NOTE 5 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

 

The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank.  The line matures October 1, 2004 and is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories.  Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (4.0% per annum at March 31, 2003).  The loan agreement allows the Company to convert the outstanding principal balance in amounts no less than $250,000 to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to 90 days.  At March 31, 2003, total borrowings under the Company’s line of credit was $1,059,500 of which 500,000 was borrowed under the LIBOR option bearing a LIBOR interest rate of 2.28% per annum and maturing April 15, 2003.  Proceeds from the loan were used for working capital purposes.  At March 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $3,940,500 available for future borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

(A)      On October 1, 2000, the bank issued a $6,050,000 seven year note due in monthly principal installments of $72,000 plus interest at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (4.0% per annum at March 31, 2003).  In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to one year.  At March 31, 2003, the total outstanding principal balance was under the LIBOR option at 2.53% per annum maturing April 15, 2003.  The note is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories and matures October 15, 2007.

 

At March 31, 2003, the Company had available a term-loan commitment in the amount of $2,000,000 for future machinery and equipment purchases.  Advances under the line will be subject to monthly interest only payments at the bank’s prime or LIBOR interest rate options until October 1, 2003 at which time amounts borrowed will convert to a sixty-month fully amortizable loan.

 

(B)        In July 1998, a $2,000,000 real estate loan secured by the Company’s Bensenville, Illinois and Gainesville, Texas properties was issued to Wells Fargo Bank.  This note replaced the 1994 real estate loan issued in connection with the purchase of the Bensenville, Illinois property.  The note was due in monthly principal installments of approximately $6,700 plus interest at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% or LIBOR interest rate option on a twenty-five year amortization with the outstanding principal due on July 1, 2008.  On August 15, 2002, this note was repaid in full and as a result the Company’s Bensenville, Illinois and Gainesville Texas are currently unencumbered.

 

Effective August 15, 2002, the Company amended its interest rate swap agreement with the bank.  The agreement allows the Company to fix a portion of its outstanding term and line of credit debt ($4 million as of March 31, 2003) from a variable floating LIBOR rate to a fixed LIBOR rate in efforts to protect against future increases in the bank’s LIBOR rate.  The amended terms also reduced the fixed LIBOR rate and extended the maturity date to August 15, 2006.

NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTION PLAN:

 

The Company has a stock option plan which allows, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, for the granting of options to key employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Under the terms and conditions set forth in the plan, the exercise price of the stock options will be at least 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.   The maximum term for options granted under the plan is five years.  The plan expires June 12, 2004.

 

The options outstanding as of March 31, 2003 are exercisable at prices ranging from $1.125-$1.1875 (fair market value at the date of grant).  The outstanding options are all 100% exercisable.  At March 31, 2003, the Company had 777,500 shares available for future grants.

 

The Company accounts for stock options under the intrinsic value method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (“APB25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” which is permitted under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”  Had compensation cost for the plan been determined in accordance with the fair value method as set out in SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” the Company’s net income and income per common share data would not be significantly different.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Introduction

 

To the extent that this 10-Q Quarterly Report discusses matters which are not historical, including statements regarding future financial results, information or expectations about products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made.  These include, among others, fluctuations in costs of raw materials and other expenses, costs associated with plant closures, downturns in the markets served by the Company, the costs associated with new product introductions, as well as other factors described under the Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Footnote 1 to Financial Statements.  When used in this report, the words “excepts,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.  You should not place undo reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinion only as of the date of the Quarterly Report.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements after the date of this document.  You should carefully review the risk factors, critical accounting policies and other disclosures described in other documents, including our Form 10-K, that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased 6.9% to $8,720,800 compared to $9,368,100 for the same period last year.  This continues to be a difficult period of time for many of our country’s businesses.  Ongoing weakened economic conditions coupled with lackluster customer confidence and our country’s war against terrorism has hampered positive sales growth for our industry and Company.  As such, last year’s sales volumes benefited from various industrial product, contract manufacturing and refuse product projects which in today’s environment have either been postponed or have not transpired.  However, as we moved into our last quarter we continue to see positive trends in our contract manufacturing and industrial product lines reflected by stronger backlog dollars in these product groups that coupled with completed contract tooling projects should help bolster future sales activity.

 

Cost of goods sold rose to 75.7% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 71.8% for the same period last year.  Even though we continue to implement various manufacturing efficiency and cost saving techniques, we at times struggle to keep pace with escalating insurance, raw material and natural gas costs.  We continue to monitor these costs, but as we realized during the last quarter, these costs can escalate very quickly.  We anticipate that insurance costs will continue to trend up while natural gas and raw material costs have recently stabilized and should hold fairly consistent over the next three to six months.

 

Selling, general and administrative (‘SG&A”) expenses were $1,857,400, or 21.3% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared with $1,967,600, or 21% of net sales, for the same period last year.  Although there is a slight comparative increase in the percentage amount due to the lower sales volumes in the current period, we successfully reduced overall SG&A costs by $110,200. These cost saving efforts were primarily reflected in a $107,300 decrease in advertising, tradeshow, commission and wage expenses.

 

Total interest expense decreased $47,100 to $64,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $111,700 for the same period last year.  The decrease is primarily due to the $2,654,700 reduction in debt in comparison to amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2002, along with ongoing favorable interest rates.  We expect these factors, including our renegotiated interest rate swap agreement with the bank in August 2002, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.

 

Income taxes were $127,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $210,000 for the same period last year.  The decease is in synch with the reduction in income before taxes.  Following last year’s utilization of our remaining federal income tax credits, we will continue to realize an increase in our current federal tax liability in comparison to prior periods.  As such, cash flow requirements during the current year have increased for the payment of federal income taxes.

 

Net income decreased $291,300 to $102,800, or one cent per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $394,100, or three cents per common share, for the same period last year.  As previously mentioned, many businesses have had to endure our country’s economic woes.  Although, the poor economy and our country’s war efforts hampered our third quarter sales volumes, we were still pleased that our operating results benefited from prior and ongoing cost containment efforts.  We remain optimistic that the economy will continue to recover and feel we are poised to take advantage of growth opportunities as they become available.  We will also continue to develop business strategies to deal with the future economic and inflationary challenges which are expected in the ensuing months.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002

 

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 decreased 2.7% to $26,146,100 compared to $26,884,000 for the same period last year.  The drop in sales volumes was again related to the challenging economic conditions that our industry and Company have faced.  However, we are pleased with growth of our industrial product (5%) and contract manufacturing (1%) groups that have shown resilience during our economy’s slow recovery.  We continue to see positive trends in these product groups reflected by stronger backlog dollars coupled with completed contract tooling projects that should bolster future sales activity.

 

Cost of goods sold rose slightly to 75% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 74.5% for the same period last year.  We are pleased that we have sustained targeted gross margin objectives in spite of the challenging economic environment.  This was especially evident in the last quarter as we continued the challenging task of mitigating rising raw material, insurance and utility costs.  To date we have effectively contained these costs through systematic product price increases coupled with manufacturing efficiency and cost containment efforts.  We have also focused on sustaining workforce reductions which has kept labor costs at approximately 18% of net sales.  With the quick resolution related to our country’s current military action, we have also seen utility and raw material costs to begin to stabilize.  If this trend holds, we will be in a better position to mitigate inflationary trends associated with these costs in the ensuing months.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $5,291,900, or 20.2% of net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared with $5,680,700, or 21.1% of net sales, for the same period last year.  Overall SG&A costs have decreased by $388,800, or 6.8%, which again is attributed to our cost containment efforts.  These cost saving efforts were primarily reflected in a $322,300 reduction in advertising, tradeshow, travel, commission/royalty and wage expenses.  We will continue to monitor our SG&A costs to keep them in line with our corporate goals without sacrificing our sales and marketing objectives.

 

Total interest expense decreased $153,400 to $207,800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $361,200 for the same period last year.  The decrease is again primarily due to $2,654,700 reduction in debt in comparison to amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2002 along with ongoing favorable interest rates.  We expect these factors, including our renegotiated interest rate swap agreement with the bank in August 2002, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.

 

Income taxes were $468,400 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $340,900 for the same period last year.  The increase is in relation to the $199,000 increase in income before taxes and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill.  Following last year’s utilization of our remaining federal income tax credits, we will continue to realize an increase in our current federal tax liability in comparison to prior periods.  As such, our cash flow requirements during the current year have increased for the payment of federal income taxes.

 

Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill increased $71,400 to $663,400, or $.05 per common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $592,000, or $.05 per common share, for the same period last year.  We were very pleased with the overall 12% increase in earnings in spite of the sluggish economy and inflationary trends in raw material, insurance and utility costs outline above.  To date we have successfully mitigated these negative trends with cost containment efforts evidenced by the 6.8% reduction in SG&A costs, sustained workforce reductions, interest cost savings and systematic product price increases.  Recent economic events continue to keep us optimistic that our nation’s economy will continue to improve.  We feel that our strong financial condition, along with our business strategies, will continue to help us deal with these challenging times and allows us to take advantage of growth opportunities as they become available.  In addition, we look forward to placing into service our new roto-molding machine later this year, which should improve our competitive edge in the market place.

 

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle for Goodwill

 

We recorded an adjustment effective July 1, 2001 to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 142 amounting to a reduction of intangible assets of $4,105,900.  This amount is reflected in the net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2002 as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill.  The adjustment represents a write down of the Company’s net goodwill based on a review of the Company’s goodwill for impairment.  Under the assessments guidelines of SFAS No. 142 and the SEC’s guidance that the Company’s quoted market price is the most efficient mechanism for estimating fair value, it was determined the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit was less then its carrying value.  Although the assumptions used to estimate fair value may not be indicative of future results, the Company’s goodwill has been reduced to zero and will not require future impairment analysis.

 

Financial Conditions

 

Working capital increased $202,600 to $7,686,300 at March 31, 2003 compared to $7,483,700 at June 30, 2002.  The increase is related to the timing of prepaid expenses payments related to income taxes and insurances.  Cash flows from operations increased by $294,700 to

 

 

11



 

$3,139,700 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $2,845,700 for the same period last year.  The increase is attributed to the increase in income before change in accounting principle between the two periods as well as the cash flows generated from a reduction in accounts receivable and increase accounts payable balances due to capital expenditures and raw material purchases with extended terms. Cash flows from operations continue to show strength allowing the Company to meet its cash flow requirements, pay the $.05 common stock dividend declared in June 2002, and reduce its debt structure by $1,174,00 since June 30, 2002.

 

We expended $1,181,700 for the property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) during the nine months ended March 31, 2003.  The increase of $316,900, in comparison to amount extended for the same period last year, is due the purchase of new technology base molding equipment that will be placed in service in 2003.  Inclusive of this equipment, we anticipate expending approximately $1.8 million on PP&E expenditures in fiscal year 2003

 

Our line of credit increased $867,500 to $1,059,500 between June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2003.  The increase is due to the timing of excess cash flows in the beginning of the fiscal year that were used to paydown term debt and have subsequently been borrowed to fund capital expenditure projects and for the payment of federal income taxes over the last few months.  Due to the timing of these payments, we can anticipate the line of credit to reflect temporary fluctuations throughout the year.  However, we are confident that as our nation’s economy strengthens and market trends improve, additional cash flows generated from our operations will minimize these fluctuations.  Cash flows from current operations continue to be sufficient and have allowed us pay down our total debt structure by $1,174,000 that includes a $493,300 payoff of our real estate loan leaving all of our real estates properties currently encumbered.  At March 31, 2003, we had $3,940,500 available for future borrowings under the line of credit.

 

Effective October 1, 2001, the bank extended the maturity date on the line of credit to October 1, 2004.  In addition, management did not advance on the $2,000,000 term loan commitment and instead requested the bank to issue a new term loan commitment in the same amount that will expire on October 31, 2003.  Effective August 15, 2002, we also amended our interest rate swap agreement with the bank by reducing the notional amount down to $4 million, reducing the fixed LIBOR rate and extending the maturity date to August 15, 2006.

 

On June 25, 2002, the Board of Directors (“The Board”) declared a common stock dividend of $.05 per common share that was paid on July 26, 2002 to stockholders of record on July 8, 2002.  This marked the sixth payment of dividends since 1996 on the Company’s stock.  The Board has committed itself to annually review a dividend program for the Company’s common stock.

 

Cash flows from operations in conjunction with the Company’s revolving line of credit and machinery and equipment loan commitment are expected to meet the Company’s needs for working capital, capital expenditures, common stock repurchases and repayment of long-term debt for the foreseeable future.

 

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment.  Identifiable intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, which required the Company to cease amortization of its remaining net goodwill balance and to perform a transitional goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2001, and thereafter an impairment test at least annually, and record an adjustment when the fair value of our reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying value.  The Company engaged a national valuation specialist to assist with the determination of the estimated fair value of its reporting units as of July 1, 2001.  To determine fair value, valuation models involving guideline public companies, acquisition analysis and discounted cash flows were relied upon.  As such, under the assessment guidelines of SFAS No. 142 and the SEC’s guidance that the Company’s quoted market price is the most efficient mechanism for estimating fair value, their findings indicated that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value.  As such, the Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and wrote-off effective July 1, 2001 its remaining net goodwill of $4,105,900 as a non-cash cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.  The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 was originally reported in the second quarter of the fiscal 2001 as allowed by the transitional rules.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.”  SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for annual periods

 

 

12



 

ending after December 15, 2002 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.  Effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, SFAS No. 148 also provides three alternative transition methods for companies that choose to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123.  The Company accounts for stock options under the intrinsic method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (“APB25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which is permitted under SFAS No. 123.  Had compensation cost for the plan been determined in accordance with the fair value method as set out in SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income and income per common share data would not be significantly different.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions.  We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made.  These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.  In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application.  There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result.  Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee.  See notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2002, which contain additional information regarding our accounting polices and other disclosures by GAAP.

 

The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful.  Provisions are based on a percentage of net sales and a specific review of all significant outstanding receivable balances.  Percentages applied may vary based on analysis of historical collection experience or current economic trends.  If the data we use to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the results of operations could be affected.

 

Inventory valuation

 

Finished goods inventory is valued at cost and management uses historical gross margin trends and other estimates to continually update labor and overhead allocations.  The gross margin percentage reflects our estimate of the cost of, among other things, material, labor and overhead expenditures during the production process.  Such cost are capitalized to inventory as products are manufactured.  Although it is believed that the estimates are reasonable, it is possible that the actual labor and overhead costs will differ over time from the estimated amounts.  Such differences could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

 

Income taxes

 

Under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” income taxes are recorded based on the current amounts payable or refundable, as well as the consequences of events that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences in how those events are treated for tax purposes.  We base our estimate of deferred tax assets and liabilities on current tax laws and rates and in certain cases expectations about future outcomes.  Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents management’s best estimate of future events that can be appropriately reflected in accounting estimates.  Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.  Such differences could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

 

 

13



 

In particular, we recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely then not to be realized.  While management has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, there is no assurance that the valuation allowance would not need to be increased to cover additional deferred tax assets that may not be realized.  Any increase in the valuation allowance could have a material adverse impact on our income tax provision and net income for the period in which such determination is made.

 

Item 2a. Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Information regarding the Company’s market risk relating to interest rate volatility was disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and should be read in conjunction with this interim financial information.  Since June 30, 2002, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.  Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the disclosure controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
