Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in thousands except per share amounts or as noted)
(1) Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation
Greg Manning Auctions, Inc. together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Ivy and Mader Philatelic Auctions, Inc., Greg Manning Galleries, Inc., Teletrade
Inc., Spectrum Numismatics International, Inc., Kensington Associates L.L.C. and
Greg Manning Direct, Inc. (the "Company") is an eCommerce and collectibles
company as well as a public auctioneer of collectibles, including rare stamps,
stamp collections and stocks, sports trading cards and memorabilia, fine art and
coins. The Company conducts both in-person event auctions and electronic
auctions via the Internet and touch-tone telephone. The Company accepts property
for sale at auctions from sellers on a consignment basis, and earns a commission
on the sale.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2002
and December 31, 2002 and related condensed consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, cash flows and comprehensive income for the
three and six month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 have been prepared
from the books and records maintained by the Company, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and disclosures thereto in the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future
period.
(2) Summary of Certain Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101, ("SAB 101"), which provides guidance on the
recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements, and
Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-19 "Reporting Revenue Gross as
a Principal vs. Net as an Agent" which provides guidance on the recognition of
revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent.
The Company derives revenues from two primary sources:
1. Auction Revenue:
Revenue is recognized when consigned collectibles are sold at auction and
is represented by an auction commission received from the buyer and seller.
Auction commissions represent a percentage of the hammer price at auction sales
as paid by the buyer and the seller. Such amounts of revenue are recorded on a
net basis as commission revenue.
The Company also sells its own inventory at auction. Revenue of owned
inventory is recognized when sold at auction. Such amounts of revenue are
recorded on a gross basis as sales of merchandise. Additionally, the Company is
entitled to auction commissions paid by the buyer. Sales returns have not been
material.
8
2. Private Treaty Sales:
Private treaty sales represent sales of consigned property and sales of
owned inventory.
Private treaty sales of consigned property occur when an owner of property
arranges with the Company to sell such consigned property to a third party at a
privately negotiated price. In such a transaction, the owner may set selling
price parameters for the Company, or the Company may solicit selling prices for
the owner, and the owner may reserve the right to reject any selling price. The
Company does not guarantee a fixed price to the owner, which would be payable
regardless of the actual sales price ultimately received. The Company recognizes
as private treaty revenue an amount equal to a percentage of the sales price.
Such amounts of revenue are recorded on a net basis as commission revenue and
are recognized when sold.
Private treaty sales of owned inventory occur when the Company sells its
goods directly to a customer either wholesale or retail. Revenue with respect to
private treaty revenues is recognized when delivered or released to the customer
for acceptance or to a common carrier for delivery. Such amounts of revenue are
recorded on a gross basis as sales of merchandise. Sales returns have not been
material.
The Company does not provide any guarantee with respect to the
authenticity of property offered for sale at auction. Each lot is sold as
genuine and as described by the Company in the catalogue. When however, in the
opinion of a competent authority mutually acceptable to the Company and the
purchaser, a lot is declared otherwise, the purchase price will be refunded in
full if the lot is returned to the Company within a specified period. In such
event, the Company will return such lot to the consignor before a settlement
payment has been made to such consignor for the lot in question. To date,
returns have not been material. Large collections are generally sold on an "as
is" basis.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for all investments
in investees under the cost method of accounting when such investment ownership
is less than 20%. The Company accounts for investments in investees under the
equity method of accounting when the Company owns more than 20% of the entity,
but less than majority owned and not otherwise controlled by the Company.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of auction or trade receivables and
consignor advances.
Auction or trade receivables represent sales made to customers for which
short-term credit extensions are granted, which generally are not extended
beyond 90 days.
Advances to consignors represent advance payments, or loans, to the
consignor prior to the auction sale, collateralized by the items received and
held by the Company for the auction sale and the proceeds from such sale.
Interest on such amounts is generally charged at an annual rate of 12%. Such
advances generally are not outstanding for more than six months from the date of
the note.
As of June 30 and December 31, 2002, the allowance for doubtful accounts
included in auction receivables was approximately $1,077 and $1,050,
respectively.

Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Effective July 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".
SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least
annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also
requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over
their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, if
any, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of". Upon adoption, the Company re-evaluated the future estimated
useful lives of its intangible assets that have an indefinite life.
SFAS 142 is effective for the Company for fiscal 2003. Accordingly, the
Company no longer amortizes its goodwill and is required to complete a two-step
test for impairment annually. The first step of the goodwill impairment test,
used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting
unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the
reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill
impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss,
if any.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and intangible
assets using undiscounted cash flows which determines if the carrying value of
goodwill and other intangibles are impaired. The amount of impairment is
measured based on discounted future cash flows using the Company's average cost
of funds. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Company performed this
analysis with assistance from an independent valuation expert. The tests the
Company performed compared the expected future discounted cash flows for a
five-year period, to the carrying amount of the long-lived assets resulting from
purchase business combinations. In performing these analyses, the Company uses
the best information available in the circumstances including reasonable and
supportable assumptions and projections. Based on a review of the analyses
prepared by an independent valuation expert and its own reviews, management has
concluded that the fair value exceeded the carrying value as of December 31,
2002 and therefore no impairment existed at that date. Because the Company
satisfied the requirements of the first step of the impairment test, the second
step of the impairment is not necessary. In the future, the Company will be
required to complete the impairment test annually. Total accumulated
amortization of goodwill at June 30, and December 31, 2002 was approximately
$6,936.

Investments
The Company accounts for marketable securities pursuant to the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities. Under this statement, the Company's marketable
securities with a readily determinable fair value have been classified as
available for sale and are carried at fair value with an offsetting adjustment
to Stockholders' Equity. Net unrealized gains and losses for temporary changes
in fair value of marketable securities are credited or charged to a separate
component of Stockholders' Equity.
Marketable securities available for sale as of June 30, and December 31,
2002 is as follows:
Market Unrealized

---- ----- -----------
June 30, 2002 Common Stock $ 385 $ 76 $ (309)

December 31, 2002 Common Stock $ 385 $ 69 $ (337)
===== ====== ======
Advances Payable
Advances payable are cash advances on inventory consigned to a third party
for sale by the third party at a later date at which time the advance will be
deducted from the proceeds. The balances were $0 and $717 as of December 31,
2001 and 2002 respectively.
Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average
12
number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the
dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of the
outstanding options would be reflected in diluted earnings per share by
application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect to these
options for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net
assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive
income, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet consist of
the net unrealized gains (losses) on securities, net of tax.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective July 1,2002, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". This statement is effective for the Company on July 1, 2002 (see
intangible assets discussion above).
Effective July 1,2002, the Company adopted the SFAS No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations," which is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 143
did not have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Effective July 1,2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment Or Disposal of Long Lived Assets," which is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
There was no impact from the adoption of this statement.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical
Corrections. SFAS No. 145 provides guidance for income statement classification
of gains and losses of debt and accounting for certain lease modifications that
have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No.
145 requires that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt be classified as
extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30 ("Opinion No. 30"). SFAS No. 145 is effective for years
beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS
No. 145.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes
EITF Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.
Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was
recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 also
establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair
value. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal
activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is evaluating the
impact of SFAS No. 146.
On October 1, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutes." SFAS No. 147 removes acquisitions of financial
institutions from the scope of FASB Statement No. 72, "Accounting for Certain
Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions", and FASB No. 9 "Applying APB
Opinion Nos. 16 and 17 "When a Savings and Loan Association or a Similar
Institution is Acquired in a Business Combination Accounted for by the Purchase
Method," and requires that those transactions be
13
accounted for in accordance with FASB Statements Nos. 141 and 142. There was no
impact from the adoption of this statement.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation", which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of
transaction for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value method of
accounting for stock based compensation. It also amends the disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on
reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to
stock based employee compensation. Finally, SFAS No. 148 amends APB Opinion No.
28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require disclosure of those effects in
interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ended
after December 15, 2002, but early adoption is permitted. The adoption of SFAS
No. 148 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial
disclosures.

The above inventory amounts reflect net realizable (LCM) allowances of
approximately $2,432 and $2,379 at June 30 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
The non-current inventory represents an estimate of total inventory, which is
not expected to be sold within one year.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. In instances
where bulk purchases are made, the cost allocation is based on the relative
market values of the respective goods. The Company has agreements with certain
suppliers to share the net profits or losses attributable to the sale of
specific items of inventory.

Roberts is employed by the Company on the date that an installment is due, that
installment payment will be forgiven, and that if his employment is terminated
for death, disability, without cause or with good reason (as defined), then the
entire loan will be forgiven at the date of termination. If Mr. Roberts'

Additionally the Company obtained a secured loan from a privately held
capital coin fund for $4,500, which is due December 31, 2003. This loan is

annum. Borrowing under this line of credit totaled $4,000 at June 30 and $4,000
at December 31, 2002.
There is an advance from a consignor which was, upon settlement,
converted to a demand loan bearing an interest rate of 8% per annum in the
amount of $140 at June 30, 2002 and December 31,2002.
The remaining notes payable consist of capital leases for the purchase of
equipment and they carry interest rates ranging from 13% to 21%. Total
borrowings under the leases totaled $183 and $174 at June 30, 2002 and December
31, 2002.
15
(6) Major Customers
The Company had one major customer that accounted for approximately 15% of
total revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 6% of accounts

agreements with the Company. Major customers are considered to be those that
accounted for more than 10% of sales.
(7) Stock Option Exchange Offer

Company's common stock to be granted under the 1997 Plan on or about February 4,
2003. The offer expired on July 30, 2002. Pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the offer, the Company accepted for exchange on July 31, 2002 tendered old

(9) Subsequent Events
On January 23, 2003, the Company and Auctentia, S.L., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Afinsa Bienes Tangibles, S.A., signed a definitive agreement which
was based on the June 17, 2002 letter of intent for the acquisition by GMAI of
Auctentia Subastas, S.L. of Spain, a majority interest in Corinphila Auktionen
AG of Switzerland, and the Kohler group of auction companies of Germany, in
exchange for the issuance of 3,729,226 shares of common stock. In addition, on
that date the Company entered into two separate agreements to acquire from
Auctentia an inventory of stamps valued at approximately $10,150,000 and fine
art valued at approximately $1,250,000, in exchange for the issuance of
6,444,318 shares of stock; and also to issue 2,826,456 shares of stock for
$5,000,000 in cash.
The issuance of shares by the Company is subject to shareholder approval,
as well as other customary conditions. Shareholders holding approximately 60% of
the outstanding shares of the Company have agreed, subject to certain
conditions, to vote in favor of these transactions. The closing of
16
each of these transactions, which is not conditioned upon the closing of the
others, is expected to occur shortly after all necessary approvals are obtained.
Currently Auctentia holds approximately 43% of GMAI's outstanding shares.
If all three of the above transactions are consummated, Auctentia will own
approximately 70% of the Company's stock.

Aggregate sales consist of the aggregate proceeds realized from the sale
of property, which include the Company's commissions when applicable. Property
sold by the Company is either consigned to it by the owner of the property, or
is owned by the Company directly. Aggregate sales of the Company's inventory are
classified as such without regard as to whether the inventory was sold at
auction or directly to a customer. Aggregate sales by auction and by private
treaty represent the sale of property consigned by third parties.
The Company's revenues are represented by the sum of (a) the proceeds from
the sale of the Company's inventory, and (b) the portion of sale proceeds from
auction or private treaty that the Company is entitled to retain after remitting
the sellers' share, consisting primarily of commissions paid by sellers and
buyers. Generally, the Company earns a commission from the seller of 5% to 15%
(although the commission may be slightly lower on high value properties) and a
commission of 10% to 15% from the buyers.
The Company's operating expenses consist of the cost of sales of the
Company's inventory and general and administrative expenses and marketing
expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. General and
administrative expenses are incurred to pay employees and to provide
18
support and services to those employees, including the physical facilities and
data processing. Marketing expenses are incurred to promote the services of the
Company to sellers and buyers of collectibles through advertising and public
relations, producing and distributing its auction catalogs and conducting
auctions.
Three months ended December 31, 2002
Compared with the three months ended December 31, 2001
The Company recorded an increase in net revenues of approximately $1,918
(11%) from approximately $17,436 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 to
approximately $19,354 for the three months ended December 31, 2002.
Sales of owned inventory increased during the current period by
approximately $1,978 (12%) and commissions earned decreased $60 (6%). The
majority of the increase in sales of owned inventory was the result of increased
coin sales of $3,404, which included approximately $2,000 of sales to its major
customer with the remaining increase reflecting a general increase in the market
for collectible coins. This increase was offset by a decrease of sales of stamps
of approximately $900 in the quarter ended December 31, 2002.
Gross profit decreased approximately $125 (5%) from approximately $2,406
for the three months ended December 31, 2001 to approximately $2,281 for the
three months ended December 31, 2002. Gross profit margins decreased from 14% to
12% for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
The Company's operating expenses increased approximately $53 (2%) during
the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. Marketing expenses increased approximately $35 (11%), depreciation
and amortization decreased approximately $222 (65%), salaries and wages
increased approximately $138 (13%) and general and administrative expenses
increased approximately $102 (8%). The increase in costs particularly salaries
was due to the Company looking to expand the coin and stamp sales into new
areas.
These increased costs, in combination with revenue increases, had the
effect of decreasing operating costs as a percentage of operating revenue from
17% during the three months ended December 31, 2001 to 16% for the same period
ended December 31, 2002. As compared to aggregate sales, these costs decreased
slightly from 13.1% in December 2001 to 13.0% in 2002.
Interest expense (net of interest income) for the three months ended
December 31, 2002 increased approximately $14 from approximately $188 to
approximately $202.
The Company's effective tax rates for the three month periods ended
December 31, 2001 and 2002 were approximately 0%, respectively. The rate is
based on a full valuation allowance provided for all deferred tax attributes.
This rate may change during the remainder of 2003 if operating results or
acquisition related costs differ significantly from current projections.
The Company's increase in operating losses of approximately $178, coupled
with a increase in interest expense net of interest income of approximately $14
but offset by a $250 expense for loss from operations of joint ventures in the
quarter ended December 31,2001, resulted in a decrease in net losses before
income taxes of approximately $58 for the current three month period, from
approximately $1,028 to approximately $970 for the six months ended December 30,
2001 and 2002, respectively.
Six months ended December 31, 2002
Compared with the six months ended December 31, 2001
19
The Company recorded an increase in net revenues of approximately $8,654
(24%) from approximately $36,116 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 to
approximately $44,769 for the six months ended December 31, 2002.
Sales of owned inventory increased during the current period by
approximately $8,462 (25%) and commissions earned increased $192 (11%). The
majority of the increase in sales of owned inventory was the result of increased
coin sales of $12,688, which included approximately $6,700 of sales to its major
customer with the remaining increase reflecting a general increase in the market
for collectible coins. This increase was offset by a decrease of $2,600 in sales
of comics and movie posters due to the sale of the division in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001 and a decrease in sales of stamps of approximately $1,173 due in
large part to their being one less stamp auction in the six months ended
December 31, 2002.
Gross profit increased approximately $316 (6%) from approximately $4,585
for the six months ended December 31, 2001 to approximately $4,900 for the six
months ended December 31, 2002. Gross profit margins decreased from 13% to 11%
for the six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
The Company's operating expenses decreased approximately $153 (2%) during
the six months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. Marketing expenses increased approximately $30 (4%), depreciation
and amortization decreased approximately $459 (65%), salaries and wages
increased approximately $101 (5%) and general and administrative expenses
increased approximately $175 (7%). The increase in costs particularly salaries
was due to the Company looking to expand the coin and stamp sales into new
areas.
These decreased costs, in combination with revenue increases, had the
effect of decreasing operating costs as a percentage of operating revenue from
17% during the six months ended December 31, 2001 to 13% for the same period
ended December 31, 2002. As compared to aggregate sales, these costs decreased
from 13.1% in December 2001 to 11.2% in 2002.
Interest expense (net of interest income) for the six months ended
December 31, 2002 increased approximately $75 from approximately $289 to
approximately $364.
The Company's effective tax rates for the six month periods ended December
31, 2001 and 2002 were approximately 0%, respectively. The rate is based on a
full valuation allowance provided for all deferred tax attributes. This rate may
change during the remainder of 2003 if operating results or acquisition related
costs differ significantly from current projections.
The Company's decrease in operating losses of approximately $469, offset
by an increase in interest expense net of interest income of approximately $75
and with no loss from operations of joint ventures in the six months ended
December 31,2002 as opposed to a $250 expense in the six months ended December
31,2001, resulted in a decrease in net losses before income taxes of
approximately $644 from approximately $1952 to approximately $1308 for the six
months ended December 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2002, the Company's working capital position was
approximately $4,743 compared to approximately $6,541 as of June 30, 2002.This
net decrease of approximately $1,798 was primarily due to increases in prepaid
expenses of approximately $507, increases in inventory of
20
approximately $877, a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $609. These
gains were offset by increases in accounts payable of approximately $2,885 and
advances payable of $717.
The Company experienced a decrease in cash flow from investing activities
for the six months ended December 31, 2002 of approximately $695. This was
primarily attributable to a loan to a related party of $600 and the acquisition
of property and equipment and other purchased intangibles during the year.
The Company experienced a decrease in cash flow from financing activities
for the six months ended December 31, 2002 of approximately $108. This was
primarily to an increase of demand notes payable of $600 and the pay down of
loans payable of $708 in the six months ended December 31, 2002.
The Company's need for liquidity and working capital is expected to
increase as a result of any proposed business expansion activities. In addition
to the need for such capital, and to enhance the Company's ability to offer cash
advances to a larger number of potential consignors of property (which
management believes is an important aspect of the marketing of an auction
business). In addition, the Company will likely require additional working
capital in the future in order to further expand its sports trading card and
sports memorabilia auction business as well as to acquire collectibles for sale
in the Company's business.
Management believes that the Company's cash flow from ongoing operations
supplemented by the Company's working capital credit facilities will be adequate
to fund the Company's working capital requirements for the next 12 months.
However, to complete any of the Company's proposed expansion activities or to
make any significant acquisitions, the Company may consider exploring financing
alternatives including increasing its working capital credit facilities or
raising additional debt or equity capital.
The decision to expand, the desired rate of expansion, and the areas of
expansion will be determined by management and the Board of Directors only after
careful consideration of all relevant factors. This will include the Company's
financial resources and working capital needs, and the necessity of continuing
its growth and position in its core business area of stamp auctions.
Risk Factors
From time to time, information provided by the Company, including but not
limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on behalf
of the Company, may contain "forward-looking" information within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth
below identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of
the Company:
o The Company incurred a net loss of $13,177 for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2002. The Company is seeking to reduce operating expenses,
optimize profitability and align resources with long-term business
growth strategies, as well as to explore new sources of collectibles
in an effort to increase margins and revenues from commissions. There
can be no assurance, however, that these steps (or any others) will
result in a significant improvement in the Company's financial
condition, on either a short or long-term basis particularly in light
of generally unfavorable economic conditions and changes in the
collectibles marketplace.
21
o There can be no assurance that the proposed transactions with
Auctentia, S.A., as described above, will be consummated. The failure
to consummate any of such transactions could have a material adverse
effect on the business and operations of the Company.
o If the revenue of the Company fails to offset operating expenses in
the future, the Company may be required to fund future operations
through the sale of additional common stock, which could cause the
market price of the stock to decline, as well as have a dilutive
effect on the value of the common stock currently outstanding.
o At times there may be a limited supply of collectibles available for
sale by the Company, and such supply varies from time to time. While
the Company generally has not experienced a lack of collectibles that
has prevented it from conducting appropriately sized auctions on an
acceptable schedule, no assurance can be given that the Company will
be able to obtain consignments of suitable quantities of collectibles
in order to conduct auctions of the size, and at the times, the
Company may desire in the future. The Company's inability to do so
would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
o The development and success of the Company's business has been and
will continue to be dependent substantially upon its President,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Greg Manning. The unavailability
of Mr. Manning, for any reason, would have a material adverse effect
upon the business; operations and prospects of the Company if a
suitable replacement were not engaged.
o The development and success of Spectrum Numismatics, Inc's business
has been and will continue to be dependent substantially upon its
President, Greg Roberts. The unavailability of Mr. Roberts, for any
reason, would have a material adverse effect upon the business;
operations and prospects of the Company if a suitable replacement were
not engaged.
o The business of selling stamps, coins, and other collectibles at
auction and in retail sales is highly competitive. The Company
competes with a number of auction houses and collectibles companies
throughout the United States and the world. While the Company believes
that there is no dominant company in the stamp auction or collectibles
business in which it operates, there can be no assurances that other
companies with greater financial and other resources and name
recognition will not enter the market.
o The Company may be adversely affected by the loss of a major customer.
o The Company may be adversely affected by the costs and other effects
associated with (i) legal and administrative cases and proceedings;
(ii) settlements, investigations, claims and changes in those items;
and (iii) adoption of new, or changes in, accounting policies and
practices and the application of such policies and practices.
o The Company's operations may be adversely affected by governmental
regulation and taxation of the Internet, which is subject to change. A
number of legislative and regulatory proposals under consideration by
federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations may
result in there being enacted laws concerning various aspects of the
Internet, including online content, user privacy, access charges,
liability for third-party activities, and jurisdictional issues. These
laws
22
could harm our business by increasing the Company's cost of doing
business or discouraging use of the Internet.
o The Company's business will be adversely affected if use of the
Internet by consumers, particularly purchasers of collectibles, does
not continue to grow. A number of factors may inhibit consumers from
using the Internet. These include inadequate network infrastructure,
security concerns, inconsistent quality of service and a lack of
cost-effective high-speed service. Even if Internet use grows, the
Internet's infrastructure may not be able to support the demands
placed on it by this growth and its performance and reliability may
decline. In addition, many Web sites have experienced service
interruptions as a result of outages and other delays occurring
throughout the Internet infrastructure. If these outages or delays
occur frequently in the future, use of the Internet, as well as use of
the Company's Web sites, could grow more slowly or decline.
o In addition, the tax treatment of the Internet and electronic commerce
is currently unsettled. A number of proposals have been made that
could result in Internet activities, including the sale of goods and
services, being taxed. The U.S. Congress has passed the Internet Tax
Information Act, which placed a six-year moratorium on new state and
local taxes on Internet commerce and is currently considering
extending such moratorium. There may, however, be enacted in the
future laws that change the federal, state or local tax treatment of
the Internet in a way that is detrimental to our business.
o Some local telephone carriers claim that the increasing popularity of
the Internet has burdened the existing telecommunications
infrastructure and that many areas with high Internet use are
experiencing interruptions in telephone service. These carriers have
petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to impose access fees
on Internet service providers. If these access fees are imposed, the
cost of communicating on the Internet could increase, and this could
decrease the demand for the Company's services and increase its cost
of doing business.
o The Company holds rights to various Web domain names. Governmental
agencies typically regulate domain names. These regulations are
subject to change. The Company may not be able to acquire or maintain
appropriate domain names in all countries in which it or its
affiliates do business. Furthermore, regulations governing domain
names may not protect the Company's trademarks and similar proprietary
rights. The Company may be unable to prevent third parties from
acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or diminish
the value of the Company's trademarks and other proprietary rights.
o The Company cannot accurately forecast revenues of its business. The
Company may experience significant fluctuations in its quarterly
operating results. Future fluctuations in operating results or revenue
shortfalls could adversely affect the success of the Company.
o The popularity of collectibles could decline. This could affect the
market value of inventory the Company currently holds or may hold in
the future.
o The Company's future results of operations could be adversely affected
by changes in accounting standards promulgated by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board,
23
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants.
This list should not be considered an exhaustive statement of all potential
risks and uncertainties.
24
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company due to adverse
changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign
currency exchange rate risk, investment risk, commodity price risk and other
relevant market rate or price risks.
The Company currently has no activities that would expose it to interest
rate or foreign currency exchange rate risks.
Investment Risk. The Company maintains investments in equity instruments of
public and privately held companies for business and strategic purposes. These
investments are included in marketable securities and other long-term assets and
are accounted for under the cost method when ownership is less than 20% and the
Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over
operations. For these investments, the Company's policy is to regularly review
the assumptions underlying the operating performance and cash flow forecasts in
assessing the carrying values. The Company identifies and records impairment
losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that such
assets might be impaired.
Commodity Price Risk. The Company may, at times, be exposed to commodity price
risk on certain inventory products. The Company historically and currently has
not experienced any significant commodity price risks.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Within 90 days prior to the date of
this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's
Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.
Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer along with
the Company's Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its
evaluation.
