial condition.
Item 4. Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the Company's
fiscal year ended April 30, 1996.

Item 7. Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Result
Of Operations
General Comments
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 1996, the Compnay recognized a consolidated
net loss after tax of $7,185,000. Two major factors contributed to the
significance of the loss. First, the Company has abandoned its investment in
and written off its advances in LCL International Traders, Inc. The financing
arrangement from LCL's lender was discontinued due to slow collection of
receivable balances form customers. Subsequently, LCL International Traders
Inc. filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection and has liquidated its assets.
The entire charge to the Company has been recognized in the current year.
Second, Rosalco has incurred a loss due to declining sales and margins,
increased operating costs and obsolete inventory expense. After a thorough
analysis, a reserve was established for the slow moving items in inventory, and
the entire charge to the Company has been recognized in the current year.
Management feels the reserve is adequate. Currently, management is reviewing
several inventory distribution alternatives in order to maintain better
inventory tracking methods and they anticipate that the current mix of
inventory will provide better margins for the Company in the future.
Comparison Of Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 1996 With Fiscal Year Ended April 30,
1995
Revenues
Consolidated Revenues of $44,005,000 decreased $4,388,000 or 9.1% from fiscal
1995. AVES increased its revenues by $224,000 or 1.9% from the prior reporting
year, due to the continued emphasis on increasing direct sales as opposed to
rental revenues, thus resulting in increased unit sales at a lower gross profit
margin as compared to rental gross profit. Rosalco's revenues decreased
$4,612,000 or 12.5% from the prior year, reflecting the very soft retail
environment as the retail economy has softened, as well as a change in product
mix, slower deliveries from overseas suppliers and credit restraints on
customers.
Cost of Revenues
Consolidated Cost of Revenues of $35,722,000 decreased $634,000 or 1.7% from
the prior fiscal year. AVES' cost of revenues increased $260,000 or 2.7%
reflecting the increase in sales volume. Total gross profit decreased an
aggregate of 1.7% from the prior fiscal year at the AVES. Rosalco decreased its
cost of revenues $894,000 or 3.3%, associated with the decreased sales volume
and was partially offset by a special charge of $650,000 for the writeoff of
certain inventory. The gross margin at Rosalco declined 37.5% due to a change in
product mix, and competitive pressures, combined with and increase in inventory
writedowns.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses of $10,364,000
increased $84,000 or .8% as compared to the prior reporting year. There was
a $46,000 or 3.2% decrease in AVES primarily due to a decrease in payroll and
related benefit costs. Rosalco recognized a $121,000 or 1.5% increase in
expenses. This is a result of an increase in general and administrative costs
principally due to bad debt expenses. Corporate expenses increased by $9,000
or 1.3% as compared to the prior year as a result of increases in general
business activity.
Interest Expense
Consolidated Interest Expense of $965,000 increased $72,000 or 8.1% primarily
due to the increase in the amount of short term borrowings, due to increased
inventory levels spawned by the decrease in sales, and increased cost of
borrowings.
Loss On Abandonment of Investment & Other Charges
The Company incurred a consolidated Loss On Investment of $4,728,000. The loss
of was incurred as a result of Corporate abandoning its investment in and
writing off its advances in certain assets and a business acquired in June,
1995. This expense was mainly comprised of writing off investment and wind down
costs such as payroll expenses and other accruals which were necessary for
proper liquidation.
Net Income
Consolidated Net Loss of $7,185,000 as compared to income of $773,000 decreased
$7,958,000 or 1,029.2% as a result of reduced revenues, writeoffs of investment
and increased operating expenses.
Comparison Of Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 1995 With Fiscal Year Ended April 30,
1994
Revenues
Consolidated Revenues of $48,394,000 decreased $1,743,000 or 3.5% from fiscal
1994. AVES increased its revenues by $2,038,000 or 21.2% from the prior
reporting year, due to the continued emphasis on increasing direct sales as
opposed to rental revenues, thus resulting in increased unit sales at a lower
gross profit margin as compared to rental gross profit. AVES continued to
expand its marketing efforts and target the "high tech" professional, industrial
and broadcast buyers in business and industry. The Advanced Video Technology
division, created last fiscal year, contributed approximately $1,886,000 to the
increase in sales at AVES. Rosalco revenues decreased $3,780,000 or 3.5% from
the prior year, reflecting the very soft retail environment. Out of warehouse
stock sales increased 3.5% from the prior fiscal year while container and direct
import sales decreased 17.9% and 34.3%, respectively.
Cost of Revenues
Consolidated Cost of Revenues of $36,356,000 decreased $1,988,000 or 5.2% from
the prior fiscal year. AVES' cost of revenues increased $1,758,000 or 22.7%
reflecting the increase in sales volume. Total gross profit increased an
aggregate of 15.8% from the prior fiscal year at AVES. Rosalco decreased its
cost of revenues $4,047,000 or 13.1%, associated with the decreased sales
volume. The gross margin Rosalco improved 1.2% from the prior fiscal year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Consolidated Selling, General and Administrative Expenses of $10,280,000
increased $598,000 or 6.2% as compared to the prior reporting year. Expenses
for the AVES increased $254,000 or 18.4% reflecting the increase in direct sales
expenses associated with the increased sales volume. Rosalco increased expenses
by $344,000 or 4.3% reflecting increased costs. The balance of the increase in
expense was associated with Corporate expense. Corporate expenses were
decreased by $1,000 compared to prior year.
Interest Expense
Consolidated Interest Expense of $893,000 increased $216,000 or 31.8% primarily
due to the increase in the amount of short term borrowings, due to increased
inventory levels spawned by the decrease in sales, and increased cost of
borrowings.
Pre-tax Net Earnings
The Company earned a Consolidated Pre-tax Profit (before income taxes) of
$1,239,000 as compared to last year's income before taxes of $1,551,000. A
decrease in earnings of $312,000 or 20.1% is a result of reduced revenues and
increased financing costs.
Discontinued Operations - Net of Income Taxes
Consolidated (Losses) (from discontinued operations - net of income tax) No
earnings or losses were recorded from discontinued operations for fiscal 1996,
as compared to a minimal loss ($36,000) the prior year.
Net Income
Consolidated Net Income of $773,000 as compared to $1,052,000 decreased $279,000
or 26.5% as a result of reduced revenues, increased financing costs, and
increased operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 30, 1996, consolidated open lines of credit available to the Company
for borrowing, were $1,558,000 as compared to $2,113,000 at April 30, 1995. It
is the opinion of the Company's management that operating expenses, as well as
obligations coming due during the next fiscal year, will be met primarily by
cash flow generated from operations and from available borrowing levels.
Working Capital
Working capital amounted to $3,412,000 at April 30, 1996, compared to $8,784,000
at April 30, 1995. The decrease in working capital is largely due to the
operating loss incurred in the current year. For purposes of the statements of
cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At April 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994, cash equivalents consisted of agreements to repurchase,
certificates of deposit, and money market accounts in the amounts of $0,
$808,230, and $113,036,respectively.
Net cash used in operating activities was $4,528,000 in 1996, compared to
$1,972,000 in 1995. The change was due principally to recognizing a net loss,
combined with increases in account receivable and inventories, and recognizing a
future tax refund. This change was offset by increases in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $66,000, compared to $87,000 in 1995.
The change was primarily due realizing no proceeds from the sale of
property and equipment, offset by lower capital expenditures in 1996.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,951,000, compared to $2,458,000
in 1995. The change was due to proceeds increasing the line of credit with the
In January of 1992, the Company renewed and extended a financing arrangement
with State Street Bank and Trust Company to make available a total of
$20,300,000 in combination of revolving lines of credit and term loans. Over
the course of the next several years, the financing arrangement was amended with
the availability ranging from $13,000,000 to $16,325,000.
The current financing arrangement was further amended in April 1996: The loan
agreement was revised to reflect the renewal and extension of the maturity dates
of lines of credit to April 1997, to approve the repayment schedule of the
Company's subordinated convertible debentures, to reflect the payoff of the term
loans, and to make available a total of $11,500,000 maximum in revolving lines
of credit. Rosalco has a line of $10,000,000 and AVES has a line of $1,500,000,
with interest charged at prime plus 1 3/4% for Rosalco, and prime plus 1% for
AVES.
In September 1996, the current financing arrangement was further amended to
increase Rosalco's line of credit to $11,000,000. The $1,000,000 seasonal
overadvance is available through October 31, 1996, and thereafter the line of
credit reverts back to $10,000,000. In consideration for the seasonal advance,
certain related parties advanced an adiitional $50,000 to the Company in
September 1996, which was applied to Rosalco's outstanding line of credit. The
related party advances now totaling $1,000,000 are payable on demand and
interest is paid monthly at prime plus 2 1/2%.
A combination of funds available through line of credit sources, anticipated
cash flows from operations and existing cash balances is expected to provide
adequate funds to meet planned requirements for the coming year.
Currently, the Company is not in compliance with the financial covenants as set
forth in the loan agreement. However, the Company has obtained a waiver on the
covenants from the bank through October 1996. The Company is negotiating with
the bank to reestablish covenants to avoid furute noncompliance.
The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of April 30,
1996.
Impact of Inflation
Management of the Company believes that inflation has not significantly impacted
either net sales or net earnings during the year ended April 30, 1996. The
Company has generally been able to pass along price increases from its
manufacturers.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jayark Corporation
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All material intercompany
profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The accounts of purchased companies are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the dates of acquisition. The excess of cost over the fair
value of net assets of businesses acquired is being amortized using the straight
line method over a 40 year period commencing with the dates of acquisition.
Inventories
Inventories comprise finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first
in, first out) method or market.
Property and Equipment, Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, ranging from approximately 3 to 20 years. On sale or retirement, the
cost of assets sold or retired and related accumulated depreciation or
amortization is eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
included in operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred;
expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized and amortized by
charges to operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded when products are shipped. Allowances are recorded for
estimated returns and losses.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date.
Effective May 1, 1993, as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", the Company adopted the asset and liability method and reported the
cumulative effect of that change in the method of accounting for income taxes
in the 1994 consolidated statement of operations.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per common share for the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994 were
computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods. Common
equivalent shares include shares that would be issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding stock options reduced by the number of shares that are assumed to be
repurchased by the Company with the proceeds from the exercise of the stock
options. The shares purchased by the Company are assumed to be purchased at the
average market price during the respective period for primary earnings and at
the higher of the average market price or period-end price for fully diluted
earnings per share. Fully diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion of
the 12% convertible subordinated debentures issued in December 1989 (see Note
6).
For the year ended April 30, 1996, net loss per share is calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For
purposes of the calculation, the shares to be issued in connection with the LCL
investment (see Note 13) were considered as issued on April 30, 1996. The
conversion of the subordinated debentures and assumed exercise of options have
not been considered in the computation, since the effects were determined to be
anti-dilutive.
Changes in Financial Presentation
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1995 and 1994 financial
statements to conform to the presentation used in 1996.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At April 30, 1996 and 1995, cash equivalents consisted of
agreements to repurchase, certificates of deposits, and money market accounts
in the amounts of $0 and $808,230, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumption that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
(a) Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are evaluated for
impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such
impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to their fair
value. This policy is in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. No write-downs have been necessary through April 30,
1996.
(b) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company does not presently intend to adopt the fair value based method
for accounting for stock compensation plans, as permitted by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", which is effective for transactions entered into fiscal
years that begin after December 15, 1995.
(2) Related Party Transactions
Accrued salaries and deferred compensation payable to related parties includes
unpaid salaries, bonuses, and deferred compensation to officers and directors
amounting to $65,218 and $60,500 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Interest expense relating to notes payable to certain related parties was
$150,868, $60,736, and $52,012 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(3) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are summarized as follows:
April 30, 1996 April 30, 1995
-------------- --------------
Machinery and equipment $899,622 $870,579
Furniture and fixtures 448,040 462,252
Leasehold improvements 400,178 406,171
Automobiles and trucks 218,423 218,423
Rental and demonstration equipment 87,400 950,795
-------------- --------------
Total property and equipment 2,053,663 2,908,220
Less accumulated depreciation and 1,272,397 1,919,618
amortization
-------------- --------------
Net property and equipment $781,266 $988,602
============== ==============
(4) Notes Payable & Lines of Credit
At April 30, 1996, notes payable represented a line of credit with a bank under
a financing agreement that permits the Company to borrow up to an aggregate
amount of $11,500,000 (or the borrowing base as defined in the agreement).
During fiscal 1995, the Company paid off its term loan obligation and
renegotiated the notes payable, which resulted in an increase in the interest
rate from the lender's prime rate plus 3/4% in 1995 to prime rate plus 1% to
1 1/4% in 1996. The notes are secured by the Company's accounts receivable and
inventories.
The notes, which are payable on demand, restrict the payment of dividends and
contain various financial covenants, as follows: a limit of capital
expenditures, debt to capital base, current ratio and minimum net earnings.
The covenants are measured on a quarterly basis. As of April 30, 1996, the
Company was in violation of some of these covenants.
On April 29, 1996, the Company renegotiated the terms of the agreement. The
new agreement terms provide for monthly interest terms at prime rate plus 1% to
1 3/4%. Certain covenants are expected to be in violation subsequent to April
30, 1996 and the Company received a waiver through October 1996 of these
violations. The Company plans to enter into negotiations with the bank to
reestablish covenant levels for future reporting periods.
At April 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company had letters of credit outstanding
amounting to $1,213,193 and $2,502,269, respectively. These letters of credit
were issued primarily for the purchase of inventory from foreign sources.
(5) Long Term Debt
Long term debt is summarized as follows:
Description April 30, 1996 April 30, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------- -------------- --------------
Notes payable to a bank with interest rates ranging
from 7 1/4% to 9%, maturity dates ranging from
December 1995 to January 1999, collateralized by
vehicles. 42,154 66,208
Note payable to City of Jeffersonville with interest
rate of 4.5%, maturing in August 2002, collateralized
by computer equipment. 68,424 0
-------------- --------------
Total Long term debt 110,578 66,208
Less: Current maturities of long term debt 38,558 23,580
-------------- --------------
Long term debt, excluding current maturities $72,020 $42,628
============== ==============
Aggregate yearly maturities of long term debt for the years after April 30, 1995
are as follows:
1997 $38,558
1998 17,331
1999 17,781
2000 10,931
2001 11,433
Thereafter 14,544
-------
Total $110,578
=======
(6) Subordinated Debentures
On December 19, 1989, the Company issued $2,000,000 of 12% convertible
subordinated debentures to affiliates of the Company due December 1995. The
maturity date on these debentures has been extended until December 1999.
Interest on the outstanding balance is paid semiannually on April 30 and
October 31. The debentures may be converted into shares of the Company's stock
at a price of $1.50 per share at any time prior to maturity. At April 30, 1996,
933,333 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for the conversion
feature. The debentures will automatically convert into shares of the Company's
stock at the conversion price in effect at such time in the event that the
average closing sale price of the Company stock for any period of thirty
consecutive trading days was equal to or exceeded $2.25 per share. Through
April 30, 1996, the Company retired $600,000 of the debentures.
(7) Income Taxes
Income tax expense (benefit) (relating to Federal taxes) attributable to income
taxes consists of:
Year ended April 30, Current Deferred Total
- -------------------- ---------- -------- ----------
1996 ($583,676) $0 ($583,676)
1995 $188,856 $277,283 $466,139
1994 $539,295 $31,084 $570,379
The tax benefit recorded in 1996 represents the taxes refundable from prior
years due to the carryback of the current year's loss.
At April 30, 1996, the Company had, for federal tax reporting purposes, net
operating loss carryforwards totaling $2,500,000, expiring in 2011.
The actual tax expense (benefit) attributable to continuing operations for
differs from the "expected" tax expense (computed by applying the U.S. corporate
rate of 34%) as follows:
Description 1995 1994 1993
- ------------------------------------------------- ------------ -------- --------
Tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate ($2,641,434 $421,407 $527,241
Increase in valuation allowance (due primarily to 1,889,000 0 0
nonutilization of net operating loss)
Officers' life insurance 27,000 26,684 26,684
Permanent and other differences 141,758 18,048 16,454
------------ -------- --------
Total expense (benefit) provided ($583,676) $466,139 $570,379
============ ======== ========
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets at April 30, 1996 and 1995 are presented below:
Description 1996 1995
- ----------------------------------------------------- --------- --------
Accruals in connection with abandonment of investment $506,000 $0
Bad debt reserve 254,000 169,000
Inventory uniform capitalization adjustment 130,000 127,000
Plant and equipment, depreciation differences 48,000 41,000
Inventory reserves 442,000 11,000
Net operating losses 857,000 0
--------- --------
Subtotal 2,237,000 348,000
Valuation allowance 1,889,000 0
--------- --------
Total deferred tax assets $348,000 $348,000
========= ========
Management believes that the remaining portion of the deferred tax asset will
more likely than not be fully realized based on the Company's historical
earnings and future expectations of adjusted taxable income.
(8) Leases
The Company has several operating leases that expire at various dates ranging
through November 2000. Future minimum lease payments related to operating
leases are detailed as follows:
Year ending April 30, Operating leases
--------------------- ----------------
1997 $578,297
1998 507,633
1999 481,406
2000 387,547
2001 191,853
Thereafter 0
----------------
Total minimum lease payments $2,146,736
================
Total rental expense for operating leases was approximately $475,000, $283,000,
and $584,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(9) Industry Segments
The Company operated in two industries during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994: (i)
distributor of audio-visual and video equipment and supplies, primarily to
schools and industry ("AVES"); and (ii) importer and distributor of furniture
and other products ("Rosalco"). There are no inter-segment sales or sales to
foreign customers.
The following is a summary of the Company's operations in different industries

Effective September 17, 1994 and approved at the annual stockholders' meeting in
1994, the 1994 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director's Plan")
was adopted and 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock reserved for
issuance under the Director's Plan. The Director's Plan provides for the
automatic grant of nontransferable options to purchase common stock to
nonemployee directors of the Company, on the date immediately preceding the date
of each annual meeting of stockholders in which an election of directors is
concluded. Each nonemployee director then in office will receive options
exercisable for 5,000 shares (or a pro rata share of the total number of shares
still available under the Director's Plan). No option may be granted under the
Director's Plan after the date of the 1998 annual meeting of stockholders.
Options issued pursuant to the Director's Plan are exercisable at an exercise
price equal to not less than 100% of the fair market value (as defined in the
Director's Plan) of shares of common stock on the day immediately preceding the
date of the grant. Options are vested and fully exercisable as of the dat of
the grant. Unexercised options expire on the earlier of (i) the date that is
ten years from the date on which they were granted, (ii) the date which is three
calendar months from the date of the termination of the optionee's directorship
for any reason other than death or disability (as defined in the Director's
Plan), or (iii) one year from the date of the optionee's disability or death
while serving as a director.
Option activity under the Plan is as follows:

(11) Major Customers
At April 30, 1995 no customer's sales was greater than 10% of the Company's
total sales. In 1994, sales to one customer represented 12% of total sales.
(12) Treasury Stock
Subsequent to the purchase of a subsidiary in 1989, an indemnity claim was made
by the Company to reduce the purchase price because certain asset and income
items were not recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The settlement of the indemnity claim resulted in a reduction in
the purchase price of the Household subsidiary of approximately $513,002 and the
receipt and subsequent cancellation of approximately 400,398 shares of the
Company's common stock.
Subsequent to the Company's announcement of its stock repurchase plan during the
third quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company purchased 319,200 and 127,430 shares
of the Company's common stock during the years ended April 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
During fiscal 1995, 720,581 shares of Company's common stock, which was
comprised of 575,030 treasury shares and 145,551 of newly issued shares were
distributed as part of the consideration given in acquiring a certain sales
commission agreement between the Company, the Company's discontinued Sportswear
subsidiary and Stage II Apparel Corp., a New York corporation. The stock issued
was then distributed by the Sportswear subsidiary to certain related parties and
affiliates in partial settlement of certain promissory notes existing between
the Sportswear subsidiary and the related parties and affiliates.
(13) Loss on Abandonment of Investment
On June 27, 1995, LCL International Traders, Inc., ("LCL"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Jayark Corporation ("Jayark"), completed the acquisition of
substantially all the assets and business of a group of affiliated companies
engaged in the import and distribution of seasonal and promotional merchandise.
The sellers, located in Hong Kong and Central Islip, New York, have operated
under the trade names "Liberty Bell Christmas", "Ivy Mar", "Creative Home
Products" and "Award Manufacturing". LCL acquired these trade names as part of
the transaction.
The purchase price for the acquisition comprised the following: issue of
1,000,000 common shares of Jayark to the sellers, cash paid by LC of $3,000,000,
a note payable by LCL to the sellers for $3,000,000 and the assumption of
certain liabilities of the sellers. The Company advanced $1,000,000 to LCL in
connection with the cash portion of the purchase price. LCL obtained a credit
facility for the balance of the cash portion of the purchase price.
During August 1995, Jayark, LCL and Rosalco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Jayark, entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with certain related third
parties to provide to The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. ("CIT"), the
primary lender to LCL, irrevocable standby letters of credit and cash in the
aggregate amount of $1,700,000 to serve as additional collateral against which
CIT would lend additional working capital to LCL pursuant to CIT's lending
arrangements with LCL.
In consideration for providing the additional collateral, the guarantors will
receive share of common stock of the Company in proportion to the amount of
additional collateral initially provided by them. Excluding the shares
attributable to Rosalco, the Company is obligated to issue a total of 282,400
shares of its common stock to the guarantors.
The arrangement with CIT for the additional financing secured by the additional
collateral expired on February 28, 1996. The arrangement indicated that on that
date, in the event that CIT shall have applied any of the additional collateral
to LCL's obligations to CIT, LCL would reimburse the parties for the collateral
so applied by CIT. Alternatively, the parties may at any time after February
28, 1996 receive shares of the Company's common stock as reimbursement for the
collateral applied by CIT to LCL's obligations by CIT. Each party would receive
that number of shares that has a value equal to the amount of such party's
collateral that is applied by CIT. Excluding the shares attributable to
Rosalco, the Company is obligated to issue a total of 960,000 shares of its
common stock to the guarantors.
During fiscal 1996, the Company abandoned the investment in LCL, which in turn
has filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Due to the nature of the investment and the short period of operation of LCL,
the operations of LCL have not been consolidated with the Company's operations.
Rather, the Company has provided for all realized and expected losses on the
abandonment, summarized as follows:
Description Amount
---------------------------------------------------- ----------
Value of shares issued $1,156,250
Cash paid 1,000,000
Provision for issuance of shares to guarantors 500,000
(using the most recent quoted stock price)
Rosalco obligation under the reimbursement agreement 500,000
Anticipated costs of abandonment 1,572,186
----------
Total loss on abandonment $4,728,436

(14) Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial unstruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable
approximated fair value as of April 30, 1996 due to the short maturity of these
items. The fair value of the convertible debentures is not reasonably
determinable.
(15) Fourth Quarter Adjustments
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company made the following
significant adjustments to reported earnings:
Increase in accounts receivable reserves $550,000
Increase in inventory reserves 1,195,534
