TMS, Inc. Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited) Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------ The unaudited interim condensed financial statements and related notes were prepared by TMS, Inc. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-KSB Annual Report for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are normal and recurring. Interim results are subject to year-end adjustments and audit by independent auditors. The financial data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of the results expected for the year. 4 Line of Credit At November 30, 2001 we had a $1,000,000 operating line of credit with a bank which bears interest at 1% above prime (6% at November 30, 2001) and expires on November 28, 2002. No balance was outstanding against the line of credit at November 30, 2001. Net Loss Per Share ------------------ Following is a reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted per-share computations:
November 30, 2001 November 30, 2000 ----------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Loss Shares Per-Share Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ------------- --------- ----------- ------------ --------- Basic EPS: Net (Loss) Income $(419,106) 13,088,663 $(0.03) $51,908 13,312,481 $0.00 Effect of Common Stock options - 19,212 ------------- ------------- --------- ----------- ------------ --------- Diluted EPS: Net (Loss) Income $(419,106) 13,088,663 $(0.03) $51,908 13,331,693 $0.00 ============= ============= ========= =========== ============= =========
Options to purchase approximately 628,000 shares and 678,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.27-$.40 per share were outstanding at November 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares. Additionally, approximately 59,000 options to purchase common stock at prices ranging from $.125-$.1875 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended November 30, 2001, because of their anti-dilutive effect. All options expire during periods through the year 2008. 5 Shareholders' Equity -------------------- During the three months ending November 30, 2001, we issued 30,326 common shares that were held in treasury at an aggregate sales price of $5,000. These shares were issued to employees participating in our employee stock purchase plan. At November 30, 2001, there were no remaining shares available to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain fiscal 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2002 financial statement presentation. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements because of certain risks and uncertainties, such as those inherent generally in the computer software industry and the impact of competition, pricing and changing market conditions. As a result, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements. Following is selected financial information for each of our reportable segments for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000. All revenue and expenses are from non-affiliated sources. Component Product Technologies ------------------------------------------------------
Three Months Ended November 30 ------------------------ 2001 2000 ---- ---- Revenue from external customers $553,207 $900,792 ----------- ----------- Operating (loss) income (31,866) 337,590 ----------- -----------
6 Revenue from the component product technologies segment is primarily derived from licensing, royalties, and the customer support and maintenance of our Prizm(R) Plug-in, ScanFix(R), Prizm(R) color, ViewDirector(TM) and FormFix(R) products. Revenue for this segment for the three months ended November 30, 2001 was $553,207 compared to $900,792 for the same period last year, a decrease of $347,585, or 39%. Operating loss for the segment was -6% for the three months ended November 30, 2001 compared to operating income of 37% for the same period last year. With the exception of the Prizm color product, which had not been released for sale in the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, the decline in component product revenue occurred across all product lines. This decline was in large part attributable to the delay by several of our customers in closing the purchase of certain licenses and the reduction in the number of licenses purchased, both of which we believe to be indirect results of the events of September 11, 2001 and the general uncertainty of the national economy. The profitability of this segment depends on our ability to secure significant sales of multiple licenses to individual customers. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of the total revenue for the segment. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of total segment revenue. Although our sales and monthly revenue totals have gradually improved since the events of September 11, 2001, we continue to experience longer sales cycles. We anticipate that customers may continue to purchase licenses in smaller quantities. Based on our belief that sales would continue to be depressed as a result of the reaction to the events of September 11, 2001, we implemented a company-wide plan near the end of the first quarter to eliminate a portion of our workforce to reduce certain of our ongoing fixed expenses. (See the "Total Company Operating Results" section below for a complete discussion of the implementation of the expense reduction plan). Accordingly, the operating margins for this segment were impacted by $53,204 of incremental one-time costs related to severance payments made as part of the workforce reduction; however, the decline in operating margins over the prior year first quarter is almost entirely attributable to the decline in revenue. 7 Assessment Scoring Technologies --------------------------------
Three Months Ended November 30 ------------------------ 2001 2000 ---- ---- Revenue from external customers $ - $ 6,200 ----------- ----------- Operating loss (280,698) (180,972) ----------- -----------
This segment includes costs associated with the continued development and marketing of our Virtual Scoring Center(TM) and Digital Mark Recognition(TM) software products that are designed to target and take advantage of the expected growth in the market for scoring K-12 tests. The initial version of the Virtual Scoring Center was created for a specific customer and was installed during the prior fiscal year. We are in the process of creating a commercial version of the Virtual Scoring Center that will include integration of our Digital Mark Recognition technology as an optional feature. We expect to release the commercial product during the latter half of the current fiscal year in time for the late spring and summer scoring season. The increase in the segment operating loss over the first quarter of fiscal 2001 is almost entirely attributable to additional software development resources allocated to the segment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the operating results for this segment were also impacted by $25,425 of incremental one-time costs related to severance payments made as part of the total company workforce reduction. (See the "Total Company Operating Results" section below for a complete discussion of the implementation of the expense reduction plan.) Other Services ---------------------
Three Months Ended November 30 ------------------------ 2001 2000 ---- ---- Revenue from external customers $ 8,025 $ 75,474 ----------- ----------- Operating income 6,692 10,923 ----------- -----------
The "Other Services" segment includes combined financial results for the winding down of operational activities related to the Professional Services and Document Conversion Services segments. Early in fiscal year 2000, we decided to transition out of these service activities. Approximately 80% of the prior first quarter revenue and 67% of the fiscal year 2001 first quarter operating income resulted from document conversion service contracts. We completed our final document conversion service activities during fiscal 2001, thus no revenue or expenses are included in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 for document conversion. The remaining revenue and operating income in the first quarters of both fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2001 relates to one professional service customer support and maintenance contract that we expect to end during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002. 8 Total Company Operating Results ------------------------------- Following is a report of total company revenue and a reconciliation of reportable segments' operating (loss) income to our total net (loss) income for the three-month periods ending November 30, 2001 and 2000.
Three Months Ended November 30 -------------------------- 2001 2000 ---- ---- Total company revenue $ 561,232 $ 982,466 ----------- ------------ Operating (loss) income for reportable segments (305,872) 167,541 Unallocated corporate expenses (108,124) (112,266) Interest income 3,709 18,866 Interest expense (4,702) (4,408) Other, net (4,117) 3,900 Income tax expense - (21,725) ------------ ------------ Net (loss) income $ (419,106) $ 51,908 =========== ============ (Loss) income per share: Basic $ (0.03) $ 0.00 Diluted $ (0.03) $ 0.00 =========== ============
9 Total revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2001 was $561,232 compared to $982,466 for the same quarter of fiscal year 2001, a decrease of $421,234 or 43%. The decline in total company revenue is almost entirely attributable to several of our component product customers delaying the close of licensing contracts or reducing the number of licenses purchased, which we believe were the indirect result of the events of September 11, 2001 and the general uncertainty of the national economy. Approximately 14% of the total revenue decline was the results of our prior year decision to terminate our document conversion service activities. Our net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2001 was $419,106 or $0.03 loss per share (basic and diluted), compared to net income of $51,908 or $0.00 income per share (basic and diluted) for the same quarter of fiscal 2001. The approximate $350,000 decline in component product revenue had the most significant impact on the decline in our current first quarter results when compared to the same period last year. Also contributing to our first quarter loss were one-time incremental costs of $78,629 related to employee severance payments made as part of our termination of employees to reduce expenses. Because of the overall uncertainty of the economy, which was fueled by the tragic events of September 11, 2001, many of our customers either delayed the purchase of software licenses or reduced the number of licenses purchased. As mentioned in the component product segment above, we have seen a gradual improvement in our sales pipeline and monthly revenue totals since the events of September 11, 2001, however we continue to experience longer sales cycles and anticipate that customers may continue to purchase licenses in smaller quantities than what we have historically seen. On an annualized basis, the cost savings associated with this workforce reduction amounts to approximately $530,000. Four of the seven employees terminated were from the software development group. The termination of these software development positions may have an impact on our ability to adhere to certain product release schedules, thus hindering near-term revenue growth. The other three employee reductions were middle management, and other employees assumed their responsibilities. We do not currently anticipate that we will be required to make any other significant changes to our operating structure. Deferred Income Taxes --------------------- Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is more likely than not that benefits from deferred tax assets will be realized. We have recognized a net deferred tax asset of $484,500 as of November 30, 2001. The ultimate realization of this deferred tax asset is dependent upon our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, past earnings history, sales backlog, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforward expiration dates in determining the amount of deferred tax asset to recognize. To fully realize the deferred tax asset, we must generate future taxable income of approximately $1,275,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The valuation allowance for the related deferred tax assets may be increased in future periods if we cannot generate sufficient taxable income to recover the net deferred tax asset. 10 FINANCIAL CONDITION Working capital at November 30, 2001 was $607,245 with a current ratio of 1.9:1, compared to $1,029,555 with a current ratio of 2.3:1 at August 31, 2001. The declines in working capital and current ratio are primarily due to the approximately $416,000 decrease in cash from August 31, 2001 to November 30, 2001, as explained below. Net cash used in operations for the three months ended November 30, 2001 was approximately $273,000. We paid $97,421 in employee severance and unpaid vacation during the current year first quarter as well as $80,000 in legal fees associated with the arbitration proceedings. The remaining use of operating cash flow relates to our operating loss position resulting from the downturn in revenue during the quarter. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2001 approximates $141,000 the majority of which represents our investment in new and enhanced software products. Net cash flows used in financing activities were $2,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002 we secured a line of credit with a bank that provides for maximum borrowing of up to $1,000,000 and is secured by all trade accounts receivable. We anticipate that operating cash flows and the line of credit will be adequate to meet our current obligations and current operating and capital requirements. The funding of long-term needs (including funding for increased product development, expanded marketing and promotion of our products, and for potential merger/acquisition activities) is dependent upon increased revenue and profitability and obtaining funds through outside debt and equity sources. PART II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings On September 12, 2000 we filed an arbitration claim with the American Arbitration Association against Hummingbird USA, Inc. for failing to comply with royalty reporting and payment obligations as outlined in our valued added reseller agreement. We were seeking a one-time royalty payment of $440,000 plus interest and legal fees. On August 31, 2001, the American Arbitration Association awarded us $525,800 in actual damages, $41,702 in transactional costs, and $525,800 for Hummingbird's unfair and deceptive acts and practices. Hummingbird filed a "Motion to Vacate the Arbitration Award" in the federal court system on October 2, 2001. We anticipate that this matter will be resolved sometime during 2002. Item 6.
