Introduction
The financial results discussed herein include the consolidated operations of
OneSource Technologies, Inc, (hereinafter "OneSource" and/or "the Company") for
the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002. OneSource is engaged in three
closely related and complimentary lines of technology and business equipment
support activities; 1) equipment maintenance services, ("Maintenance") 2)
equipment installation services, ("Installation") and 3) value added equipment
supply sales, ("Supplies"). OneSource is a leader in the technology equipment
maintenance and service industry and is the inventor of the unique OneSource
Flat-Rate Blanket Maintenance System(. This program provides customers with a
Single Source for all general office, computer and peripheral and industry
specific equipment technology maintenance, installation and supplies products.
Summary of Operations
Operating results are improved in the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared
to the same period in fiscal 2002. The following table summarizes the
comparative results for the two periods:
Summary of Operations 2003 2002
Revenues $ 776,757 $ 678,990
Cost of Revenue $ 480,768 $ 490,196
Gross Margin $ 295,989 $ 188,794
Selling General and Administrative
Costs $ 273,541 $ 262,058
Operating Loss before Extraordinary Gain $ 22,448 $ (73,264)
Other Income (Expense) $ (34,797) $ (37,202)
Income Tax Benefit $ -- $ (20,445)
Net Profit (Loss) $ (12,349) $(110,466)
Operations for the first three months of 2003 show significantly improved
results with an eighty nine (89%) decrease in the 2003 Net Loss compared to
March 31, 2002.
While consolidated revenues increased by about fourteen percent (14%) in 2003
compared to 2002, consolidated cost of revenues decreased two percent (2%)
resulting in higher consolidated gross profit by fifty six (56%) for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. This reflects
the continuing efforts to control parts costs in its maintenance services
operations. Changes implemented early in the second quarter of 2002 have shown
continuing improvements to the end of the first quarter 2003 as gross margins of
the maintenance division in the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased
significantly to 40% versus 23% for the first three months of 2002. Management
will continue to focus on this aspect of the service operations in order to
continue to bring down parts usage rates.
Another factor contributing to the improved overall operating results is the
five percent (5%) increase in Selling, General and Administrative costs in the
three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 2002. While the Company continues
to absorb high General and Administrative costs as a percent of revenues and
management continues to focus on implementing measures to bring the aggregate
portion of G&A costs more in line with the Company's business model.
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased slightly in the three months ended March 31,
2003 compared to the same period in 2002 as a result of increased revenues in
the both the Maintenance and Supply divisions. Supply division revenues rose
seventeen (17%) compared to 2002, while the Maintenance division rose thirteen
(13%). The following tabulation shows the numbers:
Revenues 2003 2002
Maintenance $ 537,179 $ 474,403
Supplies $ 239,578 $ 204,587
Total $ 776,757 $ 678,990
The Company's restructuring and realignment campaign in the field services that
was implemented in the final quarter of 2001 continue to show very positive
trends as of the end of the first quarter of 2003. As part of this restructuring
the General Manager of the supply division assumed oversight responsibility for
all field service operations in the first quarter of 2002 in addition to his GM
duties and accordingly was pulled away a great deal in fulfilling his new
responsibilities. In the first quarter 2003, the GM was assigned to the Director
of New Business position. With this change, the Supply division revenues have
returned to their historical higher levels.
The thirteen percent (13%) increase in maintenance revenues for the first three
months of 2003 is the result of added service commitments from existing
customers and reflects the positive benefits of changes the Company has
implemented that have improved maintenance customer satisfaction levels to the
highest in the Company's history. Installation services were suspended in early
fiscal 2001 so management could focus the Company's limited resources on
improving and strengthening the Company's core maintenance and supplies division
operations. To the degree installation opportunities arise in line with present
geographic and staffing resources the Company will pursue and engage them but in
the near-term management is concentrating on the maintenance and supplies
divisions. Now that operational efficiencies and customer satisfaction levels
are substantively improved management is focusing greater attention growing
revenues of these divisions via both current account extensions as well as
through out-bound sales and marketing efforts.
Supply division revenues increased seventeen percent (17%) in the three months
ended Mach 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. In addition to the
position change of the division's GM noted above, supply division revenues were
also affected by the division's web-based distribution delivery system, as well
as the acquisition of the business of a large company, which also entered into a
service agreement with the company's maintenance division. This new account
continues to result in profitable margins and contributes significant new volume
and positive cash flow.
Operating Costs and Gross Margins
Consolidated operating margins for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were
higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. Gross margins for the
three months ended March 31, 2003, improved significantly to thirty eight (38%)
versus twenty-eight percent (28%). Improved inventory control and field service
management attribute to the improved margins. These improvements focus on
strengthening management oversight and information system and process
infrastructures to assure better inventory and call routing and dispatch control
in the maintenance division.
Selling, General and Administrative Costs
This category of costs in the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased almost
$13 thousand from the levels of the prior year, a five percent (5%) incline.
While up nominally from the prior year these costs at 34% of gross revenues in
the first quarter are slightly higher than the Company's business model of about
30% contemplates.
Even though already significant reductions have been achieved in each expense
category, management believes there are additional limited opportunities for
further cuts. Management is focused however on again growing revenues while
holding the present level of overhead costs to bring the proportionate
percentage in line with expected results. The following table schedules the
significant general administrative cost categories:
General and Administrative 2003 2002
Salaries Wages and Benefits $ 92,519 $ 134,510
Facilities $ 38,956 $ 52,058
Legal and Professional $ 99,724 $ 21,554
Telecommunication Costs $ 17,155 $ 16,121
Travel and Entertainment $ 7,940 $ 604
Other $ 12,016 $ 30,606
Total $ 268,310 $ 255,453
One half of the cost categories are lower in the three months ended March 31,
2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The two most significant areas of
savings were overhead salaries and facility costs. While staff reductions were
made in the first quarter of 2003, the new Senior Management Consulting team
accounts for the higher Legal & Professional costs. Company staff has been
reduced to 27 employees in 2003 from 33 at the end of 2002 with most of the
reductions being made in the general overhead category. All other general
administrative costs are down reflecting improvements and cuts that management
has installed during fiscal 2002 to curtail and reduce operating costs, with the
exception of a 6% increase in telecommunications due to additional cell phone
for additional service technicians, and a substantial increase in Travel &
Entertainment. The travel costs rose due to the new revenue generation efforts
of the new Senior management team.
Sales and Marketing 2003 2002
Salaries Commissions and Benefits $ 1,284 $ 3,500
Advertising and Promotion $ 3,581 $ 2,488
Travel and Entertainment $ 366 $ 616
Total $ 5,231 $ 6,604
The small decline in selling personnel costs is largely the result of the
Company's turnaround restructuring activities. The paramount objective of that
effort was to streamline overall operations and redirect corporate resources
toward improving the Company's core maintenance and supplies division operating
infrastructures and management. Consequently sales and marketing became a
casualty of this redirected focus and accordingly have taken a back seat while
the realignment was being implemented. Now that operational and management
changes are largely in place and the attendant infrastructure improved,
management is concentrating on implementing and significantly supporting the
sales and marketing plans that have been heretofore on hold pending completion
of the strategic redirect ional thrust of the Company.
Loss from Continuing Operations
While the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations ($12 thousand)
before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003 versus a loss for the
same period of $110 thousand in 2002. This dramatic turn around is due to a)
some improvement in division operating rates, and b) the increase in revenues.
Interest and Other Income (Expense)
Other Income (Expense) 2003 2002
Interest $ (34,879) $ (35,109)
Other $ 82 $ (2,094)
Total $ (34,797) $ (37,203)
Interest costs declined in the three months ended March 31, 2003. Interest
expense relates to Company short-term borrowings invested to support funding
needed in 2000 and 2001, and 2002 to cover the Company's turnaround and
continues. Also contributing to the decline in interest cost is the Company's
decision in 2001 to discontinue granting stock incentives to lenders for debt
funding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources The following table sets forth selected
financial condition information as of March 31, 2003 compared to December 31,
2002:
Balance Sheet - 2003 2002
Working Capital ($ 983,265) ($1,007,838)
Total Assets $1,154,766 $1,205,944
Debt Obligations $ 906,462 $ 985,310
Shareholders' (Deficit) ($ 512,891) ($ 530,543)
Liquidity and sufficient capital resources continued to be a problem during the
first three months of 2003. Total costs exceed revenues throughout the first
three months of the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, but are expected to
improve in the second quarter. Cash flows therefore are expected to improve
through the balance of the year.
Monthly cash flows remain positive. Management believes it can continue to
manage this in the near-term with additional new business that is pending while
it negotiates additional funding opportunities intended to recapitalize the
Company.
The Company is engaged in this regard in negotiations with several
investment-banking firms and others with the intent of securing equity funding
of $1 million. These negotiations were continuing at March 31, 2003.
In March 2001 the Company and holders of four of the Company's notes payable
that were due in March and September of 2001 entered into Note Deferral and
Extension Agreements wherein each note holder agreed to defer all principal
payments until July 15, 2001. The Company agreed to make a twenty-five percent
(25%) principal payment to each note holder on July 15, 2001. The notes' due
dates were extend to July 15, 2002, but at July 15, 2002 the Company was unable
to make the scheduled partial principle payment or commence making level monthly
principal and interests payments over the remaining twelve-month period of the
notes. As part of that agreement the Company also agreed to increase the
interest rates of the notes from their stated twelve to fourteen percent (12% to
14%) to eighteen percent (18%). The Company has continued to make timely monthly
interest payments to the holders. Further, the Company is in communication with
the holders and believes it will be able to negotiate an arrangement that will
not adversely impact the Company's continuing operations.
At March 31, 2003, the Company had accrued approximately $47 thousand of unpaid
payroll taxes, interest and penalties. At the end of June, 2002 the Company
submitted required documentation in support of its "Offer In Compromise" it
filed in 2001 to the IRS. Management believes the Company will be able to
successfully liquidate this liability without incurring any adverse effects on
the Company's financial condition from actions of the IRS.
