TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Information at April 30, 1998 and for the six and three month periods
ended April 30, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited)
1. Organization:
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on September 30, 1993. Take-Two and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Mission Studios Corporation ("Mission"), Take-Two Interactive
Software Europe Limited ("TTE"), Alternative Reality Technologies ("ART"),
Inventory Management Systems, Inc. ("IMSI"), Alliance Inventory Management
("AIM") and Creative Alliance Group Inc. ("CAG") design, develop, publish,
market and distribute interactive software games for use on multimedia personal
computer and video game console platforms. The Company's interactive software
games are sold primarily in the United States, Europe and Asia.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Transactions:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring entries necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six and three month periods ended April 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended October 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 1997.
On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of IMSI and
CAG. IMSI and CAG are engaged in the wholesale distribution of interactive
software games. To effect the acquisition, all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of each of IMSI and CAG were exchanged for 900,000 shares of
restricted common stock of the Company. The acquisition has been accounted for
as a pooling of interests in accordance with APB No. 16 and accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements have been restated to include the results of
operations and financial position of IMSI and CAG for all periods presented
prior to the business combination.
4
Risk and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The
most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the recoverability of
capitalized software development costs and intangibles, allowances for returns
and income taxes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Prepaid Royalties
Prepaid royalties were written down $176,525 for the three months and $226,525
for the six months ended April 30, 1998 to net realizable value. Royalty expense
for the three months and six months ended April 30, 1998 amounted to $1,777,086
and $5,363,000, respectively. These increases relate primarily to the release of
Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Gex: Enter the Gecko, Three Lions and the Monty
Python series.
Capitalized Software Development Costs (Including Film Production Costs)
Capitalized software costs were written down by $29,491 for the three months and
$302,325 for the six months ended April 30, 1998 to net realizable value.
Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $ 1,303,107 and
$1,820,462 for the three and six months ended April 30, 1998, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" effective November 1,
1997. As required by SFAS No. 128, the Company has provided a reconciliation of
basic earnings per share to dilutive earnings per share within the table
outlined below. This statement also eliminates the presentation of primary EPS
and requires the presentation of basic EPS (the principal difference being that
common stock equivalents are not considered in the computation of basic EPS). It
also requires the presentation of diluted EPS which gives effect to all dilutive
potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About
Capital Structure". Under SFAS No. 129, an entity shall explain, in summary form
within the financial statements, the pertinent rights and privileges of the
various securities outstanding. This standard is effective for financial
statement periods ending after December 15, 1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
("SFAS No. 130"), which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997 and requires reclassification of prior period financial
statements. The Company is currently considering the various presentation
options of SFAS No. 130.
Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which revises disclosure
requirements about operating segments and establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS 131 requires that public business enterprises report financial and
descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The statement
is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement of prior years in the initial year of application.
3. Business Acquisitions
In March 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of BMG
Interactive Group, a division of BMG Entertainment North America ("BMG"),
including direct distribution, sales and marketing offices in France and
Germany; a product publishing and distribution group in the United Kingdom;
distribution, publishing and certain sequel rights to twelve upcoming video game
and PC game product releases; and various back catalog publishing and
distribution rights. As consideration for these assets, the Company issued to
BMG 1,850,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Stock") valued at $11,498,000. The Preferred Stock is convertible on a
one-for-one basis into shares of Common Stock, and is not entitled to receive
dividends and has a liquidation preference of $6.875 per share.
The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon their estimated fair values as follows:
6
Working capital $ 10,957,000
Equipment 541,000
------------
$ 11,498,000
The acquisition described above has been accounted for as a purchase transaction
in accordance with APB No. 16 and, accordingly, the results of operations and
financial position of BMG Interactive Group is included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Private Offering
In March 1998, the Company sold 158,333 shares of Common Stock in a private
placement and received proceeds of $949,998.
Lines of Credit
In March 1998, IMSI and AIM amended a revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank, N.A.. The line provides for borrowings of up to $7,000,000 and
expires on May 31, 1999. Advances under the line of credit are based on a
borrowing formula equal to the lesser of (i) $7,000,000 or (ii) 80% of eligible
accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. Interest accrues on such
advances at a rate of .75% over NationsBank's prime rate (9.25% as of April 30,
1998) and is payable monthly. Borrowings under the line of credit are
collateralized by a lien on the assets of IMSI and AIM and are guaranteed by the
Company. The loan agreement limits or prohibits IMSI and AIM, subject to certain
exceptions, from declaring or paying cash dividends, merging or consolidating
with another corporation, selling assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business), creating liens and incurring additional indebtedness. The available
credit under this facility is approximately $850,376 at April 30, 1998.
In April 1998, TTE amended its line of credit agreement with Barclays' Bank. The
line provides for borrowings of up to (pound)625,000 ($1,045,000). Advances
under the line of credit bear interest at the rate of 3% over Barclays' base
rate per annum (10.25%) as of April 30, 1998, payable quarterly. Borrowings are
collateralized by TTE's receivables (which must at all times be at least 3 times
the amount outstanding on the line of credit) and are guaranteed by the Company.
The line of credit is cancelable and repayable upon demand and is subject to
review prior to February 18, 1999. The available credit under this facility is
approximately (pound)353,970 ($591,648) at April 30, 1998.
Subsequent Event
In May 1998 the Company consummated a private placement of 770,000 shares of
Common Stock and received proceeds of $5,082,000, net of related expenses.
$5,000,000 of the proceeds was used to fund the Company's obligation in a
distribution agreement with Gathering of Developers I, Ltd. ("Gathering"),
pursuant to which Gathering granted the Company (i) the exclusive right to
distribute and market through standard retail channels Railroad Tycoon 2,
Flight, Max Payne, FAKK 2, Unreal Based Game X, Rat Patrol, Stunts, Nocturne,
Jazz Jackrabbit II and an unnamed title designed to operate on the PC
7
platform in the United States and Canada during the later of a four-year period
or three years following the release of any such product; (ii) a non-exclusive
right to distribute the products on-line; and (iii) certain rights of first
refusal to distribute the products designed for use on console platforms in
North America, Europe, Israel, Australia and Africa.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: The statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to, the Company's ability to successfully integrate the businesses and
personnel of newly acquired entities into its operations, the shift in business
focus from software development to publishing and distribution, changes in
consumer preferences and demographics, technological change, competitive
factors, unfavorable general economic conditions and the availability of
adequate financing. The Company's actual results may differ materially from such
forward looking statement.
Results of Three Months Ended April 30, 1997 and 1998
Net sales increased by $19,417,172, or 554.0%, from $3,504,941 for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 to $22,922,113 for the three months ended April 30,
1998. Of such increases, $13,498,634 is attributed to international net sales
which were from $124,160 to $13,622,794 for the three months ended April 30,
1997 and 1998, respectively. This significant increase in net sales was
primarily attributed to the expanded scope of the Company's operations,
including sales of Jeopardy!, designed for the Nintendo 64 platform, the TTE and
AIM acquisitions and the release of Gex: Enter the Gecko and Three Lions which
were acquired from BMG.
Cost of sales increased by $12,979,371, or 657.0%, from $1,975,693 for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 to $14,955,064 for the three months ended April 30,
1998. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 65.2% for the
three months ended April 30, 1998 from 56.4% for the three months ended April
30, 1997. The increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales
is primarily attributable to the higher unit cost of manufacturing Nintendo 64
products such as Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and Sony Playstation products
such as Gex: Enter the Gecko and Three Lions, royalties incurred in connection
with these products and AIM's lower margin distribution operations. In future
periods, cost of sales may be adversely affected by manufacturing and other
costs, price competition and by changes in the mix of products and distribution
channels.
Research and development costs increased by $116,144, or 37.1%, from $313,368
for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $429,512 for the three months ended
April 30, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
ART, a software developer, in July 1997. Research and development costs as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 1.9% for the three months ended April 30,
1998 from 8.9% for the three months ended April 30, 1997.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by $1,972,903, or 212.3%, from $929,441
for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $2,902,344 for the three months
ended April 30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition
of TTE's and AIM's distribution operations and selling and marketing expenses
incurred in connection with the distribution of Gex: Enter the Gecko and Three
Lions. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to
12.7% for the three months ended April 30, 1998 from 26.5% for the three months
ended April 30, 1997.
9
This decrease is attributable to lower marketing dollars spent per unit as a
result of the increase in net sales. The Company anticipates that future selling
and marketing expenses will increase as a result of the newly acquired
operations of TTE and AIM, as well as increased marketing expenses associated
with proposed video game products.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2,346,310, or 502.4%, from
$467,033 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $2,813,343 for the three
months ended April 30, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to
salaries, rent, insurance premiums and professional fees associated with the
Company's expanded operations. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 12.3% for the three months ended April 30,
1998 from 13.3% for the three months ended April 30, 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $206,588, or 135.7%, from
$152,259 for the three months ended April 30, 1997 to $358,847 for the three
months ended April 30, 1998. Amortization of intangible assets that resulted
from the TTE and AIM acquisitions accounted for $166,301 of this increase.
Loss on termination of capital lease of $225,395 for the three months ended
April 30, 1998 resulted from the termination of a capital lease for computer
equipment.
Interest expense increased by $399,430, or 198.6%, from $201,089 for the three
months ended April 30, 1997 to $600,519 for the three months ended April 30,
1998. The increase resulted primarily from the issuance of convertible notes
used to finance the manufacturing of Nintendo 64 products Wheel of Fortune and
Jeopardy! and interest incurred on the AIM and TTE lines of credit.
Income taxes increased by $4,935, or 164.5%, from $3,001 for the three months
ended April 30, 1997 to $7,936 for the three months ended April 30, 1998. The
increase resulted primarily from the accrual of state income taxes.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company achieved net income of $629,153 for
the three months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to a net loss of $536,943 for
the three months ended April 30, 1997.
Results of Six Months Ended April 30, 1997 and 1998
Net sales increased by $35,353,559, or 366.9%, from $9,636,991 for the six
months ended April 30, 1997 to $44,990,550 for the six months ended April 30,
1998. Of such increases, $13,504,534 is attributed to international net sales
which were from $194,160 to $13,698,694 for the six months ended April 30, 1997
and 1998, respectively. This growth in net sales was primarily due to the
distribution of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! for the Nintendo 64 platform, the
TTE and AIM acquisitions and the release of Gex: Enter the Gecko and Three Lions
which were acquired from BMG.
Cost of sales increased by $24,985,041, or 504.6%, from $4,951,659 for the six
months ended April 30, 1997 to $29,936,700 for the six months ended April 30,
1998. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 66.5% for the six
months ended April 30, 1998 from 51.4% for the six months ended April 30, 1997.
10
The increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales is
primarily attributable to the higher unit cost of manufacturing Nintendo 64
products such as Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and Sony Playstation products
such as Gex: Enter the Gecko and Three Lions, royalties incurred in connection
with these products and AIM's lower margin distribution operations.
Research and development costs increased by $282,821, or 47.1%, from $600,939
for the six months ended April 30, 1997 to $883,760 for the six months ended
April 30, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
ART, a software developer, in July 1997. Research and development costs as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 2.0% for the six months ended April 30,
1998 from 6.2% or the six months ended April 30, 1997.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by $2,731,013, or 109.3%, from
$2,499,410 for the six months ended April 30, 1997 to $5,230,423 for the six
months ended April 30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of TTE's and AIM's distribution operations and sales commissions,
distribution fees and market development expenses incurred in connection with
the distribution of Wheel of Fortune and the Monty Python series. Selling and
marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.6% for the six
months ended April 30, 1998 from 25.9% for the six months ended April 30, 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased by $3,329,905, or 320.9%, from
$1,037,676 for the six months ended April 30, 1997 to $4,367,581 for the six
months ended April 30, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to
salaries, rent, insurance premiums and professional fees associated with the
Company's expanded operations. Also, general and administrative expenses for the
six months ended April 30, 1998 included $246,204 of deferred financing costs in
connection with the convertible notes issued to finance the manufacturing of
Nintendo 64 products Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $387,764, or 125.8%, from
$308,218 for the six months ended April 30, 1997 to $695,982 for the six months
ended April 30, 1998. Amortization of intangible assets that resulted from the
TTE and AIM acquisitions accounted for $260,642 of this increase.
Loss on termination of capital lease of $225,395 for the six months ended April
30, 1998 resulted from the termination of a capital lease for computer
equipment.

months ended April 30, 1997 to $1,731,648 for the six months ended April 30,
1998. The increase resulted primarily from the issuance of convertible notes
used to finance the manufacturing of Nintendo 64 products Wheel of Fortune and
Jeopardy! and interest incurred on the AIM and TTE lines of credit.
Income taxes increased by $30,927, or 171.9%, from $17,992 for the six months
ended April 30, 1997 to $48,919 for the six months ended April 30, 1998. The
increase resulted primarily from the accrual of state income taxes.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company achieved net income of $1,870,142 for
the six months ended April 30, 1998, as compared to a net loss of $264,779 for
the six months ended April 30, 1997
11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital requirements have been and will continue to
be to fund the acquisition, development, manufacture and commercialization of
its software products. The Company has historically financed its operations
through advances made by distributors, the issuance of debt and equity
securities and bank borrowings. At April 30, 1998, the Company had working
capital of $13,508,505 as compared to a working deficit of ($1,442,974) at
October 31, 1997. The increase in working capital was primarily attributable to
the Company's acquisition of certain assets from BMG.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April
30, 1998 was $3,660,261 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$337,380 for the six months ended April 30, 1997. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in the profitability after adjustments for non-cash
items. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended April 30,
1998 was $1,616,178 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$208,286 for the six months ended April 30, 1997. The increase in net cash used
in investing was primarily attributable to the AIM acquisition. Net cash used in
financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 1998 was $3,821,031 as
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $6,049,547 for the six
months ended April 30, 1997. The decrease in net cash provided by financing
activities was primarily attributed to the cash inflow from the issuance of
stock and warrants in connection with the initial public offering at April 30,
1997. In addition, at April 30, 1998 the Company repaid the outstanding
aggregate principal amount under the Security Purchase Agreement. At April 30,
1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalent of $438,562.
In September 1996, the Company consummated a private placement pursuant to
which it issued (i) $2,088,539 principal amount of Notes and (ii) five year
warrants to purchase 417,234 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.01
per share. As of April 30, 1998, $129,524 principal amount of such indebtedness
was outstanding.
In December 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Citibank,
N.A. ("Citibank") which provides for borrowings under a revolving line of credit
of up to $250,000. Interest accrues on advances at 9.5% per annum and is payable
monthly. The line of credit is repayable in twenty-four equal monthly
installments in the event Citibank terminates the Company's right to obtain
future loans. At April 30, 1998, $246,997 was outstanding under the line of
credit. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to Citibank as
collateral and the repayment of advances is personally guaranteed by Ryan A.
Brant, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
In connection with the Mission acquisition, in September 1996, the Company
issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $337,750 bearing interest at
the rate of 6% per annum, payable in equal monthly installments of $10,224
through September 1999. The Company also issued a promissory note in the
principal amount of $330,000, of which $130,000 has been paid to date. Repayment
of the remaining $200,000 is contingent upon the inclusion of a specific
software engine in shipments of JetFighter IV. The Company has pledged the
Mission stock as collateral for the repayment of such notes.
In connection with the purchase of TTE, ART and certain software games, the
Company issued an unsecured promissory note to GameTek FL's secured creditor in
the amount of $500,000 payable in two equal annual installments of $250,000 on
July 28, 1998 and July 29, 1999, bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum,
payable quarterly.
12
In December 1996, TTE entered into a line of credit agreement (as amended
in September 1997 and April 1998) with Barclays' Bank which provides for
borrowings of up to approximately (pound)625,000 ($1,045,000). Advances under
the line of credit bear interest at the rate of 3% over Barclays' base rate per
annum (10.25% as of April 30, 1998), payable quarterly. Borrowings are
collateralized by TTE's receivables which must at all times be at least three
times the amount outstanding on the line of credit and are guaranteed by the
Company. The line of credit is cancellable and repayable upon demand. The
available credit under this facility is approximately (pound)353,970 ($591,648)
at April 30, 1998.
In December 1997, IMSI and AIM entered into a revolving line of credit
agreement (as amended in March 1998) with NationsBank, N.A. which provides for
borrowings of up to $7,000,000. Advances under the line of credit are based on a
borrowing formula equal to the lesser of (i) $7,000,000 or (ii) 80% of eligible
accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory. Interest accrues on such
advances at a rate of .75% over NationsBank's prime rate (9.25% as of April 30,
1998) and is payable monthly. Borrowings under the line of credit are
collateralized by a lien on the assets of IMSI and AIM and are guaranteed by the
Company. The loan agreement limits or prohibits IMSI and AIM, subject to certain
exceptions, from declaring or paying cash dividends, merging or consolidating
with another corporation, selling assets (other than in the ordinary course of
business), creating liens and incurring additional indebtedness. The available
credit under this facility is approximately $850,376 at April 30, 1998. The line
of credit expires on May 31, 1999. AIM also has an arrangement with
Nationscredit Commercial Corporation of America, an affiliate of NationsBank
("Nationscredit"), whereby Nationscredit advances funds for the purchase of
Nintendo hardware and software products and then bills AIM for amounts owed. A
security agreement between AIM and Nationscredit grants Nationscredit a security
interest in certain inventory and requires AIM to maintain a minimum working
capital and tangible net worth. The Company has guaranteed the payment of
amounts owed to Nationscredit.
In October 1997, the Company issued Convertible Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $4,200,000, which bear interest at the rate of 10% per
annum. At April 30, 1998, the Company repaid the outstanding aggregate principal
amount on these notes.
Pursuant to its agreement with a former distributor, the Company has agreed
to make scheduled payments in the aggregate amount of $1,412,000 ($1,000,000 of
which has been repaid) as reimbursement for advances previously made by such
distributor.
The Company's accounts receivable at April 30, 1998 were $13,031,527, net
of reserve for allowances of $1,434,192. As of April 30, 1998, the receivable
balance from BMG Entertainment International UK and Ireland Limited ("BMG
13
Entertainment"), amounted to approximately 48.3% of the Company's net accounts
receivable balance. BMG Entertainment provides certain administrative services,
including billing and collection to TTE.
Delays in collection or uncollectibility of accounts receivable could
adversely affect the Company's working capital position. The Company is subject
to credit risks, particularly in the event that any of its receivables represent
sales to a limited number of retailers or distributors or are concentrated in
foreign markets, which could require the Company to increase its allowance for
doubtful accounts.
In March 1998, the Company issued 158,333 shares of Common Stock and
received net proceeds of $949,998.
In May 1998 the Company consummated a private placement of 770,000 shares
of Common Stock and received proceeds of $5,082,000, net of related expenses.
$5,000,000 of the proceeds was used to fund the Company's obligation in a
distribution agreement with Gathering of Developers I, Ltd. ("Gathering"),
pursuant to which Gathering granted the Company (i) the exclusive right to
distribute and market through standard retail channels Railroad Tycoon 2,
Flight, Max Payne, FAKK 2, Unreal Based Game X, Rat Patrol, Stunts, Nocturne,
Jazz Jackrabbit II and an unnamed title designed to operate on the PC platform
in the United States and Canada during the later of a four-year period or three
years following the release of any such product; (ii) a non-exclusive right to
distribute the products on-line; and (iii) certain rights of first refusal to
distribute the products designed for use on console platforms in North America,
Europe, Israel, Australia and Africa.
Based on plans and assumptions relating to its operations, the Company
believes that projected cash flow from operations and available cash resources
will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements for the
reasonably foreseeable future. To the extent the Company continues to implement
its expansion plans, the Company may seek to obtain additional financing. There
can be no assurance that projected cash flow from operations and available cash
resources will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations or that additional
financing will be available to the Company, if required.
Fluctuations in Operating Results and Seasonality
The Company's operating results may vary significantly from period to
period as a result of purchasing patterns of potential customers, the timing of
new product introductions by the Company and its competitors, product returns,
marketing and research and development expenditures and pricing. Sales of the
Company's products are seasonal, with peak product shipments typically occurring
in the fourth calendar quarter (the Company's first fiscal quarter), depending
upon the timing of product releases, as a result of increased demand for
products during the year end holiday season.
International Trade
Product sales in international markets, primarily in the United Kingdom, other
countries in Europe and the Pacific Rim, have accounted for a significant
portion of the Company's revenues. The Company is subject to risks inherent in
foreign trade, including increased credit risks, fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, shipping delays and international political, regulatory
and economic developments, all of which could have a significant impact on the
Company. Product sales by TTE in France and Germany are made in local
currencies. The Company does not engage in foreign currency hedging
transactions.
14
Year 2000 Issue
The Company has assessed the potential issues associated with programming
codes in its existing computer systems with respect to a two-digit year value
for the year 2000 and believes that addressing such issues is not a material
event or uncertainty that would cause reported financial information not to be
indicative of future operating results or financial condition. The Company is
currently upgrading its accounting software.
