NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accounting policies followed for quarterly
financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note
(1) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997.
NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT
The April 30, 1997 balance sheet has been restated to
conform to the requirements for accounting for debt
securities.
Item 6. Management's Discussion And Analysis or Plan of
Operation
Over the past two years, the Company's sales have
declined as a result primarily of labor problems
experienced by Major League Baseball (MLB), the National
Hockey League (NHL) and the National Basketball Association
(NBA). Such problems included substantial strikes by both
MLB and the NHL and a threatened strike by the NBA. As a
result, the Company has changed its strategy and intends to
become a financial services company positioned to take
advantage of what management believes to be profitable
business and growth opportunities in the marketplace. In
connection therewith, in April 1997, the Company organized
Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company (UPCIC).
UPCIC was formed to participate in the transfer of homeowner
insurance policies from the Florida Residential Property and
Casualty Joint Underwriting Association (JUA).
UPCIC's application to become a Florida licensed
property and casualty insurance company was filed with the
Florida Department of Insurance (Department) on May 14, 1997
and is pending. UPCIC's proposal to begin operations through
the acquisition of approximately 45,000 homeowner insurance
policies issued by JUA was approved by the JUA on May 21,
1997, subject to certain minimum capitalization and other
requirements.
The Company is currently in the process of a proposed
private offering of debt and/or equity securities in order
to meet the minimum capitalization requirements of the JUA.
No assurances can be given whether the Company can obtain
such funds or the terms thereof. Failure to obtain such
funds would have a material adverse affect on the Company.
Historically, the Company's primary demands for cash
included payments to obtain inventory, payments to obtain
licenses and royalty payments. To fund such demands, the
Company has generated funds from sales of its products and
from outside sources through the sale of its debt and equity
securities, primarily to related parties. In the future, the
Company will attempt to obtain additional funds from
internal cash flow and the raising of additional working
capital. The Company is also working closely with its
vendors on a payment plan for its accounts payable.
In July 1996, a group of investors purchased warrants
at $.05 per warrant from the Company entitling the holders
to purchase 1,433,333 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at $.70 a share. During July, warrants to purchase 254,760
shares were exercised. As a result of these transactions
the Company received gross proceeds of approximately
$250,000. The remaining warrants to purchase shares of
common stock expired in January 1997.
On April 24, 1997, the Company issued an investor
100,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00
per share, warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share and warrants
to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $3.50 per share at an aggregate purchase price of
$97,000.
Seasonality
Sales of the Company's novelty and souvenir products
were correlated with the visibility of the various
proprietary marks and their owners. The Company does not
believe that there will be any seasonality in the insurance
business.
Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents at July 31, 1997 were $24,137
as compared with $35,269 at April 30, 1997. The decrease is
primarily the result of $50,021 being used for operating
activities offset by $38,889 of financing activities. The
operating activities were supported by the liquidation of a
portion of the souvenir product inventory from discontinued
operations of $140,000.
Due to related parties at July 31, 1997 was $340,024 as
compared to $305,678 at April 30, 1997. The increase is due
to Deferred Salary to the President.
At the Company's present level of sales and operations,
the Company does not have and is not generating sufficient
funds from operations or otherwise to finance its proposed
plan of operations for the next twelve months. In order to
finance the proposed operations of UPCIC, the Company is
attempting to raise funds through an additional equity
financing or debt financing. Excluding related party loans,
the Company has not secured additional sources of financing.
There is no assurance that any such financing will be
available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The
Company's inability to obtain future financing on terms
acceptable to the Company would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's proposed insurance operations.
Results of Operations-- Three Months Ended July 31, 1997
versus July 31, 1996
During the three months ended July 31, 1997, the
Company did not actively market its core product line
resulting in sales decreasing from $62,947 for the three
months ended July 31, 1996 to $5,268 for the three months
ended July 31, 1997. The loss from the operations of the
core product line decreased from $128,213 in fiscal 1996 to
$38,771 in fiscal 1997. The decision to discontinue
marketing efforts was based on the projected continued
losses, inability to achieve critical mass and lessened
demand for the products because of market factors. The
Company does not expect to incur material losses on the
disposition of these product lines.
The Company is actively pursuing a strategy to enter into
the financial service industry. The Company plans to
qualify as a property and casualty insurer through the state
of Florida market challenge program.
