ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The unaudited financial statements for the six month period ended June 30,
2000, are attached hereto.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and
because we desire to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding
certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in
this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not
in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking
statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate
to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments.
Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions
that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many
of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.
These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking
statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update
forward looking statements.
OVERVIEW
We are engaged in publishing of a monthly magazine entitled Detour, which
includes advertisements and articles relating to fashion, contemporary music and
entertainment and social issues. Management describes the magazine as an "urban,
avant-garde" publication. We derive approximately 80% of our revenues from
advertising, with the balance from circulation. We maintain offices in both Los
Angeles and New York City.
The Magazine is normally been published monthly, with the exception of the
issues for December/January and June/July, for which one issue is published. The
Magazine has been, in general, approximately 150 pages in length, comprised of
about 50 to 60 pages of advertising, with the balance in editorial pages.
However, due to our impaired financial condition, two double issues,
December/January and February/March were published during the first quarter of
2001 and one double issue, April/May was published in the second quarter of
2001. As of the date of this Report, we plan on publishing future issues on a
monthly basis,
2
with the exception of double issues for December/January and June/July. However,
our plans are contingent upon our having sufficient working capital to fund such
publications.
The following information is intended to highlight developments in our
operations to present our results of operations, to identify key trends
affecting our business and to identify other factors affecting our results of
operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Month Periods Ended June
30, 2001 and 2000
During the six month period ended June 30, 2001, our revenues decreased
from the same period in 2000, as we generated revenues of $603,739, compared to
revenues of $2,039,823 for the similar period in 2000, a decrease of $1,436,084
(70%). This was attributable to only three double issues of our Magazine being
published during this period, compared to one double issue and five single
issues being published during the six month period ended June 30, 2000,
resulting in a decrease in advertising revenues. We published only three issues
during this period and advertising revenue per issue decreased because of our
lack of working capital.
In the six month period ended June 30, 2001, costs of sales also decreased
55%, to $573,806, compared to $1,268,421 for the similar period in 2000, a
decrease of $694,615, which was also due to the publication of only three issues
of our Magazine during the applicable period, compared to six issues in 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,065,955 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1,857,756 for the similar period in
2000, an increase of $203,199 (11%). This increase was due to our continuing to
incur significant fees and expenses in connection with our funding efforts and
new business plan activities.
Interest expense increased from $369,459 in the six months ended June 30,
2000, to $507,991 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of
$138,532 (37%) as a result of continued borrowing necessitated by cash shortages
resulting from operating losses. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below. As
a result, we generated a net loss of $(2,700,828) for the six month period ended
June 30, 2001, ($0.09 per share) compared to a net loss of $(1,403,504) for the
six month period ended June 30, 2000 ($.07 per share).
3
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2001, we had $6,136 in
cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable decreased to $184,509 from
$639,971 at June 30, 2000, a decrease of $455,462 (71%), which management
attributes to the fact that we published only three magazine issues during the
applicable period. There was less advertising billed per issue, there were more
uncollectible accounts, and we commenced a new factoring arrangement with
Receivable Financing Corp. during 2001.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2001, we received $300,000 from
Union Atlantic as a subsequent contribution to the 10% Convertible Debentures
previously issued in June 2000. These Debentures are for a 5 year term and also
contain warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at exercise
prices of $.515 per warrant for 37,500 of the warrants and $.5859 per warrant
for the remaining 37,500 warrants. The Debentures may be converted at any time
during a three year term at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $.90 per
share, or 80% of the average three lowest closing bid prices of our common stock
during the 22 day trading period prior to conversion. With respect to the $1
million convertible debentures previously issued in June 2000, $50,000 of
principal and $5,202 in accrued interest was converted in June 2001, with the
resulting issuance of 490,703 shares of our common stock.
We have numerous outstanding notes payable, including the following:
In August 1998, we obtained a loan in the principal amount of $550,000 from
IBF Special Purpose Corporation II, to be used for general working capital. This
loan currently bears interest at the default rate of 28% per annum and was due
December 19, 1998, including a one-time extension fee paid to this lender of
$5,500. The loan provides for an exit fee equal to 3% of the original principal
amount of the loan ($16,500) and is secured by 1,000,000 shares of our common
stock, which were provided by 7 shareholders, including Mr. Stein, who tendered
190,000 shares as part of the security. Mr. Stein has also personally guaranteed
this obligation. In December 1998, we repaid $27,500 of the principal balance.
We also paid all interest which had accrued through June 30, 2000. In April
2001, we tendered a payment of $170,000 on this obligation and entered into a
Forbearance Agreement which provides, among other things, for us to pay this
lender $25,000 per month until the entire balance is paid in full. Upon payment
in full, the lender will return all of the stock provided as security. Interest
continues to accrue at the default rate.
In December 1999, we obtained a $200,000 loan from Sigmapath Corporation,
which accrues interest at the rate of 6% per annum and became due on March 8,
2000. We paid $100,000 on this obligation.
4
In March 2001, an action was filed against us by an officer of Sigmapath to
collect the balance of $100,000 remaining due. However, this action was
dismissed by the court because the plaintiff who brought the action was not the
proper party in interest. Since its dismissal, we have not heard anything from
this lender, nor otherwise been advised of any further action being brought.
In February 2001, we received a loan from an individual in the principal
amount of $80,000, which we repaid in full in March 2001. We issued 75,000
shares of our "restricted" common stock as full consideration for this loan.
At June 30, 2001, we had nine other notes payable in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,049,790, bearing interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12%
per annum, all of which require a monthly or quarterly payment of principal
and/or interest. These notes are due on demand or past due.
In 1995, our majority stockholder loaned us $932,313. In 1996, this note
was converted to a demand note, bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum.
In 1996, this stockholder subsequently assigned this Note to JCM Capital Corp.,
a minority stockholder, who, upon information and belief, has assigned portions
of this note to other unaffiliated parties. This note is secured by
substantially all of our assets, except for accounts receivable. Accrued
interest payable to this stockholder at June 30, 2001 totaled $553,407. Interest
expense for this note was $56,000 during the six month period ended June 30,
2001.
Advances from stockholder represent advances made by our majority
stockholder for working capital purposes. At September 30, 2000, the advances
bore interest at 8% per annum and were payable on demand. In March 2000, our
majority stockholder agreed to reduce the annual interest rate to 8% from 12%,
effective January 1, 2000 and modify the repayment terms. Under the new
repayment terms, the advances are repayable in monthly principal installments of
$42,000 commencing January 1, 2001. However, we must use at least 25% of the net
proceeds of any financing received by us to repay the advances. Further, all of
the advances are due and payable in full at such time as we have received equity
financing of at least $10 million. At June 30, 2001, $2,616,981 of principal was
outstanding and classified as short-term. Accrued interest payable to the
majority stockholder at June 30, 2001 totaled $956,334. Interest expense on the
advances was $157,707 for the six month period ended June 30, 2001.
TRENDS
In order to implement our new business strategy described in our Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, we need to raise a minimum
of $2 million of additional capital, over
5
and above what we have recently raised. The capital which we received recently
was utilized to pay outstanding obligations which had accrued and we were unable
to utilize these funds for implementation of our new business plan. Without the
additional capital, it will be necessary to abandon our plans for Detour Music
and Detour Europe. In addition, we will be required to continue to substantially
reduce costs for the magazine and not able to sustain our existing advertising
revenue or grow the circulation base. In the event all current discussions
terminate without additional capital, we will have to enter a joint publishing
arrangement with other magazine publishers or liquidate.
With an additional $2 million of capital, we will begin to implement our
business strategy and, while no assurances can be provided, we should be
profitable within 18 months after receipt of applicable funding.
INFLATION
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we
do not believe that inflation had a material affect on our results of operations
during the six month period ended June 30, 2001.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
By notice dated March 30, 2000, the staff of the Salt Lake City District
Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "the Commission")
notified us and our Chairman that it was recommending to the SEC that an
enforcement action be filed against both us and our Chairman relating to
accuracy of certain of our financial statements in 1997 and 1998. The
recommended enforcement action was based on: (i) the improper presentation of
certain quarterly financial information; and (ii) the failure to record in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles the proper compensation
expense resulting from the issuance to consultants in 1997 of options to
purchase 4,400,000 shares of common stock. According to the notice from the
Commission, the SEC anticipates alleging that we had violated Section 17(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, Rule 10b-5, Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and various rules
promulgated thereunder.
We believed that the issue regarding improper presentation of quarterly
financial information relates to our averaging of certain costs and expenses in
certain quarterly periods in 1997 and 1998 instead of calculating these costs
and expenses precisely. To comply with the staff's requirement, we would be
required to determine the actual costs and expenses for the affected quarters.
The second issue related to whether we recorded the proper amount
6
of compensation expense in connection with the issuance of the options to the
consultants. We recorded an expense of $21,991, based on the exercise price of
the options of $.005 per share. We understand that the staff believes that the
expense should be the fair market value of the options at the time the options
were issued. Under generally accepted accounting principles, any such additional
compensation expense in connection with the options would result in a
corresponding increase in our paid-in capital. Thus, while the expense would
increase our net loss for 1997, the paid-in capital would be similarly increased
and there would be no change to our total deficit in stockholders' equity as of
the end of 1997.
In 2000, we advised the staff that we wished to cooperate fully and reach
an agreement on an appropriate remedy to resolve this matter. We had determined
to restate our financial statements to address the concerns raised by the staff.
On November 22, 2000, the matter was resolved by the Commission issuing a
cease-and-desist proceeding pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933
and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Commission ordered
us to amend our filings with the Commission to properly reflect our financial
condition and operating results, and as required by Section 13(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act, make and keep books, record and accounts which, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets. The Commission further ordered us to devise and maintain a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that,
among other things, transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. We have advised the Commission of our intention to amend
our filing with the Commission. No civil penalties were assessed against us
relevant to the settlement of this matter.
We have been named as a defendant in several other lawsuits in the normal
course of our business. With the exception of one prospective matter, in the
opinion of management after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if
any, resulting from these matters will not have a material effect on our
financial statements.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
In April 2001, 1,333,333 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to
the exercise of outstanding warrants previously issued in favor of Trilogy
Capital and Lexington Capital, which warrants were issued in connection with a
prior financing to our company in 2000. The exercise price of these warrants
were $.01 per share.
7
In June 2001, 1,780,000 shares of our common stock were issued to four
separate consultants for services rendered and to be rendered to us. These
shares were valued at the market price at the date of issuance, which ranged
from $0.16 per share to $0.23 per share.
Also in June 2001, 490,703 shares of our common stock were issued as a
result of the conversion of $50,000 in principal and $5,202 in accrued interest
applicable to outstanding convertible debentures which we issued in June 2000.
We also issued 1 million common stock purchase warrants to one consultant for
services rendered and to be rendered. These warrants are exercisable at $0.25
per warrant at any time during the seven year period following the date of
issuance.
In February, 2001, 78,750 shares of our common stock were issued pursuant
to the exercise of outstanding warrants previously issued. The exercise price of
these warrants were $.01 per share.
In each instance cited above, we relied upon the exemption from
registration provided by Regulation D and/or Section 4(2), promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to issue the relevant shares.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2001
1. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results
for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other
quarter or for the full year.
2. Basis of Presentation
Business combination
On June 6, 1997, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization, Ichi-Bon Investment Corporation ("IBI") acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Detour, Inc. ("Old Detour") in exchange for
4,500,000 unregistered shares of IBI's common stock. As a result of the
transaction, the former shareholders of Old Detour received shares
representing an aggregate of 90% of IBI's outstanding common stock,
resulting in a change in control of IBI. As a result of the merger, IBI was
the surviving entity and Old Detour ceased to exist. Simultaneously
therewith, IBI amended its articles of incorporation to reflect a change in
IBI's name to "Detour Magazine, Inc." References to the "Company" or
"Detour" refer to Detour Magazine, Inc. together with the predecessor
company, Old Detour.
The acquisition of Old Detour has been accounted for as a reverse
acquisition. Under the accounting rules for a reverse acquisition, Old
Detour is considered the acquiring entity. As a result, historical
financial information for periods prior to the date of the transaction are
those of Old Detour. Under purchase method accounting, balances and results
of operations of Old Detour will be included in the accompanying financial
statements from the date of the transaction, June 6, 1998. The Company
recorded the assets and liabilities (excluding intangibles) at their
historical cost basis which was deemed to be approximate fair market value.
The reverse acquisition is treated as a non-cash transaction except to the
extent of cash acquired, since all consideration given was in
12
the form of stock.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. For the three month period prior to the
reverse acquisition discussed in the business combination section of Note 2
above, the number of common shares outstanding used in computing earnings
per share is the number of common shares outstanding as a result of such
reverse acquisition (5,000,000 shares).
3. History and Business Activity
Detour was originally incorporated as Ichi-Bon Investment Corporation on
May 18, 1990, under the laws of the State of Colorado. The name was changed
to Detour Magazine, Inc. concurrent with the business combination described
in Note 2.
Prior to such business combination, Detour had not engaged in any
operations or generated any revenue.
Old Detour was a publisher of a nationally distributed magazine entitled
"Detour" which is published monthly and contains articles and pictorial
displays on fashion, music and social commentary.
In March, 2001, our shareholders approved amendments to our Articles of
Incorporation, which amendments included changing our name to "Detour Media
Group, Inc." and increasing the number of authorized common shares to
100,000,000 shares.
