SEE ACCOMPANYING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 4 Myrient, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Myrient, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended November 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2003. Our auditors have not reviewed the November 30, 2002 financial statements. 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, 2002. 2. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS On September 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"). SOP 98-1 identifies three stages of a typical software development project: preliminary project stage, application development stage, and the post-implementation stage. As required by SOP 98-1, the Company capitalizes certain qualifying costs (primarily employee salary expense) incurred during the application development stage. All other internal use development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company has been developing certain computer software projects since the third quarter of the fiscal year 2001 and incurred research and development cost in the prior year. The adoption of SOP 98-1 in the prior year did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows for the year. The Company did not incur research & development costs during the quarter ended November 30, 2002. Amortization of capitalized computer software development cost is provided on a project-by-project basis on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the products (not to exceed five years). The carrying value of capitalized computer software development cost is periodically reviewed, and a loss is recognized when the value of estimated undiscounted cash flow benefit related to the asset falls below the unamortized cost, consistent with the Company's policy regarding long-lived assets. 5 Myrient, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. At November 30, 2002, management determined that none of the Company's remaining long-lived asset were subject to impairment. 4. LOSS PER SHARE The Company has adopted Statement of Accounting of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128") "Earnings per Share." Under SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Stock options and warrants outstanding on November 30, 2002 and 2001 are not considered common stock equivalents, as the affect on net loss per share would be anti-dilutive. 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS No. 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers in annual consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for its operations and manages its business as one segment. 6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," established the standard for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 has not materially impacted the Company's financial position or results of operations, as the Company has no items of comprehensive income. 7. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure. The Company may from time to time be involved in various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations or discrimination, or breach of contract actions incidental to the normal operations of its business. The Company is currently not involved in any such litigation which 6 Myrient, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 7. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, CONTINUED management believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. 8. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109 deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of attributable differences between the tax bases and reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be recovered. 9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for non-employee stock based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. However, SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost related to stock and stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock issued to Employees". Under APB 25, compensation cost, if any, is recognized over the respective vesting period based on the difference, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock and the grant price. Entities electing to remain with the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation to employees under APB 25. 10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS No. 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within these fiscal years, with early adoption encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 during fiscal year 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not materially impact its financial statements. On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued Statement 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64,Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." FASB 145 rescinds Statement 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. Early application of the provisions of FASB 145 may be as of the beginning of the fiscal year or as of the beginning of the interim period in which FASB 145 is issued. The Company has elected to adopt FASB 145 as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year, and accordingly, reflected all gains on debt extinguishments during the fiscal year (totaling $1,560,529) as other income instead of extraordinary in the accompanying statements of operations. 11. GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of November 30, 2002, the Company has negative working capital of approximately $15,449,833, is in default on substantially all notes payable, and has a stockholders' deficit of approximately $21,556,617. The Company hopes to continue to increase revenues from additional revenue sources and increase margins as a result of amending its contracts with vendors and other cost cutting measures. In the absence of significant revenues and profits, the Company intends to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing arrangements which management believes may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2003. Therefore, the Company may be required to seek additional funds to finance its long-term operations. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results. 7 These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 12. COMMON STOCK AND ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL In the first quarter ended November 30, 2002, the Company sold to an employee 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a 15% discount from the closing price at the date of the transaction in exchange for a subscription receivable in the amount of $30,000. In the first quarter ended November 30, 2002, the Company issued 1,469,389 shares of common stock, valued at $26,688 (based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant) to employees in lieu of net pay and employee bonuses. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company issued a total of 15,402,122 shares of the common stock valued at $1,018,191 (based on the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance) for conversion of $988,235 of related party debt and $29,957 of related accrued interest. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company sold a total of 1,916,668 shares of common stock for proceeds of $175,000. During the year ended August 31, 2002, an employee exercised options to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock for total proceeds of $1,800. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock to a third party as part of a settlement for terminating certain operating lease agreements. These shares were valued at $3,300 based on the fair market value on the date of grant. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock to a third party for the purchase of certain fixed assets. These shares were valued at $8,000 based on the fair market value on the date of grant. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company cancelled and returned to the Company's treasury 500,000 shares of common stock previously issued to Seven Keys Development Trust ("Seven Keys"), of which Robert C. Weaver, Jr., the Company's former director, is a trustee. The Company had investigated and concluded that these cancelled shares were issued upon the exercise of the unauthorized stock options granted by William J. Kettle, the Company's former Chairman of the Board Directors and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of this transaction the Company accrued the original $15,500 Robert Weaver paid for the shares and offset this accrued liability against additional paid in capital. Prior to August 31, 2002, Seven Keys obtained a judgment against the Company in the amount of $310,000. The Company has accrued this amount in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet, and has expensed the judgment amount as settlement cost in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2002. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company issued to several of its employees a total of 4,277,767 shares of common stock valued at $398,256 (based on the closing bid prices of the Company's common stock on the dates of issuance), which was recorded as compensation expense. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company issued to several outside consultants a total of 838,495 shares of common stock valued at $76,446 (based on the closing bid prices of the Company's common stock on the dates of issuance), which was recorded as consulting expense. 8 Myrient, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 12. COMMON STOCK AND ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL, CONTINUED In January 2002, the Company issued 30,000 shares of its common stock to a third party as part of a settlement for terminating certain operating lease agreements. These shares were valued at $3,300 based on the fair market value on the date of grant. In April 2002, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock to a third party for the purchase of certain fixed assets. These shares were valued at $8,000 based on the fair market value on the date of grant. In December 2001, the Company cancelled and returned to the Company's treasury 500,000 shares of common stock previously issued to Seven Keys Development Trust, of which Robert C. Weaver, Jr., the Company's former director, is a trustee. The Company had investigated and concluded that these cancelled shares were issued upon the exercise of the unauthorized stock options granted by William J. Kettle, the Company's former Chairman of the Board Directors and Chief Executive Officer. During the quarter ended May 31, 2002 the Company accrued the original $15,500 Robert Weaver paid for the shares and offset this accrued liability against additional paid in capital. 13. NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable consists of the following as of November 30, 2002: Unsecured note payable to a vendor pursuant to the terms of an agreement to convert a trade account payable into a note payable. The note requires various monthly payments of principal and interest beginning in April 2002 and a balloon payment in December 2009, bears interest at 12% per annum, and contains prepayment incentives that provide the Company with potential debt forgiveness in future years if certain payments are made. The Company did not make any of the scheduled payments, and therefore the entire amount of this note has been presented as current debt. The Company is negotiating with the vendor to restructure this debt. $ 5,500,000 Unsecured note payable to a vendor per the terms of a settlement agreement, which converted an accounts payable balance into a note payable during fiscal year 2002. This note requires various quarterly payments of principal beginning in August 2004 with the final payment due in August 2007. Interest will be accrued on the outstanding balance at a rate of 6% per annum, but will be paid quarterly after the principal payments have been completed. 2,000,000 Unsecured note payable to a vendor pursuant to the terms of a judgment entered against the Company. This note has no stipulated payment terms, and accrues interest on the outstanding balance at a rate of 10% per annum. The Company is currently negotiating the terms of this note with the vendor. Due to uncertainties regarding the timing of the payment obligations, the entire amount of this note has been presented as current debt. 1,398,446 Secured convertible note payable to a financial institution. Secured by substantially all assets of the Company. This note bears interest at the prime rate (4.75% at August 31, 2002) plus 2%, and was due May 30, 2002. This note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of the share price on the date of agreement or at a 30% discount of the share price as of the date of conversion. The note calls for various monthly payments of principal and interest with a balloon payment due in May 2002. The Company did not make the required monthly payments or the balloon payment, and therefore the entire amount of this note has been presented as current debt. 875,000 Unsecured advances from the Company's former Vice-Chairman and CEO. These advances were later evidenced by certain demand notes upon which the Company has not made any payments. The Company has retained outside legal counsel and consultants to investigate the substance and propriety of all dealings between the Company and the former Vice-Chairman and CEO. These advances are due on demand and bear no interest. Accordingly, the entire amount of this note has been presented as current debt. 847,017 Unsecured note payable to Mesora Investments LLC ("Mesora") a shareholder. This note is secured by certain shares of common stock repurchased by the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company's former CEO. This note bears interest at 12% per annum, provides for payment of principal and interest by May 2001. The Company has not made the required payments under this note, and a judgment has been entered in favor of Mesora against the Company and the former CEO for the entire amount of the debt plus interest and collection costs. 700,000 9 Unsecured note payable to a leasing company in settlement of certain operating lease obligations during fiscal year 2002. This note was originally non- interest bearing with payments totaling $610,000, and payments ranging from $10,000 to $40,000 beginning in June 2002. During fiscal 2002, the Company did not make the required payments. Accordingly, the interest rate increased to 18% per annum, per the terms of the agreement. As a result of the default the entire amount of this note has been presented as current debt. 609,000 Secured note payable to a financial institution with various monthly principal payments and a balloon payment due in May 2002. This line is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. This note bears interest as 10% per annum. The Company failed to make the required monthly payments due under this note, and has therefore presented the entire amount as current debt. The Company is negotiating with this financial institution to restructure this debt. 523,734 Secured line of credit with a financial institution bearing interest at 10% per annum. This line was agreed to be secured by 1,000,000 shares of the Company common stock owned by the current CEO. This line was due in September 2001, and no further draws are available to the Company. Based on current ongoing investigations surrounding this arrangement, the Company has retained outside counsel and consultants to investigate the substance and propriety of all financial dealings between the Company and the issuer of this line of credit and all persons and entities affiliated with it. Due to the fact that the line is fully matured, and no further advances are available, the Company has presented the entire amount of this debt in the current portion of notes payable. 500,000 Other various unsecured notes payable to individuals and vendors (from judgments or settlement agreements) with various monthly principal payments through 2007 and interest at rates ranging from 6% to 19% per annum. Substantially all of these notes are currently in default due to non-payment. In prior fiscal years, some of these individuals were considered related parties, but due to the fact they have either sold their interests in the Company or have obtained judgments against the Company these have now been presented as part of notes payable. The Company is negotiating with certain of these noteholders to restructure its debts. 1,314,834 ------------ 14,268,031 Less current portion (12,118,031) ------------ $ 2,150,000 ============ 14. OTHER INCOME During the three months ended November 30, 2002, the Company generated one-time revenue of $1,652,529 from the disposition of equipment in lieu of accounts payable and the settlement of certain debt obligation and conversion to long term debt. 10 Myrient, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS There were no related party transactions during the three months ended November 30, 2002 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS During the 2nd fiscal quarter 2003, the Company entered into short-term loan agreements with several individuals for a total of $47,000. These notes have a term of between 6 and 12 months bear simple interest at the rate of 11%. During the 2nd fiscal quarter 2003, the company issued 2,666,666 shares of rule 144 restricted common stock to a consulting firm in lieu of cash payment of $40,000 (based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant). 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and the Company's actual results could differ materially from those forward-looking statements. The following discussion regarding the financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. GENERAL Myrient, Inc. (the "Company") is an outsourced Information Technology solutions provider that delivers managed services that allow enterprises to conduct secure communications with remote offices, partners and customers worldwide. The Company enables its customers to outsource all of their communications needs, while ensuring the highest level of security and reliability. The Company manages and controls a nationwide data communications network that allows it to offer high-quality integrated turnkey solutions. The Company's services include Managed Virtual Private Networking, Broadband Internet Access, Managed Web Hosting, Storage and off-site disaster recovery services, Network and Systems Management, and Professional Services. The Company's operating results have fluctuated in the past and may in the future fluctuate significantly, depending upon a variety of factors, including the timely deployment and expansion of new network architectures, the incurrence of related capital costs, variability and length of the sales cycle associated with the Company's product and service offerings, the receipt of new value-added network services and consumer services subscriptions and the introduction of new services by the Company and its competitors. Additional factors that may contribute to variability of operating results include but not limited to: the pricing and mix of services offered by the Company; customer retention rate; market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's services; changes in pricing policies by the Company's competitors; the Company's ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited-source components; user demand for network and Internet access services; balancing of network usage over a 24-hour period; the ability to manage potential growth and expansion; the ability to identify, acquire and integrate successfully suitable acquisition candidates; and charges related to acquisitions. In response to competitive pressures, the Company may take certain pricing or marketing actions that could have a material adverse affect on the Company's business. As a result, variations in the timing and amounts of revenue could have a material adverse affect on the Company's quarterly operating results. Currently, the Company does not have the systems available to provide segment information. Due to the foregoing factors, the Company believes the period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. In the event that the Company's operating results in any future period fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of the Company's common stock would likely decline. The Company's auditors have not reviewed its November 30, 2002 financial statements. 12 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED November 30, 2002 AND 2001 NET SALES Net Sales totaled approximately $163,626 for the three months ended November 30, 2002, a $2,240,539 decrease over revenue of $2,404,165 for the three months ended November 30, 2001. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to the Company divesting itself of all of its digital subscriber lines ("DSL"). COST OF SALES Cost of sales for the three months ended November 30, 2002 was $75,553, a decrease of $1,513,089 from $1,588,642 for the three months ended November 30, 2001. The Company's Internet access costs significantly decreased reflecting the decrease in revenues generated from Broadband Internet Access and associated infrastructure during the three months ended November 30, 2002 as compared to the corresponding period of 2001. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit decreased $727,450 to $88,073 for the three months ended November 30, 2002 from $815,523 for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and the profit margin increased 19% to 53% for the three months ended November 30, 2002 from 34% for the three months ended November 30, 2001. The decrease in gross profit and the increase in gross profit margin resulted from a significant decrease in revenues generated from the lower margin services (Broadband Internet Access delivered over DSL) and an increase in revenues generated from the higher margin services (managed services including Real Private Networking, Internet and Intranet based Web Hosting, Hosted Application Services, Intelligent Routing and Content Delivery Services, Managed Virtual Private Networking and Professional Services). SELLING EXPENSE Selling expense consists primarily of personnel expenses, including salary and commissions, and costs for customer support functions. Marketing and sales expense was $2,015 for the three months ended November 30, 2002 and $390,160 for the three months ended November 30, 2001, which represents a $388,145 decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's desire to focus its available working capital on the reorganization of operations. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel expense, rent and professional fees. General and administrative expense was $292,175 for the three months November 30, 2002 and $1,299,019 for the three months ended November 30, 2001, which represents a $1,006,844 decrease primarily due to reorganization of operations, the reduction of personnel and the related expenses. 13 INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense was $365,817 for the three months ended November 30, 2002 and $358,651 for the three months ended November 30, 2001. The increase in interest expense resulted from the higher average interest-bearing borrowing balance during the three months ended November 30, 2002 as compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The higher average borrowing balance is primarily related to the conversion of accounts payable to notes payable pursuant to negotiated settlements with certain creditors. GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS During the quarter ending November 30, 2002 the Company recognized a gain of $1,560,529 on the settlement of accounts payable balances with vendors. OTHER INCOME The Company generated one-time revenue of $92,000 from the sale of certain hardware assets for the quarter ending November 30, 2002. No such revenue was generated in the corresponding period in 2001. NET INCOME As a result of the above factors, the Company incurred a net income for the three-month period ended November 30, 2002 of $1,080,595 or $0.01 per share compared to a loss of $1,118,725 or $0.02 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2001. 14 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company believes that its anticipated funds from operations will be insufficient to fund its working capital and other requirements through August 31, 2003. Therefore, the Company will be required to seek additional funds either through debt or equity financing to finance its long-term operations ("Additional Funds"). Should the Company fail to raise the Additional Funds, the Company will have insufficient funds for the Company's intended operations for the next nine months that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's long-term results of operations. Cash balance was $0 on November 30, 2002 and $0 on August 31, 2002. To date, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements primarily through related party debt, equity and capitalized lease financings. The Company's principal uses of cash is to fund working capital requirements. The Company expects to be successful in its ongoing effort to substantially reduce its debt through aggressive negotiations with its creditors. The Company has been successful with most creditors that it has negotiated with thus far and expects to continue this trend. 15 The Company's independent certified public accountants have stated in their report in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2002, that the Company had incurred operating losses in the last two years, had a working capital deficit (including a significant accrued payroll taxes due to under payment of payroll taxes), a significant long-term borrowing balance and a significant stockholders' deficit. The Company's working capital deficit increased $2,411,266 to $15,449,833 on November 30, 2002 from $13,038,567 on November 30, 2001 and the stockholders' deficit decreased $1,076,616 to $21,556,617 on November 30, 2002 from $22,633,233 on August 31, 2002. These financial conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company auditors have not reviewed its November 30, 2002 financial statements.
