RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales increased 52% in the first quarter of fiscal year ending August 1998
to $2,988,000. This represents a volume increase of $1,018,000 as compared to
the first quarter of 1996. The majority of the sales increase is due to
increased production and tubing requirements of our customer, Ford Truck
Division, Louisville, Kentucky. There are no price increases in net sales for
this period. The reason being is that the truck industry does not allow price
increases on parts once placed in production.
Gross profits from operations increased to 26.1% of sales during the quarter
November 30, 1997, as compared to year earlier period of 12.9%. This positive
result is primarily due to a reduction of raw material cost, and secondarily to
increased labor efficiency.
Selling and Administrative expenses decreased to 8.0% of sales during the
quarter as compared to 9.5% of the year earlier period.
Net income increased to $327,000 for the quarter as compared to $14,000 of the
previous year. The significant improvement in net income is the result of
stable margins on improved sales and the reduction of material cost and other
expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The company's cash flow position before financing activities for the three
months ending November 30, 1997, generated $383,000. This cash flow, along
with a bank balance reduction of $260,000, was used to reduce short and
long-term debt.
CONTINGENT MATTERS
There are no contingencies or consequential uncertainties known that will
materially affect the financial information as presented.
