NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company, under
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
accompanying financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair
presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
under such rules and regulations although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The March 31, 2002 balance sheet data was derived from the audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes included on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2002. Interim results of operations for the six-month
period ended September 30, 2002 may not necessarily be indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
----------------------------------
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or
loss by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per
common share is computed on the basis of weighted average shares
outstanding plus potential common shares which would arise from the
exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of the Series A
preferred stock.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expense during the reporting period. The Company's significant
estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and
valuation of deferred taxes and warrants. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146 "Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which is effective
January 1, 2003. SFAS 146 provides than an exit cost liability should not
always be recorded at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan,
but instead should be recorded when the obligation is incurred. An entity's
commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create an obligation that meets
the definition of a liability. The Company does not expect SFAS 146 to have
a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain items in the financial statements of the prior period have been
reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Segment Information
-------------------
The Company does not identify separate operating segments for management
reporting purposes. The results of operations are the basis on which
management evaluates operations and makes business decisions. The Company's
sales are generated primarily within the United States of America.
(2) INVENTORIES

(3) LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE
--------------------------------
As of September 30, 2002, the Company had a line of credit with a maximum
principal amount of $7.5 million from FINOVA Capital Corporation ("FINOVA
Capital"), the proceeds of which are for working capital purposes. The
amount that the Company can borrow under the line of credit is based on a
formula of up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible
inventories not to exceed $3 million, as defined in the agreement. Pursuant
to a certain Amendment and Limited Waiver to Security Agreement dated June
26, 2002, the inventory advance rate decreases by 1% per month beginning
July 1, 2002 from a level of 50% at June 30, 2002 to 37% by the maturity
date (47% at September 30, 2002). The line of credit is secured by all
accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment, trademarks and
patents owned by the Company. Interest is payable monthly on the
outstanding draws on the line of credit at a rate of prime plus four
percent (8.75% at September 30, 2002). The line of credit expires on July
1, 2003, at which time the entire outstanding principal amount of the line
of credit, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is due and payable
in full. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had an outstanding balance
of $4,899,822 under this line.
On September 30, 1999, the Company obtained a $4 million subordinated loan
from FINOVA Mezzanine Capital, Inc. ("FINOVA Mezzanine"). The Company
received loan proceeds in the amount of $3,620,000 after paying loan costs
of $380,000. Amounts outstanding under the loan are secured by a
subordinated lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. A balloon
payment of the entire principal amount of the loan, and all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, is due upon maturity on July 1, 2003. Interest on
the loan is payable monthly at a rate of 15.5% per annum. In consideration
of the loan, the Company issued to FINOVA Mezzanine a warrant to purchase
915,000 shares of our common stock (of which 100,000 shares remain
unexercised) at an exercise price of $3.41 per share which represented 80%
of the fair value of our stock on the date the warrant was issued. The
warrant was valued at $786,900 which was recorded as a debt discount and
was amortized to interest expense from the date of issuance of the note to
an original earlier maturity date of the note in October 2002. As of
September 30, 2002, this discount has been fully amortized to interest
expense and the Company had an outstanding balance of $4,000,000 under this
loan.
The line of credit and subordinated loan described above contain certain
financial and operating covenants. In June 2002, the Company notified
FINOVA Capital and FINOVA Mezzanine that it had failed to comply with the
minimum operational cash flow to contractual debt service ratio and the
funded debt to EBITDA ratio. FINOVA Capital agreed to waive those
violations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2002 and to amend such covenants for the fiscal quarters
beginning July 1, 2002, pursuant to a certain Amendment and Limited Waiver
to Security Agreement dated June 26, 2002. FINOVA Mezzanine also agreed to
waive the violations of its covenants for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2002 and the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, and to amend those
covenants for future fiscal quarters pursuant to a letter agreement dated
June 26, 2002 and amendments to the subordinated notes. In consideration of
the waivers and covenant amendments, the Company agreed to pay a facility
fee of $413,500, which was deemed fully earned on June 26, 2002. The
facility fee is payable as follows: $172,500 is due and payable on the
earliest of (a) July 1, 2003, (b) the occurrence of an event of default, or
(c) the date on which the Company repays either all of the obligations to
FINOVA Capital under the Loan Agreement or any portion of the principal
obligations to FINOVA Mezzanine under the FINOVA Mezzanine loan documents,
with the balance of $241,000 due and payable only upon FINOVA Mezzanine's
exercise of its remaining 100,000 warrants. The Company was in compliance
with all revised covenants for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
In March 2000, the Company obtained a $10 million term loan from SouthTrust
Bank, N.A. This note bears interest at prime rate (4.75% at September 30,
2002) and is due in monthly principal installments of $93,000 plus
interest. In a letter agreement dated September 27, 2002, the bank deferred
the four principal payments, due in June 2002 through September 2002, until
the maturity of the note. The note matures in March 2005. The balance
outstanding on this note as of September 30, 2002 was $8,593,734. This term
loan is secured by certain machinery and equipment.
In October 2000, the Company's president guaranteed a $1.5 million
short-term bridge loan that it obtained from SouthTrust Bank, N.A. by
pledging one million of his shares of the Company's common stock to secure
the loan. Interest on this note is at the prime rate (4.75% at September
30, 2002). The loan is being paid down by monthly principal payments of
$50,000 plus interest. In a letter agreement dated September 27, 2002, the
bank deferred the four principal payments, due in June 2002 through
September 2002, until the maturity of the note. The note matures in October
2003. The balance outstanding on this note as of September 30, 2002 was
$900,000.
8
The term loan and the short-term bridge loan from SouthTrust Bank, N.A.
contain certain financial and operating covenants. The Company was in
violation of all financial covenants at March 31, 2002. On June 27, 2002,
the Company received a waiver for the year ended March 31, 2002 and for all
future periods through July 1, 2003.
In March 2002, Angelo Morini, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
President, obtained a personal home equity line of credit and loaned
$330,000 to the Company in order for it to pay down certain notes payable
that were coming due. This loan bears interest at prime (4.75% at September
30, 2002) and is due on or before June 15, 2006.
On June 26, 2002, the Company signed a $550,000 promissory note with
Excalibur Limited Partnership, one of the holders of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock. In consideration of the note, the Company issued Excalibur
Limited Partnership a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock,
which are exercisable until June 26, 2007 at a price equal to $5.50 per
share. This note was non-interest bearing assuming that it was repaid on or
before July 26, 2002. This note was secured by 250,000 shares of Common
Stock owned by the Angelo S. Morini, the Company's Chief Executive Officer
and President. In consideration of his guarantee and related pledge, the
Company granted Mr. Morini stock options to acquire 289,940 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.17 (110% of market) per share.
These options have subsequently been repriced to $2.05 (See Note 9), and
shall expire on July 1, 2007. On June 26, 2002, the Company received loan
proceeds in the amount of $500,000 in cash. The additional $50,000 was
retained by Excalibur Limited Partnership as payment for consulting fees
due to Excalibur Limited Partnership in accordance with a consulting
agreement entered into on June 26, 2002, which expires December 31, 2002.
This note was paid in full on June 28th from proceeds derived from the
issuance of common stock as discussed in Note 5.
On August 15, 2002, the Company signed a $347,475 promissory note with
Target Container, Inc. in satisfaction of its accounts payable obligation
to this vendor. This note bears interest at 7% per annum and is due in
twelve equal monthly installments of $30,066. The balance outstanding on
this note as of September 30, 2002 was $319,436.
(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
On May 17, 2002, Schreiber Foods, Inc. of Green Bay Wisconsin filed a
lawsuit against the Company in the federal district court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin ("Wisconsin lawsuit"), being Case No. 02-C-0498,
alleging various acts of patent infringement. The Complaint alleges that
the Company's machines for wrapping of individual cheese slices,
manufactured by Kustner Industries, S.A. of Switzerland, known as models KE
and KD, and the Company's machines for producing individually wrapped
slices manufactured by Hart Design Mfg., Inc. of Green Bay, Wisconsin,
infringe unspecified claims of U.S. Patents Nos. 5,440,860, 5,701,724 and
6,085,680. Additionally, the Complaint refers to U.S. Patent No. 5,112,632,
but it does not explicitly allege infringement of that patent; because the
case is in the earliest stages, there has not yet been an opportunity to
determine whether Schreiber Foods intends to pursue allegations of
infringement of the 5,112,632 Patent against the Company. Schreiber Foods
is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the Company
from further infringing acts and is also seeking damages in the nature of
either lost profits or reasonable royalties.
On or about July 10, 2002, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the
Wisconsin lawsuit on the grounds that Schreiber Technologies, Inc., not
Schreiber Foods, is the owner of the asserted patents. Also on July 10,
2002, the Company filed a Declaratory Judgment action against Schreiber
Technologies, Inc. in the federal court for the Middle District of Florida,
being case No. 02-CV-784, seeking a declaration that the Company does not
infringe these patents and/or that the patents are invalid and
unenforceable. Schreiber Foods has opposed the Motion to Dismiss claiming
that it reacquired ownership of the patents. Schreiber Technologies has
moved to dismiss the Florida action claiming that it does not own the
patents.
The Company is not in a position at this time to express a view on the
likelihood that it will succeed in its position, nor in the amount of
damages that might be awarded against it should it be unsuccessful in that
regard.
(5) CAPITAL STOCK
-------------
On April 6, 2001, in accordance with an exemption from registration under
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Company received proceeds of approximately $3,082,000 less costs of
$181,041 for the issuance of 72,646 shares of the Company's Series A
convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock. The shares are subject to certain designations,
preferences and rights, including the right to convert each preferred share
into ten shares of common stock, the right to a ten percent stock dividend
after one year of issuance payable in shares of preferred stock, and an
eight percent stock dividend for
9
the subsequent three years thereafter payable in either cash or shares of
preferred stock. The per share conversion price is the lower of (x) $4.08
or (y) 95% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices on the
American Stock Exchange of the common stock out of the fifteen trading days
prior to conversion. The liquidation preference of each preferred share is
$48.18 plus accrued dividends ($54.93 at September 30, 2002).
The holders of the preferred stock have the right to require the Company to
redeem their shares of preferred stock on April 6, 2005 or upon occurrence
of other events, as defined. The redemption price shall be paid in cash at
a price per preferred share equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the
preference amount ($48.18 plus accrued dividends) or (b) an amount equal to
the product of (1) the number of shares of common stock then issuable to
the holders upon conversion of the preferred stock being redeemed and (2)
the market price on the date of redemption.
For the six months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company has
recorded accrued dividends of $140,000 for the 8% preferred stock dividend
and $175,000 for the 10% preferred stock dividend, respectively, in
connection with the issuance of the preferred stock and warrants. The
Company recorded a discount on preferred stock of $2,003,770 related to the
beneficial conversion feature ($1,449,370), the fair value of the initial
warrants ($277,200) and redemption warrants ($277,200) and the fair value
of the mandatory redemption price. The excess of the initial redemption
value of $4,391,861 over the initial carrying value of $523,830 is
$3,868,031 and is being accreted and recorded as dividends over the
redemption period (48 months beginning April 2001) using the straight line
method, which approximates the effective interest method. In addition, the
redemption value is recalculated every quarter based on changes in the
Company's stock price. The resulting change in the redemption value is then
added to or subtracted from the $3,868,031 initial amount to be accreted.
For the six months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded
$74,697 and $667,491, respectively, related to the beneficial conversion
feature of accrued dividends and the accretion of the redemption value of
preferred stock. As of September 30, 2002, the value of the redeemable
convertible preferred stock is $2,222,258.
In accordance with Regulation D and pursuant to a certain Common Stock and
Warrants Purchase Agreement dated June 28, 2002, the Company sold 367,647
shares of Common Stock on June 28, 2002 for $4.08 (85% of an average market
price) and issued warrants to purchase 122,549 shares of Common Stock at a
price equal to $5.52 per share to Stonestreet Limited Partnership. In
connection with such sale, the Company issued 7,812 shares of Common Stock
to Stonestreet Corporation and 4,687 shares of Common Stock to H&H
Securities Limited in exchange for their services as finders. Per the terms
of the agreement, the Company received net proceeds of $930,000, after the
repayment of a $550,000 promissory note dated June 26, 2002 in favor of
Excalibur Limited Partnership and payment of $20,000 for Stonestreet
Limited Partnership's costs and expenses related to the purchase of these
shares of Common Stock.
In accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and pursuant to a Food Service Brokerage Agreement dated June 25, 2002, the
Company issued 141,221 shares of Common Stock for $4.08 per share on
September 9, 2002 to certain food brokers in consideration for prior
services rendered valued at $576,179.
In accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 27, 2002, the
Company issued 65,404 shares of Common Stock for $4.08 per share in
settlement of an outstanding payable to Hart Design and Manufacturing, Inc.
in the amount of $266,848.
(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-----------------
On October 11, 2002 through unanimous consent of the Board of Directors,
the Company repriced all outstanding options granted to employees prior to
this date (4,284,108 shares at former prices ranging from $2.84 to $10.28)
to the market price of $2.05 per share. In addition, the Company repriced
the outstanding warrants held by current consultants prior to this date
(291,429 shares at former prices ranging from $3.31 to $5.50) to the market
price of $2.05 per share. This stock option repricing will result in
variable accounting treatment for these stock options in future periods.
Variable accounting treatment will result in unpredictable stock-based
compensation expense or income depending on fluctuations in quoted prices
for the Company's common stock. Assuming no options or warrants are
exercised or canceled, a $0.01 increase in the Company's stock price will
result in a non-cash compensation expense of approximately $46,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. The
following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, the attainment of which involves various risks and uncertainties. These
forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and
projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions
made by us. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"estimate", "anticipate", "continue", or similar terms, variations of these
terms or the negative of those terms. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results may
differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements due
to among other factors, competition in our product markets, dependence on
suppliers, our manufacturing experience, and production delays or
inefficiencies. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes
available or other events occur in the future.
Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc. (the "Company") is principally engaged in
developing, manufacturing and marketing a variety of healthy cheese and dairy
related products, as well as other cheese alternatives, and is a leading
producer of soy-based alternative dairy products. These healthy cheese and dairy
related products include low or no fat, low or no cholesterol and lactose-free
varieties. These products are sold throughout the United States and
internationally to customers in the retail and food service markets. The
Company's headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Orlando,
Florida.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expense during the
reporting period. The Company's significant estimates include the allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable and valuation of deferred taxes and warrants.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company records revenue upon shipment of products to its customers and there
is reasonable assurance of collection on the sale. It provides credit terms to
customers usually based on net 30 days. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its accounts receivable and makes reserves for anticipated future
credits that will be issued to its customers for promotions, discounts, spoils,
etc., based on historical experience. In addition, the Company evaluates the
accounts for potential uncollectible amounts. The reserve for accounts
receivable is then adjusted to reflect these estimates. At September 30, 2002
and March 31, 2002, the Company had reserved approximately $815,000 and $678,000
for known and anticipated future credits and doubtful accounts. During the six
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded $158,300 and
$475,000, respectively, of expense related to anticipated future credits and
doubtful accounts.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (weighted average, which
approximates FIFO) or market. The Company reviews its inventory valuation each
month and writes down the inventory for potential obsolete and damaged
inventory. In addition, the inventory value is reduced to market value when the
known sales price is less than the cost of the inventory.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax
payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period
in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("FAS 123"), Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation, requires the Company to report compensation expense on
warrants issued to non-employees for services rendered, in accordance with the
fair value based method prescribed in FAS 123. The Company estimates the fair
value of each warrant based on the expected vesting due to performance
requirements set forth in the warrant or service agreement and life of the
warrant by using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions used in the fiscal 2003 option-pricing
13
model: no dividend yield, 37% volatility, risk-free interest rate of 4.06%, and
expected lives of five years. Assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2002: no
dividend yield, 38% volatility, risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.75%, and
expected lives of ten years.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During fiscal year 2000, the Company experienced increasing demand for its
products but was unable to fill all of the orders it received due, in part, to a
lack of production capacity. During the latter part of fiscal 2001 and the
beginning of fiscal 2002, the Company significantly increased its production
capacity by purchasing and installing additional production equipment for six
new production lines that included two slice lines, a chunk cheese line, a cup
line, a string cheese line, and a shred line. This equipment enables the Company
to produce new products, improve product quality, and increase the production
volume of existing products. The installation of the equipment was delayed
significantly due to late shipments by manufacturers and problems configuring
the machines to meet the manufacturing needs of our unique line of products, but
was completed by September 2001. Because of the delays in the installation of
the equipment, the Company experienced excess overhead costs and downtime during
the first and second quarters of fiscal 2002, which resulted in increased costs
and reduced cash flows for those periods. Additionally, although a substantial
portion of the purchase price and installation costs incurred in connection with
the new equipment was financed through a loan obtained from SouthTrust Bank,
N.A., the Company used nearly all of the excess cash that the Company had at the
time to purchase and install the new equipment. As a result of the large cash
outlays related to this expansion along with the delays in new product shipment,
the Company experienced shortfalls in cash that affected nearly every aspect of
its operations in fiscal 2002. In fiscal 2003, the Company has returned to
positive cash flow levels through efficiencies in production, purchase discounts
and additional cost reductions. All excess cash has been put back into
operations to improve the Company's operations and financial position.
NET SALES were $10,117,995 in the three months ended September 30, 2002,
compared to net sales of $11,372,764 for the three months ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of 11%. The Company experienced an overall decrease of 13% for
the first six months of fiscal 2003 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002.
Although sales in fiscal 2003 is a decrease from the sales levels in the first
half of fiscal 2002, the sales are at the same level (approx. $10 million) as
they were for the fourth quarter ended fiscal 2002. The decrease in fiscal 2003
sales compared to fiscal 2002 is attributed to the significant reduction in cash
flows in fiscal 2002 as described above. As a result of the cash shortages and
short shipments, the Company made a strategic product mix decision and decided
to focus on its higher-margin brand name products under the Veggie brand and
turn away certain private label business. While demand for the Company's
products and private label business continues to increase, sales growth was
maintained at lower levels so that the Company can grow profitably.
COSTS OF GOODS SOLD were $7,047,230 representing 70% of net sales for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, compared with $9,547,698 or 84% of net sales
for the same period ended September 30, 2001. These costs represented 71% and
78% of net sales for the six months ended September 2002 and 2001, respectively.
There was an overall decrease in costs of $3,885,900 in the six months of fiscal
2003 compared to fiscal 2002. This decrease in direct materials cost is
primarily the result of several factors: (a) a decrease of $2.4 million in
proportion to the decrease in sales, (b) the completed installation of the new
equipment in fiscal 2002 resulted in an increase of $186,000 in depreciation and
personal property taxes in the first half of fiscal 2003. However, in response
to the additional efficiencies that the new equipment is now providing, the
Company substantially decreased the number of production personnel late in
fiscal 2002, which caused labor-related expenses to decrease approximately
$886,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, (c) a decrease of $600,000 in
inventory write-offs. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company changed
its production focus by scaling back its product mix to 200 core items that made
up nearly 98% of sales. As a result of the change in focus, the Company provided
for a $600,000 reserve for potential obsolete and slow moving inventory; and (d)
a decrease of $200,000 in raw material costs due to improved vendor relations,
lower raw material costs and purchase discounts. Now that the equipment is fully
operational and the labor crews are trained, the Company is seeing improved run
rates with more, high-quality product produced per hour. This resulted in gross
margin increasing from the annual rate of 19% in fiscal 2002 to 29% in the first
six months of fiscal 2003. The Company expects that with its increased
efficiencies in labor, production and purchasing along with tight controls on
product mix, it will continue to sustain its improved margins in fiscal 2003.
SELLING expenses were $1,401,342 and $2,459,673 for the three and six months
ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared with $1,895,611 and $3,516,096
for the three and six months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, a decrease
of 26% and 30% in the respective periods. The decrease in expenses is due to
further reductions in advertising
14
and promotional expenses of approximately $709,000 in the first six months of
fiscal 2003 compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. In 2002, more promotions
were directed to provide incentives to our direct customers for brand item
purchases. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease (approximately 13%)
in brokerage and salary costs proportional to the decrease in net sales and a
decrease in travel costs in excess of $104,000. The Company expects that fiscal
2003 selling expenses will continue to remain at levels below that of fiscal
2002 expenses based on the Company's current plan for advertising and
promotional allowances that are granted on volume purchases rather than on
individual item discounts.
DELIVERY expenses were $511,954 and $1,083,516 for the three and six months
ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared with $570,362 and $1,212,621
for the same periods ended September 30, 2001. Delivery expenses approximate 5%
of net sales each period. The decrease in delivery costs is primarily in
proportion to the decrease in net sales.
NON-CASH COMPENSATION RELATED TO OPTIONS AND WARRANTs showed an income of
$1,348,089 and $2,985,350 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2002,
respectively, compared to an expense of $2,051,638 and $3,629,267 for the three
and six months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"), which clarifies the
application of APB Opinion 25 relating to the accounting consequences of various
modifications to fixed stock options. FIN 44 states that when an option is
repriced, it is treated as a variable option and is marked to market each
quarter. In accordance with FIN 44, the underlying options related to the
$12,772,200 note receivable from Angelo S. Morini, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and President, are treated as variable due to the nature of the note
being a non-interest bearing and non-recourse note. Accordingly, any differences
between the exercise price of the options ($4.38) and the market price of the
Company's common stock is recorded as compensation income or expense at each
reporting period. During the six months ended September 30, 2002, the market
value of the Company's stock decreased from $5.43 at March 31, 2002 to $3.14 at
September 30, 2002. Therefore, the Company recorded a $3,060,000 decrease in the
compensation related to this decrease in stock value to the floor of $4.38.
Additionally, the Company recorded a $74,650 expense related to the fair value
of warrants issued for consulting services. During the six months ended
September 30, 2001, the market value of the Company's stock increased from $4.76
at March 31, 2001 to $6.00 at September 30, 2001. Therefore, the Company
recorded a $3,629,267 increase in the compensation related to this increase in
stock value. Additionally, the Company recorded an $8,124 expense related to the
fair value of warrants issued for consulting services. Due to the volatility of
the market price of the Company's common stock, it is incapable of predicting
whether this expense will increase or decrease in the future. A $0.01 increase
or decrease in the Company's common stock price results in an expense or income,
respectively, of $29,143.
On October 11, 2002 through unanimous consent of the Board of Directors, the
Company repriced all outstanding options granted to employees prior to this date
(4,284,108 shares at former prices ranging from $2.84 to $10.28) to the market
price of $2.05 per share. In addition, the Company repriced the outstanding
warrants held by current consultants prior to this date (291,429 shares at
former prices ranging from $3.31 to $5.50) to the market price of $2.05 per
share. This stock option repricing will result in variable accounting treatment
for these stock options in future periods. Variable accounting treatment will
result in unpredictable stock-based compensation expense or income depending on
fluctuations in quoted prices for the Company's common stock. Assuming no
options or warrants are exercised or canceled, a $0.01 increase in the Company's
stock price will result in a non-cash compensation expense of approximately
$46,000.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE expenses were $747,243 and $1,588,749 for the three
and six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared with $1,589,994
and $2,410,541 for the same periods ended September 30, 2001, a 53% and 34%
respective decrease. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in bad debt
expense and personnel costs in 2003 along with a general reduction in standard
administrative expenses due to cost cutting measures implemented at the end of
fiscal 2002.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses were $56,440 and $114,214 for the three and
six months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared with $44,540 and
$97,856 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, a
27% and 17% respective increase. This increase is primarily the result of a
change in the allocation of general overhead costs to this department. The
Company expects that these expenses will remain at this level throughout fiscal
2003.
INTEREST expense increased $470,990 or 34% in the first six months of fiscal
2003 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2002. This increase was $279,786
or 41% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2001. On September 30, 1999, the Company entered into
a $4,000,000 subordinated note payable with FINOVA Mezzanine Capital, Inc.
("FINOVA Mezzanine"). This debt currently bears interest at a rate of
15
15.5% and includes an original issuance discount of $786,900, which is amortized
as interest expense over the term of the debt. In connection with FINOVA
Mezzanine's warrant exercise and transfer of 815,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, the Company agreed to guarantee the price at which the shares were
sold to the public at $4.41 per share. The actual price received by FINOVA
Mezzanine was $3.25 per share and the difference of $945,400 was recorded as a
debt discount and is being amortized over the remaining term of the subordinated
note. During the six months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, $614,230 and
$204,743, respectively, of the total debt discount of $1,732,300 was amortized
to interest expense. This non-cash amortization increased by $409,487 because
the period of this loan was shortened by FINOVA Mezzanine in a waiver issued in
November 2001. In addition, the loan fees amortized to interest expense
increased approximately $303,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2002
due to additional loan costs and the shortened loan periods. The increase in the
above mentioned amortization was offset by a decrease of approximately $242,000
in interest expense as a result of lower debt balances during fiscal 2003
compared to fiscal 2002. See "Debt Financing" below for further detail on the
Company's outstanding debts and interest rates thereon.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OPERATING ACTIVITIES - Net cash from operating activities was $948,197 for the
six months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net cash used of $627,534 for
the same period ended September 30, 2001. The increase in cash from operations
is primarily attributable to a net income of $1,751,755 reduced by non-cash
items of $1,073,875 (or $677,880) evidencing the improved gross margins and
reduction in cash operating expenditures in fiscal 2003 along with further
reductions in inventory levels. In fiscal 2002, the Company used a significant
portion of its cash to decrease its amounts payable to vendors and to fund
operating losses.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES - Net cash used in investing activities totaled $359,392
for the six months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net cash used of
$371,439 for the same period ended September 30, 2001. The cash used for
investing activities during fiscal 2003 resulted from the increase in deferred
loan costs related to the FINOVA Capital and FINOVA Mezzanine loans as further
discussed below and the purchase of equipment. These deferred loan costs are
capitalized and expensed to interest over the life of the loans. The cash used
in fiscal 2002 was all used to purchase equipment.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES - Net cash flows used by financing activities were $587,300
for the six months ended September 30, 2002 compared to cash flows provided by
financing activities of $3,746,394 for the same period ended September 30, 2001.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company received loan proceeds from
Excalibur Limited Partnership in the amount of $500,000 in cash. The proceeds of
which were used to pay down a portion of the Company's outstanding debt under
its term loan from SouthTrust Bank, N.A. In addition, the Company raised
$1,500,000 through the issuance of common stock (as further discussed below).
These proceeds were used to pay off its term loan from Excalibur Limited
Partnership and for working capital purposes. The Company used its cash from
operating activities to reduce the balance of the Company's outstanding debt
under its line of credit from FINOVA Capital. The large cash flows from
financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2001 were
primarily the result of the issuance of common and preferred stock. The majority
of these proceeds were used to pay down the line of credit from FINOVA Capital
and to finance the Company's operating activities in fiscal 2002.
Debt Financing
As of September 30, 2002, the Company had a line of credit with a maximum
principal amount of $7.5 million from FINOVA Capital Corporation, the proceeds
of which are for working capital purposes. The amount that the Company can
borrow under the line of credit is based on a formula of up to 80% of eligible
accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventories not to exceed $3 million,
as defined in the agreement. Pursuant to a certain Amendment and Limited Waiver
to Security Agreement dated June 26, 2002, the inventory advance rate decreases
by 1% per month beginning July 1, 2002 from a level of 50% at June 30, 2002 to
37% by the maturity date (47% at September 30, 2002). The line of credit is
secured by all accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment, trademarks
and patents owned by the Company. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding
draws on the line of credit at a rate of prime plus four percent (8.75% at
September 30, 2002). The line of credit expires on July 1, 2003, at which time
the entire outstanding principal amount of the line of credit, and all accrued
but unpaid interest thereon, is due and payable in full. As of September 30,
2002, the Company had an outstanding balance of $4,899,822 under this line.
On September 30, 1999, the Company obtained a $4 million subordinated loan from
FINOVA Mezzanine to finance additional working capital and capital improvement
needs. The Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $3,620,000 after
paying loan costs of $380,000. Amounts outstanding under the loan are secured by
a subordinated lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. A balloon
payment of the entire principal amount of the loan, and all
16
accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is due upon maturity in July 2003. The
interest rate applicable to the loan was increased from 11.5% to 13.5% in July
2001. In February 2002, the interest rate increased to 15.5%. In consideration
of the loan, the Company issued to FINOVA Mezzanine a warrant to purchase
915,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.41 per share which
represented 80% of the fair value of our stock on the date the warrant was
issued. The warrant, valued at $786,900, was recorded as a debt discount was
amortized to interest expense from the date of issuance of the note to an
original earlier maturity date of the note in October 2002. As of September 30,
2002, the discount has been fully amortized to interest expense and the Company
had an outstanding principal balance of $4,000,000 under this loan.
On December 26, 2000, the FINOVA Mezzanine exercised a portion of the warrant to
purchase 815,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $3.41 per share. The
Company received from the exercise of the warrant net proceeds of $2,452,329,
after paying transaction costs of $326,822. In connection with this transaction,
the Company agreed to reimburse FINOVA Mezzanine for brokerage commission and
other expenses incurred by it, in connection with the sale of the 815,000 shares
to the public, which were sold at a price of $3.25 per share. These costs and
expenses were recorded as a reduction in the proceeds received from the exercise
of the warrants. In addition, the Company agreed to guarantee the price ($4.41
per share) at which the shares would be sold to the public. The difference
between the actual price received by FINOVA Mezzanine ($3.25) and the guaranteed
price ($4.41) was $945,400, which was recorded as a debt discount and is being
amortized over the remaining term of the subordinated note. The consideration
for the difference between the exercise price of $3.41 and the guaranteed price
of $4.41 was $815,000. FINOVA Mezzanine agreed to finance such amount under an
additional subordinated term loan which was payable in full on December 29,
2001. However, the Company obtained an extension for a fee of $55,000 and made
payments of $30,000 per business day through February 28, 2002, at which time
the additional loan was paid in full. During the six months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001, $614,230 and $204,743, respectively, of the total debt discounts
of $1,732,300 were amortized to interest expense. At September 30, 2002, there
were no remaining unamortized debt discounts and the remaining principal balance
due on the notes was $4,000,000.
The line of credit and subordinated loans described above contain certain
financial and operating covenants. In June 2002, the Company notified FINOVA
Capital and FINOVA Mezzanine that it had failed to comply with the minimum
operational cash flow to contractual debt service ratio and the funded debt to
EBITDA ratio. FINOVA Capital agreed to waive those violations for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002 and the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002 and to
amend such covenants for the fiscal quarters beginning July 1, 2002, pursuant to
a certain Amendment and Limited Waiver to Security Agreement dated June 26,
2002. FINOVA Capital extended the maturity date from October 15, 2002 to July 1,
2003, removed any prepayment penalties, reduced the credit line from $13 million
to $7.5 million, reduced the inventory limit from $6 million to $3 million, and
will reduce the inventory advance rate by 1% per month beginning July 1, 2002
(from a level of 50% at June 30, 2002 to 37% by the maturity date). FINOVA
Mezzanine also agreed to waive the violations of its covenants for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002 and the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, and to
amend those covenants for future fiscal quarters pursuant to a letter agreement
dated June 26, 2002 and amendments to the subordinated notes. In consideration
of the waivers and covenant amendments, the Company agreed to pay a facility fee
of $413,500, which was deemed fully earned on June 26, 2002. The facility fee is
payable as follows: $172,500 is due and payable on the earliest of (a) July 1,
2003, (b) the occurrence of an event of default, or (c) the date on which the
Company repays either all of the obligations to FINOVA Capital under the Loan
Agreement or any portion of the principal obligations to FINOVA Mezzanine under
the FINOVA Mezzanine loan documents, with the balance of $241,000 due and
payable only upon FINOVA Mezzanine's exercise of its remaining 100,000 warrants.
The Company was in compliance with all revised covenants for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002.
In March 2000, the Company obtained a $10 million term loan from SouthTrust
Bank, N.A. This note bears interest at prime rate (4.75% at September 30, 2002)
and is due in monthly principal installments of $93,000 plus interest. In a
letter agreement dated September 27, 2002, the bank deferred the four principal
payments, due in June 2002 through September 2002, until the maturity of the
note. The note matures in March 2005. The balance outstanding on this note as of
September 30, 2002 was $8,593,734. This note was used to pay off a prior term
loan and to finance approximately $7.5 million in new equipment purchases to
expand our production capacity, including the new production equipment purchased
and installed throughout fiscal 2001 and the beginning of fiscal 2002. This term
loan is secured by certain machinery and equipment, including the Company's new
production equipment.
In October 2000, Angelo S. Morini, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
President, guaranteed a $1.5 million short-term bridge loan that the Company
obtained from SouthTrust Bank, N.A. by pledging one million of his shares of the
Company's Common Stock to secure the loan. Interest on this note is at the prime
rate (4.75% at March 31, 2002).
17
The loan is being paid down by monthly principal payments of $50,000 plus
interest. In a letter agreement dated September 27, 2002, the bank deferred the
four principal payments, due in June 2002 through September 2002, until the
maturity of the note. The note matures in October 2003. The balance outstanding
on this note as of September 30, 2002 was $900,000. In consideration of his
guarantee and related pledge, the Company granted Mr. Morini stock options to
acquire 343,125 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.88 per share.
These options have subsequently been repriced to $2.05 (See Note 9), and shall
expire on December 15, 2010.
The term loan and the short-term bridge loan from SouthTrust Bank, N.A. contain
certain financial and operating covenants. The Company was in violation of all
financial covenants at March 31, 2002. On June 27, 2002, the Company received a
waiver for the year ended March 31, 2002 and for all future periods through July
1, 2003.
In March 2002, Angelo Morini, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
President, obtained a personal home equity line of credit and loaned $330,000 to
the Company in order for it to pay down certain notes payable that were coming
due. This loan bears interest at prime (4.75% at September 30, 2002) and is due
on or before June 15, 2006.
On May 24, 2002, in consideration of this personal loan to the Company and his
continued guarantee and related pledge of one million of his shares of the
Company's common stock for the loan with SouthTrust Bank, N.A. (See Note 3), the
Company granted Mr. Morini stock options to acquire 1,163,898 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $5.72 (110% of market) per share. These options
have subsequently been repriced to $2.05 (See Note 9), and shall expire on May
24, 2012.
On June 26, 2002, the Company signed a $550,000 promissory note with Excalibur
Limited Partnership, one of the holders of the Company's Series A Preferred
Stock. In consideration of the note, the Company issued Excalibur Limited
Partnership a warrant to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock, which are
exercisable until June 26, 2007 at a price equal to $5.50 per share. This note
was non-interest bearing assuming that it was repaid on or before July 26, 2002.
This note was secured by 250,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the Angelo S.
Morini, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President. In consideration of
his guarantee and related pledge, the Company granted Mr. Morini stock options
to acquire 289,940 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.17 (110% of
market) per share. These options have subsequently been repriced to $2.05 (See
Note 9), and shall expire on July 1, 2007. On June 26, 2002, the Company
received loan proceeds in the amount of $500,000 in cash. The additional $50,000
was retained by Excalibur Limited Partnership as payment for consulting fees due
to Excalibur Limited Partnership in accordance with a consulting agreement
entered into on June 26, 2002, which expires December 31, 2002. This note was
paid in full on June 28th from proceeds derived from the issuance of common
stock as discussed below.
On August 15, 2002, the Company signed a $347,475 promissory note with Target
Container, Inc. in satisfaction of its accounts payable obligation to this
vendor. This note bears interest at 7% per annum and is due in twelve equal
monthly installments of $30,066.
Equity Financing
On April 6, 2001, the Company issued to BH Capital Investments, L.P. and
Excalibur Limited Partnership, in accordance with an exemption from registration
under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Regulation D"), (i) an aggregate of 72,646 shares of the Company's Series A
convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value (the "Series A Preferred Stock"),
and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of the Common Stock, at an aggregate sales
price of approximately $3,082,000. The Series A Preferred Stock is subject to
certain designations, preferences and rights set forth in our Certificate of
Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
including the right to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock at any
time, at a current conversion rate (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other events) equal to the
quotient of:
o $48.18, plus all accrued dividends that are then unpaid for each share
of Series A Preferred Stock then held by the holder,
divided by,
o the lesser of (x) $4.08 or (y) 95% of the average of the two lowest
closing bid prices on the American Stock Exchange of the Common Stock
out of the fifteen trading days immediately prior to conversion;
provided that, in certain circumstances, such amount may not fall
below $3.10.
18
In no case, however, shall any holder of Series A Preferred Stock be permitted
to convert Series A Preferred Stock in an amount that would cause such holder to
beneficially own, in the aggregate, such number of shares of Common Stock which
would exceed 9.99% of the aggregate outstanding shares of Common Stock.
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company
also granted to BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 shares of common stock. The initial
warrants were exercisable for a period of five years from April 6, 2001, at a
per share exercise price of $5.30. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated October
5, 2001, the Company agreed to issue additional warrants to acquire 60,000
shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.86 per share to each of BH
Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership. In exchange for the
warrants, BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership agreed
to provide us certain consulting services, including the introduction of
potential customers in Canada. Subsequently, the Company agreed to reduce the
per share exercise price on all the warrants to $2.67 in order to induce BH
Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership to exercise their
warrants and to gain their required approval for a private placement. On January
17, 2002, BH Capital Investments, L.P. and Excalibur Limited Partnership
exercised all 240,000 for a total of $640,800.
In accordance with Regulation D and pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement
dated as of September 24, 2001, Hare & Co. f/b/o John Hancock Small Cap Value
Fund, an affiliate of John Hancock Advisors, Inc., purchased 522,648 shares of
Common Stock and warrants to purchase 140,000 shares of Common Stock, at an
aggregate sales price of $3,000,000. The warrants held by Hare & Co. f/b/o John
Hancock Small Cap Value Fund were exercisable at a price per share equal to
$6.74 until September 25, 2006. Subsequently, the Company agreed to reduce the
per share exercise price on all the warrants to $4.50 in order to induce Hare &
Co. f/b/o John Hancock Small Cap Value Fund to exercise their warrants. All of
the warrants were exercised in January 2002 at a price of $4.50 per share for a
total of $630,000.
In accordance with Regulation D and pursuant to certain Securities Purchase
Agreements dated January 17, 2002 with FNY Millenium Partners, LP, Millenium
Global Offshore Ltd., Potomac Capital Partners, LP, and Potomac Capital
International Ltd., the Company sold 158,095 shares of Common Stock for $4.74
(95% of an average market price) and issued warrants to purchase 39,524 shares
of Common Stock at a price equal to $5.74 per share. Pursuant to the same
Securities Purchase Agreements dated January 17, 2002, the Company sold 12,270
shares of Common Stock for $4.74 (95% of an average market price) and issued
warrants to purchase 3,068 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $5.74 per
share to its officers Angelo S. Morini, Christopher New, LeAnn Hitchcock and
Kulbir Sabharwal. All of the warrants are exercisable until January 17, 2007.
The Company received total proceeds of $808,212 related to the sale of these
shares of Common Stock.
In accordance with Regulation D and pursuant to a certain Common Stock and
Warrants Purchase Agreement dated June 28, 2002, the Company sold 367,647 shares
of Common Stock for $4.08 (85% of an average market price) and issued warrants
to purchase 122,549 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $5.52 per share
to Stonestreet Limited Partnership. In connection with such sale, the Company
issued 7,812 shares of Common Stock to Stonestreet Corporation and 4,687 shares
of Common Stock to H&H Securities Limited in exchange for their services as
finders. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company received net proceeds of
$930,000, after the repayment of a $550,000 promissory note dated June 26, 2002
in favor of Excalibur Limited Partnership and payment of $20,000 for Stonestreet
Limited Partnership's costs and expenses related to the purchase of these shares
of Common Stock.
In accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
pursuant to a Food Service Brokerage Agreement dated June 25, 2002, the Company
issued 141,221 shares of Common Stock for $4.08 per share on September 9, 2002
to certain food brokers in consideration for prior services rendered valued at
$576,179.
In accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 27, 2002, the Company
issued 65,404 shares of Common Stock for $4.08 per share in settlement of an
outstanding payable to Hart Design and Manufacturing, Inc. in the amount of
$266,848.
Management believes that with the proceeds received in connection with its
credit facilities and equity financings together with cash flow from current
operations, the Company will have enough cash to meet its fiscal 2003 liquidity
needs based on current operation levels. However, substantial additional
financing is necessary to meet the demands of expected future higher sales
volumes and to refinance the FINOVA Capital and FINOVA Mezzanine loans that will
mature in July
19
2003. The Company is currently conducting negotiations and is in the final
approval phase with a potential new third party lender that would replace FINOVA
Capital as our primary asset-based lender. In the event that FINOVA is not
replaced before the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company believes that
it will remain in compliance with the new FINOVA loan covenants established in
the June 26, 2002 waiver and amendment documents.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The interest on the Company's debt to FINOVA Capital Corporation and SouthTrust
Bank N.A. is floating and based on the prevailing market interest rates. For
market-based debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the market
value of the debt but do impact future interest expense and hence earnings and
cash flows, assuming other factors remain unchanged. A theoretical 1% change in
market rates in effect on September 30, 2002 with respect to the Company's
anticipated debt as of such date would increase interest expense and hence
reduce net income of the Company by approximately $36,000 per quarter.
The Company's fiscal 2002 and 2001 sales denominated in a currency other than
U.S. dollars were less than 5% of total sales and no net assets were maintained
in a functional currency other than U. S. dollars at September 30, 2002 and
2001. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates has not
historically been significant to the Company's operations or net assets.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within ninety (90) days prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was
performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and the
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures to insure that the
Company records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely and effective
manner the information required to be disclosed in reports filed with or
submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on that evaluation,
the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely bringing
to their attention material information related to the Company required to be
included in the Company's periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Since the date of this evaluation, there have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
those controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
--------------------------
GALAXY NUTRITIONAL FOODS, INC.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 17, 2002, Schreiber Foods, Inc. of Green Bay Wisconsin filed a lawsuit
against the Company in the federal district court for the Eastern District of
Wisconsin ("Wisconsin lawsuit"), being Case No. 02-C-0498, alleging various acts
of patent infringement. The Complaint alleges that the Company's machines for
wrapping of individual cheese slices, manufactured by Kustner Industries, S.A.
of Switzerland, known as models KE and KD, and the Company's machines for
producing individually wrapped slices manufactured by Hart Design Mfg., Inc. of
Green Bay, Wisconsin, infringe unspecified claims of U.S. Patents Nos.
5,440,860, 5,701,724 and 6,085,680. Additionally, the Complaint refers to U.S.
Patent No. 5,112,632, but it does not explicitly allege infringement of that
patent. Because the case is in the earliest stages, there has not yet been an
opportunity to determine whether Schreiber Foods intends to pursue allegations
of infringement of the 5,112,632 Patent against the Company. Schreiber Foods is
seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the Company from
further infringing acts and is also seeking damages in the nature of either lost
profits or reasonable royalties. On or about July 10, 2002, the Company filed a
Motion to Dismiss the Wisconsin lawsuit on the grounds that Schreiber
Technologies, Inc., not Schreiber Foods, is the owner of the asserted patents.
Also on July 10, 2002, the Company filed a Declaratory Judgment action against
Schreiber Technologies, Inc. in the federal court for the Middle District of
Florida, being case No. 02-CV-784, seeking a declaration that the Company does
not infringe these patents and/or that the patents are invalid and
unenforceable. Schreiber Foods has opposed the Motion to Dismiss claiming that
it reacquired ownership of the patents. Schreiber Technologies has moved to
dismiss the Florida action claiming that it does not own the patents.
The '860 and '724 Patents--and the Kustner machines for producing individually
wrapped slices--were the subject of a lawsuit commenced by Schreiber in 1997
against Beatrice Foods and others in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, being
Case No. 97-CV-11. Schreiber alleges that the machines that were at issue in
that case are similar to the Kustner machines in use by the Company. In the 1997
lawsuit, the matter was tried to a jury, which found the Kustner machines to
infringe and awarded Schreiber $26 million in a verdict of August 25, 1998. On
March 30, 2000, however, the judge reversed that verdict, entered a finding of
no infringement on the part of Beatrice, and dismissed the case. Schreiber
appealed that order to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which
entered its judgment on appeal on February 27, 2002. The appeals court reversed
the action of the trial court, found that substantial evidence supported the
jury's finding of infringement, and ordered the jury verdict reinstated. Kustner
Industries has informed the Company that a petition for certiorari is currently
before the Supreme Court and that it is considering additional judicial options.
Schreiber has also commenced a similar action against Borden, Inc., and others,
in March 2002, but no result has yet been reached in that case.
Several years prior to the filing of the lawsuit against the Company, the
Company modified the seals on its Kustner machines to make them more
technologically safe and superior. The seals on the two Hart Design machines
were modified by the manufacturer from the standard Hart Design configuration at
Galaxy's request and were delivered to the Company as modified.
The Company believes that these modifications are such that the modified
machines do not literally infringe upon any of the identified patents, and the
Company will vigorously defend this position. However, a formal opinion from
patent counsel has not yet been obtained to that regard, given the recent filing
date of the lawsuit. Therefore, the Company is not in a position at this time to
express a view on the likelihood that it will succeed in its position, nor in
the amount of damages that might be awarded against it should it be unsuccessful
in that regard.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In accordance with Regulation D and pursuant to a certain Common Stock and
Warrants Purchase Agreement dated June 28, 2002, the Company sold 367,647 shares
of Common Stock for $4.08 (85% of an average market price) and issued warrants
to purchase 122,549 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $5.52 per share
to Stonestreet Limited Partnership. In connection with such sale, the Company
issued 7,812 shares of Common Stock to Stonestreet Corporation and 4,687 shares
of Common Stock to H&H Securities Limited in exchange for their services as
finders. Registration of all of these shares, including the shares underlying
the warrants, is to be completed within 120 days of issuance. Per the
21
terms of the agreement, the Company received net proceeds of $930,000, after the
repayment of a $550,000 promissory note dated June 26, 2002 in favor of
Excalibur Limited Partnership and payment of $20,000 for Stonestreet Limited
Partnership's costs and expenses related to the purchase of these shares of
Common Stock. The Company used the $930,000 in net proceeds to pay $13,000 for
its own legal fees related to the financing and the remainder for working
capital purposes.
In accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
pursuant to a Food Service Brokerage Agreement dated June 25, 2002, the Company
issued 141,221 shares of Common Stock for $4.08 per share on September 9, 2002
to certain food brokers in consideration for prior services rendered valued at
$576,179.
In accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 27, 2002, the Company
issued 65,404 shares of Common Stock for $4.08 per share in settlement of an
outstanding payable to Hart Design and Manufacturing, Inc. in the amount of
$266,848.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
In June 2002, the Company notified FINOVA Capital and FINOVA Mezzanine that it
had failed to comply with the minimum operational cash flow to contractual debt
service ratio and the funded debt to EBITDA ratio. FINOVA Capital agreed to
waive those violations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2002 and to amend such covenants for the fiscal quarters
beginning July 1, 2002, pursuant to a certain Amendment and Limited Waiver to
Security Agreement dated June 26, 2002. FINOVA Capital extended the maturity
date from October 15, 2002 to July 1, 2003, removed any prepayment penalties,
reduced the credit line from $13 million to $7.5 million, reduced the inventory
limit from $6 million to $3 million, and will reduce the inventory advance rate
by 1% per month beginning July 1, 2002 (from a level of 50% at June 30, 2002 to
37% by the maturity date). FINOVA Mezzanine also agreed to waive the violations
of its covenants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2002, and to amend those covenants for future fiscal quarters
pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 26, 2002 and amendments to the
subordinated notes. In consideration of the waivers and covenant amendments, the
Company agreed to pay a facility fee of $413,500, which was deemed fully earned
on June 26, 2002. The facility fee is payable as follows: $172,500 is due and
payable on the earliest of (a) July 1, 2003, (b) the occurrence of an event of
default, or (c) the date on which the Company repays either all of the
obligations to FINOVA Capital under the Loan Agreement or any portion of the
principal obligations to FINOVA Mezzanine under the FINOVA Mezzanine loan
documents, with the balance of $241,000 due and payable only upon FINOVA
Mezzanine's exercise of its remaining 100,000 warrants. The Company was in
compliance with all revised covenants for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.
