NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

Earle M. Jorgensen Company (the “Company”) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Earle M. Jorgensen Holding Company, Inc. (the “Parent” or “Holding”) as the result of a series of business combinations and mergers effective April 1, 1990.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Earle M. Jorgensen (Canada) Inc. and Stainless Insurance Ltd., a captive insurance subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2004 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

     Three Months Ended

   Nine Months Ended

     December 31,

   January 1,
2004


   December 31,

   $ 4,285,000    $ 1,237,000    $ 52,932,000    $ 5,284,000

Foreign currency translation adjustment

     723,000      862,000      1,341,000      2,305,000
    

  

  

  

Comprehensive income

   $ 5,008,000    $ 2,099,000    $ 54,273,000    $ 7,589,000
    

  

  

  

 

3. Income from Redemption of Life Insurance Policies

 

Included in general and administrative expense is income from redemption of company owned life insurance policies of none, $835,000, $318,000 and $4,359,000 for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2004 and January 1, 2004, respectively.

 

4. Stock-Based Compensation

 

During December 2004, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, using the modified-prospective transition method, for all employee awards granted, modified or settled after April 1, 2004, as permitted by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company estimated the fair value of options using an option-pricing model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the options. The Company’s common stock is not currently traded on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market, and therefore an effectively zero percent volatility was used. The dividend yield is excluded from the calculation, as it is the Company’s intention to retain all future earnings. All stock options had fully vested prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123.

Table of Contents

Until the adoption of SFAS No. 123 in December 2004, stock options granted to directors, officers and other key employees of the Company under Holding’s stock option plan adopted in January 1997 were accounted for in accordance with APB No. 25. As all stock option grants have been made at fair value on the date of grant, the Company had not recognized any compensation cost. Had compensation expense for stock options granted been recorded based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, the effect on the Company’s net income for the three months and nine months ended January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 would have been as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended

    Nine Months Ended
