Item 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
General
- -------
The Company currently derives its revenues principally from its Internet
web sites namely Sizzle and Chisel. While the Internet continues to become
more accessible, the Company is actively researching and developing other
projects that will utilize its existing facilities and expertise.
The following tables set forth statements of operations data for the three
and six months ended January 31, 1998 and 1997 and balance sheet data as at
January 31, 1998 and April 30, 1997.

B. Balance Sheet Data
- ---------------------
At Jan 31, At April 30,
1998 1997
---------- -----------
Working Capital (Deficiency) (335,255) (790,726)
Total Assets 2,951,879 1,197,199
Long Term Debt 212,139 237,371
Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) 1,501,526 (70,963)
Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) (1,017,345) (119,911)
The Company's revenues increased 50.7% to $812,177 for the quarter ended
January 31, 1998 compared to $538,902 for the prior year quarter. On a
year-to-date basis, revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 1998
were $2,242,246, 68.4% greater than the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year. The growth is primarily due to increased subscription revenue
from the Company's Internet web sites. Along with the growth in sales,
gross margin increased to $482,626 for the three months ended January 31,
1998 from $301,003 for the three months ended January 31, 1997. Gross
margin was increased from 55.9% for the three months ended January 31, 1997
to 59.4% for the three months ended January 31, 1998 due to the
discontinuance of the pay per usage Internet site "Livewomen" in September
1997 and efficiencies gained from an increase in membership. The
lower gross margin on the pay per usage Internet site "Livewomen",
caused a drop in gross margin to 56.2% for the nine months ended January
31, 1998 from 57.7% for the nine months ended January 31, 1997.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 23.9% to $420,315
(51.8% of sales) for the three months ended January 31, 1998 from $339,119
(62.9% of sales) for the prior year quarter.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1998
amounted to $615,942, compared to $327,588 in the previous quarter. These
expenses are mainly related to the Company's increased effort in exploring
new business opportunities and development of the gaming project in
Antigua. Production costs for the gaming software incurred subsequent to
the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized as software
development cost. As the gaming project is in its final testing stage, the
Company expects R&D costs to be significantly reduced and the gaming
operations starts generating revenues in the next quarter.
Interest expense increased to $15,625 for the three months ended January
31, 1998 from $2,770 for the prior year quarter. The increase was mainly
resulted from interest cost due to bank borrowing and additional capital
leases obtained.
Net loss from operations for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 was
$569,256 compared to $38,116 for the prior year quarter. The loss for the
quarter ended January 31, 1998 was the result of the significant increase
in R&D costs incurred during the period. If the Company had not invested in
research and development, the Company would have had
net income from operations of $62,311 for the three months ended January
31, 1998 and $287,527 for the nine months ended January 31, 1998. No income
tax expense was recorded for the three months ended January 31, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
At January 31, 1998, the Company had $423,596 in cash and cash equivalents
compared to $27,545 at April 31, 1997. The Company expects to meet its
future cash requirements through equity financing and cash generated from
operations.
Net cash generated from (used for) operations for the nine months ended
January 31, 1998 decreased to ($451,403) from $467,061 for the nine months
ended January 31, 1997. The decrease in cashflow from operations is mainly
due to the increase in prepaid expenses resulted from the prepayment of the
gaming license in Antigua and net loss due to the increase in R&D expenses.
Net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended January
31, 1998 was $1,566,277 compared to $445,653 for the nine months ended
January 31, 1997. The increase was resulted from higher level of investment
in notes receivable, capital assets, assets pledged and deferred software
development costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended January
31, 1998 was $2,413,731 compared to $132,877 for the nine months ended
January 31, 1997. The increase is resulted from the completion of the
share offering for $2,450,000 and bank borrowing for $389,669.
Impact of Inflation
- -------------------
The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
past business.
