Page 3 AVALON COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - --------------------------------------------------- Nature of Business - Avalon Community Services, Inc. ("the Company" or "Avalon") is an Oklahoma based corporation specializing in operating private correctional facilities and providing intensive correctional programming. The Company currently operates in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Nebraska with plans to significantly expand into additional states. The Company owns and operates four community correctional facilities and provides substance abuse services in seven additional correctional facilities. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and money market funds to be cash equivalents. Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments potentially subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments, accounts receivable and notes receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and money market funds and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution or fund. However, the Company had a significant portion of its cash equivalents in one money market fund and the short term certificate of deposit at one financial institution at December 31, 1997. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the fact that a significant portion of the Company's receivables are from state governments. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses. Actual bad debt expenses have not been material. Credit risk on a note receivable is partially mitigated by the collateralization of the note by second lien on real estate. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and Improvements 40 Years Furniture and Equipment 5 to 7 Years Transportation Equipment 3 to 15 Years Page 4 Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. When required, impairment losses are recognized based upon the estimated fair value of the asset. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenues as services are provided. Revenues are earned based upon the number of inmates on a per diem basis at the Company's correctional facilities. Revenues are earned on a monthly contract basis for substance abuse treatment services. All correctional and substance abuse revenues are received monthly from various governmental agencies. Deferred Development Costs - Deferred development costs consist of costs that can be directly associated with an anticipated contract and, if the recoverability from that contract is probable, they are deferred until the anticipated contract has been awarded. The development costs are deferred until the commencement of operations of the facility or contract period and amortized over the anticipated life of the contract (including option and renewal periods). Costs of unsuccessful or abandoned contracts are charged to expense when their recovery is not considered probable. Facility costs are incurred (after a contract is awarded) in connection with the opening of new facilities under the contract. These costs, which are required under the contract, to the extent recoverable, are capitalized from the date of award until commencement of operations, at which time they are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term (including option periods) ranging from one to five year periods of the government contracts. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share - Basic income (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of weighted average common shares outstanding plus any potentially dilutive convertible debentures, warrants and options outstanding during the period. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998 included certain dilutive warrants and options in the calculation of diluted income per share. Convertible debentures were not included in the calculation because the after tax effect of debenture interest added to net income would create an anti-dilutive effect on income per share. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is the same as basic loss per share because assumed exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. Interim Financial Statements - The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 and the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of such date and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial statements included herein have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1997 Form 10-KSB filing. Footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ended December 31, 1998. Page 5 NOTE 2. LONG-TERM DEBT - ----------------------- Long-term debt consists of the following: March 31, December 31, 1998 1997 ----------------------------- Revolving bank line of credit $ 252,000 $ 167,000 Notes payable to banks, collateralized by equipment due in installments through July 1999 with interest from 7.99% to 8.5% 88,000 89,000 Notes payable to banks, collateralized by transportation equipment, due in installments through March 2012 with interest ranging from 4.90% to 9.49%. 699,000 621,000 Notes payable to banks, collateralized by land, buildings and improvements due in installments through June 2012 with interest ranging from 8.5% to 11% 4,861,000 4,941,000 Note payable to an individual, uncollateralized, with interest at 8.5%, due in full April 1999 160,000 160,000 ------------- ------------ 6,060,000 5,978,000 Less - current maturities 698,000 849,000 ------------- ------------ $ 5,362,000 $ 5,129,000 ============= ============ Substantially all notes payable and long-term debt has been personally guaranteed by the Company's CEO. The revolving bank line of credit provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of $500,000 and bears interest at 1% over national prime, (effective rate of 9.5% at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997). The line of credit is collateralized by the Company's Federal and state contract revenues. Payment of dividends is restricted by terms of the Company's revolving credit facility. The revolving bank line of credit matures July 5, 1998. The Company refinanced a correctional facility in Oklahoma City, OK, at March 31, 1998 for $1,730,000. The note bears interest at 1.25% over national prime (effective rate of 9.75% at March 31, 1998). The note is collateralized by the Carver Center in Oklahoma City, OK. Interest is due monthly on the note with all principal advances and accrued interest due at April 15, 1999. The Company used approximately $500,000 of the proceeds to repay existing debt on the Carver Center. The remaining unfunded loan proceeds of $1,225,000 may be drawn by the Company at any time prior to maturity. NOTE 3. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES - ------------------------------- The Company completed a private placement of $4,150,000 of convertible debentures on September 12, 1997. The debentures bear interest at 7.5% and mature on September 12, 2007. The debentures may be redeemed by the Company at any time after May, 2001 at 106.5% of principal, declining to 100% at maturity. The debentures are convertible into common stock at any time until their maturity at $3.00 per share. Page 6 NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - ----------------------------- The Company has outstanding 275,100 Class B stock purchase warrants providing for the purchase of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $6.00 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time until their expiration at March 26, 1999. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company at any time for $.01 per share, with the exception of certain warrants relating to 1,600 shares of common stock. The Company issued 1,000,000 Class C stock purchase warrants in August 1994, in connection with a private placement. The placement provided for 100,000 Class C stock purchase warrants reserved for underwriters. The Company issued an additional 165,000 Class C stock purchase warrants in 1996 and 25,000 Class C stock purchase warrants in 1997. The Company has issued 425,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of the Class C stock purchase warrants through March 31, 1998. The Company currently has 865,000 Class C stock purchase warrants outstanding, including the 100,000 warrants reserved for underwriters. The Class C stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's Class A common stock at any time until their expiration at December 30, 1999. Anti-dilution provisions of the warrant agreement have reduced the exercise price from $3.50 to $3.33 per share as of March 31,1998. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events, for $.01 per share. The Company issued 200,000 Class D stock purchase warrants in August 1996, in connection with the acquisition of the El Paso Intermediate Sanction Facility. The Class D stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $5.125 per share at any time until their expiration at August 2, 2001. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per share. The Company issued 79,000 Class E stock purchase in September 1997, in connection with the private placement of Convertible Debentures. The Class E stock purchase warrants provide for the purchase of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $3.00 per share at any time until their expiration at September 12, 2002. The warrants may be redeemed by the Company upon certain events for $.01 per share. A 1994 agreement provided for the issuance of 750,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase Class A common stock at $1.50 per share for each dollar of Company debt guaranteed by the Company's CEO. The warrants will have a five year term from the date of issuance. Management believes that the warrants had no economic value when granted, and accordingly, no amount has been assigned to such warrants in the financial statements. NOTE 5. STOCK OPTION PLAN - -------------------------- The Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") providing for the issuance of 250,000 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to both incentive stock options, intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options ("non-statutory"). The Option Plan was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November 1995. The purpose of the Plan is to provide continuing incentives to the Company's officers, key employees, and members of the Board of Directors. The options generally vest over a four or five-year period with a ten year expiration period. On December 1, 1996, the Company amended its stock option plan, increasing the number of shares available under the Plan to 600,000. There are currently outstanding non-statutory options providing for the issuance of 506,900 shares of Class A common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.50 to $4.00 per share. Options providing for the issuance of 153,385 shares were exercisable at March 31, 1998. NOTE 6. LITIGATION - ------------------- The Company is a party to litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Page 7 NOTE 7. SIGNIFICANT CONTRACT - ----------------------------- The Company was awarded a five year contract in March 1998 with the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs. The contract is to provide services for 80 youthful delinquent male offenders ages 13 to 19. The Company will design, build and operate a new medium security facility to provide for housing, education, program and recreation areas for these offenders. The contract is expected to generate annual revenues of approximately $3,600,000 beginning in the fourth quarter of 1998. The contract is expected to generate revenues of $18,800,000 over a five year period. The Company will complete the construction of the facility and commence operations under this contract in December 1998. NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE - --------------------------- The Company has computed basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards No. 128. The Company recorded a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997; therefore, the numerators and denominators were identical for both basic and diluted EPS. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 1998. For the three months ended March 31, 1998 Income Shares Per Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ------------- --------- Basic EPS - --------- Income available to common stockholders $29,000 2,987,678 $0.01 ===== Effect of Dilutive Securities - ----------------------------- Stock purchase warrants 698,590 Stock options 134,127 ------- --------- Diluted EPS - ----------- Income available to common stockholders and assumed conversions $29,000 3,820,395 $0.01 ======== ========== ===== Warrants to purchase 275,100 shares at $6.00 per share and 200,000 shares at $5.125 per share were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1998, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. The warrants were still outstanding at March 31, 1998, and expire on March 26, 1999 and August 2, 2001, respectively. The Company has 7.5% debentures with principal and accrued interest convertible at $3.00 per common share. At January 1, 1998, these debentures were convertible into 1,417,980 shares. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the interest expense avoided upon the assumed conversion of the debt would have been $79,000, or $0.06 per converted share. Since this interest per common share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic EPS, the convertible debentures are anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Convertible debentures plus accrued interest were convertible into 1,400,625 shares at March 31, 1998. These convertible debentures mature September 12, 2007. Page 8 AVALON COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company's business strategy is to focus on the private corrections industry, expanding its operations into additional states through new Federal and state contracts and selective acquisitions. This strategy was implemented in the fourth quarter of 1996. Since the fourth quarter of 1996, all non correctional operations have been discontinued and all related assets have been sold or are under contracts to sell. Losses associated with discontinued operations and estimated losses from disposal of the related assets were recorded in 1997. The Company's 1998 earnings include only correctional facility operations. Working capital at March 31, 1998 was $1,195,000 representing a current ratio of 1.80. This compares to working capital of $875,000 and a current ratio of 1.47 at December 31, 1997. The increase in working capital from December 31, 1997 is primarily due to refinancing a portion of the Company's current debt maturities and warrant and option exercise proceeds of $62,000 in the first quarter of 1998. Payment of convertible debenture interest and payment of discontinued operations liabilities resulted in a $241,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company has approximately $1.8 million of cash and short term certificates of deposit available for new projects. The Company also has a $1.2 million line of credit available. The Company believes it has adequate cash reserves and cash flow from operations to meet its current cash requirements. The Company expects current contracts to generate sufficient income to increase cash reserves, while minimizing income taxes through the utilization of tax loss carryforwards. Additional sources of funding may be required on a project funding basis. The Company is currently negotiating with financial institutions to obtain financing to fund future growth. The Company is also evaluating equity sources of financing. The Company may receive equity from the exercise of stock options, warrants, or conversion of debentures in 1998. Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997- Total revenues increased by 52% to $1.81 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.19 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was a result of the acquisition of the Turley Correctional Facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma in October 1997, a contract award to provide substance abuse counseling in Fordland, Missouri in May 1997, and increased revenues from the Company's El Paso operations. Revenues in the first quarter of 1998 were enhanced by the Turley Correctional Facility providing $327,000 of revenues, the Fordland, Missouri substance abuse counseling contract providing $195,000 of revenues, and the Company's El Paso operations providing increased revenues of approximately $100,000 over the first quarter of 1997. The Company had net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of $29,000 or $.01 basic and diluted earnings per share, as compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997 of $34,000 or $.01 basic and diluted loss per share. The Company's net income was a result of expansion through new contracts and acquisitions. Operating income, before interest, depreciation, and income taxes, increased approximately 61% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $672,000 compared to $418,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The substantial increase in operating income was a result of the Company's focus on private corrections, resulting in being awarded new contracts and acquiring additional facilities. The average daily inmate census increased 39% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The census increase was due to the acquisition of the Turley Correctional Facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma in October 1997 and increased census at the Company's El Paso facility. Page 9 Direct operating expenses increased by 47% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 over the three months ended March 31, 1997, primarily as a result of the contract award for substance abuse counseling services at Fordland, Missouri, and the acquisition of the Turley Correctional Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The profit margin increased slightly to 37% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 35% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Discontinued Operations. The Company made the decision to discontinue all non correctional operations in the fourth quarter of 1996. The Company's strategy is to focus on opportunities in the corrections industry. All actual and expected losses have been recorded in 1996 and 1997. The Company currently has two non correctional facilities under contract to sell and anticipate that these facilities will be sold in the second quarter of 1998. Corporate. General and administrative expenses increased by 35% to $268,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $198,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The majority of this increase was a result of increased legal and professional expenses, and an increase in promotional and development costs. The additional costs resulted from the Company's focus on corrections and implementing a strategy for growth through new contracts and acquisitions. The increase in interest expense of $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 over the first quarter 1997 resulted from interest on the convertible debentures. Depreciation and amortization expense have increased commensurate with the growth of the correctional operations. Page 10 AVALON COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC.
