The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 ERESOURCE CAPITAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION These financial statements include the operations of eResource Capital Group, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("RCG"), and its subsidiaries (collectively - - "the Company"). In October 2000, RCG changed its name from flightserv.com to reflect the new business direction of the Company. Prior to June 30, 2000, the Company was engaged in the development of its private aviation business and limited commercial real estate activities. In fiscal 2001, the Company acquired several companies and businesses. The Company currently operates aviation travel services, telecommunications call center, consulting, home technology services, and Internet/technology solutions businesses in the United States. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and to reflect the commercial real estate business segment as a discontinued operation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2002 and of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial data at June 30, 2001 is derived from audited financial statements which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2001 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The Company experienced net losses in recent fiscal years and a net loss of $1,993,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The Company used cash of $3,060,000 in continuing operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2002 and has cash and cash equivalents and investments totaling $3,672,000 at March 31, 2002. While its operations continue to improve, the Company continues to monitor costs in relation to revenues, and if necessary, to undertake cost reduction measures. In addition, the Company has obtained debt and equity financing in the nine months ended March 31, 2002 and is actively pursuing debt and equity financing alternatives to provide additional cash to support operations and growth. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company classifies as cash equivalents any investments which can be readily converted to cash and have an original maturity of less than three months. At times cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash equivalents in major financial institutions. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, investments, and notes payable. The Company places its temporary cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Although due dates of receivables vary based on contract terms, credit losses have been within management's estimates in determining the level of allowance for doubtful accounts. Overall financial strategies are reviewed periodically. 6 The Company used the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: - Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash approximates its fair value. - Accounts receivable and accounts payable: Due to their short term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. - Marketable Securities: The fair values for available-for-sale equity securities are based on quoted market prices. - Notes Payable: The carrying amount of the Company's notes payable approximates its fair value. During the three month period ended March 31, 2002, sales to Vacation Express ("VEX"), a customer of the Company's Aviation Travel Services business, represented 66% of the Company's consolidated revenue. For the nine month period then ended, sales to VEX and Aviation Network Services, also a customer of the Company's Aviation Travel Services business, represented 50% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. INVENTORY Inventory is stated at cost using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. INVESTMENTS The Company's investments, including certificates of deposit with maturities of greater than three months, not readily marketable equity securities, and other marketable securities, are classified as available for sale. Investment securities that are not readily marketable include securities (a) for which there is no market on a securities exchange or no independent publicly quoted market, (b) that cannot be publicly offered or sold unless registration has been effected under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (c) that cannot be offered or sold because of other arrangements, restrictions, or conditions applicable to the securities or the Company. Certificates of deposit are recorded at cost plus accrued interest. Marketable equity securities are recorded at estimated values based on quoted market values for marketable securities of the investee. If there is no quoted market value, the recorded values are based on the most recent transactions in the securities discounted for lack of marketability. Investment securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The difference between cost and fair value for available for sale securities is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities as a component of comprehensive income. Investments also include stock purchase warrants, which the Company periodically receives as part of its compensation for services. Stock purchase warrants from companies with publicly traded common stock are considered derivatives in accordance with FAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities". The Company recognizes revenue at the fair value of such stock purchase warrants when earned based on the Black - Scholes valuation model. The Company recognizes unrealized gains or losses in the statement of operations based on the changes in value in the stock purchase warrants as determined by the Black - Scholes valuation model subsequent to the date received. The Company recorded an unrealized gain on these warrants of $166,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and an unrealized loss of $191,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. PREPAID EXPENSES Prepaid expenses include insurance, deferred costs, certain taxes, and charter flight costs. Depending upon the volume and timing of charter flight activity, the amount of prepaid charter flight costs can fluctuate significantly. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements that extend the useful life or add value to the asset are capitalized and then expensed over the asset's remaining useful life. Sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the related cost and accumulated depreciation amounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the statement of operations. 7 The carrying value of property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such amounts may not be recoverable. If such an event occurred, the Company would prepare projections of future results of operations for the remaining useful lives of such assets. If such projections indicated that the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) are less than the carrying amounts of the property and equipment, the Company would record an impairment loss in the period it made such determination. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company records goodwill and intangible assets arising from business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ("FAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141") which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. FAS 141 also specifies the criteria applicable to intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with FAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). The Company adopted FAS 142 effective July 1, 2001. In completing the adoption of FAS 142, the Company has allocated its previously existing goodwill as of July 1, 2001 to its reporting units, as defined in FAS 142, and performed an initial test for impairment as of that date. The results of the initial impairment test are summarized in Note 5 to these financial statements. In accordance with FAS 142, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested at least annually for impairment. FAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and be reviewed for impairment. REVENUE RECOGNITION Aviation Travel Services Revenue related to the Company's aviation travel services consists of fees for charter flights and is recognized upon completion of the related flight. Home Technology The Company's home technology business completes work in two phases - wiring, then hardware installation. The Company invoices its customers and records revenue as work is completed on each project. Also, the Company sells contracts to customers for alarm monitoring services. The Company recognizes revenue from alarm monitoring contracts when it sells contracts to third parties or monthly over the contract term when the Company retains these contracts. Sales of franchise licenses are recognized as revenue when the Company's obligations under the franchise agreement are "substantially complete." The Company generally defines "substantially complete" as the completion of training by the franchisee's General Manager and the approval by the Company of the franchise location plan. Internet/Technology Solutions Internet services project revenue is recognized on a percentage of completion basis for fixed fee contracts, based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs for individual projects. Revenue is recognized as services are performed for time and material contracts at the applicable billing rates. Unbilled revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in advance of billings. Such amounts are normally converted to accounts receivable within 90 days. Unearned income represent amounts billed or cash received in advance of services performed or cost incurred under contracts. Any anticipated losses on contracts are charged to earnings when identified. 8 The Company provides e-commerce, marketing and business development services to clients pursuant to contracts with varying terms. The contracts generally provide for monthly payments and, in some cases, advance deposits. Revenue is recognized over the respective contract period as services are provided. Revenue from uncollateralized e-commerce sales or sales of hardware and software is recognized upon passage of title of the related goods to the customer. NET LOSS PER SHARE The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128") which requires dual presentations of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Options and warrants to purchase 26,569,043 and 27,380,120 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.04 per share (the "Common Stock"), were outstanding at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. A portion of such outstanding options and warrants were dilutive to earnings per share in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, but with respect to the nine month period ended March 31, 2002 and the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2001, these potentially dilutive options and warrants have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
Three months ended March 31 Nine months ended March 31 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic average shares 83,062,659 56,822,579 78,943,358 48,740,469 Potential dilutive shares 4,116,343 -- -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Diluted average shares 87,179,002 56,822,579 78,943,358 48,740,469 ========== ========== ========== ==========
ADVERTISING The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense aggregated approximately $39,000 and $62,000, respectively, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and $220,000 and $501,000 for the nine month periods then ended. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) Components of comprehensive income are net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity. The only component of other comprehensive income consists of unrealized holding gains/losses on securities available for sale. Total comprehensive income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $659,000 and total comprehensive loss for the nine month period ended March 31, 2002 was $1,230,000. Total comprehensive loss for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2001 was $1,920,000 and $13,958,000, respectively. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method as provided under FAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109") Accordingly, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of 9 contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". FAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the disposal of long-lived assets. FAS 144 becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of FAS 144 will have on its financial position and results of operations. NOTE 2. CONTINUING OPERATIONS Aviation Travel Services In fiscal 2000, the Company introduced its Private Seats charter flight program to provide Internet access to private jet flight and related travel services and operated the business from March 2000 through June 30, 2000. Due to limited capital availability, the Company did not actively pursue development of the Private Seats program and, as a result, did not realize any revenue from this business after June 30, 2000. In fiscal 2001, the Company determined that it would not pursue further development or marketing of the Private Seats program. In August 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of Internet Aviation Services, Ltd. ("IASL"). IASL was a new leisure and business travel services company, which offered charter services. The Company now operates its charter aviation services as part of its aviation travel services business through the Company's subsidiary, flightserv.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("FSW"). In October 2000, FSW entered into a contract with Southeast Airlines to charter two jet aircraft to provide jet shuttle service between Norfolk, Virginia and New York City, New York and between Norfolk and Orlando, Florida. Due to low consumer demand for this service FSW suspended its jet shuttle operations in January 2001 and terminated its contract with Southeast for the two aircraft. Since December 2000, FSW has operated charter aircraft for tour operators. In July 2001, FSW entered into an agreement with Vacation Express to create a passenger hub in Orlando-Sanford International Airport. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, six commercial jet aircrafts originate in six eastern and midwestern cities and serve five Caribbean destinations and Orlando. The Company began operating the service in November 2001 and at December 31, 2001 four (4) aircraft were in operation and two (2) additional aircraft began operating during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Telecommunications Call Center In September 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of DM Marketing, Inc. ("DMM"), which operates a telecommunications call center providing telemarketing, help desk and other services for Internet related and other companies. Home Technology In April 2001, the Company acquired LST, Inc. d/b/a Lifestyle Technologies ("LST"), which is a full service home technology integration company providing builders, homeowners, and commercial customers with complete installation and equipment for structured wiring, security, personal computer networking, audio, video, home theater, central vacuum and accent lighting. LST also provides similar products and services to the commercial market. LST has also secured relationships with product manufacturers, distributors and service providers (cable, Internet service, broadband and security). On July 10, 2001, the Company acquired certain net assets, liabilities and the business of a home technology company located in Atlanta, GA for an aggregate purchase price of $1,255,000, which was paid by delivery of a cash payment ($275,000), Common Stock (975,556 shares) and a four-year term promissory note ($250,000). Including direct acquisition costs, the total purchase price aggregated $1,259,857 and the transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets on the acquisition date aggregated approximately $1,184,184 which was allocated to goodwill. 10 In September 2001, LST commenced its national franchising program. In connection with the franchising program, LST has completed the sale of franchise licenses in 13 markets located primarily in the south and southeastern United States. In addition, LST owns and operates the Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA markets. On April 17, 2002 the Company signed a letter of intent to raise $4.35 million in cash and other assets through the sale of a 25% interest in its home technology business to Princeton Mining Company ("PRNM"). The transaction is expected to close no later than June 30, 2002, at which time LST will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PRNM. Under the terms of the letter of intent, at closing, the Company will receive 16,000,000 shares of PRNM common stock, which is expected to represent approximately 75% of the outstanding stock of PRNM.

GOODWILL The changes in goodwill, by segment, for the nine month period ended March 31, 2002, are as follows:
Aviation Internet/ Travel Technology Home Services Solutions Technology Corporate Total -------- --------- ---------- --------- ----- Balance at June 30, 2001 $939 $ 8,263 $7,696 $1,000 $ 17,898 Cumulative effect of change in accounting -- principle (adoption of FAS 142) -- (693) -- -- (693) ---- ------- ------ ------ -------- Balance on July 1, 2001 939 7,570 7,696 1,000 17,205 Goodwill acquired during period -- -- 1,184 -- 1,184 Other goodwill adjustments -- 16 15 -- 31 ---- ------- ------ ------ -------- Balance at March 31, 2002 $939 $ 7,586 $8,895 $1,000 $ 18,420 ==== ======= ====== ====== ========
Goodwill was reduced by $693,000 in the Internet/Technology Solutions segment as a result of the implementation of FAS 142. This adjustment relates primarily to the discounting of the future net cash flows in the segment's Internet business development activity that was acquired as a part of the purchase of Alliance. Goodwill allocated to the Corporate segment relates to investment banking activities that were acquired by the Company as a part of the acquisition of Ventures in February 2001 and integrated into Corporate. 12 In July 2001, the Company acquired a home technology business in the Atlanta, GA market, which resulted in the recording of $1,184,000 in goodwill. The other goodwill adjustments relate to resolutions of contingencies that existed as of the dates that the related businesses were acquired by the Company. Reported net income (loss) adjusted for the amounts of goodwill amortization recorded by the Company prior to the adoption of FAS 142 is as follows:
Three months ended March 31, Nine months ended March 31, 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----- --------- --------- ---------- Reported income (loss) before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle ......................................... $ 25 $ (1,856) $ (1,300) $ (13,894) Add back: Goodwill amortization .................................... -- 543 -- 1,182 ----- --------- --------- ---------- Adjusted income (loss) before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle ....................................... 25 (1,313) (1,300) (12,712) Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle ................ -- -- (693) -- ----- --------- --------- ---------- Adjusted net income (loss) .................................... $ 25 $ (1,313) $ (1,993) $ (12,712) ===== ========= ========= ========== Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: Reported income (loss) before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle ............................................ $ -- $ (0.04) $ (0.01) $ (0.28) Add back: Goodwill amortization .................................... -- 0.01 -- 0.02 ----- --------- --------- ---------- Adjusted income (loss) before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle ....................................... -- (0.03) (0.01) (0.26) Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle ................ -- -- (0.01) -- ----- --------- --------- ---------- Adjusted net income (loss) .................................... $ -- $ (0.03) $ (0.02) $ (0.26) ===== ========= ========= ==========
The effect of the adoption of FAS 142 on the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was to increase the Company's reported net loss of $724,000 ($.01 per share) by the amount of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle measured as of July 1, 2001, $693,000 ($.01 per share), to $1,417,000 ($.02 per share). 13 NOTE 6.

(1) At the option of the noteholder, this note can be converted into RCG's Common Stock at a ratio of one (1) share of Common Stock for each $0.65 of outstanding principal and interest. (2) In connection with this note, the Company issued 500,000 shares of restricted stock and 300,000 warrants to purchase its Common Stock at a price of $0.35 and for a term of three years, both as loan origination fees. This note is convertible into the Company's Common Stock at the option of the debt holder at a per share price of the lesser of $0.30 or a 25% discount. The Company can force the debt holder to convert to stock at $1.00 per share under certain conditions. NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES As of March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $36,800,000 of net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") for federal income tax purposes, which expire between 2019 through 2021. A deferred income tax asset valuation allowance has been established against all deferred income tax assets as management is not certain that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. In addition, due to the substantial limitations placed on the utilization of net operating losses following a change in control, utilization of such NOLs could be limited. In January 2002, the Company received an Internal Revenue Service report on the Company's 1996 and 1997 and one of its subsidiary's 1994 and 1995 tax returns, which the Company has appealed. At March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the Company had recorded a federal tax liability of $305,830 related to such assessment. NOTE 8. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK In July 2001, the Company issued 975,556 shares of restricted Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of a home technology business. In September 2001, the Company issued 11,428 shares of restricted Common Stock from treasury stock in connection with the payment of certain legal fees. In December 2001, the Company issued 795,599 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate market value of approximately $165,000 in connection with the payment of a loan origination fee, legal expenses, investor relation services and general and 14 administrative expenses. Of the $165,000, the Company recorded approximately $133,000 as deferred debt expense, which is being amortized over two years, the term of the note. The Company's purchase agreements for LST and Logisoft provide for 2,000,000 and 500,000 additional shares of Common Stock, respectively, to be issued to certain parties, contingent upon operating performance criteria for each company acquired. In October 2001 and March 2002, the Company issued 20,834 and 62,500 shares of Common Stock, respectively, representing additional shares earned in accordance with the Logisoft purchase agreement. No additional shares have been earned in accordance with the LST purchase agreements. In December 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a private placement of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock at a price of $0.10 per share. The Company is managing the private placement directly and, as a result, will not incur any investment banking fees. The Company sold 2,500,000 shares under the private placement in December 2001, 5,510,000 shares in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, and expects to complete the sale of the remaining 1,990,000 shares on or before May 31, 2002. NOTE 9. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued To Employees" ("APB 25") and options and warrants issued to non-employees under FAS No. 123, "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"). For the options and warrants issued to non-employees, the fair value of each award has been calculated using the Black-Scholes Model in accordance with FAS 123. In fiscal 2001, the Company adopted a stock compensation plan (the "Option Plan"). The Option Plan provides for the granting of either incentive stock options or non-qualified options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock to provide incentives to employees, directors and other individuals or companies at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Option Plan allows participants to purchase Common Stock of the Company at prices set by the Board of Directors, but in the case of incentive stock options not less than fair market value at the date the option is granted. Unexercised options expire 10 years after the date of grant unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors. There are 20,000,000 shares authorized for the granting of incentive stock options under the Option Plan. In the nine months ended March 31, 2002, the Company issued qualified and non-qualified options to certain employees under the Option Plan to purchase 1,775,000 shares of Common Stock and cancelled options of terminated employees to purchase 2,049,625 shares of Common Stock.

Results of Continuing Operations The Company's revenues in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002 were $9,747,000 and $26,516,000, respectively, compared to $4,170,000 and $6,547,000, respectively, in the same periods a year ago. The increase in the current period is due to the newly acquired businesses and the expanded charter aviation business. These increases were partially offset by the termination of the jet shuttle services and a decline in the call center operations. Revenue reported in the Corporate segment relates primarily to fees received for investment banking services. During the three month period ended March 31, 2002, sales to Vacation Express ("VEX"), a customer of the Company's Aviation Travel Services business, represented 66% of the Company's consolidated revenue. For the nine month period then ended, sales to VEX and Aviation Network Services, also a customer of the Company's Aviation Travel Services business, represented 50% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenue. Gross profit in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002 was $1,544,000 and $4,136,000 compared to $651,000 and $527,000, respectively, in the same periods a year ago. The increases in the current period are due to the newly acquired businesses, the expanded charter aviation business and elimination of the jet shuttle business, which operated at a gross margin deficit. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2001, the Company recognized $220,000 and $6,923,000, respectively, of non-cash expense related to the issuance of stock options and warrants. The Company incurred only $7,000 and $19,000 of any such 19 expense in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002, respectively, because the Company granted fewer compensatory options and warrants in the current year. Selling, general and administrative expenses-other in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002 was $1,580,000 and $5,511,000, respectively, compared to $1,277,000 and $3,666,000, respectively, in the comparable periods a year ago. These increases are due to expenses of the newly acquired businesses and increased staff in the aviation travel services business to support its expanded charter operations partially offset by reduced corporate expenses, settlement of a contract with a service provider that reduced expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 by $90,000, and by lower marketing expenses, particularly in the nine month period, due to the termination of the jet shuttle service. Bad debt expense in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2002 was $20,000 and $85,000, respectively, and is related to the newly acquired businesses. The Company's depreciation and amortization expense in the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2002 was $101,000 and $285,000, respectively, compared to $554,000 and $1,215,000, respectively, in the same periods a year ago. The decrease is due primarily to the discontinuance of goodwill amortization ($1,182,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001) in accordance with FAS 142 offset partially by depreciation of the fixed assets of newly acquired businesses. In the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2002, the Company incurred $93,000 and $186,000, respectively, of net interest expense related to its debt portfolio, which increased from $668,000 at June 30, 2001 to $3,453,000 at March 31, 2002. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded net interest income of $13,000 and $37,000. In the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded a net gain on investments of $282,000 of which $166,000 relates to market adjustments of warrants and $116,000 represents realized gains on sales of securities. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company recognized a net loss on investments of $97,000. These results are reported primarily in the Corporate segment results. The results for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 also include a gain of $171,000 on the sale of certain home technology net assets to companies that are operating these businesses as franchises. The Company realized a gain of $576,000 on the sale of its discontinued commercial real estate business in the three months ended September 30, 2001. In fiscal 2002, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $693,000, increasing the Company's reported net loss, as a result of its implementation of FAS 142. This adjustment was recorded as of July 1, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources The net loss in the nine months ended March 31, 2002 of $1,993,000 was offset by increases to shareholders' equity related to a business acquisition, a capital contribution, unrealized gains on marketable securities of $634,000 and sale of common stock resulting in a net increase in shareholders' equity of $601,000. This increase was $1,294,000 excluding the impact of the adoption of FAS 142. In the nine months ended March 31, 2002, continuing operations used $3,060,000 of cash and discontinued operations provided $150,000 of cash. Note payable proceeds of $2,553,000 and sale of common stock offset this decrease resulting in a net cash increase of $112,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2002, the Company had working capital of $162,000, including cash and cash equivalents of $1,398,000 and investments of $2,274,000. The Company's aviation travel service business was cash flow positive in the current quarter, as it has been for the entire fiscal year. The Company expects cash flow from this business to increase again in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 when the full schedule of flights under its leisure charter contract are in place for the entire quarter. This contract is expected to generate $32,000,000 in annual revenues and $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 of annual cash flow. Six (6) aircraft were in operation under the contract at March 31, 2002. The Company continues to service its existing contracts and to market complementary flights to further utilize the aircraft it has under contract. The Company is in the process of re-establishing the operations of its 35-seat telecommunication call center, which will also provide support to its aviation travel services business as a reservations and customer care center for airlines, tour operators and 20 for internal programs for which the Company will take reservations from travelers. The Company expects the call center to break even during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. In the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company implemented a national franchising program for its home technology business. Since its launch, the Company has sold 13 geographic markets to franchisees, primarily in the south and southeastern United States. During the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2002, the Company recognized revenue for the sale of five and 12 franchises sold, respectively. Total revenue from franchise sales and royalties was $253,000 and $591,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2002. For the nine months ended March 31, 2002, the Company's home technology business reported a loss of $660,000 due primarily to investments made in the establishment and growth of the franchising program and losses in the two markets that the Company presently operates, Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002 the home technology business reported a loss of $359,000 due to increased staffing to support franchisor operations and lower sales in its two owned markets. Sales in the Company's two owned markets for the March 31, 2002 quarter decreased by $272,000 from the previous quarter due to seasonality and the impact of a customer selectivity program in which certain builder relationships were terminated, to allow the Company to focus on building relationships with higher end builders and in the commercial market. The continued implementation of the franchise plan and the development of its owned markets are expected to result in reduced, but continued operating losses for the near term. In April 2002, the Company signed a binding letter of intent to sell a 25% interest in its home technology business for cash of $1,300,000 and other assets of approximately $3,050,000 (the "Princeton Transaction"). The Princeton Transaction is expected provide the business additional capital to continue implementing its business plan to build a national operation. In fiscal 2002, the Company has proceeded with the development of its Internet/technology solutions business through the expansion of its products, services and its sales force while reducing its operating expenses. The Company's Internet/Technology solutions business has reduced its loss from operations in each of the last three (3) quarters as a result of revenue growth and cost control. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Internet/Technology Solutions business reported a loss of $69,000 and achieved a break-even result excluding depreciation, interest and taxes (EBITDA), versus a loss of $168,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The Company expects these improvements in operating results to continue. Also, the Company's corporate expense in the current nine months decreased from a year ago due to the issuance of fewer stock options and warrants, staff reductions, favorable settlement of a contract with a service provider and other costs saving measures. The Company expects to realize additional corporate savings during the last quarter of fiscal 2002. In addition, The Company recorded $202,000 in revenue from advisory services during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. In addition to the operational improvements and the funding transaction for the home technology business discussed above, the Company in December, 2001 obtained an $800,000 term loan and commenced a $1,000,000 private placement sale of Common Stock. Through March 31, 2002, the Company had received $801,000 from the private placement program and expects to receive the remaining $199,000 on or before May 31, 2002. The Company continues to actively pursue debt and equity financing alternatives to provide additional cash to support operations and growth. The Company believes its existing balances of cash and cash equivalents and investments combined with operating cash flows, funds to be raised as a result of the Princeton Transaction and the proceeds from the private placement sale of Common Stock will be sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements of our continuing operations. The Company may need additional debt or equity financing depending upon its ability to grow its businesses or improve cash flow from operations or if the Princeton Transaction is delayed or does not close. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, that it will be on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders. If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations, or in raising additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company, these failures would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of its then-current stockholders would be diluted. The Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition are subject to many risks.
