recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods
10
presented have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. The results of the interim periods presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.
NOTE B -RESTRICTED CASH AND CUSTOMER ESCROW ACCOUNTS
The Company's merchant banking subsidiary, Imtek Funding

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Certain statements in this report set forth management's intentions,
plans, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future based on current
facts and analyses. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated
in such statements, due to a variety of factors including reduced product
demand, market conditions, the availability of suitable acquisition
candidates, increased competition, government action and other factors.
BACKGROUND
Imtek Office Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") effectively commenced
operations on April 22, 1997. Prior to April 22, 1997, the Company was a
development stage company with no significant operations. The Company, for
the fiscal year-ended September 30, 1997, was primarily engaged in the retail
and wholesale sale of copiers and facsimile equipment, the servicing of
office equipment, the providing commercial printing and duplicating services
and, to a lesser extent, the retail sale of office supplies. Effective
October 1, 1997, the Company commenced operation of its Merchant Banking
segment, primarily through the purchase and resale of life insurance policies
of terminally ill individuals ("viatical settlements"). The Company operates
principally in the Mid-Atlantic region, consisting of Baltimore, Maryland,
Philadelphia, PA, Washington D.C., Richmond, Virginia, Tidewater area of
Southeastern Virginia, and the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia market.
The Company changed its fiscal year-end from September 30 to June
30, effective June 30, 1998, as previously reported on Form 8-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 1998 and incorporated
herein by reference. Because the Company was in a start-up mode during 1997
with limited activity during fiscal year ended September 30, 1997 (a period
of five months), and the transition period ended as of June 30, 1998 (a
period of 9 months), comparisons to prior year's results may not provide
meaningful analysis.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 1998, as previously reported,
the Company effectively created two operating segments. The first segment,
representing the historical core business of the Company, is the sale at retail
and wholesale of office products, copier sales and service, and commercial
printing and copying services. This segment is referred to as the Office
Solutions segment. The second segment, referred to as the Merchant Banking
segment, consists principally of viatical settlements and to a lesser extent
specialty finance services, including copier and office equipment leasing,
accounts receivable financing and factoring. The Merchant Banking segment
effectively commenced operations during the second quarter of the prior year,
and thus there are no comparisons to the prior year for this segment.
The Company's Office Solutions segment continues to implement its
growth strategy through acquisitions. The strategy consists principally of
acquiring smaller office equipment dealers located within specified
geographic markets. Additionally, the Company anticipates acquiring other
entities in the future which may provide the Company with expanded, enhanced
or additional products, services or markets, but can provide no assurance
that such acquisitions will indeed provide such beneficial products, services
or markets. Management believes that the acquired entities with similar
products and services would benefit, after a reasonable assimilation period,
from the Company's centralized management, system of internal
15
control, additional financial resources, efficiencies associated with certain
economies of scale, and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance,
however, that such benefits will be realized. Management further believes
that adequate acquisition opportunities are available. The Company
anticipates that significant acquisitions would be funded principally from
issuance of authorized but unissued shares of the Company's common stock,
external financing sources, such as the Sirrom and Mercantile Bank Loan
Agreements and, to a lesser extent, from internally generated cash flow. The
Company's future success with acquisitions will depend upon the timing and
size of the acquisition, the ability to integrate the acquired company into
its operations with a minimum of integration costs, and the Company's ability
to grow its infrastructure to accommodate the continued growth.
ACQUISITIONS:
During the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998, the Office
Solutions segment completed four acquisitions, while the Merchant Banking
Segment completed one acquisition of a specialty financial services marketing
firm.
As more fully discussed in the Company's 10-K for fiscal year ended
June 30, 1998, the Office Solutions segment acquired the business of AMI Group,
Inc., a Washington D.C. based office equipment and copier dealer. The
acquisition was completed in August 1998 for a cash payment of $460,000 and
required the segment to assume additional liabilities of approximately $150,000.
Funds used to complete this acquisition were derived from the Sirrom loan
agreement. During the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998, this acquisition
provided approximately $964,000 of revenue and contributed approximately
$169,000 towards the segment's gross profit. Moreover, this acquisition provided
operating income before taxes and interest of approximately $127,000.
Additionally, as previously discussed in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for fiscal year-ended June 30, 1998, the segment acquired a 60 percent
interest in Barbera Business Systems, a Baltimore, Maryland based office
equipment and copier dealer. This acquisition contributed $1.2 million of gross
revenue during the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998. Additionally, Barbera
Business Systems contributed approximately $339,000 towards the segment's gross
profit and approximately $79,000 of operating income before interest and taxes.
During July, 1998, the segment acquired two separate businesses in the
metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Forbes Enterprises, Inc.,
("Forbes") and Keystone Digital Equipment, Inc. ("KDI"), are office equipment
and copier dealerships, as more fully described in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. To acquire Forbes, the Company
paid approximately $865,000 for approximately $250,000 of accounts receivable,
$335,000 of furniture and equipment, $302,000 of inventory, and $20,000 for a
covenant not to compete. The segment paid approximately $1,071,000 for
approximately $266,000 of accounts receivable, $40,000 in cash, $616,000 of
inventory, $234,000 of furniture and fixtures,
16
and $689,000 of goodwill to acquire the business of KDI. The Sirrom Loan
Agreement provided the funds to complete these transactions. During the quarter
ended as of September 30, 1998, these acquisitions provided approximately
$938,000 of revenue and contributed operating income of approximately $45,000,
before interest and taxes.
The Merchant Banking segment completed one acquisition during the
quarter. Effective July 1, 1998, as more fully discussed in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Merchant Banking
segment acquired certain assets of Ruttenberg and Associates, a Normal, Illinois
specialty financial services marketing group. The segment paid $78,000,
for the customer lists and certain fixed assets. The Sirrom Loan Agreement
provided the necessary funding for this acquisition.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
OFFICE SOLUTIONS SEGMENT
The Office Solutions segment accounted for approximately $5.6
million of gross revenue, or 28.4 percent of the consolidated gross revenue
for the quarter-ended as of September 30, 1998, as compared to gross revenue
of approximately $1.2 million, or 100 percent of the gross revenue for the
quarter-ended as of September 30, 1997. This 355 percent increase of gross
revenue over the comparable quarter of the prior year is due principally to
acquisitions occurring during the year and, to a lesser extent, same
store/location revenue increases.
The segment generated positive increases in its gross margin during
the quarter-ended as of September 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable
quarter of the prior year. The segment generated a gross margin of 17.9
percent during the quarter-ended as of September 30, 1998, as compared to a
gross margin of 12.1 percent for the comparable quarter of the prior year.
The principal reason for this positive improvement again relates to
acquisitions and the resultant product mix.
Although the segment experienced positive improvement in its gross
margin during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to the comparable
quarter of the prior year, the segment did experience significant growth of
its general and administrative expenses during the quarter-ended as of
September 30, 1998. The segment incurred general and administrative expense
in excess of $1.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, as compared
to $123,000 for the same period of the prior year. As a percent of gross
revenue, general and administrative expense represented 20.2 percent of gross
revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 as compared to 10.1 percent
for the first quarter of fiscal year 1998. This dramatic increase is
principally in response to acquisitions occurring during the period. The
acquisitions significantly increased occupancy and management expenses.
As acquisitions are assimilated into the segment's operations, it is
anticipated that these expenses will be
17
reduced or eliminated where duplication exists, but there can be no assurance
that such reductions in expense will indeed occur. Management has embarked on
a program to review and adjust supervisory and management level staffing to
bring overhead costs more in line with revenue growth and eliminate
duplication of efforts.
As previously discussed, management anticipates a certain level of
transformation and assimilation expenditures with each acquisition. Such
expenditures consist principally of incremental marketing efforts and training
costs to ensure that sales and service personnel operate at the highest level
of professionalism, competency, and in accordance with established segment
policy and procedures. Additionally, the segment incurs additional expenses
in the search for applicable acquisition candidates. Management believes that
as a percentage of revenue, these costs should begin to stabilize in future
periods but can provide no assurances in that regard.
In light of the sales increases and improvements within the
segment's gross margins during the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998, as
compared to the comparable quarter of the preceding year, the segment's
management remains committed to its strategic acquisition growth strategy.
Management is monitoring the segment's overhead, however, and continues to
adjust its strategy where necessary, but not without consideration for future
growth and allowance of sufficient time and resources to fully assimilate the
acquired company into the segment's operations.
MERCHANT BANKING SEGMENT
As previously stated, the Merchant Banking segment did not
effectively commence operations until October, 1997. Thus, there is no
comparison to the prior year's comparable quarter. The Merchant Banking
segment accounted for $14.1 million of the Company's consolidated gross
revenue, or 71.6 percent for the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998,
after subtracting direct costs of revenue in excess of $10.3 million during
the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Thus, the segment generated a gross profit
of $3.76 million, or a gross margin of 26.7 percent. The segment was able to
maintain a higher-than-expected margin during the quarter ended as of
September 30, 1998 as a result of higher-than-expected margins associated
with the product mix, wherein the segment's viaticated life insurance
policies where more heavily weighted to longer viatication terms than
previously. Moreover, selling and general and administrative expense for the
quarter amounted to $942,000, or 6.7% of sales, which is comparable to the
preceding quarter. General and administrative expense during the quarter
increased, however, due to increased professional fees associated with the
Company's financial statement audit and year-end reporting.
The Merchant Banking segment derives its revenue and associated
costs from financing activities principally from viatical settlements and, to
a lesser extent, from the
18
financing of office equipment and factoring of accounts receivable. It is
anticipated that this component of the Company will continue to expand in the
foreseeable future, but there can be no assurance in that regard. The profit
margin for this segment, within a relevant range, generally varies by the
expected term of viatication. As the viatication period lengthens, the profit
margins and associated risk of capital fluctuation increase. These
viatication periods are considered to be the product mix.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
OFFICE SOLUTIONS SEGMENT
Total assets for the Office Solutions segment increased to $15.2
million as of September 30, 1998, as compared to $1 million for the period
ended as of September 30, 1997. This dramatic increase is principally the
result of acquisitions. The Company's aggressive strategic
growth-through-acquisitions plan may, however, cause a short term distortion
of certain balance sheet accounts and resultant financial ratios. Management
monitors this affect and has charted a course of action to mitigate this
negative impact without over reaction such that unintended results are not
achieved.
During the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998, the Office
Solutions segment produced a current ratio of approximately 2:1, as compared
to 4:1 for the comparable period of the prior year. The segment's accounts
receivable provided a significant contribution to this negative trend.
Accounts receivable increased from $393,000 in the comparable quarter of the
prior year to $3.6 million as of September 30, 1998. A product of this
significant increase, which again is principally due to acquisitions, is that
days sales in accounts receivable increased from approximately 30 days for
the quarter-ended September 30, 1997, to 59 days for the quarter-ended as of
September 30, 1998. Additionally, again in response to acquisitions,
inventory also significantly increased, rising to a level of 55 days of
inventory in sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 35
days for the comparable quarter in the preceding year. Management anticipates
that as it continues to integrate acquired business entities into the
Company's operation, duplication and excesses should gradually deminish and
subsequently level off, but can provide no assurance in that regard.
Property and equipment also significantly increased from $34,000 at
September 30, 1997 to approximately $2.5 million as of September 30, 1998.
Acquisitions were the principal reason for this dramatic increase. The segment,
as previously reported, has incurred significant expense to implement and
improve its infrastructure and financial management computer systems. These
expenditures are anticipated to continue.
Corresponding to the increases in accounts receivable and inventory,
current liabilities also significantly increased during the current quarter.
Accounts payable
19
increased to approximately $900,000 for the quarter ended as of September 30,
1998, up from approximately $160,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior
year. Current maturities of long term debt likewise significantly increased.
These increases are principally in response to acquisitions.
In response to acquisitions long term assets for the Office
Solutions segment, consisting principally of goodwill and intangible assets,
also showed significant growth.
Long term debt, as previously reported, increased significantly in
response to the funding of acquisitions. Moreover, as previously reported, the
Company entered into several loan agreements which are being utilized
principally to fund acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, working capital.
During the quarter-ended as of September 30, 1998 the segment
produced negative cash flow, as compared to positive cash flow of
approximately $18 thousand for the comparable quarter of the preceding year.
The negative cash flow is principally in response to the segment's operating
loss and the change in current assets as compared to the change in current
liabilities for the quarter, as discussed above.
MERCHANT BANKING SEGMENT
As previously discussed, this segment did not commence operations
until October of 1997. Thus, there is no comparison to the prior year
comparable quarter. For the quarter ended as of September 30, 1998, the
Merchant Banking segment had total assets of approximately $5.5 million.
However, total assets did decline at September 30, 1998 as compared to the
preceding quarter. This decline relates principally to the previously
reported viatical settlements which occurred during the last day of the
preceding quarter but were not settled until the reporting quarter.
Additionally, escrowed cash, with its corresponding current liability,
decreased at September 30, 1998 as compared to the prior quarter balance.
YEAR 2000 STATEMENT
The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs using a
two-digit year, such that the computer system may interpret the year 2000 as
1900. Should this occur, a system-wide failure of computer systems would be
eminent and could lead to company-wide disruptions. The cost of such
company-wide disruptions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.
As previously reported, the Company has implemented its three phase
plan to address its Y2K issue and has principally completed both phase 1 and 2
of its plan. A number of applications have been identified as either Y2K
compliant or that the third party vendor has provided the Company with assurance
that the application will be Y2K compliant.
20
Management does not anticipate significant additional expense in future
periods associated with any known Y2K issue.
