See accompanying notes to financial statements Page 7 NOFIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) May 31, 1998 NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation: The balance sheet at the end of the preceding fiscal year has been derived from the audited balance sheet contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 1997 (the "10-KSB")and is presented for comparative purposes. All other financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the published rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 10-KSB for the most recent fiscal year. Loss per Share - Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. The effect of warrants outstanding and shares issuable in connection with convertible debentures is not included since it would be anti-dilutive. NOTE 2 - Reorganization: Prior to August 11, 1995, the effective date of its confirmed Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to Chapter 11 proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"), the Company operated under the name of PNF Industries, Inc. ("PNF") and subsidiaries. PNF was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 13, 1987. Effective February 27, 1990, PNF acquired all the outstanding common stock of Portafone Communications, Inc. ("Portafone") with its wholly owned subsidiary, Unicell Corporation ("Unicell"). Portafone was engaged in the business of selling, installing and renting cellular telephones. Unicell was licensed to act as a reseller of cellular services in New York and Massachusetts. The cellular phone business was discontinued during calendar year 1993. Effective August 6, 1991, PNF acquired 89% of the outstanding common stock of both No Fire Engineering, Inc. and No Fire Ceramic Products, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Collectively, those two companies developed, manufactured and sold fire retardant intumescent products. Both of those subsidiaries were dissolved during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1997. Page 8 NOFIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) May 31, 1998 On August 31, 1994, involuntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Code were filed against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Under the provisions of the Code, claims against the Company in existence prior to the Petition Date were stayed. The Company continued its business operations and was managed by a Bankruptcy Trustee. On April 7, 1995 the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan. The Plan provided that virtually all pre-petition claims of the Company would be paid in full over a four-year period. On August 11, 1995, the effective date of the Plan, PNF emerged from Chapter 11 as a reorganized company under the name NoFire Technologies, Inc. For financial reporting purposes, the Company reported the effective date as of August 31, 1995. As of August 11, 1995 the Company adopted "fresh start reporting" and implemented the effects of such adoption in its balance sheet as of August 31, 1995. NOTE 3 - Fresh Start Reporting: At August 31, 1995, under the principles of fresh start reporting, the Company's total assets were recorded at their estimated reorganization value of $1,750,000, with such value allocated to identifiable assets on the basis of their estimated fair value. The reorganization value included the patents for intumescent fire retardant products which patents were valued at $1,500,000. NOTE 4 - Management's Actions to Overcome Operating and Liquidity Problems: The Company's financial statements have been presented on the going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's viability as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations through increased sales and raising additional financing. The Company has a liability for settled claims payable to creditors and accrued expenses incurred in connection with the Plan. Without the achievement of profitable operations or additional financing, funds for repayment would not be available. Page 9 NOFIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) May 31, 1998 Management believes that actions currently being undertaken to obtain significant sales contracts will provide it with the opportunity to realize profitable operations and to attract the necessary financing and/or capital for the payment of outstanding obligations. NOTE 5 - Warrants: The Company has issued warrants for the purchase of common stock as follows: Shares Exercise Price -------- -------------- 997,500 $1.00 160,000 1.50 3,353,050 2.00 35,000 2.50 422,500 3.00 50,000 3.25 12,000 5.00 --------- 5,030,050 The warrants will vest to the holders in various intervals ranging from issue date to three years from issuance. Page 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company continued its product development and application testing. It now has several certifications for specific applications and has filed for four additional patents. One of those applications had led to the issuance of a patent during the present fiscal year. Continuing marketing efforts have brought the Company closer to achieving significant sales for applications in such diverse industries as high-speed ferries and naval ships, electric utilities, wood product building components, concrete and structural steel column protection, and automotive. In the nuclear power generating industry, a contractor has been awarded a contract to upgrade the fire protection of control wiring at a large U.S nuclear power plant specifying the Company's product. The Company believes that orders to provide materials for that contract, as well as the first shipments against those orders, should occur within the present fiscal year. The Company also believes that contracts will be obtained from other nuclear power plants as well as from other industries in this fiscal year. The greatest obstacles to obtaining these other contracts are the continuing tests and approvals required, competition against well established and better capitalized companies, and the slow process of specifying new products in highly regulated industrial applications. The Company's most pressing need is cash infusion as discussed below in the section on Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's products perform their intended uses well and have been developed to the stage where they can be sold commercially in a form that is safe and easy to use. The Company intends to continue its research and testing efforts to meet market opportunities. The number of manufacturing and quality control employees will increase with increased production. The salaried administrative and marketing staff is anticipated to remain constant with additional sales and marketing efforts provided by commissioned independent contractors. COMPARISON NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998 AND MAY 31, 1997 The Company remained a development stage company. Sales of $18,626 for the nine months ended May 31, 1998 represented a decrease of 47% from the $35,067 for the comparable nine-month period of the prior year. Cost of goods sold during the same periods decreased 46% from $16,270 to $8,782 resulting in a gross profit of $9,844 compared to $18,797 in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 1998 were $953,015 representing a decrease of $80,713 or 8% from the $1,033,728 of the similar period of the prior year. Almost all categories of expense remained at constant levels or were reduced. The most significant changes were reductions of $12,000 in travel and related expenses, $42,900 in interest expense, and $47,800 in salaries and related expenses resulting from a reduction in clerical staff and the retirement on November 30, 1997, of the former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. COMPARISON THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998 AND MAY 31, 1997 Sales of $12,225 for the three months ended May 31, 1998 represented an increase of 63% from the $7,484 for the comparable three-month period of the prior year. Cost of goods sold during the same periods increased 75% Page 11 from $3,369 to $5,903 resulting in a gross profit of $6,322 compared to $4,115 in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 1998 were $341,931, representing an increase of $39,229 or 13% from the $302,702 of the similar period of the prior year. Most categories of expense remained at constant levels. The most significant increase was a change in professional fees of $69,880 resulting principally from work done by marketing consultants and a financial public relations firm. Expense reductions were $13,700 in officers' salaries resulting from the retirement on November 30 1997, of the former Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and $22,981 in interest expense. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At May 31, 1998 the Company had cash balances of $6,482. In order to fund continuing operations during the nine months ended on that date, $550,000 was obtained by the private sales of unregistered common stock with warrants to several accredited investors. In addition, one trade creditor and four Chapter 11 claimants settled a total of $206,579 in net present value of their claims against the Company by the issuance of 220,350 shares of the Company's common stock. An additional 119,200 shares of common stock were issued as compensation to three recipients representing $69,200 in professional fees. Because of limited cash resources, the Company has deferred payment of $185,126 of the second installment of the Chapter 11 liability to unsecured creditors that was due in late September 1996, and $445,009 that was due in late September 1997. In order to meet those liabilities and meet working capital needs until significant sales levels are achieved, the Company will continue to explore alternative sources of funding including exercise of warrants, bank and other borrowings, issuance of convertible debentures, issuance of common stock to settle debt, and the sale of equity securities in a public or private offering. Subsequent to May 31, 1998 and through July 7, 1998, an additional $1,250,000 was obtained in a private sale of unregistered common stock with warrants to a group of accredited investors. The investment group has advised the company that they filed reports with the SEC that they deemed appropriate including Schelules 13D and Forms 3. ITEM 6.
