NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997
and for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 have not
been audited by independent auditors, but in the opinion of management,
such unaudited statements include all adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, the results of operations and cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and related notes concerning the
Company's accounting policies and other matters contained in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB. The results for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
presentation.
2. LOSS PER SHARE
Per share information is computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents
outstanding during the respective periods
3. ACQUISITIONS
a. On August 22, 1996, the Company purchased all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of the Private Label Group for a
purchase price of $2,174,790 of which $1,758,750 was paid by
the delivery of the Company's promissory notes and the
remainder in cash.
The acquisition of the Private Label Group has been accounted
for as a purchase and accordingly, the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair
values. The following table summarizes this acquisition:
-4-
Purchase Price, including acquisition costs $ 2,174,790
Liabilities assumed 4,754,844
Assets Acquired:
Inventories (1,490,774)
Accounts receivable, net (1,523,020)
Fixed assets, net (518,872)
Other assets (154,762)
Formulae and customer list (3,237,000)
--------------------
Goodwill $ 5,206
====================
Included in assets acquired are certain intangible consisting
principally of formulae and customer lists valued at
$2,285,000 and $952,000, respectively. The allocation of the
purchase price of these assets was based on an independent
appraisal.
Amortization periods for formulae and customer lists are 15
and 19 years, respectively. Goodwill is being amortized over
20 years.
The results of operations for the Private Label Group for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 are included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The following schedule combines the unaudited proforma results
of operations of the Company for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and the Private Label Group for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996 and includes such
adjustments which are directly attributable to the
acquisition. It should not be considered indicative of the
results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions not
occurred or the results that would have been obtained had the
acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 1996.

Net sales $ 2,417,285 $ 4,964,111
Net loss (359,535) (879,113)
Net loss per share (0.13) (0.33)
Shares used in computation 2,685,000 2,659,583
b. In October 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets of
Scent Overnight, a company of which the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, is a majority
stockholder for (i) a $225,000 promissory note bearing
interest at the rate of 9% per annum and (ii) the assumption
of a promissory note of $210,000 plus accrued interest of
$15,400 which was assumed by the Company in September 1995.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting with the basis used to record the assets of Scent
Overnight as zero which is the transferor's historical cost
basis. The assets of Scent Overnight consisted of only
intangible assets which is primarily Scent Overnight's name.
Scent had no operations during the year ended December 31,
1996 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 30, 1997 the Company successfully completed its
initial public offering. The Company raised gross proceeds of
$ 5,400,000 before offering expenses and underwriters
discounts pursuant to the sale of the Company's common stock
and redeemable warrants.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
Azurel, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, manufactures, markets,
and sells private label cosmetics, fragrances and skincare products.
Prior to the completion of the acquisitions of the subsidiaries, Azurel
focused its operations on negotiating and consumating such acquisitions
and developing and implementing marketing strategies for its Branded
Products.
In August 1996, Azurel acquired the stock of Private Label Group (PLC),
and in October 1996, Azurel acquired the stock of Scent Overnight
(currently Scent 1-2-3).
Results of Operations.
Total revenues for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1997
were $6,031,468 and $3,298,286 respectively, compared to zero revenues
in the comparable period of the prior year, as Azurel had not yet
consumated the acquisition of PLC. The sales reported, resulted almost
entirely from the acquisition of PLC which was acquired in August 1996.
The six months and three months ended June 30, 1997 includes revenues
of $56,993 and $3,811 for Azurel International sales respectively.
-5-
Cost of sales was $4,670,452 and $2,562,942 for the six months and
three months ended June 30, 1997, with no corresponding data from the
same periods of 1996 as Azurel had not yet consumated the acquisition
of PLC. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 23% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 22% for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The cost of sales resulted almost entirely from the acquisition
of PLC in August 1996, and the results of PLC's operations for the six
months period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months and
three months ended June 30, 1997 were $1,887,791 and $918,015 as
compared to $415,651 and $154, 420 for the six and three months ended
June 30, 1996. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses was due to the acquisition of PLC and the expenses related to
its operations, compared to the minimal operating expenses associated
with a minimal revenue producing company.
For the six months and three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's
net income included non-cash expenses of $224,005 and $98,483,
respectively. Such expense was incurred principally as a result of
depreciation and amortization of assets acquired with the acquisition
of PLC.
Interest expense was $235,731 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and $104,542 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to
$317,584 for the six months and $45,064 for the three months ended June
30, 1996, reflecting interest paid on bridge loans utilized to provide
interim financing pending an initial public offering, which was
successfully completed on July 30, 1997 as well as interest expense for
PLC operations.
As a result of all the above factors, net losses for the six months and
three months ended June 30, 1997 was $762,506 and $287,213, as compared
to a net loss of $733,235 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and a
net loss of $199,484 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary source of liquidity is accounts receivable of
$1,902,923, notes receivable of $290,279 and inventory of $1,160,153.
In July 1997, the Company successfully completed an initial public
offering. The Company raised gross proceeds of $5,400,000 before
offering expenses and underwriter discounts and repayments of certain
bridge loans, pursuant to the sale of the Company's common stock and
redeemable warrants.
To date, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
business.
