NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2001
(Unaudited)

Note 1.  General

                 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instruction 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, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make such financial statements not misleading. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected either for any other quarter in the year ending December 31, 2001 or for the entire year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Note 2.   Operations

                 Gateway Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in July 1994. The Company had no operating business from December 1996 to March 2000, when it acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Oaktree Systems, Inc. (“Oaktree”). Oaktree provides database development consolidation and management services, and web site design and maintenance to customers. Such customers are principally not-for-profit entities, health care providers and publishers throughout the United States.

                 The Company had no full time employees from December 1996 until the acquisition of Oaktree in March 2000. The Company’s officers and Steel Partners Services, Ltd. (an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman) devote time to the Company’s administration and in exploring potential acquisitions and other business opportunities.

GATEWAY INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY



Note 3.   Purchase of Subsidiary

                 In March 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Oaktree for a purchase price of $4,078,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in cash, the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, the repayment of existing Oaktree bank debt of $640,000 and expenses of $70,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and, accordingly include the results of operations since the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill of $3,124,000 and other intangible assets of $350,000, which will be amortized over 15 and 5 years, respectively.

                 The following shows the consolidated condensed unaudited proforma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as if the Oaktree acquisition had occurred at January 1, 2000 and for comparative purposes, the actual consolidated condensed unaudited statement of operations for nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Note 4.  Warrant Agreements

                 On May 18, 2001, the Company entered into two warrant agreements with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”). Each of the 150,000 warrants has an exercise price of of $1.75 per warrant. The Black-Scholes calculation yielded an immaterial expense charge in the current period.

                 Under the first warrant agreement, Mayo may exercise warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock. The warrants may be exercised over four years beginning May 2002 according to a formula based in part on (a) the per share market price of the Company's stock, (b) Oaktree and Mayo continuing to be parties to a product fulfillment services agreement dated April 2001 and (c) at least 90% of Agreed Fulfillment (as defined in the warrant agreement) being performed by the Company during the preceding year through Oaktree’s fulfillment services provided under the fulfillment services agreement. The second warrant agreement entered into by the Company and Mayo on May 18, 2001 allows exercise of a total of 50,000 warrants in two equal amounts and is subject to attainment of certain revenue goals.

Note 5.  Reciprocal Marketing Agreement

                 During the third quarter of 2001, a reciprocal marketing agreement between the Company and MDM Technologies, Inc. (“MDM”), an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman, was terminated. Sales realized by the Company during 2000 and 2001 under a reciprocal marketing agreement were immaterial and management believes the termination of the arrangement with MDM will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.


GATEWAY INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY



Note 6.  Net Loss Per Share

                 Net loss per share was calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. The effect of common stock equivalents for September 30, 2001 and 2000 of 462,000 and 459,000, respectively has not been considered as such items are antidilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted income per share are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

Note 7.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

                 On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates for the Company are as follows:

  • All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001.
  • Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability.
  • Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective January 1, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization.
  • Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator.
  • All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting.

                 The Company will continue to amortize goodwill and intangible assets recognized prior to July 1, 2001, under its current method until January 1, 2002, at which time annual and quarterly goodwill amortization of approximately $240,000 and $60,000 will no longer be recognized. By June 30, 2002 the Company will have completed a transitional fair value based impairment test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Impairment losses, if any, resulting from the transitional testing will be recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

                 In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, (“SFAS 144”). This statement is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This supercedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, while retaining many of the requirements of such statement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the statement.


Item 2.   Management’s Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operations

                 The Company acquired Oaktree on March 21, 2000, for a purchase price of approximately $4.1 million, consisting of $2 million in cash, the issuance of 600,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company and the assumption of approximately $650,000 of debt (which was repaid in full at closing), and certain fees and expenses.

                 The Company believes that Oaktree’s PC Database and Internet business model will generate significant internal growth. Oaktree's products offer enhancements at lower costs in contrast to traditional, mainframe competitors. Additionally, with the release of Oaktree’s Database Fulfillment System, Oaktree expects to capture new customers seeking more efficient marketing and operational fulfillment environments. Oaktree is also planning the release of a Database Subscription System that is expected to permit Oaktree to aggressively pursue the large subscription management market.

                 As of September 30, 2001, Oaktree employed 102 full time and part time employees. None of the employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreements and the Company believes that the relationship with its employees is good.

                 On May 18, 2001, the Company entered into two warrant agreements with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”). Each of the 150,000 warrants has an exercise price of $1.75 per warrant. The Black-Scholes calculation yields an immaterial current expense charge.

                 Under the first agreement, Mayo may exercise warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The warrants may be exercised over four years beginning May 2002 according to a formula based in part on (a) the per share market price of the Company’s stock, (b) Oaktree and Mayo continuing to be parties to a product fulfillment services agreement dated April 2001 and (c) at least 90% of Agreed Fulfillment (as defined in the warrant agreement) being performed by the Company during the preceding year through Oaktree’s fulfillment services provided under the fulfillment services agreement. The second warrant agreement entered into by the Company and Mayo on May 18, 2001 allows exercise of a total of 50,000 warrants in two equal amounts and is subject to attainment of certain revenue goals.

                 The Company’s ability to complete further product acquisitions will depend on, among other things, the availability of appropriate acquisition opportunities, the ability to obtain appropriate financing and the Company’s ability to consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any such acquisition on acceptable terms.

REVENUES AND EXPENSES

                 The Company had no operating business from 1996 until the acquisition of Oaktree on March 21, 2000.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000

                 Oaktree's revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $1,274,000 compared $936,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, a 36% increase. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, Oaktree released its new Internet based fulfillment system. During the third quarter of 2001, Oaktree established a product fulfillment center in Elizabeth, New Jersey and a lock box department and a call center located in Calverton, New York. The new services enabled Oaktree to increase revenue with existing customers and allowed an expansion of services to new customers.

                 During the three months ended September 30, 2001, Oaktree had cost of sales of $358,000 and a gross profit of $916,000. During the three month period ended September 30, 2000, Oaktree had cost of sales of $133,000 and a gross profit of $803,000. Increases in costs of sales of $225,000 and payroll of $166,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2000 principally resulted from the initial start up costs to implement the service expansions described above.

                 The Company's costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2001 aggregated $1,112,000, consisting of payroll expenses of $664,000, professional fees of $37,000, general and administrative expense of $257,000, rental cost of $72,000, and depreciation and amortization of $82,000. The Company's consolidated costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 aggregated $935,000, consisting of payroll expenses of $498,000, professional fees of $35,000, general and administrative expense of $225,000, rental cost of $33,000, and depreciation and amortization of $144,000. These costs also increased principally as a result of service expansions.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000

                 During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, Oaktree had revenues of $3,535,000, cost of sales of $874,000 and a gross profit of $2,661,000. During the period from March 22, 2000 to September 30, 2000, Oaktree had revenues of $1,899,000, cost of sales of $320,000 and a gross profit of $1,579,000.

                 The Company's consolidated costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 aggregated $3,261,000, consisting of payroll expenses of $1,960,000, professional fees of $151,000, general and administrative expense of $714,000, rental cost of $193,000, and depreciation and amortization of $243,000. The Company’s consolidated costs and expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 aggregated $2,114,000, consisting of payroll expenses of $1,032,000, professional fees of $154,000, general and administrative expenses of $643,000, rental costs of $61,000, and depreciation and amortization of $224,000.

                 The income statements in Note 3 show that the net loss for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased over the pro-forma net loss reported in Note 3 for the same period in 2000. Sales are higher in 2001 versus 2000 by 38% and operating loss decreased by 6% for the first nine months of 2001 over the pro-forma first nine months of 2000. Higher operating expenses of 26% in first nine months of 2001 over the pro-forma first nine months of 2000 are attributable to increased hiring of employees and increased other operating expenses at Oaktree that were incurred as a result of increase in sales. Generally, the Company realized increased sales in 2001 through the introduction of new products and expansion of services to existing customers and the Company incurred new expenses to provide the new products and to a lesser extent, the expanded services to existing customers.

OTHER INCOME

                 For the three months ended September 30, 2001, other income totaled $16,000 of interest income. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, other income consisted of interest income of $42,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company recognized $77,000 of net interest income and $1,000 other income compared with $150,000 interest income and $19,000 other income in the comparable period of 2000. The difference results primarily from less cash equivalents on hand earning interest income since the Company invested cash in the operating business of Oaktree during March 2000. Falling money market interest rates also contributed to the earning of less interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                 The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,072,000 at September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company's working capital balance was $2,216,000.

                 The Company is continuing to seek an acquisition or other business combination and there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be completed. Management believes its cash position is sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

New Accounting Pronouncements

                 On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, certain provisions of this Statement apply to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements and their effective dates for the Company are as follows:

  • All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before July 1, 2001.
  • Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or as part of a related contract, asset or liability.
  • Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives, acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective January 1, 2002, all previously recognized goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization.
  • Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an impairment indicator.
  • All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting.

                 The Company will continue to amortize goodwill and intangible assets recognized prior to July 1, 2001, under its current method until January 1, 2002, at which time annual and quarterly goodwill amortization of approximately $240,000 and $60,000 will no longer be recognized. By June 30, 2002 the Company will have completed a transitional fair value based impairment test of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Impairment losses, if any, resulting from the transitional testing will be recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

                 In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, (“SFAS 144”). This statement is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This supercedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, while retaining many of the requirements of such statement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the statement.
