ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the
periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of
income.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER COMPARISON 1997 vs. 1996
Net sales were $ 12,702,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to
$15,381,000 in the first quarter of 1996 a decrease of $2,679,000 or 17.4%.
Sales of sporting goods decreased $2,786,000 or 25.5% and sales of office and
graphic arts products increased $107,000 or 2.4%.
The decrease in sporting goods sales was mainly due to decreased volume
caused by excess inventory carryover from the prior year by several large
customers and about 25% of the decrease was due to the discontinuance of the
yard games and fitness product lines. The increase in office and graphic arts
machines and equipment sales is primarily due to increased export sales.
Cost of sales was $9,105,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as compared
to $11,128,000 in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $2,023,000 or 18.2%.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 71.7% in the first
quarter of 1997 as compared to 72.3% in the first quarter of 1996. Sporting
goods cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 3.3% and office and
graphic arts machines and equipment cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
decreased 2.9%. The increase in the sporting goods percentage was mainly in
material cost and the decrease in the office and graphic arts machines and
equipment percentage was mainly in factory expense.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,120,000 in the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to $3,552,000 in the first quarter of 1996, a
decrease of $432,000 or 12.2%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales was 24.6% in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to 23.1% in the first
quarter of 1996. This increase as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to
decreased sales volume.
Interest expense decreased $92,000 to $217,000 in 1997 from $309,000 in
1996, a reduction of 29.8% due to lower borrowing levels.
The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 1997 was 52.8%
as compared to 48.0% in 1996. Both of these rates are higher than normal due to
non-deductible foreign losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $10,597,000
in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to $13,422,000 in the first quarter of
1996. Most of the cash provided by operating activities was from collection of
the year end accounts receivable during the first quarter. The net accounts
receivable balance at the end of the year was $27,297,000 and at the end of the
first quarter the net accounts receivable balance was $12,067,000. The Company's
net cash used for investing activities was $185,000 in the first quarter of 1997
as compared to $209,000 in the first quarter of 1996. This decrease of $24,000
was in the purchase of property and equipment. The Company's net cash used by
financing activities was $11,482,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to
$14,199,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Most of the cash used by financing
activities was for the pay down of short term and long term bank debt. At the
end of the year, the bank debt was $19,175,000 and at the end of the first
quarter the bank debt bank was $7,650,000.
The Company's working capital requirements are currently funded by cash
flow from operations, a domestic line of credit in the amount of $18,000,000,
and a letter of credit facility in the amount of $4,000,000. The outstanding
loans under the domestic line of credit bear interest at either of the following
rates, as selected by the Company from time to time; the bank's prime lending
rate or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus 1.00%. The Company's domestic
line of credit agreement expires on May 31, 1997 and will be renewed during the
