Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB 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. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month
period ended December 1, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 1997. For further
information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to
Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended August 31, 1996. Certain prior year amounts may have been
reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated sales for the first quarter ended December 1, 1996
(fiscal 1997) were $4,776,220, a decrease of 17.6% when compared to sales of
the first quarter of the 1996 fiscal year. The decrease in first quarter sales
is due to a 21.7% decline in sales reported by Glassmaster Controls Company
("Controls"). Shipments by this division continue to be impacted by a slowdown
in the medium and heavy duty truck manufacturing business that is expected to
continue well into 1997. Sales by the Monofilament Division were 18.4% lower
than the prior year first quarter due primarily to a decrease in shipments of
nylon weed trimmer line and Nybrad abrasive monofilaments. First quarter sales
by the Composites Division increased 2% compared to last year.
Gross profit margins realized during the first quarter were 15.9% of
sales compared to 16.8% of sales in the prior year quarter. The decrease in
profit margins is due to reduced production levels at Controls that were
adjusted in response to the lower sales volume.
Selling, G&A, and Other expenses totalled $687,679 during the first
quarter, a decrease of 11.5% when compared to the first quarter of the 1996
fiscal year though as a percent of sales, these expenses increased from 13.2%
last year to 14.4% this year. Interest Expense was $151,402 this year compared
with $152,142 during the prior year first quarter. Interest Expense increased
from 2.6% of sales last year to 3.2% of sales this year due to this year's
lower quarterly sales.
Net Consolidated Income (Loss) during the current year first quarter
was ($47,319) compared with $34,611 last year. This year's first quarter
includes an income tax benefit of $30,465 due to the pre-tax loss and the
availability of the net operating loss carry-back whereas last year's first
quarter Net Income included a provision for income tax expense of $16,426.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The working capital of the company decreased by approximately $119,000
during the first quarter primarily due to the repayment of long-term debt
($167,000) coinciding with the net operating loss. Capital additions were
modest ($93,000) during the quarter and no significant capital expenditures are
currently planned.
The net operating assets and liabilities of the company increased by
approximately $100,000 due primarily to increases in accounts receivable
($324,000) and inventories ($335,000). The increased operating capital
requirement was funded by supplier trade credit and by borrowings under
short-term credit facilities secured by receivables and inventories. These
financing agreements provide for total revolving credit up to $4.5 million. As
of December 1, 1996, borrowings outstanding under the credit lines were
approximately $2.2 million.
The company currently anticipates that its cash requirements during the
remainder of this fiscal year will be provided by operating activities and from
existing and committed credit facilities.
