ended June 30, 2002:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2002
NET SALES. Net sales increased 10.1% from $373,487 in the second quarter of
2002 to $411,218 in the second quarter of 2003. This increase of $37,731 is
primarily attributable to increased sales to Roadrunner and in sales by the
Licensed Technologies Division. Revenues consisted of $403,417 in sales of
hosting and hourly development services and $7,801 in sales of EKOR, which are
recognized at the time that products are shipped or services are provided.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales includes: cost of materials; salaries for
programmers, technical staff and customer support; as well as a pro-rata
allocation of telecommunications, facilities and data center costs. Cost of
sales increased from $236,837, or 63.4% of revenues, in the second quarter of
2002 to $287,080, or 69.8% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2003. The
increase in the cost of sales is primarily due to expenses incurred with the
start up of the Licensed Technologies Division.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased by $12,512 from $136,650 in the second
quarter of 2002 to $124,138 in the second quarter of 2003. Gross profit margins
decreased from 36.6% during the second quarter of 2002 to 30.2% during the
second quarter of 2003. This decline in gross profit is primarily related to the
increase of cost of sales in support of the Licensed Technologies Division
outpacing the increased revenue from Roadrunner for the quarter.
SALES AND MARKETING. The Company ceased all sales and marketing efforts
related to our Internet Services Division in 2001. There were no such
expenditures in the second quarter of 2002 or 2003. As of the end of the second
quarter of 2003, there have been no expenditures for sales and marketing related
to the Licensed Technologies Division.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. The Company ceased all product development efforts
related to our Internet Services Division in 2001. There were no such
expenditures in the second quarter of 2002 or 2003. As of the end of the second
quarter of 2003, there have been no expenditures for product development related
to the Licensed Technologies Division.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses include
salaries for administrative personnel, insurance and other administrative
expenses, as well as a pro-rata allocation of telecommunications, and facilities
and data center costs. General and administrative expenses decreased from
$187,192 in the second quarter of 2002 to $175,054 in the second quarter of
2003. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses decreased from 50.1% in the
second quarter of 2002 to 42.6% in the second quarter of 2003. This decrease is
primarily due to successful negotiations to reduce the cost of the Company's
internet connections and a one time $42,133 charge taken in 2002.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. With the write down of the carrying value of
all fixed assets in the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company has suspended
depreciation of its remaining assets in anticipation of a sale. There were no
charges recognized in the second quarter of 2002 or 2003.
OTHER INCOME. Other income in the second quarter of 2003 consisted of
$1,130 in interest earned on money market accounts, $1,233 in interest expense
on the notes related to the Licensed Technologies Division and $18,388 in the
reversal of accruals related to defaults on the lease for our Atlanta offices
during the third quarter of 2001 and other accruals which were resolved at a
lower cost than estimated.
