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

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, the notes related thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

 

None of the Company’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations.

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $30,724,824, a decrease of $2,263,274 or 6.9% compared to the same period in 2002 of $32,988,098.  Recognized revenue from deferred revenue was $13,697,115 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $11,236,727 for the comparable period in 2002.  Of these amounts, $3,097,539 and $5,037,256, respectively was recognized due to the expiration of the student’s contract period.  The decrease in revenue is due to the decrease in contract expirations for the period compared to the prior year, which more than offset the increase in the advanced courses attended by students in the period compared to the previous period.  During the first six months of 2003, there were 4,711 attendees of advanced courses compared to 3,512 attendees of advanced courses for the same period in 2002.  The levels of registrations and attendance in all other courses offered by us remained relatively constant.  We believe that the first half of 2003 is not a trend and expect revenue to return to the levels of growth that have been experienced in the previous periods.  This belief is illustrated in the approximately $14,000,000 increase in deferred revenue in 2003 from December 31, 2002 that will ultimately become revenue that was not present in the previous period.  This is further illustrated by the fact that $16,535,462 of our deferred revenue at June 30, 2003 will be realized into revenues as earned either through attendance or expiration by December 31, 2003. We expect to continue to grow our operations and student base in the future both domestically and internationally.  We expect to grow domestically through the development of our Teach Me To Trade segment using our same real estate business model.  We expect to grow internationally by continuing to establish our Whitney UK subsidiary and looking for opportunities to enter new international markets.  We will incur significant course and advertising expenses to establish these new markets, but expect to generate the student base to support these costs and allow these markets to be profitable in the long-term.

 

Direct Course Expenses

 

There are two components of costs included in direct course expenses.  The first component is variable and is consistent with the costs associated with revenue received.  These costs include instructor fees, facility costs, and travel expenses.  The second component relates to the costs associated with the initial free course that is provided.  The introductory course is offered to provide information to the student about our products and services.  There is no revenue associated with the initial course.  The revenue that is generated relates to future courses that are purchased and attended at a later date.  The costs relating to these initial courses then have a significant impact on the relationship between revenue and costs.  In periods in which there is a significant amount of new initial courses, as compared to advanced courses, the percentage relationship between direct course expenses and revenue increases.  In periods in which there are more advanced courses, as compared to initial courses, the percentage relationship between direct course expenses and revenue decreases.

 

Direct course expenses increased for the second quarter of 2003 to $17,784,259, an increase of $5,457,659 or 44% over the prior comparable period in 2002 of $12,326,600.  This increase is consistent with the increase in the amount of all types of courses that were held during the six months ended June 30, 2003 of 348 compared to 226 in the comparable prior period and is also due to the

 

1

 

increase in initial courses offered to 107 courses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 85 courses for the comparable prior period.

 

Advertising, Selling and General and Administrative Expenses and Sales Expenses

 

Advertising and sales expenses, of which advertising represented approximately 65% of these expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was $11,023,851, an increase of $3,504,826, or 46.6% compared to the same period in 2002 of $7,519,025.  The increase in advertising and sales expenses is due to an increase in media purchases due to the expansion in the number of events being help by the Teach Me To Trade division, and by the increased events in the United Kingdom.  Also advertising and sales expenses increased due to recognizing those expenses that gave rise to the deferred revenues this period while conversely, we were not able to recognize those revenues which were deferred to future periods under generally accepted accounting principles.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll related expenses, insurance, office and facility expenses, and depreciation expense.  General and administrative expenses increased to $ 8,982,620, an increase of $ 3,160,088, or 54.3% over the comparable period in 2002 of $5,822,532.  This increase is due primarily to our hiring 60 new employees, net of terminations, to handle the increase in our volume. Additionally, management bonuses increased in 2003, approximating $650,000.

 

Net Income

 

Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $4,960,643 as compared with a net income of $6,134,982 for the six months ending June 30, 2002, a decrease of $11,095,625 or 181% or a per share net decrease of $1.38 per share as compared to net income of $.77 per share for the prior period.  The decrease is directly attributable to the increase in deferred revenues in 2003 over the prior period, the decrease in the amount of revenue recognized due to expirations, increased general and administrative expenses and proportionate increase in advertising expenses.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our capital requirements consist primarily of working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.  Historically, we have funded its working capital and capital expenditures using cash and cash equivalents on hand. Cash increased by $1,733,766 to $13,814,319 at June 30, 2003, compared to an increase of $5,729,744 in the previous comparable period in 2002.  The decrease in the increase in cash is primarily attributed to the purchase of intangible assets ($450,000), equity investments ($2,150,000), and working capital advances to third parties (approximately $685,000).

 

Our cash provided by operating activities was $6.12 million and $7.31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is directly attributable to the decrease in net income which was offset by the increase in deferred revenues, deferred expenses, and deferred taxes.

 

Our cash used in investing activities was $3,558,824 and $1,514,256 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company’s investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were primarily attributable to the purchase of an equity interest in a building in 2003 for $2,000,000, and the purchase of property and equipment and intangibles of  $609,452 in 2003 compared to $1,322,839 in 2002.

 

The following reflects our commitments for capital expenditures, debt and other commitments.

(1) Includes the debt associated with our purchase of two related companies, Equity Corp. Holdings, Inc. and Whitney Leadership Group, Inc.  the purchase price of Whitney Leadership was $1,200,000 paid to our Chairman and his wife, payable $300,000 in cash at closing and a $900,000 promissory note payable in six installments payable in February and August beginning in 2004 through 2006 bearing an interest rate of 7%.  The purchase price of Equity Corp. Holdings was $250,000 paid to our Vice President – Marketing, payable $62,500 in cash at closing, 62,500 shares of common stock, and a promissory note of $62,500 due in February 2004 bearing an interest rate of 7%.  The Equity Corp. Holdings transaction additionally provides for the assumption of a $4,750,000 promissory note due to our Chairman due $1,000,000 in July 2003 and 2004 and ten installments of $275,000 payable in January and July beginning in 2005 through 2009 at an interest rate of 7%.  We expect to be able to satisfy these commitments by using cash on hand and cash provided by operations.  We do not expect these transactions to have a significant impact on our financial results due to the fact that the products were purchased form these entities at cost and these entities have insignificant operations with nonaffiliates.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, Whitney Information Network, Inc.'s management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter.
