NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
NBG Radio Network, Inc. (the Company) was organized under the laws
of the state of Nevada on March 27, 1996, with the name of
Nostalgia Broadcasting Corporation. In January 1998, stockholders
approved the Company's name change to NBG Radio Network, Inc. The
Company creates, produces, distributes and is a sales
representative for national radio programs, and offers other
miscellaneous services to the radio industry. The Company offers
radio programs to the industry in exchange for commercial broadcast
time, which the Company sells to national advertisers.
In January 1999, NBG Radio Network, Inc. completed the acquisition
of M-Tek Technical Services, Inc. (see Note 3), which became NBG
Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company involved
in providing design, installation, and support for interactive
kiosks and card-based customer loyalty programs. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts
NBG Radio Network, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, NBG
Solutions, Inc., after elimination of inter-company transactions
and balances.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The financial
information included in this interim report has been prepared by
management without audit by independent public accountants who do
not express an opinion thereon. The Company's annual report will
contain audited financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals necessary for
fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods
included herein have been made. The results of operations for the
three months ended February 28, 2001, are not necessarily
indicative of results to be anticipated for the year ending
November 30, 2001. Certain amounts for 2000 have been restated to
conform with the 2001 presentation.
NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average
number of shares and common share equivalents have been adjusted to
give retroactive effect to the 3 for 1 stock split in July 1998.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------
The information set forth below relating to matters that are not
historical facts are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and involve risks and uncertainties
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
such forward looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, the following:
o A decline in national and regional advertising
o Preference by customers of other forms of advertising such as
newspapers and magazines, outdoor advertising, network radio
advertising, yellow page directories and point of sale advertising
o Loss of executive management personnel
o Ability to maintain and establish new relations with radio stations
o Ability to predict public taste with respect to entertainment programs
Three Months Ended February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------
Reference is made to Item 6, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan
of Operation" included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended November 30, 2000, as amended, on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The following discussion and analysis pertains to the
Company's results of operations for the three-month period ended February 28,
2001, compared to the results of operations for the three-month period ended
February 29, 2000, and to changes in the Company's financial condition from
November 30, 2000 to February 28, 2001.
REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2001 were
$2,919,985 compared to revenues of $1,929,983 for the same period in 1999,
representing an increase of $990,002, or 51%. This increase was principally due
to the Company's acquisition of sales representation agreements over the last
six months. Sales representation agreements are a great way for the Company to
complement its current programming lineup. The sales representation agreements
allow the Company to sell commercial broadcast inventory on behalf of an
independent third party program producer. In exchange for this service the
Company keeps a commission based upon the advertising time sold within the
program. Thus, the increase in inventory available for sale by the Company has
resulted in significant revenue growth. In addition to this, the Company's has
continued to grow its network of radio station affiliates airing their programs.
Not only has the Company been able to increase its listening audience, it also
has been successful in adding stations in the top media markets. The combination
of more listeners in top markets has enabled the Company to charge higher rates
for its commercial broadcast time. The increase in rates has led to an increase
in revenues.
DIRECT COSTS. Direct costs for the three months ended February 28, 2001
and 2000 were $2,104,854 and $1,147,645, respectively, representing an increase
of $957,209, or 83%. The
increase is due primarily to the increase in the number of programs and services
the Company currently provides. Since September of 2000 the Company has added 16
new programs or services to its lineup. These additions have lead to the
increase in the total cost of producing the Company's programs. Long-form
programs are more expensive to produce due to the increased cost of delivery of
the program via satellite and the extra telephone charges incurred for caller
driven programs. Short-form programs are distributed on CD via the mail, a much
less expensive form of distribution.
GROSS MARGIN. Gross margin for the three months ended February 28, 2001
was $815,131, an increase of $32,793, or 4%, compared to the same period 2000.
The increase in gross margin during the first quarter of 2000 was principally
due to the Company's significant increase in total revenues for the first three
months of 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, gross margin was 28% in 2001
and 41% 2000. The primary reason for the decrease in percentage is that the
Company acquired a majority of its new programs and services during the fourth
quarter of 2000. In the Company's industry, commercial advertising is typically
sold six to twelve months in advance. As a result, the Company will begin to
recognize revenues for these new programs in the second and third quarter of
2001. However, the Company has and will continue to have production costs
associated with these programs in the interim periods. Gross margin percentage
will be reduced until revenues are recognized for the remainder of 2001.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended February 28, 2001 was $1,166,021, representing an
increase of $412,230, or 55% over the same period in 2000. The increase is
partially due to an increase in wages and employee benefits of $258,364, or 70%,
from $367,244 for the three months ended February 29, 2000 to $625,608 for the
same period in 2001. This increase is mainly due to the increase in staff size
necessary to support the growth of the Company. Management also decided to
provide additional benefits to its employees, including life insurance,
disability insurance, and an increase in health and medical benefits. Travel and
entertainment increased 156% from $35,802 in 2000 to $91,680 in 2001, due to the
increased size of the Company's advertising and affiliate sales staff. The
increased travel lead to an increase in advertising sales and the number of
radio station affiliates in top media markets airing the Company's programs.
Management expects general and administrative expenses to continue growing as
the Company pursues acquisition of new programming and continues to develop
existing programs.
INCOME TAXES. During the three months ended February 28, 2001, the Company
paid $125,000 in estimated income taxes. Due to loss carry forwards there was no
provision for income taxes during the three months ended February 29, 2000.
NET LOSS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE. Net loss for the three months ended
February 28, 2001 was $475,890, or $.04 per share. Net income for the three
months ended February 29, 2000 was $28,547, or $.00 per share. The loss for 2001
was mainly due to the addition of many new programs that will not recognize any
revenue until later in 2001 but will continue to have production expenses in the
interim periods.
Earnings per share are based upon a weighted average of 12,955,341 and
12,160,293 shares outstanding on February 28, 2001 and February 29, 2000,
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Historically, the Company has financed its cash flow requirements through
cash flows generated from operations and financing activities. The Company's
working capital at February
28, 2001 was $4.86 million compared to $3.18 million at February 29, 2000. The
increase in working capital was primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable in connection with the growth in total revenues of the Company.
In February 2001 the Company completed a private placement of 547,000
units at $1.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and
one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, exercisable immediately. The
warrants are exercisable for $1.50 and expire on January 31, 2003. The Company
received proceeds of $547,000 from the private placement.
The Company has no long-term debt. Currently the Company has a line of
credit of up to $500,000 from Western Bank, which is secured by accounts
receivable, inventory, equipment, and intangibles. The line of credit is to be
paid back on July 15, 2001 at an interest rate of prime plus one-half percent.
As of February 28, 2001 the Company had advances of $400,000 on the line of
credit.
Management believes that its available cash together with operating
revenues will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital requirements
through November 30, 2001. The Company's management further believes it has
sufficient liquidity to implement its expansion and acquisition strategies.
