INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Innovative Software Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Innovative"),
operating in one business segment, is a software company specializing in
small business and financial eLearning tools and consulting services. The
Company's main products are EMS, a turnkey web builder, e-commerce solution
and data management system targeted to small businesses; The Financial
Toolkit 1.0, an integrated financial services and education program; Skills
in Demand, consisting of eLearning courses that cater to small business
owners and entreprenuers, and eTaxNet, a provider of online tax and
consulting services. In addition, the Company offers, for most of its
software and learning products, technical support and coaching services.
The Company's management combines its expertise in the field of direct
marketing, software, coaching and sales management to small businesses and
consumers. The combination of marketing and technological support offers
clients complete end-to-end business services solutions designed to fit
their ebusiness transactional technology training needs.
On April 16, 2001, Innovative, with immaterial net assets, acquired 100% of
the outstanding common stock of Hackett Media, Inc. (Hackett). The
acquisition resulted in the owners and management of Hackett having
effective operating control of the combined entity after the acquisition,
with the existing Innovative investors continuing as only passive investors.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US
GAAP), the above noted acquisition is considered to be a capital transaction
in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition
is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Hackett for the net monetary
assets of Innovative, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted
for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the
acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition,
except that no goodwill intangible is recorded. Under reverse takeover
accounting, the post reverse-acquisition comparative historical financial
statements of the "legal acquirer" (Innovative Software Technologies), are
those of the "legal acquiree" (Hackett) (i.e. the accounting acquirer).
On December 31, 2001, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of
Energy Professional Marketing Group, Inc. (EPMG), a technology marketing
company specializing in product fulfillment for outside vendors and
technology and database marketing, based in Provo, Utah. In connection with
the acquisition, the Company issued 1,500,000 and 3,529,412 of Series A
preferred and common shares, respectively.

NOTE A - COMPANY DESCRIPTION - Continued
The purchase price for the acquisition of EPMG has been allocated on the
fair value basis on the acquisition date as follows:
Assets acquired:
Goodwill........................ $ 13,549,932
Net assets acquired............. 25,068
-------------
Total Assets Acquired........... $ 13,575,000
=============
Total Purchase Price............ $ 13,575,000
=============
The acquisition described above was accounted for as a purchase transaction
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141
(SFAS 141), "Business Combinations," and, accordingly, the results of
operations and assets and liabilities of the acquired company are included
in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. A
portion of the goodwill has been written down by the Company as of December
31, 2002. See Note B to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited).
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
1. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 141, Business
Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141
is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30,
2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to
goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and
the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements
and their effective dates for the Company are as follows:
9
INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
o All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the
purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interests method of accounting
is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001.
o Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded
separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal
rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold,
transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part
of a related contract, asset or liability.
o Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after
June 30, 2001, will not be amortized.
o Effective January 1, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization.
o Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an
impairment indicator.
o All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of
impairment testing and segment reporting.
As of January 1, 2002, which is the beginning of fiscal 2002, the Company
will not amortize the goodwill which it recognized in connection with the
acquisition of EPMG. The Company's goodwill was subject to a transitional
impairment test as of December 31, 2001 and an annual impairment test,
using a two-step process prescribed by SFAS No. 142. The Company completed
the transitional impairment test for EPMG at June 30, 2002, the applicable
reporting unit, and no impairment of goodwill was found to exist as of the
beginning of fiscal 2002.
During 2002, the trading price of the Company's stock declined
significantly, raising questions about whether the fair value of goodwill
exceeds its carrying amount. An evaluation of the carrying amount of
goodwill was conducted during the 4th quarter 2002, which included an
evaluation of whether the decline in the trading price of the Company's
stock is other than temporary. The Company determined that the decline in
its trading price was other than temporary and subsequent to December 31,
2002, engaged an independent valuation firm to perform a valuation of the
Company. This resulted in a write-down in goodwill by the Company of
$12,461,246 as of December 31, 2002.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". SFAS 143 applies to all entities, including rate-regulated
entities, that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of a
tangible long-lived asset that result from acquisition, construction or
development and (or) normal operations of the long-lived asset. A liability
for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized if the obligation
meets the definition of a liability and can be reasonably estimated. The
initial recording should be at fair value. SFAS 143 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002,
with earlier application encouraged. The provisions of the Statement are
not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS 144 retains the existing requirements
to recognize and measure the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and
used or to be disposed of by sale. However, SFAS 144 makes changes to the
scope and certain measurement requirements of existing accounting guidance.
SFAS 144 also changes the requirements relating to reporting the effects of
a disposal or discontinuation of a segment of a business. SFAS 144 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
10
INNOVATIVE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 (SFAS 145). Any gain or
loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary
item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria in APB
30 for classification as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified.
SFAS 145 also amends SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases as well as other
existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical
corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under
changed conditions. Certain provisions of SFAS 145 are effective for
transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 while other are effective
for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company does not
expect SFAS 145 to have a material effect on its financial condition
or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). This standard
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for
costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when
the liability is incurred. The provisions of SFAS 146 are effective
for exit or disposal activities that are initiated by the Company
after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect SFAS 146 to have
a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of
Certain Financial Institutions" (SFAS 147). This standard relates to
the application of the purchase method of accounting to all
acquisitions of financial institutions, except transactions between
two or more mutual enterprises. This standard also relates to the
application of SFAS 144 to certain long-term customer-relationship
intangible assets recognized in an acquisition of a financial
institution, including those acquired in transactions between mutual
enterprises. SFAS 147 is effective on October 1, 2002. The Company
does not expect SFAS 147 to have a material effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148). This
standard amends the disclosure and certain transition provisions of
SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Its disclosure
provisions are effective for 2002 annual financial statements for
calendar year-end companies. The Company does not expect that adoption
of SFAS 148 will have a material impact on its financial condition or
results of operations.
2. Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been made to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Form 10-KSB dated December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet
as of December 31, 2002 has been derived from the Company's audited
consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

3. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements includes the
accounts of Innovative Software Technologies, Inc. and the accounts of
its wholly-owned subsidiary Energy Professional Marketing Group, Inc.
(EPMG) as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2003. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation. 4. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue after delivery of the product. To the
extent the Company sells software, revenue is recognized in accordance
with Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as
amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9 and clarified by Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. In
most cases this occurs the same day payment is received from our
customers. The Company also reserves for sales returns and allowances
based upon historical experience.
The Company provides support services for some of its products.
Payments received by the Company for these services are generally
recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the term of the
services.
The Company also provides extended payment terms on the sale of its
software and related coaching for up to two years. Since payments
terms on these sales exceed 12 months, the fee for the software and
license is presumed not to be determinable. In addition, the
probability of collection decreases as the payment terms are extended.
As a result, the Company recognizes revenue on these sales as the
payments are collected from the customer.
5. Investment Securities
All investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. These
investment securities have been adjusted to their fair market value
based upon quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses
are reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity. The
Company will regularly perform reviews of the fair value of its
investment securities and assess whether there exists any other than
temporary impairment.
6. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line and
double-declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements
are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the
estimated useful lives or remaining lease term.

7. Use of Estimates
To comply with US GAAP, the Company makes estimates and assumptions
that effect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
disclosures made in the accompanying notes. Estimates are used for,
but not limited to reserves for product returns, the collectibility of
accounts receivable and deferred taxes. The Company also uses
estimates to determine the remaining economic lives and carrying value
of goodwill and fixed assets. Despite our intention to establish
accurate estimates and assumptions, actual results may differ from our
estimates.
8. Software Development Costs
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86,
"Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or
otherwise Marketed," software development costs are expensed as
incurred until the product is available for general release to
customers. To date, the Company's software has been available for
general release concurrent with the establishment of technological
feasibility and, accordingly, no development costs have been
capitalized.
The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of computer
software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Costs incurred in the
application development phase are capitalized and amortized over their
useful life, not to exceed five years.
9. Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.
10. Impairment and Long-lived Assets
The Company will regularly perform reviews to determine if the
carrying values of our long-lived assets are impaired. The reviews
take into account facts or circumstances, either internal or external,
which indicate that the carrying value of the asset cannot be
recovered.
11. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has increasingly relied on ESI to provide the Company with
sales leads. As a percentage of the overall sales leads provided to
the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2003, 57% of the leads
were provided by ESI. This is compared to 35% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003.

The Knowledge Transfer Systems, Inc. common stock was received in consideration
for the sale of four software coaching platforms to Ensurge, Inc. These
investment securities were recorded at a 30% discount due to restrictions and
limitations contained in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
primary restriction relates to the one-year holding period of the investment
securities after the effective date of sale. As of December 31, 2002, the
one-year holding period on these investment securities expired and the
investment securities were recorded at 100% of their fair market value. Due to
the decline in market value of Knowledge Transfer Systems, Inc. common stock,
the Company considered the value of these securities permanently impaired and
wrote down the entire carrying value of these investment securities as of
December 31, 2002. The reduction in carrying value on these investment
securities resulted in a loss on investment of $728,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2002.
The Company received Ensurge, Inc. common stock in consideration for the sale of
certain vintage furniture in 2000. Due to the decline in market value of
Ensurge, Inc. common stock, the Company considered the carrying value of $26,250
permanently impaired which resulted in a loss on investment securities of
$26,250 during the year-ended December 31, 2002.

by its wholly-owned subsidiary, KT Solutions, Inc., the Company considered the
value of these securities permanently impaired and wrote down the entire
carrying value of these investment securities as of December 31, 2002. The
reduction in carrying value on these investment securities resulted in a loss on
investment of $875,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002. The President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the former President and Chief
Executive Officer of Ensurge, Inc., which was the parent company of KT

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The Company is a software company specializing in small business and
financial eLearning tools and consulting services. The Company's main products
are EMS, a turnkey web builder, e-commerce solution and data management system
targeted to small businesses; The Financial Toolkit 1.0, an integrated financial
services and education program; Skills in Demand, consisting of eLearning
courses that cater to small business owners and entreprenuers, and eTaxNet, a
provider of online tax and consulting services. In addition, the Company offers,
for most of its software and learning products, technical support and coaching
services.
When used in this discussion, the words "expect(s)", "feel(s)",
"believe(s)", "will", "may", "anticipate(s)" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from
those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, and are urged to carefully review and consider the
various disclosures elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, including those set forth
under "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's condensed consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
Company's financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of
significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. The Company
believes that its critical accounting policies include those described below.
For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting
policies, see Note B in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As discussed in Note A in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the Company, on December 31, 2001, purchased all of the outstanding
shares of Energy Professional Marketing Group Inc. (EPMG) for $13.5 million in
Innovative's common and Series A preferred stock.
Purchase accounting requires extensive use of accounting estimates and
judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets
purchased and liabilities assumed. The Company has accounted for its
acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. Values were assigned
principally to goodwill based upon management's allocation of the purchase price
to EPMG's workforce in place at the date of the transaction.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). This statement affects the
Company's treatment of goodwill and other intangible assets. The statement
requires that goodwill existing at the date of adoption be reviewed
20
for possible impairment and that impairment tests be periodically repeated, with
impaired assets written down to fair value. Additionally, existing goodwill and
intangible assets must be assessed and classified within the statement's
criteria. Intangible assets with finite useful lives will continue to be
amortized over those periods. Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets
with indeterminable lives will cease.
During 2002, the trading price of the Company's stock declined
significantly, raising questions about whether the fair value of goodwill
exceeds its carrying amount. An evaluation of the carrying amount of goodwill
was conducted during the 4th quarter 2002, which included an evaluation of
whether the decline in the trading price of the Company's stock is other than
temporary. The Company determined that the decline in its trading price was
other than temporary and subsequent to December 31, 2002, engaged an independent
valuation firm to perform a valuation of the Company. This resulted in a
write-down in goodwill by the Company of $12,461,246 as of December 31, 2002.
Goodwill amounts to $1,088,868 as of June 30, 2003.
Investment securities
Investment securities are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair
value below cost basis is determined to be other than temporary. The Company
employs a methodology in evaluating whether a decline in fair value below cost
basis is other than temporary that considers available evidence regarding its
investment securities. In the event that the cost basis of a security exceeds
its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors: the duration of the
period that, and extent to which, the fair value is less than cost basis; the
financial health of and business outlook for the investee, including industry
and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash
flow factors; overall market conditions and trends, and the Company's intent and
ability to hold the investment. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be
other than temporary, a write-down is recorded and a new cost basis in the
security is established. Assessing the above factors involves inherent
uncertainty. Accordingly, write-downs, if recorded, could be materially
different from the actual market performance of investment securities in the
Company's portfolio, if, among other things, relevant information related to the
Company's investment securities was not publicly available or other factors not
considered by the Company would have been relevant to the determination of
impairment. As discussed in Note C to the accompanying financial statements, the
Company wrote-down the value of investment securities by $1,629,250 in 2002. The
new cost basis in the investment securities written-down, as of December 31,
2002, is $0.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue after delivery of the product. To the extent
the Company sells software, revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement
of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP
98-9 and clarified by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101 Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements. In most cases this occurs the same day payment is received
from our customers. The Company also reserves for sales returns and allowances
based upon historical experience.
The Company provides support services for some of its products. Payments
received by the Company for these services are generally recorded as deferred
revenue and recognized over the term of the services. The Company estimates the
amount earned for services based upon the period of time that has elapsed since
the invoice date. For example, if an agreement provides for a ten-week course of
coaching services, the Company estimates that one-half of the revenues for
coaching services are earned after five weeks. If the ten-week course begins
five weeks before the end of a fiscal quarter, the Company will recognize
one-half of the coaching revenues as revenues received in the fiscal quarter and
will record one-half as
21
deferred revenue. The Company makes two assumptions in recognizing coaching
revenues: (1) that coaching services begin immediately after the invoice date
and (2) that customers do not make-up missed coaching sessions, unless customers
specifically request that their coaching sessions be placed on hold. The Company
believes that these assumptions are reasonable based upon the Company's
experience.
The Company also provides extended payment terms on the sale of its
software and related coaching for up to two years. Since payments terms on these
sales exceed 12 months, the fee for the software and license is presumed not to
be determinable. In addition, the probability of collection decreases as the
payment terms are extended. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue on these
sales as the payments are collected from the customer.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 compared to Three
Months Ended June 30, 2002
Sales
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $6,997,995 and
$2,994,339, respectively, which represents a 134% increase from the prior
period. The Company's principal source of revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 consisted of software product and service sales. The primary
reason for the increase in sales can be attributed to the consolidation of all
of its administrative and accounting functions to the Provo, UT office in an
effort to improve the Company's fulfillment and shipping operations and improve
corporate responsiveness. This consolidation was completed in September 2002.
This has enabled the Utah office to greatly improve its ability to service its
customers. The Company has experienced substantial increases in sales per sales
associate as a result of the consolidation. In conjunction with this
consolidation, the Company has hired additional sales and marketing associates
which has also positively impacted sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Also, in first quarter 2003, the Company initiated the utilization of its
training center in Orem, UT to assist its customers in maintaining and expanding
their Internet presence. Among the Company's products and services, sales of the
Company's personal finance products and services have been increasing at a
faster rate than its other products and services.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was
$3,515,533 and $999,229, respectively, representing an increase of 252%. Cost of
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 represented costs
associated with the generation of sales leads and the providing of coaching
services to customers that purchase the Company's products. The main reason for
the increase in cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003, as
compared to a year ago for the same period, can be attributed to cost of sales
increasing in conjunction with the increase in sales for the period. In
addition, cost of sales increased 17% as a percentage of sales when comparing
the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. This increase is mainly
attributable to the rise in the cost of generating sales leads and the providing
of coaching services for the same period a year ago. See "Related Party
Transactions - Relationship with ESI" below.
22
Gross Margin
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 49.8% for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 and 66.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The
decrease was caused by the rise in costs of generating sales leads and the
providing of coaching services. See "Cost of Sales" above.
Selling
Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were
$1,533,699 and $681,308, respectively, representing an increase of 125%. These
costs consisted primarily of commissions paid to sales associates as well as
marketing and advertising expenses associated with key products and services.
The main reason for the increase in selling costs can be attributed to the
increase in sales of products and services from new and existing sales
associates. Selling costs have increased in proportion as a percentage of sales
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The Company pays 40% of net
earnings before taxes into a profit sharing pool that is divided equally among
three executive officers of the Company.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 were $1,731,588 and $916,707, respectively, representing an
increase of 89%. The Company's general and administration expenses consisted
primarily of salaries and wages, professional fees, rent, travel expenses,
payroll taxes, telephone expenses and other general and administrative expenses
necessary to support the operations of the Company in the current period. The
primary reason for the increase in general and administrative expenses was
attributable to higher administrative wage costs for the three months ended June
30, 2003.
Non-recurring Expenses
Non-recurring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was
$0 and $169,578, respectively. Non-recurring expense in 2002 represented back
wages due to EPMG's employees. This cost resulted from a completed examination
of the Company's labor practices by the United States Department of Labor. The
period of examination covered the Company's operations from May 2000 to May
2002.
Income Taxes
The Company accrued for income taxes of $0 and $85,326 for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company's effective income tax
rates were 0% and 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the
three months ended June 30, 2003, based on the Company's future tax loss
attributable to the goodwill amortization from the write off of goodwill in
2002. See "Critical Accounting Policies - Goodwill and Intangible Assets" above.
23
Net Income
The Company had net income of $252,711 for the three months ended June 30,
2003 compared to net income of $152,026 for the three months ended June 30,
2002. The increase in net income was due to the Company not recording a
provision for income taxes in the current quarter. See "Income Taxes" above. Net
income before income taxes increased $15,359 or 6.5% when comparing the three
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 . In addition, net income before income
taxes decreased 4.3% as a percentage of sales when comparing the three months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. This decrease is mainly attributable to the rise
in the cost of generating sales leads and the providing of coaching services for
the same period a year ago. See "Cost of Sales" above.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 compared to Six
Months Ended June 30, 2002
Sales
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $12,491,203 and
$5,789,035, respectively, which represents a 116% increase from the prior
period. The Company's principal source of revenue for the six months ended June
30, 2003 consisted of software product and service sales. The primary reason for
the increase in sales can be attributed to the consolidation of all of its
administrative and accounting functions to the Provo, UT office in an effort to
improve its fulfillment and shipping operations and improve corporate
responsiveness. This consolidation was completed in September 2002. This has
enabled the Utah office to greatly improve the Company's ability to service its
customers. The Company has experienced substantial increases in sales per sales
associate as a result of the consolidation. In conjunction with this
consolidation, the Company has hired additional sales and marketing associates
which has also positively impacted sales for the first six months of 2003. Also,
in first quarter 2003, the Company initiated the utilization of its training
center in Orem, UT to assist its customers in maintaining and expanding their
Internet presence. Among the Company's products and services, sales of the
Company's personal finance products and services have been increasing at a
faster rate than its other products and services.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was
$6,062,425 and $2,121,684, respectively, representing an increase of 186%. Cost
of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 represented costs
associated with the generation of sales leads and the providing of coaching
services to customers that purchase the Company's products. The main reason for
the increase in cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003, as
compared to a year ago for the same period, can be attributed to cost of sales
increasing in conjunction with the increase in sales for the period. In
addition, cost of sales increased 12% as a percentage of sales when comparing
the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. This increase is mainly
attributable to the rise in the cost of generating sales leads and the providing
of coaching services for the same period a year ago. See "Related Party
Transactions - Relationship with ESI" below.
24
Gross Margin
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 51.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and 63.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease was
caused by the rise in the cost of generating sales leads and the providing of
coaching services for the same period a year ago. .
Selling
Selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were
$2,758,817 and $1,282,199, respectively, representing an increase of 115%. These
costs consisted primarily of commissions paid to sales associates as well as
marketing and advertising expenses associated with key products and services.
The main reason for the increase in selling costs can be attributed to the
increase in sales of products and services from new and existing sales
associates. Selling costs have increased in proportion as a percentage of sales
for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002 were $3,414,388 and $1,658,777, respectively, representing an increase
of 106%. The Company's general and administration expenses consisted primarily
of salaries and wages, professional fees, rent, travel expenses, payroll taxes,
telephone expenses and other general and administrative expenses necessary to
support the operations of the Company in the current period. The primary reason
for the increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable to
higher administrative wages for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Non-recurring Expenses
Non-recurring expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was
$0 and $169,578, respectively. Non-recurring expense in 2002 represented back
wages due to EPMG's employees. This cost resulted from a completed examination
of the Company's labor practices by the United States Department of Labor. The
period of examination covered the Company's operations from May 2000 to May
2002.
Income Taxes
The Company accrued income taxes of $0 and $220,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company effective income tax
rates were 0% and 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the
three months ended June 30, 2003, based on the Company's future tax loss
attributable to the goodwill amortization from the write off of goodwill in
2002. See "Critical Accounting Policies - Goodwill and Intangible Assets" above.
Net Income
We had net income of $352,608 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to net income of $348,334 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The
increase in net income was due to the Company not recording a provision for
income taxes in the current quarter. See "Income Taxes" above. Net income before
income
taxes decreased $215,726 or 38% when comparing the six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002. In addition, net income before income taxes decreased 7.0% as a
percentage of sales when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.
This decrease is mainly attributable to the rise in the cost of generating sales
leads and the providing of coaching services for the same period a year ago. See
"Cost of Sales" above.
Related Party Transactions
Relationship with ESI. In September 2002, Energy Professional Marketing
Group, Inc. (EPMG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an
Opportunity and Strategic Alliance Agreement with Education Success Institute
(ESI). Under the agreement, EPMG purchases sales leads from ESI. ESI is owned
and operated by Ethan A. Willis and James R. Garn, each of whom serves as a vice
president and director of the Company. Under the agreement, with respect to cash
sales made by EPMG to sales leads generated by ESI, gross sales after a reserve
of 4% are divided 66% to EPMG and 34% to ESI. The Company believes that the
agreement is the product of arm's length negotiation between the parties. The
Company was generating a significant portion of their sales leads internally;
however, this was generally unprofitable for the Company and the decision was
made to outsource the generation of sales leads to ESI. The Company paid ESI a
total of $1,391,973 for sales lead generation for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and $1,850,789 for sales lead generation for the six months ended June
30, 2003. In addition, the Company reserved for potential returned sales from
ESI in the amount of $177,441 as of June 30, 2003. Also, revenue received by the
Company for ESI's use of merchant accounts, office supplies and rent totaled
$6,880 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $32,678 for the six months
ended June 30, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2003, cash was $2,561,901, an increase of $1,223,556 from
December 31, 2002. Cash provided by operations was $1,475,974 for the six months
ended June 30, 2003. The primary reason for the positive operating cash for the
six months ended June 30, 2003, can be attributed to the Company's higher sales
volume during the first six months of 2003. In addition, the Company's primary
merchant service company ceased holding a percentage of each sales transaction
as a reserve against future cancellations, which has positively impacted cash in
the current quarter. The Company also experienced non-cash prepaid expenses and
non-cash expenditures of $97,667 during the six months ended June 30, 2003,
which also positively effected cash. The Company paid down its note payable and
line of credit balances by $90,530 during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The Company anticipates paying down additional notes payable amounts during
2003. Stockholders' equity amounts to $2,560,275 as of June 30, 2003.
The Company issued 80,000 shares of its Series B preferred stock to certain
directors of the Company as prepaid executive compensation and executive
compensation at a stated value of $1.00 per share in the first quarter 2003. The
Company recorded non-cash executive compensation of $40,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, related to these Series B preferred shares. The remaining
$40,000 will be incurred during the following two quarters of 2003.
The Company issued 233,333 shares of its common stock during the first
quarter 2003 for prepaid public relation services to be provided in future
periods.
The Company issued 133,333 shares of its common stock as a charitable
contribution during the first quarter 2003.
26
The Company issued 39,702 shares of its common stock for professional
services provided during the first quarter 2003.
The Company issued 49,231 shares of its common stock for professional
services provided during the second quarter 2003.
The Company expects that its existing cash resources and cash flow
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements
and ordinary capital expenditure needs during the next twelve months.
Trends
The following is a description of certain trends, events and uncertainties
that may affect the Company's future financial results. Due to the potential for
change in factors associated with our business, it is impossible to predict or
quantify future changes in the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition. See "-Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements."
SEC Investigation. As disclosed in Part II, Item 1, the Securities and
Exchange Commission issued a formal order of investigation with respect to the
Company, authorizing the investigation of certain securities matters relating to
the Company. The Company cannot predict the length or potential outcome of the
SEC investigation, or the potential impact of the investigation on the Company.
If the SEC's investigation results in any formal adverse determination, which
may include a fine or other remedies, the Company's financial condition, results
of operations and business could be materially adversely affected. The Company
has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant legal and other costs in
connection with this investigation.
Reliance on Education Success Institute, Inc. (ESI). As disclosed in the
"Related Party Transactions" section above, the Company has increasingly relied
on ESI to provide the Company with sales leads. As a percentage of the overall
sales leads provided to the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2003,
57% of the leads were provided by ESI. This is compared to 35% for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. If the lead generation provided by ESI were to
cease for any reason, the Company's financial condition, results of operations
and business could be materially adversely affected.
Internet Marketing Programs. A substantial portion of the Company's sales
are developed through marketing programs on the Internet. In the Company's
experience, specific marketing programs or methods of marketing on the Internet
generally have limited periods of effectiveness. The Company may not rely upon
any single marketing program or method of marketing for any significant period
of time. In order to continue to market effectively on the Internet, the Company
must continue to adapt its current marketing programs and develop new effective
programs. Any failure by the Company to continue to develop effective Internet
marketing programs could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Retention of Sales Personnel. The Company's business is substantially
dependent upon the Company's ability to attract and retain effective sales
personnel. Any substantial turnover among sales personnel or the loss of key
sales personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition.
27
Sales Tax Audit. The Company is scheduled to undergo a sales and use tax
audit by the State of Utah. The Company has reserved $90,000 as of June 30, 2003
for payment of sales and use taxes that have not been paid to the State of Utah
during the past three years. The Company believes that the accrual is sufficient
to cover any sales and use taxes that may be owed. However, there can be no
assurance that auditors will not determine that a higher amount is owed by the
Company.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any
controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The
Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of
June 30, 2003. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
provided reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to accomplish their objectives.
In addition, there was no change in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On June 24, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a
formal order of investigation with respect to the Company, authorizing the
investigation of certain securities matters relating to the Company. The SEC
staff has informed the Company that it intends to take the testimony of certain
officers of the Company. Prior to the issuance of the order, the Company had
voluntarily provided
29
documents and information to the SEC staff in response to informal, non-public
inquiries by the staff. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the SEC in
its investigation.
The Company cannot predict the length or potential outcome of the SEC
investigation, or the potential impact of the investigation on the Company. If
the SEC's investigation results in any formal adverse determination, which may
include a fine or other remedies, the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and business could be materially adversely affected. The Company has
incurred, and may continue to incur, significant legal and other costs in
connection with this investigation.
In addition, the Company has formed a committee of independent directors of
the Company to investigate the matters raised by Grant Thornton LLP in a letter
to the Company dated April 4, 2003, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 24, 2003. The committee
is also authorized to investigate such other matters relating to the Company as
it deems advisable.
The Company is subject to various other claims and lawsuits from time to
time in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the
outcome of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or business.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
The Company issued 39,702 and 49,231 shares of common stock on January 31,
2003, and May 21, 2003, respectively, to legal counsel in partial payment for
legal services rendered to the Company in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the
first quarter of 2003, respectively, based on the average market value of the
shares during the respective quarter in which the related legal services were
rendered. Such shares were issued in reliance on the exemption provided by
section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, based on the Company's belief that
the recipient of the shares was a sophisticated investor and had access to
information regarding the Company. The certificates evidencing those shares
contain legends indicating they were acquired for investment and restricting
transfer in the absence of an effective registration or satisfaction of other
conditions.
