NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

2.                   INVENTORIES

 

Inventories, net of reserves, at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 consist of the following ($ in thousands):

3.                   NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic and diluted net income/(loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.  Since the Company has a net loss from continuing operations, there were no common share equivalents that were dilutive during any of the periods presented.  The changes in outstanding shares during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are shown below:

4,956,535

 

 

Shares issued during the three months ended March 31, 2003 reflect the conversion of Series A preferred stock into common shares as described in Note 12.

 

The weighted average common shares exclude securities that would be anti-dilutive upon conversion. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2003, there are 7,700,000 common shares (770,000 preferred shares convertible at 10 common shares each), 1,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 that expire

in March 2010, 810,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share that expire in March 2007, and 85,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.75 per share that expire in March 2008, 119,250 warrants with exercise prices between $1.00 and $1.15 per share that expire between 2003 and 2007, and 2,885,500 stock options that are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Earnings (loss) per share is computed as follows:

4.                   INCOME TAXES

 

There was no income tax provision/(benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 as any provision/(benefit) was offset by a corresponding reduction/(increase) in the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.

 

5.                   CURRENT DEBT

 

In June 2002, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Cole Taylor Bank, with an expiration date of June 30, 2004, that provided for a revolving credit facility initially for $750,000 with the possibility of increases up to $2.0 million. The availability under the credit facility could be increased to $2.0 million if the Company achieved earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of at least $50,000 for three (3) consecutive months. Outstanding advances under the Agreement bear interest at prime plus 1.00%.   Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company had pledged accounts receivables, inventory and equipment as collateral.

 

The Company had no borrowings under the credit facility as of December 31, 2002 and had no borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2003.  With the termination of the preferred supplier and support agreements with Anheuser-Busch, the credit facility with Cole Taylor Bank was terminated effective March 31, 2003.

 

 

6.                   ESCROW SHARES

 

The number of outstanding common shares does not include 228,266 shares held in escrow in connection with an acquisition by the Company pursuant to a Pledge, Security and Escrow Agreement dated June 2, 1997.  All of the interest in and title to these 228,266 shares was transferred to Anita Ltd. and then subsequently transferred to the Company as part of a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Releases dated as of December 21, 2000.  These shares will ultimately be

 

5



 

released from the escrow to the Company and will be cancelled.  Therefore, the Company has, for accounting purposes, treated these shares as cancelled effective as of December 21, 2000.

 

7.                   PATENT APPLICATION

 

On March 20, 2002, the Company filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a “Method and System for Point of Purchase Sign Creation and Delivery.”  In addition, the Company filed an international patent application for the same invention to protect patent rights in foreign countries.  The Company expects that after examination, it will be awarded a patent to protect its valuable intellectual property. Centiv has developed this system which allows a user access to an information database for selecting sign templates, inputting data for the sign templates and selecting and ordering signage products for production of the sign templates having the data input.

 

8.                   RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

During 2002, as a result of the termination of the preferred supplier and support agreement with Anheuser Busch, the Company reduced headcount and other operating expenses.  Accordingly, $87,000 has been charged to operations in 2002 consisting of $75,000 for severance costs for reductions in staff and $12,000 relating to early lease termination cost.

 

During the three months ending March 31, 2003, payments of $12,000 were made for employee separations of $12,000 and facility closings.  The restructuring reserve balance was $63,000 as of March 31, 2003 with the remaining payments to be made during the second quarter ending June 30, 2003.

Centiv offers web services for consumer brand companies to manage their in-store and on-premise point-of-purchase (POP) process.  The final product is high quality digitally produced signage that is mass customized for the unique requirements of each retail location.

 

During 2001, the Company decided to focus on and dedicate its resources to its POP business.  To further that goal, in December 2001, the Company sold the Channels Business and, effective January 31, 2002, sold Calgraph Technology Services, Inc.   The results of these businesses have been reclassified to discontinued operations.  As a result of these divestitures, the Company currently operates as a single business unit.

10.            RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain amounts in the March 31, 2002 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2003 presentation.

 

11.           DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

CalGraph Technology Services Business

 

Effective January 31, 2002, the Company sold the assets of the Calgraph Technology Services Business to Graphic Enterprises of Ohio, Inc.  Centiv received consideration for the sale of the Calgraph assets in the amount of $1,050,000 in cash plus a minimum royalty of $625,000 to be paid over a 25 month period beginning in May 2002.  Graphic Enterprises also assumed certain liabilities of Calgraph.  The Company realized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $586,000, which is the cash received plus the present value of the royalty payments less the book value of the net assets and less transaction fees associated with the sale of the business.  In addition, the Company wrote off the deferred tax asset of $98,000 relating to the Calgraph Technology Services Business.  The pretax loss from operations for Calgraph Technology Services Business in January 2002 was $108,000.

 

12.            PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SECURITIES

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

On March 28, 2002 and April 15, 2002, the Company sold, in two separate closings, a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 191,000 and 25,000 units respectively, each unit consisting of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock and one warrant to purchase one additional share of convertible preferred stock. The purchase price for each unit was $10.00 per unit.  This sale of units was ratified by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on June 11, 2002.  Because each share of convertible preferred stock was convertible, initially, into ten shares of common stock, the effective purchase price was $1.00 for each share of common stock purchased.  The warrant that was included in each unit gives the holder the right, until five years after the issuance of the warrant, to purchase one share of convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $15.00 per share (the equivalent of $1.50 per share of common stock).

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred stock had a liquidation preference over common stock equal to the purchase price of the convertible preferred stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.  The  Series A Convertible Preferred stock  began to accrue dividends on March 31, 2003 at an annual rate equal to 8% of the purchase price of the convertible preferred stock.  In addition, if not previously converted into common stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred stock was subject to redemption at the option of the Company on the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the convertible preferred stock at a redemption price equal to the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.  If the Company failed to redeem the convertible preferred stock on that date, the holders of the convertible preferred stock become entitled to elect a majority of the board of directors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors elected by virtue of the voting rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock would have had to recuse themselves from any vote to redeem all or a portion of the convertible preferred stock.

 

Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock were $2,160,000, of which $1,910,000 was received at the March 28, 2002 closing and the remaining $250,000 was received at the April 25, 2002 closing.  Aggregate transaction costs of $135,000 representing legal, accounting and registration fees were incurred bringing the net proceeds to $2,025,000.  The net proceeds were used to pay off and cancel the Company’s previous credit facility with Wachovia Bank, NA.

 

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the convertible preferred stock and warrants based on the fair value of the common stock of $1.00 per share as of the date of commitment. The warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share, were valued at $810,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The beneficial conversion feature was calculated to be $810,000 at the commitment

date of March 28, 2002 and has been recorded as Additional Paid in Capital. As the preferred shares were convertible immediately, the entire amount of the beneficial conversion feature was accreted into the Accumulated Deficit at March 31, 2002.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was initially convertible into ten shares of common stock for each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock.  This conversion ratio, however, was subject to anti-dilution adjustment for stock splits, combinations and other similar changes and if the Company issued, except in limited circumstances, any capital stock for a per share price less than the then current conversion price.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was, pursuant to its terms, to be automatically converted if (i) holders of 2/3 of the outstanding shares of such preferred stock agreed to convert, (ii) the Company’s revenues exceeded $5 million for any two consecutive quarters, or (iii) the Company recognized $20 million in revenues for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2003.

 

The Company did, in fact, recognize $20 million in revenues for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2003 and thus, all of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on March 31, 2003 was converted into common stock and the associated warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock.

 

On March 31, 2003, as part of the issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the investors who also owned Series A Preferred Stock converted 135,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) into 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  The associated warrants were cancelled for no value.  No Warrants were issued in connection with the shares of Series B Preferred issued in conversion for the Series A Convertible Preferred.  The remaining 81,000 outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred were converted on March 31, 2003 into 810,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred certificate of designations. Therefore, as of March 31, 2003, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

On March 31, 2003, the Company sold, in a private placement exempt from registration, 500,000 units, each consisting of one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) and one warrant to purchase two shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”), which amounted to 20% warrant coverage.  As part of the private placement, the holders of $500,000 of the outstanding Convertible Subordinated Debt converted into Series B Preferred on the same terms as new investments.  The remaining $500,000 of Convertible Subordinated Debt was repaid in full from proceeds of this offering.  In addition, the Company issued an additional 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred in conversion of 135,000 shares of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). No Warrants were issued in connection with the shares of Series B Preferred issued in conversion of the Series A Preferred.  In addition, the warrants to purchase Series A Preferred held by the Series A Preferred investors were cancelled for no value in connection with the conversion.  The remaining 81,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred was converted on March 31, 2003 into 810,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred certificate of designations.

 

The purchase price for each unit was $5.00 per unit (the “Purchase Price”).  Because each share of Series B Preferred is convertible, initially, into ten shares of Common Stock, the effective purchase price was $0.50 for each share of Common Stock purchased.  The Warrant gives the holder the right, until seven years after the issuance of the Warrant, to purchase two shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share.  Neither the Series B Preferred nor the Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  Therefore, they may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

The Series B Preferred has a liquidation preference over Common Stock equal to two times the Purchase

 

8



 

Price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  If not previously converted, the Series B Preferred will begin to accrue dividends on April 1, 2004 at an annual rate equal to 8% of the Purchase Price per year.  In addition, if not previously converted into Common Stock, the Series B Preferred will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on March 31, 2007 at a redemption price equal to the Series B Preferred liquidation preference amount.  If the Company fails to redeem the Series B Preferred on that date, the holders of the Series B Preferred become entitled to elect a majority of the board of directors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors elected by virtue of the voting rights of the Series B Preferred would have to recuse themselves from any vote to redeem all or a portion of the Series B Preferred.

 

As stated, the Series B Preferred is initially convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock for each share of the Series B Preferred.  This conversion ratio, however, is subject to anti-dilution adjustment if the Company issues any capital stock (or securities exercisable for or convertible into capital stock) for a per share price less than the then current conversion price of $0.50 per share, except for issuances pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan and certain other issuances to business partners.  The anti-dilution adjustment will be made on a full-ratchet basis.  The anti-dilution protection will not apply until the Company’s stockholders ratify the issuance of the Series B Preferred.

 

The purchasers of the Series B Preferred may voluntarily convert the Series B Preferred into Common Stock at any time.  The Series B Preferred will be automatically converted into Common Stock if (i) the Company meets either Conversion Milestone defined below, or (ii) holders of 2/3 of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred agree to convert.  In either event, however, an automatic conversion will only occur if a registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion is in effect at that time. “Conversion Milestone” means either (a) the Company’s pretax earnings from ongoing operations are equal to or greater than $6 million in the aggregate in any four consecutive fiscal quarters as determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as applied by the Company on the date when the Series B Preferred was first issued and the closing trading price of the Company’s Common Stock is equal to or greater than $2.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares after the filing date hereof) for ten consecutive Trading Days (as defined below), or (b) the closing of a “firm commitment” underwritten public offering of Common Stock in which the public offering price per share of Common Stock is at least equal to 3 times the then-applicable conversion price for the Series B Preferred and which offering results in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $15 million.  “Trading Day” means a business day on which at least 50,000 shares of Common Stock are traded on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such security is listed or traded.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock financing included cash proceeds of $2,000,000 plus the conversion of $500,000 of the Company’s Senior Convertible Subordinated Debt that was issued on September 28, 2002.  The remaining Senior Convertible Subordinated Debt of $500,000 was repaid out of the proceeds of this financing and as of March 31, 2003 the Company was debt free. Aggregate transaction costs of $90,000 representing legal, accounting and registration fees were incurred bringing the net proceeds, after repaying the Subordinated Debt and transaction costs, to $1,410,000.

 

There was no beneficial conversion feature on the Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants based on the fair value of the common stock of $0.34 per share as of the date of commitment. The warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, were valued at $159,176 using the Black-Scholes valuation method.

 

13.            CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT

 

On September 30, 2002, the Company issued $1 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes to private investors.  These notes were convertible into equity, at the lenders’ option upon the closing of, and at the same terms as, the next equity financing in which the Company raises at least $1,000,000.  The loan had a term that extended until the earlier of July 1, 2004 or two business days following the closing of an equity financing described above and pays interest at a rate of 10% per year.  In addition, the

 

9



 

lenders received an aggregate of 50,000 warrants granted at the closing of the loan and were eligible to receive an aggregate of an additional 20,000 warrants per month until such time as the loan was fully repaid or converted into equity.

 

The warrant is exercisable at $1.75 per share and was callable by the Company if the market price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $5.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.  The initial 50,000 warrants granted at closing were valued at $11,858 using the Black-Scholes valuation method creating an unamortized discount on the Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes.  The unamortized discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

On March 31, 2003, $500,000 of the Senior Subordinated Convertible Debt was converted to Series B Preferred Stock and the remaining $500,000 was repaid out of the proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock financing as described above.

 

The 25,000 warrants granted on the $500,000 of Senior Subordinated Convertible Debt, which were converted into Series B Preferred Stock, were cancelled effective March 31, 2003.  The remaining 25,000 warrants granted on the $500,000 of Senior Subordinated Debt that was repaid are still active and outstanding.  In addition, the Company granted 60,000 warrants on March 31, 2003 to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Debt that were repaid representing the warrants earned for the period October 1, 2002 through March 31, 2003.  The additional 60,000 warrants granted as of March 31, 2003 were valued at $2,700 using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Since the Company had accrued $14,400 for the warrants as of December 31, 2002, an adjustment to income of $11,700 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

 

14.            RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On December 1, 1999, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with William M. Rychel pursuant to which the Company loaned Mr. Rychel a total of $1,775,000 to purchase from certain shareholders a total of 806,983 shares of our common stock.  The original term of the loan was one year which the Company extended until December 1, 2001 and, on December 1, 2001, the Company entered into another amendment with Mr. Rychel that extended the due date of the loan until December 1, 2002.  In exchange for extending the loan, Mr. Rychel agreed to a non-compete and a confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreement.  Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, this loan could not be extended beyond its current maturity of December 1, 2002 or otherwise materially modified.  On November 25, 2002, the Company repurchased the 806,983 shares in exchange for the outstanding loan plus accrued interest of $2,250,283.  The shares repurchased have been put into Treasury Stock using the closing market price of the stock of $0.94 per share.  The difference between the outstanding loan balance and the Treasury Stock resulted in a non-cash charge of $1,491,719.

 

Upon consummation of the Channels Business transaction, Centiv made loans to three former members of Centiv’s management team involved in the transaction.  A loan in the amount of $200,000 was made to Scott Barker.  This loan is secured by 100,000 shares of Centiv common stock owned by Mr. Barker and will bear interest at a rate of 25 basis points over the current rate on the Company’s senior debt facility, as adjusted from time to time.  The principal amount of this loan plus accrued interest shall be due and payable December 31, 2003.  Upon the completion of the Channels Business transaction, the Company also made loans to Dave Boston and Pat McLaughlin on the same terms and conditions in the amounts of $30,000 and $20,000, respectively.

 

John P. Larkin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer was an investor in the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock closed on March 31, 2003.  In connection with the investment, Mr. Larkin purchased 20,000 Units, each consisting of one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase two shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  In connection with that transaction, Mr. Larkin agreed with the Company to waive his conversion rights and to grant to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer an irrevocable proxy to vote those shares (in accordance with the

 

10



 

vote of the majority of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote thereon excluding these shares) until the Company’s stockholders ratify the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

15.            STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective for fiscal 2003, the Company adopted  the disclosure requirements under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” as an amendment to SFAS No. 123.

 

Stock-based employee compensation, including stock options, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was accounted for under the intrinsic value-based method as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Therefore, no compensation expense was recognized for those stock options that had no intrinsic value on the date of grant.

 

If the Company were to recognize compensation expense over the relevant service period under the fair-value method of SFAS No. 123 with respect to stock options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and all prior years, net earnings would have decreased, resulting in pro forma net earnings and EPS as presented below:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes.

 

Overview

 

We are a developer and provider of Web-enabled point-of-purchase (POP) solutions for consumer goods manufacturers and multi-location retailers.  Our Instant Impact solution allows marketing managers, brand managers and retailers to create, edit and schedule delivery of customized POP signage, using field-editable sign templates created and/or approved by manufacturers. Instant Impact POP signage is print quality and digitally produced for the unique requirements of each retail location, allowing users to target specific consumer segments at the POP and accumulate quantitative data for analysis and feedback on the success of their in-store or on-premise marketing campaigns. Our products allow a user to access an information database for selecting sign templates approved or created by manufacturers, input data for the sign templates and select signage products for production of the sign templates. Our Internet-based user interface is clear, flexible, user-friendly and changeable to allow control of the message at a corporate or local store level. Instant Impact signage can either be printed in a Centiv print center, or an industry-standard print-formatted file can be delivered via the Internet to any print provider in the world.  We believe that our Instant Impact solution improves marketing results (due to improved signage utilization, customization and images), provides measurable marketing feedback, reduces signage lead time, allows for distribution of brand identity while protecting the integrity of that identity and reduces the costs associated with in-store and on-premises custom signage.

 

The roots of Centiv’s introduction to the custom POP segment were formed in 1998 when we partnered with Anheuser-Busch (A-B) to design, configure, deliver and implement a proprietary A-B POP signage system in over 730 A-B wholesale distributors in the United States and 16 foreign countries. This led to a relationship with Anheuser-Busch pursuant to which we installed a POP system for A-B allowing distributors to access that system to create custom signage using templates created by A-B.  In addition, as part of our agreement, Centiv maintained rights to supply consumable print materials to these distributors supported by an in-house call center service. As a result of our exposure to the custom signage business Centiv invested in the development of a web- based platform for the collaborative versioning of POP signage.  Beginning in 2001, Centiv began the commercialization of Instant Impact.   In December 2002, A-B notified Centiv that upon its expiration on March 31, 2003, Centiv would no longer be the preferred supplier for various consumables of the system and our preferred supplier technical support agreement would not be renewed.  Our activities with A-B and its distributors terminated upon the expiration of that agreement.

 

With the termination of the preferred supplier and support agreement effective March 31, 2003, the sales to A-B and the wholesale distributor network will not occur in the future quarters of 2003.  We do not believe that sales from our Instant Impact product will be sufficient to replace the sales lost from A-B and its wholesale distributor network during 2003.  Total sales from A-B and its wholesale distributor network for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $24.9 million and sales during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $4.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively.  In response to this, we have undertaken a downsizing of our operations and have reduced our headcount and other operating expenses to a level that we believe will enable us to continue to operate our business.  Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to offset this loss of revenue sufficiently by cutting expenses or increasing revenue from other sources, we believe the actions taken, along with capital raised with the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, will provide adequate financing through at least the end of June 2004.

 

Although Centiv valued its relationship with A-B, the contract did not include the Instant Impact web-based process for POP design and delivery.  The A-B relationship was part of the legacy business model as a wholesaler of digital printing hardware and provider of consumable printing materials. The A-B relationship

 

12



 

had never involved the use of Instant Impactä.  As a result, A-B’s decision in no way reflects upon the relevancy and viability of this innovative service going forward.  Despite the revenue impact of losing our supply relationship with A-B, the net contribution impact was negligible. After a prudent assessment of our overhead costs and spending, we developed a strategy to defer or reduce ongoing expenses in order to minimize the financial impact of this event.

 

Although no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the sales for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, on a combined basis, distributors affiliated with Anheuser-Busch, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 97% and 99% of the sales.  For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, on a combined basis, distributors affiliated with Anheuser-Busch, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 85% and 98% of the sales.

 

International sales were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

 

Prior to focusing on the Centiv POP Business in 2001, Centiv operated three other business units in addition to the Centiv POP Business:

 

CalGraph Business: Formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, CalGraph Technology Services, Inc. was a provider of on-site service and preventative maintenance services specializing in wide-format printing devices.  CalGraph’s U.S. and Canadian service operations included field service technicians, customer support call center, component repair and refurbishment facilities and parts logistics.  The Company sold this business effective January 31, 2002 and it is reflected as Discontinued Operations in the Summary of Selected Financial Information and Selected Financial Information.

 

Channels Business: Prior to divestiture by  the Company, the Channels Division specialized in the value-added wholesale distribution of computer graphics technologies throughout North America. The Company sold this business effective December 31, 2001 and it is reflected as Discontinued Operations in the Summary of Selected Financial Information and Selected Financial Information.

 

Technology Systems Business:  Prior to divestiture by the Company, the Technology Systems Division designed, assembled and sold  custom or “made-to-order” premium services or workstations and related technology to value added resellers, vertical market computer resellers, corporations, universities and government agencies.  The Company sold the business effective October 31, 2000 and it is reflected as Discontinued Operations in the Summary of Selected Financial Information and Selected Financial Information.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

 

Net Sales from continuing operations.  Total net sales from continuing operations increased 26% or $975,000 to $4,782,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $3,807,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2002.  Sales of the Instant Impact product line for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $717,000 or 8.4 times the sales of $85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  The Q1 2003 sales for Instant Impact of $717,000 were greater than the sales of $638,000 for entire twelve months of 2002.  In addition, the Q1 sales of Instant Impact increased $517,000 or 3.6 times the Q4 2002 revenues of $200,000.   The sales increase in Q1 2003 was primarily attributable to expanded usage of the Instant Impact system from existing customers.  We expect that new customers to be implemented during the second quarter that we expect will result in additional revenue.

 

Sales to Anheuser-Busch (A-B) and its wholesale distributor network were $4.1 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  As previously mentioned, with the termination of the preferred supplier and support agreement effective March 31, 2003, the sales to A-B and the wholesale distributor network will not occur in the future quarters of 2003.

 

13



 

Gross Profit from continuing operations.  Gross profit from continuing operations increased 43% or $412,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $1,370,000 as compared to $958,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  The gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 3.4 percentage points to 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 25.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  The margin improvement is attributable to stronger sales mix of higher margin Instant Impact sales.  Instant Impact margins were 55% compared to margins of 24% for the A-B sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

 

SG&A Expenses from continuing operations.  SG&A expenses from continuing operations increased $69,000 or 6% to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  The increase in SG&A expenses over the prior year is from higher selling costs of $225,000 relating to additional A-B sales. Excluding the selling costs for A-B, SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $861,000 or a decrease of $156,000 or 15% compared to prior year. As a result of the termination of the A-B agreement, the costs associated with the A-B business as been reduced effective March 31, 2003.

 

Depreciation Expense from continuing operations.  Depreciation expense from continuing operations increased $9,000, or 7%, to $142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  The increase in depreciation expense relates to additional computer and production equipment purchased during the course of 2002 for the expansion of the print center.  Depreciation expense for the 2003 total year is not expected to be significantly higher than prior year’s level.

 

Other Income from continuing operations.  Other Income of $283,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 represents the settlement of outstanding liabilities associated with the termination of vendor contracts relating to the sale of the Channels Business.

 

Income Taxes from continuing operations.  The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 as the Company’s tax benefit was offset by a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.

 

Net Loss from continuing operations.  The Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $60,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a decrease in loss of $7,000 or 10%, as compared to the net loss of $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  Excluding the other income of $283,000 from prior year results, the net loss from continuing operations of $60,000 compared to a net loss of $350,000 in 2002 is an improvement of $290,000 or 83% year over year.  The improvement in the net loss is attributable primarily to the higher sales and margins from the growth in the Instant Impact product line.

 

Discontinued Operations:

 

The Company had net income from discontinued operations of $380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the discontinued operations.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

On March 31, 2003, the Company had $2.7 million in cash and a positive working capital of $2.3 million compared to $1.3 million in cash and $0.8 million in working capital as of December 31, 2002. The improvement is a result of the Series B preferred stock financing that was completed on March 31, 2003 (see Notes 12 and 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

14



 

The Company used $85,000 of cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $1.4 million of cash used from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002.  During the three months ended March 31, 2003, cash was used to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.3 million relating to vendor payments for the Anheuser Busch equipment upgrade that took place in Q4 2002.  Offsetting these payments was cash of $1.3 million through a reduction in accounts receivable, inventories and prepaid expenses as a result of the termination of the Anheuser Busch agreement.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company used $1.3 million of cash from operations.  The cash used was a result of the growth in accounts receivable of $441,000 due to higher sales and accounts payable and accrued expenses used cash of $1.3 million.  The accounts payable/accrued expense cash usage was primarily from the payment of transaction costs as well as other payments relating to vendor settlements associated with the sale of the Channels Business.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company generated cash of $62,000 from investing activities.  The Company received cash of $75,000 from the sale of the CalGraph Business (see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by cash used of $13,000 for the purchase of computer and production equipment.  For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company generated cash of $886,000 from investing activities.  The Company received cash of $1,050,000 from the sale of the CalGraph Business (see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by cash used of $164,000 for the purchase of software licenses, computer hardware and production equipment. Approximately $89,000 of the $164,000 of purchases related to one-time expenditures for splitting the software licenses and computer hardware due to the divestitures of Channels and CalGraph business units.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company generated cash of $1,402,000 from financing activities.  The Company received net proceeds of $1,910,000 from a private equity offering (see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  In addition, the Company repaid $500,000 of convertible subordinated debt (see Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company generated cash of $1,008,000 from financing activities.  The Company received $1,776,000 from private equity (see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  The net proceeds were used to pay off and cancel the Company’s credit facility with the bank.

 

The Company believes that its available funds together will be adequate to satisfy its current and planned operations, including restructuring accruals, for at least the next 12 months

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 46, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, “SFAS No. 145 addresses a variety of accounting practices.  The provisions of this statement related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 (Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt) are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.  The provisions of this statement related to Statement No. 13 (Accounting of Leases) are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002.  All other provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002.  Statement No. 44 was entitles “According for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers” and Statement No. 64 was entitled “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements.”

 

The company adopted those provisions of SFAS No. 145 that were effective as of May 15, 2002.  Adoption of those provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  For those provisions that are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, the Company does not

 

15



 

expect that adoption of those provisions will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” This statement requires recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.  This new statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.  The Company does not expect that adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN No. 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This is an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. FIN No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN No. 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end.  The disclosure requirements in FIN No.45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending December 15, 2002.  The Company does not expect that adoption of this interpretation will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.”  This statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both the annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported amounts.  The amendments to SFAS No. 123 in paragraphs 2(a)-2(e) of this statement were effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and were adopted by the Company in 2002.  Adoption of these paragraphs did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial positions.  The amendment to SFAS No. 123 in paragraph 2(f) of this Statement and the amendment to Opinion 28 in paragraph 3 are effective for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.  The Company does not expect that adoption of these portions of the statement will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial positions.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No.46 (FIN No. 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”  This is and interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, and revises the requirements for consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.  FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entitles in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.  It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise hold a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003.  FIN No. 46 applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period, and it applies to nonpublic enterprises as of the end of the applicable annual period.  FIN No. 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated.  The Company is not party to any variable interest entity.  The Company does not expect that adoption of this interpretation will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

 

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These statements appear in a number of places in this report and include all statements that are not historical

facts.  Some of the forward-looking statements relate to the intent, belief or expectations of the Company and its management regarding the Company’s strategies and plans for operations and growth.  Other forward-looking statements relate to trends affecting the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and the Company’s anticipated capital needs and expenditures.

 

Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those that are anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of the impact of competition and competitive pricing, business conditions and growth in the industry, general and economic conditions, and other risks.  Investors should review the more detailed description of these and other possible risks contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.  Credit risks with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the diversity of customers comprising the Company’s customer base.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and charges uncollectible amounts to operations when they are determined to be uncollectible.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

1.               Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14 (c) under the Exchange Act) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to us (or our consolidate subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

 

2.               Changes in internal controls.

 

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls during the period covered by this report or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

17



 

On March 28, 2002 and April 15, 2002, the Company sold, in two separate closings, a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 191,000 and 25,000 units respectively, each unit consisting of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock and one warrant to purchase one additional share of convertible preferred stock. The purchase price for each unit was $10.00 per unit.  This sale of units was ratified by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on June 11, 2002.  Because each share of convertible preferred stock was convertible, initially, into ten shares of common stock, the effective purchase price was $1.00 for each share of common stock purchased.  The warrant that was included in each unit gives the holder the right, until five years after the issuance of the warrant, to purchase one share of convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $15.00 per share (the equivalent of $1.50 per share of common stock).

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred stock had a liquidation preference over common stock equal to the purchase price of the convertible preferred stock plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.  The Series A Convertible Preferred stock  began to accrue dividends on March 31, 2003 at an annual rate equal to 8% of the purchase price of the convertible preferred stock.  In addition, if not previously converted into common stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred stock was subject to redemption at the option of the Company on the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the convertible preferred stock at a redemption price equal to the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.  If the Company failed to redeem the convertible preferred stock on that date, the holders of the convertible preferred stock become entitled to elect a majority of the board of directors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors elected by virtue of the voting rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock would have had to recuse themselves from any vote to redeem all or a portion of the convertible preferred stock.

 

Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock were $2,160,000, of which $1,910,000 was received at the March 28, 2002 closing and the remaining $250,000 was received at the April 25, 2002 closing.  Aggregate transaction costs of $135,000 representing legal, accounting and registration fees were incurred bringing the net proceeds to $2,025,000.  The net proceeds were used to pay off and cancel the Company’s previous credit facility with Wachovia Bank, NA.

 

The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the convertible preferred stock and warrants based on the fair value of the common stock of $1.00 per share as of the date of commitment. The warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share, were valued at $810,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The beneficial conversion feature was calculated to be $810,000 at the commitment date of March 28, 2002 and has been recorded as Additional Paid in Capital. As the preferred shares were convertible immediately, the entire amount of the beneficial conversion feature was accreted into the Accumulated Deficit at March 31, 2002.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was initially convertible into ten shares of common stock for each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock.  This conversion ratio, however, was subject to anti-dilution adjustment for stock splits, combinations and other similar changes and if the Company issued, except in limited circumstances, any capital stock for a per share price less than the then current conversion price.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was, pursuant to its terms, to be automatically converted if (i) holders of 2/3 of the outstanding shares of such preferred stock agreed to convert, (ii) the Company’s revenues exceeded $5 million for any two consecutive quarters, or (iii) the Company recognized $20 million in revenues for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2003.

 

The Company did, in fact, recognize $20 million in revenues for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2003 and thus, all of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on March 31, 2003 was converted into common stock and the associated warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock.

 

On March 31, 2003, as part of the issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the investors who

 

18



 

also owned Series A Preferred Stock converted 135,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) into 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  The associated warrants were cancelled for no value.  No Warrants were issued in connection with the shares of Series B Preferred issued in conversion for the Series A Convertible Preferred.  The remaining 81,000 outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred were converted on March 31, 2003 into 810,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred certificate of designations. Therefore, as of March 31, 2003, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

On March 31, 2003, the Company sold, in a private placement exempt from registration, 500,000 units, each consisting of one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) and one warrant to purchase two shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant”), which amounted to 20% warrant coverage.  As part of the private placement, the holders of $500,000 of the outstanding Convertible Subordinated Debt converted into Series B Preferred on the same terms as new investments.  The remaining $500,000 of Convertible Subordinated Debt was repaid in full from proceeds of this offering.  In addition, the Company issued an additional 270,000 shares of Series B Preferred in conversion of 135,000 shares of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). No Warrants were issued in connection with the shares of Series B Preferred issued in conversion of the Series A Preferred.  In addition, the warrants to purchase Series A Preferred held by the Series A Preferred investors were cancelled for no value in connection with the conversion.  The remaining 81,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred was converted on March 31, 2003 into 810,000 shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred certificate of designations.

 

The purchase price for each unit was $5.00 per unit (the “Purchase Price”).  Because each share of Series B Preferred is convertible, initially, into ten shares of Common Stock, the effective purchase price was $0.50 for each share of Common Stock purchased.  The Warrant gives the holder the right, until seven years after the issuance of the Warrant, to purchase two shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share.  Neither the Series B Preferred nor the Warrants have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  Therefore, they may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

The Series B Preferred has a liquidation preference over Common Stock equal to two times the Purchase Price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  If not previously converted, the Series B Preferred will begin to accrue dividends on April 1, 2004 at an annual rate equal to 8% of the Purchase Price per year.  In addition, if not previously converted into Common Stock, the Series B Preferred will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on March 31, 2007 at a redemption price equal to the Series B Preferred liquidation preference amount.  If the Company fails to redeem the Series B Preferred on that date, the holders of the Series B Preferred become entitled to elect a majority of the board of directors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors elected by virtue of the voting rights of the Series B Preferred would have to recuse themselves from any vote to redeem all or a portion of the Series B Preferred.

 

As stated, the Series B Preferred is initially convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock for each share of the Series B Preferred.  This conversion ratio, however, is subject to anti-dilution adjustment if the Company issues any capital stock (or securities exercisable for or convertible into capital stock) for a per share price less than the then current conversion price of $0.50 per share, except for issuances pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan and certain other issuances to business partners.  The anti-dilution adjustment will be made on a full-ratchet basis.  The anti-dilution protection will not apply until the Company’s stockholders ratify the issuance of the Series B Preferred.

 

The purchasers of the Series B Preferred may voluntarily convert the Series B Preferred into Common Stock at any time.  The Series B Preferred will be automatically converted into Common Stock if (i) the Company meets either Conversion Milestone defined below, or (ii) holders of 2/3 of the outstanding

 

19



 

shares of the Series B Preferred agree to convert.  In either event, however, an automatic conversion will only occur if a registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion is in effect at that time. “Conversion Milestone” means either (a) the Company’s pretax earnings from ongoing operations are equal to or greater than $6 million in the aggregate in any four consecutive fiscal quarters as determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as applied by the Company on the date when the Series B Preferred was first issued and the closing trading price of the Company’s Common Stock is equal to or greater than $2.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares after the filing date hereof) for ten consecutive Trading Days (as defined below), or (b) the closing of a “firm commitment” underwritten public offering of Common Stock in which the public offering price per share of Common Stock is at least equal to 3 times the then-applicable conversion price for the Series B Preferred and which offering results in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $15 million.  “Trading Day” means a business day on which at least 50,000 shares of Common Stock are traded on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such security is listed or traded.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock financing included cash proceeds of $2,000,000 plus the conversion of $500,000 of the Company’s Senior Convertible Subordinated Debt that was issued on September 28, 2002.  The remaining Senior Convertible Subordinated Debt of $500,000 was repaid out of the proceeds of this financing and as of March 31, 2003 the Company was debt free.  Aggregate transaction costs of $90,000 representing legal, accounting and registration fees were incurred bringing the net proceeds, after repaying the Subordinated Debt and transaction costs, to $1,410,000.

 

There was no beneficial conversion feature on the Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants based on the fair value of the common stock of $0.34 per share as of the date of commitment. The warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, were valued at $159,176 using the Black-Scholes valuation method.

 

Convertible Subordinated Debt:

 

On September 30, 2002, the Company issued $1 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes to private investors.  These notes were convertible into equity, at the lenders’ option upon the closing of, and at the same terms as, the next equity financing in which the Company raises at least $1,000,000.  The loan had a term that extended until the earlier of July 1, 2004 or two business days following the closing of an equity financing described above and pays interest at a rate of 10% per year.  In addition, the lenders received an aggregate of 50,000 warrants granted at the closing of the loan and were eligible to receive an aggregate of an additional 20,000 warrants per month until such time as the loan was fully repaid or converted into equity.

 

The warrant is exercisable at $1.75 per share and is callable by the Company if the market price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $5.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.  The initial 50,000 warrants granted at closing were valued at $11,858 using the Black-Scholes valuation method creating an unamortized discount on the Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes.  The unamortized discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

On March 31, 2003, $500,000 of the Senior Subordinated Convertible Debt was converted to Series B Preferred Stock and the remaining $500,000 was repaid out of the proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock financing as described above.

 

The 25,000 warrants granted on the $500,000 of Senior Subordinated Convertible Debt, which were converted into Series B Preferred Stock, were cancelled effective March 31, 2003.  The remaining 25,000 warrants granted on the $500,000 of Senior Subordinated Debt that was repaid are still active and outstanding.  In addition, the Company granted 60,000 warrants on March 31, 2003 to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Debt that were repaid representing the warrants earned for the period October 1, 2002 through March 31, 2003.  The additional 60,000 warrants granted as of March 31, 2003 were

 

20



 

valued at $2,700 using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Since the Company had accrued $14,400 for the warrants as of December 31, 2002, an adjustment to income of $11,700 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

On April 4, 2003, NASDAQ SmallCap Market informed the Company that Nasdaq has accepted the Company’s evidence of compliance with the shareholders’ equity requirements necessary for continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  A previously scheduled oral hearing on the listing status was subsequently cancelled by Nasdaq’s Hearings Department.

 

The Company does not currently comply with the additional Nasdaq listing requirement of sustaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. Centiv must remedy this deficiency within a grace period set by Nasdaq, which expires on June 9, 2003. The Company plans to seek stockholder approval at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, scheduled for May 29, 2003, to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to grant the Board authority to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary, to achieve compliance with this requirement.
