The Company is currently in the process of the commercialization of the patented process, Klever-Kart(R) it has acquired. The commercialization process is divided into five phases as follows: Phase I: System Development and Product Movement Test. The product movement test was completed during third quarter 1997. The test took place in a Smith's Food and Drug store located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Information Resources, Inc., an independent company audited the results of the test and reported an average 46.84% incremental product movement. Phase II: Cost Reduction & Enhancement. In January 1998, the Company commenced development of the Phase II functional specification that will encompass cost reduction and system enhancements. Improvements that are in the process of design and development of the Klever-Kart(R) system include: a significantly smaller and more sleek design in the appearance and size of the display unit, smaller trigger units with improved sensitivity, more durable plastics, and improved sound fidelity. Phase III: Installation of 25 Stores. During the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company plans to place Klever-Kart(R) units in 25 stores in targeted retail chains, and 85 stores during 1999. Target stores include major national and regional chains. Phase IV: Electronic Coupon Integration. Final definition of the Electronic Coupon system is scheduled to begin the first quarter of 1998. This process consists of working with retailers and Point-of-Sale transaction processing system manufactures to ensure the appropriate degree of interface and integration necessary to implement the Electronic Coupon system. Because the Klever-Kart(R) system was designed with the eventual implementation of Electronic Coupons in mind, the Company does not expect significant hardware modifications will be necessary. The Electronic Coupon system design and initial manufacture is 12 scheduled for completion during the third quarter of 1998, with a minimum three month in-store test of system operation to take place in the fourth quarter. Phase V: Future Development. The Klever-KardTM frequent shopper program is scheduled for introduction in late 1999. This dynamic micro-marketing capability will be added to the Klever-Kart(R) system, allowing targeted promotions to individual customers according to demographics and personal buying history. In order to satisfy its cash requirements, the company will have to raise additional funds through the sale of restricted stock, joint ventures or short term borrowings.. The company estimated that it may need to hire 5 or 6 additional employees during the next 12 months. Results of Operations - The Company was inactive until July 5, 1996 when the Company merged with Klever Kart, Inc. in a reverse merger and changed its name to Klever Marketing, Inc. The Company is in the development stage as of December 31, 1997, and has not commenced planned principal operations, which are scheduled to begin fourth quarter 1998 or first quarter 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company requires working capital principally to fund its current research and development and operating expenses for which the Company has relied on short-term borrowings and the issuance of restricted common stock. There are no formal commitments from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings, but the Company has been able to borrow any additional working capital that has been required. From time to time in the past, required short-term borrowings have been obtained from a principal shareholder or other related entities. Cash flows. Operating activities used cash of $593,000 and $617,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in the use of cash is due primarily to a reduction in general and administrative costs. Investing activities have used cash of $28,000 and $50,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. Investing activities primarily represent purchases of patents relating to the electronic in-store advertising, directory and coupon devices, and purchases of office equipment. Financing activities provided cash of $602,000 and $672,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. Financing activities primarily represent sales of the Company's restricted stock. 13 ITEM 7 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of the Company and supplementary data are included beginning immediately following the signature page to this report.
