6.     CONTINGENCIES

On March 4, 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit (case number 6:02-CV-270-ORL-19JGG) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Color Kinetics Incorporated (“Color Kinetics”). This is an action for declaratory judgment that certain patents of Color Kinetics are invalid, that the Company’s products do not infringe any of such patents, and that such patents are unenforceable. Color Kinetics has notified the Company that it believes that certain Company products may infringe certain of Color Kinetics’ patents for LED lighting systems. On June 6, 2002 Color Kinetics filed a patent infringement suit in the state of Massachusetts against the Company. The Company is attempting to have the suit filed by Color Kinetics consolidated with the lawsuit filed by the Company in Florida. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this allegation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report, and the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, the attainment of which involve various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “believe”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “predict”, “forecast”, “intend”, “potential”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements due to, among other factors, competition in each of the Company’s product areas, dependence on suppliers, the Company’s limited manufacturing experience, the condition of the international marketplace and the evolving nature of the Company’s fiber optic technology. Additional information concerning these or other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or projected in, or even implied by, such forward-looking statements is contained in this report and also from time to time in the Company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. Although the Company believes 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 forward-looking information will prove to be accurate. Neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking statements. The Company is under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report on Form 10-QSB to conform its prior statements to actual results.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 vs. 2001

Results of Operations

Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of fiber optic Side Glow®and End Glow® cable and light sources and LED based products. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were approximately $3,485,000 as compared to approximately $3,067,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of approximately $418,000 or 14%. The increase was primarily the result of higher revenues in the pool and spa market, which increased by approximately $585,000 as compared to the three months, ended June 30, 2001, offset by lower revenues from the International market.

The Company derived approximately 3% of its total revenues from Hayward Pool Products Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to approximately 14% for the same period in 2001. Previously, Hayward was the exclusive worldwide distributor of the Company’s fiber optic lighting products in the pool and spa market. On August 15, 2001, the Company reached an agreement with Hayward terminating Hayward’s exclusive distribution rights as of September 30, 2001. The agreement with Hayward allowed the Company to commence direct selling of its fiber optic lighting products in the pool and spa market worldwide, except in the United States and Canada, as of August 15, 2001, and within the United States and Canada as of October 1, 2001.

Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $1,337,000 or 38% as compared to approximately $1,010,000 or 33% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The gross margin is dependent, in part, on product mix, as well as the mix of customers, which fluctuates from time to time. The increased gross margin was the result of an increased percentage of higher margin sales from domestic architectural lighting as well as the increased margin from the pool and spa market products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,361,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to approximately $1,136,000 for the same period in 2001, an increase of approximately $225,000 or 20%. The increase was principally due to additional sales and marketing related expenses to support the Company’s direct distribution of product into the pool and spa markets.

Table of Contents

 

Research and development costs were approximately $110,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to approximately $109,000 during the same period in 2001.

Interest expense of approximately $106,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to approximately $108,000 for the same period in 2001 relates to the capital lease in connection the Company’s facility in Orlando, Florida.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against income tax benefits resulting from losses incurred on operations and as a result there was no provision for income tax during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $223,000 or $0.09 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of approximately $302,000, or $0.12 per basic and diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 vs. 2001

Results of Operations

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were approximately $6,353,000 as compared to approximately $6,483,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 a decrease of approximately $130,000 or 2%. The decrease was primarily the result of lower revenue in the international market of approximately $394,000, principally offset by revenue growth in the pool and spa, waterfall and domestic architectural lighting markets of approximately $78,000, $77,000 and $72,000 respectively.

The Company derived approximately 3% of its total revenues from Hayward Pool Products Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to approximately 21% for the same period in 2001.

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $2,490,000 or 39% as compared to approximately $2,143,000 or 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The gross margin is dependent, in part, on product mix, as well as the mix of customers, which fluctuates from time to time. The increase in the amount of gross margin over the six months ended June 30, 2001 was mainly due to the increased volume of higher margin revenues derived from the sale of domestic architectural lighting and pool and spa products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $2,479,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to approximately $2,076,000 for the same period ended 2001, an increase of approximately $403,000 or 19%. The increase was primarily due to additional sales and marketing related expenses to support the Company’s pool and spa, as well as the domestic architectural lighting markets. The Company currently expects that selling, general and administrative expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars in order to support the distribution of the Company’s product offering in the pool and spa market as well as the domestic architectural lighting market on a direct basis, through its network of agents and independent manufacturer representatives.

Research and development costs were approximately $232,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to approximately $207,000 for the same period in 2001. The increase in research and development expense is related to the development of the LED product offering for the pool and spa market.

Interest expense of approximately $213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to approximately $217,000 for the same period last year, relates to the capital lease in connection the Company’s facility in Orlando, Florida. Lower investment balances contributed to the reduction in other income of approximately $30,000.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against income tax benefits resulting from losses incurred on operations and as a result there was no provision for income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $396,000, or $0.16 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to net loss of approximately $280,000, and $0.11 per basic and diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

At June 30, 2002 the Company had working capital of approximately of $5,029,000, an increase of approximately 5% as compared to working capital of approximately $4,808,000 at December 31, 2001. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company financed its operations primarily from cash flow and cash on hand. The Company expects that cash provided by operating activities may fluctuate in future periods as a result of several factors, including fluctuations in operating results, timing of customer shipments and collection of accounts receivable, inventory management, and the timing of payments to suppliers.

Net cash provided by operations amounted to approximately $63,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to approximately $302,000 of cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Cash provided by operations was mainly due to the decrease in inventories of approximately $219,000. Inventory management remains an area of focus as the Company balances its need to maintain inventory levels to ensure competitive lead time versus the risk of inventory obsolescence due to changing technology and customer requirements. The decrease in prepaid expense of approximately $114,000 is the result of a reduction in advance payments to suppliers for tooling costs and inventory that has now been capitalized as property and equipment and inventory.

The most significant use of cash was generated by the increase in accounts receivable by approximately $188,000 due to the timing of customer payments along with the level of sales that took place later in the quarter.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 amounted to approximately $154,000 and is primarily related to the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 amounted to approximately $43,000 in payments on the capital lease obligation related to the Company’s facility.

We currently believe that existing cash and cash equivalents balances and short-term investments will provide us with sufficient funds to finance our operations for the next 12 months. We intend to continue to invest in the development of new products and enhancements to our existing products. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including without limitation, general economic conditions and conditions in the architectural lighting and pool and spa markets in particular, the level and timing of revenue, the costs and timing of our product development efforts and the success of these development efforts, the costs and timing of our sales and marketing activities, the extent to which our existing and new products gain market acceptance, competing technological and market developments, the costs involved in maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, and other factors, all of which impact our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.

If we fail to achieve our plan of generating positive cash flow from operations over the next 12 months, we may not be able to devote as much resources as anticipated to developing or enhancing our products, taking advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Related Party Transactions

On September 27, 1996, we entered into a lease agreement with Max King Realty, an entity controlled by Mr. Kingstone, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, for approximately 70,000 square feet of warehouse and office space. We began occupying this facility in August 1997. The lease term expires in June 2012. Rental payments for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 amounted to approximately $153,000 and $145,000, respectively. The lease agreement was approved by all of the disinterested directors of the Company, with Mr. Kingstone abstaining from the vote. At the time we entered in the lease agreement, based on then current economic conditions, the real estate market, and our prospects, we believed that the transaction was on terms, when taken as a whole, no less favorable to the Company than could generally be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Critical Accounting Policies

We use certain accounting policies and procedures to manage changes that occur in our business environment that may affect accounting estimates made in preparation of our financial statements. These estimates relate primarily to our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and provision for inventory obsolescence. Our strategy for managing doubtful accounts includes stringent, centralized credit policies and collection procedures for all customer accounts. We use a credit risk rating system in order to measure the quality of individual credit transactions. We strive to identify potential problem receivables early, take appropriate collection actions, and maintain adequate reserve levels. Our strategy for providing for inventory obsolescence includes the periodic evaluation of existing inventory usage and realizable value. Typically, no provision is recorded for inventory that is currently useable and sold within a reasonable time frame. We believe that the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for inventory obsolescence is adequate at each period end.

In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (FAS 143). FAS 143 changes the measurement of an asset retirement obligation from a cost-accumulation approach to a fair value approach, where the fair value (discounted value) of an asset retirement obligation is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and accretion expense is recognized using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate in effect when the liability was initially recognized. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and subsequently amortized into expense. The pre-FAS 143 prescribed practice of reporting a retirement obligation as a contra-asset will no longer be allowed. SFAS No. 143 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The implementation of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings .

On March 4, 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit (case number 6:02-CV-270-ORL-19JGG) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against Color Kinetics Incorporated (“Color Kinetics”). This is an action for declaratory judgment that certain patents of Color Kinetics are invalid, that the Company’s products do not infringe any of such patents, and that such patents are unenforceable. Color Kinetics has notified the Company that it believes that certain Company products may infringe certain of Color Kinetics’ patents for LED lighting systems. On June 6, 2002 Color Kinetics filed a patent infringement suit in the state of Massachusetts against the Company. The Company is attempting to have the suit filed by Color Kinetics consolidated with the lawsuit filed by the Company in Florida. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this allegation.
