NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements represent the consolidated
financial position of YP.Net, Inc. ("Company") as of March 31, 2000 and include
results of operations of the Company and Telco Billing, Inc. ("Telco"), its
wholly owned subsidiary, and cash flows for the three and six months ended March
31, 2000. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions for Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments to these unaudited financial statements necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim period presented have been made.
The results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2000 may not
necessarily be indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form
10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999, including specifically the
financial statements and notes to such financial statements contained therein.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies followed by the Company, and the methods of applying
those policies, which affect the determination of its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows are summarized below:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- ----------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of
three months or less. At times cash deposits may exceed government insured
limits.
Principles of Consolidation
- -----------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Telco Billing, Inc. All intercompany accounts in consolidation have
been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
- --------------------
The Company's revenue is generated by customer subscription of directory and
advertising services. Revenue is recognized monthly for services subscribed in
that specific month. The Company utilizes outside billing companies to transmit
billing data that is forwarded to Local Exchange Carriers ("LECs"). Monthly
subscription fees are included on the telephone bills of the LEC customers. The
Company recognizes revenue based on net billings accepted by the LECs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- ---------------------------------------
The carrying amounts for cash, investments in marketable securities, trade
accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes
payable, approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these
instruments. The Company has determined that the recorded amounts approximate
fair value.
5
Net Earnings Per Share
- -------------------------
Net earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company has adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per
Share.
Use of Estimates
- ------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
This may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
- -------------------------
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation ("SFAS 123"), established accounting and disclosure requirements
using a fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue
accounting for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.
3. Business Combination
On June 16, 1999, the Company exchanged 17,000,000 shares of common stock for
all of the common stock of Telco. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had not
yet commenced material operations. For financial accounting purposes, the
acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and was treated as a
recapitalization with Telco as the acquirer. The accompanying financial
statements present the historical cost bases of assets and liabilities and
results of operations of Telco. Subsequent to the merger, the Company ceased
its previous operations and abandoned assets related to those operations. The
remaining Company assets are recorded at their historical cost. The
recapitalization of Telco reflects the book value of the net assets of RIGL as
of the date of the merger as of June 16, 1999 of $1,722,563.
4. Intangible Asset
In connection with the Company's acquisition of Telco, the Company is required
to provide payment of licensing fees for the use of the Internet domain name or
Universal Resource Locator ("URL") Yellow-Page.Net. The URL is recorded at its
---------------
cost net of accumulated amortization. Management believes that the Company's
business is dependent on its ability to utilize this URL given the recognition
of the "yellow page" term. Management believes that the current revenue and
cash flow generated through the use of the URL Yellow-Page.Net substantiates the
---------------
net book value of the asset. The Company will periodically analyze the net book
value of this asset and determine if an impairment has incurred. The URL is
amortized on an accelerated basis over the twenty-year term of the licensing
agreement.
5. Notes Payable and Line of Credit
Notes payable are recorded and interest is accrued in accordance with the
individual terms of each note. Notes payable at March 31, 2000 were as follows:
6
Note 1: The Company entered into an agreement with Finova Capital Corporation
- -------
for a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit with interest payable at the prime
rate plus three percent. The amount available to be drawn under the facility is
limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. At March 31, 2000 the credit
facility had an outstanding balance of $1,691,056. Assets of the Company,
specifically accounts receivables, collateralize the credit facility. The
credit facility expires on August 31, 2003, and the institution may withdraw the
line with a notification within 90 days.
Note 2: The Company entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Joseph Van Sickle
- -------
during the acquisition of Telco under which Mr. Van Sickle lent $2,000,000 to
the Company. At March 31, 2000 this note payable had an outstanding balance of
$1,400,000. Mr. Van Sickle is a shareholder of the Company and owns
approximately one percent of the Company's outstanding stock. Mr. Van Sickle is
not a member of management and currently has no position on the Board of
Directors of the Company.
Note 3: The Company entered into an agreement with Matthew & Markson, Ltd., an
- -------
Antigua corporation ("M&M"), in conjunction with the acquisition of Telco for
the license of the URL Yellow-Page.Net. The Company agreed to pay M&M
---------------
$5,000,000 for the licensing agreement of the URL Yellow-Page.Net. At March
---------------
31, 2000 the M&M note payable had an outstanding balance of $2,000,000. M&M
owns approximately 18% of the Company's outstanding stock.
6. Common Stock
Transactions in the Company's common stock issued for the acquisition of assets,
products, or services are accounted for at 90% of fair value. Fair value is
determined based on the traded closing price of the Company's common stock on
the date of the transaction, or the fair value of the asset, product, or service
received, whichever is more readily determinable.
7. Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which among
other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be measured by
the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of financial
statements. The provision for income taxes for interim periods is calculated on
the basis of the expected effective rate for the full year.
7
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Except for historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding future events and our plans and expectations. Our actual
results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB or incorporated herein by reference.
See "Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements" below.
OVERVIEW
We provide Internet-based yellow page listing services on our
Yellow-Page.Net and yp.net Web sites. We acquired Telco Billing, Inc. in June
-- ------
1999, and as a result of this acquisition changed our primary business focus to
become an electronic yellow page listing service. Our Web sites serve as a
search engine for yellow page listings in the United States and Canada. We
charge our customers for a preferred listing of their businesses on searches
conducted by consumers through our Web sites.
With the acquisition of Telco, we discontinued our prior operations in the
multi-media software and medical billing and practice management areas. We
completed closing down our operations in these areas in the prior fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 1999. We anticipate continued operations in our Internet
yellow page listings business and in other Internet-based product areas. We
have experienced continued increases in competition in the electronic yellow
page market, and continue to seek joint venture and investment acquisition
opportunities to potentially lessen the effects of competition in the electronic
yellow page markets.
We utilized direct mailings as our primary marketing program. At October
1, 1999, we had 103,133 customers subscribing to our services. At December 31,
1999, we had 114,409 and at March 31, 2000, we had 129,457 customers. We
believe the increase in our customer base for these periods was primarily a
result of our marketing efforts. In March 2000, we implemented a customer
contact program to attempt to increase our customer satisfaction and decrease
customer attrition. We believe that this program has and will continue to
provide these results.
Expenditures related to professional and consulting fees were significant
in the three and six months periods ended March 31, 2000. Existing management
believes that these expenditures will not be as significant in future periods.
Management is actively pursuing rescission and cancellation of certain common
and preferred stock that was previously issued for services. This action may
adversely affect our future earnings due to costs of potential litigation that
may result from management pursuing recession. However, if we are successful in
canceling some or all of these shares, our total outstanding shares will
decrease which will positively affect our per share operating results in the
future.
On December 6, 1999, prior management entered into an engagement with
McGladry & Pullen, LLP ("M&P") to conduct the audit of our financial statements
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999. M&P estimated the cost to prepare
the fiscal year end audit to be from $75,000 to $150,000 with an estimated
completion date of January 28, 2000. We incurred and paid audit fees of
$150,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 in addition to the $150,000
incurred and paid in the previous three month period. In January 2000, M&P
informed management that the estimated cost to complete the audit would be an
additional $200,000. In February 2000 a new Board of Directors was appointed
and M&P was dismissed as our auditors. The Board of Directors appointed a new
independent auditor, King, Weber & Associates, P.C.
8
On December 15, 1999, prior management entered into a consulting agreement
with International Profits Associates, Inc. ("IPA"). IPA agreed to review our
business operations, polices and procedures, to advise on determining management
responsibilities and authorities, and to develop and implement a plan for
achieving potential investor awareness. IPA agreed to advise and train Mr.
William O'Neal on the duties and responsibilities of acting as President of
YP.Net. The agreement was entered into until such time that Mr. William O'Neal
was prepared to assume the position of President. We paid approximately $43,369
for these consulting services in the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
consulting agreement with IPA was terminated February 2, 2000.
Common stock has been issued to prior officers and consultants for services
rendered. The value of those shares was determined based on the trading value
of the stock at the dates on which the agreements were made for the services.
The expense for that consideration is stated at 90% of the trading value of the
shares to reflect a discount for the regulatory restrictions on trading of those
shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, 16,667 common shares were
issued to a former officer. Prior management also issued 845,049 common shares
to the Hudson Consulting Group, Inc. in the three months ended March 31, 2000.
We did not record any expenses associated with this issuance because we are
presently in litigation related to the consideration for the issuance. We are
seeking the rescission of these and other common shares issued to the Hudson
Consulting Group, Inc. by prior management.
YP.Net was originally incorporated in Nevada in 1996 as Renaissance Center,
Inc. Renaissance Center and Nuclear Corporation merged in 1997. Our articles
of incorporation were restated in July 1997 and our name was changed to
Renaissance International Group, Ltd. Our name was later changed to RIGL
Corporation in July 1998. With the acquisition of Telco and shift of the focus
of our business, our corporate name was again changed to YP.Net, Inc., effective
October 1, 1999. The new name was chosen to reflect our focus on our
Internet-based yellow page services.
The acquisition of Telco was treated as a reverse merger for financial
accounting purposes. As a result, Telco was deemed to be the acquiring entity.
For financial accounting purposes, Telco was considered to have engaged in a
recapitalization and acquired the net assets of RIGL as of June 1999. Financial
statements of Telco for the six months ended March 31, 1999 are not included in
this Form 10-QSB due to such statements not being available.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
With the acquisition of Telco, our business focus shifted to the Internet
yellow page services business and this business is currently the sole source of
our revenue. All operations conducted by RIGL prior to the acquisition of Telco
have been discontinued. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$3,826,077 and for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were $6,123,557. Until
other sources of revenue are developed, our total revenues will be directly
dependent upon the number of customers subscribing to our preferred listing
service.
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,653,116 and
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $2,728,601. Cost of sales is
comprised of dilution expenses, direct mailer marketing costs, allowances for
bad debt and our billing costs. Dilution expenses include customer credits and
any other receivable write-downs. Dilution expenses were approximately $645,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and approximately $1,102,000 for the
six months ended March 31, 2000. Direct mailer marketing costs were also a
significant component of our costs of sales. These costs were $400,238 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and $817,164 for the six months ended March
31, 2000.
9
Selling expenses, primarily the costs associated with general advertising
and market testing of other revenue sources, were approximately $1,000 and
$21,000 for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2000, respectively.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2000 were $777,242 and for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were $2,312,101.
These costs are primarily related to customer service staffing, which we believe
provides better service to our customers. For the three months ended March 31,
2000 our consulting expenses were $217,666 and $762,462 for the six months ended
March 31, 2000. These expenses were primarily a result of the issuance of
common stock by prior management as consideration under several consulting
contracts and is not expected to be recurring.
Interest expense net of interest income for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was $187,302 and for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $336,907.
Interest expense was a result of our debt outstanding. This debt outstanding
included debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the URL
Yellow-Page.Net and due to an increase in the amount outstanding under our
----
credit facility with Finova Capital Corporation.
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was $1,051,426 or
$.03 per diluted share. Net income for the six month period ended March 31,
2000 was $413,911 or $.01 per diluted share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2000
was $338,062. Revenue was generated solely from providing electronic yellow
page preferred listing advertising. Cash from operating activities for the six
month period ended March 31, 2000 was utilized by an increase in our accounts
receivable ($1,706,357) and in prepaid assets ($116,231) and by decreases in
accrued liabilities ($195,226) and deferred revenue ($81,190). Cash in the six
month period ended March 31, 2000 was generated by decreases in customer
acquisition costs ($147,588), other receivables ($77,182) and prepaid and other
assets ($31,638) and by an increase in our trade accounts payable ($16,469).
Cash used by investing activities was $156,594 for the six months ended March
31, 2000. We purchased additional computer equipment of approximately $68,000
and performed tenant leasehold improvements of approximately $88,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 2000.
Cash provided from financing activities was $346,983 for six months ended
March 31, 2000. For the six months ended March 31, 2000, we realized cash of
$897,648 from advances on our line of credit and utilized $550,665 to pay notes
payable. The $550,665 represents the total payments made to reduce the
principal balances of the outstanding notes.
We have an existing asset-based collateralized line of credit with Finova
Capital Corporation. As a result of certain technical defaults under the terms
of the loan agreement, which occurred under prior management, Finova exercised
its right to terminate the agreement. We have entered into letter agreements
whereby Finova has agreed to forbear the exercise any of its available remedies
through January 4, 2000. Our line of credit has been reduced to $1,400,000 for
the period of November 6, 2000 through December 5, 2000 and to $1,200,000
thereafter. Management is seeking other potential lenders that specialize in
financing businesses utilizing LEC billings. We do not anticipate these changes
to have an adverse affect on our ability to continue operating at our current
levels.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
There are numerous factors that affect our business and the results of its
operations. Sources of these factors include general economic and business
conditions, federal and state regulation of our business activities, the level
of demand for our services, the level and intensity of competition in the
electronic yellow page industry and the pricing pressures that may result, our
ability to develop new services based on new or evolving technology and the
market's acceptance of those new services, our ability to timely and effectively
manage periodic product transitions, the services, customer and geographic sales
mix of any particular period, and our ability to continue to improve our
infrastructure (including personnel and systems) to keep pace with the growth in
its overall business activities.
We are delinquent in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act"). Our most recent filing was the December 31, 1999 Form 10-QSB.
While trading of our stock has occurred during the periods before and after this
filing, sales under Rule 144 are not allowed until our filings are current. It
is management's intent to complete all past due filings and to cause all
required filings to be timely made in the future. Management also intends to
take actions to cause YP.Net's common stock to be relisted on the OTC Bulletin
Board as soon as possible. It is not possible to determine the effect, if any,
on the actions of current of former shareholders of bringing current the
required Exchange Act filings, and the financial statements and disclosures
contained therein.
We have attempted to keep the public informed through press releases and
Form 8-K filings while making a concerted effort to become current with our
filings. We are currently unable to determine the materiality of the affect of
the delinquent filings, if any, or the potential impact any such delinquencies
may have on our operations.
SPECIAL NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for historical information contained herein, this Form 10-QSB
contains express or implied forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors
created thereby. We may make written or oral forward-looking statements from
time to time in filings with the SEC, in press releases, quarterly conference
calls or otherwise. The words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends,"
"forecasts," "project," "plans," "estimates" and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with
respect to future events and financial performance or operations and speak only
as of the date the statements are made.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Our actual
results may differ materially from such statements. Factors that cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, as well as those discussed in our Form 10-KSB
which is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-QSB.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and,
therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in such
forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of such
forward-looking information should not be regarded, as a representation that the
future events, plans, or expectations contemplated will be achieved. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update, review, or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations or any
change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements
based. Our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-KSB, may be accessed at
the SEC's Web site, www.sec.gov.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The YP.Net is involved in various legal proceedings and claims as described
in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999. No material
developments have occurred in any of these proceedings. The costs associated
with these legal proceedings could be significant and could adversely affect the
results of our future operations. An unfavorable result in any of these
proceedings could also adversely affect our operations.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
In January prior management issued 845,049 common shares to the Hudson
Consulting Group. We are presently in litigation attempting to recover these
shares, in addition to other shares, and have not recorded this transaction
based upon the pending litigation. The shares were issued in reliance on the
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
In January 2000, a former officer, Peter DeKray, exercised options to
acquire 16,667 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The value of these
shares was recorded as $24,984. The shares were issued in reliance on the
exemption from registrations provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
