ASI Solutions Incorporated Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation: -------------------------------------- On March 26, 1996, ASI Solutions Incorporated (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware. Effective March 31, 1996, the Company issued 4,625,158 shares of Common Stock in exchange for substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Proudfoot Reports Incorporated ("PRI") and 95% of the common stock of Assessment Solutions Incorporated ("Assessment Solutions"). During fiscal 1997, the remaining 5% of the outstanding common stock of Assessment Solutions were redeemed. The initial stockholders of the Company were also the principal stockholders of PRI and Assessment Solutions, the two previously separate but commonly controlled companies. After the reorganization, Assessment Solutions and PRI are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. On August 29, 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Effective Learning Systems. On November 13, 1997, the Company's newly created subsidiary McLagan Partners Inc. ("McLagan Partners") acquired substantially all of the assets and business operations of McLagan Partners Incorporated and subsidiaries. The Company, Assessment Solutions, PRI and McLagan Partners are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Company." The exchange described above has been accounted for as a reorganization since all entities involved were under common control. The consolidated financial statements reflect the interests attributable to the one controlling shareholder of both combined entities at their historical basis of accounting. The remaining interests have been accounted for as a purchase of minority interests and the excess of the purchase price over the related historical cost of $1,063,000 has been allocated to intangible assets. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Effective April 16, 1997, the Company sold 1.8 million shares of common stock to the public at a price of $6 per share in an initial public offering and pursuant to an over-allotment option, the underwriter purchased 270,000 shares of common stock at a price of $6 per share (the "Offering"). Proceeds from the Offering, net of underwriters' discount and offering costs, were approximately $9,034,000. Effective on the Offering date, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") was restated to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 18 million shares. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of ASI Solutions Incorporated have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. The results of the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of financial statements are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. 2. Operations: ---------- The Company ASI Solutions Incorporated (the "Company") is a leading national provider of human resources outsourcing services for large organizations seeking to hire, train and develop a higher quality, more effective workforce. The Company's services are organized into three core areas: performance improvement services, employment process outsourcing and compensation services and market share studies. The Company believes these services position the Company as a single- source solution for many organizations that outsource all or a portion of their human resources functions. The Company markets its services principally to Fortune 500 companies for which customer service, sales and call center functions are critical components of their businesses. Industries served by the Company include telecommunications, financial services, information technology, consumer products and healthcare. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 133," which postponed the adoption of SFAS No. 133. The Company does not anticipate the statement to have a significant effect on its current financial reporting and disclosure requirements. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" which addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties for numerous entities that apply SFAS No. 133. The Company does not anticipate the statement to have a significant effect on its current financial reporting and disclosure requirements. 3. Stockholders' Equity: --------------------- A summary of the changes in Stockholders' Equity for the six months ended September 30, 2000 is as follows: Accumulated Additional Other Common Paid-In Comprehensive Retained Shares Stock Capital Income Earnings Total - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, March 31, 2000 6,662,183 $67,078 $11,477,820 $ (3,789) $12,388,381 $23,929,490 Issuance of Common Stock for Employee Stock Purchase Plan 75,939 759 208,832 209,591 Exercise of Stock Options 127,530 1,276 1,007,536 1,008,812 Translation adjustment (323,858) (323,858) Net Income 3,273,976 3,273,976 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, September 30, 2000 6,865,652 $69,113 $12,694,188 $(327,647) $15,662,357 $28,098,011 =============================================================================== 4. Acquisitions: ------------ On November 13, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets (primarily fixed assets of $483,978) and businesses of McLagan Partners Incorporated and its related entities (collectively, "McLagan"). The consideration paid by the Company for the assets of McLagan included (i) $15.5 million paid in cash; (ii) $5 million in subordinated notes bearing interest at 8 percent per annum and payable in three equal principal installments on each of April 30, 1998, April 30, 1999 and April 30, 2000; and (iii) 50,000 shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company. The Company incurred $828,188 of costs associated with the acquisition. The Company also discharged approximately $1 million of McLagan's outstanding liabilities and agreed to make deferred payments in an aggregate amount of $1 million, on April 30, 2000, to certain employees of McLagan, provided that such employees continue to be employed by the McLagan subsidiaries as of such date. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets purchased based upon the fair values at the date of the acquisition. As a result, $22,294,210 of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill, customer lists and other intangibles which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods from 5 to 40 years. The Company has an incentive compensation program with former officers of McLagan which provides for payments to such officers when certain milestone earnings are attained. 5. Industry Segment Information: ----------------------------- ASI Solutions' reportable segments are performance improvement services, employment process outsourcing and compensation services and market share studies. Revenues and profits in the performance improvement services segment are generated by designing custom solutions for a client where ASI assesses job candidates, trains existing employees and measures employee performance through monitoring customer contact. Fees charged are generally based on the number of people and calls processed plus a fee for the development of a customized solution. Revenues and profits in the employee process outsourcing segment are generated by providing the following services: advertising for and recruiting of applicants; establishing automated telephonic voice response systems to screen prospective applicants; arranging for the physical facilities and equipment necessary for the pre-screening process and performing background checks on applicants. For larger engagements, the Company generally charges a fixed minimum monthly fee that may increase based on the total number of people processed. For other assignments, such as background checks, revenue is based on a fixed fee for each candidate processed. Revenues and profits in the compensation services and market share studies segment are generated by providing survey services to the financial and securities industries. These include compensation as well as market share survey services for retail operations within the financial services industry. Only participating clients may purchase surveys. The Company also provides compensation services where revenue is generated based on a fee per assignment basis. ASI Solutions evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on their operating contribution, which represents segment revenues less direct costs of operation, excluding the allocation of corporate expenses. Identifiable assets of the operating segments principally consist of net accounts receivable associated with the segment activities. Accounts receivable from performance improvement services and employment process outsourcing are managed on a combined basis. All other identifiable assets not attributable to industry segments are included in corporate assets. The Company does not track expenditures for long-lived assets on a segment basis. The table below presents information on the revenues and operating contribution for each segment for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and items which reconcile segment operating contribution to the Company's reported pre-tax income. Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 1999 (in thousands) Revenue: Performance Improvement Services $12,190 $ 9,211 Employment Process Outsourcing 17,118 12,325 Compensation Services and Market Share Studies 11,680 9,603 ------- ------- $40,988 $31,139 ======= ======= Operating contribution: Performance Improvement Services $ 4,176 $ 3,193 Employment Process Outsourcing 6,559 3,982 Compensation Services and Market Share Studies 2,850 2,027 ------- ------- $13,585 $ 9,202 ------- ------- Consolidated expenses: Interest, net $ 471 $ 781 Depreciation and Amortization 1,436 1,220 Selling, General and Administrative and Research and Development 5,936 5,173 ------- ------- $ 7,843 $ 7,174 ------- ------- Income before income taxes $ 5,742 $ 2,028 ======= ======= Identifiable Assets: Performance Improvement and Employment Process Outsourcing $10,154 $11,570 Compensation Services and Market Share Studies 5,225 5,349 Corporate 10,406 2,255 ------- ------- $25,785 $19,174 ======= ======= 6. Subsequent Event: ---------------- On October 6, 2000 the Company closed a $3 million equity financing of CyberU, Inc., a California based Delaware corporation. The Company obtained a 25.6% equity interest (on a fully diluted and converted basis) of CyberU, Inc., a comprehensive source of online education and training for corporations, small business and individuals. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Quarterly Comparison of Results of Operations Revenue increased $2.7 million, or 17.5%, to $17.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $15.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Performance Improvement Services revenue increased 6.4% to $5 million in fiscal 2001's second quarter from $4.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Performance Measurement revenue increased strongly, Assessment and Selection revenue also increased while Training and Development revenue decreased after a very strong first quarter. Employment Process Outsourcing revenue increased by 25.5% to $7.1 million in fiscal 2001's second quarter from $5.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Both background investigation and hiring outsourcing had strong revenue growth in the quarter. Compensation Services and Market Share Studies revenue increased by 18.9%, to $5.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $4.9 million in fiscal 2000's second quarter. Revenue increased in both the survey and consulting areas. Cost of services increased by $1.4 million, or 16.2%, to $9.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $8.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Higher personnel expenses, related to the higher business volume, account for the increase. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 54.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 55% in fiscal 2000's second quarter. The cost of service percentage is generally highest in the second fiscal quarter because of seasonal lower relative revenue level compared to the other three quarters. General and administrative expense decreased by 1%, to $4.1 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2001 from $4.14 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Lower incentive provisions account for the decease partially offset by higher professional fees. Because of the exceptional strength of the first quarter, a greater percentage of the annual incentive was absorbed in the first quarter as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2001. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense was 22.9% in fiscal 2001's second quarter compared to 27.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $.1 million or 7.1%, to $1.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Lower business development expenses such as travel, advertising and conferences account for the decease. Many of the year's business development activities were accelerated into the first quarter this year to accelerate their impact in revenues. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense was 7.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 9.7% in fiscal 2000's second quarter. Research and development expense was $.6 million in both the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000. Higher professional fees were largely offset by lower travel expense. As a percentage of revenue research and development expense was 3.1% in fiscal 2001's second quarter and 3.7% in the second fiscal quarter of 2000. Net interest expense decreased to $.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $.4 million the second quarter of fiscal 2000 due to lower debt outstanding and to interest income on higher cash balances. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre tax income was 44.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 42.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase is due primarily to the geographic mix of business. (Percentages are based on actual amounts as opposed to the rounded amounts shown above.) Year to Date Comparison of Results of Operations Revenue increased $9.9 million, or 31.6%, to $41 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $31.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Performance Improvement Services revenue increased 32.4% to $12.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $9.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. The increase was fueled by strong growth across all service areas within Performance Improvement Services. Employment Process Outsourcing revenue increased by $4.8 million or 38.9%, to $17.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $12.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Both, our hiring outsourcing services and background investigations, contributed substantial revenue gains. Compensation Services and Market Share Studies revenue increased $2.1 million, or 21.6%, to $11.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $9.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Both survey revenue and consulting revenue reported strong growth. Cost of services increased $5 million, or 29.7%, to $21.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $16.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Personnel related expenses including salaries, benefits and recruiting accounted for much of the increase as headcount was expanded to meet the demands of higher business volume. Service delivery expenses also increased as a result of the higher volume. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services was 52.8% for the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 53.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2000. General and Administrative expense increased by $.9 million, or 11.8% to $8.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $7.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Higher personnel expenses and professional fees accounted for the increase. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense was 21.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 25% in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Sales and marketing expense increased by $.5 million, or 17.2% to $3.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $2.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Higher personnel related and business development expenses accounted for the increase. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense was 8% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 9% in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Research and Development expense increased by $.1 million or 9.2% to $1.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Higher personnel related expenses and professional fees accounted for the increase. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expense was 2.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 3.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Net interest expense decreased to $.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 from $.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 due to lower debt balances outstanding and to interest income earned on higher cash balances maintained in the first six months of fiscal 2001. As a percentage of pretax income, the provision for income taxes was 42.9% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 41.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2000. The difference is due principally to changes in the geographic mix of business. (Percentages are based on actual amounts as opposed to the rounded amounts shown above.) Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's liquidity needs arise from capital requirements, capital expenditures and principal and interest payments on debt. Historically, the Company's source of liquidity has been cash flow generated internally from operations, supplemented by short-term borrowings under bank lines of credit and long-term equipment financing. Cash flow provided by operating activities during the first half of fiscal 2001 was $1,212,618, due to increases in accounts receivable and reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash flow used in investing activities of $1,237,018 in the first half of 2001 were primarily for fixed asset additions. Cash flow used in financing activities was $2,122,671 in the first half of fiscal 2001 and was primarily attributable to the repayment of outstanding debt. In November 1997, the Company entered into a new bank credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") which provides a $15 million term loan and a $5 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was subsequently increased to $10 million in December 1998. This agreement expires November 13, 2003. At September 30, 2000, borrowings under the term loan were $9,250,000 and there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The Company also had borrowings at September 30, 2000 under an equipment lease facility of approximately $371,000. The Credit Facility contains various financial and other covenants and conditions, including, but not limited to, limitations on capital expenditures and paying dividends, making acquisitions and incurring additional indebtedness. Management believes its working capital, line of credit and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet expected future working capital requirements. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is exposed to market risk, i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates Interest Rate Exposure: The Company has entered into an interest rate swap at a fixed rate of 9% per annum on borrowings under its credit facility of up to $5,000,000. Foreign Exchange Exposure: Portions of the Company's operations are conducted in Hong Kong, Japan and the United Kingdom. Exchange rate fluctuations between the US dollar/Hong Kong dollar, US dollar/Japanese Yen and the US dollar/Pound Sterling result in fluctuations in the amounts relating to the Hong Kong, Japan and United Kingdom operations reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company has not entered into hedging transactions with respect to its foreign currency exposure, but may do so in the future. PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
