The accompanying financial information of the Company is prepared in accordance with the rules prescribed for filing condensed interim financial statements and, accordingly, does not include all disclosures that may be necessary for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The disclosures presented are sufficient, in management's opinion, to make the interim information presented not misleading. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary so as to make the interim information not misleading, have been made. Results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 1998. It is recommended that this financial information be read with the complete financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 28, 1997 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. -5- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended August 31, 1997 as Compared to Three months ended August 31, 1996 Net sales for the three months ended August 31, 1997 ("Second Quarter Fiscal 1998") were $560,027, a 18.5% increase from net sales of $472,678 for the three month period ended August 31, 1996 ("Second Quarter Fiscal 1997"). The net sales increase during the Second Quarter Fiscal 1998 as compared to the Second Quarter Fiscal 1997 is the result of a decrease of $15,420 or 5.6% in surgical product sales from $275,404 to $259,984 offset by an increase of $102,769 or 52.1% in electrotherapy product sales from $197,274 to $300,043. The net loss for the Second Quarter Fiscal 1998 was $256,599, a decrease of $878,930 from a net loss of $1,135,529 for the Second Quarter Fiscal 1997. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to the increase in net sales and the corresponding increase in gross profit coupled with a one time $695,712 expense related to the settlement of litigation and legal expenses in the approximate amount of $100,000 which were incurred in connection with the Company's various litigation proceedings during the Second Quarter Fiscal 1997. Six months ended August 31, 1997 as Compared to Six months ended August 31, 1996 Net sales for the six months ended August 31, 1997 ("Six Months Fiscal 1998") were $1,209,567, a 14.4% increase from net sales of $1,057,631 for the six months ended August 31, 1996 ("Six Months Fiscal 1997"). The net sales increase during the Six Months Fiscal 1998 as compared to the Six Months Fiscal 1997 is the result of an increase of $200,095 or 42.8% in electrotherapy product sales from $467,088 to $667,183 coupled with a decrease of $48,159 or 8.2% in surgical product sales from $590,543 to $542,384. The increase in sales for the electrotherapy product line can be primarily attributed to the receipt of two non-cancelable purchase orders from Henley Healthcare ("Henley") in the approximate aggregate amount of $600,000. During the Six Months Fiscal 1997 the Company had approximately $265,000 in sales to Henley. Consistent with the Company's efforts to increase sales, in August 1997, the Company signed a three year $1,200,000 exclusive manufacturing agreement with Henley appointing the Company as the sole developer and manufacturer of Henley's patented SYNAPS/T.E.A.M. Analgesia unit. Since the sale of the wound care product line in December 1995, the Company's acquisition search efforts have increased significantly as the focus remains in the identification and review of a number of candidates. In addition, to help us grow through acquisitions, in July 1997, the Company obtained a $2.5 million line of credit from NationsCredit Commercial Corporation, A NationsBank Company. Gross profit was $624,731 or 51.6% of net sales for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 as compared to $616,894 or 58.3% of net sales for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily due to the increase in electrotherapy product sales. In general, the electrotherapy product line generates lower gross profits than the surgical product line. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 were $824,277, a 22.6% decrease from SG&A expenses of $1,064,292 for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 as compared to the Six Months Fiscal 1997 is primarily due to legal expenses incurred during the Six Months Fiscal 1997 which were not repeated during the Six Months Fiscal 1998. In addition, lower SG&A expenses were experienced for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 due to the Company's implementation in June 1997 of a restructuring plan involving a reduction of personnel, a Company wide reduction in salaries, and an overall cost containment program. Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 were $5,105, a 80.7% decrease from R&D expenses of $26,500 for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. In Fiscal 1997, the Company R&D efforts were focused on its redesign of the TENS units resulting in increased quality and lower product cost for the electrotherapy product line. -6- Depreciation and amortization ("D&A") expenses for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 were $145,249, a 22.9% increase from D&A expenses of $118,227 for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. During the Six Months Fiscal 1998, D&A expenses increased due to the amortization of $127,500, over a two year period and $108,000 over a four year period, resulting from the issuance of common stock and warrants in payment of loan costs. See " - Liquidity and Capital Resources". Total other expense for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 was $51,985, a decrease of $68,804 from total other expense of $120,789 for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. The decrease in total other expense is primarily due to the reduction of $85,000 in accrued liabilities offset by an increase of $8,847 in net interest expense resulting primarily from higher loan balances and banking expenses to the Company's primary lender. As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 was $401,885, a decrease of $1,006,741 from a net loss of $1,408,626 for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. The decrease in net loss for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 as compared to the Six Months Fiscal 1997 is primarily due to the decrease in SG&A expenses, a settlement expense in the amount of $695,712 incurred during the Six Months Fiscal 1997 which was not repeated during the Six Months Fiscal 1998 and a decrease in total other expense as discussed above. Primary loss per share was $.50 for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 as compared to a primary loss per share of $2.09 for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. Fully diluted loss per share, which assumes all dilutive preferred share conversions and the exercise of all dilutive stock options and warrants, was $.50 for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 as compared to fully diluted loss of $2.09 per share for the Six Months Fiscal 1997. The primary and fully diluted income per share computation for the Six Months Fiscal 1998 reflect accrued dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which were paid in September 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, the Company's primary sources of working capital have been revenues from operations, bank and private party loans and proceeds from the sale of securities. As of August 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6,500,000. Availability of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will expire at various dates through the year 2012. The Company's working capital at August 31, 1997 was $1,278,156 as compared to $1,066,176 at February 28, 1997. The Company's working capital position increased by $211,980. On or about November 20, 1996, Tecnol initiated an arbitration action against the Company before the American Arbitration Association. Tecnol asserted claims allegedly arising out of Tecnol's purchase of the Company's medical product line in December 1995. On March 12, 1997, the Company settled the arbitration action initiated by Tecnol. Under the settlement agreement Tecnol paid the Company $575,000 in consideration for the cancellation by the Company of a $665,000 note due from Tecnol and the dismissal with prejudice of the arbitration action by both parties. On March 19, 1997, the Company repaid $575,000 against the amount of $740,000 in principal and accrued interest owing under a $600,000 promissory note issued to Halstead LLC ("Halstead"), a company controlled by Charles C. Johnston ("Mr. Johnston"), a principal stockholder of the Company. This amount was required to be paid by the Company upon the Company's negotiated settlement with Tecnol which resulted in Tecnol paying the Company $575,000. On that same date, the Company issued Halstead a promissory note in the principal amount of $165,000 bearing 12% interest per annum due December 1997. The $165,000 promissory note represents the remaining principal amount owed of $25,000 plus the $140,000 in accrued interest under the $600,000 note. The promissory note is personally guaranteed by Mr. Reiner. On March 20, 1997, the Company borrowed $375,000 from J&C Resources, Inc. ("J&C Resources"), a company controlled by Mr. Johnston evidenced by a promissory note bearing 15% interest per annum due in March 1999. The promissory note is personally guaranteed by Mr. Reiner. In connection with the financing, -7- the Company issued J&C Resources 50,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase up to 16,667 shares of its Common Stock exercisable at $.60 per share at any time until March 17, 2001. The Company also entered into a two year consulting agreement with J&C Resources in which the Company is required to pay J&C Resources $50,000 per year for consulting services. In April 1997, the Company entered into a debt repayment agreement with Mr. Reiner. The amounts owed by Mr. Reiner will be repaid at varying amounts through April 2004. In addition, all amounts owed by Mr. Reiner are extended to April 2004 and no interest will be charged on the notes owed by Mr. Reiner and the Company will reimburse Mr. Reiner for certain income tax related considerations. In June 1997, the Company amended its debt repayment agreement with Mr. Reiner increasing the repayment amount for the next twelve months from approximately $24,000 to $50,000. Due to the increase in payments from Mr. Reiner to the Company, the notes and accounts receivable from Mr. Reiner are being presented as a long term asset rather than a reduction of stockholders' equity in the financial statements as presented on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 28, 1997 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In May 1997, the Company entered into a working capital credit facility agreement with Mr. Reiner pursuant to which Mr. Reiner is providing the Company with up to $200,000 in working capital on an as needed basis. Working capital advances are evidenced by demand promissory notes bearing 12% interest per annum due the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days from the advance; (ii) the closing of a minimum of $1,000,000 equity or debt financing by the Company; or (iii) Mr. Reiner's demand with a five day notice to the Company. The promissory notes are subordinated to the Company's senior lender with a junior lien on all assets of the Company. In connection with the financing, the Company gave Mr. Reiner the right to convert any portion of the outstanding amount owed into the Company's Common Stock at 75% of the average closing bid price during the five (5) business days prior to the conversion as reported by Nasdaq. In addition, the Company issued Mr. Reiner a warrant to purchase up to 97,000 shares of its common stock exercisable at $1.28 per share at any time until May 21, 2002. As of October 10, 1997, the outstanding balance on the loans from Mr. Reiner was $30,000. On July 25, 1997, NationsCredit Commercial Funding Division of NationsCredit Commercial Corporation, A NationsBank Company ("NationsCredit") provided the Company with a 48-month Revolving Line of Credit of up to $2,500,000 (the "Loan"). The Company agreed to pay NationsCredit interest on the average outstanding principal amount of the Loan at a per annum rate of prime plus 3%. The Loan is advanced to the Company based on a percentage of eligible assets and is secured by a first position security interest on all of the assets of the Company. In addition, $250,000 of the Loan is personally guaranteed by Thomas F. Reiner, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. As of August 31, 1997, the outstanding balance on the Loan was $1,598,974 and approximately $10,000 in credit was available. The Loan is being used to provide working capital for current operations. In connection with the financing, the Company issued NationsCredit a warrant to purchase up to 42,500 shares of its Common Stock exercisable at $1.11 per share at any time until July 25, 2002. In consideration for Mr. Reiner providing his personal guarantee for the NationsCredit Loan, on July 25, 1997, the Company issued to Mr. Reiner 80,000 shares of Common Stock and an option to purchase up to 150,000 of its Common Stock exercisable at $1.25 per share at any time until July 25, 2004. On August 22, 1997, the Nasdaq Stock Market received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission for the proposed changes to its listing requirements. These changes materially enhance the threshold criteria necessary to qualify for listing on the Nasdaq National and SmallCap Markets. The new listing requirements for continued listing will become effective on February 23, 1998. Currently the Company does not meet the new net tangible/market capitalization/net income requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to meet such requirement. If the Company is unable to meet the new listing requirements, its securities will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Trading, if any, in the Company's securities would thereafter be conducted in the OTC Bulletin Board which could substantially reduce the markets for the Company's securities. The Company may make additional acquisitions of companies, divisions of companies or products in the future. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, -8- including difficulties or an inability to successfully assimilate acquired operations and products, diversion of management's attention and loss of key employees of acquired businesses, all of which the Company has encountered with previous acquisitions. Future acquisitions by the Company may require dilutive issuances of equity securities and the incurrence of additional debt, and the creation of goodwill or other intangible assets that could result in amortization expense. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. The Company's current operations continue to be cash flow negative, further straining the Company's working capital resources. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the acquisition of new product lines and/or other business operations and the continued development of existing product sales, distribution and marketing capabilities. In order to continue its current level of operations, it will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional working capital, from either debt or equity sources. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional working capital, it may be necessary for the Company to restructure its operations to reduce its ongoing expenditures.
