ADVANT-E CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2005

 

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advant-e Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Edict Systems, Inc. (the “Company”). Inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

The statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to financial statements required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2005. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes thereto included in Advant-e Corporation’s 2004 Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Note 2: Short-term investments

 

Short-term investments consist entirely of investments designated as available-for-sale. They include marketable equity, debt and U.S. government securities, and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The change in the net unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale securities, which is included in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders’ equity, was $981 during both the three month period and the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and was comprised of gross unrealized gains of $7,769 and gross unrealized losses of $6,188 less applicable deferred income taxes of $600. At September 30, 2005 the unrealized losses on investments have been determined by management to be temporary.

 

During both the three-month and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $16,006.

 

Note 3: Software Development Costs

 

Software development costs at September 30, 2005 and the changes during the nine months then ended are summarized as follows:

 

     Cost

  

Accumulated

Amortization


   Net

 

Balance, December 31, 2004

   $ 1,216,858    918,049    298,809  

Additions

     64,519    —      64,519  

Amortization

Balance, September 30, 2005

   $ 1,281,377    1,103,329    178,048  
    

  
  

 

The unamortized costs relate exclusively to internal use software and costs associated with web site development and related enhancements.

 

The ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future revenues, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies. Impairment of asset value is considered whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

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

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expectations of future operations. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within the Company’s control. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions generally and in the industries in which the Company may participate, competition within the chosen

 

7


industry, including competition from much larger competitors, technological advances, and the failure to successfully develop business relationships. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. This item should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Financial Statements” and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

 

Products and services

 

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Edict Systems, Inc., is a provider of business-to-business (“B2B”) electronic commerce (“e-commerce”) products and services, offering Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) based and proprietary solutions for businesses of all sizes. The Company develops, markets, and supports B2B e-commerce software products and provides Internet-based communication and data processing services that enable businesses to process transactions electronically.

 

The Company’s software products enable businesses to integrate e-commerce data into their businesses and enable smaller companies to process electronic transactions.

 

The Company provides consultative services for its customers, generally small and medium sized suppliers of larger companies, where the Company interfaces between its customers and the buyers to facilitate the EDI connectivity required for document processing.

 

The following comprise the Company’s four principal business products/services:

 

  Web-based Electronic Commerce/Electronic Data Interchange (web-EDI) document processing systems (WebEDI.com) and branded vertical industry sites such as GroceryEC.com, RetailEC.com, CPGSupplier.com, MfgEC.com, and LogisticsEC.com.

 

  Internet-based business-to-business Electronic Commerce Network Services— EnterpriseEC®

 

  Electronic Commerce and Bar Coding Software—Formula_One® EDI software and Bar Code Label Modules.

 

  Value-Added Applications—Internet-based solutions that enhance the value of electronic commerce capabilities

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

 

Revenue recognition for Web-EDI and EnterpriseEC subscription fees

 

The Company recognizes monthly subscription fees of $25 per month per customer ($45 if the Customer does not pay by credit card) and $5 per month per trading partner the customer connects to (up to 5 partners) upon the completion of one month of services. These fees are non-refundable. The Company recognizes transaction fees (document processing fees) upon completion of the processed transactions; these transactions are invoiced or charged to a customer’s credit card once per month at the end of a monthly period. These fees are non-refundable and are only billed after services are provided.

 

The Company recognizes as revenues one-time Account Activation Fees ($100 per new customer), Trading Partner Setup Fees ($50 per partner for web-EDI) and Interconnect Setup Fees ($50 per interconnect) after the Company performs consultative work required in order to establish the electronic trading partnership between the customer and their desired trading partner. The Company’s EDI administration, technical support and systems maintenance personnel provide these consultative services that enable the Company’s customers (suppliers) and their trading partners (usually buying organizations of large companies or “hubs”) to conduct EDI transactions as requested by the hub by interfacing with the hub on behalf of the Company’s customers. Because each hub has established processes in place to migrate a non-EDI supplier to an EDI-enabled supplier, and because these procedures vary among the hubs, the Company acts as a liaison between its customers and the hub to establish this EDI connection. Since most of the Company’s customers are small to medium-sized companies, they recognize that the Company has the resources and expertise to establish this connection for them. This trading partner connection and relationship, once established, is portable to other EDI service providers if the customer chooses to do so.

 

Time periods of these web-EDI agreements can be cancelled at any time by customers with 30-days prior written notice. EnterpriseEC agreements can be cancelled at any time during the one-year contract period with 90-days prior written notice and in subsequent years, when the agreement extends automatically on a month-to-month basis, with 30-days prior written notice.

 

The Company periodically receives payments from customers in advance for the Company’s development of Web-EDI and EnterpriseEC applications designed to meet specific customer specifications for processing Internet transactions. The Company expects to re-sell some of these applications, with minor modifications, to other customers. Once the developed application become operational the Company recognizes these advance payments as revenue over the twelve-month contract period.

 

8


Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes software development costs and amortizes those costs over a three-year estimated economic life of the software applications. Internet technology can change and does change rapidly. As a result, any or all of the Company’s products could have an economic life of less than (or more than) three years. In addition, the products could become economically obsolete if the Company cannot sell the products in the marketplace at a margin that is adequate to produce positive cash flow. The economic lives of the capitalized products, expected cash flow, and profitability of our products are reviewed quarterly. Capitalized software costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

Revenue for the third quarter of 2005 of $1,143,058 exceeded revenue for the third quarter of 2004 of $920,038 by $223,020, or 24%. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $3,258,931 exceeded revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $2,610,655 by $648,276, or 25%. On a quarter-to-quarter basis, revenue in the third quarter of 2005 increased by $66,673, or 6%, over revenue in the second quarter of 2005.

 

Our Web-EDI service for the grocery industry continues to provide the largest source of revenue for the Company—approximately 77% of total revenue. The Company is a leading provider of web-based B2B e-commerce in the grocery industry with its GroceryEC service. Revenue from other industries, however, including retail and automotive, continue to grow at accelerated rates, reflecting the Company’s continuing and successful attempts to increase market share for Web-EDI services in industries other than grocery. Revenues from the sale of software and software licenses continue to decline as the Company focuses on Internet products and services, and will completely phase out by the end of 2005.

 

Gross Margin

 

The Company’s gross margin, as a percent of revenue, was relatively constant at 67% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to 66% in the third quarter of 2004 and 65% in the first nine months of both 2004 and 2005.

 

Expenses

 

Marketing, general and administrative expenses amounted to 43% of revenue in the third quarter of 2005 compared to 44% in the third quarter of 2004, and 45% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 43% in the first nine months of 2004. Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by $85,917 in the third quarter and $348,960 in the first nine months as a result of the Company’s continuing efforts to strengthen its sales and marketing programs designed to increase market penetration in the grocery industry and to diversify more rapidly into industries other than the grocery industry; and for salary increases for key personnel.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are recorded at 40% in 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflecting statutory rates for Federal and state income taxes.

 

Net income

 

Net income in the third quarter of 2005 of $164,945 increased by $44,317, or 37%, over net income reported in the third quarter of 2004 and by 37% over net income reported in the second quarter of this year, indicating that the Company’s revenue increases are continuing to increase proportionally faster than the additional incremental costs of its sales and marketing efforts and organizational improvements including additional personnel costs.

Web EDI, including GroceryEC, is the Company’s largest and primary source of revenue and continues to grow. Sales of EnterpriseEC continued to grow and through the first nine months of 2005 were up 84% compared to the first nine months of 2004. Based on our ongoing review of the marketplace and our marketing efforts we expect cash flow and revenue from EnterpriseEC services to continue.

 

The unamortized costs relate exclusively to internal use software and costs associated with web site development and related enhancements.

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures

 

Attached as exhibits to the Form 10-QSB are certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). These “Controls and Procedures” section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

 

The CEO and the CFO have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-QSB. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based upon the controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective during the period covered by the Company’s report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005.

 

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting, while adequate and effective, will not necessarily prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.
