AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- (Unaudited) 1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------ The information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2000 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for these periods. The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB, and do not contain certain information included in the Company's annual statements and notes. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statement as reported in its most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB. For the six month period ending June 30, 20000, there were no significant non-owner sources of income or expense. Accordingly, a separate statement of comprehensive income has not been presented herein. 2. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY ----------------------- The Company, a New York corporation formed on June 28, 1985, is engaged in the administration and provision of vehicle maintenance and repair management, including collision and general repair programs, appraisal services, subrogation services, vehicle salvage and vehicle rentals; and the administration of automotive collision repair referral services for self insured fleets, insurance companies and affinity group members. The Company's office is located at 51 East Bethpage Road, Plainview, New York 11803 and its telephone number is (516) 694-1010. 3. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- The unaudited results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE ------------------ Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, were exercised. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 there was no dilutive effect from stock options and warrants. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. Results of Operations In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), the Company has determined that the portion of its business representing commission revenues from its subrogation and salvage services should be displayed in the financial statements on a net basis. It had been the Company's prior policy to report such revenues and related costs on a gross basis. Accordingly, the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 have been reclassified to reflect the net presentation. There was no effect on net loss or net cash flows used in operating activities from the reclassification. Revenues and direct costs for the three and six months ended June 30,1999 were reduced by $759,636 and $1,347,824, respectively. Revenues were $3,411,034 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $3,322,612 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of $88,422 or 2.7%. The direct costs of services related to such revenue (principally charges from automotive repair facilities) were $2,433,484 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $2,564,971 for the same period in 1999, representing a decrease of $131,487 or 5.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 revenues from services were $6,652,078 as compared to $6,313,030 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of $339,048 or 5.4%. The direct cost of services related to such revenue was $4,703,513 and $4,902,269 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1998, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $198,756 or 4.1%. The gross profit percentage increased 5.9% to 28.7% from 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, gross profit increased 7% to 29.3% from 22.3% for the same period in 1999. The Company had decreased revenues of $206,877 for its collision repair and fleet management services, including subrogation and salvage commissions representing a decrease of 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the same three months of 1999. Collision repair and fleet management services for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $251,958 or 4.1% to $5,773,751 as compared to $6,025,709 for the same period in 1999. The decrease in revenues for collision repair and fleet management services reflect a continuing nationwide decline in per capita accident rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2000 Affinity Services sales increased $295,299 or 184.6% to $455,257 as compared to $159,958 for the same period in 1999. Affinity Services sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $878,327 as compared to $287,321 for the same period in 1999 representing an increase of $591,006 or 205.7% reflecting the increased membership enrollment. The increased gross profit percentage is a result of the increased affinity sales, which has a lower cost of revenue than the other programs. Total operating expenses were $990,537 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $916,020 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, representing an increase of $74,517 or 8.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, total operating expenses increased $89,625 or 4.9% to $1,910,636 as compared to $1,821,011 for the same period of 1999. The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to the additional personnel necessary for the start-up of operations of driversshield.com and 9 increase in Affinity Services. Investment and other income was $29,690 and $64,887 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $35,175 and $79,104 for the same periods in 1999, representing a decrease of $5,485 and $14,217, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower average investment balances available during the periods. As a result of the foregoing, the net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 was $14,178 ($.00 per share) and $98,116 (.01 per share) as compared to a net loss of $123,204 ($.01 per share) and $331,146 ($.04 per share) for the comparable periods in 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,146,604. The Company also holds 78,377 shares of Salomon Smith Barney Adjustable Rate Government Income Fund securities valued at $759,476 at June 30, 2000. Working capital of the Company as of June 30, 2000, was $1,896,187. The Company's operating activities provided $377,261 of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 1999, when the Company's operating activities used $261,322 of cash. This is primarily a result of the increase in net income for 2000. The Company believes that its present cash position will enable the Company to continue to support its operations for the next twelve months. The Company announced on May 31, 2000 that it has secured up to $10 million in equity based funding commitments for the Company. This equity facility enables FPG to draw down funds at its discretion on a monthly basis, over a twelve-month period in exchange for common stock in the Company.
