BRASS EAGLE INC.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(All information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and
1998 is unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies and practices followed by Brass Eagle are as follows:
Description of Business: Brass Eagle Inc. is a leading manufacturer of paintball markers and other paintball products. Brass Eagle sells its products through both major national domestic retailers and foreign distributors. The financial statements have been prepared using certain estimates and allocations (see below) and include only the accounts of Brass Eagle.
Interim Results: The accompanying condensed balance sheet at September 30, 1999 and the condensed statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and condensed statement of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full calendar year. Because all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles are not included, these interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Brass Eagle's 1998 Annual Report.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION
On January 4, 1999, Brass Eagle acquired certain assets of C. M. Support, Inc. of Dallas, Texas for $5.0 million in cash. The assets acquired were patents, trademarks, fixed assets and inventory. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with approximately $4.6 million allocated to intangible assets and $.4 million allocated to fixed assets and inventory.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Brass Eagle purchases certain raw material requirements from a company related through common ownership. Purchases from this company were $485,000 and $987,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999. In addition, Brass Eagle paid $0 and $268,000 for tooling to this company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999. Brass Eagle did not purchase from the related party prior to 1999.
NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On November 1, 1999 Brass Eagle entered into an agreement to form Challenge Park Xtreme, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company. The purpose of the co-venture is to own, construct and operate facilities for extreme sports recreation. Brass Eagle has committed to a $5.0 million equity investment for a controlling interest.
Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 and the 1998 Annual Report.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this filing and in other filings by Brass Eagle with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in press releases, presentations by Brass Eagle or its management and oral statements may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include statements regarding Brass Eagle's financial position, results of operations, market position, product development, re
(1) Intensifying competition, including specifically the intensification of price competition, the entry of new competitors and the introduction of new products by new and existing competitors
(2) Failure to obtain new customers or retain existing customers
(3) Inability to carry out marketing and sales plans
(4) Loss of key executives
(5) General economic and business conditions which are less favorable than expected
(6) Unanticipated changes in industry trends.
YEAR 2000
As is true for most companies, the Year 2000 computer issue could create a risk for Brass Eagle Inc. If systems do not correctly recognize date information when the year changes to 2000, there could be an adverse impact on Brass Eagle's operations. The risk for Brass Eagle exists in the following areas: systems used by Brass Eagle to run its business, systems used by Brass Eagle's suppliers and systems used by Brass Eagle's customers and service providers.
Brass Eagle conducted a comprehensive inventory and evaluation of its systems. Brass Eagle's information technology infrastructure consists of a business enterprise resource planning system, departmental workstations, application servers, and a network system that links all systems at each location. It is important to Brass Eagle's operations that these computer systems are compliant. Brass Eagle also has several non-information technology systems that use dates electronically that have been reviewed for
At present, all application and departmental servers have been tested, 100% of networking infrastructure has been certified and the enterprise resource planning Unix server has been upgraded.
During 1997, Brass Eagle upgraded its primary business enterprise system to a version that is Year 2000 compliant. Brass Eagle completed comprehensive, full system testing in the fourth quarter of 1998. The underlying database and raw data have been either modified to support four digit years or the application has been modified and tested to support correct date calculations using two digit years.
Brass Eagle has also contacted its critical suppliers to determine that the suppliers' operations and the products and services they provide are Year 2000 compliant. Where practicable, Brass Eagle will attempt to mitigate its risks with respect to the failure of suppliers to be Year 2000 ready. The vendors that Brass Eagle considers to be critical to its business have responded and Brass Eagle is satisfied with their plans to operate without interruption into the next century. In the event that suppliers
Brass Eagle's financial institution has provided reasonable assurance of Year 2000 operational compliance. While we can not guarantee the performance of outside parties, we will continue to monitor their state of readiness, and if necessary seek an alternative financial institution.
Brass Eagle sent questionnaires to several customers and is satisfied by their responses. Brass Eagle has tested Electronic Data Interchange order receipt and invoicing for key customers.
Brass Eagle has certified all external providers of mission critical services. These services include telecommunications, security and electrical. Brass Eagle does not expect any issue with respect to Year 2000 concerns that will lead to significant service interruptions.
Since Brass Eagle is a relatively new company, most of its computer equipment and software is Year 2000 certified. The external cost for Brass Eagle, in its efforts to become Year 2000 compliant in 1998, was approximately $35,000. The internal cost of Year 2000 compliance is not measured by Brass Eagle. No significant costs relating to Year 2000 compliance have been incurred through September and none are anticipated for the remainder of 1999.
Management believes its actions to be sufficient for Year 2000 remediation. However, management plans to monitor all critical systems at the change of the millenium and other critical dates in order to promptly respond to any systems issues which may arise.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Sales. Sales increased by 11.9% to $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $13.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in sales was primarily due to sales of accessories from the Viewloader product-line acquisition and certain markers. Primarily all of the $1.6 million increase in sales was due to an increase of volume.
Domestic sales increased by 10.0% to $14.3 million (or 94.5% of sales) for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $13.0 million (or 95.8% of sales) for the three months ended September 30, 1998. International sales increased by 48.8% to $838,000 (5.5% of sales) for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $563,000 (or 4.2% of sales) for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in international sales was primarily due to increased sales to Canadian customers and a European dis
Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 34.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This increase was in part due to the Brass Eagle paintball production facility start-up costs of $376,000 being included in the gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1998 with no such costs included for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Brass Eagle also achieved a favorable ra
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by 11.5% to $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase of $.3 million was primarily due to increased distribution costs and additional amortization associated with acquiring certain assets from C. M. Support, and retail store expenses offset by decreased product development cost.
Operating Income. Operating income increased by 55.0% to $3.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to increased sales and improved gross profit percentages.
Interest. Brass Eagle recorded interest income of $41,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to interest income of $69,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1998. The change was primarily due to a reduction of cash in short-term investments associated with funds expended to build and equip Brass Eagle's new paintball facility completed during 1998 and the acquisition of certain assets from C. M. Support in January 1999.
Income Tax Rate. Brass Eagle's effective federal and state income tax rate was 37.5% in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 38.5% in the three months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in the income tax rate is due to Brass Eagle qualifying for certain Missouri enterprise zone tax credits.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Sales. Sales increased by 6.0% to $51.6 million for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $48.7 million for the first nine months of 1998. The increase in sales of $2.9 million was due to an increase of $4.1 million in volume offset by a $1.2 million decrease in price. The increase in volume was primarily due to sales of accessories from the Viewloader product-line acquisition and increased sales of certain markers. The decrease in price was primarily a decrease in the average s
Domestic sales increased by 3.6% to $49.3 million (or 95.5% of sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $47.6 million (or 97.7% of sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. International sales increased by 109.1% to $2.3 million (or 4.5% of sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $1.1 million (or 2.3% of sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. International sales increased primarily because of increased sales to Canadian customers and a European di
Gross profit Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 41.1% for the first nine months of 1999 compared to 35.7% for the first nine months of 1998. This increase was primarily due to Brass Eagle generating a favorable raw material purchase price variance by obtaining volume discounts and resourcing certain requirements. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 Brass Eagle included $667,000 for the paintball production facility start-up costs in gross profit with no such
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by 8.6% to $10.1 million the first nine months of 1999 compared to $9.3 million in the first nine months of 1998. This represented an increase from 19.2% of sales to 19.6% of sales as a result of increased distribution and product development cost, additional amortization associated with acquiring certain assets from C. M. Support in January, 1999 and expenses to operate the retail store, which opened in November 1998. These increases wer
Operating income. Operating income increased by 38.8% to $11.1 million in the first nine months of 1999 compared to $8.0 million in the first nine months of 1998. The increase was primarily due to increased sales and improved gross profit percentages.
Interest. Brass Eagle recorded interest income of $161,000 in the first nine months of 1999 compared to interest income of $300,000 in the first nine months of 1998. The change was primarily due to a reduction of cash in short-term investment associated with funds expended to build and equip Brass Eagle's new paintball facility completed during 1998 and the acquisition of certain assets from C. M. Support in January 1999.
Income tax rate. Brass Eagle's effective federal and state income tax rate was 37.5% in the first nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 38.4% for the first nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in the income tax rate is due to Brass Eagle qualifying for certain Missouri enterprise zone tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 1999 Brass Eagle had working capital of $26.1 million. Brass Eagle has in place a $10 million line of credit with Bank of America. Brass Eagle is planning capital expenditures of approximately $0.2 million for the remainder of 1999 for the expansion and improvement of manufacturing capacity.
Brass Eagle believes that funds generated from operations, together with borrowings under the credit facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 18 months. Brass Eagle may, when and if the opportunity arises, acquire or participate in other businesses or ventures involved in activities or having product lines that are compatible with those of Brass Eagle or pursue the vertical integration of production capabilities for one or more of Brass Eagle's products w chased from third parties.
