NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Quarters Ended September 27, 1996 and 1995
The information furnished reflects all adjustments which, in the
opinion of the Company, are necessary to present fairly its consolidated
financial position and the results of its operations and changes in financial
position for the periods indicated.
Reference is made to the Company's annual financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1995, for a description of the accounting policies,
which have been continued without change. Also refer to the footnotes with those
annual statements for additional details of the Company's financial condition,
results of operations and changes in cash flows. The details in those notes have
not changed except as a result of normal transactions in the interim.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Quarters Ended September 27, 1996 and 1995
For the third quarter and nine months ended September 27, 1996,
revenues increased to $57 million and $170 million, respectively, an 11% and 19%
increase over last year's comparable periods. These increases reflect continued
growth in the core staffing business, which is up over 26% compared to last
year's third quarter. Year 2000 services revenues, which were virtually nil in
1995, reached $2.8 million in the third quarter of 1996. The Company's solutions
revenues, impacted by the unexpected termination of certain contracts in the
second quarter of this year, did not grow year-over-year.
Direct costs, as a percentage of revenues, was 69.4% in the third
quarter of this year, unchanged from a year ago. For the nine months, direct
costs decreased to 69.9% from 70.5%. The Company is committed to maintaining and
improving gross margins through cost control and providing more value added
services.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased, as a percentage
of revenues, from 21.2% in 1995's third quarter and first nine months, to 23.0%
and 22.2% in this year's third quarter and first nine months, respectively. The
increase is primarily attributable to the investments associated with the
Company's Year 2000 strategy, investments in engagement and technical managers
necessary to pursue this new business, as well as marketing expenses incurred to
raise the Company's visibility through public relations, trade shows and
conferences.
Other income/expense improved in the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1996, primarily due to the Company's equity in the operating results
of its Birla Horizons joint venture, which was formed in 1995, as well as to
additional interest income received and interest expense saved relating to the
funds provided by the 1995 secondary public offering.
Income before income taxes was down in the third quarter of this year
as compared to last year's third quarter, $4.5 million vs. $4.9 million, but
increased for the first nine months of this year, $14.0 million vs. $11.8
million. Income before income taxes was adversely affected in the second quarter
and early third quarter of 1996, by the unexpected termination of certain
contracts. The substantial expenditures made by the Company to build the
infrastructure necessary and capable of handling the major Year 2000 conversion
projects being pursued has also affected the pre-tax numbers.
The effective tax rate for Federal, state and local income taxes was
42% for the three months and nine months ended September 27, 1996, compared to
43% and 44% for the comparable 1995 periods.
Net income was $2.6 million for the third quarter of 1996 vs. $2.8
million for the third quarter of 1995. Earnings per share were $.16 as compared
to $.17, on 16.9 million shares in 1996's third quarter vs. 16.4 million shares
a year ago. The increased shares were principally the result of the accounting
impact of a higher common stock price on existing stock options. Net income
increased by 21% for 1996's first nine months to $8.1 million vs. $6.7 million
or $.48 per share vs. $.44 per share as compared to 1995's first nine months.
1995's earnings per share have been restated to reflect the 50% stock
distribution declared by the Company on December 12, 1995.
<PAGE>
As of September 27, 1996, the Company had a current ratio position of
3.8 to 1, a cash position of $6.3 million and available bank lines of credit of
$25.0 million. The Company continuously reviews its future cash requirements,
together with its available bank lines of credit and internally generated funds.
The Company believes it will meet all working capital obligations and fund
further development of its business for at least the next 12 months.
