Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) FEBRUARY 28, 1999 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPERATIONS The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Operating results for the six-month period ended February 28, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Hertz Technology Group, Inc. ("Hertz" or the "Company") audited financial statements for the year ended at August 31, 1998. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE For the periods ended November 30 , 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". In Accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 128, net earnings per common share Amounts ("basic EPS") were computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and contingently issueable shares (which satisfy certain conditions) and excluding any potential dilution. Net earnings per common share amounts - assuming dilution ("diluted EPS") were computed by reflecting potential dilution from the exercise of stock options. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. Earnings per share amounts for the same prior-year periods have been restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128. No diluted EPS is presented, for the three months six month periods ending on February 28, 1999 and 1998, as the effect of dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive on loss per common share. 3. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT At a special meeting held on September 4, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-for-three reverse split of both the Company's common stock and Class A Warrants .On November 2, 1998, the holders of a majority of the common stock of the Company approved by written consent the inverse stock split which became effective on November 2, 1998. All share and per share data included in this report and as well as in the annual financial statements have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split. -7- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General The Company offers full service Internet, communication and networking services under the name "RemoteIT.com" through its RemoteIT.com subsidiary. The Company markets ergonomically engineered modular technical office furniture, open racking systems, enclosure cabinets, personal workstations, training desks and other space-saving products under the "Hergo" name through its Hergo subsidiary. The Company, through its LAN Metal subsidiary, provides custom specialty metal manufacturing and fabrication products and manufactures the line of Hergo products. The Company custom designs and assembles PCs and related products under the "Hertz" name through its Hertz Computer subsidiary. Through its Edutec subsidiary, the Company offers customizable state-of-the-art training rooms at its New York City offices that are equipped with the latest PC workstations and A/V presentation technology. Three Months and Six Months Ended February 28, 1999 compared to Three Months and Six Months Ended February 28, 1999 Revenues Company sales for the three months ended February 28, 1999, were $1.39 million, compared to $1.97 million for the period ended February 28, 1998, a 29% decrease. Net sales for the six months ended February 28, 1999 were $3.27 million compared to $3.77 million in the six month period ended February 28, 1998 a 13% decrease. A substantial portion of the reduction in sales was attributed to the decline in computer sales. For the three months ended February 28, 1999 Hergo and LAN sales combined were $1,197,000 compared to sales of $1,282,000 last year for the comparable period, a decrease of $85,000 (7%). Combined Hergo and LAN sales for the six months ended February 28, 1999 were $2,624,000 compared to $2,251,000 for the six month period ended February 28, 1998, a $373,000 (17%) increase. Edutec sales were $27,000 for the three months and $64,000 for the six months ended February 28,1999. Hertz Computer sales for the quarter ended February 1999 were $160,000 compared to $689,000 for the comparable period in the previous year. For the six months ended February 28, 1999 computer sales were $584,000 compared to $1,520,000 for the six months ended February 28, 1998. The Company believes that the newly formed subsidiary RemoteIT.com currently offers one of the two best opportunities for future growth. This division will be providing networking and communications products and services, Internet connectivity, web development, and other value- added services. The PC hardware market has become increasingly competitive and over saturated. The Company therefore will be directing its efforts in computer hardware manufacturing primarily as a synergistic product for the benefit that this business can bring to RemoteIT.com's computer systems integration and networking offerings. The Company is also directing its efforts in relation to expansion of the Hergo product line and is focusing its marketing efforts on expanding and developing this line. -8- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Gross Profit Gross profit was $697,000 (50% of net sales) for the three months ended February 28, 1999 as compared with $630,000 (32% of net sales) for the three months ended February 28, 1998, an increase of $67,000. Gross profit was $1,532,000 (47% of net sales) and $1,330,000 (35% of net sales) for the six months ended February 28, 1999 and February 28,1998, respectively, an increase of $202,000. Improved profit margins from Hergo and LAN for the current three month and six month periods were the result of efficiencies gained by new machinery and the reduction of the initial costs that were needed to start the LAN production operation when the division was acquired in the quarter ended February 28, 1998. Combined Gross profit generated for Hergo and LAN for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1999 was $665,000 (55% of net sales) and $1,415,000 (54% of net sales) compared to $567,000 (44% of net sales) and $1,132,000 (50% of net sales) for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1998. Gross profit generated from Hertz Computer for the six months ended February 28, 1999 was 9% of computer sales compared to 13% of sales for the same period last year. Although Hertz experienced a significant reduction in sales, it has retained some of its skilled and trained integration personnel in place. Fixed expenses such as rent and utilities could not yet be adjusted downward proportionally. The Company will pursue its efforts to recover some of its rental cost at the New York City facility by offering some of the available space for rent. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased for the quarter ended February 28, 1999 as compared to the preceding period by $264,000 and increased by $43,000 for the six months ended February 28, 1999 compared to the six months ended February 28, 1998 . Selling general and administrative expenses were impacted by the purchase of the LAN Metal division in December 1997 with its associated expenses, establishment of a shipping and warehousing facility for the Hergo line, as well as increases in selling expenses both in Hergo and in Hertz Computer. Selling expense increases included expenses in advertising and sales salaries as well as increased marketing costs. Administrative expense increases included additional costs associated with investigating possible business ventures. Administrative expenses that were incurred in the quarter and six months ended February 28, 1998 and which are not repeated in the current quarter and six month period included issuance of stock to an employee, and some additional legal and accounting costs. Additionally, during the period a year ago, additional reserves were established for resolution of an IRS audit, payment of final income taxes in reference to the Hertz Israel entity, and increased reserves for bad debts. -9- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Other Income (Expense): Other expense for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1999 was $9,000 and $3,000 compared to $18,000 and $17,000 for the comparable periods last year. Net interest income for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1999 decreased by $37,000 and $69,000 for the comparable periods last year. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to the reduction of marketable securities balances during the twelve months. This was further reduced by interest expense generated by the deferred payments of the purchase price of the LAN Metal acquisition. Provision for Income Taxes The Company recorded no tax benefit for the three-month period ended February 28, 1999. The tax benefit for the six months ended February 28, 1999 was $25,000. The tax benefit for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1998 was $284,000 and $236,000 respectively. Net Income and Earnings Per Share Operations for the three months ended February 28, 1999 resulted in a loss of approximately $306,000 or $.29 per share compared to a loss of $324,000 or $.31 per share for the three months ended February 28, 1998. Operations for the six months ended February 28, 1999 resulted in a loss of approximately $376,000 or $.35 per share compared to a loss of approximately $268,000 or $.26 per share for the comparable period last year. Loss before provision for income taxes, however, for the three months and six months ended February 28,1999 was $306,000 ($.29 per share) and $401,000 ($.38 per share) respectively compared to a loss for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1998 of $609,000 ($.58 per share) and $505,000 ($.48 per share). Increased sales by Hergo and the LAN Metal division, together with greater gross profit margins attributable to them as compared to the Computer division, resulted in a gross profit increase of $67,000 and $202,000 for the three months and six months ended February 28, 1999. -10- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources For the six months ended February 28, 1999, the Company had cash provided by operations of $683,000, as compared to cash provided by operations of $16,000, for the comparable period last year. The collections of the relatively high August 1998 accounts receivable net of the accounts payable that was attributable to the August 1998 sales was the principal reason for the increase. Net purchases of fixed assets for the six months ended February 28, 1999, were $66,000 as compared to $308,000 for the six months ended February 28, 1998. During the six months ended February 28, 1999, the Company purchased $495,000 in marketable securities. The purchase of these securities was initiated to buy back securities which were sold in the last quarter of fiscal 1998 in order to provide the Company with a temporary cash flow during the period that the Company had unusually high receivables. During the six months ended February 28, 1999, the Company purchased on the open market a total of 40,900 shares of its stock for a total of $110,000. Working capital for the three months ended November 30, 1998 was $3,497,000 compared to $4,017,000 for the year ended August 31, 1998, a $520,000 decline. The Company as of February 28, 1999 had $2,280,000 in cash and marketable securities, which are available to fund the Company's operations and expansion plan. -11- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Words "believe," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan," and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company's management identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, competition, success of new product development, effect of advertising and promotional efforts, brand awareness, the existence of or adherence to development schedules, continued patronage by existing customers, the ability to attract qualified managerial personnel, the existence or absence of adverse publicity, changes in business strategy or development plans, quality of management and terms and deployment of capital, business abilities and judgment of personnel and success in acquiring businesses. Year 2000 Compliance The Company is on schedule with a project that addresses the Year 2000 (Y2K) issue of computer systems and other equipment with embedded chips or processors not being able to properly recognize and process date-sensitive information after December 31, 1999. Many systems use only two digits rather than four to define the year and these systems will not be able to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. This may lead to disruptions in the operations of business and governmental entities resulting from miscalculations or system failures. The project is designed to ensure the compliance of all of the Company's applications, operating systems and hardware platforms, and to address the compliance of key business partners. Key business partners are those customers and vendors that have a material impact on the Company's operations. All phases of the project should be completed by mid-1999 thus minimizing the impact of the Y2K problem on the Company's operations. The total estimated cost of the required modifications to become Y2K compliant should not be material to the Company's financial position. Failure to make all internal business systems Y2K compliant could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, some of the Company's business activities or operations. Y2K disruptions in the operations of key vendors could impact the Company's ability to obtain components necessary for the manufacture of products and fulfillment of contractual obligations. If one or more of these situations occur, the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. The Company is unable to determine the readiness of its key business partners at this time and is therefore unable to determine whether the consequences of Y2K failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The Y2K project is expected to significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the Y2K problem and reduce the possibility of significant interruptions of normal business operations. -12- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS New Accounting Standards In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way public companies report information about operating segments. SFAS No. 131, which is based on the management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the material countries in which the entity holds assets and reports revenue. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 for reporting on the 10K for fiscal year end 1999. -13- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS (a) As a result of the one for three reverse stock split on November 2, 1998, the 2,530,000 outstanding Class A Warrants were reduced to approximately 843,334. Each Warrant after the split will be exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $16.50. The price of the Company's Common Stock at which the Class A Warrant becomes redeemable by the Company has been adjusted upward from $8.75 to $26.25. The Warrants are exercisable through November 11, 2001. (b) The Company registered Common Stock and Warrants in an initial public offering on Form SB-2 which became effective on November 12, 1996. After deducting $1,488,778 in expenses incurred in connection with the offering, an aggregate of $5,468,721 of net proceeds was realized by the Company.
