4. Loss per share
The loss per share calculation is based on the weighted average number of
common shares issued by the Company. The Company was a partnership
throughout 1995 and the weighted average number of common shares
represents the number of shares that were issued in exchange for the
partnership units.
On July 12, 1996 the Company offered each holder of warrants an opportunity
to exercise warrants early at a price of $6.00 per share of common stock.
79,200 shares of common stock were issued under this offer.
Effective September 1, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized a 3 for 2 split of the Company's common stock. The weighted
average number of shares has been adjusted to reflect the split for all
reporting periods.
ITEM 6
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
REVENUE
The Company derives its revenue from fees charged for the use of its radio
transmission equipment and for the sale and servicing of Specialized Mobile
Radio (SMR) and paging equipment.
Revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$423,000 and $1,158,000 compared to $134,000 and $370,000 for the same periods
of 1995.
The Company operated from locations in the Twin Cities area in 1995 and added
the operation of Southern Minnesota Communications (SMC) through an acquisition,
effective January 1, 1996, and Peacock's Radio and Wild's Computer Service of
West Memphis, Arkansas (Peacock) effective September 1, 1996. The results of SMC
are included from January 1, 1996 and results of Peacock are included from
September 1, 1996. Revenue from the Twin Cities locations increased by 36% from
the first nine months of 1995 due to an increase in the number of subscriber
units loaded on the system.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Company added additional sites and has
added 1,500 radio subscriber units which will result in additional air-time
revenues in the fourth quarter.
COST OF REVENUE
The cost of revenue is comprised of site rental, maintenance ,and utilities for
the Company's transmission equipment, cost of land mobile radios sold to
customers, and service labor and parts.
Cost of revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
was $225,000 and $633,000 compared to $55,000 and $167,000 for the same periods
of 1995. The increase was due to the addition of the SMC and Peacock operations.
The additional revenue in the Twin Cites operation added very little additional
cost, as the cost to run a system is essentially fixed.
The gross profit percentage for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1996, was 47% and 45% compared to 59% and 55% for the same periods last
year. The gross profit percentage for 1996 is lower than 1995 due to the
inclusion of the retail radio sales and service operations of SMC and Peacock.
Retail sales of major manufacturers' radios result in lower margins than sales
of service and air-time.
The Company believes that as it expands, future sales will be a combination of
air-time and retail radio sales and service, and the gross profit percentage
realized in 1996 will be more indicative of the future.
OPERATING EXPENSES
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 were $461,000 and $1,326,000 and $185,000 and
$699,000 for the same periods last year. The increase from last year is due to
the addition of the SMC and Peacock operations and professional fees associated
with the 10-SB registration with the SEC, the Company's acquisition strategy
and settlement of the lawsuit with the promoters of the predecessor company. The
costs of the reorganization were included on legal fees and restructuring
expenses on the statement of operations for the three months and nine month
periods of 1995.
The Company has taken actions during the third quarter to reduce the payroll for
the corporate staff and has implemented an austerity program to help minimize
overhead. In addition, the Company feels that the costs associated with becoming
a public Company are essentially completed and anticipates that professional
fees should reduce significantly. The Company is proceeding with plans to
centralize administration functions and thereby minimize S,G&A expenses through
the elimination of redundancy as acquisitions are finalized.
LEGAL FEES AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES
Legal fees and restructuring charges in the first nine months of 1995 are
one-time costs associated with the restructuring of the Company. The costs
associated with SEC business filings and other follow-on activities to the
reorganization are included in operating expenses in 1996.
NET LOSS
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net loss of $798,000 was $224,000
greater than the same period last year. Loss per share increased by $0.04. The
Company was operating as a partnership in 1995 and the number of shares was
imputed reflecting the number of shares issued in exchange for partnership
units.
For the three months ended September 30,1996, net loss was $171,000 greater than
the same period last year and the loss per share of $0.08 was $0.04 greater than
the third quarter of 1995. The additional loss for the quarter was due to legal
and accounting fees associated with the second amendment of the Company's
business filing with the SEC, commissions paid to the Company's sales agents in
the Twin Cities, costs of the stock split and several shareholder mailings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1996, the Company had current assets of $685,000 compared to
$825,000 at December 31, 1995. The change was due to $442,000 negative cash
flow, resulting from $334,000 negative cash flow from operations and $452,000
payments on acquisitions partially offset by $344,000 financing activities.
The Company is currently in a situation where it has had to reduce its growth
through acquisitions until additional financing can be secured. The main
priority of the Company has been pursuit of additional resources to enable the
Company to pursue acquisitions which are at the initial phase and to build out
the channels it currently has. The efforts the Company has gone through to seek
financing have been extensive and it is not limiting itself in its' pursuit.
Until such financing is attained, the Company will control expenditures and
defer any unnecessary capital spending.
