NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note A — Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period, including the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the VCampus Corporation (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Note B — Significant Accounting Policies

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44 (“FIN 44”), Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB 25, issued in March 2000, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price on the date of the grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, Amendment of SFAS 123 (“SFAS 148”).

 

Stock options and warrants granted to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with the SFAS No. 123 and EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount

 

5



 

by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company wrote off $28,028 in unamortized capitalized software and courseware development costs for two courses, as a result of an impairment analysis. The write-off has been included in amortization expense in the first quarter 2005 statement of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company currently derives its revenues from online tuition revenues and development and other revenues.

 

Online tuition revenues are generated primarily through three types of contracts: (i) corporate subscriptions, (ii) contracts with Select Partners and (iii) corporate usage. Under corporate subscriptions and Select Partner contracts, revenue is recognized ratably (on a straight-line basis) over the subscription period. For usage contracts, revenue is recognized upon enrollment in a course. Once a student has enrolled in a course, he cannot cancel delivery of a course or receive a refund. On rare occasions, the Company may extend the subscription length for a specific student’s course at no charge. Initial set-up fees related to all online tuition services are recognized ratably (on a straight-line basis) over the respective contract term.

 

Development and other revenues earned under courseware conversion contracts are recognized relative to the Company’s proportionate performance based on the ratio that total costs incurred to date bear to the total estimated costs of the contract. Provisions for losses on contracts are made in the period in which they are determined.

 

Prior to the third quarter of 2004, the Company had also been recognizing revenues for other services.  Revenues for other services were being recognized as the services were delivered.

 

The Company accounts for cash received from customers as prepayments for future services as deferred revenue. The Company recognizes revenue associated with those cash receipts in accordance with the above policies.

 

Note C — Equity Transactions

 

In March 2005, the Company completed a private placement of its common stock. Under the terms of this private placement, the Company raised $995,950 in gross proceeds through the issuance of 611,012 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.63 per share to 12 accredited investors. Under the terms of this financing, the Company also issued five-year warrants to purchase 763,765 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.63 per share to the same accredited investors.  In connection with this financing, the Company paid a finder’s fee of approximately $50,000, paid in 30,550 shares of common stock.  As this was a placement of common stock, the fair value of the warrants issued was accounted for as cost of capital.

 

In March 2005, an additional $104,320 and $200,000, respectively, of Series A and Series B senior secured convertible note principal was converted into 64,000 and 122,698, shares of common stock, respectively.  The Company expensed as additional interest a proportional amount of unamortized debt discount and offering costs associated with the debt converted totaling $265,116 during the first quarter of 2005. The total outstanding principal remaining as of March 31, 2005 amounted to $1,833,182. The total unamortized debt discount as of March 31, 2005 amounted to $1,233,785 resulting in a net balance on the notes of $599,397 of which $112,387 is classified as current.

 

Interest due for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 amounted to $45,231 and was paid through the issuance of an aggregate of 27,749 shares of common stock valued at $1.63 per share on January 1, 2005.

Note F — Management Plans to Address Operating Conditions

 

The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. The Company expects negative cash flow from operations to continue until the online revenue stream matures. In addition, the Company has experienced declining revenues in the current and prior periods, including the loss of a major customer in 2004 which represented 25% of revenues in 2004.

 

Management’s plans to address these conditions include sales to new customers through the Select Partner program which have partially replaced the sales related to the customer lost in 2004.  Management anticipates the increase in sales seen in the current and prior periods under the Select Partner program to continue in 2005.  Management has also instituted cost cutting measures and operates under an approved budget which is closely monitored.  Management is committed to maintaining operations at current levels to meet projected sales levels.

 

If the Company is not able to address its funding needs, it will be materially adversely affected. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, acceptance of and demand for its products and services including the Select Partner business model, customer demands for technology upgrades, the types of arrangements that the Company may enter into with customers and agents, and the extent to which the Company invests in new technology and research and development projects.  While the Company believes it has the ability to raise additional capital, the Company’s ability to raise capital beyond the $1,000,000 raised in the March 2005 private placement (see note C) is uncertain.  If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet working capital requirements, it may be unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq SmallCap market listing requirements.

 

Note G — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payments be recognized in the financial statements.  In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Company believes the pro forma disclosures in note B, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the consolidated financial statements under the sub-heading “Stock-Based Compensation” provide an appropriate short-term indicator of the level of expense that will be required to be recognized in accordance with SFAS 123(R) in future periods. However, the total expense recorded in future periods will depend on several variables, including the number of shared-based awards that vest and the fair value of those vested awards.  In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the compliance dates for Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement No. 123R). As a result of the Commission’s new rule, the Company will be required to implement Statement No. 123R at the beginning of its next fiscal year, instead of the third quarter of 2005.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including those set forth herein and in our other SEC filings, and including, in particular, the availability of sufficient capital to finance our business plan on terms satisfactory to management, risks relating to dependence on strategic partners and third party relationships, difficulties in maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, dependence on online distribution, security risks, government regulations and competition.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we entered into a Select Partnership Agreement with the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society. This agreement is in addition to Select Partner Agreements entered into in 2004 with Kiplinger Washington Editors, Inc., the Association for Financial Professionals, PCI Global, Inc., the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the National Contract Management Association, the American College of Forensic Examiners International and the New York Institute of Finance.  Under these agreements, we have developed and plan to develop and market online curricula for large targeted markets in financial management, certified treasury recertification, project management certification, continuing education in nursing, corporate and government contract management, forensic nursing specialty designation and financial research analysts’ requirements.  With the exception of courseware developed for Kiplinger, all of the curricula relate to either continuing education credits or preparation for a professional certification or licensure, which we anticipate will fuel significant demand for the courses.  Kiplinger’s courses relate to education of individuals in personal financial management. We believe that the demand for the Kiplinger courses, marketed to large employers, is being driven by the movement from defined benefit to defined contribution retirement plans and employers’ interest in educating their employees on sound retirement investing.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We consider the following accounting policies and estimates to be the most important to our financial position and results of operations, either because of the significance of the financial statement item or because they require the exercise of significant judgment and/or use of significant estimates. While we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Capitalized Software and Courseware Development Costs

 

We capitalize the cost of software used for internal operations and courseware once technological feasibility of the software and courseware has been demonstrated.  We capitalize costs incurred during the development process, including payroll costs for employees who are directly associated with the development process and services performed by consultants. Amortization of such costs is based on the greater of (1) the ratio of current gross revenues to the sum of current and anticipated gross revenues, or (2) the straight-line method over the remaining economic life of the vcampus or courseware, typically two or three years. It is possible that those anticipated gross revenues, the remaining economic life of the products, or both, may be changed as a result of future events.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we wrote off $28,028 in unamortized capitalized courseware development costs for two courses developed under two of our first Select Partner Agreements entered into in 2003.  Based on an impairment analysis, we have determined the courses (one of which was a pilot course) to have no future value. The write-off, which represents the carrying value of the courses, has been included in amortization expense in the first quarter of 2005 statement of operations.

 

Goodwill and other intangibles

 

Goodwill and other intangibles represent the unamortized excess of the cost of acquiring subsidiary companies over the fair values of such companies’ net tangible assets at the dates of acquisition.

 

We consider the Company to be a single reporting unit.  Accordingly, all of our goodwill is associated with the entire Company. We test the Company for impairment on an annual basis, coinciding with our fiscal year and on an interim basis if circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying amount.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Revenue Recognition

 

We currently derive our revenues from online tuition revenues and development and other revenues.

 

Online tuition revenues are generated primarily through three types of contracts: (i) corporate subscriptions, (ii) contracts with Select Partners and (iii) corporate usage. Under corporate subscriptions and Select Partner contracts, revenue is recognized ratably (on a straight-line basis) over the subscription period. For usage contracts, revenue is recognized upon enrollment in a course. Once a student has enrolled in a course, he cannot cancel delivery of a course or receive a refund. On rare occasions, we may extend the subscription length for a specific student’s course at no charge. Initial set-up fees related to all online tuition services are recognized ratably (on a straight-line basis) over the respective contract term.

 

Development and other revenues earned under courseware conversion contracts are recognized relative to our proportionate performance based on the ratio that total costs incurred to date bear to the total estimated costs of the contract. Provisions for losses on contracts are made in the period in which they are determined.

 

Prior to the third quarter of 2004, we had also been recognizing revenues for other services.  Revenues for other services were being recognized as the services were delivered.

 

We account for cash received from customers as prepayments for future services as deferred revenue. We recognize revenue associated with those cash receipts in accordance with the above policies.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

 

Summary

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we incurred a net loss to common stockholders of $1,902,673 (or $0.22 per share), an increase of 141.1% as compared to a net loss to common stockholders of $789,205 (or $0.15 per share), for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 includes approximately $447,000 of non-cash amortization of debt discount and deferred debt offering costs incurred in connection with our March 2004 private placement.  The increase in the net loss to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004 was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and the increase in cost of revenues, product development and operations expenses and depreciation and amortization and interest expense in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Online tuition revenues decreased 27.4% to $1,023,095 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to $1,409,503 for the same period in 2004.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from a legacy higher education customer, Park University ($609,000), which was partially offset by increases in revenues from corporate and government customers and Select Partners ($99,000, $33,000 and $91,000, respectively).

 

Online development and other revenues increased 96.8% to $105,487 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to $53,614 for the first quarter of 2004.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in course development and professional services orders from a large corporate and a large government customer.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues increased 25.9% to $459,468 in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $364,803 for the first quarter of 2004.  The increase was primarily due to the sale of a higher percentage of courses with relatively higher associated royalty costs, as well as the increase in costs associated with higher development and other revenues which increased in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 11.7% to $518,409 in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $586,902 for the first quarter of 2004.  Excluding the Park Development Fund contribution in the first quarter of 2004, which did not occur in the first quarter of 2005 following the termination of our contract with Park University in May 2004, sales and marketing expenses were $518,409 and $466,712 for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of 11.1%.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased out-of-pocket costs in sales and marketing associated with the implementation and support for our Select Partner program in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Product Development and Operations. Product development expenses increased 22.8% to $712,732 in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $580,251 for the first quarter of 2004. The increase was due to the fact that following the release of our new course management system in the first quarter of 2004, we did not capitalize any software development costs (due to their nature) in the first quarter of 2005, whereas in the first quarter of 2004, software development costs had been capitalized.

 

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 1.0% to $442,570 in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $446,177 for the first quarter of 2004.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 48.1% to $368,626 in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $248,934 for the first quarter of 2004.  The increase was primarily due to the release of our new Course Management System in the first quarter of 2004, as a result of which we began amortizing costs we had capitalized for its development, the release of new Select Partner courses and the resulting amortization of capitalized costs incurred for their development and the write off of capitalized costs incurred for the development of two courses written off during the first quarter of 2005 as a result of an impairment analysis.

 

Stock-based Compensation.  Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 consists of

 

10



 

the fair value of stock issued as customary payment to our non-employee directors for their participation in Board of Directors and Board Committee meetings and the fair market value of stock issued to consultants.

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 primarily consists of interest expense related to the remaining balance of the $925,000 of convertible promissory notes issued in December 2001.  Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 primarily consists of amortization of debt discount and deferred debt offering costs and accrual of interest payable related to the $3,649,625 (as reduced to $1,833,182 following mandatory and voluntary partial conversions in the twelve months prior to March 31, 2005) of convertible promissory notes issued in March 2004.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2005, we had $2,700,010 in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $67,506 from December 31, 2004, attributable primarily to cash raised in the March 2005 common stock financing, partially offset by our net loss for the first quarter 2005. Net cash utilized in operating activities was $611,895 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2004 was $179,630. The increase in cash utilized in operating activities was primarily due to our net loss for the first quarter of 2005 and more aggressive aging of accounts payable during the first quarter of 2004.

 

Net cash utilized in investing activities was $221,049 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and $452,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The use of cash for investing activities in both periods was primarily attributable to courseware development costs that were capitalized and the purchase of computer equipment as we continue to upgrade our technological infrastructure. The use of cash for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was also attributable to software development costs that were capitalized.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $900,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and $4,720,751 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  In March 2005, we completed a private placement of our common stock. Under the terms of this private placement, we raised $995,950 in gross proceeds through the issuance of 611,012 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.63 per share. Under the terms of this financing, we also issued five-year warrants to purchase 763,765 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.63 per share.

 

We have incurred significant losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $98.9 million as of March 31, 2005. We expect negative cash flow from operations to continue until the online revenue stream matures. Management’s plans to address these conditions include continued focus on increasing sales to new customers through the Select Partner program, which have partially replaced the sales related to the large legacy customer lost in 2004.  Management anticipates the increase in sales seen in the current and prior periods under the Select Partner program to continue through 2005.  Management has also instituted cost cutting measures and operates under an approved budget, which is closely monitored.  However, in the event revenues do not meet anticipated levels or we are unable to raise additional funding to meet working capital requirements, we may need to further significantly reduce operating expenses.

 

Unless sooner converted to common stock or restructured, we have an obligation to begin repaying principal and interest under $1,833,182 of convertible notes beginning in July 2005. Cash payments for principal under these notes are approximately $111,000 per quarter through the maturity date in April 2009. Initial cash payments for interest under these notes are approximately $32,000 per quarter beginning July 1, 2005 and will gradually be reduced as the principal is paid down.  We are currently negotiating to restructure this debt to allow us to keep our cash available to support our continued courseware development under the Select Partner program.

 

If we are not able to address our funding needs and repayment obligations, we will be materially adversely affected. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, acceptance of and demand for our products and services including the Select Partner business model, customer demands for technology upgrades, possible restructuring of our indebtedness, the types of arrangements that we may enter into with customers and agents, and the extent to which the we invest in new technology and research and development projects.  While we believe we have the ability to raise additional capital, our ability to raise capital in the near term is uncertain.  If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet working capital requirements, we may be unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq SmallCap Market listing requirements and we might not be able to achieve our business objectives.  VCampus believes it has available capital on hand and sources for additional debt and equity capital in amounts necessary to meet its cash needs into 2006.  However, such capital, if needed and available, may not have terms favorable to us or our current stockholders.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payments be recognized in the financial statements.  In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. We believe the pro forma disclosures note 2, “Summary

 

11



 

of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the consolidated financial statements under the sub-heading “Stock-Based Compensation” provide an appropriate short-term indicator of the level of expense that will be required to be recognized in accordance with SFAS 123(R) in future periods. However, the total expense recorded in future periods will depend on several variables, including the number of shared-based awards that vest and the fair value of those vested awards.  In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the compliance dates for Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (Statement No. 123R). As a result of the Commission’s new rule, we will be required to implement Statement No. 123R at the beginning of our next fiscal year, instead of the third quarter of 2005.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a variety of risks including market risk associated with interest rate movements. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to any investments we may hold at various times and also related to our outstanding convertible debt. When investing, our purchases consist of highly liquid investments with maturities at the date of purchase generally no greater than twelve months, thus, due to the short-term nature of such investments and our usual intention to hold these investments until maturity, the impact of interest rate changes would not have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, essentially all of our debt obligations are at fixed interest rates. Given the fixed rate nature of the debt, the impact of interest rate changes also would not have a material impact on our results of operations. If we receive payments in local currencies when delivering courses in overseas markets, we could experience losses in connection with currency translation. Such translation has not historically had a material impact on our financial results.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed only to provide assurance that they will meet their objectives.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, VCampus carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of VCampus’ management, including VCampus’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of VCampus’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.  Based upon that evaluation, the VCampus Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that VCampus’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.

 

(b) No change in VCampus’ internal controls over financial reporting occurred during VCampus’ last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, VCampus’ internal control over financial reporting.
