BUSINESS INTRODUCTION Integrity is a media-communications company that chiefly produces, publishes and distributes Christian music. It is a producer and publisher of Christian lifestyle products developed to facilitate worship, entertainment and education. Integrity's music product formats include cassettes, compact discs, videos, DVD's and printed music. The Company produces praise and worship music in different musical styles for specific audiences such as children's music, urban music, youth music and live worship for adult audiences. According to Soundscan tracking, the Company is the leading praise and worship music company, with 56% of the Christian Bookseller's Association ("CBA") market at end of year 2000. The Company was also the No. 2 Christian music label in the CBA market for 3 years running according to Soundscan. Integrity's products are sold primarily through retail stores and direct to consumers throughout the United States and internationally in 161 other countries worldwide. The Company has determined that its business is operated in segments based on these distribution channels. For specific information regarding the financial performance of each segment, see Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Integrity's recorded music products fall into two broad categories (i) concept products which are centered on a specific theme, such as praise and worship music and (ii) artist products, in which the artist is the focal point. In addition to recorded music, Integrity produces Christian music video products for certain praise and worship artists. Integrity's products also include software and printed music, such as songbooks and sheet music, designed primarily for distribution to churches and choral groups. Integrity was organized in Alabama as a corporation on May 1, 1987 and was reincorporated in Delaware on October 1, 1993. PRODUCTS Concept Products Praise and worship concept products are centered around a specific theme or event rather than being focused on a specific artist. The Company's original concept product series, Hosanna! Music(R), consists of recorded praise and worship music composed of live recordings sung by an audience and worship leader rather than a performing artist. The Company's Hosanna! Music(R) series has proven to be a successful product line having just produced its 105th recording. 1
10-K4053rd Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
The Company's concept product line now includes: Hosanna! Music(R), Urban Praise(R), FairHope Records(R), classic praise and worship music grouped according to themes, designed for budget-conscious customers; World's Best Praise and Worship(R) series; and Integrity Notes(R), a series of greeting cards for general occasions and specialty cards related to seasonal events, featuring verses from our praise and worship songs. Artist Products In addition to concept products, the Company also produces artist recordings in which the artist is the main focal point. These products have recently included "Get Ready - The Best of T.D. Jakes" with T.D. Jakes, "I Will Sing" with Don Moen, "Lion of Judah" with Paul Wilbur, "We Offer Praises" with Ron Kenoly, "Never Gonna Stop" with Tommy Walker, "More Than Enough" with Gary Oliver, "Freedom" with Darrell Evans and "Open The Eyes of My Heart" with Paul Baloche. Other Products The Company has also produced numerous musical video products, including: recordings of live performances by the Company's artists, such as Ron Kenoly's videos "We Offer Praises", "Majesty", "High Places" and "Welcome Home"; and the Gold-certified videos "Lift Him Up", "God is Able" and "Sing Out", the first Hosanna! Title to appear on Billboard's Top 40 Music Video Chart. The popular children's music series Just-For-Kids(R), featuring the Donut Man(R), includes ten Gold-certified and three Platinum-certified videos. Other videos include the Gold-certified Praise! Aerobics(R), praise and worship music recorded specifically for aerobic exercises and "Woman Thou Art Loosed" with T. D. Jakes. Other products include Integrity Music Worship Software(R), designed to assist music ministers in the selection of songs (over 5,000 featured), planning rehearsals and services, and reviewing song usage tracking. The Company, in partnership with two other praise and worship music companies, has also produced the Platinum certified "WoW Worship (Blue)" and the Gold certified "WoW Worship (Orange)", as well as the Songs 4 Worship series produced in conjunction with Time Life Music, which includes the Gold certified "Songs 4 Worship - Shout To The Lord", the first release in the series. Integrity's Christian music products also include printed music such as songbooks and sheet music designed primarily for distribution to churches and choral groups. The Company produces "God With Us", winner of the Gospel Music Association Dove Award in April 1994 for best musical and still on the best sellers list on the non-seasonal musical charts for seven years running. "God For Us", "Let Your Glory Fall" and "Hillsongs Choral Collection" ranked among the top 10 in the non-seasonal musical and adult collection charts. "We Believe" and "Redeemer, Savior, Friend" ranked among the top 10 in the youth musical non-seasonal charts. The musicals were ranked by The Church Music Report ("TCMR"). Other printed music products include orchestrations and "The Celebration Hymnal", a joint venture with Word Entertainment, featuring over 700 songs and hymns. Sales of this hymn book have exceeded one million units in less than four years. PRODUCT CREATION The Company's product development process is based upon the creation of new concept or artist products that are designed, scripted and marketed to respond to a specific demand. Integrity conducts a planning process for each new product in order to determine whether the final product is likely to be successful in the market for which it is designed. New product concepts are based on responses to surveys of the Company's current customer base as well as other market and product research conducted by the Company and by independent consultants. Once a new product concept has been identified, the concept is reviewed and discussed by representatives of Integrity's creative, marketing and finance divisions. If the product concept is approved by that group, then Integrity assembles a creative team which includes one or more artists and producers, generally employed on a freelance or contract basis, along with members of Integrity's creative division. Following the development of the product concept, the product is recorded in live settings at churches or civic auditoriums, in independent studios in cities such as Los Angeles, California or Nashville, Tennessee, or at Integrity's studio in Mobile, Alabama. A significant amount of recording is done in independent studios. The studios in Mobile, Alabama are mainly used as a post-production facility where the recordings are edited and mixed. The manufacturers receive the master recordings from Integrity in digital format and then produce a master to be used in the manufacturing process. The Company reviews the final manufacturing master prior to production to ensure that the quality of the recording has been maintained. 2

DISTRIBUTION The Company distributes its products domestically through two primary channels: direct to consumer and retail markets. In addition, the Company has an international distribution network that reaches markets in 161 countries. Direct To Consumer The Company's direct to consumer activities are based on a variety of methods designed to reach the consumer directly. Among the methods are continuity clubs, through which the member receives a selection every six to eight weeks and is billed for each selection. Shipments continue until the Company is instructed to cancel the membership. This differs from certain other music clubs in which members have a "negative option" allowing them to decline monthly selections before they are mailed and in which their only obligation is to purchase a certain number of products over a stated period of time. The Company rents mailing lists of potential direct-to-consumer customers that includes subscribers to Christian magazines, purchasers of Christian mail order products and donors to Christian ministries. When available, the Company obtains new mailing lists to conduct a one-time solicitation of an approved direct mailing. Once a response is received by Integrity, the customer's name is added to the Company's own mailing list. Integrity also builds its direct-to-consumer database through space advertisements in Christian magazines, television advertising and Internet marketing. The Company's first continuity club, Hosanna! Music(R) has just produced its 105th recording. Currently the Company operates several continuity clubs, including the Integrity Notes(R) series. The clubs are launched with a mailing of a new product announcement and solicitation to as many as 500,000 people. After the initial mailing, the Company postpones further direct mail solicitation campaigns for up to six months, utilizing the time to study the response and evaluate the sustainability of the initial members. If the initial membership proves to be sustainable based on product shipments, the Company will roll out the club in an extensive direct mail effort to an average of 900,000 people. In addition to continuity clubs, the Company's direct-to-consumer program includes mail order catalog sales, telemarketing, one-time offers to active customers, television offers and sales through the Internet. The mail order catalog and telemarketing programs are designed to increase sales to the Company's current customers by increasing their awareness of Integrity's full line of products, as well as to develop new customers for Integrity products. The direct-to-consumer segment also includes direct sales to churches of printed products, including "The Celebration Hymnal", which features over 700 songs and hymns, introduced in 1997 in a joint venture with Word Entertainment. Retail Markets Integrity's retail sales activities are targeted at two markets, the Christian bookstore ("CBA") market which includes sales of choral music products, and the general retail market. The Company currently utilizes Word Entertainment ("Word") to serve these markets. All CBA orders are fulfilled through Word, which is responsible for warehousing Integrity's products, which are shipped and invoiced based on orders received directly from Word's sales force through a computerized order entry system. Word services the Company's customers from one warehouse located in Tennessee. During 2000, SoundScan ranked Word as the number two distribution company in the CBA market. SoundScan also ranked Integrity as the number two record label in CBA for three consecutive years. The distribution agreement with Word also offers the Company access to the Sony/Epic distribution system for sales in the general market. Retail sales efforts are supported by Integrity's own in-house staff for marketing, covering such things as point-of-purchase advertising, radio promotion, and product publicity. The Company also utilizes the marketing expertise of several outside marketing firms. International The Company's international sales are made through a subsidiary located in the United Kingdom, responsible for Europe; a subsidiary located in Australia, responsible for Australia, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands; a subsidiary located in Singapore, responsible for Singapore and Myanmar; and an office located at the Company's headquarters in Mobile, Alabama, responsible for Latin America. In addition, products are sold to more than 60 independent distributors who are licensed to manufacture Integrity products from master recordings and 3
10-K4055th Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
distribute them in a country or region and approximately 18 importers to whom the Company provides products. The Company's international distribution network reaches markets in 161 countries. The Company continually evaluates ways to expand into various markets through importers or through distributors licensed to produce Integrity products from a master recording. For specific financial information regarding the geographic areas that the Company's international distribution network reaches, see Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company also develops products specifically for certain markets. This effort includes recording songs in indigenous languages as well as utilizing local artists and local songs to produce the recordings. Integrity currently produces products in the Russian, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Portuguese and Indonesian languages. Integrity artists are also involved in live performance tours to various countries. MUSIC PUBLISHING The Company's song catalog has accumulated ownership rights for over 2,700 songs and has generated a significant amount of royalty income from use by third parties. A majority of the songs appearing on Integrity recordings are published out of the Company's song catalog. Integrity emphasizes the development and maintenance of its song catalog. Songs are selectively added to the song catalog based on the concept or theme of a specific product design or because the Company believes that the songs have the potential to be a part of a future Integrity product. The Company believes that its efforts have produced a distinctive Christian song catalog whose titles are used not only on recorded media and radio and television programming, but also in church services. The Company licenses the use of its songs to churches and other choral groups through Christian Copyright Licensing, Inc. ("CCLI"). Through CCLI, churches and choral groups in the United States are able to pay one licensing fee for the use of numerous Christian music copyrights. The Company is paid a percentage of the licensing fees collected by CCLI based on CCLI's estimates of the percentage of Integrity songs utilized by the churches and choral groups. WAREHOUSING AND FULFILLMENT Integrity currently contracts with Word for its retail market warehousing, physical inventory and distribution functions. Word is one of several companies that provide this service in the CBA market. All retail market sales functions are currently performed by Word's sales force. Many direct-to-consumer fulfillment services, excluding warehousing and physical inventory functions, for Integrity's direct to consumer programs are provided by Client Logic located in Clifton, New Jersey. Some of the order entry and data fulfillment services for direct to consumer are handled by Integrity's own staff in Mobile. In addition to managing most of the Company's database of customer names, Client Logic also provides most of the fulfillment activities of the direct-to-consumer operation, including order receipt and processing, data entry, invoicing and payment processing. Integrity's own distribution center located in Mobile is responsible for its direct-to-consumer and international warehousing, physical inventory and distribution functions. COPYRIGHTS AND ROYALTY AGREEMENTS The Company's music products are protected under applicable domestic and international copyright laws. In addition, Integrity currently has ownership rights to approximately 2,700 songs, which are also protected under copyright law. In general, works that are protected under copyright laws are proprietary, which means that for a fixed period of time the copyright owner has the exclusive right to control the publication (or other reproduction) of the copyrighted work. Subject to the compulsory licensing provisions of the United States Copyright Act covering audio records, a copyright owner may license others to publish, reproduce, or otherwise use its copyrighted work, on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, subject to limitations (such as duration and territory) and upon such other terms and conditions, including royalty payments, as the copyright owner may require. Despite these protections, the Company's revenues may be adversely affected by the unauthorized reproduction of recordings for commercial sale, commonly referred to as "piracy" and by home taping for personal use. Integrity pays royalties in two different categories. The Integrity songwriters are paid by Integrity's publishing division when their songs are used on an Integrity product or by other companies when used on third party products. Artists, producers and other song publishers are paid based on Integrity's sales of products containing their works. Integrity owns the majority of the songs it produces, and does not have to pay publisher royalties to third parties for those songs. 4

SEASONALITY Retail sales are typically higher in the third and fourth quarters because of holiday promotions. Direct to consumer sales are typically higher in the first quarter as a result of significant marketing promotions in late December. Direct to consumer promotions require a build up in inventory in the fourth quarter and as a result, sales and accounts receivable increase in the first quarter. It is important to note that sales from quarter to quarter depend heavily on marketing promotions and new product releases. Accordingly, results of operations in any one quarter may not be indicative of results of operations for the entire year. COMPETITION The Company faces intense competition for discretionary consumer spending from numerous other record companies and other forms of entertainment offered by film companies, video companies and others. Integrity competes directly with other record companies and music publishers that distribute Christian music to Christian bookstores, as well as a number of secular record companies. Many of the Company's competitors have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. The Company competes on the basis of the Company's ability to produce new products that are attractive to consumers, sign established and new artists and songwriters and gain access to distribution channels. Many of the Company's competitors have significantly longer operating histories and greater revenues from their music product lines. The Company's ability to continue to compete successfully will be largely dependent upon its ability to build and maintain its reputation for quality Christian music and other communication products. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2000, the Company employed 168 individuals, 134 of whom are located at the Company's Mobile, Alabama, headquarters. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements covering any of its employees, has never experienced any material labor disruption and is unaware of any efforts or plans to organize its employees. The Company considers relations with its employees to be good. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The Company's direct to consumer program is subject to federal regulations governing unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts and practices in or affecting commerce. These regulations generally prohibit the solicitation of any order for sale of merchandise through the mail unless at the time of solicitation the seller has a reasonable basis to expect that he will be able to ship the merchandise within the time period indicated or within thirty days if no time period is indicated. If there is any delay in the applicable time period, the regulations require the seller to give the buyer the option to cancel the order and receive a prompt refund or consent to a delay in shipment. Management believes that the Company is in full compliance with the applicable federal regulations governing its direct to consumer programs. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. The Company owns a 25,000 square foot headquarters and studio facility in Mobile, Alabama, which houses its executive offices, management and sales staff. This facility was constructed in 1983 and is pledged as security for the Company's indebtedness. The Company leases a 30,000 square foot building located in Mobile, Alabama, which houses its distribution and warehousing center. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings that management believes will have a material effect on Integrity's business, financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY-HOLDERS. No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2000. 5

Integrity has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock or any other of its securities. The current policy of Integrity's Board of Directors is to retain any future earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of Integrity's business, and, therefore, the Board of Directors does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, Integrity's ability to pay dividends is limited by its existing credit agreement and may be limited in the future by the terms of then-existing credit facilities. See Note 6 to the financial statements. The Company's Class A Common Stock was listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective October 2, 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. During February 2001, management determined that certain adjustments were necessary to the prior year's financial statements. See Footnote 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed explanation and discussion of the impact of these adjustments. As a result of these adjustments, the Company has revised the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998, 1999, and interim periods of 2000 and 1999. OVERVIEW The Company is a media-communications company that chiefly produces, publishes and distributes Christian music. It is a producer and publisher of Christian lifestyle products developed to facilitate worship, entertainment and education. The Company's recorded music products fall into two broad categories: concept products and artist products. Concept products are centered on a specific theme, such as praise and worship, and artist products are those in which the artist is the focal point. Some of the Company's concept product lines are Hosanna! Music(R), Urban Praise(R), FairHope Records(R) and Just-For-Kids(R). The Company has several artists under contract, including leaders in Christian music such as Don Moen, Ron Kenoly, Paul Wilbur, Tommy Walker, Gary Oliver, Darrell Evans and Paul Baloche. In addition to audio recordings, Integrity produces Christian music video and DVD products, printed music such as songbooks and sheet music and software. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's distribution channels. These distribution channels are Retail, Direct to Consumers, International and Other channels. The Retail channel primarily represents sales to Christian bookstores through Word Distribution, special event sales, sales of choral products and to the general market through Sony. Direct to Consumers primarily represents sales from direct mail programs but also includes Internet sales, television sales and sales of print products directly to churches, including sales of the Celebration Hymnal through a joint venture controlled by the Company. The International channel represents an international distribution network that reaches markets in 161 countries. All transactions with foreign entities, whether they are shipped from the United States or one of the Company's three subsidiaries in Singapore, the United Kingdom and Australia are reported in the segment. Christian bookstores are the primary distribution channel for this segment, but there are also direct mail and other techniques used for these markets. The Other segment includes copyright revenue and other distribution sales. The following historical analysis shows the percentage of sales by segment: [Download Table] 2000 1999 1998 ------ ------ ------ Direct to Consumer 30.9% 27.8% 30.6% Retail Markets 50.1% 49.2% 41.8% International 14.5% 16.0% 16.5% Other 4.5% 7.0% 11.1% The Direct to Consumer segment, as a percent of total sales, increased largely due to the sales to Time Life for the Songs 4 Worship continuity program. As a result, the International and Other segments decreased as a percent of total sales, although International net sales increased slightly for the year as compared to 1999. The Company's operating results may fluctuate significantly due to new product introductions, the timing of selling and marketing expenses, seasonality and changes in sales and product mixes. 8

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth consolidated operating results expressed as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated and the percentage change in such operating results between periods. [Download Table] Percentage of Net Sales Year Ended December 31 2000 1999 1998 ------ ------ ------ Net Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Sales 52.2% 49.1% 47.0% Gross Profit 47.8% 50.9% 53.0% Marketing and Fulfillment Expenses 20.3% 23.0% 23.2% General and Administrative Expenses 20.6% 21.5% 22.0% Income from operations before taxes and minority interest 4.8% 4.3% 3.8% THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 ("2000") COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 ("1999") Net sales increased 14.3% to $51.8 million in 2000 from $45.3 million in 1999. The increases were mainly attributable to increases in the Direct to Consumer and Retail Market segments. Major new releases in 2000 included WoW Worship Orange and Songs 4 Worship "Shout To the Lord". In 2000, new products accounted for 2.7 million units, or 42.3% of the total units sold. The new products released in 2000 featured several of Integrity's best-selling artists such as Don Moen, Paul Wilbur, Lincoln Brewster and Gary Oliver, as well as new Integrity artist Tommy Walker. Three of the best selling albums of the year were WoW Worship Blue, WoW Worship Orange and Songs 4 Worship "Shout To The Lord". All three of the albums are compilations of the "best" praise and worship songs. The WoW albums were created in partnership with two other Christian praise and worship song providers. WoW Orange (released in 2000) and WoW Blue (released in 1999) continue to have a very strong market presence. Songs 4 Worship is a continuity series of praise and worship compilations developed in partnership with Time Life Music. The Songs 4 Worship continuity series, released in the fourth quarter of 2000, according to Time Life "generated the strongest initial response for a music product launch in Time Life Music's history." In the first 90 days of release, over 500,000 consumers joined Time Life's continuity series. Due to the success of the Songs 4 Worship series and the WoW albums, substantial progress was made in 2000 in broadening the overall market for Praise and Worship Music. As the leader in this genre, Integrity should benefit from this increased exposure. Due primarily to the success of Time Life's Songs 4 Worship continuity program, sales in the Direct to Consumer segment increased 27.2% to $16.0 million in 2000 from $12.6 million in 1999. Due to the success of the WoW Worship albums, sales in the Retail segment increased 16.5% to $26.0 million in 2000 from $22.3 million in 1999. Total WoW sales were $7.5 million in 2000 as compared to $3.8 million in 1999. Revenues in the International segment increased 3.8% to $7.5 million in 2000 from $7.2 million in 1999 due primarily to increases in the Latin America division. Other international divisions and subsidiaries were impacted negatively by changes in foreign exchange rates and increased local competitive pressures. Management expects these competitive pressures to continue in many of its foreign markets in 2001. Revenues in the Other segment increased 8.9% to $7.3 million in 2000 from $6.7 million in 1999 due primarily to additional copyright royalties generated from the increase in product sales and third party use. Bad debts and returns were $4.8 million in 2000 and $5.1 million in 1999. Gross profit increased 7.3% to $24.7 million in 2000 from $23.1 million in 1999 due primarily to the increases in revenue discussed previously. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 47.8% and 50.9% for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased sales of the WoW albums and the Songs 4 Worship continuity which have lower margins. The gross profit percentage in the Direct to Consumer segment declined to 47.5% in 2000 from 53.3% in 1999. The decline is attributable to Songs 4 Worship sales whose gross margins are lower as the Company sells the product to Time Life at a wholesale price. The gross profit percentage in the Retail segment declined to 45.2% in 2000 from 48.6% in 1999 due primarily to the increased sales of the WoW albums. Because the WoW albums were created in partnership with two other record 9

companies, the Company's margin is lower due to higher royalties. The gross profit percentage in the International segment declined slightly to 58.0% in 2000 from 58.6% in 1999. Additionally, reductions in the carrying value of product masters as a result of management's periodic estimates of the eventual recoupment of production costs increased to $894,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $640,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. These amounts are included in cost of sales, but are not specifically allocated to the segments. The Company's gross margins are generally higher in the Direct to Consumer segment where sales are generally at retail value. However, the Songs 4 Worship release is sold to Time Life at a wholesale value and significantly lowers the gross margin for this segment. The retail segment's gross margin is impacted by the sales mix of distributed and artists products, which generally have lower gross margins than concept products. Sales of concept products made up 62% and 78% of the retail segment's sales in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management expects the trend towards more artists products to continue in 2001. Management expects consolidated gross margins in 2001 to be consistent with 2000 results. The following table shows the gross margin by operating segment: [Download Table] Year Ended December 31 2000 1999 Gross margin Retail 45.2% 48.6% Direct to Consumer 47.5% 53.3% International 58.0% 58.6% Other 18.4% 20.5% Consolidated 47.8% 50.9% Operating profit in the Direct to Consumer segment increased 106% to $3.0 million in 2000 from $1.5 million in 1999, due to Songs 4 Worship sales mentioned earlier and due to lower marketing and fulfillment costs in 2000 versus 1999 in this segment. Though the Songs 4 Worship sales to Time Life had a negative impact to Direct to Consumer's gross margin as a percentage of sales, the Company bears no marketing and fulfillment expenses related to this revenue. Operating profit in the Retail segment increased 2.2% to $4.4 million in 2000 from $4.3 million in 1999. Though retail gross margins rose $0.9 million in 2000 compared to 1999, most of this benefit was offset by increases in retail marketing and fulfillment expenses resulting from the higher level of sales. As a percentage of sales, marketing and fulfillment expenses in the retail segment declined to 24.5% in 2000 from 25.5% in 1999. Operating profit in the International segment decreased 9.8% to $1.7 million in 2000 from $1.8 million in 1999. The net decrease is a result of a slight increase in International's gross margin offset by larger increases in applicable general and administrative expenses in 2000 compared to 1999. The increase in the International segment's general and administrative expenses for 2000 is due to additional expenditures for market development and personnel additions. The Operating profit in the Other segment decreased $638,000, or 59.6%, due to increases in marketing and fulfillment expenses not charged to specific segments and due to amount charged to expense for record masters that do not appear to be fully recoverable. Marketing and fulfillment expenses increased 0.9% to $10.5 million in 2000 from $10.4 million in 1999. As a percentage of sales, however, marketing and fulfillment expenses decreased to 20.3% in 2000 from 23.0% in 1999. The Company negotiated a reduction in its fulfillment rate that was effective for 2000. The aggregate dollar amount of marketing and fulfillment expenses increased as a result of higher fulfillment expenses due to higher volumes in the Retail segment. These higher volumes were offset partially by the benefit of a reduction in the fulfillment services rate being charged. Also offsetting the increase were lower marketing costs due to fewer direct mail campaigns in the Direct to Consumer segment. The primary reason for the decline as a percent of sales is that Songs 4 Worship sales in the Direct to Consumer segment bear no marketing or fulfillment expenses when the Company sells directly to Time Life. General and administrative expenses increased 9.7% to $10.7 million in 2000 from $9.8 million in 1999. The increase was due to several new positions, company wide cost of living increases and certain professional fees. Also included in these amounts is approximately $0.3 million from the International segment. The additional personnel were needed to support the anticipated growth of the Company. As a result of the above, income from operations increased 22.4% to $3.6 million in 2000 from $2.9 million in 1999. As a percentage of sales, operating income increased to 6.9% in 2000 from 6.4% in 1999. 10
10-K40512th Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 12th
Interest expense decreased to $0.9 million in 2000 from $1.3 million in 1999. The decrease was a result of lower average indebtedness in 2000. Other income in 1999 included a favorable insurance settlement of $300,000. The Company recorded a net expense for income taxes during 2000 of approximately $600,000 compared to $481,000 in 1999. During 2000, the Company's effective tax rate was 24.1%, which reflected the benefit of certain foreign and AMT (alternative minimum tax) tax credits. The effective rate in 1999 was 24.5%, which reflected the benefit of a $180,000 reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred taxes. THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 ("1999") COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 ("1998") Net sales increased 16.7% to $45.3 million in 1999 from $38.8 million in 1998, mainly attributable to a 37.2% increase in the retail segment to $22.3 million in 1999 from $16.2 million in 1998. Unit sales increased by 6% to 7.1 million in 1999 from 6.7 million in 1998 due to 63 major releases, including WoW Worship and Shout To The Lord 2000, and strong product catalog sales from prior releases such as Shout To The Lord and Jerusalem Arise. In 1999, new products accounted for 2.4 million units, or 33.8% of the total units sold. The new products offered were from existing product lines as well as new product lines featuring several of Integrity's best-selling artists, such as Don Moen, Ron Kenoly and Paul Wilbur. One of our best selling albums for the year was WoW Worship, a collection of the best selling praise and worship songs, created in partnership with Maranatha! and Vineyard. Total WoW sales were $3.8 million in 1999 as compared to $0 million in 1998. Sales in the direct to consumer segment increased 5.8% to $12.6 million, compared to $11.9 million in 1998 due to increased sales of Integrity Notes, a greeting card continuity club. Direct to consumer sales were negatively impacted by approximately $0.2 million during the year due to adjustments to correct an inadvertent overstatement of shipping and handling revenue related to system modifications carried out in 1998. This situation, which affected only one portion of the Company's direct to consumer segment, had no impact on customers, has been rectified, and had an immaterial impact on all prior periods. Revenues from the international segment increased 13.2% to $7.2 million from $6.4 million in 1998, mainly due to strong increases in Australia and the U.K. However, because of the 37.2% increase in the retail segment, international sales as a percent of total sales decreased to 16.0% from 16.5% in 1998. Sales from the Other segment increased from $6.5 million to $6.7 million due largely to increases in copyright revenues, which increased from $6.0 million in 1998 to $6.6 million in 1999. Bad debts and returns were $5.1 million in 1999 as compared to $4.9 million in 1998. Gross profit increased 12.0% to $23.1 million in 1999 from $20.6 million in 1998 due primarily to revenue increases discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 50.9% and 53.0% for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of the sales mix including a higher portion of distributed and artist products, which have lower gross margin percentages, than the comparable period in 1998. The gross margin percentages in the retail segment were negatively impacted with the sales of WoW Worship. Although the album has generated significant revenues, it was created in partnership with two other record companies, and, as a result, the Company's margin percentage is significantly lower due to higher royalties. Gross profit in the direct to consumer segment was negatively impacted by approximately $200,000 as a result of the billing adjustments discussed above. Management expects that the sales mix is likely to continue to focus in the retail segment, which may keep gross margin percentages lower than in previous years. Reductions in the carrying value of product masters as a result of management's periodic estimates of the eventual recoupment of production costs aggregated $640,000 and $700,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Such amounts are included in cost of sales, but are not specifically allocated to the segments. Operating profit in the retail segment grew 27.0% to $4.3 million during 1999 from $3.4 million due to the revenue increases discussed above, resulting from several major product releases during the year, including the WoW Worship and Shout To The Lord 2000. Operating costs related to the retail segment, principally fulfillment expenses, were consistent with the increase in sales. The lower gross margin in the retail segment discussed above also contributed to the results for the segment. Operating profit from the direct to consumer segment decreased 44.3% to $1.5 million during 1999 from $2.6 million as a result of the $200,000 billing adjustment discussed above and increased direct marketing costs associated with new continuity products. Operating profit in the international segment grew 27.9% to $1.8 million during 1999 from $1.4 million due to continued steady growth in sales (13%). Operating profit in the Other segment decreased $459,000 due to higher royalties and additional masters amortization. 11

Marketing and fulfillment expenses increased 15.3% to $10.4 million or 23.0% of net sales in 1999 as compared with $9.0 million or 23.2% of net sales in 1998. This increase was primarily associated with higher sales levels. General and administrative expenses increased 14.0% to $9.8 million or 21.5% of net sales in 1999, compared to $8.6 million or 22.0% of net sales in 1998. The increase in expenses was mainly attributable to increases in personnel costs required to support the growth in the business including the addition of new positions arising from the Company's expansion both internationally and in new distribution channels. As a result of the above, income from operations was $2.9 million or 6.4% of net sales in 1999, compared with $3.0 million or 7.8% of net sales in 1998. Interest expense decreased to $1.3 million in 1999 compared with $1.5 million in 1998. The decrease was a result of lower average indebtedness in 1999. Other income in 1999 also includes a favorable insurance settlement of $300,000. The Company recorded a net expense for income taxes during 1999 of approximately $481,000 which included a $180,000 benefit for a reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. During 1998, the Company recorded a net benefit from income taxes of approximately $467,000 primarily as a result of a $785,000 reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The reductions in the valuation allowance were the result of management's revised expectations relative to the ability to generate future taxable income. In fact, during 1999, the Company utilized substantially all of the deferred tax assets associated with net operating loss carry-forwards, tax credits and other carry-forward attributes. There was no valuation allowance remaining at December 31, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company historically has financed its operations through cash generated from operations and from borrowings under a line of credit and term notes as needed. The Company's need for cash varies from quarter to quarter based on product releases and scheduled marketing promotions. The Company's principal uses of cash historically have been the production and recording of product masters to build the Company's product master library and debt service. It is from these product masters that the Company's products are duplicated and distributed to customers. The Company believes that its working capital and funds available under its credit facility will be sufficient to fund its operating and capital requirements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and beyond. Cash generated from operations totaled $8.9 million, $8.2 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increases from 1999 to 2000 and 1998 to 1999 resulted primarily from improved operating results. Investing activities used $3.9 million, $3.1 million and $4.7 million of cash in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Capital expenditures totaled $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During 2000, 1999 and 1998, capital expenditures were primarily for computer equipment and general improvements on the Company's corporate headquarters. The Company also invested $4.1 million, $3.4 million and $4.2 million in new product masters during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company expects its investments in capital expenditures and product masters during 2001 to remain relatively consistent with 2000 levels. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company sold its Animation Video masters at book value for $2 million. The Company received payment of $1 million during fourth quarter 1999, with the remaining $1 million received during 2000 in four equal installments of $250,000. The proceeds have been used to reduce the Company's debt position. The Company's $19 million financing agreement includes a $6 million revolving credit facility and $13 million term loan. At the Company's option, and as of September 1, 2000, the loan carries an interest rate of the bank's base rate plus 0.75%, or LIBOR plus 2%. Prior to September 2000, the interest rate was the bank's base rate plus 1 1/2% or LIBOR plus 3%. The lender holds 818,897 warrants with an exercise price of $1.875 that are exercisable into the Company's Class A common stock and expire in 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company made net payments of $4.9 million, $4.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, under such agreements. At December 31, 2000, the Company had available borrowings of $4.1 million under such agreements. The Company's minimum payments due in 2001 related to its borrowings are $2.2 million, however, the Company may elect to make additional payments. Also during 2000, the Company paid $400,000 as a distribution to the Hymnal joint venture partner. As discussed in 12

Note 2, during the fourth quarter of 2000, adjustments were made to prior periods and prior year financial statements. In light of these adjustments, all loan covenants for prior periods were reviewed and the Company found that certain covenants were violated. The Company has received waivers for those violations and is currently in compliance with all debt covenants at December 31, 2000. Management has been in discussions with several banking institutions interested in refinancing its credit facilities and providing expanded credit facilities during 2001. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." This SAB summarizes certain of the staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. Accordingly, guidance is provided with respect to the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in the financial statements. Adoption of SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 101A, "Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" and SAB No. 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," was effective for the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company's adoption of this SAB did not materially affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). This accounting standard, which is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000,requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at estimated fair value. In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133. This accounting standard amended the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. The January 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company does not enter into any derivative or related instruments, and the Company does not engage in any hedging activities related to foreign currency transactions. In September 2000, the EITF reached a final consensus on Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs," which requires amounts charged to customers for shipping and handling to be classified as revenue. In addition, the Issue established that the classification of shipping and handling costs is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, "Disclosure of Accounting Policies." If shipping and handling costs are significant and are not included in cost of sales, a company should disclose both the amount of such costs and which line item on the income statement includes that amount. This Issue is applicable no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15,1999. The Company's current accounting policies conform with this new guidance. In November 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a final consensus on Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting for Coupons, Rebates and Discounts" that addresses the recognition, measurement, and income statement classification for sales incentives offered voluntarily by a vendor without charge to customers that can be used in, or that are exercisable by a customer as a result of, a single exchange transaction. This Issue is applicable no later than in annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999, or financial statements for the first quarter beginning after March 15, 2001,whichever is later. The Company believes that adoption of this Issue will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," an Interpretation of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. This interpretation was intended to clarify certain problems that have arisen in practice since the issuance of APB Opinion No. 25 in October 1972. It specifically answers certain questions and provides guidance on the implementation of APB Opinion No. 25. The adoption of this interpretation did not have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 13

INFLATION The impact of inflation on the Company's operating results has been moderate in recent years, reflecting generally lower rates of inflation in the economy and relative stability in the Company's cost of sales. While inflation has not had, and the Company does not expect that it will have, a material impact upon operating results, inflation may affect the Company's business in the future. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE Due to its remediation efforts, the Company has not experienced any disruptions in its business because of Year 2000 related computer issues, including leap year related failures. Further, the Company has not experienced any disruptions in its business because of disruptions related to these issues experienced by its suppliers, distributors, contractors or other service providers. The total cost of the Company's Year 2000 remediation effort was less than $40,000 and was not material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. These costs were primarily in the form of compensation and benefits of internal employees working on the Company's Year 2000 remediation effort and were expensed as incurred. The actual cost of the remediation was materially consistent with its projected costs. RISK FACTORS OUR COMPETITION INCLUDES OTHER MUSIC COMPANIES AND GENERAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES We face intense competition for discretionary consumer spending from numerous other music companies and entertainment companies that utilize various formats, including audio recordings, film, video, and other media. Our products compete directly with the products of other record companies and music publishers that distribute Christian music to Christian bookstores, as well as a number of secular music companies. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources than we have. This provides them with the ability to launch more new products, spend more on marketing those products, and pay more to artists and songwriters for new music and songs. Our ability to continue to compete successfully will be largely dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and launch new products that build upon and maintain our reputation for quality Christian music and other communication products. OUR INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO CONSUMER TASTES AND DEMANDS We operate in the recorded music, video productions and printed music industries. These industries involve a substantial degree of risk. Each music or video recording or printed product is an individual artistic work. Consumer taste, which is unpredictable and constantly changing, primarily determines the commercial success of any such work. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the financial success of any particular release, the timing of such success, or the popularity of any particular artist. Furthermore, we must invest significant amounts for product development prior to the release of any product. These costs may not be recovered if the release is unsuccessful. Changes in the timing of new releases can also cause significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results because of the marketing costs involved in launching a new product and the delay in receiving any sales revenue from the new product. There can be no assurance that our products will be successful releases or that any product will generate revenues sufficient to cover the cost of product development. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." 14

COMPETITION FROM INTERNET RETAILERS AND "NAPSTER-STYLE COMPANIES" MAY IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS The emergence of Internet, peer-to-peer, and MP3 technology, as well as file-sharing services like Napster, has facilitated the free distribution of music over the Internet and may hinder our ability to sell our products through traditional retail outlets. File-sharing technology permits the sharing of high quality music without payment to performers, songwriters and music producers. The impact this technology will have on the music industry in general and on Integrity in particular is not certain. OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON ACCESS TO DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS We distribute our products through three primary channels: - Direct to Consumer - Retail Sales; and - License Arrangements. If our access to any of these channels is interrupted, our sales could be significantly affected. The direct to consumer channel is based on a variety of methods, but primarily is composed of our continuity clubs. The performance of these clubs could be affected by a number of factors including: - the maturity of our mailing lists such that consumers no longer desire our products and cancel their participation; - our failure to expand and revise our mailing lists to include new potential customers, or the inability to secure new mailing lists from which to build ours; - our failure to offer new and appealing products to these customers; and - increases in the cost of mailing and shipping, or increased regulation of mail order sales. Currently, we rely on Word's sales force to perform all retail market sales functions for us, pursuant to a contract with them that extends through January 2004. In addition to our retail distribution channel, our international distribution channel also relies heavily on third parties to sell and deliver our products. We cannot quickly replace these third parties should they fail to perform, nor can we assume their duties in a timely manner. As a result, the failure by any of these parties to fulfill their duties effectively and efficiently will immediately and adversely affect our sales. INCREASES IN COSTS OF MAILING, PAPER, PRINTING AND DELIVERY WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE OUR COSTS OF GOODS SOLD Increases in postal rates, as well as in paper, printing and delivery costs would affect our direct response programs. We generally ship orders by third class mail with the United States Postal Service. We rely heavily on discounts from the basic postal rate structure, such as discounts for bulk mailings, sorting by zip code, and carrier routes. Any increase in postal rates, papers and printing or delivery costs could adversely affect our earnings. WE DEPEND ON OUR SENIOR EXECUTIVES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE UNIQUE TO OUR INDUSTRY Our success has been largely dependent on the skills, experience and efforts of our senior management. Although we have employment agreements with some of our senior executives, they could still choose to leave the Company at any time. If they did we would have significant difficulty replacing them with individuals who had an equal level of experience in the Christian products market. This could affect our daily operations, creative development and ultimately our financial performance. 15

OUR COMPANY IS CONTROLLED BY THE COLEMAN FAMILY Our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, P. Michael Coleman, and his family beneficially own 35,100 shares of Class A Common Stock and all 3,435,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding. This represents approximately 94.1% of the total voting power of all classes of our voting stock. As a result, Mr. Coleman is able to elect all of our directors, further amend our Amended Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amended Certificate"), effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other business acquisition or disposition, and otherwise control the outcome of actions requiring stockholder approval. THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK HAS LIMITED VOTING RIGHTS Our Amended Certificate limits the voting rights of our Class A Common Stock. Each share of our Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote, while each share of our Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters with respect to which our stockholders have a right to vote. Both classes of our stock generally vote together as a single class. The shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a share-for-share basis at the election of the holder. Also, our Class B Common Stock must be converted to shares of Class A Common Stock automatically if it is transferred, except for transfers to or for the benefit of certain of Mr. Coleman's relatives. We do not have the authority to issue additional Class B Common Stock except as dividends or distributions on outstanding Class B Common Stock proportional to dividends or distributions on Class A Common Stock. The disproportionate voting rights between our classes of stock could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock. The disproportionate voting rights may also make us a less attractive target for a takeover than we otherwise might be, and render more difficult or discourage a merger proposal, a tender offer, or a proxy contest even if such actions were favored by holders of our Class A Common Stock. Holders of Class A Common Stock may be deprived of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over the then prevailing market price due to the disproportionate voting rights between the two classes of stock. CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF OUR AMENDED CERTIFICATE COULD DISCOURAGE A TAKE-OVER OF INTEGRITY Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors, without approval of the stockholders, is also authorized to establish the following provisions of any preferred stock: voting, dividend, redemption, conversion, liquidation, and other provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Further, the issuance of preferred stock could make more difficult, or discourage, a third party's attempt to acquire control of us. Finally, we are also subject to the Delaware Business Combination Statute, which may render more difficult a change in our control. THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE VOLATILE From time to time there may be significant volatility in the market price of the Class A Common Stock. Our quarterly operating results or those of other similar companies, changes in the conditions in the economy or the financial markets, projections and statements by industry analysts or other third parties could cause the price of the Class A Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. 16

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The Company's market risk is limited to fluctuations in interest rates as it pertains to the Company's borrowings under its credit facility. As of September 1, 2000, the Company pays interest on borrowings at either the lender's base rate plus 0.75%, or LIBOR plus 2%. Prior to September 2000, the interest rate was the bank's base rate plus 1 1/2% or LIBOR plus 3%. If the interest rates on the Company's borrowings average 100 basis points more in 2001 than they did in 2000, the Company's interest expense would increase and income before income taxes would decrease by $68,000. This amount is determined solely by considering the impact of the hypothetical change in the interest rate on the Company's borrowing cost without consideration for other factors such as actions management might take to mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes. The Company is also exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company does not use any hedging transactions in order to modify the risk from these foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations. The Company also does not use financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to any leveraged derivatives. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. The response to this item is submitted in Part IV, Item 14 of this report. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. Not applicable. 17

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Integrity Incorporated In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under item 14(a)(1) on page 18, after the restatement described in Note 2, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrity Incorporated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under item 14(a)(2) on page 18 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

INTEGRITY INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Integrity Incorporated (the "Company") is engaged in the production, distribution and publishing of music cassette tapes and compact discs, print music and related products, primarily by direct to consumer marketing and wholesale trade methods. A principal direct to consumer marketing method of distribution is continuity programs whereby subscribers receive products at regular intervals. Integrity Music Europe Limited was formed in 1988, Integrity Music PTY Limited was formed in 1991 and Integrity Media Asia Pte Ltd was formed in 1995. These subsidiaries serve to expand the Company's presence in Western Europe; Australia and New Zealand; and Singapore, respectively, and all are wholly-owned by the Company. Celebration Hymnal LLC was formed in 1997 as a 50/50 joint venture with Word Entertainment, for the purpose of producing and promoting The Celebration Hymnal. Due to the Company's ability to control the venture, Word Entertainment's interest in the joint venture is presented as minority interest in these financial statements. The Company's significant accounting policies are as follows: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company controls the operations of the joint venture through its majority position on the Board of Directors of The Celebration Hymnal LLC. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized at the time title passes to the customer. Provision for sales returns and allowances are made in the period in which the related products are shipped based on estimates derived from historical data. The allowance represents the gross sales price and is recorded in the period in which the related products are shipped. The returns allowance is presented, along with the allowance for doubtful accounts, as a reduction of accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements. Generally, revenue earned from licensing the use of songs in the Company's song catalogs is recognized as payments are received from licensees. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits with banks and financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use and which have original maturities of three months or less. INVENTORIES Inventories, which consist principally of finished goods such as compact discs, cassette tapes, videos and print products, are stated at the lower of average cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. MARKETING COSTS The Company incurs marketing costs utilizing various media to generate direct sales to customers. Marketing expenditures that benefit future periods are capitalized and charged to operations using the straight-line method over a period of six months, which approximates the period during which the related sales are expected to be realized. Other marketing costs are expensed the first time advertising takes place. Prepaid marketing costs, including artwork, printing and direct mail packages, are included in assets in the accompanying financial statements and approximated $814,000 and $525,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Marketing costs expensed for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 approximated $4,628,000, $4,609,000 and $4,455,000, respectively. FULFILLMENT COSTS Fulfillment expenses are primarily comprised of distribution fees paid to third party distributors based on a percentage of sales. The services provided by the third party distributor include sales, fulfillment and storage of the Company's product for the retail segment. Distribution fees represented approximately 58.3% of total fulfillment expense for the year ended December 31, 24
10-K40526th Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 26th
2000. Also included in fulfillment expenses are fees paid to a third party service provider on a transaction basis for data entry, generation of invoices and cash processing. Additionally, in the Direct to Consumer segment, the Company completes the distribution and shipping function internally and includes a separate surcharge to customers related to this service. These costs, which approximated $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, are recorded as a component of Cost of Sales and the related customer fee is recorded as a component of Net Sales. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The useful lives of buildings are 14 to 25 years; leasehold improvements, 2 years, which is the life of the related lease; data processing equipment, 5 years; studio equipment, 5 years; and furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, improvements and expenditures that significantly add to the productivity or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. When assets are replaced or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. PRODUCT MASTERS Product masters, which include sound and video recordings and print masters, are amortized over their future estimated useful lives, using a method that reasonably relates to the amount of net revenue expected to be realized. Management periodically reviews the product masters amortization rates and adjusts the amortization rate based on management's estimates for future sales. In conjunction with such analysis, any amounts that do not appear to be fully recoverable are charged to expense during the period the loss becomes estimable. The costs of producing a product master include the cost of the musical talent, the cost of the technical talent for engineering, directing and mixing, costs for the use of the equipment to record and produce the master and studio facility charges. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company evaluates impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets would be based on the fair value of the asset. ADVANCE ROYALTIES AND ROYALTIES PAYABLE Royalties earned by publishers, producers, songwriters, or other artists are charged to expense in the period in which the related product sale occurs. Advance royalties paid are capitalized if the past performance and current popularity of the artist to whom the advance is made demonstrates such amounts will be recoverable from future royalties to be earned by the artist. Such capitalized amounts are included as a component of product masters in the consolidated balance sheet. Any portion of advances that subsequently appear not to be recoverable from future royalties are charged to expense during the period the loss becomes evident. The amount of capitalized advance royalties aggregated $370,000 and $562,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Royalties payable are reduced for the estimated royalties that will not be paid due to product returns and bad debts. INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Management includes the consideration of future events to assess the likelihood that the tax benefits will be realized in the future. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) with the associated disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) in Note 11.

10-K40527th Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 27th
requires that companies that elect to not account for stock-based compensation as prescribed by that statement shall disclose among other things, pro forma effects on net income and net income per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equal the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by weighted average of common shares outstanding assuming issuance of potential dilutive common shares related to options, warrants, convertible debt, or other stock agreements. FOREIGN CURRENCIES Assets and liabilities at foreign subsidiaries are recorded based on their functional currencies. Amounts in foreign currencies are translated at the applicable exchange rate at the balance sheet date using the rate in effect as of the period end. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average rates applicable during the reporting period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of stockholders' equity and Comprehensive income. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value based on current rates of interest available to the Company for loans of similar maturities. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management's forecast of anticipated revenues from the sale of future and existing music, video and publishing-related products in order to evaluate the ultimate recoverability of product masters and artist advances. Management periodically reviews such estimates and it is possible that management's assessment of recoverability of product masters and artist advances may change based on actual results and other factors. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires entities to report comprehensive income which represents the change in equity during a period from non-owner sources and requires financial statement presentation with the same prominence as net income. The Company's components of comprehensive income relate solely to foreign currency translation adjustments and are presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 2. REVISIONS TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During February 2001, management determined that certain adjustments were necessary to the prior year financial statements. At Celebration Hymnal, the Company's joint venture in which the Company holds a controlling interest, management determined that an inventory adjustment was required due to the incorrect costing of certain inventory items during 1998 and 1999. As a result of this matter, cost of sales had been understated while the ending inventory balances had been overstated during 1998 and 1999. An accounts receivable and sales adjustment was also 26
10-K40528th Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
necessary at this joint venture to correct a clerical oversight that was originally recorded in the fourth quarter of 1999, which had increased sales and accounts receivable. In accordance with its contracts, and consistent with industry practice, the Company withholds a percentage of royalties due to artists, producers, and songwriters in anticipation of future product returns. Management has also determined that its previous reporting did not appropriately reflect a liability for the future payment of these royalty "hold-backs". Accordingly, the revisions to the previously reported amounts include adjustments to correct the timing of the recognition of these liabilities. None of these adjustments have impacted the Company's reported cash flows from operations. The Company has also amended all its Form 10-Q's in 2000 to reflect the matters discussed above. The impact of the revisions to the annual periods is presented below: [Enlarge/Download Table] As of and for the year ended As of and for the year ended December 31 December 31 1999 1999 1998 1998 ------- ------- ------- ------- As previously As revised As previously As revised reported reported Statement of Operations Data: Net Sales $45,571 $45,326 $38,847 $38,847 Gross Profit $23,635 $23,058 $20,862 $20,593 Income From Operations $ 3,480 $ 2,903 $ 3,282 $ 3,013 Net Income $ 1,664 $ 1,427 $ 1,854 $ 1,751 Net Income Per Share Basic $ 0.30 $ 0.26 $ 0.34 $ 0.32 Fully Diluted $ 0.28 $ 0.24 $ 0.32 $ 0.30 Balance Sheet Data: Accounts Receivable $ 6,329 $ 6,246 $ 4,913 $ 5,075 Inventory $ 4,754 $ 4,104 $ 4,528 $ 4,126 Current Assets $16,287 $15,554 $15,898 $15,658 Royalties Payable $ 774 $ 1,104 $ 569 $ 789 Current Liabilities $ 7,312 $ 7,375 $ 6,071 $ 6,122 Minority Interest $ 1,166 $ 857 $ 1,384 $ 1,316 Total Stockholders' Equity $14,750 $14,289 $12,981 $12,758 In connection with the items outlined above, the Company has also recorded a reduction of $121,000 to its retained earnings balance at January 1, 1998. This adjustment gives effect to the cumulative impact of the above noted matters on the 1997 financial statements. 3.

OTHER ASSETS Other assets consist of the following: [Download Table] December 31 (in thousands) 2000 1999 ---- ---- Music copyrights, net of accumulated amortization $1,665 $1,840 Deferred tax assets 1,004 592 Other 523 724 ------ ------ $3,192 $3,156 ====== ====== The music copyrights are being amortized over their future estimated useful lives, which is approximately fifteen years. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was approximately $969,000 and $794,000, respectively. 6. DEBT The Company's $19 million credit agreement includes a $6 million revolving credit facility (the Revolver) and $13 million term loan (the Term Loan) maturing on August 6, 2002. At the Company's option, and as of September 1, 2000, the credit agreement carries an interest rate of the bank's base rate plus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 2%. Prior to September 2000, the interest rate was the bank's base rate plus 1 1/2% or LIBOR plus 3%. At December 31, 2000, the interest rate on the $874,000 outstanding under the Revolver was 8.78% and on the $3.6 million outstanding under the Term Loan was 8.62%. At December 31, 1999, the interest rate on the $3.1 million outstanding under the Revolver was 9.12% and on the $6.25 million outstanding under the Term Loan was 8.76%. At December 31, 2000, the Company had approximately $4.1 million of available funds under the Revolver. The Company, in conjunction with the 1996 financing, issued warrants to purchase 805,288 shares of Class A Common Stock. Each warrant entitles the record holder thereof to purchase one fully paid share of Class A Common Stock (for an aggregate of 805,288 shares) or one-fourth fully paid share of convertible preferred stock (for an aggregate of 201,322 shares) at the exercise price of $1.875. These warrants became exercisable on August 6, 1998. The warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance of additional shares of common stock by the Company. On the date of issuance, the warrants had an estimated fair value of $1.73 per share or $1,393,000, which is recorded as a discount to the Revolver and Term Loan. As a result of the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock associated with certain restricted stock grants, the Company issued 13,609 additional warrants in 1999, which are immediately exercisable. The fair value of these warrants, approximately $45,000, was recorded as additional debt discount. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 28
10-K40530th Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 30th
Dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 95%, risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, and an expected term of 6.5 years. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the facility. At December 31, 2000, the book value of the discount is $403,000 net of accumulated amortization of $1.0 million. The Revolver and Term Loan contain certain restrictive covenants with respect to the Company, including, among other things, maintenance of working capital, limitations on the payments of dividends, the incurrance of additional indebtedness, certain liens and require the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged as collateral for these loans. Due to the restatement described in Note 2, all loan covenants for prior periods were reviewed and the Company found that certain covenants were violated. The Company has received waivers for these violations and is currently in compliance with these debt covenants at December 31, 2000. Aggregate principal maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2000 are as follows: [Download Table] Total Fiscal Year (in thousands) ----------- -------------- 2001 $2,188 2002 2,249 ------ $4,437 Discount 403 ------ $4,034 ====== At December 31, 2000, approximately $403,000, net of accumulated amortization of $1,033,000, of loan issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the debt agreements. 7. INCOME TAXES The components of the provision for income taxes for the three years ended December 31, 2000 are as follows: [Download Table] Year Ended December 31 (in thousands) 2000 1999 1998 ----- ----- ----- Current provision Federal $ 861 $ 55 $ 54 State 129 6 6 ----- ----- ----- 990 61 60 ----- ----- ----- Deferred provision (benefit) Federal (345) 344 (464) State (45) 76 (63) ----- ----- ----- (390) 420 (527) ----- ----- ----- Total provision (benefit) $ 600 $ 481 $(467) ===== ===== ===== The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the U. S. federal income tax rate (34%) because of the effect of the following items: [Download Table] December 31 (in thousands) 2000 1999 1998 ----- ----- ----- Income tax provision at statutory rates $ 845 $ 667 $ 504 State tax provision, net of federal taxes 59 34 26 Nondeductible expenses 56 15 15 Foreign tax impacts (260) 0 (40) Other, net (100) (55) (187) Change in valuation allowance 0 (180) (785) ----- ----- ----- Provision of (benefit) for income taxes before extraordinary item $ 600 $ 481 $(467) ===== ===== ===== Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. 29
10-K40531st Page of 40TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 31st
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows (in thousands): [Download Table] December 31 2000 1999 -------- -------- Deferred Assets Net operating loss carryforwards $ 16 $ 0 Reserves for returns and allowances, net 194 30 Impairment of building and depreciation 349 460 Write down of product masters 265 137 Hymnal income 373 246 Non compete agreement 171 246 Other 86 0 -------- -------- 1,454 1,119 -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities Prepaid marketing expenses (263) (217) Other (85) (186) -------- -------- (348) (403) -------- -------- Net deferred tax asset $ 1,106 $ 716 Current portion (102) (124) -------- -------- Long term portion $ 1,004 $ 592 ======== ======== Management believes that it is more likely than not that it will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the net deferred tax asset recorded at December 31, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company reduced its valuation allowance by $320,000 related to the utilization of previously established foreign tax credits as deductions rather than tax credits. As a result this portion of the prior year tax credits has been written off against the valuation allowance, which did not result in any impact to the results of operations. The Company reduced the remaining $180,000 valuation allowance to zero. Such reduction in the valuation allowance was the result of three consecutive years of profitability coupled with management's current projections that sufficient taxable income will realize the remaining deferred tax assets. 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Company maintains a non-contributory defined contribution Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") covering substantially all employees of the Company. An employee is eligible to participate in the Plan after one year of service, as defined. The Company did not make contributions to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2000 or 1998 as contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $91,000 to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 1999. The Company also provides a qualifying 401k Plan ("401k Plan") covering substantially all employees of the Company. An employee is eligible to participate in the 401k Plan after one year of service and is allowed to make elective contributions of up to 12% of their annual salary. Company contributions to the 401k Plan are discretionary and are determined annually by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company contributed approximately $124,000, $110,000 and $102,000 during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Board of Directors amended the 401(k) Plan in 1997 to include qualified non-elective contributions to satisfy minimum contributions. 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Integrity Worship Ministries, formerly known as Worship International ("Worship"), is a not-for-profit charitable organization, of which the principal stockholder of the Company is a member of the board of directors. The Company donated $6,470, $9,280 and $7,895 of inventory to Integrity Worship Ministries during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. One of the Company's exclusive songwriters and artists, who is also an officer of the Company, received royalties of approximately $385,000, $276,000 and $208,149 for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Amounts due to the officer at December 31, 2000 and 1999 approximate $45,000 and $83,000, respectively. Due from this officer at December 31, 2000 and 1999 is $10,500 advanced against future royalties. 30

10. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company is a multinational corporation with wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom and Singapore. Transfers between companies primarily represent inter-company export sales of U.S. produced goods and are accounted for based on established sales prices between the related companies. Intercompany sales and profits are eliminated during consolidation. In computing operating profits, certain corporate expenses, to the extent related to a segment, are charged to that segment. Marketing and fulfillment costs are also attributed to the specific segment benefited. Other expenses (income) are also included in the general corporate expenses total. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company's distribution channels. These distribution channels are Retail, Direct to consumers, International and Other channels. The Retail channel primarily represents sales to Christian bookstores, special event sales and sales of choral products through third party distributors, and sales to the general retail market. Direct to consumers primarily represents sales from direct mail programs but also includes Internet sales and sales direct to churches, including through the Company's hymnal joint venture. The International channel represents all transactions with foreign entities, whether they are shipped from the US or one of the Company's three foreign subsidiaries. Christian bookstores are the primary distribution channel for this segment, but there are also direct mail and other techniques used for these markets. The other channels segment includes copyright revenue from the song catalog and other small distribution sales. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on net revenues and operating income before taxes. Intersegment sales are not significant. Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in the following table, in thousands: [Download Table] 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- NET SALES Direct to consumer $16,012 $12,587 $11,898 Retail 25,960 22,280 16,234 International 7,510 7,234 6,392 Other 7,334 6,735 6,534 Eliminations (4,997) (3,510) (2,211) ------- ------- ------- Consolidated $51,819 $45,326 $38,847 ======= ======= ======= OPERATING PROFIT (BEFORE MINORITY INTEREST) Direct to consumer $2,990 $1,454 $2,609 Retail 4,362 4,270 3,363 International 1,656 1,836 1,436 Other 432 1,070 1,529 ------- ------- ------- Consolidated 9,440 8,630 8,937 General corporate expense 6,024 5,375 5,924 Interest expense, net 932 1,292 1,529 ------- ------- ------- Income before income taxes and minority interest $2,484 $1,963 $1,484 ====== ====== ====== IDENTIFIABLE ASSETS Direct to consumer $1,712 $1,980 $2,630 Retail 0 0 0 International 3,126 3,230 2,596 Other 1,665 1,840 2,014 General corporate assets 20,729 22,291 24,137 ------- ------- ------- Total assets $27,232 $29,341 $31,377 ======= ======= ======= The Company does not allocate any separate assets to its retail or direct to consumer segments as those segments are managed based on profit centers.

these segments are product masters and other intangibles that are shared among all segments. The Company does not track property and equipment usage by segments. The Company sells its products throughout the world and operates primarily in the U.S. Export sales are handled through the Company's international sales division and through certain foreign subsidiaries.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Each holder of the Company's Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The rights of each share of Class A and Class B stock are identical in all respects except as to voting privileges. No dividends were declared or paid during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. 12. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has two stock option plans, which provide for the granting of stock options to officers, employees and non-employee directors. The 1999 Long-term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") permits grants of not only incentive stock options, but also non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and other stock based awards. The Incentive Plan is authorized to issue up to 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in connection with such awards. Under the Incentive Plan, awards may not be granted at less than the market value at the date of the grant, and vesting terms are generally five years. The 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Directors' Plan"), grants 1,000 options to purchase Class A Common stock annually to Directors following the annual meeting. Such options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value at grant date and are exercisable six months from date of grant. Prior to approval of the 1999 Long-term Incentive Plan, the Company had the 1994 Stock Option Plan for employees and officers. Under that plan, 315,207 options had been granted and are outstanding at December 31, 2000. No further options will be granted under the 1994 plan. The Executive Stock Purchase Plan permits certain employees to purchase shares of common stock from the Company. Under this Plan, there are 50,000 shares of Class A common stock reserved at December 31, 2000. Effective December 28, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1995 Cash Incentive Plan. Awards may be granted by the Company's Compensation Committee and any award made is expressed in a number of units payable only in cash. Vesting is one-fifth of the units of an award on each anniversary of the date of grant until vested in full. Participants become vested in full six months after the occurrence of a change in control (as defined by the agreement) of the Company. The value of all units is measured as the difference between the fair market value of the Company's stock on the grant date and the fair market value of the Company's stock on any given date subsequent to the grant date. To the extent the fair market value of the stock exceeds the fair market value at the date of grant, compensation expense will be charged to the Company's statement of operations. As of December 31, 2000, 127,500 awards have been granted. The Company paid $11,000 and $62,000 related to this plan in 2000 and 1999, respectively. An accrual of $30,000 is recorded as of December 31, 2000 for the difference in the fair market value of the stock between the grant date and the end of the year. 32

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans under APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". As a result, the Company has recognized compensation expense only for the 1995 Cash Incentive Plan discussed above. The Company is not required to recognize compensation expense for the other option plans as the exercise price is equal to, or greater than, the fair market value at the date of grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation: (FAS 123)". Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based incentive compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed by FAS 123 and if these values had been recorded in the statement of operations, the Company's net income and per share results would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. [Download Table] 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income As reported $1,696,000 $1,427,000 $1,751,000 Pro forma $1,536,645 $1,237,000 $1,682,000 Basic EPS As reported 0.30 0.26 0.32 Pro forma 0.27 0.22 0.31 Diluted EPS As reported 0.28 0.24 0.30 Pro forma 0.25 0.21 0.29 These pro forma amounts represent the estimated fair value of stock options issued during 2000, 1999 and 1998 and are being amortized to expense over the applicable vesting period. Additional options may be granted in future years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: Dividend yields of 0%, expected volatility of 50% each year, risk-free interest rates that approximate the yield of a five year government bond, and a specific vesting period for each option. The weighted-average fair value of options granted is $1.96, $1.82 and $1.32 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted-average remaining contractual life for all options outstanding is 5.6 years.

During 1999, the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to an officer of the Company. These shares had a fair value at the time of issuance of $375,000 and vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. 13.
