Results of Operations

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to June 30, 2003

 

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $77,115,209, an increase of $46,390,385, or 151% compared to the same period in 2003 of $30,724,824.  Of these amounts, $44,448,678 and $13,112,976 respectively were earned from the delivery of Advanced Training courses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. And of these amounts $21,675,855 and $11,853,214 respectively were earned from the delivery of 3-Day Basic Training courses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.  The balance of the revenue was earned from the sale of products, conferences and other related income.  This increase in course revenues was directly attributable to an increase in the number of attendees at our training courses. The following table will illustrate the number of events and the number of attendees for the comparative periods:

The increase in revenue over the comparable period in 2003 is a trend that is expected to continue throughout the year. The increase in the number of events and in the number of attendees is expected to continue as the Teach Me to Trade, Star Trader, and Cash Flow Generator brands continue to be incorporated into the normal operations of the company. As the marketing, logistics, and speaker training functions of these brands are more seasoned, they are expected to produce a continued increase in the number of events, both domestically and internationally. In addition, the trend of increased attendance at events for all brands is expected to continue through out the year.

 

Direct Course Expenses

 

Direct course expenses relate to our basic and advanced training and consist of instructor fees, facility costs, travel team coordinators and staff, and travel expenses. The only expenses that are deferred until the related revenue is realized are the related commissions paid.

 

Direct course expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $24,701,894, an increase of $14,186,934 or 135% over the prior comparable period in 2003 of $10,514,960. This increase in expenses is consistent with the increase in the amount of basic and advanced training courses that were held during the periods in question. Approximately 52% of these expenses are attributable to the delivery of 3-Day basic training courses, with the balance (48%) being attributed to the delivery of advanced training courses. Direct course expenses improved as a percentage of revenue to 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 34.2% for the comparable period in 2003. This improvement in the ratio of expenses to revenue is expected to continue as the number of students attending advanced training courses increases.

 

Advertising and Sales Expense

 

Advertising and sales expenses consist of two components. The first component is advertising. Approximately 80% of all advertising is through TV, with the balance consisting of direct mail, newspaper and radio. Advertising expenses consist of approximately 62% of advertising and sales expense.  The second component is sales expense and is the cost associated with the initial free preview trainings and the acquisition costs of acquiring new students. These costs consist of presenter’s sales commissions, facility costs, assistants and coordinators expenses and travel expenses.

 

Advertising and sales expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $42,242,427, an increase of $23,949,277, or 131%, compared to the same period in 2003 of $18,293,150. This increase is disproportionate with the increase in the number of new events during held this period. The increase is related to the number of new students attending free preview trainings which increased by 84% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Although many improvements have been made to improve the quality of media buys and better media scheduling, these efficiencies have been more than offset by higher acquisition costs per student for the brands recently acquired by the Company. Advertising and sales expenses have also increased as the Company has integrated these newer brands into its marketing model.  As the Company integrates these newer brands into its marketing model, the acquisition cost per student for these brands is expected to improve. However, the continued increase in the number of new students purchasing training courses is expected to continue throughout the year as additional marketing resources are added and as the efficiency of the marketing programs is improved.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, benefits, and related expenses, insurance, office and facility expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense.

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $15,095,472, an increase of $6,089,868, or 67.6% over the comparable period in 2003 of $9,005,604. Payroll and payroll benefits account for approximately 69% of total general and administrative expenses. During the first half of 2004, the company hired an additional 100 employees, net of terminations. The departments, which showed increases in employment, were the field representatives and student services. In addition, managers and directors were hired in various departments to better facilitate speaker training, course delivery, human resources, and business development. Much of the hiring done in the past year has been in anticipation of significant increases in the demand for all administrative services. Accordingly, general and administrative expenses have been consistently rising. However, some economies of scale and general efficiencies have been realized, as demonstrated by the ratios of general and administrative expenses to revenues. The first six months of 2003, they were 29.3% of revenues. In 2004 they improved to 19.5% of revenue. As revenues continue to increase, these expenses will also increase, although at a lesser rate of growth.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $4,160,433, as compared to a net loss of $4,960,643 for the six months ending June 30, 2003, a decrease of $800,210. Net loss per share was ($.49) as compared to a net loss per share in 2003 for the same period of ($.61). This decrease is directly attributable to an increase in the delivery of 3-Day basic training courses and advanced courses, realization of more efficient advertising, and improvements in reducing the growth of general and administrative costs. Deferred revenue, which is the net backlog of training courses purchased and not yet delivered, increased by $11,264,084 during the first six months of 2004, compared to an increase of $12,688,777 for the same comparable period in 2003. This occurred while sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by $46,390,385 over the same period in 2003. This reflects the increase in the percentage of courses delivered as a percentage of sales, and the amount of sales increase. The number of courses delivered for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was twice the amount delivered for the comparable period in 2003. This reduction in net loss is a trend that is expected to continue. The backlog of course trainings purchased and undelivered is expected to grow, the amount of courses deliveries will continue to grow, and no significant change in the ratio of expense is anticipated.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s capital requirements consist primarily of working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.  Historically, we have funded our working capital and capital expenditures using cash and cash equivalents on hand.  Cash decreased by $105,274 to $14,916,211, compared to an increase of $1,733,766 in the previous comparable period in 2003.  This decrease is directly attributable to the increase in fixed asset purchases and the reduction of long-term debt.

 

The Company’s cash provided by operating activities was $7.55 million and $6.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  If the Company continues to deliver its training courses, cash flows should continue to increase.

The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $2,989,579 and $3,558,824 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Cash used to purchase property and equipment was $3,816,267 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $159,452 for the same period in 2003. In addition, in 2004, cash was provided from the sale of land ($826,888) and in 2003 cash was loaned to affiliates ($338,993). The Company will continue to invest in property and equipment in future periods for facility expansion, computer and software upgrades, and geographic expansion.  The Company intends to build up its cash reserves to fund its operations and, to the extent it has excess cash available, the Company may also invest in other real estate projects.  And, the Company will continue to pursue other acquisition opportunities.  For these reasons, cash used in investing activities is anticipated to increase as a percentage of cash flows in future periods.

 

The Company’s cash used in financing activities was $4,775,607 and $827,793 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  These activities consist primarily of reduction of long-term debt and related party note payable.  Debt was reduced $4,801,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and $526,208 for the same period in 2003. As the Company continues to generate cash flow from operations, it may consider some additional reduction of long-term debt as a financing option. However, cash used in investing activities is anticipated to decrease as a percentage of cash flows in future periods.

 

At June 30, 2004 we had unused letters of credit to secure merchant accounts and certain state bonding requirements aggregating $1,500,000, which are supported by certificates of deposit.  These letters of credit expire in January 2005 and October 2005 and the certificates of deposit carry an interest rate of 2.9% and 3.68%, respectively.

 

Historically, the Company has been able to fund all of its operations from existing working capital.  The Company intends to continue to use working capital for operating purposes.  From time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of business products or technologies that complement our business.  To the extent that resources are insufficient to fund future activities, we may need to raise additional funds.  However, there can be no assurance that additional funding, if needed, will be available.  If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our business, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We believe our cash resources are more then sufficient to fund our operations and growth plans for the next 12 months.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such is defined in Rules 13a-13(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of June 30, 2004, our disclosures and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to our Company (including our controlled subsidiaries) required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.

 

During the period covered by this report, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods.  The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission March 30, 2004, which includes audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004, may not be indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft, Share-Based Payment, and Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95. The Exposure Draft covers the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise pays for employee services with share-based payments including employee stock options.

 

Under the Exposure Draft, all share-based payments would be treated as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related costs generally measured as the fair value at the date of grant in the income statement.

 

If adopted as proposed, we would record as an expense the fair value of the options we have issued. Based on the number of options we have issued, this proposed statement would substantially increase our net losses and accumulated deficit by approximately $881,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  If adopted as proposed, this pronouncement would be effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2005.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2003 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation.

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plans.  Had compensation cost for the Company’s option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and basic income (loss) per common share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
