Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at August 31, 1996 was $6,422,734, an increase of
$86,182 from May 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents decreased
approximately sixteen percent during the three-month period ended August
31, 1996. Cash was used to fund normal working capital requirements,
including acquisition of property, plant and equipment additions,
payment of dividends and payment of matured accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. Accounts receivable increased approximately eleven percent
primarily due to the timing of shipments during the quarter. Inventories
decreased approximately six percent. Accounts payable and accrued
liabilities decreased approximately nine percent primarily due to
payment of normal maturities and accrued expenses during the three-month
period.
The current ratio at August 31, 1996 is 6.8 to 1 (5.5 to 1 at May 31,
1996). Total liabilities to assets equals fourteen percent (seventeen
percent at May 31, 1996).
The Company factors its accounts receivable with a commercial factor on
a matured basis. (Funds are remitted by the factor upon maturity of the
invoices, plus a set number of collection days). The factor establishes
a credit line per customer on a non-recourse basis. Credit extended by
the company in excess of the credit line is factored on a recourse
basis.
Capital acquisition and improvement expenditures totaled $34,037 during
the three-month period ended August 31, 1996. It is estimated that
approximately $65,000 additional capital expenditures will be made over
the next three quarters, consisting primarily of equipment and
improvements to existing facilities. Funding will come from cash flows
generated through operating activities. No significant disposition of
equipment occurred during the three-month period ended August 31, 1996.
The Company does not offer a retirement plan nor offer post retirement
or employment benefits. Accordingly, there will be no impact on the
Company due to SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions" and SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Post Employment Benefits".
Based on current operations and internally generated cash flows,
management believes that adequate resources will be available to meet
current and future liquidity requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
August 31, 1996 first quarter net sales decreased approximately four
percent compared to the first quarter of the previous year. The
decrease resulted primarily from a slightly softer product demand and
product sales mix.
Cost of sales, as a percentage relationship to net sales, decreased
approximately four-tenths of one percentage point from the first quarter
last year. The percentage decrease resulted primarily from slightly
lower manufacturing costs partially offset by higher sales allowances.
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately two
and one-half of one percentage point as a percentage relationship to net
sales compared to last year's first quarter. The percentage increase
resulted primarily from lower net sales and slightly higher
administrative costs. The provision for bad debt expense was $22,500,
the same as 1995.
Other income increased approximately forty-seven percent from the first
quarter last year, resulting primarily from rental from property not
used in operations.
Interest income increased approximately two hundred and twenty seven
percent compared to the first quarter of the previous year due primarily
to higher average cash balances.
Interest expense, compared to last year's first quarter, was
approximately twenty seven percent lower. The decrease resulted
primarily from lower factor interest charges on recourse accounts
receivable.
The federal income tax provision effective tax rate of 35.6 percent
differs from the statutory rate (34 percent) as a result of
nondeductible life insurance premiums, nondeductible portion of meals,
accelerated depreciation, capitalization of certain expenses in
inventories and the difference between the doubtful account reserve and
writeoff.
