NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the nine
months ended March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999.
Note B - Debt
On October 20, 1998, Comerica Bank approved a one year extension of the
Company's $25,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Under the
agreement the Company has the option to convert borrowings thereunder
(classified as long-term debt) to a term note through October 31, 2001, the
expiration date of the agreement. Payments under the term note, if the
conversion option is exercised, would be made quarterly and could extend to
October 31, 2003. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term
Loan Agreement were $1,525,000 at March 31, 1999, and $250,000 at June 30,
1998.
Note C - Dividends
Cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the
respective dates of declaration.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the Company's third quarter ended March
31, 1999, increased $2,791,000, or 9.8%, compared with net sales for the
third quarter of the prior year. Net sales for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1999, increased $7,674,000, or 9.8%, compared with the nine month
period of the prior year. The increase is attributable mainly to new products
on new vehicles and increased sales to large automotive suppliers and to the
refrigeration industry.
Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, increased
$178,000, or 3.9%, as compared with gross profit for the third quarter of the
prior year. Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999,
increased $1,183,000, or 10.6%, as compared with the nine month period of the
prior year. The increase is attributable mainly to additional volume and
improved product mix.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $52,000, or 2.9%, for the third
quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared with the third quarter of the prior
year. Selling and administrative expenses increased $452,000, or 9.4%, as
compared with the nine month period ended March 31, 1998. The increase is
mainly attributable to increases in compensation and related expenses.
The Registrant's Shareholders are aware of the Registrant's dependence upon
sales to the two largest U.S. automobile manufacturers, a condition that has
existed for at least fifty years. Although the Registrant has purchase orders
from such customers, such purchase orders generally provide for supplying the
customer's
- 6 -
<PAGE>
requirements for a particular model or model year rather than for
manufacturing a specific quantity of products. The loss of any one of such
customers or significant purchase orders could have a material adverse effect
on the Registrant. These customers are also able to exert considerable
pressure on component suppliers to reduce costs, improve quality and provide
additional design and engineering capabilities. There can be no assurance
that the additional costs of increased quality standards, price reductions or
additional capabilities required by such customers will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Registrant.
On April 30, 1999, the Company concluded a new three year agreement with the
United Auto Workers covering the employees of the Chelsea Division.
YEAR 2000 MATTERS: The Company completed a comprehensive review of its
operations related to the "Year 2000" issue during fiscal 1998. This review
included an assessment of the Company's mainframe computer system, operating
and application systems, microcomputer and office systems, facilities, and
production equipment. This review also included correspondence with major
vendors and customers. Management believes it has identified those systems
that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The Company has implemented
a plan to resolve these issues and expects completion in June, 1999.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Company installed a new
mainframe computer system and operating system that are "Year 2000"
compliant. Implementation and testing of mainframe applications is ongoing
and is expected to be completed by June 1, 1999. The Company believes that,
with modification of its existing computer systems and updates by vendors in
the ordinary course of business, the "Year 2000" issue will not pose
significant operational problems of the Company's computer systems. However,
if such modifications are not made, or are not completed timely, the "Year
2000" issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
The Company has developed contingency plans for its significant operations
and is continuously monitoring the progress toward the established "Year
2000" plan. These plans include preliminary discussions with the Company's
primary software vendors to replace critical applications that may become
inoperable as a result of the "Year 2000" issue. The Company may increase
inventory levels to insure that supplies are not interrupted.
The total "Year 2000" project cost is estimated at approximately $400,000,
which includes estimated costs to be incurred to acquire upgraded software
that will be capitalized. It is anticipated that these costs will be paid for
with cash from operations.
DIVIDENDS: The Board of Directors, in February 1999, declared a $.10 per
share quarterly dividend, paid April 1, 1999, to shareholders of record March
5, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Working capital increased by $2,747,000 from
$11,980,000 at June 30, 1998, to $14,727,000 at March 31, 1999.
At March 31, 1999, the Company had available $23,475,000 under its bank
credit agreement.
Capital expenditures for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999, were
approximately $5.5 million, and, for the year, are expected to approximate
$8.3 million, of which approximately $2.8 million has been committed as of
March 31, 1999.
