AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1 - Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business On December 6, 1995, AutoInfo, Inc. (the "Company"), through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the operating assets of FALK Finance Company (FFC), a Norfolk, Virginia based specialized financial services company. As a result of this acquisition, the Company's primary business is to purchase non-prime automobile retail installment contracts from new and used automobile dealers. The Company services these dealers by providing specialized financing programs for buyers who typically have impaired credit histories and are unable to access traditional sources of available consumer credit. During the fiscal year ended May 31,1995 and on July 20, 1995, the Company sold substantially all of its operating assets for $34,100,000 in cash in two separate transactions. As a result, the Company's sole operating business which remained provides long distance telephone communications services. The long distance telephone communication service is marketed to over 1,400 customers through an independent commissioned sales force. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Installment Contracts Receivable Installment contracts receivable represent retail installment sales contracts purchased from new and used automobile dealers at discounts ranging from 10% to 20%. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company established an allowance for credit losses in the acquired portfolio as of the date of acquisition based upon an evaluation of a number of factors including prior loss experience, contractual delinquencies, the value of underlying collateral and other factors. All discounts on the purchase of installment contracts from dealers are added to the allowance. The allowance is evaluated for adequacy based upon estimated future losses inherent in the existing finance receivable portfolio. A provision for losses, if any, is charged to income in order to maintain the allowance at an adequate level. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes interest income from installment contracts receivable on the interest method. The accrual of interest income is suspended when a loan is ninety days contractually delinquent. All discounts on the purchase of installment contracts from dealers are held in reserve and are considered to cover future anticipated credit losses. The Company recognizes revenue from long distance telephone communications services as services are rendered. Goodwill and Other Intangibles The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill and other intangibles and is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of up to twenty years. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company adopted SFAS No.121 to evaluate the carrying amount of Goodwill commencing with the period ended December 31, 1995 and no impairment of Goodwill existed as of December 31, 1995 or March 31, 1996. 6 Fiscal Year On February 28, 1996, the Company made an election to change its fiscal year-end from May 31 to December 31. The Company believes that this change will provide shareholders with information on a basis more comparable to other public entities in the specialized automobile finance industry. The Company will continue to present the most comparable prior year fiscal period, the three months ended February 28, 1995 for this Form 10-Q Report. Note 2 - General The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and February 28, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the financial statement and footnotes thereto included in the Company's transition period report on Form 10-K for the seven month period ended December 31, 1995. Note 3 - Marketable Securities Effective June 1, 1994, the Company, as required, adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This pronouncement establishes the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. This statement supersedes Statement No. 12 "Accounting for Certain Marketable Securities". In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 115, debt and equity securities used as part of the Company's investment management that may be sold in response to cash needs, changes in interest rates, and other factors have been classified as securities available for sale. Such securities are reported at cost which approximates fair value and have maturities of less than one year and included common stock and bond funds ($3,635,831 as of March 31, 1996 and $3,613,394 as of December 31, 1995), money market instruments ($3,344,949 as of March 31, 1996 and $4,585,558 as of December 31, 1995) and municipal bonds ($8,783,917 as of March 31, 1996 and $15,727,507 as of December 31, 1995). As of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, unrealized gains and losses were not material. Unrealized gains and losses, if material, would be excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, there were no material gains or losses arising from the disposition of marketable securities. Gains and losses on disposition of securities are recognized on the specific identification method in the period in which they occur. Note 4 - Installment Contracts Receivable The following is a summary of Installment contracts receivable as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995: March 31, December 31, 1996 1995 ------------ ------------ Gross installment contracts receivable $ 51,820,540 $ 44,070,860 Less: Unearned finance charges and fees (14,523,874) (12,178,807) Less: Allowance for credit losses (6,026,544) (6,818,195) ------------ ------------ Installment contracts receivable, net $ 31,270,122 $ 25,073,858 ------------ ------------ 7 AUTOINFO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's liquid assets amounted to $15.8 million as of March 31, 1996. The Company has sufficient liquid assets to meet its short and long term capital requirements. The total amount of debt outstanding as of March 31, 1996 was $31.1 million, none of which is due in less that one year. This debt was comprised of a senior credit facility of $20.7 million and subordinated notes of $8.2 million included in the liabilities assumed with the acquisition of FFC in December 1995, and $2 million of subordinated notes issued by the Company in January 1994. The Company retired $1.6 million of subordinated notes during the three months ended March 31, 1996. The Company has adequate resources to meet these obligations. Inflation and changing prices had no material impact on revenues or the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. There are no trends or commitments which may have an impact on the Company's liquidity. Installment contracts receivable increased by approximately $6.2 million in the three month period ended March 31, 1996 as a result of an increase in the number of contracts purchased from dealers due to the Company's expanded marketing program initiated during the quarter. Short term investments decrease by approximately $8.2 million as a direct result of funding the Company's growth in installment contract receivable and the retirement of $1.6 million in subordinated notes. Results of Operations On April 1, 1995, the Company consummated the sale of certain assets, net of certain liabilities, constituting the operating assets of the Orion Network, Compass Network, Checkmate Computer Systems, and Insurance Parts Locator businesses. On July 20, 1995, the Company consummated the sale of the operating assets of its insurance inspection services business. The Results of Operations of these businesses has been classified as discontinued operations. On December 6, 1995, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the operating assets of FALK Finance Company (FFC), a Norfolk, Virginia based specialized financial services company. As a result of this acquisition, the Company's primary business is to purchase non-prime automobile retail installment contracts from new and used automobile dealers. The Company services these dealers by providing specialized financing programs for buyers who typically have impaired credit histories and are unable to access traditional sources of available consumer credit. On February 28, 1996, the Company made an election to change its fiscal year-end from May 31 to December 31. The Company believes that this change will provide shareholders with information on a basis more comparable to other public entities in the specialized automobile finance industry. The Company will continue to present the most comparable prior year fiscal period, the three months ended February 28, 1995 for this Form 10-Q Report. The Company's continuing operations consist of its non-prime automobile finance business and its long distance telephone services business. Except as otherwise noted, the following discussion of the results of operations is with respect to the Company's continuing operations. Due to this change in both operations and fiscal`periods, the following discussion and analysis focuses on the current quarter ended March 31, 1996. 8 Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Revenues Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were derived from the non-prime automobile finance business ($2,330,571), the long-distance telephone service business ($143,066) and investment income ($284,406). Net Interest Income on Automobile Installment Contracts Receivable The Company's principal revenue source is the net interest income, or net spread, earned on its automobile installment contracts receivable. This net spread is the differential between interest income received on loans receivable and the interest expense on related loans payable. The following table summarizes the pertinent data on the Company's automobile contracts receivable portfolio for the three month period ended March 31, 1996: Average loans receivable $ 33,905,000 Average loan payable 29,737,000 ------------ Interest income $ 2,259,000 Interest expense 784,000 ------------ Net interest income $ 1,475,000 ------------ (1) Yield on loans 26.7% ------------ Cost of funds 10.5% ------------ Net interest spread 16.2% ------------ Net interest margin (2) 17.4% ------------ (1) Percentages are presented on an annualized basis (2) Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average loans outstanding Costs and Expenses Interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $822,000 and primarily related to the debt outstanding under the Company's senior credit facility ($20.7 million as of March 31, 1996) and subordinated notes ($10.2 million as of March 31, 1996). Operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $1,215,000 and consisted primarily of the operating expenses of the non-prime automobile finance business and corporate overhead. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $237,000 and consisted primarily of the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the acquisition of FFC in December 1995. Income from operations Income from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $486,000. Income taxes were $84,000, or an effective tax rate of 6% as a result of a substantial portion of the Company's investment income being derived from instruments exempt from federal taxation. 9 Installment contracts receivable The following table provides information regarding the Company's allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 1996: Allowance for loan losses $ 6,027,000 Percentage of outstanding installment contracts 16.2% The following table summarizes the Company's delinquent accounts that are more than 60 days delinquent as of March 31, 1996: Amount % (1) ----------- ---- 60 to 89 days delinquent $ 2,220,000 4.4% 90 days or more delinquent 1,174,000 2.4% ----------- ---- Total delinquent loans $ 3,394,000 6.8% ----------- ---- (1) All percentages are gross loans outstanding and are presented on an annualized basis Management has reviewed its past due loans and repossessed collateral as of March 31, 1996 and, in management's opinion, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses in the portfolio. 10 AUTOINFO, INC.
