The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 TURBOCHEF TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 2002 1) Basis of Presentation TurboChef Technologies, Inc. ("TurboChef" or "the Company") was incorporated on April 3, 1991. The Company is engaged primarily in designing, developing and marketing its proprietary rapid cook technologies. TurboChef's proprietary rapid cook oven, which requires no ventilation, employs a combination of high speed forced air and microwave energy to "cook-to-order" a variety of food products at faster speeds and to quality standards comparable, and in many instances superior to, other conventional commercial and residential ovens currently available. The Company's commercial oven employs the Company's proprietary cooking technologies to quickly, efficiently and evenly transfer, disperse and control the heat used in the cooking process. In addition, because of the TurboChef oven's moisture retention, browning, crisping and toasting capabilities, the Company believes that the characteristics of most food items cooked in a TurboChef oven (including their flavor, texture and appearance) are superior in quality to those achieved using most other cooking methods. Management believes that the Company operates in one primary business segment. The financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and have not been audited by independent public accountants. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consisted only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted from these statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. The December 31, 2001 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2001, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the aforementioned Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts in prior period's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Basic net loss per common share is based on 19,046,644 and 15,858,918 weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 basic net loss per common share is based on 18,746,323 and 15,794,031 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not report any incremental shares of potentially dilutive stock, as their effect was anti-dilutive. 6 2) Liquidity TurboChef's capital requirements in connection with its product and technology development and marketing efforts have been and will continue to be significant. Additional capital will be required to operate and expand the Company's operations. Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and has been substantially dependent on loans and capital contributions from its principal stockholders and proceeds from the sale of its securities. Furthermore, the Company will continue to be dependent on outside sources of financing for the foreseeable future to fund its working capital needs. The Company anticipates that it may need to raise additional capital by the fourth quarter of 2002. No assurances can be made that the Company will generate the necessary sales from its rapid cook ovens or from the proceeds from the sales of its securities or other financing sources to generate the necessary working capital. As a result of these conditions, the independent certified public accountant's report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has, and will continue to hold inventory, due to its long manufacturing cycle. As of June 30, 2002, the Company held $1,478,000 of finished goods inventory (ovens), $61,000 of demonstration inventory (ovens used for customer demonstrations, tests and pilot programs) and $1,077,000 of parts inventory (used for manufacturing and service). The Company will offer demonstration inventory free of charge or at reduced prices to certain potentially large customers, who wish to test and evaluate an oven prior to purchase. Should sales fail to materialize, or materialize at slower rates than currently anticipated by the Company, additional working capital will be required to cover the carrying costs of component parts and purchase completed ovens. No assurances can be made that the Company will generate the necessary sales of its ovens or from the proceeds from the sales of its securities or other financing sources to generate the necessary working capital. In March 2002, the Company agreed to purchase from the Shandong Xiaoya Group ("Xiaoya") approximately $14 million of C-3 ovens over a seventeen month period. In addition, in connection with the manufacturing agreement the Company will be required to use working capital to purchase certain component parts that will be supplied to Xiaoya for use in the ovens. Although the Company entered into the agreement with Xiaoya in anticipation that its sales of C-3 ovens will increase from current levels, there can be no such assurance that any sales will materialize. The Company does not currently have a significant number of purchase orders or firm commitments to purchase ovens in the future. The Company is currently exploring alternative sources of financing for its inventory and receivables. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in developing any of these sources or that any terms that may be offered will be acceptable to the Company. In February 2002, the Company and Whitbread Group PLC ("Whitbread") entered into an agreement to terminate an extended warranty originally purchased by Whitbread, from the Company, in September 1999. Under the new agreement, TurboChef is required to pay Whitbread (pound)460,000 (approximately $670,000) plus VAT over a 24 month period, beginning in March 2002. In return, Whitbread will release TurboChef from its obligation to continue its warranty on 260 older model ovens. On signing the agreement, TurboChef made an initial payment to Whitbread of (pound)50,000 (approximately $72,000) plus VAT and thereafter has agreed to pay (pound)15,000 (approximately $22,000) plus VAT a month for the next 24 months, with a final payment of (pound)50,000 plus VAT due the final month. 7 The Company continues to expand its direct sales efforts and estimates that approximately $150,000 per month in operating costs has been added since December 31, 2001. In addition, additional working capital will be required should the Company pursue the development, manufacturing and marketing of a residential oven. The Company does not currently anticipate any significant increases in lease payments or any other long-term fixed obligations from current levels during the remainder of fiscal 2002. The Company anticipates that it will need to obtain additional sources of funding in order to continue its ongoing operations as currently conducted. However, no assurances can be made that the Company will actually obtain the necessary funding to finance its operations. A failure to obtain additional funding would have significant adverse effects on the Company. All of the above factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 3) Long-Term Contracts In March 2002, the Company agreed to purchase from Xiaoya approximately $14 million of C-3 ovens over a seventeen month period. Although the Company entered into the agreement with Xiaoya in anticipation that its sales of C-3 ovens will increase from then current levels, there can be no such assurance that any sales will materialize. The Company does not currently have a significant number of purchase orders or firm commitments to purchase ovens in the future. In February 2002, the Company and Whitbread entered into an agreement to terminate an extended warranty originally purchased in September, 1999. Under the new agreement, TurboChef is required to pay Whitbread (pound)460,000 (approximately $670,000) plus VAT over a 24 month period, beginning in March 2002. In return, Whitbread will release TurboChef from its obligation to continue its warranty on 260 older model ovens. 4) Authoritative Pronouncements In June 2001, respectively, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), effective for years beginning after December 31, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company did not recognize goodwill amortization in prior periods. The company also evaluated its other intangible assets and concluded that no additional adjustments were needed to reduce the book value of these assets. The Company will continue to evaluate these assets on a quarterly basis and make any and all required adjustments. In June 2001 and August 2001, respectively, FASB finalized Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143) and Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 143 requires that the fair value for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the carrying amount of the asset, including capitalized asset retirement costs, be tested for impairment. SFAS 143 is effective for 8 fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management does not believe this statement will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. SFAS 144 prescribes financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, and specifies when to test a long-lived asset for recoverability. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted this new rule. Management has determined that this will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS 145). This statement eliminates the current requirement that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary classification. In addition, SFAS 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The changes related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Adoption of this standard will not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. On June 20, 2002, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a partial consensus on Issue No. 02-03, Recognition and Reporting of Gains and Losses on Energy Trading Contracts under EITF Issues No. 98-10, Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities, and No. 00-17, Measuring the Fair Value of Energy-Related Contracts in Applying Issue No. 98-10. The EITF concluded that, effective for periods ending after July 15, 2002, mark-to-market gains and losses on energy trading contracts (includes those to be physically settled) must be retroactively presented on a net basis in earnings. Also, companies must disclose volumes of physically-settled energy trading contracts. Adoption of this standard will not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a companys commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 5) Subsequent Events In July, 2002, the Company issue a Promissory Note of $1,000,000 to Grand Cheer Company LTD ("Grand Cheer"), a principal stockholder of the Company, which is secured by 350 C-3 ovens. The note is due on October 15, 2002. A non-cash finance charge of $200,000 is payable upon the maturity of the note through a reduction in the exercise price from $1.20 to $1.00 for 1,000,000 warrants previously issued to Grand Cheer upon their purchase of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The $200,000 finance charge will be recorded as interest expense during the third quarter of 2002. Critical Accounting Estimates We have identified certain accounting policies as critical to our business and to the results of our operations which entail significant estimates. These critical policies are further discussed below. There are other significant accounting policies followed by us, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and primarily consist of ovens and replacements parts. The Company determines cost for ovens by the specific cost method. Freight costs are included in costs of goods sold. Ovens used for demonstration and testing are generally depreciated over a one-year period. Product Warranty The Company's rapid cook ovens are under warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year. Anticipated future warranty costs are estimated, based upon historical expenses, and are recorded in the period cooking systems are sold. Revenue Revenue is recognized when substantially all obligations relating to the sales are completed. The revenue cycle is substantially complete after installation; therefore, revenue is recognized after installation for sales directly to customers. Inventory is shipped to a customer designated agent when the customer has assumed responsibility for installation. For sales where the customer has assumed the installation responsibility, substantially all obligations are completed relating to the sale of the product at the time of delivery to the customer designated agent. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of TurboChef Technologies, Inc. to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: the ability to obtain additional financing necessary to continue operations; the uncertainty of consumer acceptance of new products or technologies that may be offered by TurboChef; the need to hire and retain key personnel; relationships with and dependence on third-party equipment manufacturers and suppliers; uncertainties relating to business and economic conditions in markets in which TurboChef operates; uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments; potential performance issues with suppliers; the highly competitive environment in which TurboChef operates; potential entry of new, well-capitalized competitors into the markets served by TurboChef; uncertainties inherent in international sales including foreign currency fluctuations; uncertainty regarding strategic relationships and alliances and the ability to protect TurboChef's proprietary information. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," and "plan" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the statement was made. TurboChef undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.. GENERAL The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. 9 The Company is engaged primarily in designing, developing and marketing its proprietary rapid cook technologies. TurboChef's proprietary rapid cook ovens, which requires no ventilation, employs a combination of high speed forced air and microwave energy to "cook-to-order" a variety of food products at faster speeds and to quality standards comparable, and in many instances superior to, other conventional commercial and residential ovens currently available. The Company's commercial ovens employs the Company's proprietary cooking technologies to quickly, efficiently and evenly transfer, disperse and control the heat used in the cooking process. In addition, because of the TurboChef oven's moisture retention, browning, crisping and toasting capabilities, the Company believes that the characteristics of most food items cooked in a TurboChef cooking oven (including their flavor, texture and appearance) are superior in quality to those achieved using most other cooking methods. The Company believes its technology offers the following unique features to its customers: . Cooking speeds 5-10 times faster than a conventional oven . Quality is equal to or higher than a conventional oven . Maintains high consistency of cooked product . Versatility of cooking platform (bake, broil, grill, air fried, poached and steamed cooking profiles) . Ventless operation . Through the Company's Menu in a Minute software technology, the menus and cook settings can be easily changed with minimal labor cost The Company launched the current version of its commercial oven, the TurboChef C-3, in the second quarter of 2000. To date, the TurboChef rapid cook oven has provided cooking solutions to various quick service restaurants, convenience stores, hotels and traditional restaurants in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. In addition, the Company has provided cooking solutions to non-traditional operators in the food service business such as stadiums, cinemas and service stations. The Company currently sells its C-3 oven through a direct sales force in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia. Until May 2001, the Company's C-3 ovens were marketed in the United States through Maytag Corporation ("Maytag") and its subsidiary, G. S. Blodgett ("Blodgett"), pursuant to the terms of a series of agreements in which the Company granted them the exclusive right to sell its C-3 ovens in North America. Under the agreements the Company retained the right to sell directly outside of North America, with the exception of selling to U.S. based customers overseas. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company and Maytag entered into arbitration with respect to certain disputes under the agreements which arbitration is pending (see Part 2, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings). In May 2001, the Company regained from Maytag and Blodgett the right to sell its C-3 ovens products directly in the United States and began building its own sales force to make direct oven sales. The Company is currently expanding its direct marketing and sales efforts throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia. The Company's primary sales office is located in Dallas, Texas. In addition, the Company has sales offices in New York, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. In addition to its direct sales force, the Company is in the process of seeking to develop multiple distribution channels through the use of third party distributors, manufactures representatives, agents and 10 wholesale food distributors. The Company is also considering entering into strategic marketing alliances with third parties who have established relationships or synergies with mutual prospective customers. In the second quarter of 2000, TurboChef established a manufacturing venture with Xiaoya, in China in which Xiaoya was granted the exclusive manufacturing rights for the C-3 oven. In March 2002, TurboChef signed a new agreement to purchase approximately $14 million of C-3 ovens from Xiaoya over the next 17 months. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $905,000, compared to revenues of $778,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to a 51% increase in the number of C-3 ovens sold during the period. This increase is principally due to sales generated through trade shows, direct marketing and continued sales efforts with new and existing customers. Approximately 23% of the sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were to one customer. Continued sales to this customer are anticipated to be material during the remainder of fiscal 2002. There were no research and development or royalty revenues in the first or second quarter of 2002 or 2001. Cost of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $414,000 compared to $372,000 for cost of sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase of $42,000 is principally due to an increase in the number of C-3 ovens sold during the recent quarter. Gross profit on product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $85,000 to $491,000, when compared to gross profit on product sales of $406,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. This increase is due primarily to a greater number of C-3 ovens sold and a lower manufacturing cost of ovens sold in the first quarter of 2002, offset in part by a lower average sales price received on the ovens. The lower average sales price is principally due to an increase in sales to customers that purchase in greater volume and therefore, receive quantity discounts. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 decreased $139,000, to $142,000, as compared to $281,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in research and development expense principally relates to a reduction in payroll and related expenses of $79,000 and occupancy expenses totaling $37,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $724,000, to $2,136,000 from comparable expenses of $1,412,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase is primarily due to an increase in general administrative costs, which included additional salaries of $308,000 and other sales and marketing expenses of $398,000. In addition, the Company accrued $100,000 relating to the settlement of a lawsuit with a former vendor and $51,000 related to restructuring charges in the United Kingdom. These increases were due to the Company's continued expansion of sales and marketing departments after Maytag terminated the commercial License Agreement (see Part 2, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings) in the first quarter of 2001. Other income was $11,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared to $60,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in income is attributable to $32,000 foreign exchange gains recorded in the second quarter of 2001, as compared to a loss of $1,000 in the second quarter of 2002 and a decrease in interest income of $15,000, principally due to a decrease in cash balances. 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $2,734,000, compared to revenues of $1,259,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to a 156% increase in unit sales of C-3 ovens sold during the period. This increase is principally due to sales generated through trade shows, direct marketing and continued sales efforts with new and existing customers. Approximately 30% of the sales during the six months ended June 30, 2002 were to one customer. Continued sales to this customer are anticipated to be material during the remainder of fiscal 2002. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $1,413,000 an increase of $744,000 for the cost of sales of $669,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is principally due to an increase in the number of C-3 ovens sold during the comparable periods. Gross profit/(loss) on product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $731,000 to $1,321,000, when compared to a gross profit/(loss) on product sales of $590,000 during the six months ended June 30,2001. The increase is due primarily to an increase in sales of C-3 ovens, offset in part, by a lower average gross margin earned on the ovens sold during the period. The lower average sales price is principally due to an increase in sales to customers that purchase in greater volume and therefore, receive quantity discounts. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 decreased $379,000, to $310,000, as compared to $689,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in research and development expense principally relates to a reduction in payroll and related expenses of $256,000 and a reduction of occupancy expenses of $61,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1,236,000, to $4,077,000 from comparable expenses of $2,841,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is principally due to an increase in travel, trade show and related marketing expenditures of $434,000, an increase in salaries and consulting services of $350,000, an increase in non-cash compensation expenses of $238,000 and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $104,000. Other income was $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $74,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The $19,000 decrease in other income is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES TurboChef's capital requirements in connection with its product and technology development and marketing efforts have been and will continue to be significant. Additional capital will be required to operate and expand the Company's operations. Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and has been substantially dependent on loans and capital contributions from its principal stockholders and proceeds from the sale of its securities. Furthermore, the Company will continue to be dependent on outside sources of financing for the foreseeable future to fund its working capital needs. The Company anticipates that it may need to raise additional capital by the fourth quarter of 2002. No assurances can be made that the Company will generate the necessary sales from its rapid cook systems or from the proceeds from the sales of its securities or other financing sources to generate the necessary working capital. As a result of these conditions, the independent certified public accountant's report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 12 The Company has, and will continue to hold inventory, due to its long manufacturing cycle. As of June 30, 2002, the Company held $1,478,000 of finished goods inventory (ovens), $61,000 of demonstration inventory (ovens used for customer demonstrations, tests and pilot programs) and $1,077,000 of parts inventory (used for manufacturing and service). The Company will offer demonstration inventory free of charge or at reduced prices to certain potentially large customers, who wish to test and evaluate an oven prior to purchase. Should sales fail to materialize, or materialize at slower rates than currently anticipated by the Company, additional working capital will be required to cover the carrying costs of component parts and purchase completed ovens. No assurances can be made that the Company will generate the necessary sales of its ovens or from the proceeds from the sales of its securities or other financing sources to generate the necessary working capital. In March 2002, the Company agreed to purchase from Xiaoya approximately $14 million of C-3 ovens over a seventeen month period. In addition, in connection with the manufacturing agreement the Company will be required to use working capital to purchase certain component parts that will be supplied to Xiaoya for use in the ovens. Although the Company entered into the agreement with Xiaoya in anticipation that its sales of C-3 ovens will increase from current levels, there can be no such assurance that any sales will materialize. The Company does not currently have a significant number of purchase orders or firm commitments to purchase ovens in the future. The Company is currently exploring alternative sources of financing for its inventory and receivables. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in developing any of these sources or that any terms that may be offered will be acceptable to the Company. In February 2002, the Company and Whitbread entered into an agreement to terminate an extended warranty originally purchased in September, 1999. Under the new agreement, TurboChef is required to pay Whitbread(pound)460,000 (approximately $670,000) plus VAT over a 24 month period, beginning in March 2002. In return, Whitbread will release TurboChef from its obligation to continue its warranty on 260 older model ovens. On signing the agreement, TurboChef will make an initial payment to Whitbread of(pound)50,000 (approximately $72,000) plus VAT and thereafter pay(pound)15,000 (approximately $22,000) plus VAT a month for the next 24 months, with a final payment of (pound)50,000 plus VAT due the final month. In July, 2002, the Company issue a Promissory Note of $1,000,000 to Grand Cheer Company LTD. ("Grand Cheer"), a principal stockholder of the Company which is secured by 350 C-3 ovens. The note is due on October 15, 2002. A non-cash finance charge of $200,000 is payable upon the maturity of the note through a reduction in the exercise price from $1.20 to $1.00 for 1,000,000 warrants previously issued to Grand Cheer upon their purchase of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The $200,000 finance charge will be recorded as interest expense during the third quarter of 2002. The Company continues to expand its direct sales efforts and estimates that approximately $150,000 per month in operating costs has been added since December 31, 2001. In addition, additional working capital will be required should the Company pursue the development, manufacturing and marketing of a residential oven. The Company does not currently anticipate any significant increases in lease payments or any other long-term fixed obligations from current levels during the remainder of 2002. At June 30, 2002, the Company had working capital of $1,810,000 as compared to working capital of $4,485,000 at December 31, 2001. The $2,675,000 working capital decrease resulted primarily from operating losses incurred during the first half of 2002. 13 Cash used in operating activities was $3,797,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3,279,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The net loss of $3,011,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, included $233,000 of non-cash charges (depreciation, amortization, non-cash interest and non-cash compensation expenses), as compared to $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was negatively impacted by increases in accounts receivable ($737,000) and inventory ($850,000) and decreases (payments) on accrued expenses of $150,000. These operating cash requirements were partially offset by an increase in accrued accounts payable of $657,000. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $40,000, compared to $36,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The uses of cash were made up of capital equipment purchases during the periods. The Company anticipates an increase in capital expenditures to approximately $100,000 during fiscal 2002, in order to build its global sales and marketing infrastructure. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $31,000 compared to $3,500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. During the first six months of 2001, the Company raised $2,000,000 from the sale of its Series B convertible preferred and $1,000,000 from the issuance of a 8% promissory note and $500,000 from the sale of common stock. At June 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $692,000, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1,602,000 at December 31, 2001. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Approximately 46% of the Company's revenues in the second quarter of 2002 were derived from sales outside of the United States, and its territories. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, approximately 38% of the Company's revenues were derived from sales outside of the United States, and its territories. These sales and related accounts receivable, the salaries of employees located outside of the United States and approximately 20% of selling, general and administrative expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, including British pounds and the Euro. The Company is subject to risk of financial loss resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates of these currencies against the US dollar. As of June 30, 2002, the Company does not have any assets or liabilities that have the potential for market risk that would affect the operating results or cash flow of the Company and is not engaged in any hedging activity. 14 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In 2001, the Company commenced an arbitration proceeding in Texas against its former strategic partner, the Maytag Corporation ("Maytag"). In July 2002, in response to an Iowa court proceeding brought by Maytag which is discussed below, the Company filed an amended arbitration claim removing two of its pending claims from the Texas arbitration which claims may be filed as a future arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts. Maytag has made certain counterclaims against the Company in the arbitration and is seeking in excess of $70 million in damages under its counterclaims. The Company believes that Maytag's claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against Maytag's allegations. In May 2002, Maytag filed a complaint in Iowa federal court seeking, among other things, to require that two of the Company's claims originally filed and pending in the Texas arbitration be decided only in a separate arbitration proceeding in Boston, Massachusetts. As noted above, the Company determined not to oppose Maytag's claim to arbitrate certain of the Company's claims in Boston, Massachusetts. In addition, Maytag's complaint in the Iowa proceeding also alleges that the Company publicized false and misleading statements about Maytag's use of the Company's intellectual property in its residential appliances in a January 2002 press release and in certain other unidentified statements. Based upon this allegation, Maytag asserts claims that the Company caused false advertising with respect to Maytag's goods and services, that the Company has intentionally interfered with Maytag's prospective business, that the Company has defamed Maytag and that the Company has unfairly competed with Maytag. Unlike Maytag's counterclaims in the Texas arbitration proceeding, its complaint in the Iowa proceeding does not specify the dollar amount of damages sought. In July 2002, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Maytag complaint or, in the alternative, stay the Iowa proceeding pending resolution of the Texas arbitration. Maytag has not responded to this motion. The Company believes that, other than with respect to Maytag's claim for removal of certain of the Company's Texas arbitration claims to Boston, Maytag's allegations are without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend this action. The outcome of any litigation is uncertain and an unfavorable outcome could have an adverse effect on our operating results and future operations. Since the outcome of the arbitration proceeding is uncertain, no adjustments have been made to the financial statements. 15 ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. In April 2002, the Company issued 57,985 shares of its $.01 per share par value common stock in lieu of a cash dividend due upon the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In April 2002, the Company issued 33,529 shares of its $.01 per share par value common stock in lieu of a cash dividend and interest payment due upon the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. These issuance's were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 3(a)(9) and/or Section 4(2), respectively, of the Securities Act of 1933.
