NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The statements are unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995 included
in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on April 12,1996.
NOTE 2. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common equivalent shares outstanding.
NOTE 3. CONSIGNED INVENTORY, WARRANTY AND RIGHT OF RETURN POLICIES
Inventory consigned to customers is included in the Company's finished goods
valuation. Revenue from these consignments is recognized when the consignee
sells the product to individual consumers. All products carry a minimum ninety
day manufacturer's warranty. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase
by the individual consumer. Consumers, who purchase product from the Company,
have a right to return the product for either merchandise, credit or refund
(within thirty days of purchase) provided the product is free of damage or abuse
not consistent with the normal use of the product.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
1995
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $452,000 as compared to
net sales of $839,000 for the same period in 1995. Net consumer product sales,
excluding accessories, totaled $447,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1996, a decrease of $390,000 or 47%, over the same period in 1995. This decrease
in net sales is attributable to the Company's inability, due to lack of capital
resources, to satisfactorily market its products and to offer the extended terms
that are demanded by retail distribution channels. International sales,
including Canada, for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 were $7,000 as
compared to $69,000 for the same period in 1995. Product return accruals for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 were $14,000 compared to $149,000 during the
same period in 1995.
Gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was 32% as
compared to 11% for the same period in 1995. This improvement in gross margin
percentage was due to the decrease in fixed manufacturing overhead expenditures,
which totaled $32,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of
$80,000 from the same period in 1995.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $143,000,
consisting of selling, general and administrative costs of $114,000 and research
and development costs of $29,000 compared to total operating expenses of
$558,000 for the same period in 1995 consisting of selling, general and
administrative costs of $501,000, and research and development costs of $57,000.
During the second quarter of 1996 the Company's baseball products, Batter Up(R)
and PC Batter Up, were approved by Little League(R) Baseball which will allow
the Company to use the Little League(R) logo in all advertising. The Company
hopes that this affiliation with Little League(R) Baseball will help create wide
spread awareness of the Company's Batter Up(R) baseball games which operate with
a Sega(R) Genesis, Super Nintendo(R) or personal computer.
For the three months ended June 30, 1996 other expense was $6,000 compared to
$30,000 during the same period in 1995. Other expense for the 1995 period
consists of primarily interest expense and bank charges relating to the
Company's now expired line of credit with Comerica Bank.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30,1995
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $563,000 as compared to
net sales of $1,231,000 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of approximately
54%. Net consumer product sales, excluding accessories, decreased $666,000 or
55% during the first half of 1996 compared to the first half of 1995. This
decrease in net sales is attributable to the Company's inability, due to lack of
capital resources, to satisfactorily market its products and to offer the
extended terms that are demanded by retail distribution channels. International
sales, including Canada, for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 were
$23,000 as compared to $93,000 over the same period in 1995. Product return
accruals for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $14,000 compared to
$194,000 during the same period in 1995.
Gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 24% compared
to a 14% gross margin during the same period in 1995. This improvement in gross
margin percentage was due to the decrease in fixed manufacturing overhead
expenditures, which totaled $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a
decrease of $135,000 over the same period in 1995.
7
8
Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $345,000,
consisting of selling, general and administrative costs of $282,000 and research
and development costs of $63,000 compared to total operating expenses of
$1,119,000 for the same period in 1995 consisting of selling, general and
administrative costs of $998,000 and research and development costs of $121,000.
Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $7,000 as compared to
$53,000 in the same period of 1995. Other expense for the 1995 period consists
of primarily interest expense and bank charges relating to the Company's now
expired line of credit with Comerica Bank.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
Cash flow used by operations was $136,283 for the six month period ended June
30, 1996 compared to cash flow provided by operations of $15,038 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1995. During May 1996, the Company issued and sold
538,532 shares of its common stock to several creditors of the Company, in
consideration for their cancellation of trade payable indebtedness owed by the
Company in the aggregate amount of $386,106.
Management believes that cash flow generated from operations during 1996 will
not be sufficient to maintain minimum levels of operations or to effectively
create market awareness for the Company's products. The Company expects that
promotional and marketing expenditures, and as a result expected sales levels,
will be significantly reduced from the levels of previous years until the
Company is able to successfully complete long-term debt financing and/or private
placements of equity and/or debt securities. To address its ongoing serious cash
flow problems, the Company is attempting to obtain sufficient funds through
long-term debt financing and/or private placements of equity and/or debt
securities to provide adequate cash flow to sustain operations. The Company
entered into a letter of agreement dated July 25, 1996 with Taglich Brothers,
D'Amadeo, Wagner & Company, Inc. ("Taglich Brothers") pursuant to which Taglich
Brothers will use its best efforts to sell $1,100,000 of the Company's equity
securities. There can be no assurance that this proposed transaction will be
consummated.
The principal market maker of the Company's stock was prohibited from trading on
the NASDAQ in March, 1995 due to its failure to maintain capital requirements.
While the Company expected to engage a new market maker sometime during 1995,
it's failure to do so has adversely affected the Company's ability to
successfully complete equity financing. There can be no assurance that the
Company will obtain a market maker in the near future.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate or raise
sufficient funds to meet minimum liquidity needs in 1996,
