FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 8, 1987. Prior to July 27, 2000, the Company was engaged principally in the manufacturing of collectible-quality die-cast replicas of cars, trucks, buses, marine products and other items and was named Creative Master International, Inc. On July 27, 2000, in exchange for all the ownership interests in PacificNet.com LLC, Creative Master International, Inc. issued 7,166,667 shares of its Common Stock to the owners of PacificNet.com LLC, which represented in excess of 80% of the total number of the Company's shares outstanding immediately following the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of PacificNet.com LLC, the Company's name was changed to "PacificNet.com, Inc." in order to reflect the primary business focus of the Company following the acquisition.
PacificNet.com, Inc. (referred to herein as PacificNet, PACT or the Company) is an Asian IT solutions and consulting company that develops and implements full-service IT solutions. PacificNet has developed a suite of proprietary e-Commerce software applications, and offers services such as hardware support, CRM, ERP, customer care, call center, logistics and supply chain management.
PACT's business strategy is to offer Asian businesses complete e-business solutions, including front-end services such as Web site design, hosting, product database development and management, and shopping cart applications, and back-end services such as order processing and transaction payment processing. PACT has developed a proprietary e-commerce solution called eMerchant2000TM for small and medium-sized Asian businesses. A substantial number of small and medium-sized enterprises ("SME's") have signed on to use eMerchant2000TM, and installations are currently in progress, primarily in Hong Kong and the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). In addition, PACT has been engaged to develop B2B e-commerce solutions for certain strategic partners and other major Asian companies.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Acquisition of PacificNet.com LLC. On July 27, 2000, in exchange for all the ownership interests in PacificNet.com LLC (PLLC), the Company issued 7,166,667 shares of its Common Stock to the former owners of PLLC. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase and treated as a reverse merger since the former owners of PLLC controlled over 80% of the total shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately following the acquisition on July 27, 2000. The shares issued by the Company in connection with the reverse merger of PLLC are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are subject to restrictions on transferability for a period of one year from the date of issuance.
The historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger transaction have been restated to be those of the accounting acquirer (PLLC). Historical stockholders equity prior to the reverse merger has been retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the issuers and acquirers stock with an offset to additional paid-in capital.
Disposition of Creative Master Business. In September 2000, the Companys Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of its die-cast replica manufacturing business (the Creative Master business). On October 2, 2000, the Company sold the Creative Master business to a management group led by Mr. Carl Tong, former Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Creative Master business was acquired as part of a reverse merger transaction that was completed on July 27, 2000. As consideration for this business, the management group i) returned 895,765 shares of common stock with a quoted market value of approximately $4.9 million, ii) assumed all indebtedness and obligations of the Company related to the Creative Master business and iii) relinquished any claim with respect to an intercompany balance of $1.5 million payable by the Company to Creative Master.
The 895,765 shares of common stock returned to the Company are held as treasury stock at March 31, 2001 and represented a 10.14% reduction in the total number of shares outstanding. The net liabilities and results of operations for the Creative Master business are reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
Laptizen.com Limited. In June, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of 55% of Laptizen.com Limited (Laptizen), a Hong Kong based B2B computer system, e-commerce portal and value added reseller and service provider for computer systems for consideration of $320,000. Laptizen commenced operations in June, 2000. No pro forma financial data is presented as the financial statements of Laptizen prior to June are not material.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Summary. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of PacificNet for the periods presented have been made.
Continuing and Discontinued Operations. The results of operations of PacificNet for the three-month periods ended March 31 reflect the following continuing and discontinued operations (disposed of or terminated subsequent to September 15, 2000):
Continuing Operations:
E-commerce solutions business acquired as part of the reverse merger with PLLC on July 27, 2000
The Companys 55% owned subsidiary, Laptizen.com Limited (Laptizen), a Hong Kong based B2B computer system , e-commerce portal and value added reseller and service provider for computer systems. The Laptizen acquisition occurred on June 1, 2000. Operations of Laptizen prior to June 1, 2000 were not significant.
Discontinued Operations:
The Creative Master business that was disposed of on October 2, 2000. In consideration for the sale of the Creative Master business, the Company received 895,795 shares of Company stock valued at $4.9 million (based on the closing price of PACT of $5.50 per share on the date of sale) for net assets with a recorded book value of $18.0 million (including goodwill of $8.3 million), resulting in a loss of approximately $13.4 million.
The Companys International Trading Group operations, including the North America China Trade Center (based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) and the B2B global trading group (based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) discontinued in September, 2000. These operations have been reflected as discontinued in the accompanying financial statements and include adjustments to reflect the cost of disposal, including the write-off of previously recorded goodwill, long-term office rentals agreements and leasehold improvements.
Investments in Affiliated Companies. The Companys investments in affiliated companies for which its ownership exceeds 20% (PacificNet-NTSC.com Sdn.Bhd and Xmedia Holdings Inc.), but are not majority-owned or controlled, are accounted for using the equity method. The Companys investments in affiliated companies for which its ownership is less than 20% (ABCDEnet.com and APP China Group Limited), are accounted for using the cost method. Under the equity method, the Companys proportionate share of each affiliates net income or loss and amortization of the Companys net excess investment over its equity in each affiliates net assets is included in share of losses of affiliated companies. The Company assesses the need to record impairment losses on its investments when indicators of impairment are present. Indicators of value generally include revenue growth, operating results, cash flows and other measures. Management then determines whether there has been a permanent impairment of value based upon events and circumstances that have occurred since acquisition.
Operating Results for Future Periods. These results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2001 and future periods.
Restatement of Historical Financial Statements. The historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger transaction have been restated to be those of the accounting acquirer (PLLC). Historical stockholders equity prior to the reverse merger has been retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger after giving effect to any difference in par value of the issuers and acquirers stock with an offset to paid-in-capital.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These include statements about the Companys expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which are indicated by words or phrases such as anticipate, expect, intend, plan, will, the Company believes, management believes and similar words or phrases. The forward-looking statements are based on the Companys current expectations and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Companys actual results could differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
As of March 31, 2001, the Companys continuing operations consisted of the E-commerce solutions business acquired as part of the reverse merger transaction with PLLC on July 27, 2000 and the activities of the Companys 55% owned consolidated subsidiary, Laptizen.com Limited (Laptizen). The E-commerce solutions business commenced operations in July, 1999 and the acquisition of Laptizen occurred on June 1, 2000 with operations commencing in July, 2000. Prior to April 1, 2000, the principal activities of the Company consisted of efforts related to sales and marketing.
In September, 2000 the Companys Board of Directors approved plans for the disposal of the Companys Creative Master business and International Trading Group Operations. These business segments have been subsequently disposed of or terminated. Accordingly, the discussion that follows relates to the continuing operations of the Company.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $1,961,000, an increase of $1,784,000 from $177,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, revenues consisted of $194,000 derived from services rendered and $1,767,000 from the sales of products and systems through its Laptizen subsidiary.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001, all of PacificNets revenue was generated from customers in Asia.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,852,000 an increase of $1,820,000 from $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to a corresponding increase in revenues. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, was 115% for services rendered and 92% for the sales of products and systems through the Laptizen subsidiary for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $109,000 a decrease of ($36,000) from $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2001, were comprised of (15)% for services rendered and 8% for products and systems sold. The negative margin for services rendered in the quarter reflects additional costs required to complete fixed price services contracts.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses totaled $1,267,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $872,000 from $395,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in operating expenses is primarily related to higher levels of selling, general and administrative expenses as the result of expectations of higher business activity levels in 2001 over 2000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company instituted cost control measures to reduce its monthly operating expenses as follows:
Termination of 27 Hong Kong based employees representing approximately 36% of the Companys employees
Sublease of certain areas within the Hong Kong operations facility
Discontinuation of substantially all cash based marketing and advertising programs
As of March 31, 2001, the Companys estimated monthly cash requirement for operating expenses was approximately $225,000; a decrease of approximately $125,000 from the actual monthly cash requirement rate for the three-months ended March 31, 2001.
Share
of Losses of Affiliated Companies. The
Companys share of losses of affiliated companies totaled $(12,000) for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The increase reflects the Companys 40% share of losses in PacificNet-NTSC.com
Sdn.Bhd, a Malaysian based consulting company and reseller of the Companys
products that was acquired in May, 2000.
.
Interest Income. Interest income was $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase is due to the higher net cash balances from proceeds received from the sale of common stock.
Income Taxes. No tax provision has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as the result of the cumulative operating loss generated by the Company. Interim income tax provisions are based upon managements estimate of taxable income and the resulting consolidated effective income tax rate for the full year. As a result, such interim estimates are subject to change as the year progresses and more information becomes available.
Minority Interests. Minority interests for the three months ended March 31, 2001 totaled $12,000, compared with $0 for the same period in the prior year and consisted of minority interest in the earnings of the Laptizen consolidated subsidiary that commenced operations in July, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash. The Companys cash balance decreased by ($851,000) to $3.3 million at March 31, 2001, as compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2000. Operating activities used ($728,000) of cash comprised of ($685,000) for continuing operations and ($43,000) for discontinued operations.
Working Capital. The Companys working capital decreased to $3,261,000 at March 31, 2001, as compared to $4,356,000 at December 31, 2000. When compared to balances at December 31, 2000, the decrease in working capital at March 31, 2001 reflects lower levels of cash ($851,000), net accounts receivable ($230,000), and higher levels of other current assets ($47,000), offset by higher levels of current liabilities ($61,000). The Company anticipates that as revenue and operating activity levels increase, working capital financing requirements will also increase.
Property and Equipment Additions. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, additions to property and equipment aggregated $30,000. The Company does not anticipate material expenditures for additions to property and equipment over the next year. These expenditures are estimated to be $100,000 and will be funded from cash on hand.
Investments in Affiliated Companies and Goodwill. As of March 31, 2001, investments in affiliated companies and goodwill aggregated $1,315,000 as compared to $1,330,000 as of December 31, 2000. The decrease of ($15,000) reflects the Company's share of losses of affiliated companies (Pacific Net - NTSC.com Sdn.Bhd) and amoritization of goodwill.
Commitments for Additional Funding of Affiliated Companies. The Company believes that affiliated companies in which it participates will generate incremental service revenues and product sales for the Company in 2001. Further, the Company anticipates that it may enter into additional joint venture arrangements and other investment structures in the future to further promote the sale and marketing of PacificNet products and services.
Cash Needs for the Foreseeable Future. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $3.3 million of cash. The Company expects that its cash needs for the foreseeable future will arise primarily from working capital requirements, technology development and capital expenditures. The Company expects that the principal sources of cash will be cash on hand. In the event that additional credit facilities are required, the Company believes that these additional credit facilities can be negotiated at market rates currently in effect. The Company believes that these sources will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2001.
Inflation. Inflation has not had a material impact on PacificNets business in recent years.
Currency Exchange Fluctuations. All of PacificNets revenues are denominated either in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars, while its expenses are denominated primarily in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi, the currency of the PRC (RMB). There can be no assurance that the RMB-to-U.S. dollar rate will remain stable. Although a devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar or RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would be likely to reduce PacificNets expenses (as expressed in U.S. dollars), any material increase in the value of the Hong Kong dollar or RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would increase PacificNets expenses, and could have a material adverse effect on PacificNets business, financial condition and results of operations. PacificNet has never engaged in currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do so.
Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations. PacificNet has not experienced fluctuations in quarterly revenues from its e-commerce solutions business since inception. The Company believes that its business is not subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations; however, since the Company has only been in existence since July, 1999, the Company does not have sufficient operating history to determine whether seasonal and quarterly fluctuations exist within its business lines.
