NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The information furnished by us reflects all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements for the period presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2000. 2. Inventories: Inventories at June 30, 2001 consisted of the following: Raw Materials $ 1,190,160 Work-in-Progress 580,360 Finished Goods 740,188 ----------- $ 2,510,708 =========== 3. Note Payable, Bank In February 2001 we received a letter of credit from our joint venture to buy $600,000 in "parts to build" air pollution instruments in China. Through the efforts of World Trade Finance, we were able to borrow $450,000 on the order. This loan is payable with monthly interest at a rate of 11.50%, and principal is repaid out of shipment. $550,000 of parts were shipped in the middle of April 2001 and this loan was repaid. In June 2001, we obtained another loan for $350,000 which bears interest at Wall Street Journal Prime Rate + 3.0% p.a. and is due September 15, 2001 or upon collection under the assignment of letter of credit proceeds, whichever occurs earlier. This loan was against a letter of credit for instruments in China for a total of $490,000. The instruments were shipped on July 31, 2001. 4. Shareholders' Equity: On January 25, 2001, we issued 700,000 shares of stock under a one-year consulting agreement. The value of these shares of $700,000 is being amortized as consulting expense over the term of the agreement. At June 30, 2001 $360,068 remains as prepaid consulting fees. During the second quarter, the employee stock plan was terminated and as a result, the 840,000 shares were put into treasury. The Company will return all monies deducted by payroll to all employees. 5. Foreign Sales The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's foreign sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000: Six months ended June 30 ------------------------ 2001 2000 -------- --------- Aggregate sales to unaffiliated foreign customers: Europe and the United Kingdom $156,740 $ -- Asia and the Pacific Rim $783,700 $328,000 During the period ended June 2001 and 2000 one customer in China accounted for 75% and 23% of net sales. 9 6. Deferred Revenue Income and expenses not earned or incurred are recorded as deferred revenue. Sales to the 50% Joint Venture are not considered earned until shipped by the Joint Venture. Revenue will be recognized upon shipment of products. 7. Joint Venture Financial Statement The joint venture had the following activity for the period ended June 30, 2001: Revenue $ -- General and Administrative Expense 229,158 ---------- Net Loss $ (229,158) ========== Dasibi's share of net loss (50%) $ (114,579) ========== Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General We design, manufacture and market automated continuous monitoring instruments used to detect and measure various types of air pollution through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Dasibi Environmental Corp., and, since January 1998 we have focused our business primarily on the air pollution market of the People's Republic of China. We have experienced operating losses during quarters in which no product was shipped to China due to high staffing and related financing expenses toward maintaining a consistent quality control and manufacturing schedule. The 1999 Phase 1 contract for $5.2 million was essentially completed in a five month schedule ending November 1999. Except for that period, the past three years, including this current quarter, have experienced insufficient revenue to offset our level of staffing and its level of related expenses. Our future operating results may be affected by a number of important factors, including but not limited to our ability to obtain further contracts from China, ability to obtain parts from vendors, uncertainties relative to global economic conditions and political stability, industry factors, the availability and cost of components, our ability to develop, manufacture and sell our products profitably. In April 2000 we signed a $13.5 million agreement (the Phase II "China Contract"). In December 2000 our board of directors approved a joint venture to manufacture our product in China. A contract to provide air monitoring networks for cities in China under U.S. Export-Import financing requires a "letter of mandate" from the China bank, which in turn requires China bank credit approval of the cities involved. In the 1998 Phase I contract this approval required approximately six months for eleven cities. In the 2000 Phase II contract, 32 cities are involved. As of April 30, 2001, 27 cities have been approved. Current indication from the China side is that a October, 2001 project start date is their goal. This start date is critical for us to generate "steady stream" revenues to justify staffing levels and more importantly, eliminate on-going expensive financing requirements. For us to be profitable for 2001, the Phase II project should have started in the third quarter of the current year. Our Company has been notified by NASDAQ that our share price of July 17, 2001 is below listing requirements and that we have 90 days to "cure". RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 ("2001") Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 ("2000") Net revenues for 2001 were $350,573 which represented a decrease of $651,815, or 65% over 2000 net revenue of $1,002,388. The decrease was primarily due to a 40% decrease in core business sales and a lack of unit sales for China business. Sales of spare parts accounted for the major portion of gross income for the period. Gross profit was ($173,988) for 2001, a decrease of $395,859 from $221,871 for 2000. The gross loss percentage was (50%) in 2001, a decrease from a 22% gross profit in 2000. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily 10 attributable to the dismantling of 21 completed units representing potential gross income of $1,500,000 and gross profit of approximately $600,000. The retrofitting for resale resulted in increased work in process labor costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $608,295, or 174% of sales for 2001, a decrease of $18,104 from $626,399 in 2000. The decrease in SG&A was principally due to a decreased G&A burden and decreased sales effort. During the three months ended June 30, 2001 charges related to amortization of loan fees and interest amounted to $255,239, an increase of $20,219 from $235,020 in 2000. As a result of the foregoing factors we incurred a loss of $1,152,700 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to a loss of $646,941 during the three months ended June 30, 2000. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001, versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Net revenues decreased 27%% from $1,430,760 during the first half of 2000 to $1,044,931 during the first half of 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in core business sales and a lack of unit sales for China business. Gross profit margin was 5% for the first half of 2001 versus 18% for the first half of 2000. Decrease in gross profit percentage remains primarily attributable to the additional labor expended to retrofit units for outside of China business. The retrofitting for resale outside of China was necessitated by the inability of Chinese cities to furnish fundable letters of credit or bank guarantees. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $88,092, or 7% during the first half of 2001, versus the same period in 2000, primarily due to decreased G&A burden and decreased selling expenditures. During the first six months of 2001 accounting charges related to amortization of loan fees and interest amounted to $576,122, an increase of $167,056, or 41% over the first six months of 2000. As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company incurred a loss of $1,870,142 during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to a loss of $1,474,782 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have historically financed our growth and cash needs primarily through borrowings, and the public and private sales of our securities. The low market value of our securities and our unstable operating performance have severely restricted our access to capital, and when capital has been obtained it has been necessarily costly due to high interest costs and related loan fees. During the second quarter, we were requested by SEPA of China to provide, on an emergency basis, 21 single systems for 21 cities for shipment by May 10, 2001. It was realized that a letter of credit was not possible but there was agreement for a borrowable bank guarantee. We fulfilled the system building request on schedule but SEPA was unable to procure any bank guarantee until June 15, 2001 and we determined it was a non-borrowable instrument. This resulted in a severe shortage of cash and a serious vendor supply problem. Second quarter shipments and earnings were materially affected. We are aggressively seeking funding to allow "free flow of parts." If we are unsuccessful, this situation can impact us in a materially negative operations situation. 11 Net cash used in operating activities decreased $82,926 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to June 30, 2000 primarily due to amortization of stock issued for consulting and an increase in accounts payable. The cash level decreased in the same period by $40,980 primarily due to a decrease in new financing activities. Working capital was $(853,165) at June 30, 2001. An escrow which began October 19, 2000 intended to increase our working capital level failed to close. During the first quarter of 2001 we entered into a similar net funding escrow with a different unaffiliated corporation as in October, 2000. The escrow has been structured to avoid anti-dilution provisions of convertible bond holders who have again agreed to "pay-off" terms. The escrow is arranged in stages of which the first is release of working capital to us. At this date $250,000 has been released to us. Subsequent stages involve equity exchange to be negotiated so that a minimum common share price of $1.15 per share is maintained. Depending on valuation of asset acquisition in the escrow a possible minimum share value of approximately 97 cents per share may be realized. At this time no formal escrow agreements are in effect. Advances to date are non-refundable and a completion of escrow is not expected before June 1, 2001. A maximum dilutive effect to our company is expected to be in the order of 15% to 17%. There are no assurances this financing will be completed, or if completed that it would be timely so as to remedy vendor parts supply. Inflation We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our business. Seasonality We do not believe that our business is seasonal. 12 PART II-OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
