See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 21st Century Technologies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 (Unaudited) Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: a. Organization and Business Activities 21st Century Technologies, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 15, 1967 as Satcom Corporation. On November 6, 1991, the Company changed its name to Hughes Pharmaceutical Corporation. Subsequent to 1991, the Company changed its name from Hughes Pharmaceutical Corporation to First National Holding Corporation(FNHC) Delaware. The Company became public in 1985 through a merger with International Fluidics Control, Inc. (formerly Sensory Systems, Inc., Training With The Pros, Inc., and/or M-H Studios, Inc.). International Fluidics Control, Inc. successfully completed a public offering of its securities in 1969 under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933. As of December 31, 1985, the Company had liquidated all business operations and began the search for a suitable merger or acquisition candidate. As a result of this action, the Board of Directors approved a quasi-reorganization for accounting purposes, effective January 1, 1986, whereby all accumulated deficits in shareholders' equity were offset against additional paid-in capital and common stock balance sheet accounts to the extent of reducing these accounts to equal the par value of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. During the third quarter of 1994, in conjunction with the execution of a letter of intent to acquire Innovative Weaponry, Inc. (a New Mexico corporation), the Company consummated a plan of merger between FNHC Nevada and FNHC Deleware whereby the Nevada Corporation was the survivor (see below) and changed its corporate name to Innovative Weaponry, Inc. to better reflect its future actions and pending relationship with the acquisition target. On September 15, 1997, the Board of Directors approved a name change to 21st Century Technologies, Inc. Innovative Weaponry, Inc. - New Mexico was incorporated on June 22, 1988 under the laws of the State of New Mexico. The Company was formed for the development and sale of specialized firearms, firearm systems and related equipment. On September 14, 1992, Innovative Weaponry, Inc. filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of New Mexico. Under Chapter 11, certain claims are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as Debtor-in-Possession. On August 19, 1994, IWI-NV (now 21st Century Technologies, Inc.) and IWI-NM entered into a letter of intent whereby IWI-NV would use its unregistered, restricted common stock and cash to satisfy certain obligations of IWI-NM in settlement of IWI-NM's bankruptcy action. On February 1, 1995, the U. S. Bankruptcy Court of the District of New Mexico confirmed the IWI-NM's plan of reorganization. The plan became effective 30 days after its confirmation. IWI-NM became a wholly owned subsidiary of Innovative Weaponry, Inc. (IWI-NV) (formerly First National Holding Corporation) (FNHC Nevada) (now known as 21st Century Technologies, Inc.), a publicly owned company. b. Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. c. Revenue recognition and credit policies: In the normal course of business, the Company sells its goods on "cash in advance" or "cash on delivery", but primarily extends unsecured credit to its customers involved in the retail and wholesale sale of the Company's products. Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to the wholesale or retail purchaser. All products are shipped F.O.B. the Company's facilities. Management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reflects its opinion of amounts, which will eventually become uncollectible. In the event of complete non-performance by the Company's customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding trade accounts receivable balance at the date of non-performance. d. Inventory: Inventory consists of raw materials used in the manufacture of firearm products and finished goods imported for resale. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market value, using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). e. Property and equipment: Property and equipment is recorded at its historical cost. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the asset cost to operations over the estimated useful life (three to seven years) using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are recognized as incurred and are included in operations. f. Income Taxes: The Company uses the asset and liability method as identified in SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. g. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. h. Asset Impairment: The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company prepares an undiscounted estimate of future cash flows for each long-lived asset (excluding production equipment) on an annual basis. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds undiscounted future cash flows expected to be produced by the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. The Company measures the amount of the impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Subsidiary Bankruptcy Excess Reorganization Value is evaluated annually for events or conditions which would indicate impairment. Management estimates cash flows which can be expected for continuing to use the asset and then compares these estimated cash flows to the asset's carrying amount. If the estimated cash flows resulting from continuing to use the asset exceed the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment adjustment is not necessary. There has been no effect as of December 31, 1999 of adopting SFAS 121. i. Stock-Based Compensation: The Company will follow the fair value based method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for its stock-based compensation. The Company currently does not have a stock option plan. j. Principles of Consolidation and Presentation --Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation. k. License Agreement: The License agreement is amortized over the life of the related patent technology (generally 17 years) using the straight-line method. l. Research and Development Costs: The Company expenses any research and development costs in the period which they are incurred. There are no research and development costs incurred in the periods presented. m. Treasury Stock: The Company utilizes the cost method to account for the acquisition of Treasury Stock. n. Basis of Presentation: Financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has been prepared from the books and records without audit. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10QSB and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements, have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999. Note 2: Accounts Receivable On November 6, 1998, Innovative Weaponry received a purchase order from Continental Weapons Ltd for 32,103 Night Sights. Continental was invoiced and a quantity of sights were shipped to South Africa. The balance of the order ( approximately 1,000 sights) has been manufactured and is being held at the Company's manufacturing facility to be installed on the Griffon replica of the Colt 45 as they are received by the Company. The Company is receiving the first 1000 pistols sightless and are invoiced for a pistol without sights. The receivable is decreased by the number of sights used when they are installed on the pistols and income is credited for the sights installed. Due to Continental's inability to ship the entire 1000 pistol order, the receivable was not decreased materially during 1999. The Continental Weapons invoice remains unpaid as of December 31, 1999; however, the Company has negotiated an agreement to sell the receivable for the full invoice value. The sale is scheduled to occur in the second quarter of 2000. 3/31/00 12/31/99 12/31/98 ----------- ---------- ----------- Outstanding Invoice-Continental $ 923,422 $ 923,422 $ 930,987 Note 3: Other Assets License Agreement: In June 1995, Trident, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a license agreement (Agreement) with Trade Partners International, Inc. (TPI) to acquire the exclusive license to certain patent rights conveyed to TPI by The University of California as operators of Los Alamos National Laboratory (patent holder) related to the development, marketing and sales rights to certain specified magnetic and/or magnet technology. The agreed-upon and negotiated value of the Agreement at acquisition date was $75,000. Subsequently, the transaction was re-negotiated and 21st Century acquired all of the common stock of TPI in a Type B reorganization. Trident, as sub-licensee, is obligated to pay a royalty fee of 8.0% on net income (as defined in the Agreement) of products sold using the patented technology. Further, Trident is to pay an annual maintenance fee, which was $24,000 for the third and all subsequent years of the Agreement. All royalty fees paid during a specific year are to be credited to that year's maintenance fee and the maintenance fee requirement is considered met if the royalty payments during an Agreement year are equal to or exceed the required maintenance fee. Trademark: The trademark "PT Night Sights" has been capitalized at cost and is being amortized over 17 years. Bankruptcy excess Re-Organization Cost: Innovative Weaponry, Inc. (IWI) emerged from a bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, effective March 1, 1995. As a result of the Plan of Reorganization, IWI became a wholly owned subsidiary of 21st Century Technologies, Inc. and all prior IWI shareholders retained less that a 50% interest in the combined reorganized entities. In conjunction with IWI's emergence from protection under Chapter 11, IWI adopted "fresh-start" accounting as a result of its acquisition by 21st Century. "Fresh start" accounting allows for the restatement of all assets and liabilities being set to the fair market value of each respective category and the restatement of retained earnings to "0". The resulting amount was debited to the account "Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets". This balance is being amortized over ten (10) years using the straight-line method. The amortization period began on March 1, 1995, concurrent with the effective date of IWI's Plan of Reorganization. The adjustment necessary to reflect the "fresh-start" accounting, as prescribed by Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants reflected a Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets. Note 4: Stockholders' Equity The total number of all classes of authorized capital stock is 200,000,000 shares, all of which are Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 31, 2000, there are 51,667,753 shares of common stock issued. Note 5: Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years 1999 and 1998. There were no common stock equivalents outstanding during the years 1999 and 1998. SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share applies to entities with publicly held common stock and establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Note 6: Income Taxes At December 31, 1999, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,704,715 for federal income tax purposes that begin to expire in 2008. The federal carryforwards resulted from losses generated in prior years and have created a deferred tax asset o $919,603. It is believed to be "more likely than not" that taxable income in the periods prior to the expiration of the deferred tax assets will not be sufficient for the deferred tax assets to be recognized; therefore, a valuation allowance of $919,603 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets. There are no deferred tax liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Note 7: Risks and Uncertainties The Company operates in highly specialized industries. There are only four companies worldwide who manufacture and sell night sights using tritium. The Company ranks number three out of four. The gun sight industry is highly dependent on major firearms manufacturers as well as consumer and governmental demand for weapons. World conditions and economies can affect the future sales of this product. The Company's magnetic and hydraulic-magnetic technologies are largely un-proven and may require additional extensive testing before marketing these products can continue. Demand for these products from governmental and industrial sources is largely estimated and while the Company has studied various markets, no assurance can be given that these products can be successfully marketed. In the future, these products will be marketed outside the United States, which will subject the Company to foreign currency fluctuation risks. The Company's firearm replica and tire sealant import division has not been tested in the U. S. market and the estimated demand for these products may not reach the Company's expectations. Note 8: Fair Values of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The carrying amount of accounts receivable and accounts payable in the balance sheet approximates fair value. Short-Term and Long-Term Debt. The carrying amount of the debts recorded in the balance sheet approximates fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998 represent fair value. Note 9: Comprehensive Income SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. It requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Company's comprehensive income does not differ from its reported net income. Note 10: Business Segments The Company has five business segments: (a) Manufacture of night sights for handguns, (b) Manufacture of "the Gripper", a patented device used for climbing steel surfaces, (c) Manufacture of an Emergency Magnetic-Hydraulic Sea Patch System (d) Importation and resale of firearms and (e) Importation and Distribution of a Tire Sealant product. The majority of the Company's sales are derived from sales of night sights. The other segments sales are not material to these financial statements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS The Company's current revenue is derived from sales of product by its four operating subsidiaries as follows: 1. Innovative Weaponry Incorporated. We kicked-off our marketing efforts for Innovative Weaponry in January 2000 at the Shot Show in Las Vegas, NV. The Shot Show is the largest gun show in the country. We have attended this event for the past three years. Increasing our booth size from 400 square feet to 800 square feet over the previous year, we displayed a new and improved line of PT Night Sights and our sister company's Griffon 1911 Colt 45 replica. We believe that this new and improved line will be ready for production in 2Q00. In past years we rented our booth, but we decided this year to build our own customized booth and display towers for a more professional presentation. The booth and towers were made locally in Las Vegas, NV with a cost equal to one time rental. At future shows we will be able to re-use the booth and towers. We believe that this will add to the continuity of our image from show to show. At the Shot Show, we displayed our new line of lower profile PT Night Sights featuring the design for the Glock handgun. Additional, low profile designs will be added by 2Q00 including those for the Sig, Colt, H&K, Styer, Smith & Wesson and our own Griffon. We believe that low profile sights create less possibility for "snags" on protective gear and clothing. A low profile is also easier to holster since it moves more smoothly throughout all ranges of motion. We also debuted our fixed PT Night Sight for revolvers and a new adjustable "ghost ring" for shot guns. We believe that our line of 20 configurations and multi-color format represented the broadest choices of any manufacturer at the Shot Show. We anticipate making patent applications for a number of our design changes still in research and development in 2Q00. We believe that increased media coverage of our product line will help us increase sales. We have planned on a media campaign commencing in 2Q00 in major circulation gun magazines. 2. Trident Technologies Incorporated. Our wholly owned subsidiary Trident has undergone a change in management during 1999 with the hiring of Douglas N. Spring as President of Trident and Buren Palmer as Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Spring is experienced in hazardous materials or "HAZMAT" prevention and clean-up and Mr. Palmer is experienced in maritime repair and maintenance as a former U.S. Navy SEAL diver. In October 1999, Messrs. Spring and Palmer established an office in Denham Springs, LA which is in close proximity to Baton Rouge, LA and the Gulf Coast shipping and oil storage industries. Under the leadership of Messrs. Douglas and Palmer, we began implementing a research and development project to fundamentally re-design the Sea Patch and to market the Gripper. As originally designed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, the Sea Patch consisted of a series of magnetic pods attached to a circular plate with a flexible sealing gasket on its inner surface. Using cam-on/cam-off technology, the Sea Patch could be affixed to ferrous metal surfaces like a ship's hull or a storage container. Once the Sea Patch was screwed down using cam-on mechanics, its surface plate and flexible seals stopped leaks by exerting a powerful pressure gradient over the damaged surface area thereby off-setting the backward pressure of the leak. Although effective in its original design, our design modifications were driven by the need for a dramatic reduction in weight and the ability to adapt the size of the Sea Patch to "tears, punctures and rips" that came in all sizes. In addition, we began testing a number of Sea Patch designs for application in non-ferrous metal HAZMAT applications such as for highway accidents involving overturned aluminum skinned tanker trucks. Our design changes resulted in a series of hand built Sea Patch models which was then followed by field testing using our own demonstration hull plate and pressure gradient measurement devices. We also sought input from our potential customer base which is composed of HAZMAT personnel, storage facilities, rail car, inland barges and ocean tankers as to what they currently used in emergency and/or repair situations. Using this "anecdotal" and "roll-up" your sleeves methodology, we were able to re-design the Sea Patch into a component kit consisting of a series of strong back bars, locking-pins, and modular magnetic pods. The design innovations when completed will provide us with an expanded product line consisting of pre-built Sea Patches in 6 inch (circular), 12 inch (circular), 36 inch x 4 inch configurations and in a variety of component kit forms. With our expanded product line, we were next able to analyze pricing models for the Sea Patch on both a sale and lease basis. This allows buyers to take into consideration their own budgetary needs selecting anywhere from entry level to a complete inventory of Sea Patch designs. Our objective has been to make the Sea Patch something everyone can initially afford with re-sales coming from old customers expanding design capability through the purchase of kit components. Also, we have integrated the Gripper as one of the kit components. The Gripper whose magnets are worn on the hands and feet gives the under water diver or surface repair crew the added ability to safely reach the point of an accident on the hull of a ship (which is slippery and subject to jarring wave movement). As with any new product, we determined that the Sea Patch had to be independently tested. On February 4, 2000, we obtained "certification" of the Sea Patch from the American Bureau of Shipping (the "ABS"). The ABS is a non-for-profit and non-governmental organization which acts as a self-regulatory agency for the international marine industry. We will continue to test each of our design modifications with the ABS and other maritime testing bodies worldwide to determine structural and technical fitness. In addition, we have believe that industry wide "education" of HAZMAT and maritime industry personnel in how to properly use the Sea Patch is as important as selling the product. We believe that the Sea Patch will be accepted by the HAZMAT and maritime industry following ABS certification and field demonstrations. 3. Griffon USA, Inc. Griffon USA, Inc. ("Griffon"), is an importer and licensee of Continental Weapons (Pty), Inc., a South African manufacturer of a replica 1911 Colt 45 sidearm, rifles and other guns. We continue to market the Griffon at the Shot Show in Las Vegas, NV which was held in conjunction with our Innovative Weaponry subsidiary. Although the Griffon is pre-manufactured for us in South Africa, we have implemented a number of refinements for a "bench made" feel and fit. We believe that this extra level of customizing will add to the appeal and value of the Griffon. We believe further media exposure of the Griffon in leading gun magazines and publications should help increase sales. A media plan is being implemented for 2Q00. 4. TRADE PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL, INC. Trade Partners International, Inc. ("Trade Partners") established a manufacturing alliance with William Baylor, principal of Vee Tubes USA, a bicycle inner tube company, based in Olney, IL. Mr. Baylor is a 25 year veteran in the bike industry. The alliance planned to insert a mono-ethylene glycol and water based product licensed by Trade Partners. The sealant is used to prevent punctures in tube and tubeless tires. Mr. Baylor planned on using tubes manufactured by his parent company and other Southeast Asia manufacturers in Taiwan, Thailand and China. Trade Partners planned on selling the "sealant protected" tubes to vendors in its licensed territory consisting of the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, India and Mexico. The first shipment of sealant was scheduled for January 2000, but was delayed until the end of March 2000 or the first part of April 2000. The sealant is shipped in bulk containers consisting of 220 liters per container. The delay in shipment demonstrated to management the need to manufacture the sealant itself and not rely upon international shipments from South Africa. We have commenced negotiations between Trade Partners and Mr. Baylor to establish a manufacturing facility in Olney, IL consisting of approximately 5,000 square feet with three to five employees for the 2Q00. In addition, we have commenced negotiations with Mr. Baylor to join Trade Partners on a full time basis. The Olney, IL location has been chosen as it is known as the "Bike Town USA" home to Brunswick Bicycle (complete); Marwi USA (pedals, hubs and spokes); Weinman Sports (rims); KHS (European bicycle parts); Sigman Sports (bicycle computers); Magura (hydraulic brakes and forks); Provelo (parts distributor); MLD (oriental bicycle parts); and VP Sports (complete). In addition, Olney, IL is located in a designated Enterprise Zone Community with Foreign Trade Zone #146 status. We believe that overall savings will be achieved by integrating the manufacture of the sealant and insertion into tubes in one facility. High grade bicycle tubes are a "commodity" available from any number of manufacturing sources at prices equal to or lower than those originally quoted by Vee Tubes USA. These savings in cost of goods sold will allow us to be more competitive in our pricing to vendors. REVENUES Our primary source of revenue originated from the sale of PT Night Sights. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, we increased sales of PT Night Sights over the previous periods. However, the sale of PT Night Sights remains subject to variation due to budgetary restraints of our customers who must get pre-approval for purchases from their respective governmental or finance departments. We believe that the bunching of purchase orders is the norm rather than the exception in our line of business and competitors as well. We believe that revenues will improve following the January 2000 Show in Las Vegas, NV since many customers have been awaiting our new design introductions. COST OF SALES Cost of sales for PT Night Sights consists primarily of material and labor costs. Because of the competitive nature of our business individual unit cost is confidential, but our cost of goods sold increased during the quarter because of new design innovations such as the low profile configuration for the Glock and other gun manufacturers. In addition, customizing the Griffon added additional expenses. However, these should be non-recurring expenses in subsequent quarters. MARKETING AND SALES EXPENSE Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of marketing and sales expenditures, including promotional expenses. Our primary expense during the period was our booth at the Shot Show in Las Vegas, NV. Our entire Shot Show expenses were approximately $50,000.00. In addition, we anticipate spending approximately $50,000.00 on print media in the 2Q00 to keep our product circulating among gun enthusiasts. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE General and administrative expense is comprised primarily of compensation and related expenditures for administrative and executive personnel, professional fees associated with legal, consulting, accounting services, and general corporate overhead. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Our cash position, less known commitments and contingencies, plus outside financing received through March 31, 2000, plus cash generated from operations for the balance of fiscal year 2000 should be adequate to fund our on-going operations and to fund the further development of the Sea Patent, including any patent applications. Although we should have improved operating results, we will still require substantial additional capital during fiscal 2000 to go into manufacture and marketing the Sea Patch following design modification and testing. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, cash flow from operations, additional working capital requirements, additional product development expenses and capital expenditures. To the extent existing resources are insufficient to fund our operations in the short- or long-term, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private financings. We may not be able to raise additional financing on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders without substantial dilution of their ownership and rights. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to satisfy either short- or long-term there would be substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern on either a consolidated basis or through continued operation of any subsidiary, and we may be required to significantly curtail our operations, significantly alter our business strategy, forego market opportunities, or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish material rights to certain of our technologies or potential markets.
