NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000 and 1999
(Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accounting policies followed by quarterly financial reporting are the
same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's report on Form 10K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1999.
2. INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Inventory at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of
finished goods.
3. INCOME /(LOSS)PER SHARE:
Income (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for
each period. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, common equivalent
shares include the dilutive effect of stock options using the treasury stock
method.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial condition and results of
operation during the period included in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISK
This quarterly report may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.These
forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, certain of which
are beyond the Company's control. Actual results could differ materially
from these forward-looking statements as a result of such risks and
uncertainties , including, among others, general economic conditions,
governmental regulation and competitive factors, and, more specifically,
interest rate levels availability of financing, consumer confidence and
preferences, the effectiveness of the Company's competitors, and costs of
materials and labor. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can
be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this
quarterly report will in fact transpire.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital has a deficit of approximately 3,120,000 at March 31, 2000,
an increase of approximately $175,000 from December 31, 1999. The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities at March 31, 2000 was .61 to 1, as
compared to .63 to 1 at December 31, 1999. The Company has met its working
capital requirements for the three months ended March 31, 2000 primarily from
internally generated funds and the use of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company utilizes a revolving credit facility with Congress Financial
Corporation ("Congress") providing for borrowings up to $7,500,000 which
expires on December 31, 2000. Maximum borrowings are tied by formula to
eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is charged on
outstanding borrowings at prime plus 2.5%. This credit facility is secured
by all the accounts receivable and inventories of the Company.. As of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, borrowings outstanding under this
credit facility amounted to approximately $ 1,548,000 and $1,948,000,
respectively, and are classified as current liabilties.
This credit facility with Congress contains certain restrictive covenants.
The minimum net worth requirements were not met by the Company as of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. However, the lender has waived the
minimum net worth requirements through December 31, 2000. Management
anticipates that this credit facility may be renegotiated or extended during
2000.
The Company has another credit facility from a financial institution in the
amount of $750,000 which is due on demand.. Interest is charged on
outstanding borrowings at prime plus 1%. The company commenced borrowings
under this line in 1997. As of March 31, 2000 borrowings outstanding under
this credit facility amounted to $750,000. In addition to this credit
facility the Company borrowed from the same institution $1,520,000 that was
used primarily to pay off the second mortgage on the land and building to
Congress Financial and to pay off the loan on the first mortgage to First
Union. The balance of the note on March 31,2000 was $1240,000.
The company has another credit line from a financial institution in the
amount of $800,000 due on demand. Interest is charged on outstanding
borrowings at prime plus 2%. As of March 31, 2000 borrowings under this line
of credit amounted to $799,000. This line of credit facility is secured by a
subsidiary's accounts receivable and inventory.
The Company, during 1992, obtained an additional credit facility from a
inancial institution in the amount of $1,200,000. This facility was
collateralized by $300,000 in interest-bearing deposits and interest is
charged on outstanding borrowing at prime plus 2.5%, which funds were used
to pay down the loan during l996. At March 31,2000 and December 31, 1999
borrowings under this line amounted to $18,000 and $212,00 respectively.
Management believes that through existing credit facilities and the
continued commitment by the Company's principal stockholder to provide
additional financing at his discretion, the Company will be able to meet its
working capital requirements during 2000.
FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company's stockholders' equity show a deficit on March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999 for $3,147,000 and $2,968,000 respectively. During first
quarter of 1999, management continued to implement its plan to reduce the
Company's losses. In the first quarter of 2000 the Company continued selling
the new line of TVs and Audio equipment under the name of "Memorex" in the
canadian market, which they started last year . It is anticipated that the
addition of this new line of products will provide an improvement in the
profitability of the Company. However, the Company's ability to successfully
implement its plan to reduce losses is dependent upon a number of factors
beyond its control. Theses factors include the overall retail climate and
competition, the success of new products and sales efforts, and fluctuation
in the supply and costs of products sold. There can be no assurance that the
Company's sales, gross margins operating results or financial condition will
improve during 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES
Sales for the first quarter of 2000 increased by approximately $432,000 or
46% compared to the corresponding period in 1999. Sales increased mainly
due to the increased of direct import sales.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin as percentage of sales was approximately 10.0% in the first
quarter of 2000 as compared to approximately 21.0% for the same period in
1999. This decreased is attributed mainly to a distorsion produced as a
result of a higher volume of direct import sales.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2000
decreased by $59,000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1999. This
decrease has been the continuation in the effort of the Company in reducing
the cost of the its operation.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER COSTS
Interest expense and other costs decreased by $106,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the corresponding period in 1999.
This decrease is primarily attributed to an overall reduction in interest
expense resulting from a decrease in average borrowings during the first
quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 .
NET LOSS AND INCOME
The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $179,000 for the quarter
ending March 31, 2000 compared to net loss of $286,000 for the same period
in 1999. This reduction in the loss can primarily be attributed to the
explanation given in the above paragraph
