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 was approximately ($1,071,000) at June 30, 1998, a reduction
of approximately $191,000 from December 31, 1997. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities at June 30, 1998 was .83 to 1, as compared
to .88 to 1 at December 31, 1997. The Company has met its working capital
requirements for the six months ended June 30, 1998 primarily from a
combination of internally generated funds and the used 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, 1998. 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 assets of the Company except for the Company' land and
building in the United States. As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
borrowings outstanding under this credit facility amounted to approximately
$ 2,028,,000 and $3,160,000, respectively, and are classified as current
liabilities.
This credit facility with Congress contains certain restrictive covenants.
The minimum net worth requirements were not met by the Company as of
June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. However, the lender has waived the
minimum net worth requirements through December 31, 1997. The Company may
not meet this covenant during 1998. Management anticipates that this
credit facility may be renegotiated or extended in 1998.
The Company, during 1996, obtained an additional credit facility from a
financial institution in the amount of $750,000, expiring on
December 1 ,2001. This credit facility is secured by a second mortgage on
the Company's land and building in the United States. Interest is charged
on outstanding borrowings at the prime rate plus 1%. As of June 30, 1998
and December 31,1997 borrowings outstanding under this credit facility
were $750,000. In addition to this credit facility the Company maintains
from the same institution a note payable in the amount of 1,366,000.
The note bears interest at prime plus 1% and expires on December 2001.
The Company maintains an additional line of credit from a financial
instituion in the amount of $800,000 due on demand. Interest is charged
on outstanding borrowings at prime plus 2%. As of December 31, 1997 and
June 30,1998 borrowings under this line of credit amounted to $679,000
and $799,000 respectively . This line of credit facility is secured by a
subsidiary's account receivable and inventory.
The Company, during 1992, obtained an additional credit facility from a
financial 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 borrowings at prime plus 2.5%, which deposits were
used to pay down the loan during l996. At June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 borrowings under this line amounted to $262,000 and
$302,000 respectively. As of June 30, 1998 there were no open letters of
credit under this line. The Company has an agreement with the lender to
pay off the loan by December 1998 at the rate of 10% .
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 1998.
FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company's stockholders' equity at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
was ($828,000) and ($532,000), respectively. During the second quarter
of 1998, management started to implement the new line of TVs and Audio
equipment under the name of "Memorex" in the canadian market. As a result
of this , the second quarter shows a slight sign of improvement in the
Income Statement 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. These 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 or financial condition will improve
during fiscal year 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES
Sales for the second quarter of 1998 decreased by approximately $818,000
or 19% compared to the corresponding period in 1997. Sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 decreased by approximately $1,176,000 or 15% as
compared to the corresponding period in 1997. The decrease in sales for the
six months period ended June 30,1998 was due primarily to a reduction in
sales to Walmart. Sales to Walmart dropped in the first quarter from 17.4%
in 1997 to 11.8% of total sales in 1998, which represents a total
approximately of $600,000.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was approximately 21.5% in the
second quarter of 1998 as compared to approximately 24.2% for the same
period in 1997.Gross margin as a percentage of sales approximated 20.0%
for the six months ended June 30,1998 as compared to 28.1% for the
corresponding period in 1997. This decrease is attributed mainly due to
a distortion produced by the volume of sales in cellular phones . This
product has only a gross margin between 2% and 3%.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1998
decreased by $482,000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997.
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended
June 30, 1998 decreased by $792,000 as compared to the corresponding period
in 1997. This decrease has been the result of the effort of the Company in
reducing the cost of the its operation.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER COSTS
Interest expense and other costs increased by approximately $121,000 during
the second quarter of 1998 compared to the corresponding period in 1996.
Interest expense and other costs also increased by approximately $173,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1997. This increase is primarily attributed to an overall
increase in interest expense resulting from an increase in the average
balance of borrowings during the first and second quarter of 1998 as
compared the same period in 1997.
NET LOSS AND INCOME
The Company had a net income of approximately $79,000 for the second
quarter ending June 30, 1998 compared to net income of $ 16,000 for the
same period in 1997. During the six months ended June 30, 1998,the company
had a net loss of approximately ($255,000) as compared to net income
of 1,000 for the same period in 1997. The improvement noted in the second
quarter can be primarily attributed to the sales of Memorex Audio
Equipments. However, the loss sustained in the six months period is due
to the reduction in sales to Walmart as well as the decrease in gross
margin.
