Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. Three Months Ended June 30 1995. Net Sales. For three months ended June 30, 1996, net sales were $416,556 versus $214,209 in the same period of the prior year, representing an increase of $202,347. The increase in net sales is primarily attributed to increases in professional service revenues which increased from $129,558 in 1995 to $288,137 in 1996. The increases in professional services revenues is the result of increases in Internet division revenues and increases in demand of professional programming services. Equipment sales also increased from $84,651 in 1995 to $128,419 in 1996. Gross Profit. For three months ended June 30, 1996, gross margin was $116,040 versus $1,130 in 1995, representing an increase of $114,910. The increases in gross profit is resulted from the increases in professional services revenues, increases in equipment sales and decreases in product costs. Management believes that the gross margin will increases as software sales and professional services revenue increases. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $133,503 in three months ended June 30, 1996 versus $135,538 in 1995. The decreases in sales and marketing expenses were caused by the downsizing in marketing and sales force. The Company believes that the sales and marketing expenses will continue to decrease as a result of the overall downsizing of the Company. Research and Development. Research and development expense decreased from $145,950 in 1995, to $46,249 in 1996. The decreases in research and development is attributable to a decrease in the number of full time equivalent programmers involved in product development activities. The full time development programmers decreases because the ClassicSQL product is in the final and testing phase, therefore, the Company shifted some programming resources into professional services department. Management believes the research and development cost will decrease further after the completion of the ClassicSQL product line. General and Administrative. General and administrative costs were $123,728 in 1996 versus $144,451 in 1995. The decrease in general and administrative costs is the result of downsizing of the Company. Operating Income. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, operating loss was $212,538 compared to an operating loss of $417,198 in 1995. The decrease in operating loss in 1996 is attributed to the significant increases in professional services revenues, decreases in general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, and sales and marketing expenses. Interest income (expense). Net interest expense increased to $47,405 in 1996 from $14,426 in 1995. This was primarily due to interest expense related to the building and other capital leases. The interest expense is somewhat offset by the interest earned on cash and short term investments. Other income. Net other income increased to $22,307 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This is due to the rental income generated by the building as well as miscellaneous sales. Results of Operations Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Net Sales. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net sales were $781,144 versus $1,083,278 in the same period of the prior year, representing a decrease of $302,134. The decrease in net sales is primarily attributed to the lack of software product sales in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in sales is somewhat offset by the increase in professional revenues. Hardware equipment sales decreased from $600,472 to $195,276. The decrease in equipment sales is resulted from the lack of packaged software sold. Professional services sales increased from $238,721 to $585,868 due to the shifting of programming and development resources from ClassicSQL product lines to custom projects as well as revenues from the Internet division. Gross Profit. For six months ended June 30, 1996, gross profit was $216,305 versus $345,740 in 1995, representing a decrease of $129,435. The decreases in gross profit is attributed to the decreases in software package sales, decreases in equipment sales and increases in professional services costs. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $299,056 in six months ended June 30, 1996 versus $255,953 in 1995. The increases in sales and marketing expenses were caused by increases in marketing effort for the ClassicSQL product lines and marketing expenses for the Internet division. The Company believes that the sales and marketing expenses will decline as a result of the downsizing of the Company. Research and Development. Research and development expense increased from $169,551 in 1995 to $169,877 in 1996. The increase in research and development is attributable to an increase in the number of full time equivalent programmers involved in product development activities in the first quarter of 1996. Management believes that research and development will decrease after the completion of the ClassicSQL development. General and Administrative. General and administrative costs increased from $240,629 in 1995 to $292,329 in 1996. The increase in general and administrative costs is the result of additional offices for the Internet division and Computer center division. Operating Income. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, operating loss was $544,957 compared to an operating loss of $320,393 in 1995. The operating loss in 1996 is attributed to the significant decreases in software sales, increases in general and administrative expenses, and sales and marketing expenses. The decreases in sales which is resulted from obstacles encountered in the development of ClassicSQL product lines also increases the operating loss of 1996. Interest income (expense). Net interest expense increased to $87,783 in 1996 from $47,304 in 1995. This was primarily due to interest expense related to the building and other capital leases. The interest expense is somewhat offset by the interest earned on cash and short term investments. Other income. Net other income increased to $51,260 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This is due to the rental income generated by the principal building as well as miscellaneous sales. Liquidity and Capital Resources For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $176,852 primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Working capital deficiency was $739,522 at June 30, 1996. The working capital deficiency is primarily attributed to the operating loss and increased allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company intends to reduce the working capital deficiency by increasing sales, downsizing and attempt to obtaining long-term financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such actions in which event it may be necessary for the Company to substantially reduce its operations. Capital expenditures relating primarily to the purchase of computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and software and software development amounted to $266,583 and $553,104 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively. The Company also acquired $90,802 of computer equipment for the Internet division during the six months period ended June 30, 1996. Part II.
