NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The financial information as of June 30, 2000 and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for
a fair presentation of our financial position at June 30, 2000, and our
operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
2000. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The
financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions of Form 10-Q and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, which were included
as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. GENERAL:
@plan.inc was incorporated in the State of Tennessee in May 1996. We
provide target market research planning systems for Internet advertisers,
advertising agencies, Web publishers, online retailers and consumer brand
marketers. Our internally developed systems, which our clients access through
our Web site, combine databases of consumer lifestyle, product preference and
demographic data with technology that enables our clients to perform queries and
searches to plan campaigns and strategies.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We provide target market research planning systems to our clients on a
renewable subscription basis. We recognize revenue ratably over the contract
period, which is generally twelve months. We bill our clients for our services
based on terms of the contracts, which may not coincide with criteria required
for revenue recognition.
On the accompanying balance sheets, deferred revenue represents amounts
invoiced prior to rendering our services while unbilled receivables represents
the value of services rendered prior to being invoiced. Substantially all of the
deferred and unbilled revenue will be earned and billed, respectively, within
twelve months of the respective period ends.
Upon signing a contract, our sales representatives become eligible for
a commission. These commissions are paid at the time of the contract signing.
For financial reporting purposes, we capitalize these commissions as a component
of prepaid expenses and amortize these amounts over the lives of the related
contracts.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all investments in
highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less. Funds in excess of operating cash needs are maintained in a money market
fund, which may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
6
7
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Property and equipment consists of computer equipment,
software, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements. Computer equipment,
software, furniture and fixtures are depreciated using the straight-line method
over their useful lives that range from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the term of the lease.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
We capitalize direct costs relating to our computer software
development upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Until our
products reach technological feasibility, all costs related to development
efforts are expensed as a component of product costs. Software development
costs, subsequent to technological feasibility and prior to general release,
have been capitalized and are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net
realizable value. We amortize capitalized software development costs on a
straight-line basis for periods ranging from one to three years. As of June 30,
2000 and December 31, 1999, software development costs are as follows:
JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31,
2000 1999
----------- -----------
(UNAUDITED)
Software development costs $ 1,513,142 $ 1,191,702
Less: Accumulated depreciation (949,561) (640,157)
----------- -----------
$ 563,581 $ 551,545
=========== ===========
We periodically review our software development costs and property and
equipment for any potential impairments. We consider undiscounted cash flows,
future operating results, trends or other relevant information in assessing
whether the carrying value of our assets is recoverable. At June 30, 2000, we do
not believe that any of our assets are impaired.
INCOME TAXES
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We account for our stock-based compensation to our employees by
recognizing compensation expense for the difference between the estimated fair
value of our stock at the date of grant and the exercise price of the granted
stock. Stock-based grants issued to non-employees are recorded at either the
fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the stock issued, as
determined using the Black-Scholes model.
7
8
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. These assumptions also affect the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates and assumptions.
STOCK-SPLIT
The accompanying financial statements give retroactive effect to a 1.8
for 1 stock-split that was approved by our Board of Directors on March 10, 1999.
4. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period
plus the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. In the accompanying
statements of operations, diluted loss per share does not include the effects of
potentially dilutive securities for all periods presented, as they would have
been anti-dilutive in years in which a loss is reported.
The following summarizes the securities outstanding, which are excluded
from the loss per share calculation, as amounts would have an anti-dilutive
effect.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions and other statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts. When used, the words "expect," "anticipate," "intent," "plan,"
"believe," "estimate" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including:
- market acceptance of the Internet as an advertising medium;
- the continued development of the electronic commerce market;
- our ability to develop and introduce new products;
- market acceptance of our products and services;
- our limited operating history;
- our history of losses and expectation of continued losses;
- our dependence on our relationship with The Gallup
Organization for the collection of data;
- our ability to manage our rapid growth;
- intense competition in our market;
- our ability to attract, retain and train qualified sales,
client service and other personnel;
- our ability to timely collect, process, store and deliver
accurate data;
- the unpredictability of our financial results and expected
fluctuations in our quarterly results;
- variations in product or client mix;
- possible technical difficulties or service interruptions;
- the magnitude and timing of strategic pricing changes,
marketing decisions, product development costs and possible
acquisitions; and
- other risk factors described in the "Risk Factors" section of
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File no.
333-74507), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 17, 1999, and our Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
OVERVIEW
We were founded in May 1996. During the period from May 1996 to
December 31, 1996, our inception period, we had no revenues and were primarily
engaged in the development and planning of our software and survey research
infrastructures. In June 1997, we introduced our first product system, the @plan
Gutenberg Advertising System. Since 1997, subscribers to this system have
included Internet advertisers, advertising agencies and Web publishers and, to a
lesser extent, online retailers and consumer brand marketers. During 1997, we
continued to build our sales and operations
9
10
staff and during 1998, our first full year of sales, we continued to grow our
client subscriber base, develop new products, and opened a satellite office in
San Francisco, California to service our existing West Coast clients and to
expand our client base in this market. In December 1998, we introduced the @plan
Kepler E-Business System specifically designed for online retailers and consumer
brand marketers. In March 2000, we launched our first highly targeted vertical
market research system, the Darwin E-Retail system, which focuses on the
automotive, travel and merchandising e-commerce sector.
We derive all of our revenues from the sale of subscriptions to our
systems. The subscription contracts are generally non-cancelable for a period of
one year and most automatically renew unless we receive notice of termination
from the client prior to the anniversary date. Clients typically pay contract
fees on an annual, quarterly or monthly basis, which are recorded as deferred
revenue until the revenue is recognized. Revenue is recognized on a straight
line basis beginning over the non-cancelable contract period, generally 12
months. Upon renewal, many of the subscription rates increase automatically in
accordance with contract provisions. These automatic increases are generally
higher in the first two renewal years than in subsequent renewal years where the
rate adjustment is based on increases in the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. We
have experienced a contract renewal rate in excess of 90% from inception through
June 30, 2000. The renewal rate is not necessarily indicative of the rate of
future retention of our revenue base.
One measure of the volume of our business is "contract value" which
represents the annualized value of all contracts in effect at a given point in
time, without regard to the duration of contracts then outstanding and without
deducting revenue already recognized under these contracts. Our contract value
was $7.3 million at June 30, 1999 and $14.0 million at June 30, 2000. As of June
30, 2000, we have recognized $6.5 million of revenues of the $14.0 million in
contract value.
Our revenues and operating margins will fluctuate due, in part, to
product and customer mix. Annual subscriptions to the @plan Kepler E-Business
System are typically priced higher than annual subscriptions to the @plan
Gutenberg Advertising System. Moreover, annual subscription pricing and renewal
pricing are often negotiated and may vary based on the volume of subscriptions
being sold to the client. Variations in product or client mix could cause our
revenue and operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly or annual basis.
Product costs consist primarily of amounts paid to The Gallup
Organization for quarterly collection of data used in our market research
systems. From time to time we will engage Gallup on a case-by-case basis to
collect additional data. In the past, these additional engagements have caused
our data collection costs to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and we expect
quarterly data collection costs to continue to fluctuate as we plan to continue
to use Gallup for additional data collection. Product costs will also increase
during the remainder of 2000 and in future periods as we continue to develop
additional highly targeted vertical market research systems. Our second Darwin
vertical system is scheduled to be released by the end of the third quarter
2000.
Also included in product costs are software development costs, which
consist primarily of the amortization of capitalized software development costs
and, to a lesser extent, other non-capitalized technology expenses such as Web
site maintenance. Software development costs represent direct expenses incurred
to improve or enhance our systems, including increasing access speeds, designing
new user interfaces and developing new system modules. As of June 30, 2000, we
had approximately $564,000 in capitalized software development costs which will
be amortized and expensed as product costs over the next one to three years. See
note 3 of the notes to our financial statements for an explanation of the
accounting for our software development costs.
We have incurred significant losses since inception and as of June 30,
2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $11.0 million. Our net losses and
accumulated deficit resulted from our lack of substantial revenues and the
significant costs incurred in the development of our systems and in the
establishment of our operations infrastructure. Additionally, our accumulated
deficit was affected by a $1.3 million dividend in connection with warrants
issued to the holders of our preferred stock
10
11
upon the consummation of our initial public offering. We intend to continue to
make significant investments in the development of new products, the enhancement
of our current systems and in the expansion of our sales force. As a result, we
expect to incur additional losses at least through December 31, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND JUNE 30, 2000
Revenues. Total revenues increased 104% from $1.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000. The increase in revenues resulted principally from an increase of $1.0
million in recurring revenues from the retention of existing clients. These
renewals reflect higher subscription rates than those in place during the
initial term of these contracts, in accordance with contract provisions.
Additionally, we experienced increased revenues of approximately $684,000 from
subscription sales to new clients, including revenues from our @plan Kepler
E-Business System launched in December 1998. During the quarter, we had no
revenues from our Darwin E-Retail system as it was not launched until March
2000 and required a slightly longer than anticipated ramp in training our sales
force.
Product Costs. Product costs consist primarily of amounts paid to
Gallup for quarterly collection of data used in our market research systems and
software development costs. Product costs increased 221% from approximately
$805,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was due primarily to an increase of
$1.1 million in additional data collection costs and software development costs
associated with the introduction of our Darwin E-Retail system. In addition, we
incurred costs of approximately $490,000 in connection with the development of
our second vertical target market planning system.
Consistent with our strategy, we are currently developing additional
highly targeted vertical market research systems. As a result, we anticipate
continuing to incur increased data collection and software costs during the
remainder of 2000 and in future periods.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing costs consist primarily of
the personnel expenses associated with the sale and service of our systems,
including commissions, public relations costs and marketing expenses. Selling
and marketing costs increased 148% from approximately $699,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000. This increase was due largely to the expansion of our sales force and
client service team, commissions associated with increased sales, and to a
lesser extent, Company branding initiatives. Selling and marketing costs will
increase as we continue to expand our sales force and introduce new products.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related costs for our administrative, financial and
information technology personnel, professional fees, occupancy costs and general
office expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 80% from
approximately $418,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
approximately $753,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase
was primarily due to the increase in personnel needed to support our expanding
operations and related costs as well as costs related to being a public company
including directors' and officers' liability insurance. We anticipate hiring
additional personnel and expect general and administrative expenses will
increase in future periods.
Interest income. Interest income consists of interest on our cash and
cash equivalents. Interest income was approximately $186,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $500,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in interest income was primarily
attributable to the higher cash balances during the three months ended June 30,
2000 as a result of net proceeds from our sale of common stock in May 1999.
Net loss. Our net loss increased 106% from approximately $629,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.3 million for the three months ended
June 30,
11
12
2000. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.6 million in
products costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2000 in
connection with the development of our vertical systems.
Loss per share. The loss per share amount for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was $.11. Included in the loss per share amount for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 of $.36 is a $1.3 million dividend associated with
initial public offering warrants issued to preferred shareholders. Excluding the
effect of this charge, the loss per share for the three months ended June 30,
1999 was $.12.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND JUNE 30, 2000
Revenues. Total revenues increased 108% from $3.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000. The increase in revenues resulted principally from an increase of $1.9
million in recurring revenues from the retention of existing clients. These
renewals reflect higher subscription rates than those in place during the
initial term of these contracts, in accordance with contract provisions.
Additionally, we experienced increased revenues of $1.2 million from
subscription sales to new clients, including revenues from our @plan Kepler
E-Business System launched in December 1998. During the quarter, we had no
revenues from our Darwin E-Retail system as it was not launched until March
2000 and required a slightly longer than anticipated ramp in training our sales
force.
Product Costs. Product costs consist primarily of amounts paid to
Gallup for quarterly collection of data used in our market research systems and
software development costs. Product costs increased 205% from $1.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $4.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. This increase was due primarily to an increase of $2.2 million in
additional data collection costs and software development costs associated with
the introduction of our Darwin E-Retail system. In addition, we incurred costs
of approximately $651,000 in connection with our second vertical target market
planning system. Consistent with our strategy, we are currently developing
additional highly targeted vertical market research systems. As a result, we
anticipate continuing to incur increased data collection and software costs
during the remainder of 2000 and in future periods.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing costs consist primarily of
the personnel expenses associated with the sale and service of our systems,
including commissions, public relations costs and marketing expenses. Selling
and marketing costs increased 148% from $1.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due largely to the expansion of our sales force and client service
team, commissions associated with increased sales, and to a lesser extent,
company branding initiatives. Selling and marketing costs will increase as we
continue to expand our sales force and introduce new products.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related costs for our administrative, financial and
information technology personnel, professional fees, occupancy costs and general
office expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 87% from
approximately $821,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
$1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily
due to the increase in personnel needed to support our expanding operations and
related costs as well as costs related to being a public company including
directors' and officers' liability insurance. We anticipate hiring additional
personnel and expect general and administrative expenses will increase in future
periods.
Interest income. Interest income consists of interest on our cash and
cash equivalents. Interest income was approximately $223,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to approximately $979,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable
to the higher cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as a
result of net proceeds from our sale of common stock in May 1999.
Net loss. Our net loss increased 132% from approximately $971,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.8
million in products
12
13
costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2000 in connection with the
development of our vertical systems.
Loss per share. The loss per share amount for the six months ended June
30, 2000 was $.20. Included in the loss per share amount for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 of $.77, is a $1.3 million dividend associated with initial
public offering warrants issued to preferred shareholders. Excluding the effect
of this charge, the loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$.33.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2000, we had $32.2 million in cash and cash equivalents
as compared to $35.1 million as of June 30, 1999. In May 1999, we consummated
our initial public offering by selling 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $14.00 per share. Net proceeds from the IPO, net of underwriting
discounts and offering costs, were $31.7 million. Prior to May 1999, we financed
our operations primarily through the private placement of preferred stock. Net
proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock from inception through
June 30, 2000 have totaled $9.6 million.
Net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. Cash used in operating activities was primarily
attributable to net losses and increases in accounts receivable offset by
increases in deferred revenue and accrued expenses. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999, net cash provided by operating activities was $81,000 which was
primarily attributable to net operating losses and increases in accounts
receivable offset partially by increases in deferred revenue and accounts
payable.
Deferred revenue was $2.6 million at June 30, 2000 as compared to $1.8
million at June 30, 1999. Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced under
contract prior to our rendering of services to the client. Unbilled accounts
receivable was approximately $369,000 at June 30, 2000 and approximately
$213,000 at June 30, 1999. Unbilled accounts receivable represents the value of
services provided prior to invoicing.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $439,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and approximately $339,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. Cash used in investing activities in each period was
attributed to software development costs and purchases of property and
equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $130,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash provided by financing activities
was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the sale of common stock, net of
issuance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash provided by
financing activities was $31.7 million which was primarily attributable to the
proceeds from the sale of common stock, net of issuance costs.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be
sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements
through 2001. Thereafter, we may be required to raise additional funds. If
additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, our
shareholders may experience significant dilution. There can be no assurance that
additional funding, if needed, will be available on attractive terms, or at all.
If financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable
terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services. The
failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business, operating results
and financial condition.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We have no material commitments other than our lease for our corporate
headquarters and obligations under our agreement with Gallup. Our agreement with
Gallup provides us with initial baseline data and quarterly tracking data
collection. The agreement has a one-year term with nine successive one-year
renewals and is cancelable by us upon 90-days' written notice prior to an
anniversary date. The annual renewal provides for CPI increases to the
associated fees. During the third quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000,
we entered into additional
13
14
agreements with Gallup to provide us with initial baseline data and quarterly
tracking data collection for our targeted vertical market research systems.
These agreements extend through August 2009 and September 2006, respectively and
are cancelable by us upon 90-days' written notice prior to each anniversary
date. Consistent with our growth strategy, we anticipate incurring increased
data collection and software costs during the remainder of 2000 and in future
periods as we continue to develop additional products.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The carrying values of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable,
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows are not
materially affected by changes in the relative values of non-U.S. currencies to
the U.S. dollar. We do not use derivative financial instruments to limit our
foreign currency risk exposure.
