2. LIQUIDITYThe Companys operations are constrained by an insufficient amount of working capital. At June 30, 2002, the Company had negative working capital of $1,197,000. The Company has experienced negative cash flows and net operating losses for the first two quarters of 2002. Due to the seasonal nature of the Companys business, the Company expects to generate positive operating cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2002. However, there can be no assurances that future income will be sufficient to fund future operations. Eos has short term amended notes in the amount of $3.0 million payable to Weichert Enterprises, LLC (Weichert) and $3.5 million payable to DL Holdings I, LLC (DL Holdings) plus accrued interest which were to become due August 14, 2002, but which have been extended and will become due September 30, 2002. Eos must raise sufficient capital or arrange additional financing terms by September 30, 2002 to satisfy these obligations, or arrange with its creditors to defer these obligations. The Company is subject to restrictions imposed by lenders and certain note holders of its subsidiaries that limit advances that Discovery Toys and Regal may make to Eos to cover its corporate overhead and operating expenses. There can be no assurance that operating cash flows generated from future sales will be sufficient to fund the Companys operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company to fund its operations. For these reasons, there is uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern beyond August 31, 2002. The Companys independent auditors indicated that substantial doubt exists as to the Companys ability to continue to operate as a going concern in their report included in Eos 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 10, 2002. In connection with the issuance of short-term notes to Weichert and DL Holdings in December 2001, Eos issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of Eos common stock to the short-term noteholders. As Eos short-term notes were not repaid by their original maturity date of April 13, 2002, Eos incurred $1,170,000 of expense associated with an increase in the price at which the holders may sell or put their warrants back to Eos during the second quarter of 2002. Because Eos did not repay these short-term notes and was unable to exercise its call option and repurchase the warrants issued to the note holders by August 14, 2002, it will incur an additional $390,000 of expense, or a total of $780,000 of expense in the third quarter of 2002, associated with an increase in the redemption value of the warrants following this date. Discovery Toys current projections indicate it will need a relaxation of the borrowing requirements from its primary lender, PNC Bank (PNC) in excess of $1.5 million from July through October of 2002. On April 26, 2002, Discovery Toys entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with PNC that permitted Discovery Toys to pay funds to Eos for corporate overhead charges incurred by Eos in the amount of $250,000 until June 30, 2002 and an additional $150,000 during the remainder of 2002, for $400,000 in total during the year. In July 2002, Discovery Toys entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with PNC that allows relaxation of its borrowing base requirements (Overadvances) from July 1, 2002 until November 30, 2002. The modification eases the borrowing base restrictions by $600,000 in July 2002, $1.5 million in August 2002, $1,750,000 in September and October, and $700,000 in November 2002. This amendment prohibits the payment of management fees payable to certain related parties and advances to Eos, if such payments result in outstanding Overadvances. The amendment also extends the term of Discovery Toys line of credit agreement to July 21, 2003. Regal has significant interest bearing obligations incurred in connection with Eos acquisition of Regal. Current operating projections indicate that Regal will fully utilize its operating line of credit during 2002. There can be no assurances that Regal will not be required to request relaxation of its borrowing base requirements from its primary lender on its line of credit during the next 12 months or that, if requested, its lender will agree to a relaxation of the borrowing base requirements. Failure to negotiate satisfactory agreements with its lenders to meet Eos operating cost requirements and seasonal financing requirements of Discovery Toys and Regal, or the failure to secure additional financing or sources of capital to meet its corporate overhead expenses and the repayment of the short term notes, could result in the cessation of operations, or an involuntary bankruptcy of Eos or one or more of its subsidiaries. Failure by the Company to have adequate liquidity to meet its corporate overhead expenses could result in failure to pay the salary of its chairman, Peter Lund. With the employment agreement currently in effect, such a failure could constitute a constructive termination, which would require payment of Mr. Lunds deferred compensation in the amount of $3.0 million. The Company would currently be unable to satisfy this obligation. This could cause Eos to cease operations or result in an involuntary bankruptcy. The Company is currently in negotiations with Mr. Lund regarding changes to his salary and bonus. 6 |
Management is actively pursuing new sources of financing, which may include additional sales of Eos securities to provide sufficient cash to meet its short term debt requirements, provide additional working capital and fund future potential acquisitions. There can be no assurance that any new sources of financing will be available on terms acceptable to Eos, if at all. 3. SHARES OUTSTANDING AND EARNINGS PER SHAREAll share data has been retroactively restated based on the share exchange rate implicit in the July 2001 Discovery Toys transaction of approximately 80 shares of Eos common stock for each share of Discovery Toys common stock outstanding. The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 represent the weighted-average number of shares outstanding based on the restated historical shares outstanding. For the purposes of computing diluted net income per share, weighted average common share equivalents do not include 3,940,000 stock options and 3,200,000 warrants for the periods presented because the effect would be antidilutive. 4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSIn July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001 and with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the remaining unamortized negative goodwill has been recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As a result, the Company recorded a benefit of approximately $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2002 resulting from the write-off of negative goodwill recorded on the books of Discovery Toys. Goodwill was also recorded as part of the purchase price allocation in conjunction with the acquisition of Regal on December 14, 2001. In compliance with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, this goodwill was tested for impairment during the second quarter of 2002 and no impairment was noted at that time. 7 |
The following reflects the impact that SFAS No. 142 would have had on prior year net income and earnings per common share if adopted in 2001: |

The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment annually unless events occur that require more frequent reviews. As noted earlier, the Company tested the valuation of its long-lived assets, including its intangibles, in the second quarter of 2002 and no impairment was noted. Long-lived assets, including intangibles, are tested for impairment if impairment triggers occur. Discounted cash flow analyses are used to assess nonamortizable intangible impairment while undiscounted cash flow analyses are used to assess long-lived asset impairment. If an assessment indicates impairment, the impaired asset is written down to its fair market value based on the best information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured with discounted estimated future cash flows. The useful lives of other amortizable intangibles are evaluated periodically, and subsequent to impairment review, to determine whether revision is warranted. If cash flows related to a nonamortizable intangible are not expected to continue for the foreseeable future, a useful life would be assigned. In August 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, to be held and used or disposed of. Implementation of this standard did not have a significant effect on results of operations or financial condition. 5. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTEDIn 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. This statement eliminates the current requirement that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary classification. In addition, SFAS No. 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The changes related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Adoption of this standard will not have any immediate effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company will apply this guidance prospectively. 8 |
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. 6. BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTSInventory consists of the following: |

7. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTSEos issued short-term bridge notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6.5 million and with an original maturity date of April 13, 2002 to Weichert and DL Holdings in connection with Eos acquisition of Regal. CYL Development Holdings, LLC, a principal stockholder of Eos, is a non-voting member of DL Holdings. In connection with the notes, Eos issued warrants to acquire 2,600,000 shares of its common stock for $2.95 per share, subject to certain terms and conditions. These warrants also contain put rights that allow the warrant holders to sell their warrants back to Eos in exchange for cash. The price at which holders could put their warrants to back to Eos until April 15, 2002 was $0.15 per warrant. The value attributable to this put of $390,000 at December 31, 2001 was classified as a liability as it is settled in cash. During the second quarter 2002, Eos entered into agreements with the holders to extend the maturity dates of the notes to July 15, 2002 and to change the put price. At June 30, 2002 the put price, as amended, was $0.60 per warrant. Accordingly, the Company recorded $1,170,000 of interest expense during the second quarter of 2002 to reflect the increase in the liability to $1,560,000 at June 30, 2002. On July 15, 2002, the Company entered into agreements to extend the maturity date of the notes to August 14, 2002. Under this amendment, the price at which the holders may put the warrants back to Eos is $0.75 per warrant through August 14, 2002, and increases to $0.90 per share thereafter. On August 14, 2002, Eos entered into agreements to extend the maturity date of the notes to September 30, 2002. The agreements also modify, among other things, the strike price of the warrants from $2.95 per underlying share to the weighted average cash price paid for each share of common stock sold by Eos from April 15, 2002 to September 30, 2002. 8. EQUITY TRANSACTIONSEos has not issued, repurchased, redeemed or paid dividends on its common stock in the first two quarters ended June 30, 2002 or in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Prior to the reverse merger, in the quarter ended June 30, 2001, Discovery Toys repurchased $1,456,000 of common stock from Avon Products, Inc. and paid out cash dividends of $4,500,000. 9. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTSPursuant to a credit agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia, Regal entered into forward currency exchange contracts to buy US dollars with a nominal value of $1,220,000 as of June 30, 2002. The fair value of these contracts was $57,000 at June 30, 2002 and is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Regal uses forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the adverse earnings impact from the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on its purchases of US dollar denominated inventory and the resulting US dollar accounts payable balances. The Company has included $69,000 and $57,000 in other expense attributable to changes in the fair value of its forward currency exchange contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. 10. SEGMENT INFORMATIONOperating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. In reporting to management, the entities operating results are categorized into three segments. Discovery Toys markets and sells educational toys. Regal markets and sells consumer gift products. Overhead costs, consisting primarily of salaries, and legal and accounting expenses, associated with Eos activities as a holding company are characterized as Corporate. Prior to July 2001, the Company only operated through its Discovery Toys segment. |

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONSDuring the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, pursuant to management consulting service agreements with three separate firms, each of which has ownership interests in Eos or its subsidiaries, the Company incurred expenses totaling $218,000 and $403,000, respectively. 12. MERCHANDISING AND PROMOTION AGREEMENTDiscovery Toys entered into a merchandising and promotion agreement effective November 1, 1999 with a prominent internet retailer. The original term of the agreement was 62 months. Discovery Toys received payments of $1,000,000 in 1999 and $1,500,000 in 2000 under the terms of the agreement. Due to financial difficulties faced by the internet retailer, Discovery Toys did not receive a payment of $500,000 due in November 2000 under this agreement. Subject to the terms of the agreement, the contract is in default. Discovery Toys was recognizing revenue under the agreement on a pro rata basis over the remaining life of the agreement from the dates the individual payments were received. Due to the default of the agreement, Discovery Toys recognized the remaining $2,074,000 of deferred revenue as other income during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Discovery Toys has no continuing involvement under this agreement. 11 |
ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsThis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including without limitation, statements regarding the 10-Q expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These statements are based on managements current expectations and information currently available and are believed to be reasonable and are made in good faith. .These statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as expect, believe, estimate, project, anticipateand variations of such terms or similar terms. However, the forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements. Factors that may make the actual results differ from anticipated results include, but are not limited to, economic conditions and the uncertainty of the Companys ability to meet its loan commitments and covenants, recruit and maintain its independent sales force, and continue to identify, develop and provide marketable consumer products. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 contained in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. OverviewThe following discussion and analysis refers to Eos International, Inc., formerly dreamlife, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and all of its operating divisions and subsidiaries (references to Eos refer to Eos International, Inc. alone and references to the Company refer to Eos and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis), including Discovery Toys, Inc. (Discovery Toys) and Regal Greetings and Gifts, Inc. (Regal). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company (i) include the accounts of Discovery Toys for all periods, and Regal and Eos for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, (ii) have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and (iii) do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001 included in Eos Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 10, 2002. Eos, the parent company, is a holding company generating no revenues independent of amounts received from its subsidiaries, Discovery Toys and Regal. Discovery Toys is a multi-level marketer of approximately 200 products including toys, games, books, and software through a network of approximately 30,000 independent educational consultants (ECs) in the United States and Canada. Lane Nemeth, a former daycare director, who recognized the need for high quality educational toys in the market place, founded Discovery Toys in 1978. Discovery Toys principal offices are located in Livermore, California, and its geographic markets primarily encompass the United States and Canada. On December 14, 2001, Eos purchased 85% of the assets of the Regal Greetings and Gifts division of MDC Corporation, Inc. (MDC), an Ontario Corporation, and Prime DeLuxe, Inc. (a subsidiary of MDC). The Regal business consists of all the tangible assets of an ongoing business, including cash, accounts receivable, property and equipment, inventory and prepaid expenses as well as the customer list intangible and goodwill. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Regal is one of Canadas largest direct selling and mail order distributors of general merchandise to consumers. Regal sells its products through a network of independent sales representatives who in turn sell the merchandise to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. Regal also sells merchandise through its Website, and its 43 representative service centers (RSCs) located throughout Canada. Regals products include a flagship line of greeting cards and gift-wrap, the majority of which are printed in Canada, as well as innovative household and giftware items. Regal produces five major catalogues per year for use by its sales representatives. Regal markets up to 3,300 items at any given time, the majority of which are from independent trading agents selling products on behalf of Asian-based manufacturers. In total, Regals inventory normally includes more than 7,400 stock keeping units (SKUs) at any given time, with prices per item ranging from $1.25 to $53.12 (approximately $2 to $85 CDN (Canadian dollars)). Approximately 10% of the product line may be selected for customer personalization. Regals business has been fueled by a number of key factors including high brand name recognition, a loyal and geographically dispersed direct-selling force, a broad range of merchandise offered at affordable prices, colorful and descriptive catalogues, conveniently located retail sales centers, efficient ordering processes and high customer satisfaction. 12 |
In December 2001, Eos changed its name from dreamlife, inc. Unless otherwise noted, all references to the Company include the business conducted by Eos in its former name (dreamlife, inc.) and its current subsidiaries, including Discovery Toys and Regal. Recent DevelopmentsEos issued short-term bridge notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6.5 million and with an original maturity date of April 13, 2002 to Weichert Enterprises, LLC (Weichert) and DL Holdings I, LLC (DL Holdings) in connection with Eosacquisition of Regal. CYL Development Holdings, LLC, a principal stockholder of Eos, is a non-voting member of DL Holdings. In connection with the notes, Eos issued warrants to acquire 2,600,000 shares of its common stock for $2.95 per share, subject to certain terms and conditions. The warrants also contain put rights that allow the warrant holders to sell their warrants back to Eos in exchange for cash. The price at which holders could put their warrants back to Eos until April 15, 2002 was $0.15 per warrant. The value attributable to this put of $390,000 at December 31, 2001 was classified as a liability as it is settled in cash. During the second quarter 2002, Eos entered into agreements with the holders of the short-term notes to extend the maturity dates of the notes to July 15, 2002 and to change the put price to $0.60 per warrant at June 30, 2002. Accordingly, the Company recorded $1,170,000 of interest expense during the second quarter of 2002 to reflect the increase in the liability from $390,000 to $1,560,000 at June 30, 2002. On July 15, 2002, the Eos entered into agreements to extend the maturity date of these notes to August 14, 2002. Under this amendment, the price at which the holders may put the warrants back to Eos is $0.75 per warrant through August 14, 2002, and increases to $0.90 per share thereafter. On August 14, 2002, Eos entered into agreements to extend the maturity date of the notes to September 30, 2002. The agreements also modify, among other things, the strike price of the warrants from $2.95 per underlying share to the weighted average cash price paid for each share of common stock sold by Eos from April 15, 2002 to September 30, 2002. In July 2002, Discovery Toys entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with PNC that allows relaxation of its borrowing base requirements (Overadvances) from July 1, 2002 until November 30, 2002. The modification eases the borrowing base restrictions by $600,000 in July 2002, $1.5 million in August 2002, $1,750,000 in September and October, and $700,000 in November 2002. This amendment prohibits the payment of management fees payable to certain related parties and advances to Eos (Discovery Toys parent) if such payments result in outstanding Overadvances. The amendment also extends the term of the line of credit agreement to July 21, 2003. Management is also actively pursuing new sources of financing which may include additional sales of Eos securities to provide sufficient cash to meet its short term debt requirements, provide additional working capital and fund future potential acquisitions. There can be no assurance that any new sources of financing will be available on terms acceptable to Eos, if at all. Results of OperationsNet Revenues For the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, the accompanying financial statements do not include Regals revenue, because Regal was not acquired until December 2001. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $16,779,000 compared to revenues of $7,648,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase over the prior year period is due to the acquisition of Regal in December 2001, partially offset by a decline in Discovery Toys revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Discovery Toys revenue of $6.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 declined $760,000 compared to revenues of $7.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 mostly due to a 13.4% decline in the number of active selling Educational Consultants, which resulted in product sales falling $900,000 during the period. The Company is continuing to focus on its recruiting activities to improve the number of actively selling Educational Consultants. This decline was partially offset by an increase in the sales of groups of products bundled into Kits of $90,000. Regals revenues of $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 consisted of $9.3 million in card, gift and other product sales and $0.3million in shipping revenue and $0.3 million in catalog and other sales. Regals revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $9.9 million compared, on a pro forma (Regals operating results prior to being acquired by Eos) basis, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, with $0.2 million of the decline due to higher representative and promotional discounts, partially offset by $0.1 million of increased product sales compared to the same period of 2001. 13 |
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $33,502,000 compared to revenues of $14,677,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase over the prior year period is due to the acquisition of Regal in December 2001, partially offset by a $1,226,000 decline in Discovery Toys revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Discovery Toys sales of $13.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 declined $1,226,000 compared to $14.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 mostly due to a 8.4% decline in the number of active selling Educational Consultants which resulted in product sales falling $1,631,000 during the period. This decline was partially offset by a reduction in the commissions paid (which are recorded as offsets to revenue in our Statements of Operations) to Educational Consultants of $398,000 versus the same period in 2001. Regals revenues of $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 consisted of $18.8 million in card, gift and other product sales and $0.7 million in shipping revenue and $0.5 million in catalog and other sales. Regals revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $20.0 million compared, on a pro forma basis, to $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, with $0.4 million of the decline related to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuation and with $0.4 million of the decline due to higher representative and promotional discounts, partially offset by increased product and catalog sales compared to the same period of 2001. Cost of Sales and Gross Margin Total cost of sales increased to $8,845,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $4,584,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase over the prior year is due to the acquisition of Regal, partially offset by a decline of $423,000 in Discovery Toys cost of goods sold related to lower sales volumes at Discovery Toys for the same period. Gross Margin percentages in the three months ended June 30, 2002 improved by 7.2 percentage points, to 47.3% from 40.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 because of the favorable gross profit mix from the inclusion of the Regal business. Discovery Toys margin declined to 39.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2002, from 40.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2001 mostly due to reduced margins attributable to price discounts on selected products. Total cost of sales increased to $18,090,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $8,816,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase over the prior year is also due to the acquisition of Regal, offset somewhat by a decline of $466,000 in Discovery Toys cost of goods sold related to lower sales volumes at Discovery Toys for the period. Gross Margin percentages in the six months ended June 30, 2002 improved by 6.1 percentage points, to 46.6% from 39.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 because of the favorable gross profit mix from the inclusion of the Regal business. Discovery Toys margin declined to 37.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 39.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2001, mostly due to reduced margins attributable to price discounts on selected products and lower margins on freight revenue. Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $5,112,000, compared to $1,303,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily due to additional payroll and benefits costs of $1,367,000 and advertising costs of $1,531,000 related to Regal. Other increases included sales center operating costs related to marketing and selling the Regal product lines acquired in December 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, sales and marketing expenses of $10,089,000 were $7,440,000 higher than the $2,649,000 reported for the six months ended June 30, 2001, reflecting additional payroll costs of $2,710,000 and advertising costs of $2,752,000 related to the Regal business. Sales center operating costs for Regal also increased sales and marketing expense by $775,000. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses (G&A) increased to $5,358,000 in the three months June 30, 2002 from $2,261,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Additional expenses were largely related to corporate overhead costs associated with Eos in the amount of $424,000 and normal G&A expenses related to the Regal business of $2,525,000 that consist primarily of payroll and benefits of $1,250,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses of $590,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, general and administrative expenses were $10,266,000 compared to $4,707,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to corporate overhead costs for Eos of $804,000 and normal G&A expenses for the Regal business of $4,775,000 as discussed above. We expect to continue to also incur higher G&A costs due to Eos overhead, associated with the Companys status as an SEC registrant and its continuing acquisition efforts. Normal general and administrative costs associated with the Regal business are also expected to continue to run at the same rate. Amortization of Negative Goodwill - Negative Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the net assets over the purchase price resulting from the acquisition of Discovery Toys in January 1999. The Company was amortizing negative goodwill over a ten-year period using the straight-line method. The Company recognized $131,000 and $262,000 of income during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, in relation to this amortization. Due to adoption of SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002, no such entries were made in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. See cumulative effect of change in accounting principle discussed below. 14 |
Operating Loss The Company recorded an operating loss of $2,536,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to an operating loss of $369,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Both Discovery Toys and Regal operate highly seasonal businesses, which generate a large portion of their revenue in the fourth quarter. Discovery Toys loss in the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $624,000 higher, including Eos overhead charges of $250,000 not included in the prior year period, than in the three months ended June 30, 2001 due to the revenue decline previously discussed and the absence of amortization of negative goodwill of $131,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Regals operating loss of $1,369,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the normal seasonality in its markets. Although Regals gross margin percent improved slightly, operating expenses for payroll related and advertising costs increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001, and resulted in a larger operating loss of $511,000 on a pro forma basis in the three months ended June 30, 2002. Additional corporate overhead costs from Eos of $424,000 also contributed to the total operating loss in the three months ended June 30, 2002. The operating loss of $4,943,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased from the operating loss of $1,233,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Discovery Toys loss in the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1,029,000 higher, including Eos overhead charges of $250,000 not included in the prior year period, than in the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to the revenue decline previously discussed and the absence of amortization of negative goodwill of $262,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Regals operating loss of $2,127,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the normal seasonality in its markets. Regals gross margin percent declined slightly and operating expenses for payroll related and advertising costs increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, and resulted in a larger operating loss of $658,000 on a pro forma basis in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Additional corporate overhead costs from Eos of $804,000 also contributed to the total operating loss in the six months ended June 30, 2002. Interest Expense and Interest Income Interest expense, net of interest income (net interest expense) , for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $2,215,000 compared to net interest expense of $249,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in net interest expense is partially due to lower cash and cash equivalent balances, but primarily due to interest expense of $2,016,000 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002, on notes used to finance the Regal acquisition and an increase in costs of the warrants issued in connection therewith. Net interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $3,882,000 compared to $292,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase is primarily related to note interest of $3,531,000 incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2002 related to financing the Regal acquisition. Other Income (Expense) Other income, net of other expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $49,000 compared to $(66,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Other income, net of other expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $69,000 compared to $2,056,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 when other income was primarily attributable to the recognition of the remaining $2,074,000 of unearned revenue due from a sales and merchandising agreement between Discovery Toys and a prominent internet retailer. A default by the internet retailer terminated this merchandising and promotion agreement with Discovery Toys. Provision for Income Taxes Provision for taxes was a credit of $536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to a credit of $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The credits in 2002 resulted from pretax losses at Regal, which was acquired in mid-December 2001. Regal expects to have sufficient taxable income for 2002 to apply such credits. The provision for taxes was also a credit, $847,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to a credit of $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle - In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may not be accounted for separately. SFAS No. 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. 15 |
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001 and with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the remaining unamortized negative goodwill has been recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. As a result, the Company has recorded a benefit of approximately $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2002 resulting from the write-off of negative goodwill recorded on the books of Discovery Toys. Goodwill was also recorded as part of the purchase price allocation in conjunction with the acquisition of Regal Greetings and Gifts on December 14, 2001. In compliance with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 this goodwill was tested for impairment during the second quarter of 2002 and no impairment was noted at that time. Net Income/(Loss) and Earnings Per ShareThe net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $3,977,000 was $3.3 million worse than the loss of $677,000 reported for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The three months ended June 30, 2002 was negatively impacted by the additional net loss generated by inclusion of Regals results, mostly due to the seasonality of its business and the increase in interest expense associated with its acquisition. Additional corporate overhead expenses of Eos of $424,000 also contributed to the consolidated loss. Additional interest expense of $2,016,000 incurred as a result of financing obtained to acquire Regal contributed to the negative impact as well. Basic earnings per share were $(0.07) for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $(0.02) for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Weighted average shares outstanding increased to 56,132,000 outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 37,728,000 outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2001, mainly as a result of the reverse merger during 2001 between Eos and Discovery Toys. The net loss for the the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $3,906,000 was $4.4 million worse than the net income of $538,000 net profit reported in the six months ended June 30, 2001. The six months ended June 30, 2002 was also negatively impacted by the additional net loss generated by inclusion of Regals results, mostly due to the seasonality of its business and the increase in interest expense associated with its acquisition. Additional corporate overhead expenses of Eos of $804,000 also contributed to the consolidated loss. Additional interest expense of $3,531,000 incurred as a result of financing obtained to acquire Regal contributed to the negative impact as well. Basic earnings/(loss) per share of $(0.07) for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.01 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The six months ended June 30, 2001 was impacted positively by the inclusion of $2,074,000 from the recognition of other income from the termination of an internet retailer sales and marketing agreement and recording the remaining deferred income resulting from the agreement with Discovery Toys. Weighted average shares outstanding increased to 56,132,000 outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 37,771,000 outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2001, mainly as a result of the reverse merger during 2001 between Eos and Discovery Toys. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesDuring the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company used approximately $10.8 million of cash in operating activities, primarily due to operating losses incurred during the period, payment of prior quarters seasonal buildup of inventory purchases for anticipated sales, sales consultant compensation liabilities and the impact of seasonality on the business where it historically incurs operating losses during the first three quarters of each year. At June 30, 2002, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $1.2 million, compared to $8.4 million of positive working capital at December 31, 2001. Working capital was negatively impacted by the use of cash to support operating losses for the quarter, the accrual of interest and warrant expenses related to short-term borrowings, and the reclassification of a note payable to Avon Products, Inc. from a long-term liability to a current liability, along with a seasonal buildup of inventory. Eos must raise additional capital to continue to successfully execute its new strategy as a holding company for consumer products companies. Both Discovery Toys and Regal are highly seasonal businesses that may require additional borrowings from their respective primary lenders to meet seasonal operating cash requirements through at least the third quarter of 2002. The Companys operations are constrained by an insufficient amount of working capital. At June 30, 2002, the Company had negative working capital of $1,197,000. Further, the Company has experienced negative cash flows and net operating losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002. Due to the seasonal nature of the Companys business, the Company expects to generate positive operating cash flows during the fourth quarter of 2002. However, there can be no assurances that future income will be sufficient to fund future operations, as discussed above. Eos has short term notes in the amount of $3.0 million payable to Weichert and $3.5 million payable to DL Holdings plus accrued interest which were to become due August 14, 2002 but which have been extended and will become due September 30, 2002. Eos must raise sufficient capital or arrange additional financing terms by September 30, 2002 to satisfy these obligations, or arrange with these creditors to defer these obligations. The Company is subject to restrictions imposed by lenders and certain note holders of its subsidiaries that limit advances that Discovery Toys and Regal may make to Eos or to cover its corporate overhead and operating expenses. There can be no assurance that operating cash flows generated from future sales will be sufficient to fund Eos or the Companys operations, and there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to Eos or the Company to fund operations. For these reasons, there is uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern beyond August 31, 2002. Further, the Companys independent auditors indicated that substantial doubt exists as to the Companys ability to continue to operate as a going concern in their report included in the Eos 2001 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. 16 |
Discovery Toys current projections indicate it will need a relaxation of the borrowing requirements from its primary lender, PNC Bank (PNC), in excess of $1.5 million from July through October of 2002. On April 26, 2002, Discovery Toys entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with PNC that permitted Discovery Toys to pay funds to Eos for corporate overhead charges incurred by Eos in the amount of $250,000 until June 30, 2002 and an additional $150,000 during the remainder of 2002 for $400,000 in total during the year. In July 2002, Discovery Toys entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with PNC that allows relaxation of its borrowing base requirements (Overadvances) from July 1, 2002 until November 30, 2002. The modification eases the borrowing base restrictions by $600,000 in July 2002, $1.5 million in August 2002, $1,750,000 in September and October, and $700,000 in November 2002. This amendment prohibits the payment of management fees payable to certain related parties and advances to Eos if such payments result in outstanding Overadvances. The amendment also extends the term of the line of credit agreement to July 21, 2003. Regal has significant interest bearing obligations incurred in connection with Eos acquisition of Regal. Current operating projections indicate that Regal will fully utilize its operating line of credit during 2002. There can be no assurances that Regal will not be required to request relaxation of its borrowing base requirements from its primary lender on its line of credit during the next 12 months or that, if requested, its lender will agree to a relaxation of the borrowing base requirements. Failure to negotiate satisfactory agreements with its lenders to meet Eos operating cost requirements and seasonal financing requirements of Discovery Toys and Regal or the failure to secure additional financing or sources of capital to meet its corporate overhead expenses and the repayment of the short term notes could result in the cessation of operations, or an involuntary bankruptcy of Eos or one or more of its subsidiaries. In connection with the issuance of short-term notes in December 2001, Eos issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,600,000 shares of the Eos common stock to the short-term note holders. Because Eos short-term notes were not repaid by their original maturity date of April 13, 2002, Eos incurred $1,170,000 of expense associated with an increase in the price at which the holders may sell or put their warrants back to Eos during the second quarter of 2002. Because Eos did not repay these short-term notes and was unable to exercise its call option and repurchase the warrants issued to the note holders by August 14, 2002, Eos will incur an additional $390,000 of expense, or a total of $780,000 of expense for the third quarter of 2002, associated with an increase in the redemption value of the warrants following this date. Failure by the Company to have adequate liquidity to meet its corporate overhead expenses could result in failure to pay the salary of its chairman, Peter Lund. With the employment agreement currently in effect, such a failure could constitute a constructive termination, which would require payment of Mr. Lunds deferred compensation in the amount of $3.0 million. The Company would currently be unable to satisfy this obligation. This could cause Eos to cease operations or result in an involuntary bankruptcy. The Company is currently in negotiations with Mr. Lund regarding changes to his salary and bonus. Management is also actively pursuing new sources of financing which may include additional sales of Eos securities to provide sufficient cash to meet its short term debt requirements, provide additional working capital and fund future potential acquisitions. There can be no assurance that any new sources of financing will be available on terms acceptable to Eos, if at all. 17 |
Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet AdoptedIn 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. This statement eliminates the current requirement that gains and losses on debt extinguishment must be classified as extraordinary items in the income statement. Instead, such gains and losses will be classified as extraordinary items only if they are deemed to be unusual and infrequent, in accordance with the current GAAP criteria for extraordinary classification. In addition, SFAS No. 145 eliminates an inconsistency in lease accounting by requiring that modifications of capital leases that result in reclassification as operating leases be accounted for consistent with sale-leaseback accounting rules. The statement also contains other nonsubstantive corrections to authoritative accounting literature. The changes related to debt extinguishment will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, and the changes related to lease accounting will be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. Adoption of this standard will not have any immediate effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company will apply this guidance prospectively. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market RiskFOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK We use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency, except for our Canadian subsidiary, Regal, which uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. Foreign currency assets and liabilities, including U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities held by Regal, are re-measured into the Canadian dollar functional currency using end-of-period exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities and historical exchange rates for non-monetary assets and liabilities. Foreign currency revenues and expenses are remeasured using average exchange rates in effect during each period. Gains or losses arising from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in the Companys statements of operations in the period they occur. For consolidation purposes, Regals financial statements are translated to the U.S. dollar reporting currency using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and using monthly rates for revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising from the translation of assets and liabilities are deferred and included in the cumulative translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity. Foreign currency exchange risk primarily arises from U.S. dollar denominated purchases of inventory from U.S. suppliers by Regal, our Canadian subsidiary. Currently, approximately 70% of Regal's inventory purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2002, current liabilities of $540,000 related to inventory purchases were denominated in U.S. dollars. Since Regals functional currency is the Canadian dollar, changes in the rate of exchange between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar can affect Regals reported results of operations in the following two ways: |
1) | Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of payables denominated in U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates are recorded in the Companys results of operations |
2) | A portion of Regals cost of goods sold is denominated in the US dollar, however Regals sales are denominated in the Canadian dollar. As a result, a decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar would result in a decrease in the Companys reported gross margin from sales. |
To mitigate these risks, Regal began to use forward currency exchange contracts to minimize the adverse earnings impact from the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on its non-Canadian balance sheet exposures during the three months ended March 31, 2002. The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments are recognized through earnings. If the derivative is a cash flow hedge the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivatives change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company has not designated any of its forward currency exchange contracts as hedges. 18 |
At June 30, 2002, Regal had forward currency exchange contracts outstanding with a notional value of $1,200,000 to buy U.S. dollars. The fair value of these contracts on June 30, 2002 of $57,000 has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet, and the decrease in the fair value of its derivative contracts as of June 30, 2002 of $57,000 and $69,000 has been recorded as a component of other expense in the statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar at June 30, 2002 would have had no adverse impact on our reported results of operations related to the remeasurement of payables denominated in U.S. dollars, net of estimated mitigating effects of forward currency exchange contracts outstanding. This same hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar at June 30, 2002 would not have had a significant negative effect on our reported gross margin since the majority of our sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were of inventory purchased in earlier periods. Our forward currency exchange contracts involve counterparty risk. The counterparty to these contracts is the Bank of Nova Scotia, with regard to which we believe that there is no significant default risk involved. INTEREST RATE RISK. The Companys interest rate risk is discussed in Item 7A. of its 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 10, 2002. There has not been any significant change in the interest rate since December 31, 2001. PART II. OTHER INFORMATIONItem 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K |
