NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements of Infonautics, Inc. (the "Company")
presented herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that
the disclosures in this Report are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1996 and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
The financial information in this report reflects, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present
fairly the results for the interim period. Quarterly operating results may
not be indicative of results which would be expected for the full year.
2. NET LOSS PER COMMON EQUIVALENT
Net loss per common equivalent share is computed using the weighted
average number of Class A and Class B Common Shares outstanding during the
periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, net loss per
common equivalent share is computed pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4-D, whereby all common shares and
common equivalent shares issued by the Company during the twelve-month period
prior to the Company's initial public offering have been included in the
calculation as if they were outstanding, using the treasury stock method at
the initial public offering price of $14.00 per share. Outstanding common
stock equivalents have not been included in the computation of common
equivalent shares for the period subsequent to the IPO, in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board No. 15, "Earnings Per Share". As a result,
outstanding common stock equivalents have not been included in the
computation of common equivalent shares for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
3. Impact of Accounting Standards Issued in 1996:
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Finacial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." This
Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. This Statement is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, earlier application is not
permitted. This Statement requires restatement for all prior-period EPS data
presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, adoption
of SFAS No. 128 will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Report contains, in addition to historical information, forward
looking statements by the Company with regard to its expectations as to
financial results and other aspects of its business that involve risks and
uncertainties and may constitute forward looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
include statements regarding increasing costs, growth and expansion plans,
sales and marketing plans, operating results, and the sufficiency of the
Company's liquidity and capital. Such statements are based on management's
current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in
the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference
include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial information discussed in
this report is rounded to the nearest thousand.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AS COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
Revenues. Total revenues increased from $190,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $807,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Consumer revenue more than doubled to $488,000, from $190,000 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in consumer revenue was due to subscription
revenues from 1)the retention of existing subscribers and 2) the addition of
new Electric Library customers. This was offset somewhat from the decrease in
the number of Homework Helper users. Electric Library, launched late in the
first quarter 1996, had 18,300 subscribers at March 31, 1997, up from just
100 at March 31, 1996. Homework Helper, available only on Prodigy's Classic
had 5,200 monthly subscribers at March 31, 1997, down from 10,000 at March
31, 1996.
Institutional subscription revenue and New Media Services revenue for the
first quarter of 1997 was $372,000 and $154,000, respectively. The Company
first sold to these markets in the second quarter of 1997, therefore neither
generated revenue in the first quarter of 1996.
At March 31, 1997 the Company had deferred revenues of $1,021,000, up
from $796,000 at December 31, 1996. Deferred revenue consists of the
following: unearned subscription revenue from the institutional market;
unearned revenue related to annual subscriptions in the consumer market; and
$500,000 related to a 1995 marketing agreement. The latter will be recognized
in the second quarter of 1997. The increase in deferred revenue this quarter
of $225,000 was a result of institutional sales activity and the selling of
annual subscriptions in the consumer market.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of royalties and
license fees paid to providers of content, hardware and software, as well as
communication costs associated with the delivery of the online services. Cost
of revenues was $453,000 for the three ended March 31, 1997, or 56% of total
revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$98,000, or 51% of total revenues. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of total
revenue, increased due to data preparation costs related to the addition of
new sources of content.
7
Customer Support. Customer support expenses consist primarily of costs
associated with the staffing of professionals responsible for assisting users
with technical and product issues and monitoring customer feedback. Customer
support expenses increased to $111,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
increase in 1997 resulted primarily from higher staffing levels and the
continuing need for the Company to provide additional support to its growing
customer base. The Company anticipates continuing to make increasing customer
support expenditures as the Company provides service to an increased number
of subscribers.
Development. Development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with
the design, programming, testing, documentation and support of the Company's
new and existing software, services and databases. Development expenses
increased 2% to $1,377,000 for three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared
to $1,355,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The Company
continues and anticipates continuing to make significant development
expenditures as it develops new and enhanced services.
During the first quarter of 1996, over half of the development expenses
were related for work performed by independent contractors. In 1997, staffing
has since been increased and dependence upon contractors has been
significantly reduced.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of costs
related to compensation, attendance at conferences and trade shows,
advertising, promotion and other marketing programs. Sales and marketing
costs were $2,889,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared
to $920,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was a
result of the continued efforts to increase sales and expand distribution
channels. Promotional marketing programs, including online advertising and
attendance at school and library trade shows, increased. The number of sales
and marketing personnel grew in both the Institutional and New Media Services
areas, as did the costs associated with the sales and marketing personnel.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of expenses for administration, office operations, finance and
general management activities, including legal, accounting, and other
professional fees. General and administrative expenses nearly doubled to
$1,537,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $772,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increases in general and
administrative expense were due to the expansion of internal staffing,
increases in professional service fees to support the Company's expanded
operations and costs associated with being a publicly traded company. The
Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses may increase in
absolute dollar amounts but decline as a percentage of total revenues.
Interest Income, net. Interest income, net, increased to $334,000 in the
three month period ended March 31, 1997, from $8,000 for the comparable
period in 1996 due to the interest earned on higher cash balances from the
proceeds from the Company's initial public offering, net of cash used in
operations.
Income Taxes. The Company has not recorded an income tax benefit because it
has incurred net operating losses since inception.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of
approximately $22.3 million at March 31, 1997, as compared to $27.4 million
at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $5.1 million. Net cash used in operations
was $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with $2.8
million for the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to a greater net
loss in the period ended March 31, 1997.
8
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was $623,000, $348,000 used for capital expenditures and $971,000,
net, provided by investment purchases and proceeds. Net cash provided by
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $159,000
for capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1997 was $5,900, for the exercise of stock options, compared to the $13
million proceeds raised in the private placement in the comparable period in
1996.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations together with existing
cash balances will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for
at least the next twelve months.
