TOM'S FOODS INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FORMATION AND ORGANIZATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Tom's Foods Inc. have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary
for a fair presentation for the periods presented. Results for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for a full fiscal year.
FISCAL YEAR
The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday
nearest to December 31. The current year, fiscal 1998, ends January 2, 1999 and
contains 52 weeks. The Company's first three quarters contain twelve weeks of
results while the fourth quarter contains 16 or 17 weeks coinciding with the
Company's fiscal year.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the average cost for raw materials, packaging materials, and work in process.
Finished goods cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost
elements include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, and overhead incurred
in the manufacturing process.
REFINANCING
On October 14, 1997, the Company sold $60,000,000 of 10.5% Senior Secured Notes
(the "Notes") due November 1, 2004. The Notes are secured by a first lien on and
security interest in substantially all of the assets and properties owned by the
Company, except those that are security for other debt obligations. The
indenture relating to the Notes has certain covenants, as defined. The Company
may not redeem the Notes prior to November 1, 2001, and following that date, the
Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices, as
defined. In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company incurred $3.5
million in fees and expenses which were capitalized and are being amortized over
the life of the Notes.
The proceeds from the Notes were used to pay certain of the Company's debt
obligations. Amounts paid included $40,000,000 toward obligations due to TFH
Corp. (the Company's parent), $8,336,000 to the lender under a senior credit
agreement, and $10,000,000 to satisfy the note payable and outstanding amounts
relating to the Company's guarantee obligations with a
Page 6
<PAGE> 7
financial institution. After the disbursements of proceeds from the Notes, the
remaining portion of the TFH Corp. obligations, including accrued interest
thereon, was converted to $7,000,000 of Class A preferred stock and $21,755,000
of Class B preferred stock.
The Class A preferred stock ranks senior to the Class B preferred stock.
Dividends on the Class A preferred stock and the Class B preferred stock accrue
at a rate of 10.5% and 9.5%, respectively. Dividends accrued to the Class A
preferred stock are included in interest expense in the statement of operations.
Dividends accrued to the Class B preferred stock are included in the accumulated
deficit.
The payment of $8,336,000 satisfied all outstanding term loans under a senior
credit agreement which the Company had entered into on August 30, 1996. Prior to
the offering of the Notes, the senior credit agreement provided for a revolving
loan, letter-of-credit accommodations, a term loan, and additional equipment
loans. After the payment, as part of the offering of the Notes, the senior
credit agreement was amended to include only letter-of-credit accommodations and
a revolving loan facility.
HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("Statement 133"), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value
be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
are met.
The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and
does not use them for trading purposes. The Company enters into various futures
contracts and futures options to reduce the impact of volatility in raw material
prices.
Statement 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The
Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting Statement 133 on its
financial statements and has not determined the timing or method of its adoption
of Statement 133.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 20, 1998
COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED JUNE 14, 1997
Net Sales for the second quarter ended June 20, 1998 were $50.0 million,
virtually even with the corresponding period in 1997.
Gross Profit increased to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 1998 from $19.1
million in the second quarter of 1997, an increase of $834,000 or 4.4%. The
Gross Profit percentage of 39.9% for the second quarter of 1998 was 1.7
percentage points higher than the second quarter of 1997
Page 7
<PAGE> 8
due to a favorable product mix (including benefits from new product
introductions) and continued efforts to reduce raw material costs and improve
manufacturing efficiencies.
Selling and Administrative Expenses were $17.7 million in the second quarter, an
increase of $0.4 million from $17.3 million in the comparable 1997 period. Most
of this increase can be directly attributed to the Company's acquisition of
certain distributor operations during the early part of the second quarter.
The increase in Amortization expense of approximately $116,000 for the second
quarter over the prior year second quarter was the result of the capitalization
and amortization of the transaction costs associated with the issuance of the
Notes in October 1997.
Other Income was $380,000 for the second quarter 1998 compared to $202,000 for
the corresponding period in 1997 due primarily to an increase in vend rental
income and a gain on the disposal of certain assets in the normal course of
business.
Interest Expense, net of interest income, decreased to $1.9 million for the
second quarter 1998 from $2.4 million in the prior year's second quarter due to
lower debt levels and interest rates following the issuance of the Notes in
October 1997.
The Provision for Income Taxes was $115,000 in the second quarters of 1998 and
1997 primarily for state income and franchise taxes. The Company estimates that
it will have no Federal Tax obligation for the 1998 fiscal year due to loss
carryforwards from prior years.
The Net Profit for the twelve week period ended June 20, 1998 of $100,000 was an
improvement of $900,000 over the same period ended June 14, 1997 primarily due
to the improved operating performance and lower net interest expense.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents the sum of income (loss) before income taxes plus interest expense,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a widely accepted measure of a
Company's ability to incur and service debt, to undertake capital expenditures,
and to meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should
not be considered an alternative either to net income as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an indicator of the Company's liquidity.
EBITDA for the second quarter of 1998 was $4.2 million as compared to $3.8
million for the same period in 1997.
TWENTY FOUR WEEKS ENDED JUNE 20, 1998
COMPARED TO TWENTY FOUR WEEKS ENDED JUNE 14, 1997
Net Sales for the twenty four weeks ended June 20, 1998 were $95.7 million, a
decrease of 4.8% or $4.8 million compared to the corresponding period in 1997.
Most of the sales decrease in 1998 was due to anticipated decreases in contract
sales (especially during the first quarter) versus the same period in 1997.
Gross Profit dollars for the first twenty four weeks of 1998 were flat to the
corresponding period of 1997. The Gross Profit percentage of 39.3% for the first
twenty four weeks of 1998 was 1.9 percentage points higher than the
corresponding period of 1997 due to a favorable product mix
Page 8
<PAGE> 9
(including benefits from new product introductions) and continued efforts to
reduce raw material costs and improve manufacturing efficiencies.
Selling and Administrative expenses for 1998 increased slightly to $35.1 million
from $34.7 million in the comparable 1997 period, an increase of 1.1% or
$379,000. Increased Selling expenses due to the acquisition of certain
distributor operations in the early part of the second quarter of 1998 were the
primary factor behind the increase.
Amortization expense increased approximately $231,000 year over year due to the
capitalization and amortization of costs associated with the issuance of the
Notes in October 1997.
Other Income was $896,000 for the first twenty four weeks of 1998 compared to
$513,000 for the corresponding period in 1997 due primarily to an increase in
vend rental income and a gain on the disposal of certain assets in the normal
course of business.
Interest Expense, net of interest income, decreased to $3.7 million for the
first twenty four weeks of 1998 from $4.7 million in the prior year's
corresponding period due to lower debt levels and interest rates following the
issuance of the Notes in October 1997.
The Provision for Income Taxes was $230,000 in 1998 versus $231,000 in 1997
primarily for state income and franchise taxes. The Company estimates that it
will have no Federal Tax obligation for the fiscal year due to loss
carryforwards from prior years.
The Net Loss for the twenty four week period ended June 20, 1998 of $1.6 million
was $800,000 lower than for the same period ended June 14, 1997 primarily due to
the improved operating performance and lower net interest expense.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
represents the sum of income (loss) before income taxes plus interest expense,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a widely accepted measure of a
Company's ability to incur and service debt, to undertake capital expenditures,
and to meet working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should
not be considered an alternative either to net income as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance or as an indicator of the Company's liquidity.
EBITDA for the first twenty four weeks of 1998 was $6.7 million, comparatively
even with the $6.7 million for the same period in 1997.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash flow requirements are for working capital, capital
expenditures and debt service. The Company has met its liquidity needs to date
through internally generated funds and a revolving line of credit established in
August 1996 as amended October 1997. As of June 20, 1998, the Company had actual
borrowings of $4.1 million under the revolving line, had letters of credit
outstanding of $2.0 million and had $7.5 million in borrowing availability
thereunder.
The Company's working capital improved to $13.9 million as of June 20, 1998 from
$11.9 million for the same period in 1997.
Page 9
<PAGE> 10
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.8 million for the first half of
1998. The net changes in receivables, inventory, accounts payable and other
working capital items are normal for the Company's second quarter driven by a
seasonal inventory build-up and the timing of the payment at the beginning of
the second quarter of incentives to distributors and management earned during
the prior year. An increase in contract sales and the timing of collections on
accounts receivable at the second quarter's end also contributed to the increase
in accounts receivable.
The inventory growth of $3.3 million in the first two quarters of 1998 versus
year end 1997 was largely due to the timing of peanut purchases made in the
latter part of the first quarter of 1998. Accounts payable decreased by $2.5
million during the first half of 1998 compared to a $4.4 million decrease in the
first half of 1997 primarily due to lower year-end accounts payable balances at
the end of 1997 than at the end of 1996.
Capital expenditures were $3.1 million and $1.9 million in first half of 1998
and 1997, respectively. These funds were used to support manufacturing
operations, the acquisition of distribution and equipment, and the Company's
investment in Information Systems.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.6 million in 1998 from the use
of the Company's line of credit and seller financing from the acquisition of
certain distributorships versus very little net financing activity in the first
half of 1997.
The Company believes that internally generated funds, financing arrangements
with the Golden Peanut Company for peanut purchases and amounts available
through its revolving line of credit are and will continue to be sufficient to
satisfy its operating cash requirements and planned capital expenditures.
