AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Genius Products, Inc. have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The notes to the condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statement contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. Company management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. NOTE B: COMMON STOCK During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we issued a total of 9,152,553 shares, of which 3,559,700 restricted shares were issued at prices of $.50, $.63 and $.80 per share for notes secured by the stock amounting to $2,542,410. We also issued (a) 4,566,190 shares at a price of $.63 per share for net proceeds of $2,876,700 in private placements, (b) 99,215 shares for the conversion of $62,506 short-term debt, and (c) 616,484 shares for $350,050 in services and $73,600 of production masters. Additionally, 310,964 shares were issued to employees for $180,000 past and current compensation. 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTE A TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ABOVE. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR THE COMPANY'S FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. The three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Revenues consist primarily of music (Baby Genius) product sales to wholesale customers and via the internet to retail customers, and charges to customers for shipping and handling, net of product returns and discounts. The company recognizes royalty revenue related to licensing the Baby Genius trademark, and related to the distribution of our line of videos. Revenues also include sales of jewelry products, net of returns. Total revenues increased 329% ($425,457) to $554,970 for the three months and 141% ($587,690) to $1,005,585 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Music sales increased 1077% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, and 163% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, due to the completion of our re-packaging activities and the continued delivery of our new multi packs. We are now developing new titles and shipping the new style packaging. Video sales (royalties) are up from $0 to $78,887 for the three months and from $0 to $99,671 for the six months of this year versus 2001. These increases are a result of our obtaining a wider distribution of our products and increasing our sales to existing customers. Increasing jewelry and other sales, from $91,156 to $129,904 (43%) and from $149,589 to $234,265 (57%), for the three and six month periods respectively, are an indication of our reluctance to abandon a product line that has been profitable for us. We continue to consider whether we will remain in this business area and continue to place our primary focus on our music and video business segment. Costs of sales consist primarily of the costs of products sold to customers and packaging and shipping costs and commissions relating to licensing revenues. The high cost of sales for both music and jewelry products are a reflection of the clearance and write off of old inventory and the charge to operations for promotional products. The gross margin on video sales and royalties, and our licensing revenues, was 75% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 89% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Sales and marketing expenses consist of costs for consultants, marketing personnel and promotional activities. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 21% ($19,285) to $71,698 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $90,983 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 reflecting the continued effort to reduce costs. Our costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are down 42% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. Costs in this area will begin to increase as we commit resources to marketing and sales of new and existing product lines. Product and web development expenses consist of personnel, consultants and services in the development of the Baby Genius web site and product line. Product and web development costs decreased by 90% and 80% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 respectively as compared to the same periods in 2001. Cost reductions of $77,022 and $175,640 for the three and six months as compared to the same periods in 2001 were the result of the completion of the web site development and our previous lack of funding. The effects of the increasing expenditures for product development can be seen in the increased development costs capitalized during the period. The cost of this activity will be recognized in future periods. General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related costs for executive and administrative personnel, professional services and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 203% ($732,887) to $1,093,833 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 119% ($888,125) to $1,633,172 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $360,946 for the three months and $745,047 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is a result of the costs associated with the issuance of options to both employees and consultants ($376,575), the increased cost of consultants and professionals as we increased our marketing efforts ($283,000), an increase in our bad debt reserve ($30,000) and other general increases related to the renewed activity brought about by the new funding. 8 The 28% decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from the same period last year and the 70% decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period last year reflects the decrease in borrowings due to the funding from the issuance of stock rather than notes and debentures. Interest income represents the earnings on both short-term invested funds and the amounts earned on subscription agreements. The funding has secured our operations through 2002. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the six months ended June 30, 2002 we obtained significant financing primarily through the issuance of additional common shares in private placements for cash proceeds of $2,876,700. We believe this financing is sufficient to meet our needs for as much as twelve months. PART II--OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the normal course of conducting business, we are involved in various litigation. There has been no material change in legal proceedings from those disclosed previously in our Form 1O-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS During the period from January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002, we issued a total of 9,152,553 shares, of which (a) 3,559,700 restricted shares were issued at prices of $.50, $.63 and $.80 per share for notes secured by the stock amounting to $2,542,410. We also issued 4,566,190 shares at a price of $.63 per share for net proceeds of $2,876,700 to accredited investors pursuant to private placements under Section 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), (b) 99,215 shares were issued for the conversion of short-term debt, and (c) an aggregate of 497,057 unregistered shares and 119,427 registered shares pursuant to a number of agreements with third-party consultants and service providers and related parties issued under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act. Additionally, 310,964 shares were issued to employees in lieu of cash payment for past and current compensation. All cash proceeds were used principally for working capital purposes. ITEM 3.
