ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and notes thereto included herein.
Overview
Detour Magazine, Inc., f/k/a Ichi-Bon Investment Corporation
(the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Colorado on May 18, 1990. On June 6, 1997, pursuant to the terms
of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Company acquired
all of the issued and outstanding securities of Detour, Inc., a
California corporation, in exchange for 4,500,000 "restricted"
common shares of the Company. As a result, the Company was the
surviving entity. As part of the terms of the aforesaid
transaction, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation,
changing its name to its present name.
Detour Magazine, Inc. is engaged in publishing and
distribution, on an international basis, 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. It derives its revenues primarily from
advertising. The Company maintains offices in both Los Angeles and
New York.
Historically, the magazine has been published monthly, with
the exception of the issues for January/February and July/August,
1997, for which one issue was published. However, management
intends to issue 12 magazines on a monthly basis in the future.
The magazine has been, in general, approximately 112 to 120
pages in length, comprised of about 30 to 45 pages of advertising,
with the balance in editorial pages. This reflects the limited,
but growing, advertising base which typifies new publications.
While no assurances can be provided, management anticipates that
the Company will increase the number of advertising pages (as well
as increase the advertising revenue per page) in the near future.
The following information is intended to highlight
developments in the Company's operations to present the results of
operations of the Company, to identify key trends affecting the
Company's businesses and to identify other factors affecting the
Company's results of operations for the nine month period ended
July 31, 1997.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the three month period
ended July 31, 1997 and 1996.
During the three month period ended July 31, 1997, the
Company's revenues remained relatively constant, as it generated
revenues of $916,525, compared to revenues of $977,217 for the
similar period in 1996, a decrease of $60,692 (6.2%).
In the three month period ended July 31, 1997, costs of sales
were $573,477, compared to $705,738 for the similar period in 1996,
a decrease of $132,261 (18.7%). This was due to a decrease in the
Company's paper, printing and binding costs as well as decreased
costs for editorial expenses. Selling, general and administrative
expenses remained relatively constant, such expenses being $491,879
for the three months ended July 31, 1997, compared to $522,868 for
the similar period in 1996, a decrease of $30,989 (5.9%). For the
three month period ended July 31, 1997, the Company generated a net
loss of $(179,876) compared to a net loss of $(294,449) for the
three month period ended July 31, 1996, a decrease of $(114,573)
(38.9%), primarily due to the decrease in cost of sales and a
$12,013 decrease in interest expense during the period.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine month period
ended July 31, 1997 and 1996.
During the nine month period ended July 31, 1997, the
Company's revenues remained relatively constant, as it generated
revenues of $2,594,594, compared to revenues of $2,588,887 for the
similar period in 1996, an increase of $5,707 (.22%).
In the nine month period ended July 31, 1997, costs of sales
were $1,667,457, compared to $1,964,967 for the similar period in
1996, a decrease of $297,510 (15.1%). This was due primarily to a
decrease in the Company's paper costs. The Company did incur
approximately $50,000 in professional fees over and above fees
normally incurred during previous quarterly periods during the nine
month period ended July 31, 1997, as a result of settlement of an
outstanding litigation. General and administrative expenses were
$1,391,785 for the nine months ended July 31, 1997, compared to
$1,430,272 for the similar period in 1996, a decrease of $38,487
(2.7%). This decrease came about due to management's efforts to
implement cost cutting measures, including reducing labor costs.
As a result, the Company generated a net loss of $(464,648) for the
nine month period ended July 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of
$(806,352) for the nine month period ended July 31, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the nine month period ended July 31, 1997, the Company had
no available cash. It increased its accounts receivable to
$284,268 from $174,949 for the similar period in 1996, an increase
of $109,319 (62%). The Company also had two loans outstanding to
two of its officers in the aggregate principal amount of $68,080,
which loans are secured by second positions in each officer's
residential home. These loans accrue interest at the prime rate
and are due on demand.
Management has recognized the Company's need for operating
capital and, in response thereto, did issue options to an overseas
entity, allowing such entity to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.
These options expire on or about November 1997 and while no options
have been exercised to date, the option holder has advised
management that it intends to begin exercising a portion of its
options during the three month period ending October 31, 1997.
However, there can be no assurances that these options will be
exercised in the future.
The Company has two outstanding notes payable, each payable to
non-affiliates, including one note with an outstanding balance of
$176,700, which accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum and
is due on demand. The remaining outstanding notes aggregating
$1,067,862 are demand notes due to JCM Capital Corp., a non-
affiliate and accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum.
The Company's securities are currently not liquid. There is
currently no market for the Company's securities; however, the
Company has recently filed an application to list its securities on
the OTC Bulletin Board and is presently engaged in responding to
various comments and concerns expressed by the NASD relevant
thereto. While no assurances can be provided, management believes
that the Company's common stock will begin trading on the Bulletin
Board in the very near future.
Trends
Management believes that the Company will continue to operate
the Company's business at a loss for the next six months, but is
optimistic that the Company will begin generating profits from its
operations beginning in the second fiscal quarter of the fiscal
year ending October 31, 1998. This will occur as a result of
continued cost cutting measures adopted by management and
anticipation of increased circulation of the Company's magazine and
corresponding revenues therefrom. However, there can be no
assurances that the Company will become profitable within the time
parameters described herein, or at all.
Inflation
Although the operations of the Company are influenced by
general economic conditions, the Company does not believe that
inflation had a material affect on the results of operations during
the nine month period ended July 31, 1997.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nine Month Period Ended July 31, 1997
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.
However, the capital structure of Old Detour has been
retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares
received by Old Detour shareholders in the acquisition and
the Company's par value. Under purchase method accounting,
balances and results of operations of Old Detour will be
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
from the date of the transaction, June 6, 1997. The Company
recorded the assets and liabilities (excluding intangibles) at
2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
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 the form of stock.
Proforma results of operations (assuming the business
combination had been effectuated on January 1, 1997) are
not presented because Detour was inactive for the quarter
ended July 31, 1997. As a result, proforma results of
operations for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 would be no
different than the historical statement of operations
presented herewith.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Old Detour for the quarter ended July 31,
1997 and of Detour effective with the date of the merger,
June 6, 1997. Significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. For the nine
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 received by the
shareholders of Old Detour in connection with such reverse
acquisition (4,500,000 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.
