MOTO PHOTO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1998 ``UNAUDITED'' 1.In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the period covered in this report. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. 2.The internal accounting for the Company is on a fiscal calendar quarter basis. The fiscal quarter dates may vary from the calendar quarter dates, (i.e. March 28 vs. March 31 for the first quarter 1998), except for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31. The differences in interim periods are immaterial. 3.The first three months of the year are seasonally slower and do not represent 25% of the year. 4.In the first quarter 1998, $150,000 of dividends were paid on the Series G preferred shares. Of this amount $80,576 was for previously reported and accreted dividends. 5.In May 1998, the Company obtained a commitment for a new revolving line of credit which expires April 30, 2000. The line of credit provides for borrowings up to $2.0 million at prime rate plus .50%. The Company also received a commitment for a $1,250,000 term loan for capital expenditures. 6.Certain amounts from prior periods have been restated to conform to the current period presentation. 7.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FIRST QUARTER 1998 VS FIRST QUARTER 1997 The Company reported a net loss of $269,586 and a loss per common share, basic and diluted, of $.03 for the first quarter 1998 compared to a net loss of $126,833, and loss per common share, basic and diluted, of $.03 for the first quarter 1997. Per share calculations are made after provision for Series G preferred dividend requirements. Sales from Company stores were down 22.8% for the first quarter 1998 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to fewer stores in operation. The decrease was anticipated due to the sale of certain stores as franchises and the planned closing of other Company stores. Sales from comparable stores were 3.7% less in 1998 compared to 1997 due to a shift in the Easter holiday from March in 1997 to April in 1998 and a weak overall market. Company store cost of sales and operating expenses fell $678,000, or 20.6%, primarily due to fewer stores in operation. The cost of sales for comparable stores increased 2.1% as a percent of sales in 1998 compared to 1997 due primarily to heavier discounting. Merchandise sales decreased $406,000 or 11.6%, for the first quarter 1998 compared to the first quarter 1997 as a result of fewer system stores and weaker demand in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1997. Royalty revenues decreased $37,000, or 3.4%, for the first quarter 1998 compared to the first quarter 1997, primarily due to fewer reporting franchise stores. Franchise fees were down $24,000, or 51%. The company had two more franchise store openings in the first quarter 1997 than in the first quarter 1998. Investment income increased 5.4%, compared to the same period a year ago primarily due higher cash balance generating additional interest income. Telemarketing revenues were down $103,000 or 48% compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to emphasis on other marketing programs and planned reliance on less sales to non-franchisees. Advertising costs were down $27,000, or 9.6% due to reduced levels of Company store advertising. Interest expense is up $18,000, or 22%, due to higher levels of interest bearing debt. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash used in operating activities decreased by $1.7 million in 1998 compared to 1997 as the company reduced accounts payable and accrual balances in 1997. Reduction of accounts receivable on lower sales and tighter credit generated $590,000 more cash in 1998 compared to 1997 while an increase in inventory due to an atypical buy in of film required $200,000 of additional cash in 1998 compared to 1997. Cash of $420,000 was required for financing activities in 1998 to make debt payments of $270,000 and to pay preferred dividends of $150,000. In 1997, the Company had net borrowing of $1.9 million which was used to reduce accounts payable and accrued liabilities. In May 1998, the Company obtained a commitment for a new revolving line of credit which expires on April 30, 2000. The line provides for borrowing up to $2.0 million at prime rate plus .50%. The Company has also received a commitment for a $1,250,000 term loan for capital expenditures. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
