COLLINS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) General
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary
to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results
of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 1995
and 1994, and the changes in its financial position for the six
months ended April 30, 1995 and 1994.
(2) Inventories
Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing
overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market.
Major classes of inventories as of April 30, 1995 and October 31,
1994, consisted of the following:
April 30, October 31,
1995 1994
Chassis $ 6,852,130 $ 7,272,003
Raw materials & components 10,237,063 9,291,001
Work in process 5,498,622 5,425,766
Finished goods 3,955,780 3,092,399
$26,543,595 $25,081,169
<PAGE>
(3) Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
On March 28, 1995 the Company's Board of Directors adopted a
stockholders rights plan (Plan) and declared a dividend
distribution of one right (Right) for each outstanding share of
Common Stock to stockholders of record on April 20, 1995. Under
the terms of the Plan each Right entitles the holder to purchase
one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred
Stock (Unit) at an exercise price of $7.44 per Unit. The Rights
are exercisable a specified number of days following (i) the
acquisition by a person or group of persons of 20% or more of the
Company's Common Stock or (ii) the commencement of a tender offer
or an exchange offer for 20% or more of the Company's Common
Stock or (iii) when a majority of the Company's Unaffiliated
Directors (as defined) declares that a Person is deemed to be an
Adverse Person (as defined) upon determination that such Adverse
Person has become the beneficial owner of at least 10% of the
Company's Common Stock. The Company has reserved 750,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, $.10 par value, for issuance upon the
exercise of the Rights. The Company may redeem the Rights in
whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Rights expire on
April 1, 2005 unless redeemed earlier by the Company.
(4) Earnings per Share
Earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average
outstanding common and common equivalent shares.
(5) Contingencies and Litigation
At April 30, 1995 the Company had contingencies and litigation
pending which arose in the ordinary course of business.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of
the individual matters is not presently determinable. It is
management's opinion that this litigation would not result in
liabilities that would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position.
(6) Subsequent Event
On May 9, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with
NationsBank of Georgia, N.A., Atlanta, Georgia, for a $33.05
million credit facility. The agreement provides for a revolving
credit facility of $25.0 million and a long-term credit facility
of $8.05 million. The revolving credit facility bears interest
at 1-1/4% over the Bank's prime rate, which is currently nine
percent (9%). The long-term facility bears interest at 1-1/4% to
1-1/2% over the Bank's prime rate. The proceeds of the new
credit facility were used to repay the Company's Senior Debt and
chassis financing in the amount of $23.0 million.
<PAGE>
Due to the early extinguishment of the Senior Debt, the Company
will incur a non-cash extraordinary charge of approximately
$475,000 in its third fiscal quarter ending July 31, 1995.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Sales for the six months ended April 30, 1995 were $68.4 million
compared to $65.0 million for the same period in fiscal 1994.
This increase was principally due to improved sales of ambulance
products. The overall sales increase was partially offset by
declines in commercial bus and school bus sales.
Sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 were $34.9 million
compared to $38.4 million for the same period in fiscal 1994.
This decrease was principally due to a decline in commercial bus
sales and lower chassis sales from greater customer supplied
school bus chassis.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the six months ended April 30, 1995 were 87.3%
of sales compared to 87.5% of sales for the same period in fiscal
1994.
Cost of sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 were 86.4% of
sales compared to 85.7% of sales for the same period in fiscal
1994. This increase was principally due to the impact of the
fixed production costs associated with commercial bus and school
bus operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.9 million or
10.0% of sales for the six months ended April 30, 1995 compared
to $6.3 million or 9.6% for the same period in fiscal 1994. The
overall increase of $.6 million was principally due to higher
selling and marketing costs associated with the ambulance
division's sales increase.
<PAGE>
Other Income (Expense)
Special non-recurring expenses of $1.0 million were not incurred
in the three and six months ended April 30, 1994. These expenses
were not incurred in fiscal 1995 and related to the legal and
other costs associated with the SEC investigation which was
settled in November, 1994.
Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 1995 was $1.8
million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in fiscal
1994. Substantially all of this increase resulted from increases
in the Company's average borrowing rates associated with the
increased interest rates on the Senior Notes and bank debt.
Interest expense for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 was $1.0
million compared to $.9 million for the same period in fiscal
1994. This increase was principally due to the same reasons as
discussed in the preceding paragraph.
In May, 1995 the Company completed a new $33.05 million credit
facility with NationsBank of Georgia, N.A. The interest rates
under the new credit facility are significantly lower than under
the Company's previous debt structure. Accordingly, it is
anticipated that future interest expense will decrease.
Other income for the six months ended April 30, 1995 included the
gain from the sale of vacant land of $99,667. No similar
transactions occurred in the same period of fiscal 1994.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company's net income was $.2 million ($.02 per share) for the
six months ended April 30, 1995 compared to a net loss of $.9
million ($.12 per share) for the same period in fiscal 1994.
This improvement was principally due to the improved operations
in the Company's ambulance and handicapped products divisions and
the elimination of the special non-recurring expenses incurred in
fiscal 1994. The improvement in net income was partially offset
by the losses in the Company's commercial bus and school bus
divisions.
The Company's net income for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 was
$.4 million ($.06 per share) compared to $.2 million ($.03 per
share) for the same period in fiscal 1994. The net income change
is principally due to the same reasons discussed in the
immediately preceding paragraph.
<PAGE>
In connection with the previously described financing with
NationsBank an extraordinary non-cash charge of approximately
$475,000 will be taken in the third quarter ending
July 31, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company used existing credit lines, internally generated
funds and supplier financing to finance its operations and
capital expenditures for the six months ended April 30, 1995.
Cash provided by operations was $.4 million for the six months
ended April 30, 1995. The primary sources of cash provided by
operations for the six months ended April 30, 1995 was net income
and decreases in receivables and prepaid expenses. These sources
of cash were partially offset by an increase in inventories and a
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash provided by investing activities was $.4 million for the six
months ended April 30, 1995. The principal sources of cash
provided by investing activities was attributable to the proceeds
realized from the sale of vacant land. This source was partially
offset by capital expenditures and other investments.
Cash used in financing activities was $2.5 million for the six
months ended April 30, 1995. The primary uses of cash for
financing activities related to the repayments of Senior Debt,
bank debt and chassis financing.
In May, 1995, the Company completed a $33.05 million credit
facility with NationsBank of Georgia, N.A.. The proceeds were
used to retire the Company's Senior Debt and chassis financing in
the amount of $23.0 million. Future cash flow requirements under
this financing are lower than under the Company's previous debt
structure.
The Company believes that its cash flows from operations and
funds available from the new credit facility described above will
be sufficient to satisfy its future working capital and capital
expenditure requirements.
At April 30, 1995 there were no significant or unusual
contractual commitments or capital expenditure commitments.
