AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of AmeriTrade Holding Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). The Company is a provider of
discount securities brokerage and related financial services, including
clearing and execution services.
These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal
recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
registration statement filed on Form S-1, as amended, which became
effective on March 4, 1997. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended March 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the entire fiscal year ending September 26, 1997.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121 - Effective in
fiscal 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The new
standard established the accounting and reporting requirements for
recognizing and measuring impairment of long-lived assets to be either held
and used or held for disposal. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have
an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 123 - Effective with its initial public offering of common stock,
the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
The new standard established the accounting and reporting requirements
using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation plans. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 did not have an effect on
the consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 128 - In February 1997, SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, was
issued. The new standard revises the previous requirements for computing
earnings per share, and will become effective for the Company in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 128 to have a
material effect on its earnings per share.
3. INVESTMENTS
Investments in other companies and partnerships are accounted for under the
equity method when the Company has the ability to exercise significant
influence over the investee's operating and financial policies or when the
investment is a corporate joint venture. Other investments consist of
available-for-sale securities carried at fair value, with
6
<PAGE>
unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.
4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK
The Company sold 1,700,000 shares of its common stock in an initial public
offering at a price of $15 per share on March 4, 1997. The proceeds from
the public offering were $22,471,131 after deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions, and offering costs. The Company used net proceeds
of $5,435,188 to repay borrowings under its credit facility and $6,000,000
to increase the net capital of AmeriTrade Clearing, Inc., its clearing and
execution services subsidiary. The remainder of the net proceeds, which
are currently invested in short-term interest bearing investments, will be
used for marketing activities, the development and acquisition of new forms
of technology, and other general corporate purposes.
5. NET CAPITAL
The Company's subsidiaries are subject to the Net Capital Rule under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are required to maintain a minimum net
capital. Net capital and the related net capital requirement may fluctuate
on a daily basis.
The Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries had net capital, in the aggregate,
of $20,125,753 as of March 28, 1997, which exceeded aggregate minimum net
capital requirements by $14,270,327. Subsidiary net capital in the amount
of $5,855,426 as of March 28, 1997 is not available for transfer to the
Company.
ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's registration statement on
Form S-1, as amended, which became effective on March 4, 1997. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 28, 1997 AND MARCH 29, 1996
NET REVENUES. Commissions and clearing fees increased 34% to $12.7 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 1997 from $9.5 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
number of securities transactions processed, as average trades per day increased
75% to 6,512 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 from 3,721 in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in transaction processing volume was
primarily a result of a significant increase in advertising expenditures by the
Company's discount brokerage subsidiaries during the first half of fiscal 1997.
The increase in transactions processed was partially offset by a decrease in
average net revenue per trade of 22% to $47 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
from $60 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of an
increased proportion of trades generated by subsidiaries with commission
schedules which are lower than Company average.
7
<PAGE>
Net interest revenue (interest revenue less interest expense) increased 39% to
$3.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 from $2.8 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase was due primarily to an increase of
166% in average cash and cash equivalents segregated in compliance with federal
regulations, an increase of 18% in average customer and correspondent broker-
dealer receivables and an increase of 69% in amounts payable to customers and
correspondent broker-dealers in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 from the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Equity income from the Company's investments remained constant at $0.9 million
in the second quarters of both fiscal 1997 and 1996.
Other revenues increased 13% to $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal
1997 from $0.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, due primarily to an
increase in account service fees.
EXPENSES EXCLUDING INTEREST. Employee compensation and benefits expense
increased 45% to $4.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 from $3.3
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, due primarily to a corresponding
increase in full-time employees during the same period.
Commissions and clearance costs increased 33% to $0.8 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996,
due primarily to the 75% increase in transaction processing volume, offset in
part by efforts that the Company has undertaken to reduce execution, clearance,
settlement and depository costs with outside entities.
Communications expense increased 56% to $1.4 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 from $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily as
a result of the 75% increase in transaction processing volume, offset by cost
savings realized related to efficiencies implemented during the quarter.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased 100% to $1.2 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
The significant increase was due primarily to the lease of equipment to
accommodate the employment growth during the latter stages of fiscal 1996 and
the lease of approximately 15,000 square feet of additional space to meet growth
needs, as well as the onset of depreciation of the Company's Accutrade FOR
WINDOWS software, which was released in March 1996.
Advertising and promotional expenses increased 53% to $2.9 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $1.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as
the Company continued to increase its print, television and online advertising
expenditures.
Provision for losses decreased to $12,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
from $150,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1996. This decrease was due to a
loss incurred on an uncollectible customer trading account during the second
quarter of fiscal 1996.
Other operating expenses increased 100% to $1.8 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 from $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily as
a result of increased confirmation and statement processing costs associated
with the increase in transaction processing volume. In addition, the Company's
overall growth in active accounts in fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996 resulted in
additional costs associated with the customer tax year end reporting process.
Net income before provision for income taxes was substantially unchanged in the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1996, as
the income generated by the growth in trading activity during the second quarter
of fiscal 1997 was reinvested in advertising and promotional activities during
the same period. Income tax expense decreased 17% to $1.9 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 from $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1996,
due primarily to a decrease in the Company's effective state tax rate related to
its participation in economic development tax incentive programs offered by the
State of Nebraska.
8
<PAGE>
SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 28, 1997 AND MARCH 29, 1996
NET REVENUES. Commissions and clearing fees increased 30% to $23.1 million in
the first half of fiscal 1997 from $17.8 million in the first half of fiscal
1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of
securities transactions processed, as average trades per day increased 61% to
5,488 in the first half of fiscal 1997 from 3,401 in the first half of fiscal
1996. The increase in transaction processing volume was primarily a result of a
significant increase in advertising expenditures by the Company's discount
brokerage subsidiaries during the first half of fiscal 1997. The increase in
transactions processed was partially offset by a decrease in average net revenue
per trade of 20% to $49 in the first half of fiscal 1997 from $61 in the first
half of fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of an increased proportion of trades
generated by subsidiaries with commission schedules which are lower than Company
average.
Net interest revenue (interest revenue less interest expense) increased 33% to
$7.2 million in the first half of fiscal 1997 from $5.4 million in the first
half of fiscal 1996. This increase was due primarily to an increase of 108% in
average cash and cash equivalents segregated in compliance with federal
regulations, an increase of 26% in average customer and correspondent
broker-dealer receivables and an increase of 60% in average amounts payable to
customers and correspondent broker-dealers in the first half of fiscal 1997 from
the first half of fiscal 1996.
Equity income from the Company's investments increased 13% to $1.7 million in
the first half of fiscal 1997 from $1.5 million in the first half of fiscal
1996, due primarily to an increase in the Company's share in the net income of
Roundtable Partners, L.L.C. ("Roundtable") of 19% during the same period.
Rountable has ownership interests in two market making execution agents.
Other revenues increased 31% to $1.7 million in the first half of fiscal 1997
from $1.3 million in the first half of fiscal 1996, due primarily to an increase
in account service fees.
EXPENSES EXCLUDING INTEREST. Employee compensation and benefits expense
increased 45% to $9.0 million in the first half of fiscal 1997 from $6.2 million
in the first half of fiscal 1996, due primarily to a corresponding increase in
full-time employees during the same period.
Commissions and clearance costs remained unchanged at $1.4 million in the first
half of both fiscal 1997 and 1996. Increases in these costs related to the
increase in transaction processing volume were offset by efforts that the
Company has undertaken to reduce execution, clearance, settlement and depository
costs with outside entities.
Communications expense increased 63% to $2.6 million in the first half of fiscal
1997 from $1.6 million in the first half of fiscal 1996, primarily as a result
of the 61% increase in transaction processing volume.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased 109% to $2.3 million in the first half
of fiscal 1997 from $1.1 million in the first half of fiscal 1996. The
significant increase was due primarily to the lease of equipment to accommodate
the employment growth during the latter stages of fiscal 1996 and the lease of
approximately 15,000 square feet of additional space to meet growth needs, as
well as the onset of depreciation of the Company's Accutrade FOR WINDOWS
software, which was released in March 1996.
Advertising and promotional expenses increased 182% to $9.6 million in the first
half of fiscal 1997 from $3.4 million in the first half of fiscal 1996 as the
Company substantially increased its print, television and online advertising
expenditures in fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996.
Provision for losses decreased to $24,000 in the first half of fiscal 1997 from
$150,000 in the first half of fiscal 1996. This decrease was due to losses
incurred on an uncollectible customer trading account during the first half of
fiscal 1996.
9
<PAGE>
Other operating expenses increased 70% to $3.4 million in the first half of
fiscal 1997 from $2.0 million in the first half of fiscal 1996, primarily as a
result of increased confirmation and statement processing costs associated with
the increase in transaction processing volume. In addition, the Company's
overall growth in active accounts in fiscal 1997 over fiscal 1996 resulted in
additional costs associated with the customer tax year end reporting process.
Income tax expense decreased 51% to $2.0 million in the first half of fiscal
1997 from $4.1 million in the first half of fiscal 1996. This decrease was due
to a decline in income before taxes created primarily by the substantial
increase in advertising costs in the first half of fiscal 1997, together with a
decrease during the same period in the Company's effective state tax rate
related to its participation in economic development tax incentive programs
offered by the State of Nebraska.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has historically financed its growth primarily through the use of
funds generated from operations. In March 1997, the Company completed an initial
public offering of its common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $22.5 million.
Upon completion of the offering, the Company repaid its term and revolving debt
in their entirety, resulting in the use of proceeds of $5.4 million. The
Company has also terminated its previously available credit facility and
eliminated the related commitment fee. The Company anticipates based on
management's experience and current industry trends that its available cash
resources, combined with the remaining net proceeds from the initial public
offering, will be sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working capital
and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
OPERATING CASH FLOW
The Company used $5.1 million of cash in operations in the first half of fiscal
1997, compared to cash provided by operations of $2.9 million in the first half
of fiscal 1996. The decrease in the first half of fiscal 1997 was attributable
to the substantially increased advertising expenditures during the period,
combined with changes in the timing of dividend and interest payments received
from payors and subsequently paid to customers during fiscal 1997 compared to
fiscal 1996.
Cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million in the first half of fiscal
1997, compared to $2.7 million in the first half of fiscal 1996. The increased
use of cash in the first half of fiscal 1996 was primarily a result of
investments in Telescan, Inc. during that period. No such investments were made
during the first half of fiscal 1997.
Cash provided by financing activities was $17.6 million in the first half of
fiscal 1997, compared to $0.7 million in the first half of fiscal 1996. The
increase in fiscal 1997 was attributable to the net proceeds of the initial
public offering, offset in part by the repayment of all outstanding term and
revolving debt.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
The Company's anticipated capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 approximate $6.0
million, primarily for the purchase of office, computer and other operating
equipment.
