ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1998
VS.
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997
Royalty payments from licensee offices for the three month period ended
August 31, 1998 totaled $649, 421 as compared to $703,535 during the same period
in the prior fiscal year. This represents a decrease of nearly 8% in royalty
revenue despite an increase in the number of licensee offices. During this same
period the Company recognized $178,405 in consulting income from the operation
of several company owned Haldane offices which were acquired when the licensee
terminated the license of a prior licensee. During the same period in the prior
calendar quarter the Company recognized $2,100 in consulting revenues. (Company
owned offices report revenues as consulting income and do not pay royalties.)
The Company did not recognize any revenues from the sale of territorial licenses
as compared to $41,721 during the three month period ended August 31, 1997.
Additional revenues for the quarter ended August 31, 1998 include
$20,153 in interest and dividend income as compared to $29,922 during the three
month period ended August 31, 1997. This decrease in interest income is directly
attributable to the Company's declining cash position.
Total revenues for the three months ended August 31, 1998 as compared
to August 31, 1997 were $847,979 as compared to $777,278. This 9% increase in
revenues is directly attributable to the fact that the Company was required to
operated several Haldane offices and does not reflect an increase in
profitability. In fact, net income has declined significantly due to an increase
in expenses from $511,253 to $817,624, an increase of approximately 60%.
-9-
Income before taxes decreased fro $266,025 to $30,355; a decline of
more than 76%. Payroll and general and administrative costs increased from
$145,389 to $276,335, an increase of 90%; while general and administrative
expenses increased from $231,944 to $375,251, an increase of 62%. These
increased costs were primarily attributable to the costs incurred by the company
in assuming certain preexisting obligations of the terminated licensed offices
and additional fees and costs incurred in operating these terminated licenses
offices as company owned Haldane offices. Net income after taxes for the three
months ended August 31, 1998 totaled $18,355 as compared to $156,025 for the
three months ended August 31, 1997. Income per share of common stock declined
from $ .16 to $ .02.
With the anticipated sale of all company owned offices to be completed
in the Company's second quarter, management anticipates a significant reduction
in operating expenses and anticipates improved operating results.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
August 31, 1998 AS COMPARED TO MAY 31, 1998
Total current assets as of August 31, 1998 were $2,562,935 as compared
to $2,528,263, an increase of 1%. Cash and cash equivalents declined from
$1,693,220 to $1,495,205, while short term investments increased from $108,908
to $110,202 and accounts receivable increased nearly 50%, from $315,436 to
$475,805.
The Company reported the value of its license, equipment, and other
non-current assets of $1,325,708 as compared to $1,399,935 and total assets of
$3,888,643 as compared to $3,928,198 a decline of approximately 1%.
Total current liabilities declined from $264,199 to $218,308 and total
liabilities declined from $886,771 to $828,861, a decrease of approximately 7%.
