 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1           Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Microfield Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000 have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial information as of December 30, 2000 is derived from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 30, 2000.  In the opinion of Company’s management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any portion thereof.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of December.  The Company’s current fiscal year is the 52-week period ending December 29, 2001.  The Company’s last fiscal year was the 52-week period ended December 30, 2000. The Company’s second fiscal quarters in fiscal 2001 and 2000 were the 13-week periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively.

 2.         Discontinued Operations

On September 7, 2000, the Company entered into definitive agreement with Greensteel, Inc. (Greensteel), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PolyVision Corporation, for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets used in the SoftBoard operations.  The terms of the asset sale called for Greensteel to pay the Company up to $3,500,000, with $2,000,000 payable at the closing of the transaction and up to an additional $1,500,000 in contingent earn-out payments based on net sales of the Company’s SoftBoard products over a five-year period.  The Company retained cash, accounts receivable and the majority of the outstanding liabilities.  Shareholders approved the agreement and the transaction was finalized on October 24, 2000.

As a result of shareholder approval of the Greensteel agreement, discontinued operations accounting treatment has been applied to the SoftBoard operation.  Accordingly, the net loss incurred from the SoftBoard operations is reported in loss from discontinued operations for all periods presented to reflect the reclassification of these operations as discontinued.  Also, cash flows from the SoftBoard operations are reported as “net cash used by discontinued operations” whether associated with operating, investing or financing activities.

 Revenues from discontinued SoftBoard operations were $ 1,523,462 for the six months ended July 1, 2000.

 

3.          New Accounting Pronouncements

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues FASB Statement No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  FAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and certain other intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach.  Upon adoption of FAS 142, goodwill and certain other intangible assets will be tested at the reporting unit annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill and certain other intangible assets might be impaired.  Amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease.  The adoption date for the Company will be January 1, 2002.  The Company has not yet determined what the impact of FAS 142 will be on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.  SFAS No. 141 establishes new standards for accounting and reporting requirements for business combinations and will require that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.  Use of the pooling-of-interest method will be prohibited.  The Company expects to adopt this statement during the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  Management does not believe that SFAS No. 141 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Prior to October 24, 2000 Microfield Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”) developed, manufactured, and marketed computer conferencing and telecommunications products that facilitate group communications. The Company’s product lines consisted of a series of digital whiteboards, interactive rear projection systems, and interactive plasma display systems sold under the brand name SoftBoard, along with a variety of application software packages, supplies and accessories.  Information written or drawn on the SoftBoard surface is recorded and displayed on a personal computer simultaneously and in color and utilized proprietary technology that had been owned by the Company.

On October 24, 2000 the assets of the company that were utilized in operating the SoftBoard business  were sold to Greensteel, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of PolyVision Corporation.  The Company has not been engaged in continuing operations since that date.  The Company is exploring entering into new lines of business through specific strategic acquisitions.  While the Company has no current agreements with respect to any acquisition, it is actively exploring acquisition transactions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As of October 24, 2000, the Company sold its SoftBoard operations to Greensteel, Inc.  The financial data presented in the Company’s financial statements has been retroactively reclassified to present the SoftBoard operations as discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, and July 1, 2000.  Therefore, no comparative data regarding sales, gross profit, research and development expenses, or marketing and sales expenses have been presented as they are not representative of the Company’s current activities.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses declined approximately 23% from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2001.  The decline was primarily due to decreased expenditures for the Company in regard to the transition period related to the October 24, 2000 sale.

Other income declined from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2001 by approximately 28%. Other income during the first quarter of 2001 consisted of $45,000 in consulting fees earned as a result of an agreement between the Company and Christenson Electric, Inc, and interest income earned in the amount of $ 8,776.  The Christenson agreement was discontinued effective April 30, 2001.  Other income during the second quarter of 2001 consisted primarily of approximately $17,000 of disputed accounts payable issues that were resolved in the Company’s favor, interest income in the sum of $6,331, and $15,000 in consulting fees from Christenson Electric, Inc., as discussed above.  It is anticipated that other income during the third quarter of 2001 will consist primarily of interest income.

The Company has no ongoing operations at June 30, 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations and capital expenditures through public and private sales of equity securities, cash from operations, and borrowings under bank lines of credit. At June 30, 2001 the Company had working capital of approximately $549,352 and its principal source of liquidity consisted of $600,591 in cash and cash equivalents.  Accounts receivable decreased $93,000 to $6,000 at June 30, 2001 from $99,000 at December 30, 2000. Accounts payable decreased  $49,000 to $38,000 at June 30, 2001 compared to $87,000 at December 30, 2000.  The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to sustain its business for the remainder of the year.

The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures in material amounts.

The Company was incorporated in Oregon in 1986. The Company’s executive offices are located at 7324 SW Durham Rd, Portland, OR  97224. 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On January 28, 2000, a class action complaint, Adair v. Microfield Graphics, Inc. Et ano., 00 Civ. 0629 (MBM), was filed against the Company in United States District Court Southern District of New York.  The complaint alleges that the Company and its Chief Executive Officer issued false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s purchase agreement with 3M.  The complaint alleges that, as a result of these allegedly material misstatements and omissions, the Company’s stock price was artificially inflated during the period from July 23, 1998 through April 2, 1999 and requests that damages be determined at trial.  The Company denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself.

In April 2000, the Company filed a motion to transfer venue of the action to the District of Oregon. The Company’s motion was granted on November 14, 2000. On July 13, 2001, the United States District Court for the District of Oregon entered a Preliminary Order providing for, among other things, a fairness hearing by the Court to be held on September 24, 2001 to consider the  proposed settlement arrived at by the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, and the lead plaintiffs. The proposed settlement provides that all claims asserted in the action be dismissed and settled, subject to final Court approval. Under the proposed settlement, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer deny liability and any and all wrongdoing. The proposed settlement provides for the payment of $455,000 in full, complete, and final settlement of any and all claims. The Company’s Directors and Officers insurance coverage provides for liability coverage up to $4,000,000 and is expected to cover the full amount of the proposed settlement.
