ACME UNITED CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and the results of its
operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1995 and 1994 and changes in the cash flows for the
three and six months then ended. The financial statements
reflect all recurring adjustments but do not include all
of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles or those normally made in the annual
Form 10-K filing. Please refer to the Company's annual
report for year ended December 31, 1994 for such
disclosures.
2. The results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
3. Net Income per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent
shares (common stock options) outstanding using the
treasury stock method.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales increased $226,000 or 2% and $646,000
or 2% for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995 as compared to the similar periods in 1994. Net sales
for consumer operations increased $340,000 or 3% and
$843,000 or 5% for the three and six month periods in 1995
over 1994 which can be attributed to a 6% and 11% sales
increase in U.S. Consumer operations for the three and six
months, respectively. Net sales for medical operations
decreased $115,000 or 3% and $197,000 or 2% for the three
and six month periods in 1995 over 1994 mainly due to a
volume decrease in some wound care products.
Net sales from U.S. operations were $9,546,000 and
$18,068,000 for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1995, an increase of $256,000 or 3% and $929,000 or 5%,
respectively. Foreign operations net sales were $4,924,000
and $9,300,000 for the three and six month periods which
resulted in a decrease of $30,000 or 1% and $283,000 or 3%,
respectively, compared to 1994. Foreign sales were
positively impacted on translation by approximately
$900,000, primarily on the strength of the German mark and
British pound.
Gross Profit Margin
The consolidated gross profit margin for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 was 29%, as compared to
28% and 27%, respectively, in 1994. The medical operation
margins were 37% for the three and six month periods in 1995
as compared to 38% and 37% for the same periods in 1994
which can be attributed to product sales mix and the
decision not to pass on higher costs on selected products
because of competitive market conditions. The consumer
operation margins were 26% and 25% for the three and six
month periods in 1995, compared to 23% and 22%,
respectively, which can be attributed to product sales mix,
lower manufacturing costs and price increases.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$12,000 and increased $139,000 or 2% for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 over 1994. The Company
has selectively reduced costs in 1995 which has been offset
by inflationary increases and the effect of a stronger
German mark and British pound on the translation of results.
<PAGE>
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $122,000 and $222,000 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 as compared
to 1994 which is attributable to increased average
borrowings and higher interest rates on the U.S. revolving
line of credit.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 was 22% and negative 12% as compared to
18% and negative 171% for 1994. The consolidated effective
tax rates vary from year to year because income (loss)
before taxes vary from year to year by country of operation
and the statutory rates and laws vary by country of
operation.
Liquidity and Capital Commitments
The Company's working capital, current ratio and long term
debt to equity ratio are as follows:
June 30, 1995 December 31, 1994
_________________ _________________
Working capital $23,413,000 $21,035,000
Current ratio 3.02 to 1 3.23 to 1
Long term debt to equity ratio .90 .80
Capital expenditures were $538,000 and $618,000 for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. The 1995
capital expenditures are expected to be approximately
$1,200,000.
The Company has a $13,000,000 U.S. revolving line of credit
due to expire in March l997 and foreign overdraft
arrangements due to expire at various times in 1995. Based
on maintaining the U.S. revolving line of credit and foreign
overdraft arrangements, current cash balances and cash flow
from operations, the Company believes it can meet capital
expenditure and other planned financial commitments in 1995.
