NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
JUNE 30, 2001
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements included in the Form 10-QSB have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation SB. The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally contained in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's year ended certified financial statements. The results of operations for the six months are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year. The Company presumes that users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
2. Subsequent Events
In August we received a commitment from North Coast Investment, Inc., to provide us with $550,000 in short-term financing. The commitment provides that the note will bear an interest rate of 10% and have a balloon payment in eight months.
In July 2001, Pacel Acquisitions Corp. a wholly owned subsidiary entered into a letter of intent to purchase the stock of Advantage Systems, Inc., a computer manufacture. Under the letter of intent, Pacel Acquisitions Corp. will pay $70,000 and assume $450,000 in debt. As part of this transaction, Pacel Acquisition Corp. intends to issue a $1,000,000 note, convertible into stock of Pacel Acquisition Corp. The note bears an interest rate of 8%. The proceeds from this note are designated only for the expenses related to the acquisition of Advantage Systems, Inc., and working capital for Fairfax Communications Limited (FCL) and Advantage Systems. We believe that the purchase of this company will give FCL the ability to sell our hardware rather than Gateway's or Dell's, to NATO. In doing so we expect to be able to increase our margins. This company will also allow Pacel to use Advantage Systems' established customer base for the distribution of its software products.
When used in this document and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases or other public or shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "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. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results and those we presently anticipate or project. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Various factors could affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements we express with respect to future periods in any current statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: increases in our operating expenses outpacing our revenues; our inability to expand our sales and distribution channels; the failure of strategic relationships to implement and promote our software products; the failure of third parties to develop software components necessary for the integration of applications using our software; and the use of our intellectual property by others.
We do not undertake--and we specifically decline any obligation--to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General Business
PACEL's mission is to provide consumers and businesses with a full suite of products and services that provide secure connectivity to and from the Internet, including e-commerce transactions and personnel and company data security. To that end, PACEL, and its subsidiaries, Fairfax Communications and E-Business Store.Com, have been developing products and methods that meet that need for both families and companies. The ChildWatch software suite of programs puts the controls for family computer usage, including internet filtering, access controls and community support for finding missing and abducted children in the hands of the parents and is readily available at Zany Brany and Electronic Boutique stores nationally. "e-Centurion" our latest technology advancement (patent pending) software product will provide complete file and data security. This new software is designed to guard both the Inner Door (full protection on your PC from existing and new viruses), i.e., the Love Bug, and someone trying to penetrate your PC and by-pass your password. As well as, the Outer Door (full intruder protection from Internet data collection devices and programs or hackers). Our current goal is to utilize and extend these technologies in the production of derivative products to provide secure Internet connectivity and enhanced desktop security for customers in the home and business marketplaces.
Results of Operations
The following summarizes the basic results of operations for the periods indicated in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, sales were $429,088 compared to $115,957 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $313,131 or 370%. The increase in revenues is directly attributed to the sales generated from existing NATO contracts of Fairfax Communication Limited (FCL) and from E-Business Store's increased business in consulting and web development. The Company intends to continue to focus its efforts on the marketing of Child Watch software and e-Centurion anti-virus software. We believe that marketing delays have prevented Child Watch and e-Centurion from penetrating their respective markets. Accordingly only limited revenues from the Child Watch and e-Centurion software have been realized to date. The Company's' marketing delays stem from the inability to obtain adequate financing through the end of the second quarter, and we do not expect to see any significant revenue from these products until adequate financing is available to market these products.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, direct cost of goods sold were $299,107 compared to $108,004 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $191,103 or 276%. The increase in direct cost of goods sold is directly attributed to the sales generated from the NATO contracts discussed above. FCL is selling computer hardware items through Dell and Gateway. The mark up for computer hardware is typically greater in Great Britain than in the United States. Secondly, E-Business Store is actively controlling the costs of jobs on their web design and development orders.
Research and development expenses consist principally of salaries for software developers, outside consulting, and related facilities costs for software development. Research and Development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were $219,285 compared to $765,575 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 a decrease of $546,290 or 71%. The decrease is directly attributable to being in the final phase of ChildWatch and e-Centurion software development. We believe, however, that investments in research and development, including the recruiting and hiring of software developers, are critical to remaining competitive in the marketplace and are directly related to continued timely development of new and enhanced products. Accordingly, we anticipate making continuing investments in the development of our application software products, including those targeted for the growing Internet market, as funds permit.
Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions, travel expenses, and marketing expenses for our sales, marketing, customer support, and distribution consultants. Sales and marketing expenses also includes advertising, trade shows, public relations, and other market development programs. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were $68,091 compared to $218,505 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 a decrease of $150,414 or, 69%. The decrease sales and marketing expense is due to the lack of funds available in the second quarter of 2001.
General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and benefits, travel expenses, and related facilities costs for finance and administration, human resources, legal, and information services. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $981,268 compared to $489,339 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $491,929 or 200%. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to increased expenses for outside legal and investment banking services related to the Company's efforts to obtain continuing sources of financing and its ongoing reporting obligations as a public reporting company. Increased employee costs related with increased staffing have also contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense and financing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $106,634 compared to $46,103 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $60,531 or 230%. We entered in various convertible notes, these notes contained a "beneficial conversion feature." According to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Number 98-5, entitled "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", this beneficial conversion feature was assigned an intrinsic value of $81,100, as calculated under the provision of the EITF. This amount was immediately expensed, as the Notes were convertible into common shares of Pacel at the time of their execution. The remaining interest of $25,634 is accrued interest on the Convertible Notes and interest paid on the $50,000 with the line of credit.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2000.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, sales were $226,267 compared to $57,969 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $168,298 or 390%. The increase in revenues is directly attributed to the sales generated from existing NATO contracts of FCL and from E-Business Store's increased business in consulting and web development.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, direct cost of goods sold were $122,205 compared to $52,043 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $70,162 or 135%. The increase in direct cost of goods sold is directly attributed to the sales generated from the NATO contracts discussed above.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2001, were $104,010 compared to $469,911 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 a decrease of $365,901 or 78%. The decrease is directly attributable to being in the final phase of ChildWatch and e-Centurion software development. Development of new products has been delayed due to lack of funding. We believe, however, that investments in research and development, including the recruiting and hiring of software developers, are critical to remaining competitive in the marketplace.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2001, were $17,750 compared to $197,137 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 a decrease of $179,387 or, 91%. The decrease in sales and marketing expense is due directly to a lack of funds available in the second quarter of 2001.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $595,228 compared to $275,066 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $320,162 or 186%. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to increased expenses for outside legal and investment banking services related to the company's efforts to obtain continuing sources of financing and its ongoing reporting obligations as a public reporting company, as well as increased employee costs related with increased staffing.
Interest expense and Financing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were $87,286 compared to $9,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and increase of $77,505 or 892%. We have entered in various convertible notes that contain a "beneficial conversion feature." According to the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Number 98-5, entitled "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", this beneficial conversion feature was assigned an intrinsic value of $81,000, as calculated under the provision of the EITF. This amount was immediately expensed, as the Notes were convertible into common shares of the Company at the time of their execution. The remaining interest of $6,286 is accrued interest on the Convertible Notes and interest paid on the $50,000 line of credit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AS OF JUNE 30, 2001
In February 2001, we secured a $50,000 line of credit with a bank, at an interest rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, plus 1.00% to be renewed annually. At June 30, 2001 the entire line was outstanding.
In March 2001, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 Equity line of Credit arrangement with Cornell Capital Ltd. Under the terms of the equity line agreement, the Company had the right to sell up to $10 million of its common stock. We could only access the equity line of credit upon the effectiveness of the registration statement we filed with the SEC. In July 2001 we withdrew our registration filing and in doing so our agreements with Cornell Capital Ltd were terminated.
In March 2001 and May 2001 we issued $250,000 and $500,000 respectively, convertible debentures. The notes bear an interest rate of 5% and 8%, respectively and are payable quarterly.
In August we received a commitment from North Coast Investment, Inc., to provide us with $550,000 in short-term financing. The commitment provides that the note will bear an interest rate of 10% and have a balloon payment in eight months.
Due to lack of funding and withdrawal of the registration statement we began to lay off all nonessential personnel. We are in the process of renegotiating our current office leases to reduce office space. We are also evaluating all expenses and making the necessary cutbacks. We believe that with this reduction in expenses, the balloon note and sales we will have sufficient working capital through the end of the year. Our ability to continue as a going concern beyond December 2001 is dependent upon being able to successfully secure long term financing either through the issuance of debt or equity.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $1,867 for the period ended June 30, 2001 from $36,356 at December 31, 2000. Trade accounts receivable increased to $131,570 for the period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $9,883 at December 31, 2000. Other receivables decreased to $60,003 for the period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $64,760 at December 31, 2000. Accounts payable increased to $757,630 for the period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $491,926 at December 31, 2000. Net cash used for operating activities was $651,310 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $1,861,564 in the corresponding period of 2000. Net cash used for operating activities primarily reflect the increase in account receivable, and other receivables offset by accounts payable and loans to officers.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $3,882 and $81,656 respectively. The outlay reflects the continual investment in computer related equipment for further development efforts.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $619,791 and $2,094,545, respectively. The funds were raised primarily through the issuance of convertible debentures in the period ended June 30, 2001. The funds raised for the period ended June 30, 2000 were raised in conjunction with the filing of an SB-2 registration statement to raise $3,000,000.
