For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 1995. 2. Inventories The following is a summary of inventories as of May 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995: May 31, August 31, 1996 1995 ---------------------------- Raw Materials $ 59,756 $ 41,220 Finished Goods 13,204 62,298 ---------------------------- Total Inventories $ 72,960 $ 103,518 ============================ 3. Significant Customer Sales to the Company's Middle East distributor, who is also a stockholder, of $86,045 accounted for 82 percent of the Company's net sales during the three months ended May 31, 1996. 7 4. Related Party Transactions Unified Industries Incorporated (Unified), an affiliate that shares common ownership, provides funding to the Company in the form of cash advances and administrative and management services. Expenses related to such services were $53,726 and $12,117 for the three months ended May 31, 1996 and May 31, 1995, respectively. At May 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995, the Company had notes payable to Unified of $10,000 and $170,000, respectively. The Company also had notes payable to an officer/shareholder for $10,000, bearing interest at 10% and due at various dates from February 1996 through June 1996. In May 1996, these notes were converted to common stock (see Note 5). In July 1994, the Company loaned Mr. Ali Kolaghassi (Kolaghassi), its Middle East distributor and a shareholder (see Note 2), $75,000, which was outstanding at May 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995. Kolaghassi also owed $721,265 as of May 31, 1996 and August 31, 1995, pursuant to product purchases, and $3,641 related to expenses paid on his behalf. Kolaghassi has pledged as security for these amounts $486,663 due from a foreign customer under a completed sale and $376,780 expected to become due under certain pending sales. 5. Equity Transactions Effective May 31, 1996, the Company's board of directors authorized the issuance of additional shares of common stock as discussed below which transaction was effected in May 1996. Fifty five thousand, eight hundred sixty five (55,865) shares were authorized for issuance to Unified in exchange for the cancellation of notes payable and services aggregating $136,312.96 as of May 31, 1996. The notes provided for conversion based on the market price as of the date of each note. By agreement with Unified, the actual conversion price was based on the higher of the market value per share as of the date of each note on May 31, 1996. The average conversion price was $2.44. In March 1996 the Company issued 250,000 shares to W. A. Moumina Trading Establishment ("Moumina") for financial consulting services regarding Moumina's supervision of Pyrocap's investor relations program to be implemented by Continental Capital & Equity Corporation. In March 1996 the Company issued 143,443 shares to Moumina for professional consulting services regarding the use of the Company's fire suppressant and odor mitigation products by Skab, a company in Saudi Arabia. The Company is still in the initial stages of its business arrangement with Skab. 8 6. Income Taxes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109") requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets as of May 31, 1996 are as follows: Deferred tax liabilities: None Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 4,796,306 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets $ 4,796,306 ----------- Net deferred tax assets $ 4,796,306 =========== At May 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,796,306 for financial reporting and income tax purposes which expire, if unused, between 2003 and 2010. For financial reporting purposes a valuation allowance of $4,796,306 has been recognized to offset the tax effect of the deferred tax assets related to those carryforwards. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The Company's principal product is a fire suppressant, PYROCAP B- 136,(trade mark symbol) the primary market for which is municipal governments (both domestically and internationally) and the federal government. The Company has also introduced a series of odor suppression agents for environmental and agricultural use under the trade name ODOR-GO(trade mark symbol). On April 9, 1996, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement with The Colbra Corporation of Jackson, Mississippi, to package and distribute Pyrocap's environmentally friendly fire suppressant formula for retail consumer use. Colbra Corporation will purchase concentrated PYROCAP B-136(trade mark symbol) formula from the company and package it in 13 and 16 ounce, light-weight aluminum canisters designed for personal use in the home and workplace. Colbra Corporation will market the product under the trademark "Fire Cap(trade mark symbol)". Under the agreement, Colbra has the exclusive right to market the Fire Cap(trade mark symbol) canisters in certain parts of the world, including the U.S. In addition to purchasing concentrate from Pyrocap, Colbra will pay a licensing royalty to Pyrocap for unit sales. Also under the agreement, Pyrocap has the exclusive right to market the Fire Cap(trade mark symbol) canisters in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean, and as such will pay a per unit royalty to Colbra for sales in these territories. Pyrocap has already initiated test marketing in all three regions. There can be no assurances with regard to the level of sales the Company might achieve through this arrangement. The Company has focused much of its marketing resources to the ODOR- GO(trade mark symbol) product line. An immediate target for ODOR-GO(trade mark symbol) sales is the Lower Potomac Pollution Control Plant in Fairfax, Virginia, where the Company has found initial success in using its product to reduce odors emanating from the facility. Like the community in Fairfax, Virginia, the Company is working with community action groups, municipal governments, and universities to develop methods to utilize its odor neutralization products to eliminate odors from waste treatment facilities. The Company has already made sales of ODOR-GO 300(trade mark symbol) to other waste treatment facilities and industrial facilities in the state of Maryland. The Company has also initiated sales programs for the ODOR-GO(trade mark symbol) which target the Food-Farm Animal Waste Odor Remediation and Swine Farm Clean-up efforts in North Carolina. The Company is currently working with researchers at North Carolina State 10 University and an independent farming operation to quantify the effects of its ODOR-GO 300(trade mark symbol) chemical additive in not only remediation of odors in hog waste, but the hog farm cleanup market as well. Results of Operations Quarters ended May 31, 1996 and 1995 From its inception in 1988 through August, 1995, the Company's primary efforts were focused on the development, testing and marketing of its fire suppressant product, PYROCAP B-136(trade mark symbol). During the fiscal year ending August 31, 1995, the Company increased efforts to commercialize the product and began to market its odor suppression products, recording total net sales of $1,314,702. Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1996 were $105,243, a decrease of 72 percent as compared to $381,703 in sales for the quarter ended May 31, 1995. The Company's sales efforts continue to be characterized by intermittent, large orders and, as a result, the Company's quarter-to-quarter sales continue to fluctuate widely. Total backlog for all products as of May 31, 1996 was $2,381,400. Net operating results for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were ($157,862), or ($.02) per share, an 542% decrease from a net loss of ($24,587) , or ($.00) per share for the quarter ended May 31, 1995. Management attributes this to decreased sales. Sales for the nine months ended May 31, 1996, were $132,532, a decrease of 87 percent as compared to sales of $983,865 for the same period of fiscal 1995. The Company continued to focus much of its sales effort on securing large annual sales contracts with large private and municipal institutions and civil defense agencies of foreign governments. The Company's gross profit margin increased from 57 percent in the third quarter of 1995 to 58 percent in the third quarter of 1996. Management attributes this increase to lower raw material and production cost related to ODOR-GO 300(trade mark symbol) in the quarter while direct labor costs remained relatively stable. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 1996 were $665,639 as compared to $868,819 for the same period of fiscal 1995. This represents a 23 percent decrease. If the Company is able to convert existing purchase orders to booked sales this fiscal year, management anticipates that such increased sales would absorb a greater percentage of fixed manufacturing costs and with the resulting production efficiencies generated by the 11 manufacturing standardization associated with increased production volume, that gross margin would improve in the remaining quarters of fiscal 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $210,212 during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 to $196,478 during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 due to a decrease in personnel costs associated with the marketing and sales effort and to a temporary reduction of three members of its permanent workforce implemented in January 1996. For the quarter ended May 31, 1996, interest expense decreased to $10,777 from $15,720 for the quarter ended May 31, 1995, due in large part to a substantial reduction in principal due under a loan with a bank. Research and development expenses decreased to $9,149 from $33,596 due to a reduction in major external testing projects and a temporary reduction of two members of its research and development staff. At May 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $4,796,306 for tax purposes which expire, if unused, between the years 2003 and 2010. As a result of the ownership changes during 1993, the net operating loss carry-forwards will be limited in their use in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Balance Sheets Current assets at May 31, 1996, were $1,113,366, a decrease of $37,222 from current assets of $1,150,588 at August 31, 1995. The decrease was principally due to the decrease in inventory due to sales. Total assets at May 31, 1996 were $2,148,646 as compared to $2,225,675 at August 31, 1995. Total current liabilities at May 31, 1996 were $465,867, a decrease of $144,295 from $610,162 at August 31, 1995 due to conversions of notes payable into equity. Total shareholders' equity at May 31, 1996 was $1,084,711, an increase of $544,742 from $539,969 at August 31, 1995 as a result of a sale of equity of $250,000 and other sales of equity and debt conversions which was offset in part by the Company's increased accumulated deficit. At May 31, 1996, the Company was owed approximately $75,000 by its Middle East Distributor for advances made against future commissions to the distributor in order to provide it with short-term working capital. At May 31, 1996, the distributor also owed the Company $721,265 for product purchased, representing 95 percent of the outstanding trade accounts receivable as of that date, and $3,640 for expenses paid on its behalf. The distributor has pledged as security for these amounts $486,663 due from a foreign customer under a contemplated sale and $376,780 expected to become due under certain pending sales. 12 Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital is severely limited. If it is to survive, the Company will need to raise additional capital in the near future or increase sales and quickly convert orders and sales to cash. A portion of the Company's working capital needs during fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996 were met by loans from the Company's chief executive officer and from Unified Industries Incorporated, a major shareholder. Effective May 31, 1996, the Company's board of directors authorized the issuance of additional shares of common stock as discussed below which transaction was effected in May 1996. Fifty five thousand, eight hundred sixty five (55,865) shares were authorized for issuance to Unified in exchange for the cancellation of notes payable aggregating $136,312.96 as of May 31, 1996. The notes provided for conversion based on the market price as of the date of each note. By agreement with Unified, the actual conversion price was based on the higher of the market value per share as of the date of each note on May 31, 1996. The average conversion price was $2.44. The Company is hopeful it will receive payments or letters of credit in the near future for certain product orders received in July through December, 1995, which would provide additional working capital to finance operations. If the Company does not consummate such sales and receive the related payments, however, the Company cannot be assured of having enough capital to operate, if it has not then consummated an additional sale of equity or the proposed sale of certain Mideast distribution rights or the proposed sale of certain European distribution rights for the Company's odor-remediation product. As of May 31, 1996, the Company's capital resources consisted primarily of cash amounting to $2,921. The Company's total current liabilities at that date were approximately $465,867. The Company is currently negotiating with sources of capital for additional equity investment in the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or will consummate the distribution agreements, however, and if it fails to do so, it may be forced into bankruptcy or reorganization. In that regard, the audit report issued in connection with the Company's financial statements for the year ended August 31, 1995, states that there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase sales or obtain additional funding, and that, accordingly, "substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to continue as a going concern." To assist in financing its receivables, the Company has also initiated a program with its major suppliers whereby it may assign proceeds from letters of credit for shipments overseas. The Company has also submitted a letter to the Export-Import Bank for an insurance guarantee for exports to Saudi Arabia. Management believes that such guarantee, if obtained, would 13 enable it to fulfill product orders already received if and when such orders become supported by letters of credit or other irrevocable method of payment. There is no assurance, however, that the application will be approved and that funds will be received. 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings None. Item 2. Changes in Securities.
