</TABLE>
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Three
Months Ended March 31, 1996
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were
$73.2 million, which represented a $2.9 million or 4.2%
increase compared to the same period in 1996. This increase
in net sales was primarily due to the incremental sales
associated with the acquisition of the Comfort Clinic Division
of Bio Clinic Corporation ("Comfort Clinic") combined with an
increase in carpet cushion and foam sales.
Cost of goods sold as a percent of sales improved to 78.8%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 80.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996. This change was
primarily due to cost reduction activities implemented
during the year and cost reductions achieved from plant
consolidations made in 1996, coupled with the increase in
scrap foam prices.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to $8.2 million for the comparable period of 1996.
This increase of $1.9 million primarily reflected the
increased costs associated with the acquisition of Comfort Clinic.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash from operating activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 was a use of $7.7 million, compared to
the $3.4 million provided in the comparable period of 1996.
This fluctuation was primarily due to changes in working
capital associated with timing. Net cash used in investing
activities was $1.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997, compared to $2.0 million used in the comparable
period of 1996. Cash used in investing activities represents
capital expenditures. Net cash provided from financing
activities for the first quarter of 1997 was $5.9 million,
compared to a use of $1.6 million in the first quarter of
1996. First quarter financing activities reflect
fluctuations in the Company's revolving credit facility.
