Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 reached $49,564,000 as
compared to $49,717,000 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net
sales for the first half of fiscal 1994 were $96,562,000, a decrease of 1%
from those in the same period of fiscal 1993. Economic conditions in
Registrant's marketing area remain stagnant, with some improvement
noted outside of California.
Gross profit in the second quarter decreased 4% to $27,621,000 as compared
to $28,759,000 in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year and gross
profit for the first half of fiscal 1994 decreased 8% to $53,632,000
from $58,126,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. This is
primarily the result of higher green coffee costs in the current fiscal
year. The continued efforts of the Association of Coffee Producing
Countries (ACPC) to establish a voluntary retention program have
helped sustain higher prices of green coffee. Registrant is unable to
forecast future costs of green coffee, and cautions against using past
results to predict future earnings.
Operating expenses have increased 3% to $42,498,000 in the first six months
of 1994 from $41,398,000 in the same period of fiscal 1993. Increased costs
of coffee brewing equipment, medical expenses, payroll and workers' compen-
sation expenses more than offset decreases in insurance and legal costs.
Second quarter net income decreased 31% to $4,196,000 or $2.18 per share,
from $5,887,000 or $3.06 per share, in the same period of the prior fiscal
year. Income before cumulative effect of accounting changes for the first
six months of fiscal 1994 decreased 31% to $8,561,000 or $4.44 per share,
as compared to $12,417,000 or $6.45 per share, in the same quarter of fiscal
1993. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 106 and 109 resulted in a cost,
net of tax, of $2.75 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 1993. Net
income for the first six months of fiscal 1994 increased 20% to $8,561,000
or $4.44 per share, as compared to $7,123,000 or $3.70 per share, in the
same period of the prior fiscal year.
