SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods shown. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. The results of operations for both the three and nine month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year of operations. Use of estimates - The Company's management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the financial statements. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Key estimates include the collectibility of the accounts receivable, the returns of merchandise shipped, inventory valuations and marketability. In addition, the Company records its liability for license and royalty fees based upon contractual obligations. These calculations are subject to review by independent agencies. Should the results of a review produce amounts greater than those recorded by the Company, there may be a negative impact on the Company's financial statements. 2. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in first-out basis) or market and consists of the following: September 30, Dec. 31, 1998 1997 ------------------- ----------------------- Raw Materials $685,430 $632,069 Finished goods and components 837,748 710,184 Reserve for obsolescence Total $1,523,178 $1,342,253 =================== ======================= 3. Major Customers DNA Music represented approximately 38% of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, and is the Company's largest customer. Cisco Music accounted for approximately 13% of sales during the same period. Previously, Passport music was the Company's largest customer and exclusive distributor, and represented approximately 70 % of Company sales for the first nine months of 1997. In the third quarter of 1997, Passport Music filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. As a result, the Company received approximately $470,000 in returned merchandise from Passport, subsequently shipped out approximately $300,000 of the returned product to other distributors, and recorded approximately $70,000 in net returns. 4. Promissory Notes Payable The Board of Directors of the Company had authorized the offering (the "offering") of preferred stock, convertible into common stock on a 1 to 1 ratio, to all shareholders of the Company who were shareholders of record on or about April 9, 1998. The convertible preferred stock was to be offered on a 1,000,000 share minimum and a 2,500,000 share maximum basis. Each convertible preferred stock was to pay an 8% per annum dividend on a quarterly basis. The dividend was to be paid in cash and was to be cumulative. The offering price was to be $.40 per share. Each holder of one share of convertible preferred stock was to have the right to convert each such share into 1 share of the Company's common stock, on a fully-paid, non-assessable basis, up to and including September 1, 2001, unless extended by the Company's Board of Directors to September 1, 2003. In late June of 1998, management suspended the offering of the preferred stock due to the market conditions of the Company's stock price. Certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company, and one other accredited individual (the "Standby Parties"), had committed to purchase $630,000 (1,575,000 shares) of the convertible preferred stock, no par value, offering which would not otherwise have been purchased by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to a prospectus. The Standby Parties loaned the Company the full amount of their respective commitments. The loans were evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum until the maturity date of May 15, 1998. During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, $330,000 in promissory notes had been issued to the Standby Parties. Approximately $27,028 in accrued interest on the promissory notes was recorded through September 30, 1998. The remaining $300,000 commitment was received by the Company in April 1998. The May 8, 1998 maturity dates of the $630,000 convertible debentures have not been formally extended. During January 1999, Photo Dimensions, Inc. ("PDI"), the Company's wholly owned camera subsidiary, entered into an agreement with Foto Technology LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company ("FTLLC"). The Standby Parties are the members of FTLLC. Under the agreement, FTLLC is purchasing all of the assets of PDI and assuming most of the liabilities of PDI. The purchase price to be paid by FTLLC to PDI for the purchase of the assets, together with the assumption of certain liabilities, is $630,000. The $630,000 is to be paid at the closing by the Standby Parties assigning their respective promissory notes to FTLLC, and the FTLLC will terminate the $630,000 of debt, plus accrued interest, owed by the Company. 5. Long-Term Debt Long-Term Debt consists of four quarterly $10,000 installments to a former vendor. Due year ended September 30, 1999 $40,000 Adjustments have been made much to DCC's long-term debt to reflect a settlement agreement entered into with Re-Pac and the Company, and certain other parties. Under the Re-Pac settlement agreement $150,000 debt owed to Re-Pac and Robert Craig by the Company shall be deemed "paid and satisfied in full" in consideration of the Company issuing 300,000 shares of its common stock to Robert Craig. (see the discussion under Overview, below) 6. STOCK COMPENSATION AGREEMENT In accordance with the stock compensation agreements entered into with the Company, each of the six directors have been granted rights to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.40 per share over the next four years. The consideration for the shares for each director who has served as a director continuously for the 12 months preceding each of the four anniversary dates will be the services performed. A deferred compensation liability for $230,000 (corresponding to six directors at $40,000 each) has been recorded at the March 31, 1998 balance sheet date. 7. Basis of Presentation The Company increased sales of the Photo Dimensions camera by approximately $218,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 from the comparable period of the previous year. The increased working capital needed to prepare the film and load the film into the single use caption cameras, and to carry the accounts receivable related to this increased sales volume, has been a severe strain on the Company's liquidity. As a result, the Company seeks to obtain additional outside financing to meet its obligations. No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of the assets should the additional outside not be obtained. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Overview -------- DCC Compact Classics, Inc. is a specialty entertainment company that seeks to Identify and exploit niches within the entertainment industry. This strategy has been demonstrated by the Company in the manner in which it identified a niche with the high-end audio market. It has since fulfilled this niche through the Compilation and distribution of the Company's 24K Gold CDs. Sales of the captioned camera product by Photo Dimensions, Inc. ("PDI"), the Company's wholly Owned camera subsidiary increased by 61% for the first nine months of the year over year-ago Levels. The company's core business of high quality compact discs' gross revenues were off by 35% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decline is primarily decline is primarily due to management's attention to the caption camera business. due to the management's attention to the caption camera business. Although captioned camera sales for the first nine months increased by more than 61 percent compared to that of the prior year, management anticipates continued Losses through the fiscal year ended 1998. The development of the caption camera on a mass production basis has exerted a severe strain on the Company's financial and managerial resources. The recognition by management of the severity of the strain led to the decision by management to sell PDI. During January, 1999 PDI entered into an agreement with Foto Technology LLC ("FTLLC") to sell all of the assets of PDI to FTLLC. The assets include the patents for the captioned camera held by PDI. Certain of the liabilities of PDI , and of the Company's, are to be assumed by FTLLC. (see the discussion under Promissory notes Payable, above.) The cash advances made by the Company to PDI during the last two and one-half years, of approximately $1,500,000, are to be written off. The effective date of the agreement is January 14, 1999. The closing is to occur once California's bulk sales law has been satisfied. The Company has been talking with a third party about the purchase of substantially all of the assets of a transaction is necessary to maintain the Company as a viable entity by, hopefully, infusing some much-needed cash into the Company. In essence, the Company is seeking a "fresh-start" without resorting to a bankruptcy. If a transaction is consummated, management would then seek an investment partner so that the Company would be in the position to refocus on its core music business. Result of Operations The following sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage of total revenues represented by each subsidiary of the Company's statements of operations: Three months ended Nine Months ended September 30 September 30 1998 1998 Revenues: DCC Compact Classics $ 678,911 78% $ 2,162,245 78% Romance Alive Audio 6,583 1% 9,329 0% Photo Dimensions 182,886 21% 606,389 22% ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total revenues $ 868,380 100% $ 2,777,963 100% Net Income (Loss): DCC Compact Classics $ 784,918 141% $ 666,742 12027% Romance Alive Audio (22,497) -4% (22,322) -403% Photo Dimensions (206,626 -37% (638,876) -11524% ----------- ----------- Total Net Income $ 555,795 100% $ 5,544 100% Nine months ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $2,777,963 compared to $3,783,675, a decline of $1,005,712 or 26 percent. This primarily is attributable to the devotion of Management in an attempt to establish PDI, the Company's wholly owned camera subsidiary, thereby Resulting in less focus on the core music business. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $2,008,359 compared to $2,239,494 for the same period in 1997, or a decrease of $231,135, or 10%. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were 72% compared to 59 percent for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. This increase can be attributed primarily to extraordinary expenses related to PDI in the arduous process of developing better cost effective techniques in production and quality control of the caption camera. Selling, administrative and other operating expenses were up $19,508, to $1,762,056 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $1,742,548 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase is primarily due to the increased effort to develop the business of PDI. Results of operations was a net loss of $5,544 or $.00 per share for the nine months Ended September 30, 1998 compared to a loss of $173,294 or $.02 per share for the same period in 1997. Management attributes this loss primarily to the decline in gross revenues in the music division and continued expenses of establishing the PDI brand name and production facilities. However, the writedown of royalties payable by $1,095,568, booked as "other income" during the quarter ended September 30, 1998, reduced the company's net loss to $5,544 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. Three months ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the third quarter of 1998, the Company reported a net profit of $555,818 compared to a loss of $(32,592) for the same period in 1997. However, the net profit was attributable to the writedown of royalties payable by $1,095,568 during the third quarter. The adjustment was booked as "other income" and was a non-cash item. Without the adjustment, there Would have been a net loss of $539,750 for the third quarter of 1998. Revenues decreased $535,284 to $871,381 for the third quarter ending September 30, 1998 compared to $1,406,665 for the same period in 1997. The decline in sales reflects sales returns for the quarter of $102,278 and a decline in new releases in the music division. Selling and administrative costs increased 15% to $712,941 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $619,372 for the same period in 1997. Liquidity and capital resources - -------------------------------------- The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,114,000 at September 30, 1998, as opposed to a working capital deficit of approximately $952,000 at December 31, 1997. The decline in working capital is primarily due to the operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. In July 1998, the Company was notified by Merrill Lynch Financial Services, Inc. that its line of credit in the amount of $750,000 would not be renewed. The line of credit is a revolving line which matured on June 30, 1998. The Company has been in discussions with Merrill Lynch to work out a payment arrangement. The Company is experiencing severe short-term liquidity problems. The Company does not have the ability to generate the operating income needed to meet its short-term cash requirements. The Company must find external sources to meet its cash requirements. The Company has entered into an agreement to sell the assets, and the assumptions of certain liabilities, of Photo Dimensions, Inc., the Company's wholly owned caption camera company. The sale will eliminate a major drain on the Company's liquidity sources. Also, the Company is in talks to sell its assets involving the assumption of certain liabilities of the Company. If the talks result in a binding agreement, the Company anticipates receiving some cash. Otherwise, the Company may have no alternative but to file for protection under the Federal bankruptcy laws. Item 1. Legal Proceedings - --------------------------- In September 1998, The Company settled the lawsuit filed against VRG Records and the cross-complaint against the Company. The settlement provides for the Company to pay VRG $80,000. $25,000 has been paid in September, with the balance to be paid $10,000 quarterly. In addition VRG must purchase all of the inventory Navarre Corporation has returned to the Company at $2.50 per CD and $2.00 per cassette up to 15,000 units each. During December 1998, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Re-Pac Corporation ("Re-Pac") and Robert Craig ("Craig"). Photo Dimensions, Inc. ("PDI") was a part of the settlement. Craig is the inventor of the caption camera and Re-Pac was the company which sold 100% of the common stock of PDI to the Company. Under the settlement, all parties have released each other from all claims. The Company is to transfer 300,000 shares of DCC's common stock to Craig. The $150,000 debt owed to Re-Pac by the Company, which represents part of the purchase price of PDI, shall be deemed "paid and satisfied in full". The Company anticipates entering into a confession of judgment as part of a settlement of a lawsuit brought by Navarre Corporation ("Navarre"). In the lawsuit Navarre claims that the Company and Sandstone Music, a label division of the Company, owed Navarre $106,000 under a wholesale distribution agreement. In settlement of Navarre's claim, the Company would pay Navarre $80,000. $15,000 is to be paid within ten days of the execution of the settlement agreement. The $65,000 balance, together with interest at 9.00% per annum, is to be paid in monthly installments of principal and interest over a two year period. Item 2.
