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

 

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.

 

Revenues: Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $32,988,000, an increase of $9,804,000 or 43% compared to the same period in 2001 of $23,184,000. A large portion of the increase in revenue was due to our customers’ contract periods that expired and we had previously made changes in our internal policies concerning contract terms with our customers. Specifically, in the past, we had permitted customers to extend their contract period which caused an extension of the time revenue was deferred. Our contract terms no longer permit students to extend contracts, therefore, we effectively recognized revenue previously deferred under the old policy. During the first six months of 2002, there were 226 attendees of advanced courses compared to 216 attendees of advanced courses for the same period in 2001. The levels of registrations and attendance in all other courses offered by us remained relatively constant. We expect to grow our operations and student base in the future both domestically and internationally. 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 theses markets to be profitable in the long-term.

 

Advertising and Sales Expense: Advertising and sales expense, of which advertising represents approximately 60% of the expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $7,519,025, an increase of $1,033,138 or 16% compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in advertising and sales expense for the quarter ending June 30, 2002 was $806,001 or 22% resulting in advertising and sales expense for the quarter of $4,444,758. The increase in advertising and sales expense is due to increased media buying, and new marketing programs entering the market in the second quarter of this year.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll related expenses, insurances office and facility expenses, and depreciation expenses.

 

General and Administrative expenses increased to $5,822,532, an increase of $1,927,594 or 49% over the comparable period in 2001 of $3,894,938. The increase in general and administrative expenses to $2,871,039 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $1,959,442 for the quarter ending June 30, 2001 was $911,957 or 47%. This increase is due primarily to increased personnel hired to handle the increase in the Company’s volume.

 

Seminar expenses increased disproportionately in comparison with the increase in sales for the first six months of 2002 to $12,326,600 an increase of $2,364,531 or 24% over the prior comparable period in 2001 and to $,6,178,397 for the quarter ending June 30, 2002 an increase of 12% over the comparable period in 2001. This was due primarily to a slight change in the product mix in addition to the revenue realized due to the expiration of contracts as described above.

 

Net Income for the six months ending June 30, 2002 was $6,134,982 as compared with net income of $2,879,544 for the six months ending June 30, 2001, an increase of $3,255,438 or 113% or $.78 per share as compared to $.38 per share for the prior period. Net Income for the three months ending June 30, 2002 was $2,763,941 as compared with net income of $920,927 for the three months ending June 30, 2001, an increase of $1,843,014 or 200% or $.35 per share as compared to $.12 per share for the prior period. The increase is directly attributable to increased sales in 2002 over the prior period, higher realization of deferred revenues, increased production from marketing programs resulting in a larger gross profit and a disproportionate increase in advertising expenses.

 

More than 20,000 new students register for one or more of the Company’s programs each month. The Company’s success can also be attributed to the fact that a large percentage of its gross annual revenue can be attributed to repeat business, a factor that also indicates students find its training to be effective.


Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s capital requirements consist primarily of working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. Historically, the Company has funded its working capital and capital expenditures using cash and cash equivalents on hand. Cash increased by $6,660,915 to $12,619,019, an increase of 112% over the previous comparable period in 2001 and an increase of $1,131,797 or 10% over the previous quarter. The Company reduced its loan on its headquarters building by $250,000 in the third quarter of 2001.

 

The Company’s cash provided by operating activities was $7.31 million and $2.82 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In the first half of 2002, cash flows from advanced training programs were positively impacted by the increased collection efforts by the sales associates accompanying the instructors and trainers at the training locations.

 

The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $1,514,256 and $178,863 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company’s investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were primarily attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.
