The matters discussed inthis management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operations containforward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’sactual results in our two operating segments could differ materially from thosediscussed here. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences arediscussed elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. The Companydisclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

 

**OVERVIEW**

 

The Banker’s Store, Inc.(“Store”) was established in 1968. It remained dormant for many years until itcompleted the acquisition of B.G. Banking Equipment, Inc., (“B.G. Banking”)and Financial Building Equipment Exchange, Inc., (“FBEE”). We are now inthe business of buying, selling, refurbishing and trading new and refurbishedfinancial equipment for banks and other financial institutions. Commencingduring the fourth quarter of the year ended May 31, 2002, we entered theoffice equipment and furniture retail business. We market products throughoutthe United States primarily through direct sales to financial institutions andother distributors supported by our direct sales force and soliciting newcontacts through our presence on the Internet.

 

We anticipate that ourresults of operations may fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to severalfactors, including whether and when new products at competitive prices areobtained and sources of good used banking and banking related equipment andfurniture become available at favorable prices, market acceptance of current ornew products, delays, or inefficiencies, shipment problems, seasonal customerdemand, the timing of significant orders, competitive pressures on averageselling prices and changes in the mix of products sold.

 

Operating results would alsobe adversely affected by a downturn in the market for our current and futureproducts, order cancellations, or order rescheduling or remanufacturing ordelays. We purchase and resell new merchandise and remanufacture and ship ourother products shortly after receipt of orders. We have not developed asignificant backlog for such products and do not anticipate developing amaterial backlog for such products in the future.

 

Because we plan to increaseour operating expenses, primarily for personnel and activities supportingnewly-introduced products, new product development and entering new markets,our operating results would be adversely affected if our sales did notcorrespondingly increase or if our product development efforts are unsuccessfulor are subject to delays.

 

**SUMMARY OFSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND CONTINGENCIES:**

 

Significant accounting estimates:

 

Our discussion and analysisof our financial condition and results of operations are based upon ourcondensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesof America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financialstatements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reportedamounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosuresof contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate ourestimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories,equipment and improvements, income taxes and contingencies. We base ourestimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which formthe basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets andliabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Theaccounting estimates used as of May 31, 2005 and as outlined in ourpreviously filed Form 10-KSB have been applied consistently for the sixmonths ended November 30, 2005.

 

Related party transactions:

 

We have entered into two operating leases with our President and principal stockholder, Paul Clark, for the lease of an aggregate of 32,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The leases provide for a monthly rent of $7,200 plus maintenance expenses.  The leases expire in August and September 2007, respectively.

Contingencies:

 

Private placement - B.G.Banking:

 

Prior to the Store’s reversemerger with B.G. Banking and FBEE, B.G Banking offered and receivedsubscriptions for 126,500 shares of its common stock at $1.00 per share.Subsequent to the date of the reverse merger, the subscribers of shares of B.G.Banking’s common stock were offered and they received shares of common stock inthe Store at a ratio of 1 share of B.G. Banking common stock to 1.5 shares ofthe Store’s common stock. We issued 189,750 shares of common stock insatisfaction of the subscription agreements at a value of $.67 per share.

 

Two of our former directors,acting individually as principals of Taurus Investments International, Inc.(a Nevada corporation) (collectively “Taurus”), and as directors of B.G.Banking prior to its acquisition by the Store and subsequent to the acquisitionbecoming directors of the Company, offered and sold on behalf of B.G. Bankingwhat Taurus has admitted to being an aggregate of 304,500 shares of B.G.Banking’s common stock for an aggregate consideration of $304,500. Taurus hasremitted to the Store net proceeds of $109,674 and claims the difference of$194,826 as payment for expenses and commissions. In addition, Taurus hasrefused to disclose the purchaser names and numbers of shares of common stockpurchased, and refused to remit to the Store the balance of the proceeds of theshares sold. As of November 30, 2005, Taurus has failed to turn over thebalance of money, provide the names of the stock subscribers and the number ofshares of common stock purchased.

 

Based upon the accountingprovided by Taurus to the Store, the Store may be liable for the issuance of upto 322,000 shares of common stock if and when Taurus substantiates theirrepresentation as to the number of shares of common stock sold and aggregateconsideration. This number of shares represents the number of shares admittedlysold by Taurus for which the purchasers remained unidentified.

 

We may also be forced todefend ourself against actions to be brought by unknown subscribers to sharesof common stock of B.G. Banking whose purchase price has never been disclosedor delivered to the Store. We are aware of one alleged purchaser who claims tohave delivered funds to Taurus and whose funds were apparently not turned overto us. In the opinion of management, the Store has no liability to suchpurchasers and intends to vigorously defend such actions, if and when brought.

 

We have receivedapproximately $42,000 from Taurus relating to the purchase of shares by anunknown investor in June 1999. We are holding such funds in escrow pendingdisposition.

 

In December 2004, theCompany issued 7,500 shares of common stock to one of the subscribers.

 

As of November 30,2005, we have reserved 322,000 shares of common stock pending possible issuanceof shares in satisfaction of outstanding subscription agreements.

 

Litigation:

 

On February 29, 2000,Alexander C. Brosda and Andrew Seim filed an action in the United StatesDistrict Court in Florida against the Store. The action alleges that weviolated the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and variousFlorida statutes, by failing to affect the exchange of 150,000 shares of B.G.Banking common stock held by Brosda and Seim for 225,000 shares of our commonstock. On June 5, 2000, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint forfailure to state a claim, improper venue and lack of jurisdiction,respectively. On January 23, 2001, the court dismissed the plaintiff’sclaims alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Theplaintiffs did not file an amended complaint, and the action has been dismissedby the court without prejudice.

 

However, on September 26,2001, Taurus Venture Capital Fund, LLC and Taurus filed a similar claim againstthe Store and our President, Paul Clark. The claim seeks $2,000,000 for actualdamages based upon a per share price of $4.50, treble damages of $6,615,000plus interest and fees. In November 2001, the Company and its presidentfiled a motion to discuss or abate the action and are awaiting the schedulingby the court of a hearing on the motion. On May 30, 2002, the court issueda decision denying the motion to dismiss.

 

On August 6, 2002, theCompany and the President filed an answer, affirmative defenses andcounterclaims against plaintiffs, denying the allegations in the complaint andalleging as counterclaims the same claims as are alleged in the followingdescribed action pending in New York State, seeking damages in the amount ofnot less than $1,700,000 for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract,conversion and unjust enrichment, and seeking an accounting of plaintiffs’books and records. The Company believes that they have meritorious defenses andintends to vigorously defend the action. On May 28, 2003, the Company andits president filed a motion to dismiss the action and are awaiting thescheduling by the court of a hearing on the motion.

 

On March 7, 2000, wefiled an action in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, againstTaurus, seeking an amount of not less than $1,700,000 for breach of fiduciaryduty, breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment and seeking anaccounting of Taurus’ books and records. The action arises out of B.G. Banking’sconfidential private placement memorandum dated January 31, 1998 for thesale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. Taurus filed amotion to dismiss the action which the court denied on October 5, 2000. OnNovember 15, 2000 a motion filed by Taurus counsel to be relieved ascounsel was granted. On December 14, 2000, the court granted our oralmotion for the entry of a default judgment against Taurus. On May 4, 2001,the court granted the motion filed by the defendant and, as a result, theaction has been transferred to the New York State Supreme Court, DelawareCounty. The Company is awaiting a date for a hearing on its claim against theplaintiff for damages. The Company intends to continue to litigate this action.

Although we cannot predictthe outcome of the litigation described above, we do not believe that theultimate outcome will have any material adverse effect on our consolidatedfinancial statements in subsequent periods.

**RESULTS OFOPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2005 ASCOMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2004.**

 

Revenues were $738,278 forthe three months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $632,388 for thethree months ended November 30, 2004 reflecting an increase ofapproximately $105,890 or 16.7%. The increase in revenues during the threemonths ended November 30, 2005 **is**primarilyattributed to increased sales in our service department of the BankingEquipment segment..   For the six monthsended November 30, 2005 revenues were consistent in each segment with anincrease of $21,856 as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2004.

 

Gross profit for the threeand six months ended November 30, 2005, increased $250,117 and $242,588,or 31.8% and 18.2% of revenues, respectively, as compared to the same periodsin the prior year.  The increase in grossprofit for these periods (mostly in the 2nd quarter) is primarilythe result of selling refurbished inventory in our Banking Equipment segment ofoperations versus sales of new equipment. The Company continually purchases used banking equipment fromdiscontinued locations with the banking industry at significant discounts.  Such used equipment is inventoried andrefurbished to be sold based on customer specifications.  The gross profit on the used inventory issignificantly higher as reflected in the decrease in cost of sales from$144,227 and $220,732, respectively for the three and six months ended November 30,2005, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

 

Selling, general andadministrative expenses were $198,732 for the three months ended November 30,2005 as compared to $182,403 for the three months ended November 30, 2004reflecting an increase of approximately $16,329 or 8.2% over the same periodlast year. ** **For the six months ended November 30, 2005, selling, general, andadministrative expenses had increased by $45,775 or 13.0% as compared to thesix months ended November 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to increased fuel charges and payraises.  Additional professional servicesin accounting were also engaged for compliance purposes **.**

 

As a result of theaforementioned, the Company incurred a net profit during the three months endedNovember 30, 2005 of approximately $101,816 as opposed to a net loss ofapproximately $91,102 for the comparable period of November 30, 2004.  The net profit for the six months ended November 30,2005 was $56,747 as compared to a net loss of $100,050 at the six months ended November 30,2004.

**LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

 

We have historicallyfinanced our operations through revenues from operations, private and publicplacements of equity securities, debt and capital lease financing and interestincome earned on the net proceeds from the private placements.

 

We had cash and cashequivalents of $346,364 and working capital of $530,465 at November 30,2005.   At November 30, 2005, the Company’s cashposition had increased by $108,976 from the year-end of May 31, 2005.  This increase in liquidity primarily camefrom the collection of accounts receivables and is partially offset by thereduction in accounts payable of $60,322 and long-term debt of $7,531 duringthe same period.

 

We are evaluating variousalternatives in addressing our future facilities expansion needs. Thealternatives being evaluated include negotiations with various parties for theleasing of additional facility space and the purchase of additional property tobuild a new or additional office and warehousing facility. Relocation to a newfacility or leasing of additional facility space would be expected to result inan increase in rent upon occupancy. We believe that our available cash, cashfrom operations and funds from existing credit arrangements will be sufficientto satisfy our funding needs through at least November 30, 2006.  Thereafter, if cash generated from operationsis insufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditurerequirements, we may be required to sell additional equity or debt securitiesor obtain additional credit arrangements. There can be no assurance that suchadditional capital, if needed, will be available on satisfactory terms, if atall. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive tostockholders, and debt financing, if available, may include restrictivecovenants. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend onnumerous factors, including the extent to which our new products and productsunder consideration are successfully developed, gain market acceptance andbecome and remain competitive, the timing and results of regulatory actions inthe banking industry, the costs and timing of further expansion of sales,marketing and manufacturing activities and facilities expansion needs. Thefailure by us to raise capital on acceptable terms when needed could have amaterial adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results ofoperations.

**Note 2 -Earnings (loss) per common share:**

 

The Company presents “basic”earnings (loss) per common share and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings percommon share pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial AccountingStandards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Basic earnings (loss)per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted averagenumber of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation ofdiluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share,except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additionalcommon shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutivecommon shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, wereissued during the period. As of November 30, 2005 the Company has reserved322,000 shares of common stock pending possible issuance of shares insatisfaction of outstanding subscription agreements.  The weighted average numbers of shares fordetermining basic earnings per share were 14,954,715 and 14,947,215 in 2005 and2004 respectively.  The weighted averagenumbers of shares for determining diluted earnings per share were 15,276,715and 15,269,215 in 2005 and 2004 respectively.

 

**Note 3 -Income taxes:**

 

TheCompany’s estimated effective federal and state income tax rate is 37percent.  A substantial portion of theCompany’s deferred tax asset is attributable to accrued officer’s salary.  Due to the uncertainties related to thepayment of this liability and the extent and timing of future taxable income, theCompany offset the deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance asof November 30, 2005.  Deferred taxassets offset by a valuation allowance were approximately $98,000 as of November 30,2005.

Two of the Company’sdirectors, acting individually as principals of Taurus InvestmentsInternational, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) (collectively “Taurus”), and asdirectors of B.G. Banking prior to its acquisition by The Banker’s Store, Inc.and subsequent to the acquisition becoming directors of the Company, offeredand sold on behalf of B.G. Banking what Taurus has admitted to being anaggregate of 304,500 shares of B.G. Banking’s common stock for an aggregateconsideration of $304,500. Taurus has remitted to the Company net proceeds of$109,674 and claims the difference of $194,826 as payment for expenses andcommissions. In addition, Taurus has refused to disclose the purchaser namesand numbers of shares of common stock purchased and refused to remit to theCompany the proceeds of the shares sold. As of November 30, 2005, Taurushas failed to turn over the balance of money, provide the names of the stocksubscribers and the number of shares of common stock purchased.

 

Based upon the accountingprovided by Taurus to the Company, the Company may be liable for the issuanceof up to 322,000 shares of common stock if and when Taurus substantiates theirrepresentation as to the number of shares of common stock sold and theaggregate consideration. This number of shares represents the number of sharesadmittedly sold by Taurus for which the purchasers have as yet remainedunidentified.

 

The Company may also beforced to defend itself against actions to be brought by unknown subscribers toshares of common stock of B.G. Banking whose purchase price has never beendisclosed or delivered to the Company. The Company is aware of one allegedpurchaser who claims to have delivered funds to Taurus and whose funds wereapparently not turned over to the Company. In the opinion of management, theCompany has no liability to such purchasers and intends to vigorously defendsuch actions, if and when brought.

 

The Company has receivedapproximately $42,000 from Taurus relating to the purchase of shares by anunknown investor in June 1999. The Company is holding such funds in escrowpending disposition.

 

In December 2004, theCompany issued 7,500 shares to one shareholder.

 

As of November 30,2005, the Company has reserved 322,000 shares of common stock pending possibleissuance of shares in satisfaction of outstanding subscription agreements.

 

**Litigation:**

 

On February 29, 2000,Alexander C. Brosda and Andrew Seim filed an action in the United StatesDistrict Court in Florida against the Company. The action alleges that theCompany violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and variousFlorida statutes, by failing to effect the exchange of 150,000 shares of B.G.Banking common stock held by Brosda and Seim for 225,000 shares of the Company’scommon stock. On June 5, 2000, the Company filed a motion to dismiss thecomplaint for failure to state a claim, improper venue and lack ofjurisdiction, respectively. On January 23, 2001, the court dismissed theplaintiffs’ claims alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.The plaintiffs did not file an amended complaint, and the action has beendismissed by the court without prejudice.

 

However, on September 26,2001, Taurus Venture Capital Fund, LLC and Taurus filed a similar claim againstthe Company and its president. The claim seeks $2,000,000 for actual damagesbased upon a per share price of $4.50, treble damages of $6,615,000 plusinterest and fees. In November 2001, the Company and its president filed amotion to dismiss or abate the action and are awaiting the scheduling by thecourt of a hearing on the motion. On May 30, 2002, the court issued adecision denying the motion to dismiss.

 

On August 6, 2002, theCompany and the President filed an answer, affirmative defenses andcounterclaims against plaintiffs, denying the allegations in the complaint andalleging as counterclaims the same claims as are alleged in the followingdescribed action pending in New York State, seeking damages in the amount ofnot less than $1,700,000 for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract,conversion of unjust enrichment, and seeking an accounting of plaintiff’s booksand records. The Company believes that they have meritorious defenses andintends to vigorously defend the action. On May 28, 2003, the Company andits president filed a motion to dismiss the action and are awaiting thescheduling by the court of a hearing on the motion.

On March 7, 2000, theCompany filed an action in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York,against Taurus, seeking an amount of not less than $1,700,000 for breach offiduciary duty, breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment andseeking an accounting of Taurus’ books and records. The action arises out ofB.G. Banking’s confidential private placement memorandum dated January 31,1998 for the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.Taurus filed a motion to dismiss the action which the court denied on October 5,2000. On November 15, 2000, a motion filed by Taurus’ counsel to berelieved as counsel was granted. On December 14, 2000, the court grantedthe Company’s oral motion for the entry of a default judgment against Taurus.On May 4, 2001, the court granted a motion filed by the defendant and, asa result, the action has been transferred to the New York State Supreme Court,Delaware County. The Company is awaiting a date for a hearing on its claimagainst the plaintiff for damages. The Company intends to continue to litigatethis action.

 

Although it cannot predictthe outcome of the litigation described above, management does not believe thatthe ultimate outcome of the claims brought by the plaintiffs will not have anymaterial adverse effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements insubsequent periods.
