increase in tax credits receivable in the amount of $84,485, the difference from the June 30, 2000 balance of $475,221 versus the September 30, 2000 balance of $559,706. This increase in tax credits receivable reflects the continuing commitment of the Company to its research and development efforts.
As of September 30, 2000, the Company had total liabilities of $3,060,246 as compared to $3,952,008 at September 30, 1999, reflecting a decrease in liabilities of $891,762. Total liabilities as of the end of June 30, 2000 (Fiscal 2000) were $4,121,223 which is $1,060,977 greater than the $3,060,246 balance as of September 30, 2000. The difference in total liabilities between September 30 1999 and June 30, 2000 reflected a marginal increase of $169,215. The decrease of $1,060,977 occurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 and was almost entirely reflected by the decrease in amounts due to officers in the amount of $848,997, from the balance as of June 30, 2000 in the amount of $2,093,954 to the September 30, 2000 balance of $1,244,957. This reduction was the result of conversions of debt obligations into common stock.
Reflecting the foregoing, the financial statements indicate that as at September 30, 2000, the Company had a working capital deficit (current assets minus current liabilities) of $411,726 and that as at September 30, 1999, the Company had a working capital deficit of $560,876. The difference in the working capital deficit from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000 thus shows a reduction of $149,150, most of which can be attributed to a reduction in notes payable.
The Company currently has only limited material assets and very limited liquidity. The success of the Company's tire recycling equipment manufacturing business, and its ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain adequate financing to commence profitable, commercial manufacturing and sales activities and the TCS-1 Plant's ability to meet anticipated performance specifications on a continuous, long term, commercial basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As noted above, the Company is presently in the very early stages of the business of manufacturing and selling TCS-1 Plants. The Company intends to begin manufacturing TCS Systems on commercial basis imminently, upon the eventual receipt of a firm purchase order. The Company had $390,848 of gross sales during Fiscal 1999, but, with the halting of operations in the rubber mat molding, the Company has not generated any gross sales during Fiscal 2000. Unless and until the Company successfully develops and commences TCS System manufacturing and sales operations on a full-scale commercial level, it will continue to generate no or only limited revenues from operations. Except for the foregoing, the Company has never engaged in any significant business activities.
The financial statements which are included in this Report reflect total general and administrative expenses of $430,957 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 versus $335,654 for the same three-month period ended September 30, 1999, reflecting an increase of $95,303. The primary reasons for this increase relate to increased personnel expenses related to the Company's efforts to properly establish and position itself for full commercial scale manufacturing and to issuances of shares in lieu of cash to consultants for assistance in establishing the marketing and manufacturing capability of TCS Systems.
Management believes that the amounts accrued to date in respect of the shares issued to compensate the executive officers and consultants reflect the fair value of the services rendered, and that the recipients of such shares accepted such shares at a discount from the then current market price. Management believes that the discount is warranted due to the fact that there are often restrictions on the transfer of said shares arising out of the absence of registration, and the uncertainty respecting the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
From inception (July 15, 1987) through March 31, 2000, the Company has incurred a cumulative net loss of $21,336,304. Approximately $1,057,356 of such
17
cumulative net loss was incurred, prior to the inception of the Company's present business plan, in connection with the Company's discontinued proposed health care business and was due primarily to the expending of costs associated with the unsuccessful attempt to establish such health care business. The Company never commenced its proposed health care operations and therefore, generated no revenues therefrom.
