MUZAK CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Muzak Capital Corporation (the "Company") (formerly Muzak, Inc.), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Muzak Limited Partnership ("MLP"), was formed on
May 8, 1996. The Company filed a registration statement along with MLP for
the underwritten offering of senior notes of which the Company and MLP are
co-issuers. The offering closed in October 1996. The Company is dependent
upon results of operations and cash flow of MLP to meet debt service
obligations of the senior notes. No activity has occurred from May 8, 1996
(date of inception) through June 30, 1998; therefore, statements of
operations and cash flows have not been included herein.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
registrant's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 31, 1998.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or future filings by the
Company, as defined below, and Capital Corp., as defined below, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's and Capital Corp's press
releases or other public communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "believes,"
"will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated,"
"estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company and Capital Corp. wish to caution
readers not to place undo reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors,
including rapid technological change, competitive pricing, concentrations in and
dependence on satellite delivery capabilities, and development of new services
could affect the Company's and Capital Corp.'s financial performance and could
cause the Company's and Capital Corp.'s actual results for future periods to
differ materially from those anticipated or projected.
The Company and Capital Corp. do not undertake and specifically disclaim any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such
statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES. Total revenues increased 8.6% and 8.0% for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1997. These revenue increases were largely due to the acquisition of
competitor's music service accounts and one-time equipment and related
service revenues associated with non-acquisition growth. Exclusive of the
impact from acquisitions, our recurring music and other services monthly
billing has increased by approximately $210,000 year to date through June 30,
1998, where as the growth in our monthly billing for 1997 was roughly half of
this rate. Each month the Company is billing over $210,000 per month more
than it was at the beginning of the year as a result of the sales of
recurring services made during 1998. Music and other business services
revenue increased by $1.6 and $2.7 million over the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1997. Equipment and related revenues increased by 3.5% and 5.6% for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1998. The three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1998 do not include approximately $625,000 of lost revenues
related to the G4 satellite outage.
On May 19, 1998, the satellite that carries approximately 60% of our
subscribers, Galaxy 4 had a failure that caused it to spin uncontrollably out
of orbit. A satellite failure of this nature and magnitude has never occurred
and thus was a critical juncture for the Company. A tremendous amount of
resources within the Company was needed to continue to provide service to our
valuable customers, which involved the repointing to our new satellite,
Galaxy 3r of over 100,000 satellite dishes located at customer locations
across the country.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 4.2% and 5.9% over the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1997. Gross margins for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 were
55.1% and 56.5%, respectively, a decline from the 57.4% and 57.6% for the same
periods during 1997. The decline in margins is primarily due to lost revenue
and an increase of $775,000 in labor costs related to the G4 satellite outage.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in 1997.
These expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were 34.8% and 34.0% for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 39.4% and 37.9% for
the same periods in 1997. These decreases were a result of approximately
$750,000 in severance charges during the second quarter of 1997 related to
certain management changes.
EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION. Equity based compensation was $600,000 and
$867,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 to reflect
the grant of options to certain executive management members during 1997 and
management's estimate of the increasing partnership unit price.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased
$484,000 and $845,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, as compared to the same periods during 1997. This decrease was
primarily the result of assets related to the MLP acquisition of Muzak that were
fully depreciated the third quarter of 1997.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest expense net of interest income, equity
income (losses) of joint venture and other income and expense increased
$41,000 and $253,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, as compared to the same periods during 1997. These increases
were primarily the result of a reduction in interest income as the Company's
cash balance has declined from $20.0 million in June 1997 to $2.0 million for
the same period in 1998.
NET LOSS. Net loss decreased to $2.5 and $4.4 million for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to $3.8 and $7.0
million for the same periods in 1997.
Muzak Capital Corporation. Muzak Capital Corporation ("Capital Corp."), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was organized on May 8, 1996, has
nominal assets and conducts no business operations. Capital Corp. has no
independent operations and is dependent on the cash flow of the Company to
meet its sole obligation, the payment of interest and principal on the Senior
Notes when due. A discussion of Capital Corp. has been omitted in the
period-to-period comparison due to its lack of significant assets and lack of
operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $8.5 million as of December 31, 1997
to $1.9 million as of June 30, 1998. The Company's operating cash flow during
this period was $5.0 million, including a net change in operating assets and
liabilities of $2.0 million. The operating cash flow was primarily used to
fund capital requirements associated with new subscriber additions and
acquisitions of its competitors' business music accounts.
In March 1998, the Company obtained a credit facility for working capital
purposes with an initial availability of $3.0 million, increasing to $5.0
million upon the attainment of certain cash flow related targets. The credit
facility is secured by the inventories and receivables of the Company and
expires on June 30, 1999. Amounts outstanding under the facility will bear a
variable rate of interest, to be paid quarterly, based on the lender's prime
rate or LIBOR plus 2%. The terms of the credit facility require the Company
to maintain certain performance standards and covenants that, among other
things, limit the Company's capital spending and acquisitions of other
businesses, as well as the Company's ability to incur additional debt and
make distributions to partners. As of June 30, 1998 the Company's had $2.2
million outstanding at 8.75% interest under this credit facility.
In connection with the acquisition of a competitor's business music accounts
the Company signed a $3.0 million promissory note. This note requires annual
payments of $510,000 per year starting in April of 1998 and bears an interest
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
In June 1998 the Company entered into a purchase commitment agreement with a
drive through equipment vendor which guarantees that the Company owned or
independent affiliates will purchase at least $2.0 million dollars of
drive-through and related equipment by April 30, 1999.
Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to
purchase the subscriber accounts from two competing business music
distributors for an approximate cash and equity consideration of $750,000. On
July 1, 1998, the Company repurchased a total of 100,000 class B limited
partnership units, from a former member of management, for a total repurchase
price of $215,000. On July 10, 1998 EAIC Corp., a formerly wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, consummated a recapitalization and equity
financing pursuant to which the shares held by the Company became non-voting
securities and 73,500 shares of class A preferred stock of EAIC Corp., were
issued to a new investor for a total consideration of $3.3 million.
On April 16, 1998 the Company entered into a agreement with its joint venture
partner in Muzak Europe that effectively liquidated the Company's interest in
Muzak Europe in exchange for a seven year $800,000 promissory note, which bears
interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, and the right of the Company to
participate up to five percent (5%) of the business service revenues of the
European venture in its new role as franchisor.
The Company believes that its cash flows from operations, borrowing availability
and cash on hand will be adequate to support currently planned business
operations, capital expenditures and debt service requirements at least through
December 1999. If the Company engages in one or more material acquisitions,
joint ventures or alliances or other major business initiatives requiring
significant cash commitments, or incurs unanticipated expenses, additional
financing could be required.
YEAR 2000 CONVERSION
The Company is currently in the process of upgrading all of its computer
systems to be year 2000 compliant. Management's original estimate was to have
all of the Company's systems year 2000 compliant by the end of third quarter
1998. Currently management believes that this original estimate will not be
obtained, but is fully confident that the Company's systems will be year 2000
compliant by the end of the year 1999. While currently the Company is not
dependent on one vendor for any one service or supply, failure of one of the
broadcast satellites used by the Company would have a material impact on the
Company. Once the main operating system is converted the Company will be
dependent of the services of the system developer for support of this system.
The Company has received confirmation from all of its satellite space
providers that they are year 2000 compliant. Management is currently
developing a contingency plan to address year 2000 system failures for both
internal and external service providers.
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, REPORTING
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. This statement requires comprehensive income and its
components to be reported in the financial statements in the period in which
they are recognized. Components of comprehensive income include redeemable
preferred returns. Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT
SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, was issued and is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires the
reporting and disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about
operating segments of the Company. This statement will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements and will be adopted for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998.
