PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

THE COMPANY

 

We provide total information technology solutions primarily to the hospitality, resort and destination industry.  The solutions provided by us typically include applications software, computer hardware, peripherals and wide and local area network design, implementation, installation and support.  The software applications are generally our proprietary software, or software which is licensed to us on an exclusive basis.  The hardware, peripherals and networking systems are generally third-party products, which we distribute.  Directly and through arrangements with third parties, we provide on-site and off-site service and support to users of our solutions. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 6, 1984.  Our name was changed from MAI Basic Four, Inc. to MAI Systems Corporation on November 6, 1990.  We commenced operations on January 29, 1985.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Our mission is to put in place long-term information technology systems for our customers by designing, installing and supporting industry-specific total information management solutions.  Focusing on the hotel, motel, government and resort destinations industry, we design, sell, install and support enterprise information management solutions.  We provide a wide array of products and services to our installed base of customers and continue to make direct sales of certain products and services which enhance, upgrade and extend the useful life and functionality of our installed systems.

 

We market our products and services primarily through a team selling approach, which utilizes our nationwide network of sales offices.  This approach involves a coordinated effort between our field sales personnel, and our corporate office software development, marketing, contract administration and financial staff.  All of our products and services are also available through a limited number of distributors, independent value-added resellers (“VARs”), authorized service representatives and independent software vendors (“ISVs”).

 

Our activities are conducted principally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mexico.  We also operate offices in the People’s Republic of China in Beijing and Shanghai.

 

We provide software support services (both procedural and technical support) to our hospitality customers from our offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong.  In some countries, we rely on certain foreign distributors of our products to provide software support services to customers located within the distributors’ territories.

 

Products and Services

 

We provide complete enterprise products and services to serve the needs of local and multinational chains, franchisees and independent operators of hotels, resorts and destination properties. Our products have been installed in over 4,100 properties, throughout 84 countries, and in properties up to 5,000 rooms from limited service and business hotels to convention centers and five star luxury resorts or urban luxury hotels.

 

Our HIS epitomeÔ solutions, including our established products (epitome for windows, formerly LodgingTouch, epitome for Unix, formerly CLS and epitome for i-series, formerly Paragon), which represented all of our revenue during the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, as well as our new internet native suite of products written in java (epitomeÔ Enterprise) which are currently under development and not yet available for general release, enables hospitality enterprises to increase revenue, improve guest loyalty and reduce costs by centralizing and streamlining their operations while maximizing existing technology investments. A majority of our historical revenue relates to our property management systems applications associated with our established products.  Our new internet native corporate application suite is a component-based architecture.  The epitomeÔ Enterprise suite includes software, services and integration for Business Intelligence, Corporate Information, Channel Reservation, Channel Management and Property Management systems. The products are deployable on multiple platforms using intelligent transport and messaging technology.

 

Our epitomeÔ Enterprise services include systems integration, consulting, project management, implementation, training, documentation, online help, long-term support, maintenance and specialized engineering, with particular expertise in the implementation of local and wide-area networks for the hospitality industry.

 

Summarized below are the features of epitomeä Enterprise which is scheduled for general release in Q3 of 2004.

 

The epitome Strategic Analysis Tools

 

Our epitome multidimensional Business Intelligence (“BI”) provides a suite of sophisticated Multidimensional Online

 

2



 

Analytical Processing (“MOLAP”) tools for strategic analysis and planning for the entire enterprise. Not only can hoteliers analyze and report on data consolidated from multiple sources, they can perform complex modeling against industry standard Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”), including Revenue Per Available Room (“RevPAR”) and Revenue Per Available Customer (“RevPAC”). These tools include a relational data warehouse, subject-specific data marts, MOLAP tools and a library of standard analyses and reports. This combination results in a system that provides executives with “just-in-time” strategic intelligence to analyze operations and grow market share, revenue and occupancy.

 

The epitome Corporate Management Tools

 

Our epitome Central Information Systems (“CIS”) provides essential information and management tools to centralize operations at a corporate headquarters. With the increasing number of mergers, acquisitions and individual properties desiring to associate with an established chain or flag, centralizing the data for consolidated marketing, accounting and reporting tasks have become popular cost-savings tools. Additionally, hotel guests now expect their preferences and history to be available at local properties, corporate locations and online. To accomplish this, corporate systems must capture and share all guest information to provide quality service during the reservation process as well as comprehensive marketing and financial information to facilitate corporate marketing and finance strategies. Our HIS corporate tools consolidate information about each guest such as identity, spending patterns, preferred accommodations, amenity requests, billing details, commission accumulations and more.

 

Specialized functionality of the CIS includes centralized travel agency production statistics and transaction payments, more accurate and effective corporate Accounts Receivable invoicing and collections, and consistent guest spending patterns to better facilitate corporate affinity programs and more.

 

The epitome Reservation and Channel Management Tools

 

Our epitome Central Reservation Systems (“CRS”) provides chains and management companies with the functionality required to process reservations and availability from a centralized location. Over time, CRS products have evolved to provide the same features and functions as reservation modules in Property Management Systems. However, a CRS must be more efficient at guest preference requirements, multiple property itineraries, history retrievals, travel agent processing and general corporate billing and transaction processing. These products are perfectly suited for small and medium reservation call centers.

 

Hoteliers are reducing the cost of guest acquisition and improving guest loyalty through branded Internet booking engines. However, we understand that the explosion of Internet channels and travel procurement software has been difficult for hoteliers to manage effectively. Our epitome Channel Reservation and Channel Management Tools deliver more benefits than a simple branded booking engine or any one wholesale reservation portal. It allows hoteliers the tools to manage their rates, availability and guests through all their channels of distribution. The goal and foundation of the design are to provide a more cost-effective and efficient tool for the properties using the epitome enterprise suite of applications.

 

It also provides guests with the ability to search multiple (related) properties, to check availability of rooms and to maintain reservations for rooms, and allows the property the ability to use room allocation features already in the epitome PMS, to modify or customize its web reservations screens and to reduce transaction fees of costly intermediaries.

 

The epitome Property Management Tools

 

Our epitome Property Management Systems (“PMS”) provide a complete solution for the management of rates, availability and affinity programs for single and multi-property enterprises. These tools are specifically designed and optimized for comprehensive guest management, including modules for web and central reservations, room and revenue management and group and wholesaler management.

 

Specialized functionality offers flexible guest-focused features including guest service notification, availability and occupancy controls for long-term stay and gender-specific environments, sophisticated revenue and taxation capabilities, casino accounting and condominium management. Multi-property integration of availability, itinerary reservations and guest accounting is also available. Additional tools include modules for report writing, emulation, data extraction and transfer and more.

 

The epitome Integration and Data Exchange Tools

 

The HIS epitome Interfaces and Integrations provide multiple levels of data exchange and application integration, from simple send and receive interfaces to intelligent business application integration. The high-level of integration available between the HIS PMS, CRS, CIS and BI enables chains and management companies to deploy an enterprise solution with ‘customizable’ functionality at each location, while consolidating critical controls, statistics and revenue analysis. Our HIS epitome Enterprise Solutions includes a library of over 400 device-type interfaces. Some examples include Call Accounting,

 

3



 

Energy Management, In-room Facsimile, In-room Internet, Mini Bar, Point Of Sale, Telephone Management, Video Services and Voice Mail.

 

We also specialize in application-type integrations, which are typically more complex than device-type interfaces, requiring additional management and auditing of the data exchange. It often includes the exchange of guest and group information, availability, contractual room rates and more. Each product also adds complexity, as the platform, data and method of communication vary from product to product. It is very rare that any of these elements are similar to the platform, database and method of communication in the core business applications.

 

Our integration solutions offer integration of the core business applications (PMS, CRS and CIS) with other disparate business applications (Sales, Catering, Revenue Management and more). It allows for standardized communication processes, configuration controls and audit trails. The data mapping is accomplished through a series of application-specific and common industry Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”). All communication and data exchange are actually handled through a central integration product, providing our core business applications and the third party products with a common ground for data exchange and consolidation.

 

From property transactions to corporate intelligence our HIS epitome Enterprise Solutions provides complete products and services for every level of the enterprise. With different platforms, applications, deployment methods and database management technologies, hoteliers can implement the ‘epitome of technology’ for their enterprise.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We market our products and services primarily through a team-selling approach, which utilizes our worldwide network of sales offices and our Irvine, California-based account representatives.  We also market certain products and services through limited numbers of distributors, authorized service representatives and ISVs.

 

In the United States, our systems are marketed by a direct sales and marketing organization which included, 13 sales and marketing personnel located in the corporate headquarters and satellite offices.  In addition, we market our systems internationally through our subsidiaries which operate in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, and through various distributors that are exclusive in their jurisdictions.  Our international subsidiaries employed 19 sales and marketing personnel who are engaged in the marketing of MAI products from sales offices in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and the People’s Republic of China.

Our financial performance is affected by the fluctuation in value of the US dollar in relation to the local currencies of the countries in which we do business.  In addition, our foreign operations are subject to the usual risks that may affect such operations, including possible expropriation or other governmental actions, taxes and political changes.  However, as only 20.0% of our 2003 revenue was generated outside the United States, the risk associated with these foreign operations in relation to our overall financial performance is limited.

 

Support and Maintenance

 

The provision of around-the-clock customer service is a cornerstone of our business. As of December 31, 2003, we had support and maintenance agreements with approximately 1,501 customers.  We employ approximately 68 technicians to provide support for our applications software products.

 

Telephonic support, which is primarily to assist licensees of our applications products, is provided from our response centers located in Irvine, California, Concord, California, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the United Kingdom.  We utilize current developments in telephony and call center technology to enable our support technicians to quickly identify and resolve customers’ software related computing problems.

 

Our maintenance services are generally provided pursuant to individual maintenance contracts with customers, although time and material services are provided in some areas.  Such support and maintenance are of varying duration, provide

 

4



 

prospective cancellation rights and require advance payment of fees to us.  Substantially all of the revenue earned by maintenance operations is invoiced to customers in advance and recognized evenly over the related contract period.

 

Production and Procurement

 

In response to market demand for standardized hardware and software products, all of our current systems offerings utilize open systems architecture, which means that they will operate on a wide variety of third-party hardware equipment.  At present, we have relationships with a number of suppliers including Microsoft, Cognos, BEA, Compaq Computer, Data General, Hewlett Packard, Seagull Software, Visual Legacy, IBM, Southern Datacom and distributors such as MicroAge and Ingram Micro.  Management believes that these relationships have enabled us to reduce product costs, permit earlier availability of new technology and offer customers products with superior performance at competitive prices.  We no longer manufacture proprietary hardware products.

 

Delay or failure in the delivery of products or components purchased from third parties could adversely affect our shipments and our ability to conclude sales.  We have purchased many products and components from single sources of supply.  Because our current products are industry standard, or are comprised of industry-standard components, management believes that alternative sources of supply of similar products would be available to us in the event of any interruption of delivery of a single source supplier.

 

Order, Shipment and Backlog

 

We record and enter into backlog a purchase order for equipment and software when we receives a customer’s written order requesting delivery within twelve months, and systems configuration and contract provisions are verified.  Orders that are canceled by the customer and orders that are not shipped within one year are removed from backlog.  Orders that are removed from backlog for non-shipment are restored if they are reinstated by the customer.

Research and Development

 

Our research and development activities are focused on the development of products for the hospitality, resort and destination industry.

 

As of December 31, 2003, we employed 45 engineers, programmers and other technical personnel in research and development activities.  We also utilized external third party resources for development.  During 2001, 2002, and 2003, we incurred $4,209,000, $3,307,000 (net of capitalized software of $861,000) and $2,828,000 (net of capitalized software of $896,000) respectively, for research and development activities.  Our research and development expenditures related to the support and extension of existing software products and the development of new products.

 

Customers

 

Our customers in hospitality are both chain and independent hotels and resorts.  During 2001, 2002 and 2003, Joint Armed Services (JAS) was the only customer accounting for ten percent or more of our revenues.  Total revenue from JAS for 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $2,937,000, $2,880,000 and $3,535,000 respectively.

 

Competition

 

Competition is vigorous in all sectors of the worldwide market for computer-based applications systems, networked solutions and the maintenance and support of the software and hardware, which comprise those systems.  We have numerous competitors (and potential competitors) varying widely in their size, capabilities, market segment and geographic area, most of which are larger and have financial resources far greater than ours.

 

Within our targeted application markets, we have positioned ourselves to sell complete enterprise solutions to our

 

5



 

customers.  Within this marketplace, competition comes primarily from vendors of competing information technology in the markets in which we compete.  There are several providers of information technology to the hotel, resort and destination industry against which we regularly compete.  We have several primary competitors, which are substantially larger than us, and provide application software that is similar to ours in quality but have the ability to aggressively compete on price.

 

Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses

 

We are the owner or licensee of certain trademarks, copyrights and other property rights associated with our businesses, including rights associated with our proprietary application software.  We own or have licensing rights, generally with terms of three years, to the principal application software products marketed by us.  Such licensing rights are generally renewable.  Although there is some risk that independent vendors who own such products may elect not to renew their licensing agreements with us and enter into exclusive arrangements with, or elect to install their software on systems sold by competitors of ours, such vendors generally tend to continue to support our marketing efforts so long as our systems provide a good opportunity for them to market their products.   These independent vendors do not represent a significant part of our revenues.

 

We are party to license agreements with IBM relating to a variety of patents, with Novell, Inc. relating to UNIX and with a number of other suppliers of software products.  These licenses are terminable at our option and certain of the licenses require us to make royalty payments.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2003, we had 198 employees, of which 121 were employed in the United States, 11 in the United Kingdom, 65 in Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and the People’s Republic of China) and 1 in Mexico.  We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained herein.  In addition to the factors set forth herein, there may be other factors, or factors that arise in the future which may affect our future performance.

 

Effects of Terrorism, War in Iraq and Other Events

 

Our operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 were negatively affected by continuing threat of worldwide terrorism, war in Iraq and other world events such as the outbreak of SARS in Asia.  Weakness in the hospitality and tourism industries as a result of terrorist attacks and armed conflicts arising there from have caused the Company to experience cancellations, delays and reductions in certain purchases by its hospitality customers. There can be no guarantee that this slow-down will be only short-term. Many of our hospitality customers experienced severe declines in occupancy and room rates at most of their hotels in the weeks following the attacks.  We are operating our business under the assumption that the weakness in the hospitality industry will be medium-term.  It is not possible, however, to predict the magnitude or duration of the declines or the potential impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow, if the existing political and economic risks continue unabated, or if there is future major terrorist activity.

 

We Have Settled Litigation and Issued A Substantial Number of Shares to a Shareholder Who May Be Able to Exercise Significant Influence

 

In February 2001 we settled certain litigation which required that we issue and register with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a substantial number of shares to an existing shareholder, CSA Private Limited (“CSA”). CSA received these shares pursuant to our acquisition of our Hotel Information Systems subsidiary as described under “Legal Proceedings – CSA Private Limited versus MAI Systems Corporation.”  Based upon this settlement, CSA has become our largest shareholder and beneficially owns approximately 16.4% of our Common Stock.  If this shareholder decides not sell its shares of Common Stock or sells the shares in a block to a third party, either this shareholder or the party or parties it sells to in any “block” sale may be able to exert significant influence over our affairs because they have approximately 16.4% of the voting control on any matter that may be submitted for a shareholder vote.  This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could have a material and adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

6



 

The Price of Our Common Stock May Decline Due to Sales by Certain Shareholders

 

Approximately 40% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock is held by five shareholders which includes CSA.  Sales by these shareholders of a part or substantially all of their shares of our Common Stock in the market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our Common Stock to drop.

 

At March 24, 2004, we had 14,857,752 shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Approximately 49% of our outstanding shares are freely tradable, The remaining shares are either held by “affiliates,” as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or are “restricted securities” under such rule.  In such cases, shares may be sold pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or to the extent permitted by Rule 144 or another exemption under the Securities Act.

 

Our Agreements with our Primary Lender and Two Other Substantial Creditors Require Substantial On-Going Payments

 

We have agreements with Wamco 31, Ltd. (“Wamco”), previously Coast Business Credit (“Coast”) whose loan was sold to Wamco on May 15, 2003, and two other creditors that require substantial on-going payments and affect the availability of our cash flow to be used for other material company operations.  On January 13, 2003, we restructured our debt with Wamco and Canyon.  We are currently in negotiations with CSA to restructure the term of the subordinated note.  Currently, these obligations are follows:

 

                  A balance due to Wamco of approximately $1,366,000 under a term loan with a current monthly principal and interest payment obligation of approximately $58,000, maturing in February 28, 2005;

 

                  A balance due under our 11% subordinated notes payable to an investment fund managed by Canyon Capital Management LP (“Canyon”) of approximately $5,661,000, with a current monthly interest payment obligation of $52,000;

 

                  A balance due under a 10% secured promissory note due to CSA in the amount of $2,800,000, with monthly payments of $37,500 that commenced on March 1, 2002 and ended on September 1, 2002, and monthly payments of $107,500 that commenced on October 1, 2002 and ended on October 1, 2003 when all remaining unpaid principal and interest were due.

 

As of December 31, 2003 we were current on our payment obligations to Wamco and Canyon.  In connection with the restructuring of the Wamco and Canyon debt, the covenants were revised and was effective commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2003.  We are currently not in compliance with but received waivers for these covenants through December 31, 2004.  We are currently in default with our payment obligations to CSA and have not made any payments since September 2002.  Under the terms of the subordination agreement between Wamco, Canyon and CSA, we are not allowed to make any principal or interest payments to CSA until the Wamco and Canyon debt, including any accrued interest, is repaid in full or the CSA debt is restructured and approved by Wamco and Canyon.  There can be no assurance that CSA and MAI will come to terms on a restructuring or that Wamco and Canyon will ultimately approve the terms of the restructuring.  In the event that we are unable to meet the required payments to our primary lenders or meet our payment obligations to our other secured creditors, they are entitled to exercise certain rights under the respective agreements we have with them, including but not limited to, foreclosing on all of our tangible and intangible assets.  Such action would have a substantial adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our Limited Period of Profitability May Not Continue

 

Although we were profitable for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2003, we incurred net losses for the year ending December 31, 2002 as well as net losses on an annual basis for the four fiscal years previous to 2000.  We cannot assure you that we will attain profitability on a consistent basis or avoid losses on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

 

Our Operating Results In One or More Future Periods Are Likely to Fluctuate Significantly and May Negatively Impact Our Stock Price

 

Our annual and quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of numerous factors, including:

 

      Market demand for information technology in the hospitality industry in general;

      Completion of development, launch and market success and acceptance of our software solutions;

      Price, performance, quality and other characteristics of the Company’s products and of competing and substitute products rumored, announced or introduced by other vendors;

      Emergence of any competing solutions as industry standards;

 

7



 

      Success of the Company in meeting targeted availability dates for new and enhanced products;

      Success of the Company’s efforts to provide and maintain customer service and satisfaction;

      Public perception of the Company and its products, including statements made by industry analysts or consumers and adverse publicity resulting from such statements or from litigation filed against the Company;

      Worldwide economic conditions, including overall market demand for information technology and other products with which the Company’s products can be used;

      Ability of the Company to profitably and efficiently manage its development of products and key components, and to avoid disruptions in the development thereof;

      Ability of the Company to maintain profitable relationships with distributors and other resellers of the Company’s products;

      The Company’s ability to attract and retain competent, motivated employees;

      Ability of the Company to comply with applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and other legal requirements in the numerous countries in which it does business;

      Ability of the Company to successfully manage litigation, including enforcing its rights, protecting its interests and defending itself from claims made against it and;

      Ability of the Company to successfully implement its restructuring of debt, to achieve and maintain an appropriate cost structure and to minimize unforeseen and extraordinary expenses.

 

Typically, the orders we receive in one quarter are delivered and installed by the following quarter. However, many of our sales involve lengthy sales cycles.  Consequently, it is not possible to predict with any reliability the periods within which a sale may close or when we will recognize revenue.  As a result, our operating results may be materially affected if a single large transaction is earlier or later than expected.  It is likely that in some future periods our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.  If this happens, the trading price of our Common Stock would likely be materially adversely affected.

 

We May Need and Be Unable to Obtain Additional Funding on Satisfactory Terms, Which Could Dilute Our Stockholders or Impose Burdensome Financial Restrictions on Our Business

 

As stated above, the Company has successfully restructured the terms of certain secured debt, including extending the maturity dates.  The restructured debt, pursuant to the original inter-creditor agreement between Canyon Capital and Coast, which was sold to Wamco on May 15, 2003, contains various restrictions and covenants, including a minimum quick ratio of ..34 to 1.00 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to l.00.  In the event that the Company were not in compliance with the various restrictions and covenants and were unable to receive waivers for non-compliance, the term debt would be immediately due and payable.  The Company was not in compliance with but received waivers for its covenants through December 31, 2004.  There is no guaranty that the Company will meet its debt covenants in the future.  The Company is currently negotiating with Wamco to revise such covenants, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully change the covenants.  We believe that we will either be successful in revising such covenants to levels that are achievable for future compliance or receive waivers if needed.  However, any additional debt financing or other financing of securities senior to Common Stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility.  At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our Common Stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants or to repay such indebtedness when due would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

 

The Market In Which We Operate is Highly Competitive, and We May Face Increased Competition From New Entrants and Established Industry Competitors With Significantly Greater Financial Resources

 

We face significant competition in all sectors of the market for computer-based solutions and support and maintenance services that we offer.  We have numerous competitors, which vary widely in their size, capabilities, market segments and geographical areas, many of which are larger and have financial resources far greater than what we have.  Within our market, competition comes primarily from competing software applications vendors and from local value-added resellers and independent software vendors, who usually resell hardware or networking products of larger original equipment manufacturers.  Many of our services are provided by our customers’ in-house information services departments. There can be no assurance that we can effectively compete with any or all of our competitors in our business line.  Our competitors may be able to adapt more swiftly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily and devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services than we can.  There can be no assurance that additional competitors will not enter markets that we plan to serve or that we will be able to compete effectively.

The Software Industry for Hospitality Management is Undergoing Rapid Technological Changes and New Software Introduced by Third Parties May Be Superior to the Software That We Own or License

 

The software industry for hospitality management is subject to rapid and significant technological change.  We cannot predict the effect of technological changes on our business.  We expect that new products and services will emerge in the markets in which we compete.  These new products and services may be superior to the products and services that we use or these products and services may render our products and services obsolete.  Our failure to anticipate or respond adequately to the changes in technology and customer preferences, or to develop and introduce new products in a timely fashion, could materially adversely affect our business and operating results.

 

Trading in Our Common Stock is Limited

 

The recent trading volume for our Common Stock has been small, and the market for our common stock has been less liquid than that of many other publicly traded companies.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the average daily trading volume has been approximately 19,367 shares, whereas the average daily trading volume for an American Stock Exchange listed stock is substantially higher.  There can be no assurance that a stockholder who desires to sell shares of Common Stock can sell all of the shares that the stockholder desires to sell, either at all or at the desired times or prices.

 

Our International Operations Are Subject to Additional Risks

 

Approximately 20% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003 were derived from foreign operations and approximately 39% of our work force is based outside the United States.  Our financial performance is affected to some extent by the fluctuation in value of the US dollar in relation to the local currencies of the countries in which we do business. In addition, our foreign operations are subject to the usual risks that may affect such operations, including import and export restrictions, possible expropriation or other governmental actions, taxes and political changes. International sales are subject to inherent risks, including:

 

      recessions in economies outside the United States,

      limited protection of intellectual property rights in some countries,

      political instability,

      terrorism,

      unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs,

      difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations,

      the possibility of subsidization of our competitors and the nationalization of business,

      longer payment cycles,

      greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, and

      potentially adverse tax consequences.

 

We May Be Unable to Enforce or Defend Our Ownership and Use of Proprietary Technology

 

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our proprietary technology upon and our licensing rights to the principal application software products that we market.  We rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret and copyright law and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary technology.  However, these measures provide only limited protection, and we may not be able to detect unauthorized use or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.  Any litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights would be expensive and time-consuming, would divert management resources and may not be adequate to protect our business.

 

We could be subject to claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others.  In addition, we may be required to indemnify our resellers and users for similar claims made against them.  Any claims against us could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation, pay damages, develop new intellectual property or acquire licenses to intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement claims.  These licenses, if required, may not be available at all or on acceptable terms.  As a result, intellectual property claims against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

American Stock Exchange Market De-listing

 

In June 2003, we were de-listed from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and our stock began trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board.  Thus, investors may find it more difficult to trade in our Common Stock or obtain accurate, current information concerning market prices. This may have had a negative impact on the trading prices and the liquidity of the market for our Common Stock.  In addition, there may be a more negative perception of our company by investors, customers and third parties doing business or considering doing business with us.  Also, our company may be treated less favorably with respect to regulatory requirements that are dependent upon listing on a national stock exchange.

Use of NOLs

 

The Company has Federal and state net operating losses (NOL) carryovers that will expire in the years 2004 through 2020.  The Company’s utilization of a portion of its NOL carryovers is subject to various uncertainties including an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The amount of this limitation is not known at this time.

ITEM 3.                                                     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Internal Revenue Service

 

On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) on a tax claim which resulted from the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings whereby it agreed to pay $489,000 in equal monthly installments of $7,438 over a period of six (6) years at an interest rate of 6%.  The $489,000 settlement is reflected as debt in the financial statements and resulted in a one-time gain of $262,000 which is included in income tax benefit. In the event that the Company fails to pay the Service any payment, and such payment failure continues for sixty days after written notice of such failure, $1,832,100, plus accrued interest thereon, less any payments made by the Company will be immediately due and payable to the Service.  As of December 31, 2003, the company is current on its payments and the balance outstanding on the settlement was $428,000.

 

CSA Private Limited

 

CSA is a MAI shareholder.  On August 9, 1996, MAI acquired from Hotel Information Systems, Inc. (“HIS”) substantially all their assets and certain of their liabilities (the “HIS Acquisition”).  At the time of MAI’s acquisition of HIS in 1996, CSA was a shareholder of HIS and, in connection with the purchase, MAI agreed to issue to CSA shares of its Common Stock worth approximately $4.8 million in August 1996, which amount had increased to approximately $6.8 million as of December 31, 2000, pursuant to the agreement. The Company entered into a settlement agreement with CSA in February, 2001 whereby it (i) issued CSA 1,916,014 additional shares of our Common Stock to bring CSA’s total share ownership to 2,433,333 shares; (ii) filed a registration statement for all of CSA’s shares of our Common Stock which has been declared effective by the SEC so that such shares are now freely tradable; and (iii) executed a secured debt instrument in favor of CSA in the principal sum of $2,800,000 which is subordinate only to the Company’s present group of two (2) senior secured leaders and required cash installment payments to commence in March 2002 (see note 7).

 

In connection with the settlement agreement with CSA, the Company recorded the $2.8 million debt issuance as a reduction in paid in capital and the 1,916,014 additional shares at par as an addition to Common Stock and a reduction to additional paid in capital.

 

Hotel Information Systems, Inc.

 

On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Hotel Information Systems (“HIS”) and one of its former corporate officers whereby (i) the parties dismissed all claims, known and unknown, against each other; (ii) the Company forgave and wrote off a note receivable from the former corporate officer of HIS in the amount of $66,000 (which was expensed to other expense in the 2002 consolidated statement of operations); (iii) the Company paid $50,000 in cash and issued a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note which requires 35 consecutive monthly payments of $5,000

 

11



 

each commencing April 1, 2003; and (iv) the remaining 374,116 shares in the escrow account will be released to the Company.  If the Company is delinquent four times in any twelve month period during the term of the unsecured promissory note in making its $5,000 monthly payments to HIS, and HIS issues respective valid default notices, the Company will be subject to a $225,000 penalty.  The 374,116 shares have been received by MAI together with the HIS authorization to legally transfer such shares to MAI.

 

Imputing interest at 11%, the present value of the $175,000 promissory note at the date of the settlement was $149,000.  The Company recorded the present value of this debt issuance and the $50,000 cash payment as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

 

Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community

 

A lawsuit was filed by Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community (“Cher-Ae Heights”) against Logix Development Corporation (Logix), now known as MAI Development Corporation, as a co-defendant for a breach of contract by the Company’s formerly owned gaming subsidiary along with the new owners, Monaco Informatiques Systemes (“MIS”), who acquired the assets and certain liabilities of the gaming subsidiary on July 27, 2001. Based upon this suit, MIS informed the Company that it did not intend to pay the next $500,000 due to the Company under a promissory note and security agreement.  On October 24, 2002, the Company entered into a global settlement agreement between the parties whereby all claims, known and unknown, between the parties were dismissed and the Company received $796,000.

 

Logix Development Corporation

 

We entered into a settlement agreement with Logix Development Corporation (“Logix”) in July of 2002 whereby we (i) issued Logix 200,000 shares of our Common Stock (ii) required the Company to make various cash installment payments totaling $175,000 to be paid within 1 year and (iii) executed a contract with Logix for a consulting project in the amount of $50,000.

 

In December 2003, we entered into another settlement agreement with Logix whereby we (i) issued 200,000 free trading shares in exchange for the 200,000 restricted Common Shares from the original settlement agreement in July 2002 (ii) required the Company to make monthly payments totaling $187,500 over a 25 month period and (iii) mutually released each other of all past, present and future claims associated with the lawsuit.

 

Other Litigation

 

We were also involved in various other legal proceedings that are incident to its business. Management believes the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

ITEM 4.                                                     SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

PART II

 

ITEM 5.                                                     MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

 

In June 2003, the Company was de-listed from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and began trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “MAIY.OB”.  Prior to listing on the AMEX, which occurred August 29, 1995, our shares were traded  on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board by various market makers under the ticker symbol “MAIS”. The following table sets forth the high and low closing sales prices for our Common Stock for the indicated periods during 2002 and 2003, as reported by the AMEX and Over-the-counter Bulletin Board. On February 27, 2004, the closing price of our Common Stock as reported by the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board was $0.17 and there were 545 stockholders of record (See “Risk Factors” – American Stock Exchange Market Listing”).

 

We have never paid any dividends and do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to reinvest in our business.  The covenants in our current or future financing agreements may prohibit or limit our ability to declare or pay cash dividends.

ITEM 6.                                                     SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to our Annual Report under the heading, “Selected Financial Information”.

 

ITEM 7.                                                     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to our Annual Report under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

 

ITEM 7A.                                            QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market Risk Disclosures

 

The following discussion about our market risk disclosures contains forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.  We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  We do not have derivative financial instruments for hedging, speculative, or trading purposes.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

Of our $10.8 million principal amount of indebtedness at December 31, 2003, none bears interest at a variable rate.  However, $5.7 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 11%, $2.8 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 10%, $1.4 million bears interest at 9.25% and $0.3 million bears fixed interest rates ranging from 6% to 17.5%. Since these debt instruments bear interest at fixed rates, we have exposure to decreases in interest rates because we still are required to pay the fixed rate even if current interest rates are lower.

 

13



 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We believe that our exposure to currency exchange fluctuation risk is reduced because our transactions with international vendors and customers are generally transacted in US dollars.  The currency exchange impact on intercompany transactions was immaterial in 2001, 2002, and 2003.

 

ITEM 8.                                                     CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to our Annual Report under the headings, “Consolidated Balance Sheets”, “Consolidated Statements of Operations”, “Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficiency and Comprehensive Income (Loss)”, “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows”, “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Independent Auditors’ Report”.

 

Schedule II Valuation and Qualifying Accounts is set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

All other schedules and financial statements are omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

 

ITEM 9.                                                     CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A.               CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC.  The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining these procedures, and, as required by the rules of the SEC, evaluate their effectiveness.  Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures which took place as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these procedures are effective to ensure that the Company is able to collect, process and disclose the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods.

 

Internal Controls

 

The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that: transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and to maintain accountability for assets; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

 

Since the date of the most recent evaluation of the Company’s internal controls by the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, there have been no significant changes in such controls or in other factors that could have significantly affected those controls, including and corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Exhibit 13.1.2                     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.  Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Annual Report are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  There are certain important factors and risks, including the rapid change in hardware and software technology, market conditions, competitive factors, seasonality and other variations in the buying cycles of certain of our customers, the timing of product announcements, the release of new or enhanced products, the introduction of competitive products and services by existing or new competitors, the significant risks associated with the acquisition of new products, product rights, technologies or businesses, our ability to retain  technical, managerial and other personnel, and the other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC reports, including reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the statements made herein.  Therefore, historical results and percentage relationships will not necessarily be indicative of the operating results of any future period.  See “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. This forms the basis of judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

Software Development Costs

 

All costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of software products to be sold to others are expensed as research and development. Once technological feasibility has been established, all software production costs are capitalized.  Amortization is computed on an individual product basis and is recognized over the greater of the remaining economic lives of each product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated revenues for that product, commencing when the products become available for general release to customers.  Software development costs are generally amortized over a three-year period.  The Company continually assesses the recoverability of software development costs by comparing the carrying value of individual products to their net realizable value.

 

The Company capitalized $861,000 and $896,000 of software development costs during 2002 and 2003 respectively, relating to our new N-Tier, Internet-native corporate application suite of products written in java.  Although we have not yet sold any of the modules to this suite of applications, we believe that these new products will produce new sales adequate to recover amounts capitalized.  We expect that certain of our new products will be available for general release during the third quarter of 2004 at which time amortization of such costs shall commence.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company earns revenue from sales of hardware, software and professional services and from arrangements involving multiple elements of each of the above. Revenue for multiple element arrangements are recorded by allocating revenue to the various elements based on their respective fair values as evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence. The fair value in multi-element arrangements is determined based upon the price charged when sold separately. Revenue is not recognized until persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales of network and computer equipment are recorded when title and risk of loss transfers. Software revenues are recorded when application software programs are shipped to end users, resellers and distributors, provided the Company is not required to provide services essential to the functionality of the software or significantly modify, customize or produce the software. Professional services fees for software development, training and installation are recognized as the services are provided. Maintenance revenues are recorded evenly over the related contract period.

 

24



 

Accounts Receivable

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The amount of our reserves is based on historical experience and our analysis of the accounts receivable balances outstanding. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required which would result in an additional general and administrative expense in the period such determination was made. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past.

 

Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

 

At December 31, 2002 and 2003, goodwill and other long-lived assets represented 46% and 57%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets.

 

Goodwill must be tested at least annually for impairment at a level of reporting referred to as the reporting unit and more frequently if adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.   The Company did not record an impairment charge upon completion of the initial impairment reviews on January 1, 2002 or upon its annual impairment reviews at December 31, 2002 and 2003.

 

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and other identifiable intangible assets.  These assets are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful life, and are subject to impairment reviews.  The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  In assessing recoverability, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine if an impairment loss may exist, and, if so, estimate fair value.  The Company also must estimate and make assumptions regarding the useful lives assigned to its long-lived assets.  If these estimates, or their related assumptions, change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment losses or change the useful life including accelerating depreciation or amortization for these assets.

 

Accrued Expenses

 

The Company reviews its contingent liabilities, which arise primarily from litigation and litigation defense costs, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (SFAS 5), “Accounting for Contingencies”.  Contingent liabilities are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.  Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long periods.  Estimating probable losses requires judgments about both the amount of liability, which may or may not be readily determinable, and the likelihood of liability, which involves ranges of probability that can at times be broad and depend on the potential actions of third parties.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes is based upon the Company’s estimate of taxable income or loss for each respective accounting period.  An asset or liability is recognized for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.  These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods when the reported amounts of assets are recovered or liabilities are settled. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets to determine the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. When this amount is less than the deferred tax asset recorded, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the asset to its estimated realizable value.  If the Company determined that it was not going to be able to fully realize its recorded deferred tax assets, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance.  This would reduce net income in the period that the Company made its determination.  Similarly, if the Company realized that it was going to be able to fully realize a deferred tax asset in excess of its net recorded value, net income would be increased in the period that the Company made its determination.

 

The Company also reviews its deferred tax liabilities on a regular basis to determine that the amount recorded is adequate to cover the expected reversal of temporary income tax liabilities.  In the event that the amount recorded was less than adequate, the deferred tax liability would be increased to its estimated realizable value and net income would be decreased accordingly.  In the event that the deferred tax liability was determined to be overstated, it would be reduced to its estimated realizable value and net income would increase accordingly.

 

The Company generally determines its effective tax rate by considering the statutory federal income tax rate, the statutory

 

25



 

state and local tax rates (net of the federal income tax benefit) and any nondeductible expenses.  This rate could also be affected by increases or decreases to deferred tax assets or liabilities as described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2003, our working capital deficiency worsened from a working capital deficiency of $8,649,000 at December 31, 2002 to a working capital deficiency of $10,399,000.  Excluding unearned revenue of $3,209,000, working capital deficiency at December 31, 2003 was $7,190,000.  Excluding unearned revenue of $3,693,000, the Company’s working capital deficiency at December 31, 2002 would be $4,956,000.  Excluding unearned revenue, the increase in the working capital deficiency of $2,234,000 was primarily attributable to increases in current portion of long term debt of $357,000, customer deposits of $523,000, accrued liabilities of $1,052,000 and decreases in accounts receivable of $521,000, notes receivable of $250,000 offset by decreases in accounts payable of $173,000 and increases in cash of $119,000 and prepaids and other assets of $186,000.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the period ended December 31, 2003 totaled $1,071,000, which is comprised of capital expenditures of $346,000, capitalized software of $896,000 and acquisition of unconsolidated subsidiary of $79,000 offset by proceeds from note receivable of $250,000.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the period ended December 31, 2003 totaled $239,000, which represents repayments on long-term debt.  On January 13, 2003, the Company converted its credit facility to a term loan which requires monthly principal and interest payments of $58,000 and matures on February 28, 2005.  In addition, the Company amended its subordinated note to require monthly interest only payments of $52,000 through February 28, 2005, at which time it will convert to a term loan to be amortized over a three years period.  The restructured debt, pursuant to the original intercreditor agreement between Canyon and Coast, which was sold to Wamco on May 15, 2003, contains various restrictions and covenants, including a minimum quick ratio of 0.34 to 1.00 and minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to l.00 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003.  In the event that we were not in compliance with the various restrictions and covenants and were unable to receive waivers for non-compliance, the term debt would be immediately due and payable. The Company was not in compliance with but received waivers for its covenants through December 31, 2004. There is no guaranty that the Company will meet its debt covenants in the future.  The Company is currently negotiating with Wamco to change such covenants, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully change the covenants.

 

Stockholders’ deficiency decreased from $14,782,000 at December 31, 2002 to $14,586,000 at December 31, 2003, mainly as a result of net income during the period of $353,000, the issuance of common stock and warrants to Canyon Capital valued at $62,000, amortization of unearned compensation of $38,000 offset by an increase in comprehensive loss of $58,000 and reduction in additional paid-in capital of $199,000 relating to the issuance of $149,000 of debt and $50,000 of cash to satisfy a legal settlement (see note 14).

 

Although the Company has a net stockholders’ deficiency of  $14,586,000 and a working capital deficit of $10,399,000 (which includes subordinated debt due to CSA of $2,800,000) at December 31, 2003, the Company believes it will generate sufficient funds from operations and obtain additional financing or restructure its subordinated note with CSA to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.  The Company is currently in negotiations with CSA to restructure the terms of the existing debt, including extending the maturity date.  The Company expects to generate positive cash flow from its continuing operations during 2004 from shipping out products and services from its current backlog as of December 31, 2003 as well as new orders.  In the event that the Company cannot generate positive cash flow from its continuing operations during 2004, the Company can substantially reduce its research and development efforts to mitigate cash outflow to help sustain its operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain profitability, generate positive cash flow from operations or restructure its debt as necessary.  These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern.  If the Company is unsuccessful in the aforementioned efforts, the Company could be forced to liquidate certain of its assets, reorganize its capital structure and, if necessary, seek other remedies available to the Company, including protection under the bankruptcy laws.

Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

 

Demand for the Company’s Products and Operating Efficiencies

 

The Company’s future operating results will depend, in large part, upon the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain a significant market demand and presence for its products and to operate profitably and efficiently.  The Company’s ability to accomplish these objectives will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

 

      Market demand for information technology in the hospitality industry in general;

      Completion of development, launch and market success and acceptance of our software solutions;

      Price, performance, quality and other characteristics of the Company’s products and of competing and substitute products rumored, announced or introduced by other vendors;

      Emergence of any competing solutions as industry standards;

      Success of the Company in meeting targeted availability dates for new and enhanced products;

      Success of the Company’s efforts to provide and maintain customer service and satisfaction;

      Public perception of the Company and its products, including statements made by industry analysts or consumers and adverse publicity resulting from such statements or from litigation filed against the Company;

      Worldwide economic conditions, including overall market demand for information technology and other products with which the Company’s products can be used;

      Ability of the Company to profitably and efficiently manage its development of products and key components, and to avoid disruptions in the development thereof;

      Ability of the Company to maintain profitable relationships with distributors and other resellers of the Company’s products;

      The Company’s ability to attract and retain competent, motivated employees;

      Ability of the Company to comply with applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and other legal requirements in the numerous countries in which it does business;

      Ability of the Company to successfully manage litigation, including enforcing its rights, protecting its interests and defending itself from claims made against it and;

      Ability of the Company to successfully implement its restructuring of debt, to achieve and maintain an appropriate cost structure and to minimize unforeseen and extraordinary expenses.

 

The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to successfully manage, satisfy or influence any of these factors.

Revenue for 2003 was $19,346,000 compared to $21,937,000 in 2002 or a 12.0% decrease.  Revenue decreased $2,591,000 in 2003, as a result of decreased  professional services and maintenance services mainly due to decreased capital spending on information technology in 2003 due to the effects of a downturn and post “9/11” economy on the hospitality industry.

 

The decrease in revenue in 2003 was mainly attributable to a decrease in service volume and rates as many hotels have reduced their operating costs by canceling or reducing contracted services, including support, in a post “9/11” economy.  Many hotels have requested that their suppliers reduce the cost of service or delay any price increases while they are experiencing reduced guest occupancy and lower average daily rates on their inventory of rooms.  Certain hotels have also established their own help desks to further reduce costs.  As a result, the Company postponed increasing its support prices until the first quarter of 2003 and agreed, with certain of its clients, to provide a second line of support versus a first line of support that was previously provided to such clients.  Our continuing hospitality business is expected to generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund its ongoing operating activities.

 

Gross profit for 2003 decreased to $13,826,000 (71.5%) from $15,017,000 (68.5%) in 2002.  The decrease in gross profit is mainly due to the decrease in software and maintenance services revenues which was offset by the Company’s cost reductions during the period.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased from $9,363,000 in 2002 to $9,596,000 in 2003.  The increase is mainly due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses for trade shows, advertisement and travel as the Company continues to actively and aggressively market its enterprise suite of applications and services which are scheduled for general release in the third quarter of 2004.

 

Research and development costs decreased from $3,307,000 in 2002 to $2,828,000 in 2003.  The decrease is due to the capitalization of $861,000 and $896,000 of software development costs in 2002 and 2003, respectively, associated with the Company’s product development of its new internet native suite of applications.  The decrease is also due to a decrease in headcount associated with the Company’s focus on reducing costs.

 

Other operating expense was $212,000 in 2002 and $62,000 in 2003.  Other operating expense in 2003 was offset due to receipt of approximately $46,000 of cash resulting from a legal settlement.

 

The decrease in amortization of intangibles in 2003 versus the comparable period of 2002 is due to the fact that the Company amortized $134,000 of software development costs in 2002 relating to costs capitalized in 1999.  These costs were fully amortized during 2002.

 

Net interest expense was $1,490,000 in 2002 compared to $1,217,000 in 2003.  The decrease is due to lower balances of interest bearing debt during 2003 as compared to 2002.

 

Other non-operating expense increased from $64,000 in 2002 to $81,000 in 2003.  Non-operating expense relates to pension expense under a defined benefit plan for former employees.

 

The income tax benefit in 2003 is due to a settlement agreement on a tax claim with the United States Internal Revenue Service that resulted in a one-time gain of $262,000 (see note 14), as well as the Company recording a domestic income tax receivable during the period to recover taxes previously paid.

 

28



 

During 2002, loss from discontinued operations was $746,000. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company sold all the assets and liabilities of it’s Process Manufacturing and Canadian subsidiaries to third parties, resulting in a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $1,021,000.

Revenue for 2002 was $21,937,000 compared to $23,768,000 in 2001 or a 7.7% decrease.  Revenue decreased $1,831,000 in 2002, as a result of decreased  professional services and maintenance services mainly due to decreased capital spending on information technology in 2002 due to the effects of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the hospitality industry.

 

The decrease in revenue in 2002 was mainly attributable to a decrease in service volume and rates as many hotels have reduced their operating costs by canceling or reducing contracted services, including support, in a post September 11, 2001 economy.  Many hotels have requested that their suppliers reduce the cost of service or delay any price increases while they are experiencing reduced guest occupancy and lower average daily rates on their inventory of rooms.  Certain hotels have also established their own help desks to further reduce costs.  As a result, the Company did not raise support prices in 2002 and agreed, with certain of its clients, to provide a second line of support versus a first line of support that was previously provided to such clients.  Our continuing hospitality business unit continues to generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund its ongoing operating activities.

 

Gross profit for 2002 decreased to $15,017,000 (68.5%) from $16,530,000 (69.5%) in 2001. The decrease in gross profit is mainly due to the decrease in professional services and maintenance services revenues during the period in excess of the Company’s cost reductions.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased from $7,927,000 in 2001 to $9,363,000 in 2002. The increase is mainly due to an increase in selling & marketing, expenses for trade shows, advertisements and additional head count and other employee related expenses as the Company actively markets components of its newly developed enterprise suite of applications.

 

The decrease in net research and development costs in 2002 was mainly due to the capitalization of approximately $861,000 of software development costs associated with the Company’s new product development for hospitality.  There were no such costs capitalized in 2001.

 

The decrease in amortization of intangibles in 2002 versus the comparable period of 2001 is due to the fact that goodwill is no longer amortized to expense commencing January 1, 2002.  Goodwill amortization was $420,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

 

Other operating (income) expense was ($1,643,000) in 2001 and $276,000 in 2002. The decrease in other operating income in 2002 is mainly due to the Company issuing Common Stock to certain creditors to satisfy its obligations, which resulted in a gain of $1,377,000 in the first quarter of 2001. There were no such transactions in 2002.

 

Net interest expense net was $1,473,000 in 2001 compared to $1,490,000 in 2002.  The slight increase is mainly due a decrease in interest income of $67,000 for 2001 compared to 2002.

 

The income tax provision only reflects a tax provision for our foreign operations and alternative minimum taxes for domestic operations due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in 2001.

 

In 2001, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities relating to its domestic Legacy hardware maintenance division to a third party, resulting in a gain of $1,262,000.  In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company sold all the assets and liabilities of it’s Process Manufacturing and Canadian subsidiaries to third parties, resulting in a loss of $1,021,000.

 

29



 

Results from discontinued operations improved from a loss of $2,787,000 in 2001 to loss of $746,000 in 2002 mainly as a result of decreased Process Manufacturing operating expenses from $4,871,000 in 2001 to $1,486,000 in 2002. Revenue from discontinued operations decreased from $5,078,000 in 2001 to $2,344,000 in 2002. Revenue from Process Manufacturing decreased from $1,980,000 in 2001 to $1,443,000 in 2002 reflecting the process ERP industry stagnation and decline.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” FAS No. 146 addresses accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” FAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. FAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company’s adopting the provisions of FAS 146 for exit or disposal activities did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize a liability, at the inception of the guarantee, for the fair value of obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee and also to include more detail disclosures with respect to guarantees. FIN 45 is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and requires the additional disclosures for interim or annual period ended after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 have not had an impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”, which amended FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The new standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair market value based method for accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of FAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement is effective for financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. In compliance with FAS No. 148, the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plan as defined by APB No. 25 and has made the applicable disclosures herein.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which amends and clarifies the accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging activities that fall within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  SFAS 149 is effective (1) for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions, and (2) for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.  The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 149 to future contracts entered into or future hedging relationships, if any.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective for the Company on July 1, 2003.  The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB 104) which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB 101). SAB 104’s primary purpose was to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements which was superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”.  EITF 00-21 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company was previously following the requirements provided under SAB 104 and, accordingly, the implementation of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as reported.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — an interpretation of ARB 51

 

30



 

(revised December 2003)”, which replaces FIN 46.  FIN 46-R incorporates certain modifications to FIN 46 adopted by the FASB subsequent to the issuance of FIN 46, including modifications of the scope of FIN 46.  For all non-special purpose entities (“SPE”) created prior to February 1, 2003, public entities will be required to adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.  For all entities (regardless of whether the entity is an SPE) that were created subsequent to January 31, 2003, public entities are already required to apply the provisions of FIN 46, and should continue doing so unless they elect to adopt the provisions of Fin 46-R early as of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003.  If they do not elect to adopt FIN 46-R early, public entities would be required to apply FIN 46-R to those post-January 31, 2003 entities as of the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.  Management did not elect to adopt FIN 46-R early and will need to review and assess the effects, if any, FIN 46-R will have on the Company’s financial statements, but we do not believe the adoption of FIN 46R for non-SPEs will have a material impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”, an amendment of  SFAS No. 87, 88 and 106, and a revision of SFAS No.132. The statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2003. This Statement revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS No. 87, 88 and 106. The new rules require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Exhibit 13.1.8                     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

MAI SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of the Business

 

MAI Systems Corporation (the “Company” or “MAI”) provides total information technology solutions to the hospitality, resort and destination industry.  The solutions provided by the Company typically include applications software, computer hardware, peripherals and wide and local area network design, implementation, installation and support.  The software applications are generally the Company’s proprietary software, or software which is licensed to the Company on an exclusive basis.  The hardware, peripherals and networking systems are generally third-party products, which we distribute.  Directly and through arrangements with third parties, we provide on-site and off-site service and support to users of network and systems hardware.

 

Liquidity

 

Although the Company has a net stockholders’ deficiency of $14,586,000 and a working capital deficit of $10,399,000 (which includes subordinated debt due to CSA of $2,800,000, see note 7) at December 31, 2003, the Company believes it will continue to generate sufficient funds from operations and obtain additional financing or restructure its subordinated note with CSA to meet its operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.  The Company is currently in negotiations with CSA to restructure the terms of the existing debt, including extending the maturity date.  The Company expects to generate positive cash flow from its continuing operations during 2004 from shipping out products and services from its current backlog as of December 31, 2003 as well as new orders. In the event that the Company cannot generate positive cash flow from its continuing operations during 2004, the Company can substantially reduce its research and development efforts to mitigate cash outflow to help sustain its operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain profitability, generate positive cash flow from operations or restructure its debt as necessary.  These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern.  If the Company is unsuccessful in the aforementioned efforts, the Company could be forced to liquidate certain of its assets, reorganize its capital structure and, if necessary, seek other remedies available to the Company, including protection under the bankruptcy laws.

 

The restructured debt, pursuant to the original inter-creditor agreement between Canyon Capital and Coast, which was sold to Wamco on May 15, 2003, contains various restrictions and covenants.  In the event that the Company were not in compliance with the various restrictions and covenants and were unable to receive waivers for non-compliance, the term debt would be immediately due and payable.  The Company was not in compliance with but received waivers for its covenants through December 31, 2004 (see note 7).  There is no guaranty that the Company will meet its debt covenants in the future.  The Company is currently negotiating with Wamco to change such covenants, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully change the covenants.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its domestic operations and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company earns revenue from sales of hardware, software and professional services and from arrangements involving

 

38



 

multiple elements of each of the above. Revenue for multiple element arrangements are recorded by allocating revenue to the various elements based on their respective fair values as evidenced by vendor specific objective evidence. The fair value in multi-element arrangements is determined based upon the price charged when sold separately. Revenue is not recognized until persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales of network and computer equipment are recorded when title and risk of loss transfers. Software revenues are recorded when application software programs are shipped to end users, resellers and distributors, provided the Company is not required to provide services essential to the functionality of the software or significantly modify, customize or produce the software. Professional services fees for software development, training and installation are recognized as the services are provided. Maintenance revenues are recorded evenly over the related contract period.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less, when purchased.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that it believes are  uncollectible.  The Company also records additional allowances based upon certain percentages of our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and or assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base.  If the Company’s actual collection experience changes, revisions to its allowance may be required.  Any unanticipated change in the Company’s customer’s credit worthiness or other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers, could have a material affect on its results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of first in, first out cost or market.

 

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives.  Expenditures for additions and major improvements are capitalized.  Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.  Management of the Company assesses the recoverability of property and equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of such assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of.  SFAS No. 144 also changes the criteria for classifying an asset as held for sale, and broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations.

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2001.  The adoption of SFAS No.144 did not affect the Company’s financial statements.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as furniture, fixtures and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, and impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.  The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

 

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 144, the Company accounted for long-lived assets to be disposed of in accordance with SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”.

Prior to 2002, goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the acquired business, was amortized over the period of expected benefit of five to seven years.  Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by the Company were reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used was assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets were considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized was measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value of the assets.  Assets that were to be disposed of were reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

However, effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“SFAS No. 142”) which requires that the Company cease amortization of goodwill and all intangible assets having indefinite useful economic lives. Such assets are not to be amortized until their lives are determined to be finite, however, a recognized intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset has decreased below its carrying value. At December 31, 2003, the Company evaluated its goodwill and determined that fair value had not decreased below carrying value and no adjustment to impair goodwill was necessary in accordance with SFAS No. 142.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The realizability of the deferred tax asset is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is established accordingly.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) plus the unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency translations and minimum pension liability.

 

Stock Option Plans

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”, which amended FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The new standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair market value based method for accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of FAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement is effective for financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.  In compliance with FAS No. 148, the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plan as defined by APB No. 25.

 

At December 31, 2003, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 12. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense relating to employee stock options is determined based on the excess of the market price of the Company’s stock over the exercise price on the date of grant, the intrinsic value method, versus the fair value method as provided under FAS No. 123.  Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards for years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, consistent with the provisions of FAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and loss per share or net income and net income and net income per share would have increased or decreased respectively.

 

The following table represents the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee compensation.

Pension Plan

 

The Company established a defined benefit plan for employees that were employed by the Company’s maintenance service business acquired in 1988.  The plan provides benefits based upon a percentage of the participant’s career income with the Company or years of service while an employee of the Company.  The funding policy is to contribute annually an amount to fund pension costs as actuarially determined by an independent pension consulting firm.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency for all foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency.  Accordingly, all translation adjustments for foreign subsidiaries, and gains and losses on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term nature, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ deficiency.

 

There were no material net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in 2001, 2002 and 2003.  These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Software Development Costs

 

All costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of software products to be sold to others are expensed as research and development. Once technological feasibility has been established, all software production costs are capitalized. Amortization is computed on an individual product basis and is recognized over the greater of the remaining economic lives of each product or the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated revenues for that product, commencing when the products become available for general release to customers.  Software development costs are generally amortized over a three-year period.  The Company continually assesses the recoverability of software development costs by comparing the carrying value of individual products to their net realizable value.

 

The Company capitalized $861,000 and $896,000 of software development costs during 2002 and 2003 respectively, relating to our new N-Tier, Internet-native corporate application suite of products written in java.  Although we have not yet sold any of the modules to this suite of applications, we believe that these new products will produce new sales adequate to recover amounts capitalized.  We expect that certain of our new products will be available for general release during the third quarter of 2004 at which time amortization of such costs shall commence.

 

41



 

Research and Development Costs

 

During 2001, 2002, and 2003, we incurred $4,209,000, $3,307,000 and $2,828,000 respectively (net of capitalized software of $861,000 and $896,000 for 2002 and 2003, respectively) for research and development activities, which are expensed as incurred.  Our research and development expenditures related to the support and extension of existing software products and the development of new products.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

As of December 31, 2002 and 2003, the carrying value of cash receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.  The carrying value of long-term debt, including the Company’s line of credit, approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.

 

Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic and diluted income  (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Consideration is also given in the dilutive income per share calculation for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents which might result from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” FAS No. 146 addresses accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” FAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. FAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company’s adopting the provisions of FAS 146 for exit or disposal activities did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” FIN 45 requires a guarantor to recognize a liability, at the inception of the guarantee, for the fair value of obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee and also to include more detail disclosures with respect to guarantees. FIN 45 is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and requires the additional disclosures for interim or annual period ended after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 have not had an impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”, which amended FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The new standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair market value based method for accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Additionally, the statement amends the disclosure requirements of FAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement is effective for financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. In compliance with FAS No. 148, the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plan as defined by APB No. 25 and has made the applicable disclosures herein.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which amends and clarifies the accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging activities that fall within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  SFAS 149 is effective (1) for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions, and (2) for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.  The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 149 to future contracts entered into or future hedging relationships, if any.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective for the Company on July 1, 2003.  The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have

 

42



 

a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB 104) which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB 101). SAB 104’s primary purpose was to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements which was superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”.  EITF 00-21 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of EITF 00-21 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company was previously following the requirements provided under SAB 104 and, accordingly, the implementation of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as reported.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46-R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — an interpretation of ARB 51 (revised December 2003)”, which replaces FIN 46.  FIN 46-R incorporates certain modifications to FIN 46 adopted by the FASB subsequent to the issuance of FIN 46, including modifications of the scope of FIN 46.  For all non-special purpose entities (“SPE”) created prior to February 1, 2003, public entities will be required to adopt FIN 46-R at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.  For all entities (regardless of whether the entity is an SPE) that were created subsequent to January 31, 2003, public entities are already required to apply the provisions of FIN 46, and should continue doing so unless they elect to adopt the provisions of Fin 46-R early as of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003.  If they do not elect to adopt FIN 46-R early, public entities would be required to apply FIN 46-R to those post-January 31, 2003 entities as of the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004.  Management did not elect to adopt FIN 46-R early and will need to review and assess the effects, if any, FIN 46-R will have on the Company’s financial statements, but we do not believe the adoption of FIN 46R for non-SPEs will have a material impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”, an amendment of  SFAS No. 87, 88 and 106, and a revision of SFAS No.132. The statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after December 15, 2003. This Statement revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS No. 87, 88 and 106. The new rules require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURE, AGREEMENTS AND FINANCING

 

Hospitality Services & Solutions

 

On June 23, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Hospitality Services & Solutions (“HSS”) including a 35% ownership in AMDB – HIS (“AMDB”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement for 100,000 shares of common stock valued at $32,000 (the quoted market price of the common stock at the time the terms were agreed), and $75,000 in cash.  Additionally, the shareholders of HSS received a 20% minority interest in the Company’s combined operations in Asia. HSS was acquired for the Company to expand its operations in the Asian marketplace, strengthen its management team in the territory and create new opportunities for its new enterprise capable suite of products.  The net assets acquired from HSS are used in the business of software design, engineering and service relating to hotel information systems.  The net assets also include subsidiaries of HSS in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.  The Company recorded $297,000 of goodwill (deductible for tax purposes) in connection with the acquisition of HSS.  Pro forma results of operations as if this acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2001 and 2002 are not shown because its impact would have been immaterial.

 

Included in the acquired assets of HSS was a 35% interest in AMDB, an online reservation service, originally purchased by HSS for $66,000.  On February 20, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it acquired the remaining 65% for $79,000 payable over 6 month installments.  The net liabilities of $15,000 acquired are used to support an online reservation service related to hotel information systems.  The Company recorded $159,000 of goodwill in connection with the acquisition of AMDB.  Pro forma results of operations as if this acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2002 and 2003 are not shown because its impact would have been immaterial.

 

Gaming Systems International

 

On June 19, 1999, the Company sold Gaming Systems International (“GSI”) for an amount in excess of the book value of net assets sold.  Assets sold of approximately $3,749,000 consisted of accounts receivable of $1,514,000, inventories of

 

44



 

$364,000, furniture, fixtures and equipment of $218,000, intangible assets of $1,573,000 and prepaid expenses of $80,000.  Liabilities assumed by the buyer consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $197,000, deposits of $100,000, unearned revenue of $351,000 and long-term debt of 446,000.  The Company received three promissory notes totaling $4,925,000 with face values of $1,100,000, $1,500,000 and $2,325,000, respectively.  Interest was paid monthly at the rate of 10% per annum on both the $1,100,000 and $1,500,000 notes, with the principal due and payable on June 19, 2001 and June 19, 2003, respectively.  The $1,100,000 promissory note was guaranteed by a third party.  Principal payments and interest, at prime plus 1%, was to commence for the $2,325,000 promissory note on October 1, 2002 in 48 monthly installments of approximately $48,000 of principal, plus accrued interest.

 

Imputing interest at a rate of 10%, the present value of the $2,325,000 promissory note at the date of sale was $1,682,000 which resulted in a combined carrying value of $4,282,000 for all three promissory notes. The gain on sale of $1,227,000 had been deferred until collection of the proceeds representing the gain can be assured. As of December 31, 2000, the Notes were held for sale and were written down to an amount which approximated their estimated net realizable value of $2,700,000.

 

On April 6, 2001 the Company entered into an agreement with the maker of the Notes whereby the maker reconveyed 100% of the Common Stock of GSI to the Company for the purpose of selling GSI to a third party. In connection with the agreement, the Company canceled the Notes and entered into a new $1.1 million secured promissory note with the same party. The maker will be paid a commission of 30% of cash receipts from the third party, which will be first applied to the $1.1 million note and paid in cash to the maker thereafter. On July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with the third party for approximately $3.2 million whereby all of the assets of GSI were acquired and all of the liabilities assumed, except for approximately $300,000 of obligations, which will remain with GSI.  The payment terms under the Agreement required a $1 million non-refundable cash payment to the Company, which was received on July 27, 2001 and a $1.5 million payment, which was received in December 2001.  The Company also received a secured promissory note in the amount of $750,000, of which $500,000 was received in December 2002 and $250,000 in January 2003. The third party was also required to pay an additional $250,000 subject to a maximum $250,000 reduction pursuant to the resolution of certain uncertainties as of the date of the Agreement, which, as part of the settlement, in January 2003 the Company received $46,000.  Due to the uncertainty of collecting the unsecured amount of $250,000, gain recognition on that part of the proceeds was deferred until collection was assured.  The Company recorded a gain on the sale of GSI of $245,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001, which is included in other operating expense (income) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Legacy

 

On October 9, 2001, the Company sold certain rights under customer contracts together with the related assets and liabilities of its domestic Legacy hardware maintenance division to the third party currently providing the on-site repair and warranty service to the Company’s Legacy hardware maintenance customers.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company retained the software maintenance component of the customer contracts and will continue to provide the software support services directly to the domestic Legacy customer base.  Additionally, the third party will be required to pay the Company approximately 15% of the third party’s hardware maintenance revenue stream relating to the hardware maintenance customer contracts subsequent to October 31, 2003.  In connection with the sale, the Company received $328,000 in cash and sold approximately $157,000 of assets consisting of inventory, spare parts, fixed assets and certain accounts receivable.  The third party also assumed approximately $1,091,000 of liabilities consisting of accrued liabilities of approximately $366,000 and deferred revenue of approximately $725,000.  The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $1,262,000 in October 2001.

 

MAI Canada 

 

On December 6, 2002, the Company sold all the assets and certain liabilities of its Canadian operations, including all legacy divisions, to the management of this subsidiary pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.  In connection with the sale, the Company also entered into a software distribution agreement whereby the buyer has a non-exclusive right and license to market and install the Company’s hospitality products in Canada.  The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $630,000, which is included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations.  Prior to the sale, the Canadian operations incurred a net income (loss) of $910,000 and ($305,000) during 2001 and 2002, respectively, which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Process Manufacturing

 

On December 6, 2002, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement whereby all the assets and certain liabilities of its process manufacturing software division were sold to a third party for cash of $250,000.  The sale resulted in a loss of

 

45



 

approximately $391,000, which is included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations.  Prior to the sale, Process Manufacturing operations incurred a net loss of $3,736,000 and $441,000 during 2001 and 2002, respectively, which is included in loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and capitalized software.  Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.  Prior to 2002, goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the acquired business, was amortized over the period of expected benefit of five to seven years.  However, effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (“SFAS No. 142”) which requires that the Company cease amortization of all goodwill and intangible assets having indefinite useful economic lives.  The Company determined that there was no impairment upon adoption.   Such assets are not to be amortized until their lives are determined to be finite, however, a recognized intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset has decreased below its carrying value.  At December 31, 2003, the Company evaluated its goodwill and determined that fair value had not decreased below carrying value and no adjustment to impair goodwill was necessary in accordance with SFAS No. 142.

NOTE 7 – LONG-TERM DEBT

 

Wamco 32 Ltd.

 

On January 13, 2003, the Company re-negotiated the terms of its credit facility with Coast Business Credit (“Coast”) whereby the outstanding balance of $1,828,000 was converted to a term loan which accrues interest at 9.25% per annum and requires monthly payments of $58,000 over a 36 months period commencing March 1, 2003.  On February 7, 2003, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) put Coast and its parent company, Southern Pacific Bank, into receivership and held all of Coast’s assets for sale to third parties.  On May 15, 2003, the loan was sold to Wamco 32, Ltd. (“Wamco”).  This sale of the loan by the FDIC did not change any of the terms of the Company’s loan agreement.

 

The loan matures on February 28, 2005, at which time all remaining principal and accrued interest is due and payable.  The Company will also be required to pay Wamco additional principal payments on a quarterly basis based upon an EBITDA-based formula commencing March 31, 2003.  For the year-ended December 31, 2003, there are no additional principal payments required under the EBITDA-based formula.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 and 2003 reflects the re-class of the secured revolving credit facility to a term loan.  As of December 31, 2002 and 2003, the balance of the term loan was $1,801,000 and $1,366,000 respectively.

 

The loan, pursuant to the original inter-creditor agreement between Canyon Capital and Coast, which was sold to Wamco on May 15, 2003, contains various restrictions and covenants, including a minimum quick ratio of .34 to 1.00 and minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to l.00.  In the event that the Company were not in compliance with the various restrictions and covenants and were unable to receive waivers for non-compliance, the term loan would be immediately due and payable.  The Company was not in compliance with but received waivers for such covenants through December 31, 2004.  There is no guaranty that the Company will meet its debt covenants in the future.  The Company is currently negotiating with Wamco to change such covenants, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully change the covenants.

 

Canyon Capital Management LP

 

On January 13, 2003, the Company modified its 11% subordinated notes payable agreement with Canyon Capital Management LP (“Canyon”), whereby the Company is required to make monthly interest payments of $52,000 until the

 

48



 

Wamco term loan is paid off in full at which time the note payable will be converted into a three-year amortizing loan which will accrue interest at 11% per annum and requires equal monthly payments of principal and interest such that the subordinated debt will be paid in full at the end of the amended term.  Upon the repayment of the Wamco debt in full, the Company will also be required to pay Canyon additional principal payments on a quarterly basis based upon an EBITDA-based formula.  Additionally, the Company issued to Canyon 200,000 shares of its common stock valued at $20,000 (the quoted market price of the common stock at the time the terms were agreed) and agreed to issue one million warrants at an exercise price of $0.40 per share valued at $42,000 (using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, volatility of 80% and an expected life of 5 years).  The $62,000 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the modified note.  The principal balance outstanding on the subordinate notes payable to Canyon was approximately $5,662,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2003.

 

CSA Private Limited

 

In connection with a settlement agreement with CSA Private Limited (“CSA”), the Company issued $2.8 million of subordinated debt to CSA. The $2.8 million of debt is secured by all of the Company’s assets, which is subordinate to Wamco and Canyon,  accrues interest at 10% per annum and requires payments of $37,500 from March 1, 2002 through September 1, 2002 and monthly payments of $107,500 commencing on October 1, 2002 until October 2003 when all remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest is to be paid in full. The balance outstanding on the subordinate debt to CSA was $2,800,000 at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

 

The agreement with CSA was amended whereby the Company shall be required to pay the required payments under the subordinated note unless and until it paid $1 million by December 31, 2002.  Upon payment of the $1 million, contractual payments under the subordinated note would have ceased until a final payment in the amount of $400,000 is paid by February 28, 2003. If the Company did not make all of the modified payments to CSA, the subordinated note will revert back to its original terms.  The Company did not make the modified payment and have not made any payments since September 2002.  Under the terms of the subordination agreement between Wamco, Canyon and CSA, the Company is not allowed to make any principal or interest payments to CSA until the Wamco and Canyon debt, including any accrued interest, is repaid in full or the CSA debt is restructured and approved by Wamco and Canyon. The Company is currently in negotiations with CSA to restructure the terms of the subordinated notes including extending its maturity date.  There can be no assurance that CSA and MAI will come to terms on a restructuring or that Wamco and Canyon will ultimately approve the terms of the restructuring.  In the event that the Company is unable to meet the required payments to its primary lenders or meet its payment obligations to its other secured creditors, they are entitled to exercise certain rights under the respective agreements the Company has with them, including but not limited to, foreclosing on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets.  Such action would have a substantial adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern.  The CSA debt is shown as current.

 

CSA has not formally notified the Company of its default.   As of December 31, 2002 and 2003, accrued interest relating to the CSA subordinated debt was $408,000 and $744,000 respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Tax Claims

 

On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) on a tax claim which resulted from the Company’s 1993 Chapter 11 proceedings whereby it agreed to pay $489,000 in equal monthly installments of $7,438 over a period of six (6) years at an interest rate of 6%.  The $489,000 settlement is reflected as debt in the financial statements and resulted in a one-time gain of $262,000 which is included in income tax benefit. In the event that the Company fails to pay the Service any payment, and such payment failure continues for sixty days after written notice of such failure, $1,832,100, plus accrued interest thereon, less any payments made by the Company will be immediately due and payable to the Service.  As of December 31, 2003, the debt balance was $428,000.

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance in the amount set forth above for certain deductible temporary differences where it is not more likely than not the Company will receive future tax benefits.  The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $(774,000), $(3,806,000) and $(179,000), respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2003, the Company has Federal and state net operating losses (NOL) carryovers of approximately $63,000,000 and $3,000,000 respectively.  These NOL carryovers will expire in the years 2004 through 2020.  The Company’s utilization of a portion of its NOL carryovers is subject to various uncertainties including an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The amount of this limitation is not known at this time.

 

On September 11, 2002, the State of California enacted one of the budget trailer bills that implemented the state’s 2002-2003 Budget Bill (A425). The new law suspends the NOL carryover deduction for tax years 2002 and 2003. To compensate for the deduction suspension, the period of availability for these NOL deductions has been extended for two years.

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon.  Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes and possibly withholding taxes payable to the foreign countries, but may be able to offset unrecognized foreign tax credit carryforwards.  Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associate with its hypothetical calculation.

United States revenue from foreign affiliates consists of net intercompany sales and services from the United States to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and is eliminated from consolidated net revenue.  Intercompany sales are based on current selling prices or list prices less discounts.  Discounts typically are influenced by competitive pricing, market conditions and relative foreign exchange rates.

NOTE 12 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY

 

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company adopted the MAI Systems Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan (the “1993 Plan”) which became effective on January 27, 1994.  Under the 1993 Plan, 2,500,000 authorized shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance of options. Options under the 1993 Plan may be granted at exercise prices determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, provided that the exercise prices shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  At December 31, 2003, 1,691,500 and 1,291,833 options under the 1993 Plan were outstanding and exercisable, respectively, and the weighted-average exercise price of these options was $1.28.

 

In July 1995, the Board of Directors adopted the Non-Employee Director’s Stock Option Plan (the “Director’s Plan”).

 

54



 

Under the Director’s Plan, certain directors who are not employees of the Company or any affiliate of the Company are eligible to receive stock options.  The Director’s Plan provides that each non-employee director is also granted an option to purchase 6,250 shares of Common Stock on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which the director is reelected to the Company’s Board.  These options vest 25% on the date of each subsequent annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders which the director is reelected to the Board.  The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Director’s Plan is 250,000 shares.  The exercise price shall not be lower than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  As of December 31, 2003, 137,500 and 96,875 options under the Director’s Plan were outstanding and exercisable, respectively, and the weighted-average exercise price of these options was $2.11.

 

At December 31, 2003, there were 394,147 additional shares available for grant under the stock option plans.  The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2001 and 2002 and was $0.32 and $0.22, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2001 and 2002– risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, volatility of 80% and an expected life of 5 years.

Restricted Stock Plan

 

In May 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Restricted Stock Plan.  Under the plan, 1,250,000 authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock are reserved for issuance to officers and directors of the Company.  The shares will be issued as “Restricted Stock” within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine what terms and conditions shall apply, including the imposition of a vesting schedule.

 

In May 2002, the Company issued 612,500 shares of restricted common stock to its members of the board of directors and certain of its corporate officers which vest equally over a four-year period.  Recipients are not required to provide consideration to the Company other than rendering the service and have the right to vote the shares.  Under APB 25, compensation cost is recognized for the fair value of the restricted stock awarded, which is its quoted market price at the date of grant, which was $0.25 per share.  The total market value of the shares of $153,000 was treated as unearned compensation and is being amortized to expense in proportion to the vesting schedule.  The unamortized balance as of December 31, 2003 is $53,000 and is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On May 20, 1997, the Company authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock.  The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof without any further vote by the holders of Common Stock.

 

Stock Warrants

 

On January 13, 2003, in connection with the modification of the subordinated notes payable with Canyon (see note 7), the Company granted one million warrants to Canyon at an exercise price of $0.40 per share valued at $42,000 which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the modified note.  The warrants vest equally over a period of five years and expire on February 1, 2010.

 

On April 26, 2002, the Company granted 25,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant for services rendered.  The exercise price of the warrants is $0.34 per share.  The warrants vest equally over a  three-year period and have a term of 10 years. The Company recorded no expense related to the granting of warrants to this consultant.

 

On February 2, 2001, the Company granted 25,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant for services rendered.  The exercise price of the warrants is $0.36 per share.  The warrants vest equally over a three-year period and have a term of 10 years. The Company recorded no expense related to the granting of warrants to this consultant.

 

On May 26, 2000, the Company issued warrants to its Chief Executive Officer to purchase 225,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.56 per share.  The exercise price of these warrants will increase with the fair market value of Common Stock when the fair market value exceeds $2.81 per share.  As the exercise price is not fixed, the warrants are accounted for as a variable award and, accordingly, are remeasured at each reporting date.  The warrants vest equally over a three-year period and expire on March 24, 2010.

NOTE 13 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

 

Savings Plans

 

On October 1, 1995, the Company established a Savings and Investment Plan covering substantially all the Company’s domestic employees (the “Domestic Plan”).  The Domestic Plan qualifies under Sections 401(k) and 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Participating employees are allowed to contribute from 1% to 15% of their annual compensation.  During 2001, 2002 and 2003, the Company did not make contributions to the Domestic Plan.

 

Defined Benefit Plans

 

The Company established a defined benefit plan for employees that were employed by the Company’s maintenance service business acquired in 1988.

 

In April 1992, the Company elected to cease benefit accruals under the defined benefit plan to current participants.  The curtailment had no effect on the accrued pension cost of the defined benefit plan.

 

Company contributions under this plan are funded annually.  Plan assets are comprised primarily of guaranteed investment/annuity contracts.  Employee benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ compensation during their employment.

 

The actuarially computed components of net periodic benefit cost included the following components:

The weighted average discount rates used in determining the actuarial present value of the benefit obligations were 7.25%, 6.75%, and 6.25% for 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.  The long-term rate of return on assets was 7%, 7%, and 8% for 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

The policy, as established by the Pension Finance Committee, is to provide for growth of capital with a moderate level of volatility by investing assets per the target allocations stated above.  The assets will be reallocated quarterly to meet the above target allocations.  The investment policy will be reviewed on a quarterly basis, under the advisement of a certified investment advisor, to determine if the policy should be changed.

 

The expected long-term rate of return for the plan’s total assets is based on the expected return of each of the above categories, weighted based on the median of the target allocation for each class.  Equity securities are expected to return 10% to 11% over the long-term, while bond funds are expected to return between 4% and 6%.  Based on historical experience, the Committee expects that the Plan’s asset managers will provide a modest (.5% to 1.0% per annum) premium to their respective market benchmark indices.

Legal Proceedings

 

Internal Revenue Service

 

On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) on a tax claim which resulted from the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings whereby it agreed to pay $489,000 in equal monthly installments of $7,438 over a period of six (6) years at an interest rate of 6%.  The $489,000 settlement is reflected as debt in the financial statements and resulted in a one-time gain of $262,000 which is included in  income tax benefit. In the event that the Company fails to pay the Service any payment, and such payment failure continues for sixty days after written notice of such failure, $1,832,100, plus accrued interest thereon, less any payments made by the Company will be immediately due and payable to the Service.  As of December 31, 2003, the company is current on its payments and the balance outstanding on the settlement was $428,000.

 

CSA Private Limited

 

CSA is a MAI shareholder.  On August 9, 1996, MAI acquired from Hotel Information Systems, Inc. (“HIS”) substantially all their assets and certain of their liabilities (the “HIS Acquisition”).  At the time of MAI’s acquisition of HIS in 1996, CSA was a shareholder of HIS and, in connection with the purchase, MAI agreed to issue to CSA shares of its Common Stock worth approximately $4.8 million in August 1996, which amount had increased to approximately $6.8 million as of December 31, 2000, pursuant to the agreement. The Company entered into a settlement agreement with CSA in February, 2001 whereby it (i) issued CSA 1,916,014 additional shares of our Common Stock to bring CSA’s total share ownership to 2,433,333 shares; (ii) filed a registration statement for all of CSA’s shares of our Common Stock which has been declared effective by the SEC so that such shares are now freely tradable; and (iii) executed a secured debt instrument in favor of CSA in the principal sum of $2,800,000 which is subordinate only to the Company’s present group of two (2) senior secured leaders and required cash installment payments to commence in March 2002 (see note 7).

 

In connection with the settlement agreement with CSA, the Company recorded the $2.8 million debt issuance as a reduction in paid in capital and the 1,916,014 additional shares at par as an addition to Common Stock and a reduction to additional paid in capital.

 

Hotel Information Systems, Inc.

 

On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Hotel Information Systems (“HIS”) and one of its former corporate officers whereby (i) the parties dismissed all claims, known and unknown, against each other; (ii) the Company forgave and wrote off a note receivable from the former corporate officer of HIS in the amount of $66,000 (which was expensed to other expense in the 2002 consolidated statement of operations); (iii) the Company paid $50,000 in cash and issued a non-interest bearing unsecured promissory note which requires 35 consecutive monthly payments of $5,000 each commencing April 1, 2003; and (iv) the remaining 374,116 shares in the escrow account will be released to the Company.  If the Company is delinquent four times in any twelve month period during the term of the unsecured promissory note in making its $5,000 monthly payments to HIS, and HIS issues respective valid default notices, the Company will be subject to a $225,000 penalty.  The 374,116 shares have been received by MAI together with the HIS authorization to legally transfer such shares to MAI.

 

59



 

Imputing interest at 11%, the present value of the $175,000 promissory note at the date of the settlement was $149,000.  The Company recorded the present value of this debt issuance and the $50,000 cash payment as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

 

Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community

 

A lawsuit was filed by Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community (“Cher-Ae Heights”) against Logix Development Corporation (Logix), now known as MAI Development Corporation, as a co-defendant for a breach of contract by the Company’s formerly owned gaming subsidiary along with the new owners, Monaco Informatiques Systemes (“MIS”), who acquired the assets and certain liabilities of the gaming subsidiary on July 27, 2001. Based upon this suit, MIS informed the Company that it did not intend to pay the next $500,000 due to the Company under a promissory note and security agreement.  On October 24, 2002, the Company entered into a global settlement agreement between the parties whereby all claims, known and unknown, between the parties were dismissed and the Company received $796,000.

 

Logix Development Corporation

 

We entered into a settlement agreement with Logix Development Corporation (“Logix”) in July of 2002 whereby we (i) issued Logix 200,000 shares of our Common Stock (ii) required the Company to make various cash installment payments totaling $175,000 to be paid within 1 year and (iii) executed a contract with Logix for a consulting project in the amount of $50,000.

 

In December 2003, we entered into another settlement agreement with Logix whereby we (i) issued 200,000 free trading shares in exchange for the 200,000 restricted Common Shares from the original settlement agreement in July 2002 (ii) required the Company to make monthly payments totaling $187,500 over a 25 month period and (iii) mutually released each other of all past, present and future claims associated with the lawsuit.

 

Other Litigation

 

We were also involved in various other legal proceedings that are incident to its business. Management believes the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Under the terms of a consulting agreement, and subsequent amendments (which expired on August 31, 2003 but which is automatically renewed each year unless proper notice is given between either party), between Orchard Capital Corporation (“Orchard”) and the Company, Orchard provides the services of Richard S. Ressler as the Company’s Chairman. Orchard is paid a consulting fee of $24,000 per month.  The consulting agreement was renewed through August 31, 2004, and the consulting fee was modified to $12,000 per month.

 

The Company executed a consulting agreement with a member of its Board of Directors, Zohar Loshitzer, for the purpose of providing technology advisory services for the Company at its Process Manufacturing Division.  The consulting agreement commenced in August 2000 and was on a month-to-month basis at the rate of $16,667 per month.  The Company paid Mr. Loshitzer approximately $161,000 in 2001.  As of December 31, 2001 Mr. Loshitzer had completed his services on behalf of the Company.

 

At December 31, 2001, the Company was indebted to its Chief Financial Officer for $94,000 for unreimbursed Company related expenses paid by the Chief Financial Officer on the Company’s behalf.  These expenses mainly relate to the travel costs for the Company’s professional service personnel and were fully paid in 2002.  There were no unreimbursed Company related expenses owed to the our Chief Financial Officer in 2003.
