Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's consolidated financial
condition and results of operation for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999, and
quarter ending April 30, 2000, should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. When used in the
following discussions, the words "believes," "anticipates," "intends,"
"expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
which could cause results to differ materially from those projected.
General Discussion of the Company
The Company is primarily engaged in the design, development, assembly, marketing
and sale of a unique patent-pending wet waste interceptor plumbing product
called the RINO(TM) System. During the fiscal years July 31, 1999 ("fiscal
1999"), as well as prior years, the Company's management has concentrated its
time and efforts on ensuring that the Rhino wet waste interceptor product line
be designed and developed into a product line that can be manufactured
efficiently and consistently to meet a wide variety of end users needs.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Company started an aggressive
sales and marketing program throughout North America. The Company has attended
hospitality, restaurant and plumbing related trade shows aimed at increasing the
public's awareness of the Company's patented wet waste interceptor product line
and to attract new dealers/distributors for the product line.
During this time period, the Company attended shows in Toronto, Myrtle Beach,
Nashville, and Orlando. Additional trade shows are planned in Vancouver,
Moncton, New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Anaheim. The Company is
concentrating on the hospitality and food service market sector as this is a
market area that can realize an immediate savings from the installation of a
Rhino Wet Waste Interceptor.
To aid in qualifying the show attendance at the Rhino booth at these various
trade shows, a telemarketing/sales team within the Company is being used to
promote its product line before and after each show. Rhino dealers/distributors
have been established in the Bahamas, Hawaii, Nova Scotia, British Columbia,
metro Toronto and Montreal, Canada as a result of this sales and marketing
campaign. Additional dealer/distributor locations are in the final stages of
completion.
The Company intends to continue this sales and marketing approach to raise the
general public's awareness of the Rhino wet waste interceptor product line and
to obtain a distribution network of exclusive and non-exclusive dealers. The
Company intends to supply quality, manufactured product line to a professionally
trained and dedicated dealer network.
As of the end of fiscal 1999, the Company has had no significant revenue derived
from operations. The Company's cumulative net loss to the end of the quarter
ended April 30, 2000 totals $1,616,760. The Company intends to enlarge the
dealership base and resulting sales throughout the remainder of fiscal 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the past three fiscal years, the Company has financed its operations
primarily through cash provided through various short and long term credit
facilities and through the private sale of its securities pursuant to applicable
offering exemptions. The Company intends to complete its first public offering
of shares during fiscal 2000. The Company's management believes that sufficient
funds will be raised from future operations so as to minimize the need for
future equity capitalization.
9
In addition, management of the Company believes the needs for additional capital
going forward will be derived somewhat from internal revenues and earnings
generated from the sale of its products and services. If the Company is unable
to begin to generate revenues from its anticipated products, management believes
the Company will need to raise additional funds to meet its cash requirements.
This document and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") contain certain forward-looking statements under
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the
business of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, including those mentioned above, which may cause actual
results to differ significantly from these forward-looking statements. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be necessary to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. An investment in the Company involves various risks,
including those mentioned above and those which are detailed from time to time
in the Company's SEC filings.
