AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION - --------------------------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 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. Certain prior year balances have been changed to conform to the current period presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 and annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. NOTE 2 DISCONTINUANCE OF SWITCH BUSINESS - --------------------------------------- In May 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan that provides for the discontinuance and disposal of the DSS Switch segment of the business, which includes Coyote Technologies, LLC, Coyote Communications Services, LLC and TelecomAlliance. As a result, the Company has reported the operations of the DSS Switch business separately as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Also the assets and liabilities of this segment are presented separately and summarized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows (dollars in thousands):
December 31, 1999 March 31, 1999 ----------------- -------------- (Unaudited) Current assets: Accounts receivable $1,453 $3,390 Inventory 5,749 2,130 Accrued liabilities (969) (474) ------- ------- Net current assets of discontinued operations $6,233 $5,046 ====== ====== Property and equipment, net $2,245 $2,763 Capitalized software development and Net long-term assets of discontinued operations $7,216 $7,683 ====== ======
Expected operating results relating to the discontinued operations from April 1, 2000 until the expected disposal date will be included in the estimated loss on disposal. The Company recorded a charge for estimated loss on disposal of the switch business of approximately $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, which includes an estimated $3.0 million of expected losses of the segment for the first two quarters of fiscal 2001. The Company expects to dispose of the segment near the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001. 4 The Company has reflected certain reclassifications to net sales as previously reported to reflect the deferral of revenue (1) for shipments to non-credit worthy customers which were previously recorded as revenue upon shipment and (2) for the contingencies discussed in revenue recognition in Note 1 in the March 31, 2000 Form 10-K. These reclassifications reduced sales and cost of sales by equal amounts and did not affect net income, as the margins were fully reserved for upon shipment. All non-credit worthy customers who received shipments during the first three quarters of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, obtained third party lease financing prior to the end of the respective fiscal year except for shipments totaling approximately $650,000 in fiscal 2000. Warrants given as incentives to third party leasing companies are presented as reductions of net sales. The operating results relating to the above discontinued segments are as follows (dollars in thousands):

After the decision to discontinue the switch business, the Company is operating in only one segment, long distance services. 1996 - 1997 Restructuring - ------------------------- In November 1996 (and revised in February 1997), the Board of Directors of Coyote Network Systems, Inc. (the "Company") approved a restructuring plan (the "Restructuring") to separate its telecom switching equipment business (the "CTL Business") from the following businesses: Segment Company ------- ------- Telecommunications equipment distribution C&L Wire installation and service Valley Wholesale distribution of meat and seafood Entree/APC On February 3, 1997, the Company sold a majority of the assets of APC to Colorado Boxed Beef Company. On November 20, 1997, the Company sold its telecommunications equipment distributor subsidiary, C&L Communications, Inc. ("C&L"), to the management of C&L. In March 1998, the Company sold its 80% owned wire installation and service subsidiary, Valley Communications Inc., to Technology Services Corporation. As of June 18, 1999, the Company had collected all cash related to the sale of discontinued operations of the meat and seafood segment except $410,000 due under a note and the Company's only remaining asset of discontinued operations was real estate related to the land and buildings of the discontinued APC operation. Based upon an estimate of the market value of the real estate, the Company took an additional charge of $900,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. This charge is included in the loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The asset book value as of March 31, 1999 was $234,000, net of mortgages and reserves applicable to the property. This value is included in the net long-term assets of discontinued operations as of March 31, 1999. 5 Prior to the sale of the land and buildings in July 1999, additional expenses of $314,000 were incurred related to property taxes. These costs are included in the loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ($314,000) ended December 31, 1999. NOTE 3 DISPOSITION OF ASSETS - ------------------------------------------------ On October 27, 1999, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated September 30, 1999, among the Company, American Gateway Telecommunications, Inc. ("AGTI"), Coyote Gateway, LLC d/b/a American Gateway Telecommunications, ("AGT"), Prinvest Corp. ("PVC"), Prinvest Financial Corp. ("PFC"; together with PVC, "Prinvest") and Arnold A. Salinas ("Salinas"), the Company sold its approximately 80% membership interest in AGT to AGT's remaining member, AGTI, which previously held an approximately 20% membership interest in AGT (the "Sale"). As specified in the Purchase Agreement, the sale was effective on September 30, 1999 and AGTI established 100% control of the business as of that date. The book value of AGT's assets and liabilities as at September 30, 1999 was as follows (dollars in thousands): Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 80 Receivables 389 Prepaid and other current assets 3,471 ------- Total current assets 3,940 Property and equipment, net 1,294 Intangible assets, net 116 ------- Total assets $ 5,350 ======= Current liabilities Accounts payable $ 969 Other accrued liabilities 339 ------- Total current liabilities 1,308 Notes payable 10,251 Members equity (deficit) Capital contributed 795 Accumulated deficit (7,004) ------- Total equity (deficit) (6,209) ------- $ 5,350 ======= In consideration for the Sale, the Company is entitled to receive, for 18 months after the Sale, a monthly margin participation payment from AGT equal to $0.0025 per minute of telecommunications traffic switched or routed by AGT through AGT's telecommunications network, which the Company estimates will be less than $50,000 and will record any such revenue upon receipt. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, AGT remained directly liable for its $10.2 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Prinvest, whose affiliate owns 53.75% of AGTI. The Company has been relieved of its obligations under its pledge agreement with Prinvest which secured the Credit Facility and, in connection therewith, Prinvest has returned to the Company the 708,692 treasury shares of the Company's common stock which had been pledged by the Company as collateral for the Credit Facility. In addition, as a result of the Sale, the Company is no longer required to reflect the Credit Facility on its consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $6,209,000 from the Sale in the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The Company did not receive any immediate cash payments as a result of the Sale. 6 In addition, for the 18 months after the Sale, the Company will be the exclusive supplier of telecommunications switches to AGT; AGT will receive a fifty percent purchase discount on all Company-manufactured switches it purchases from the Company during this time period. As of July 10, 2000, the Company has not received any switch purchase orders from AGT and does not anticipate any. Coyote Communications Services, LLC, an affiliate included in discontinued operations, will continue to provide maintenance and technical support services to AGT on a month-to-month renewable basis, pursuant to the parties' existing maintenance and servicing agreement. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999, sales, operating losses, depreciation and capital expenditures of $425,000, $1,602,000, $59,000 and $346,000, respectively, of Coyote Gateway are included in the Company's long distance services business. The identifiable assets as at December 31, 1999, however, exclude the assets of Coyote Gateway. NOTE 4 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - ------------------------------------------------ Options and Warrants - ----------------------- During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Board of Directors granted five-year options to purchase a total of 308,481 shares of the Company's common stock to certain employees. The per share exercise prices of these grants is equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant and range from $4.00 to $4.625. These options vest in one-third increments over three years. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, in consideration for administrative consulting services, the Board of Directors granted to certain outside consultants fully vested options to purchase 212,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and 55,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.50 per share and a three-month term. The per share exercise prices of these grants is equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. A fair market value of $224,000 was recorded as administrative expense for these options. The fair market value was determined using the Black Scholes model. In December 1999, two employees, David Held and Bruce Thomas, converted their holdings of 500 Class B Units into 275,624 shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with the terms of conversion available to the holders. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, a total of 524,979 options were exercised which resulted in proceeds of $2.3 million. These exercises were in accordance with the terms of the Coyote Technologies Employees Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and Company common stock was issued for that number of common shares. NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - ---------------------------------------------------- In September, October and November 1999, the Company completed and received funding under a series of two demand loans. The first loan for a total amount of $600,000 was provided to the Company by Mr. Fiedler in the amount of $175,000, by Mr. Latham in the amount of $75,000 and by Mr. Alan J. Andreini, a shareholder of the Company, in the amount of $350,000 in October 1999. This loan bore interest at bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1999) plus 1% per year, was repayable on demand and was secured against the Company's investment in Systeam, S.p.A. 7 The second loan for a total amount of $1,225,000 was provided to the Company by Mr. Richard L. Haydon, a shareholder of the Company, in the amount of $500,000, by Mr. Alan J. Andreini in the amount of $225,000 and by three other shareholders in a combined total amount of $500,000 in November 1999. This loan bore interest at the rate of 17.5% per year and was repayable, on demand by the lenders, no earlier than March 31, 2000. The maximum term of the loan was three years to November 2002. This loan was secured by a pledge of shares of the common stock of INET Interactive Network System, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of this loan, the lenders were granted, pro-rata, a combined total of 73,500 three-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The warrants resulted in a non-cash interest expense charge of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Of the above funding, $475,000 was received by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and $1,350,000 was received by the Company during October and November 1999. These borrowings together with the accrued interest were fully repaid in February and April 2000. In January 2000, the Company restructured its management and business strategy. On January 14, 2000 the Company issued options to Mr. James R. McCullough, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director, to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share. The closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant was $5.50. Three hundred thousand options vested upon grant, with the remaining options vesting in one-third increments over three years, beginning January 14, 2001, subject to acceleration if certain common stock price targets are met and sustained. On January 26, 2000, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with KRJ, LLC. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, KRJ provided assistance in identifying strategic partners and business opportunities, making introductions to IP Telephony customers, introducing new management, restructuring vendor finance programs, investor relations, and identifying credit facilities. As compensation for services KRJ provided to the Company on or prior to January 26, 2000, the Company issued to KRJ 2,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares are non-forfeitable. Of such shares, 1,250,000 were placed in escrow to be released to KRJ in three equal annual installments, subject to acceleration if certain common stock price targets are met and sustained. In March 2000, 416,000 shares were released from escrow as one of the common stock price targets was met and sustained. In addition, unless there is a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Consulting Agreement), KRJ agreed not to sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the 2,000,000 shares for a period 12 months after the respective dates of delivery of any of such shares. The Company waived this restriction in connection with certain share transfers made in March and April 2000 by KRJ. Mr. McCullough has an approximately one-third interest in KRJ and the balance of KRJ is owned by affiliates of First Venture Leasing, LLC ("First Venture"). First Venture is an entity in which Mr. James McCullough, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a director, had a 25% equity interest, which he relinquished effective upon his election to the Company's Board of Directors on February 2, 2000. The Consulting Agreement also provides that over the next three years, KRJ will provide assistance in further identification of additional business opportunities both in the domestic and international markets. Compensation for these additional services will be specifically negotiated at a future date. The Consulting Agreement has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors and the terms of the agreement with KRJ were the result of arms' length negotiation in which Mr. McCullough did not participate. In connection with the issuance of the 2,000,000 shares to KRJ, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash charge to earnings of approximately $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. 8 The Company and its subsidiary, Coyote Technologies, LLC, entered into a Financial Services Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2000 and amended on February 2, 2000, with First Venture and Coyote Leasing, LLC pursuant to which Coyote Leasing would be the Company's and Coyote Technologies' preferred but nonexclusive source for offering certain leasing and credit packages to their customers. In connection with the Financial Services Agreement, on January 26, 2000, the Company and Coyote Technologies entered into a Remarketing Agreement with Coyote Leasing. Under the Remarketing Agreement, Coyote Leasing appointed the Company and Coyote Technologies as its agent to remarket Coyote Leasing's equipment, on a non-priority basis, upon termination of its leases of such equipment to end users. All costs of refurbishing and updating the equipment would be paid by Coyote Leasing. In addition, all actual selling costs, including but not limited to installation, de-installation, sales commissions, brokerage fees, transportation, storage, insurance and legal fees must be paid to Coyote Technologies out of the first proceeds of any sale. Coyote Leasing also agreed to pay Coyote Technologies a remarketing fee of 25% of the proceeds remaining after payment or credit to Coyote Leasing of any amounts due but unpaid under user leases and reimbursement of its actual costs. On January 26, 2000, the Company and Coyote Technologies each also entered into a License Agreement with Coyote Leasing, pursuant to which each granted Coyote Leasing an exclusive, perpetual, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to use certain trademarks, service marks, trade names and other designations in connection with the services to be provided by Coyote Leasing under the Financial Services Agreement. On March 31, 2000, the Company and Coyote Technologies entered into a new Financial Services Agreement with First Venture, which terminated the January Financial Services Agreement, Remarketing Agreement and License Agreements. Under the new Financial Services Agreement, First Venture committed to fully fund leases, without any holdbacks, for customers in the amount of at least $50 million during calendar year 2000. First Venture also agreed to use its best efforts to originate leases for products with a value of at least $50 million during 2000. Coyote Technologies agreed to provide, upon First Venture's request prior to funding a customer, a guaranty of customer lease payments in the form of cash or a letter of credit to First Venture in an amount not less than 10% of the value of the products leased. As partial consideration for First Venture's commitment to fund at least $50 million in leases for the Company and to purchase $14.27 million of accounts receivable of Coyote Technologies, the Company issued to First Venture warrants to purchase 620,000 shares and 261,600 shares of common stock at $5.00 and $7.35, respectively, per share. The closing price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant, March 31, 2000, was $11.00. The warrants were vested upon grant, are non-forfeitable and have a three-year term. Accordingly, based upon the measurement date of March 31, 2000, the Company recorded a fair value of the warrants of $6,673,000 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions utilized in the model were: Stock price $11.00 Term 3 years Exercise prices $5.00 and $7.35 Volatility 101.5% Discount rate 5.95% Illiquidity discount 10% 9 This amount was classified as a reduction of the discontinued switch equipment sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 and reflected in the loss on discontinued operations. First Venture paid the Company cash in the amounts of $10.0 million in March and $1.5 million in April for the accounts receivable, with the remaining balance of $2.77 million held back as a cash guaranty of such receivables. Such balance will be due and payable to the Company based upon the performance of the leases to which the receivables relate and therefore has not been recorded as revenue. Also on March 31, 2000, Coyote Technologies entered into a new Remarketing Agreement with First Venture Leasing. Under the new Remarketing Agreement, First Venture appointed Coyote Technologies as its exclusive remarketing agent. Coyote Technologies agreed to perform the remarketing services on a non-priority basis. All costs of refurbishing and updating the equipment will be paid by First Venture. In addition, all actual selling costs, including but not limited to installation, de-installation, sales commissions, brokerage fees, transportation, storage, insurance and legal fees must be paid to Coyote Technologies out of the first proceeds of any sale. The balance of the proceeds will be paid to First Venture. The terms of the agreements with First Venture and Coyote Leasing were the result of arms' length negotiations in which Mr. McCullough did not participate. The agreements with First Venture and Coyote Leasing were approved by the Company's Board of Directors. See Note 7, paragraph 3 regarding a repricing of options held by Messrs. Fiedler and Latham. In June 2000 in consideration of additional services provided under the consulting agreement with KRJ, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to present for shareholder approval the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock and the grant of warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $7.00. The vesting of the shares and the exercisability of the warrants would be dependent on the average bid price of our common stock exceeding certain amounts that range from $12 to $30 per share. The Company will determine the charge to earnings, if any, if and when shareholder approval is obtained. In June 2000 the Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase an additional 750,000 shares of Common Stock to James McCullough, CEO at $7.00 per share. The exercisability of the options is dependent on the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock exceeding certain amounts ranging from $12.00 to $20.00 per share. All options will vest if Mr. McCullough is terminated without cause or there is a change in control of the Company (other than as a result of the HomeAccess Merger described in Note 8, paragraph 7). NOTE 6 LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - --------------------------------------------- The basic loss per common share is determined by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per common share is equal to the basic loss per share for all periods due to the loss from continuing operations as the effect of options and warrants would be antidilutive. The beneficial conversion feature ($1.05 million) applicable to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been accounted for as a dividend to Series A Convertible Preferred shareholders and has been recorded from the date of the Series A sale through to the earliest date the preferred shareholders could 10 convert into common stock (September 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998). In computing the earnings or net loss per share applicable to common stock shareholders, all dividends on preferred stock have been deducted from the earnings or added to the losses to arrive at the earnings or losses applicable to common shares as follows:
3 Months Ended 9 Months Ended ------------------------------- -------------------------------- Dec. 31, 1999 Dec. 31, 1998 Dec. 31, 1999 Dec. 31, 1998 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Net loss $(5,042) $(4,106) $(8,245) $(6,534) Beneficial conversion feature --- (788) --- (1,050) Preferred dividend (72) (88) (226) (117) -------- -------- -------- -------- $(5,114) $(4,982) $(8,471) $(7,701) ======== ======== ======== ========
NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - --------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the subsequent events discussed elsewhere, the following events have occurred subsequent to December 31, 1999: 1. In December 1999 and January 2000, JNC Opportunity Fund Ltd., the holder of 600 shares of 5% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, converted a total of 356 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and accrued dividends into shares of the Company's common stock. A total of 626,835 shares of common stock were issued. 2. In January and February 2000, the Company entered into a private placement agreement and sold 3,157,895 shares of 6% Series B Preferred Stock, par value $1.00, with a liquidation value of $4.75 per share. Total cash received by the Company was $14,142,000 after payment of $858,000 in fees and expenses associated with the sale. Sunrise Securities Corp., the placement agent, received a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the sale, consisting of $718,500 cash and 75,000 shares of common stock, plus reimbursement for expenses. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights. At their option, and at any time, the holders may convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.75 per share. Based upon the market value of the common stock (weighted average value of $8.99 per share) on the dates of the issuances of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion price of $4.75 per share represented a discount from market of approximately $4.24 per share. As a result of this discount from market, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $13,388,000 which has been accounted for as a dividend to preferred shareholders recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The holders are entitled to receive 6% cumulative dividends per year commencing 90 days from the date of the original issue. However, such dividends will not be paid until all amounts then due to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid. No dividends can be paid or declared on any common stock unless full cash dividends, including past dividends declared, have been paid on the Preferred Stock. At any time after the trading price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $10 for twenty consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at $4.75 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends. 3. In January 2000, the Board of Directors approved a re-pricing of options to purchase 94,500 shares each awarded to Mr. Fiedler and Mr. Latham from an exercise price of $6.969 per share to $5.00 per share. The awards are subject to shareholder approval of the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan at the annual meeting of stockholders. Upon approval, a charge will be 11 recorded in general and administrative expense if, and to the extent that the market price on the date of stockholder approval (the measurement date) exceeds the new exercise price of $5.00 per share. 4. In February 2000, the Company sold its approximately 9% interest in Systeam, S.p.A. for $1.2 million in cash. A gain on the sale of $0.4 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. 5. On April 30, 2000, the Company purchased certain assets, consisting of a customer base of approximately 4,000 residential and small business long distance customers (the "Matrix Base") from Group Long Distance, Inc., or GLDI, a non-facilities based reseller of long distance services to more than 15,000 small and medium-sized businesses and residential customers. The Company paid the purchase price for the Matrix Base with $50,000 in cash and a promissory note in the principal amount of $950,000 bearing interest at 8%, payable monthly, maturing April 30, 2002, secured by the assets sold. On May 1, 2000, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with GLDI pursuant to which a subsidiary of the Company would merge into GLDI. The Company will issue 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock (subject to adjustment based upon the trading price of the common stock prior to closing) to GLDI's shareholders upon the consummation of the merger. The merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval of the GLDI shareholders and effectiveness of a registration statement registering the 750,000 shares to be issued. 6. In May 2000, the Board of Directors approved a plan that included the discontinuance of the Company's switch business. The financial statements have been restated to present the operations of the switch business as discontinued operations (see Note 2.) 7. On May 10, 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, subsequently amended on May 26, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), under which the Company agreed to acquire Primary Knowledge, Inc., a California corporation in the process of changing its name to HomeAccess MicroWeb, Inc. ("HomeAccess"). HomeAccess is a developer of local community on-line exchange services that are expected to enable customers to select, order and pay for products and services on-line from local merchants using personal computers or less expensive screen phones. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company has agreed to issue 1,384,178 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and between 3,229,747 and 4,556,250 shares of Common Stock (dependent upon the price of the Common Stock on the closing date) to the stockholders of HomeAccess. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into between 1,952,679 and 1,384,178 shares of Common Stock, dependent upon the price of the Common Stock on the closing date. For a period of four years after consummation of the merger, the Company has agreed to issue to the shareholders of HomeAccess, collectively, two shares of Common Stock for each new customer acquired by HomeAccess; provided the customer has been preapproved by the Company and has met certain performance criteria. In no event will the maximum number of shares issued under this program exceed 13% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, on the closing date. The Company has also agreed to issue a warrant to purchase up to 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $20 per share if certain performance criteria are met. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to certain contingencies, including stockholder approval. 8. The Company entered into a letter of intent effective May 6, 2000 to acquire Ariana, Inc., an international and domestic long distance carrier, through the issuance of 441,175 shares of Common Stock. The Company could issue additional shares of Common Stock valued at up to $3.0 million if earn-out targets are met. 12 9. The Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements dated June 1, 2000 to acquire PolyLink Gateway International and PolyLink Development, Ltd., two Hong Kong based telecommunications providers under common ownership, for an aggregate of 258,064 shares of Common Stock and a $250,000 cash payment, plus an additional cash payment of $250,000 if an earn-out event occurs. 10. See Note 5 regarding the Financial Services and Remarketing Agreements the Company entered into with First Venture, First Venture's purchase of $14.27 million of the Company's accounts receivable and the issuance of warrants to First Venture. 11. See Note 5 regarding 2,000,000 shares issued to KRJ, LLC and the $12.6 million charge taken in connection therewith and Board approval to present for a vote of the Company's stockholders an additional 2,500,000 shares and warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares. 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General - ------------------------------------ Discontinuance of Switch Segment In May 2000, we decided to discontinue and dispose of our switch business including the manufacture, development, sale and service of DSS Switches and IP Gateway equipment. Prior to the May 2000 decision, this segment was our largest segment in terms of revenues. Expected operating results relating to the discontinued operations from April 1, 2000 until the expected disposal date will be included in the estimated loss on disposal. We recorded a charge for estimated loss on disposal of the switch business of approximately $11.0 million in the fourth quarter fiscal 2000, which includes an estimated $3.0 million of expected losses of the segment for the first two quarters of fiscal 2001. We expect to dispose of the segment near the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Following this decision to discontinue the operations of the telecommunications switching business, our business is reported for as one continuing operating segment, long distance services. As a result of the discontinuances, dispositions, acquisitions and other events described above, the comparison of year-to-year results may not be meaningful. Results of Operations - --------------------- The results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 and the comparative historical results have been restated to reflect the operations of our DSS Switch business segment separately as discontinued operations. The following discussion relates to the continuing operations of the long distance services and our corporate administration offices. The long distance services business was comprised of two subsidiaries: AGT, which was acquired in April 1998 and sold effective September 1999; and INET, which was acquired in September 1998. Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 versus Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The continuing operations of the two international long distance service subsidiaries that were acquired during fiscal 1999 generated revenues of $2.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $4.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 29%. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease of $1.9 million of revenues from AGT between the two periods as a result of its sale effective September 1999. Revenues of INET between the two periods increased by $0.7 million, or 32%, primarily due to increased sales from international long distance services provided to Asia. Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were $2.6 million, compared to $3.7 million for the prior quarter, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 31%. The decrease in cost of sales primarily results from the sale of AGT effective September 1999 offset by increases in cost of sales of INET of $0.6 million, or 30%, due to the increase in the volume of traffic carried. Gross profit on the continuing long distance services was $0.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and of fiscal 1999. The slight improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to more utilization of the fixed costs of the INET switching equipment. 14 Selling and administrative expenses of the continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were $2.0 million, compared to $2.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 15%. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of AGT effective September 1999 and reductions in corporate marketing and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were 68%, compared to 57% for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $1.7 million, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 16%. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses described above. Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $0.4 million, compared to $0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The increased expense resulted primarily from a $6.3 million increase in notes payable. Loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $2.1 million, compared to $2.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 5%. The decrease resulted primarily from the reduced level of selling and administrative expenses discussed above. The loss from discontinued operations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2000 was $3.0 million, compared to $1.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of $1.1 million or 54%. This increase was primarily due to decreases in revenues of $0.6 million for the period, resulting from a lack of orders from creditworthy customers and delays experienced by our customers in obtaining third party lease financing. The decrease in demand for our circuit-based switch product is partly due to our customers' demand for a product that has an integrated Internet Protocol, which the customers view as more competitively priced. Demand has also been limited by reductions in the international long distance rates which have reduced the potential profitability of small and medium sized carriers and hindered their ability to readily obtain third party lease financing. During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, we shipped switching equipment valued at $3.5 million to customers who were in the process of obtaining third party lease financing. These customers agreed to pay for the equipment pursuant to promissory notes payable over three years, secured by the equipment. Because these customers are not considered creditworthy, these sales will not be recognized until the customers obtain lease financing or payments are received pursuant to the notes. Revenues of $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 are attributable to these customers obtaining lease financing and for which we received payment in March and April 2000. Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 versus Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The continuing operations acquired during fiscal 1999 generated revenues of $7.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $4.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $2.3 million, or 47%. This increase was primarily due to $4.6 million of revenues generated through INET, which was acquired in September 1998, offset by a decrease in revenues of $2.3 million for AGT. The decrease in revenues of AGT primarily results from its sale effective September 1999. Cost of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $6.1 million, compared to $4.8 million for the prior period, an increase of $1.3 million, or 27%. The increase in cost of sales primarily results from our acquisition of INET and also reflects the increase in the sales volume, offset by decreases in cost of sales of AGT resulting from its sale. 15 Gross profit on the continuing long distance services for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $1.1 million, compared to $0.1 million for the prior period. The improvement in gross profit was primarily due to the increases in revenue generated by INET, with improved margins from the more profitable international traffic to Asia. Selling and administrative expenses of the continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $7.6 million, compared to $4.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $2.7 million, or 54%. This increase was primarily related to the additional selling and administrative expenses incurred by INET which was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, offset by the reduction in expenses related to AGT, which was sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The operating loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $6.5 million, compared to $4.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $1.7 million, or 34%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in selling and administrative expenses described above offset by the improvement in gross profit. Interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $1.0 million, compared to $0.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The increased expense results from a $6.3 million increase in notes payable due to borrowings required to support the working capital requirements of AGT and a $0.3 increase in borrowings under a line of credit. Non-operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $6.3 million, compared to non-operating expense of $0.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Non-operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 included a $6.2 million non-cash gain recorded on our sale of AGT. Non-operating expense in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 consisted primarily of losses on the sale of marketable securities. Loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $1.2 million, compared to $5.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $4.1 million or 78%. The decrease resulted primarily from the $6.2 million non-cash gain from the sale of AGT and the other reasons discussed above. The loss from discontinued operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000 was $7.1 million, compared to $1.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $5.9 million. This increase was primarily due to decreases in revenues of $16.1 million for the period. This decrease is mainly due to delays continuing to be experienced by our customers in obtaining third party lease financing. The decrease in demand for our circuit-based switch product is partly due to our customers' demand for a product that has an integrated Internet Protocol, which the customers view as more competitively priced. Demand has also been limited by reductions in the international long distance rates which have reduced the potential profitability of small and medium sized carriers and hindered their ability to readily obtain third party lease financing. During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, we shipped switching equipment valued at $15.2 million to customers who were in the process of obtaining third party lease financing. These customers agreed to pay for the equipment pursuant to promissory notes payable over three years, secured by the equipment. Because these customers are not considered creditworthy, these sales will not be recognized until the customers obtain lease financing or payments are received pursuant to the notes. Revenues of $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 are attributable to these customers obtaining lease financing and for which we received payment in March and April 2000. During the three months ended June 30, 1999, we recognized $1.6 million of net sales related to contingency payments received during the current quarter for installations of switch equipment shipped in prior quarters. 16 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- As of December 31, 1999, we had a negative working capital of $4.3 million. During the first nine months of fiscal 2000 we used cash from operating activities of $17.6 million compared to using $11.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 1999. This decline in operating cash flow is due primarily to the increase in the losses incurred in the continuing long distance services and in the discontinued switch business as well as increases in working capital required to support the discontinued switch business operations. Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $4.0 million used in the corresponding period of fiscal 1999. This change is primarily due to the payment received of $2.0 million on notes receivable and reduced spending on capital equipment related to the discontinued operations. Capital expenditures on equipment purchases of $0.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 represented a decrease of $0.4 million from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Purchases were primarily for additional switching equipment required to support the expansion of the international long distance services business. Net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal 2000 included cash paid in connection with increases in investments in affiliates of $0.04 million. Investment expenditures on discontinued operations comprised of capital expenditures for equipment and software for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $0.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the prior year. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $15.8 million, compared to $14.3 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 1999. This increase of $1.5 million results primarily from the net proceeds of a private placement in May 1999 of $10.2 million, $3.4 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants offset by a $4.0 million cost of redemption of 100 shares of Series A Preference Shares and an increase of $6.3 million in notes payable, compared to the prior year increase in notes payable of $7.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 included $6.3 million from the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In July 1999, we received an offer for a commitment for a stand-by credit facility from certain shareholders that would provide a funding commitment to us of $3.5 million. The shareholders offering this facility were Strategic Restructuring Partnership, Mr. Alan J. Andreini, Junction Investors, Ardent Research Partners and Mr. Fred Stein. This facility would be secured by the stock of INET, bear 12.5% interest on the outstanding principal balance and be repayable on March 31, 2000. This commitment has expired. During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2000, we completed and received funding under a series of two demand loans. The first loan for a total amount of $600,000 was provided to us by Mr. James J. Fiedler, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the amount of $175,000, by Mr. Daniel W. Latham, our President, Chief Operating Officer and a director, in the amount of $75,000 and by Mr. Alan J. Andreini, our shareholder, in the amount of $350,000 in October 1999. This loan bore interest at bank's prime rate plus 1% per year (9.25% at December 31, 1999), was repayable on demand and was secured against our investment in Systeam, S.p.A. The second loan for a total amount of $1,225,000 was provided to us by Mr. Richard L. Haydon, our shareholder, in the amount of $500,000, by Mr. Alan J. Andreini, our shareholder, in the amount of $225,000 and by three other shareholders in a combined total amount of $500,000 in November 1999. This loan 17 bore interest at the rate of 17.5% per year and was repayable, on demand by the lenders, no earlier than March 31, 2000. The maximum term of the loan was three years to November 2002. This loan was secured by a pledge of shares of the common stock of INET Interactive Network System, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary. Under the terms of this loan, the lenders were granted, pro-rata, a combined total of 73,500 three-year warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per share. The warrants resulted in a non-cash interest expense charge of $0.3 million recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Of the above funding, $475,000 was received by us during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and $1,350,000 was received by us during October and November 1999. These borrowings together with the accrued interest were fully repaid in February and April 2000. We had capital lease obligations of $2.6 million at December 31, 1999 payable through 2004. We had a $2.2 million revolving line of credit secured against certain trade receivables. As at December 31, 1999, $1.4 million had been drawn against the line representing the maximum amount available at that time. This line of credit bears interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1999) plus 4%. The line of credit expires on August 31, 2000. We have a long-term obligation in the amount of $1.6 million in connection with principal and interest due on subordinated debentures, which bear interest of 11.25% per year. The debentures mature in January 2002 and interest only is due until such time. In January and February 2000, we completed two private placements with accredited investors and sold 3,157,895 shares of our 6% Series B Preferred Stock at $4.75 per share. The total cash we received was $14.1 million, net of fees and expenses of $858,000 associated with the placements. Sunrise Securities Corp., the placement agent, received a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the sale, consisting of $718,500 cash and 75,000 shares of common stock, plus reimbursement for expenses. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights. At their option, and at any time, the holders may convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $4.75 per share. As a result of this discount from market of approximately $4.24 per share, we recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $13,388,000 which has been accounted for as a dividend to preferred shareholders recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. The holders are entitled to receive 6% cumulative dividends per year commencing 90 days from the date of the original issue. However, such dividends will not be paid until all amounts then due to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid. No dividends can be paid or declared on any common stock unless full cash dividends, including past dividends declared, have been paid on the Preferred Stock. At any time after the trading price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $10 for twenty consecutive trading days, we may, at our option, redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at $4.75 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends. In February 2000, we completed the sale of our investment in Systeam, S.p.A. and received a cash payment of $1.2 million. A gain on the sale of this investment of $0.4 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. In March 2000, four of our customers completed third party lease contracts with First Venture in respect of $14.3 million of switching equipment previously sold under three year promissory notes secured by the equipment. In March and April 2000, we received net payments of $10.0 and $1.5 million, respectively. We expect to receive the remaining balance of $2.8 million if and when the lessees complete their payment obligations to First Venture. 18 We believe that we will be able to continue to fund our operations and acquisitions by obtaining additional outside financing; however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing when needed on acceptable terms or at all. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company is not currently subject to a significant level of direct market risk related to foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices. The Company has no derivative instruments and does not expect to derive a material amount of its revenues from interest bearing securities. Currently the Company has no significant foreign operations. To the extent that the Company establishes significant foreign operations in the future, it will attempt to mitigate risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates contractually and through the use of hedging activities and other means considered appropriate. The Company holds no equity market securities, but does face equity market risk relative to its own equity securities.
