PART I - ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results Of Operations
- ---------------------
Nine Months Ended September 29, 1996 Compared To Nine Months Ended
October 1, 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were $49.1 million
compared to $45.1 million reported for the comparable period of 1995. The
increase in net sales is largely due to the timing of when customer orders
shipped in each respective period, were received. Management believes the
markets served by the Company's products remain extremely competitive. Far
Eastern markets are particularly competitive and difficult to penetrate.
Management further believes the Company operates, to some extent, in markets
still experiencing the after-effects of recessions in Western Europe and to
ongoing political and economic instability in Eastern Europe and the Middle
East. While management is encouraged by the continuing improvement in the
level of order intake and backlog, it does not anticipate major improvements
in its primary markets in the next six months.
The Company's ability to increase net sales in a financial reporting
period depends upon the level of orders received and the timing of receipt of
such orders for the Company's products. The Company received $80.5 million in
orders during the first nine months of 1996, including several individually
significant orders, compared to $58.5 million during the same period of 1995.
The increase is attributed to more aggressive marketing efforts and more
competitive pricing. The marketing efforts include the reorganization of the
Company's domestic sales force earlier in the year along the lines of the
major industries served by the Company's products, rubber and plastic. This
has enabled the sales force to focus on customer needs more closely.
In the case of major equipment orders, up to 12 months are required to
complete the manufacturing process. Accordingly, revenues reported in the
statement of operations may represent orders received in the current, or
previous fiscal quarters during which market conditions were flat. Thus, the
cyclical nature of industry demand and, therefore, order intake, can effect
the Company's quarterly results of operations. Backlog considered firm by
management at September 29, 1996 was $61.1 million compared to $29.7 million
at December 31, 1995 and $52.5 million at the end of the third quarter of
1995. There can be no assurance that the recent higher backlog levels are
representative of a sustained economic recovery in the Company's primary
markets.
Gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 was $ 11.3 million
compared to $11.4 million reported for the comparable period of 1995 while the
margin percentage declined to 23.0% from 25.2%. The percentage decline is
largely attributed to the mix of products sold in the two periods and to
continued stiff competition. The extremely competitive conditions and the
after-effects of long recessionary periods previously discussed continue to
exert significant pressure on the level of margin percentage achieved, a trend
which is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. To compensate,
management has taken measures to aggressively control costs in recent years
including the consolidation of component manufacturing into the Company's
plant in the UK earlier this year. The Company has also reduced its worldwide
workforce by roughly one third since becoming a public company in 1992.
Operating expenses incurred in the first nine months of 1996 declined
approximately $.7 million from $13.6 million in the prior year. This decline
is largely due to the elimination of selected
Page 7 of 12
<PAGE>
executive and staff positions worldwide and the consolidation of marketing
offices in Europe. It is also due to lower research and development costs as
the Company has curtailed the operation of its laboratory in the United
Kingdom which is operated as needed by domestic personnel. Management also
continues to strictly control expenses. The Company has capitalized $.3
million and $.8 million of third party costs as of September 29, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively. These costs were incurred to identify,
negotiate and contract with several acquisition candidates, primarily outside
the United States. It is possible that efforts related to individual
acquisitions candidates may prove unsuccessful in the near term, at which
point the capitalized costs would be charged to current operations.
Approximately $.5 million of such previously capitalized costs have been
charged to administration expense during the current year which has partially
offset other savings. This write-off of previously capitalized costs is non-
recurring since no additional costs have been capitalized this year.
The impact of foreign currency on the consolidated net results of
operations for the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period of
1995 was not material. The income tax rate, as a percentage of pre-tax loss
in 1996 and 1995 was 38.4% and 38.2%, respectively. The recorded tax benefit
is included in other current assets at September 29, 1996.
Three Months Ended September 29, 1996 Compared To Three Months Ended
October 1, 1995.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $18.1 million
compared to the $18.0 million reported for the same period of 1995. Orders
received by the Company during the third quarter of 1996 and 1995 were $26.6
million and $15.3 million, respectively.
The reasons for variations in sales, orders and backlog levels comparing
the third quarters of 1996 and 1995 are the same as those previously
discussed.
Gross margin in the third quarter of the current year was $4.1 million
compared to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 1995 while the margin
percentage decreased to 22.9% from 23.8% in the corresponding periods. Again,
the variation in margin dollars and percentage is attributed to those reasons
previously discussed.
Operating expenses incurred during the third quarters of 1996 and 1995
were $4.2 and $4.3 million, respectively. Approximately $.2 million of the
capitalized acquisition costs previously discussed were charged to
administration expense during the current quarter which partially offset other
savings.
The impact of foreign currency on the consolidated net results of
operations for the third quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 was not material.
Due to the relatively small level of pre-tax loss and the effect of
consolidating domestic and foreign results the Company recorded a larger than
normal tax benefit. Management expects its effective tax rate for the year to
approximate the rate is has experienced during the current year to date
period.
Material Contingencies
- ----------------------
In 1995 the Company settled litigation against USM Corporation, Emhart
Corporation and certain of their affiliates regarding responsibility for
environmental conditions at the Ansonia and Derby, CT facilities
("Facilities") at the time of the Company's acquisition of the business from
USM in May 1986. Pursuant to the 1995 settlement agreement with the Company,
The Black and
Page 8 of 12
<PAGE>
Decker Corporation which acquired USM in 1989, has assumed full responsibility
for all investigation and any remediation of pre-1986 contamination at the
Facilities in accordance with a consent decree entered into between Black and
Decker and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. A
preliminary environmental assessment of the Facilities has been completed, but
final reports thereof have not been submitted to or approved by the
Connecticut Department Environmental Protection. There is no reason to believe
that any activities which might be required as a result of the findings of the
assessment will have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings
or the competitive position of the Company.
Liquidity And Capital Resources; Capital Expenditures
- -----------------------------------------------------
Working capital and the working capital ratio at September 29, 1996 was
$18.2 million and 2.2 to 1, respectively, compared to $19.1 million and 1.8 to
1, respectively, at December 31, 1995. The Company paid a dividend of $.06
per share in the first quarter of 1996 from 1995 earnings. The Company's
ability to pay dividends in the future is limited under its credit facility.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, many sales are of a large
dollar amount. Consequently, the timing of recording such sales may cause the
balances in accounts receivable and/or inventory to fluctuate dramatically
between quarters and may result in significant fluctuations in cash provided
by operations. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant
problems regarding the collection of accounts receivable. The Company has
also generally financed its operations with cash balances, cash generated by
operations, progress payments from customers and with borrowings under its
bank credit facilities. The Company made capital expenditures of $1.1 and
$1.6 million during the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively
The Company has a worldwide multi-currency credit facility with a major
U.S. bank in an amount up to $20.0 million for direct borrowings and letters
of credit and up to <pound-sterling>3.0 million for foreign exchange
contracts. The facility contains limitations on direct borrowings and letters
of credit combined based upon stipulated levels of accounts receivable,
inventory and backlog. The facility contains covenants specifying minimum and
maximum thresholds for operating results and selected financial ratios. There
were $ 9.1 million and $8.3 million of letters of credit outstanding at
September 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. The Company has
negotiated an extension of this facility through December 31, 1999 under the
same general conditions.
The Company anticipates that its cash balances, operating cash flows and
available credit lines will be adequate to fund its anticipated capital
commitments and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve
months.
