Hi Bill. We have news this morning.
TRIANGLE IMAGING GROUP INC (TRIG) Quarterly Report (SEC form 10-Q) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
Triangle Imaging Group's, Inc. (the "Company") total revenues for the first quarter of 1998 were $1,687,365, which is an increase of 52% over the Company's first quarter 1997 revenues of $1,111,221. Management believes the increase resulted from increased software revenues, reoccurring revenues, and the sale of services, which can be attributed an increase in the Company's sales force as well as low interest rates, record high home resales and increased consumer spending and debt accumulation.
Reoccurring revenues in the CRIS(TM) and ACES(TM) product lines constituted 47% of the Company's revenues in the first quarter 1998. Revenues from the ACES(TM) product line contributed 13% of the reoccurring revenues for the first quarter 1998 while the remaining 34% of revenues contributed to reoccurring revenues were derived from the CRIS(TM) product line. Reoccurring revenues consist of annual software maintenance contracts, technical support revenues, software purchased on a per report basis and monthly software rental programs. New sales of CRIS(TM) products constituted 3% of the Company's revenues for first quarter 1998 and new sales of ACES(TM) products comprised 18% of the revenues. Outsourcing revenues accounted for approximately 31% of the Company's revenues in first quarter 1998. Other income, including interest income, comprised the remaining 1% of revenues for the first quarter 1998.
The cost of revenues was $275,781 in first quarter 1998, which was a 5% cost of revenues decrease from the Company's first quarter 1997 costs of $244,055. Gross profit, $1,411,584, as a percentage of revenues was 84% in first quarter 1998 as compared to the 79%, or $867,166, for the first quarter 1997. The decrease in costs and increase in gross profit resulted primarily from an increase in operational efficiency and management's increased involvement in and control of profit margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $942,770 in first quarter 1998 compared to $694,591, a 35% increase of $248,179 and a cost of revenues decrease of 7%. Management believes that the monetary increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to the increased expenses associated with increased sales as well as continued and increased investment in its product lines while the decrease as a percentage of revenues was due to greater operational efficiencies. Non-cash imputed compensation for the first quarter 1998 was $49,640, a 271% increase compared to $13,375 for first quarter 1997. The increase was due to the Company's issuance of stock, during calendar year 1997, to consultants for services necessary for the dynamic growth of the company. The non-cash imputed compensation also allowed additional funds to be invested in the company's existing and developing product lines.
The Company's net income in first quarter 1998 includes a 12% increase in non-cash expenses of approximately $71,305 and a provision for income taxes of $107,000 as compared to non-cash expenses of $63,622 for first quarter 1997. Such expenses were incurred as a result of depreciation and amortization of assets acquired with the acquisition of EBS as well as the Goodwill created in the acquisition. The increase of the non-cash expenses was again primarily attributable increased monetary cost of revenues. While the Company currently holds a $984,000 net operating loss carry forward, of which $657,000 is available for the 1998 fiscal year, the creation of a provision for income taxes is required due to the current high level of earned income.
Interest expense was $19,752 in first quarter 1998, compared to $19,486 in the first quarter 1997, reflecting interest paid on a promissory note of $1,600,000. The promissory note, which is an 8.25%, plus $25,000 per month of principle, note with a $775,000 balloon payment due 2/1/00, is held by the selling shareholders of EBS, created during the sale of stock to Triangle Imaging Group, Inc. Minority interest for the first quarter 1998 was eliminated by the Company acquiring the remaining 5% of the outstanding shares of Engineered Business Systems Inc. The acquisition completed on December 31, 1997 involved the Company purchasing the remaining 5% of the shares of Engineered Business Systems, Inc. from three minority interest holders with a combination of cash and stock.
The Company's net gain before any income tax provision for first quarter 1998 was $377,757, a 322% increase from the net gain before any income tax provision for first quarter 1997 of $89,467. The Company's final net income after tax provisions increase of 202% was $270,757 for the first quarter 1998 as compared to the final net income after tax of $89,467 for the first quarter 1997. The increase in the net gains in first quarter 1998 is primarily attributable to a combination of all the factors discussed above.
