Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
Prior to fiscal 1987, the Company was engaged in the camera and
photography business. On February 28,1986, the Company sold its operating
business to an affiliated company and since that date the Company's principal
activity has been the making of investments in other companies
At November 30, 2003, the Company had total assets of $2,670,000 compared
to total assets of $1,333,000 at February 28, 2003. Included in total assets
were investments of $2,650,000 at November 30, 2003 and $1,318,000 at February
28, 2003. The increase in investments is due to an increase in the value of the
Company's investment in Genitope Corporation. Shareholders deficiency was
($42,000) at November 30, 2003 and ($1,163,000) at February 28, 2003. Operating
expenses, including interest charges, amounted to $89,000 for the three months
ended November 30, 2003 and $98,000 for the three months ended November 30,
2002. Operating expenses, including interest charges, amounted to $252,000 for
the nine months ended November 30, 2003 compared to $258,000 for the nine months
ended November 30, 2002. Income from operations was $1,243,000 for the
three-month period ended November 30, 2003 compared to a loss of ($1,390,000)
for the three-month period ended November 30, 2002. Income from operations was
$1,121,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2003 compared to a loss of
($268,000) for the nine months ended November 30, 2002. Net income per share was
$0.53 for the three months ended November 30, 2003 compared to a net loss per
share of ($0.06) for the three months ended November 30, 2002. Net income per
share was $0.48 for the nine months ended November 30, 2003 compared to a net
loss per share of ($0.11) at November 30, 2002. The weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at November 30, 2003 is 2,335,757 and is
2,347,257 at November 30, 2002.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters Affecting Financial Condition
The near term liquidity of the Company, as well as its near terms capital
resources position, are presently dependent upon the continued willingness, as
to which there can be. no assurance whatsoever, of the members of the Globus
family who have made loans to the Company not to demand full or substantially
full repayment of such loans and to continue to make loans to the Company, if
necessary. Thus, loans payable, including accrued interest, to Mr. Stephen F.
Globus (his individual account) amounted to $218,000 at November 30, 2003, an
increase of $1,000 from $217,000 at February 28, 2003. This increase is due to
an increase in accrued interest of approximately $1,000. Loans payable,
including accrued interest, to Mr. Richard D. Globus (his individual account)
remained the same at $1,000 at November 30, 2003 and February 28, 2003. Loans
payable to Messrs. Stephen F. and Richard D. Globus (a separate joint account),
including accrued interest, amounted to $245,000 at November 30, 2003, an
increase of $7,000 from $238,000 at February 28, 2003. This increase is due to
an increase in accrued interest of approximately $7,000. At November 30, 2003,
loans payable, including accrued interest, to another member of the Globus
family, Ms. Jane Globus (the mother of Stephen F. and Richard D. Globus),
amounted to approximately $686,000, an increase of $167,000 from $719,000 at
February 28, 2003. This increase was due to an increase of $151,000 in
additional loans used for operating expenses and an increase of $16,000 in
accrued interest. At November 30, 2003, unpaid salary owing to Mr. Stephen F.
Globus was $766,000, and unpaid salary owing to Mr. Richard D. Globus and his
designee was $735,000; so that at such date the total of monies owed to Messrs.
Stephen F. Globus, Richard D. Globus and Ms Jane Globus aggregated approximately
$2,651,000.
On October 30, 2003, Genitope Corporation completed its public offering opening
at $9.00 per share. The 420,858 shares of Genitope Corporation Series A
Preferred and 332,992 shares of Series B Preferred converted into 251,283 common
public shares of Genitope Corporation. The bid price per share on
November 28, 2003, the last trading day of the quarter, was $12.25. The
management of Globus Growth Group has determined that a twenty percent discount
from the quoted market price of Genitope is appropriate considering the lockup
provision of the Company's holdings. Globus Growth Group's holdings in Genitope
is under a six month IPO lockup, which expires on April 27, 2004. Management
believes that only after its lock-up terms has expired, that its chief holding,
Genitope, will be liquid for equity sales. Until that occurs, the Globus family
will continue to bridge the capital and liquidity requirements through
additional short-term loans. Samuel T. Globus and Dorothy S. Globus, the adult
children of Stephen F. Globus, own 22,617 and 22,222 shares, respectively, of
Genitope Corporation, which was purchased from Genitope's private offering
finalized in June of 2003.
The present liquidity and capital resources position of the Company necessarily
adversely affects the financial condition of the Company and its ability to make
new investments. In such connection it must be noted that: the profitability of
a BDC, like the Company, is largely dependent upon its ability to make
investments and upon increases in the value of its investments; and a BDC is
also subject to a number of risks which are not generally present in an
operating company, and which are discussed generally in Item 1 of the Company's
10K Report for its fiscal year ended February 28, 2003 to which Item reference
is hereby made. Reference is also made to Item 1 and Item 7 of such Report and
to the Financial Statements and note contained in such Report for information
concerning the Company's investments and its financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of January 14, 2004, an evaluation was performed under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of January 14, 2004. There have been
no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to January 14,
2004.
