Reminbi, the functional currency of the Company has been converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of 8.3 to 1. 9 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements The following presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are based on our current expectations and relate to anticipated future events that are not historical facts, such as our business strategies and their intended results. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of (i) changes in general economic conditions, (ii) changes in the assumptions used in making these statements, (iii) our lack of a long-term operating history, (iv) competition generally, and in the technology sector in particular, (v) our ability to attract, hire, train and retain competent personnel in a variety of functions, (vi) our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund our expansion, and (vii) our ability to attract sub-contractors, software engineers, development teams to our website, and setup a nation-wide collaborative platform for software outsourcing in China. Overview ESOFTBANK.COM, Inc., is a Chinese software development and sub-contracting services provider. We offer a wide range of value-added services including IT consulting, project outsourcing, quality control and software releasing. Our focus is on various e-commerce, network management and resource control systems for business and government enterprises. Our website, HTTP://www.eSoftBank.com, is a registry for Chinese web page designers and e-commerce developers, as well as institutions requiring the services of these people, on which we provide a cost-efficient platform for job exchanges and assignments. It is an interactive and integrated virtual software community offering technical databank, knowledge exchange, job-subcontracting, software-testing and support services. Through our website, we offer independent software engineers a source of business opportunities and web space, while companies are able to select from a variety of software engineers and software companies. Our revenues are derived from commissions on transaction volume on the platform, as well as handling fees and service charges for software engineering and technical support services. Our headquarters are in Shenzhen, China. We changed our company's name from Natural Way Technologies Inc. to ESOFTBANK.COM, Inc. on March 31, 2000 when we acquired (the "Acquisition") all of the issued and outstanding shares of World Concept Development Limited ("WCD"). WCD owns the software development and Internet-based software subcontracting platform operations conducted in China under the name of ESOFTBANK.COM. In November, 2001, we are changing our name again to BroadenGate Systems, Inc. to more accurately reflect our core business. The Acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition, whereby the company issuing its shares to effect a business combination is determined to be the acquiree in the business combination. This occurs when the shareholders of the issuer have less than a majority of voting control of the combined entity. The company whose shareholders retain the majority voting interest in the combined entity is presumed the acquirer. In the Acquisition, the then-existing shareholders of Natural Way retained a 27% voting interest in the combined entity on completion of the Acquisition. Accordingly, WCD is deemed to be the acquirer and the assets of Natural Way are required to be fair valued at acquisition. As Natural Way had no assets (other than obligations due from a shareholder) or operations during 1999 and 2000 (prior to March 31st), no fair value adjustments were required and there are no changes to the WCD financial statements that would require a pro forma analysis. Additionally, because WCD is deemed to be the acquirer, the historical financial statements of Natural Way (now ESOFTBANK.COM Inc.) have been restated, and now reflect the historical operations of WCD and its subsidiaries. 10 SiTech Hainan Ltd. (Haikou) is the only company that existed prior to 2000 that is reflected in our consolidated financial statements. WCD, ESOFTBANK Shenzhen and Beijing were formed in the fourth quarter of 1999 and only became operational in the first quarter of 2000. In the first quarter of 2001, WCD and ESOFTBANK Shenzhen, Beijing, Haikou had operating revenues. Results of Operations Three-months ended September 30, 2001 Compared with Three-months ended September 30, 2000 Total revenues decreased by $222,402 to $359,187 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $581,589 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, primarily due to the under utilization of our engineers trained for Japanese projects and the utilization of certain of our personal in R&D. Cost of sales decreased $130,219 to $250,120 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $380,339 for the same period in 2000. The decrease is attributable to the reduction in revenues. Our gross profit margin was 30.3 % in the quarter ended Sep 30, 2001. This compares with 34.6% for the corresponding period of the prior year. Selling and administrative expenses ("SGA") decreased by $149,692 to $250,687 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, from $400,379 for the same period in 2000. This decrease reflects operational improvements and cost controls such as imposing stricter controls on advertising expenses. We anticipate that these controls will continue decreasing SGA expenses in the future as we work to make our distribution system more efficient. We have also established more strategic alliances with established companies (such as Huawei, Oracle China, etc.) that will assist us in distributing our services at lower costs. We incurred interest expense of $35,136 for the third quarter of 2001 compared with $24,567 for the third quarter of 2000 due to an increase in our short-term loan from the Bank. We have no income tax liability for the third quarter of either 2001 or 2000. We may incur income tax expenses in the future, even though we have an operating loss because income taxes in the People's Republic of China are a function of gross sales and not of net income. 11 The minority interest represents the 20% interest in eSoftBank (Beijing) Software Systems Co. Ltd. and the 47.6% of SiTech Hainan Ltd. not owned by the Company. The net loss decreased by approximately 13% for the third quarter of 2001, to $163,830 from $188,406 for the same period in 2000. The decreased operating losses in the third quarter of 2001 over the third quarter of 2000 was due to reduced SGA expenses which were partially offset by reduced gross profit. We believe that these trends will continue as our revenues increase and our expenses decrease. We also expect that our operations from being a software outsourcing services provider and subcontracting platform will produce additional revenues and, profitability in near future. However, there is no assurance that we will ever become profitable. Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 Compared with Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 Total revenues increased by $59,582 to $1,003,220 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $943,638 for the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase resulted because we had no revenues for the first calendar quarter of 2000. Cost of sales increased by $154,815 to $730,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $576,179 for the corresponding period of 2000. This increase is attributable to costs incurred in the continued development of our platform. Gross margins were 27.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 38.9% for the same period of 2000. Selling and administrative expenses ("SGA") decreased by $535,088 to $780,693 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $1,315,781 for the corresponding period of the prior year. This decrease is attributable to the imposition of cost controls, reduced advertising and the formation of strategic alliances to reduce marketing costs. Interest expense increased by $73,282 to $97,849 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $24,567 for the corresponding period of 2000. This increase reflects increased borrowings. Other income, net reflects a refund of business taxes previously paid. We have no income tax liability for the first nine months of calendar year 2001. In the same period of calendar year 2000, we incurred a tax liability of $18,632. We may incur income tax in future periods, even if we have a net operating loss, because income taxes in the People's Republic of China are a function of gross sales and not necessarily of net income. The minority interest represents the 20% interest in eSoftBank (Beijing) Software Systems Co. Ltd. and the 47.6% of SiTech Hainan Ltd. not owned by the Company. Our net loss decreased by $333,932 to $465,101 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $799,033 for the corresponding period of 2000. This decrease reflects the reduction in SGA which was partially offset by reduced gross profit and increased interest. 12 Outlook General We believe that we are well positioned for growth in the developing information technology ("IT") industry in China and internationally. With China joining the WTO and the Beijing's 2008 Olympics, demand should increase IT in China during the next several years. Since its inception in 1996, the company has built a strong position in the Chinese domestic IT industry. eSoftBank is leveraging its domestic expertise to enter the global outsourcing market, and to cooperate with leading multinational software vendors in the Chinese market. Building on the synergy between the Chinese and global markets, eSoftBank hopes to continue to increase its market share at home and win high-margin contracts abroad. Over the past year the company has already taken the first steps in realizing this strategy by forming close partnerships with some of the top players in China, including IBM, Oracle, and Huawei Technology, China's largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. With Oracle, we will soon be implementing several sections of a large accounting system for China Mobile Hong Kong, the largest mobile telecommunications service provider in the world. The next step is to build our position in the United States IT outsourcing market. In the near-term, business growth will come from utilizing our strategic partnerships with companies such as ACenturyOne, a high-profile startup specializing in outsourcing projects from Fortune 250 companies to Chinese software developers. Looking to the longer term, however, it is critical to capitalize on our momentum and establish a physical presence in the US. Recent Developments We believe that the recent developments described below will have a positive impact on our future results of operations. However, there is no assurance that these benefits will be realized or that, if realized, these benefits will reach the levels we anticipated. 1. We have completed our acquisition of a 70% stake in Dalian Tongzhou Computer Software Co., Ltd. (Tongzhou), a mid-size software company in Northeastern China focusing on project management software and system integration. Its showcase product is the "TZ-Project management system" series and is now in the process of bidding on Beijing 2008 Olympics projects. To date, Tongzhou has more than 1,000 installations throughout China, and has served clients in the architectural, chemical, metallurgical, transportation, manufacturing and energy industries. Tongzhou was established by Dalian Technical University, which holds the remaining 30% stake of the Company. Tongzhou has sign two contracts to provide software development and system maintenance services for Japanese companies recently. The estimated revenue over the next 12 months is 3 million RMB. 13 2. We won the biding for Electric Funding provided by China Information Industry Department, and should be granted 4 million RMB in funding from government in next 3 months. 3. We reached a strategic agreement with ACenturyOne, to obtain stable software outsourcing projects from US. Liquidity and Capital Resources At the end of the third quarter of 2001, we had cash of $178,624 and a deficit in working capital of $2,343,766. This compares cash of $388,159 for Dec.31, 2000 and a deficit in working capital of $1,967,031 as of September 30, 2000. Cash used in operating activities decreased by $537,514 to $426,444 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, from $963,958 in the same period in 2000. This change is attributable to a reduced net operating loss which was partially offset by changes in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $5,795 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 from $943,362 for the corresponding period of 2000. This decrease resulted from reduced capital expenditures, loan repayments, advances and investments. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $209,535 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to $535,555 for the corresponding period of 2000. This reduction resulted from reduced borrowings during the current year. Our business is now generating more revenues from our project management centers. Management is also seeking to raise additional capital from investors both in China and other countries, and believes that this funding will enable us to develop our business and meet some of our operating cash needs. However, based on the current level of expenditures, without such funding, we will be unable to fully implement our business plan. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None Item 2.
