Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this annual report.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT AND INFORMATION
The Company is including the following cautionary statement in this Form 10-QSB to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "may," and "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties are set forth below. The Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that management's expectation, beliefs or projections will result, be achieved, or be accomplished. In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that, in the view of the Company, could cause material adverse affects on the Company's financial condition and results of operations: the risks and uncertainties relating to our Internet operations, the impact and implementation of the sexually oriented business ordinances in the jurisdictions where our facilities operate, competitive factors, the timing of the openings of other clubs, the availability of acceptable financing to fund corporate expansion efforts, and the dependence on key personnel. The Company has no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of future events or circumstances.
GENERAL
Our Company presently conducts its business in two different areas of operation:
1. We own and operate upscale adult nightclubs serving primarily businessmen and professionals that offer live adult entertainment, restaurant and bar operations. We own and operate six adult nightclubs under the name "Rick's Cabaret" and "XTC" in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. We also own and operate an adult-themed club called "Encounters" that serves the couples or "swingers'" market in Houston. No sexual contact is permitted at any of our locations.
2. We have extensive Internet activities.
Our nightclub revenues are derived from the sale of liquor, beer, wine, food, merchandise, cover charges, membership fees, independent contractors' fees, commissions from vending and ATM machines, valet parking, and other products and service. Our Internet revenues are derived from subscriptions to adult content Internet Web sites, traffic/referral revenues, and commissions earned on the sale of products and services through Internet auction sites, and other activities. Our fiscal year end is September 30.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
The cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was 15.16% of total revenues compared to 21.28% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the reduction in costs of maintaining our Internet operations. The cost of goods sold for the club operation for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was 15.64% of the sales of alcoholic beverages and food compared to 14.75% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase was due primarily to the increase in food costs and our $1.25 a drink specials during Monday Night Football games. We continued our efforts to achieve reductions in cost of goods sold of the club operations through improved inventory management. We continue a program to improve margins from liquor and food sales and food service efficiency. The cost of sales from our Internet operation for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was 22.73%.
Payroll and related costs for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were $1,343,469 compared to $1,267,527 for the three months ended December 31, 2001.
The increase was a reflection of the additional personnel experienced by the Company. Management currently believes that its labor and management staff levels are at appropriate levels.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were $1,633,945 compared to $1,591,438 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase was due primarily to increase in legal and professional, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and other expenses.
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $97,820 compared to $91,722 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to the addition of new debts related to the purchase of treasury stocks.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $94,674 compared to a net income of $247,222 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in revenues in the Company's internet business and an increase in corporate expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2002, the Company had a working capital of $11,394 compared to a working capital deficit of $32,997 at September 30, 2002.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $313,339 compared to net cash provided of $428,508 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due to a decrease in net income.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were $129,677 compared to $119,928 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. There was no amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.
In the opinion of management, working capital is not a true indicator of the financial status. Typically, businesses in the industry carry current liabilities in excess of current assets because the business receives substantially immediate payment for sales, with nominal receivables, while inventories and other current liabilities normally carry longer payment terms. Vendors and purveyors often remain flexible with payment terms providing businesses with opportunities to adjust to short-term business down turns. The Company considers the primary indicators of financial status to be the long-term trend of revenue growth and mix of sales revenues, overall cash flow, profitability from operations and the level of long-term debt.
We have not established lines of credit or financing other than our existing debt. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms in the future, if at all, should the need arise.
Because of the large volume of cash we handle, stringent cash controls have been implemented. In the event the sexually oriented business industry is required in all states to convert the entertainers who perform at our locations, from
being independent contractors to employee status, we have prepared alternative plans that we believe will protect our profitability. We believe that the industry standard of treating the entertainers as independent contractors provides sufficient safe harbor protection to preclude payroll tax assessment for prior years.
The sexually oriented business industry is highly competitive with respect to price, service and location, as well as the professionalism of the entertainment. Although we believe that we are well-positioned to compete successfully in the future, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our high level of name recognition and prestige within the marketplace.
SEASONALITY
Our nightclub operations are significantly affected by seasonal factors. Historically, we have experienced reduced revenues from April through September with the strongest operating results occurring during October through March. Our experience to date indicates that there does not appear to be a seasonal fluctuation in our Internet activities.
GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company believes that its club operations can continue to grow organically and through careful entry into markets and demographic segments with high growth potential. Upon careful research, new clubs may be opened, or existing clubs acquired, in locations that are consistent with our growth and income targets and which appear receptive to the upscale club formula we have developed. We may form joint ventures or partnerships to reduce start-up and operating costs, with our Company contributing equity in the form of our brand name and management expertise. We may also develop new club concepts that are consistent with our management and marketing skills. We may also acquire real estate in connection with club operations, although some clubs may be in leased premises.
We also expect to continue to grow our Internet profit centers and plan to focus in the future on high-margin activities that leverage our marketing skills while requiring a low level of start-up expense and ongoing operating costs.
