NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

 

1 -- CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows at June 30, 1999 (which include only normal recurring adjustments), have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's March 31, 1999, annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

3 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through stock options and warrants. The shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share are reconciled as follows:

Unexercised stock options to purchase 648,968 and 691,597 shares of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were not included in the computations of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater then the average market price of the Company's common stock during the respective periods. These options, issued at various dates from 1994 to 1999, are still outstanding at the end of the period.

  <PAGE 7>

Item 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continued to generate positive operating cash flows during the first three months of fiscal 2000, allowing it to fund various strategic opportunities. During the quarter, the Company spent approximately $1,288,000 in repurchasing its own common stock, $1,055,000 in various capital projects including the continued construction of the CPAC Asian manufacturing facility and the Fuller Brands North American distribution center, and $411,000 for payment of dividends on its common stock. It is expected that capital expenditures for the CPAC Asia facility will approximate $300,000 - $400,000 during the next quarter, which will substantially complete the project. The Company also expects additional capital expenditures for the Imaging and Fuller Brands segments to be reduced from their present levels over the last 9 months of fiscal 2000.

The Company maintains a line of credit facility with BankAmerica Corp. (formerly NationsBank), with a borrowing capacity of $20,000,000. At June 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $181,000 outstanding on the line. The interest rate is the lower of prime or the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .75%. The line of credit facility matures on October 31, 2000 and requires meeting certain financial covenants, with which the Company was in compliance at June 30, 1999, or appropriate waivers were obtained.

CPAC Asia LTD. has a line of credit with an international bank amounting to 15,760,000 baht (approximately $420,000 based on the first quarter ended conversion rate in Thailand), with interest at prime plus 1% (Thailand prime was 9.25%) and collateralized by a standby letter of credit (LOC) guaranteed by CPAC, Inc. CPAC Asia LTD. had no outstanding borrowings against the line at the end of its first quarter. The Company is currently involved in discussions with an international bank to replace existing short term borrowings used to finance the purchase of the property, construction of the facility, and fund certain start up expenses with longer term financing. It is expected that this financing will be completed by September 30, 1999.

The working capital ratios at June 30, 1999, March 31, 1999, and June 30,1998 were 3.60 to 1; 3.65 to 1; and 3.71 to 1. Net working capital decreased over this quarter and the previous year's comparable quarter, due to the use of operating cash to fund programs and activities described above.

Management believes that its existing available lines of credit and cash flows from operations should be adequate to meet normal working capital needs, based on operations as of June 30, 1999. It is expected that additional financing may be necessary to allow the Company to pursue future acquisitions.

Asset Turnover Ratios

 

June 30, 1999

March 31, 1999

June 30, 1998

   (1) Receivables-days outstanding

57.3 days

55.0 days

54.1 days

   (2) Annual inventory turns

2.9 times

3.1 times

3.0 times

The increase in receivable days outstanding as compared to the previous periods reflects a slight increase in Fuller Brand's days outstanding, as well as a lengthening in the Imaging segment's foreign operation's days outstanding. The blended days' sales outstanding is not expected to waiver far from this level for the remainder of the year.

Inventory turns for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to March 31, 1999 and the quarter ended June 30, 1999 are slightly less due to a buildup in inventory levels to meet expected sales demand, which did not happen during the quarter. The Company is continuing to evaluate inventory levels based on forecasted sales and believes it can reduce inventory amounts over the next six to nine months without negatively impacting the Fuller Brands or Imaging manufacturing operations or sacrificing customer service.

  <PAGE 8>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For purposes of financial reporting, the Company operates in two industry segments: the Fuller Brands segment, which includes the manufacture and sale of specialty chemical cleaning products and related accessories (brushes, brooms, mops) for commercial, janitorial, and consumer use, as well as personal care products such as soaps, shampoos, and skin care items, and the Imaging segment which includes the manufacture and sale of prepackaged chemical formulations, supplies, and equipment systems to the imaging industry. The products of each segment are manufactured and marketed both in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. Sales between segments are not material.

Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 decreased 2% over the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Sales for the quarter in the Fuller Brands segment decreased 5.8% compared with the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was caused by a decrease in Cleaning Technologies Group wholesale distribution sales, as well as lower contract consumer sales for Fuller Brush. For the Imaging segment, overall sales increased 4.8%, due to increases in domestic photochemical and medical imaging sales.

Gross margins were 43% for this quarter versus 43% for the year ended March 31, 1999 and 44% for the same quarter last year. Gross margins in the Fuller Brands segment were 47.3%, 46.8%, and 47% for the quarter ended June  30, 1999, the year ended March 31, 1999, and the quarter ended June 30, 1998, respectively. Consistency in margins over these periods is a function of product mix sold (higher margins for Fuller and Stanley products, versus lower margins for CTG products). Gross margins in the Imaging segment were 36.3%, as compared to 37.4% for the year ended March 31, 1999 and 38.9% for the same quarter last year. Although sales increased in the Imaging segment, continued pressures in the color and black and white imaging markets continue to decrease gross margins. The Company continues to pursue manufacturing efficiencies in the Great Bend Fuller Brands' operation. While the Company believes these efficiencies will begin to be earned in the late second or early third quarter periods, it may not be reflected in the blended margin for Fuller Brands, if CTG sales increase. This "masking" of margin improvement is due to CTG margins being closer to 33%, as opposed to the consumer side of Fuller's business where margins are higher.

Selling, administrative, and engineering costs this quarter were 34.3%, versus 33.4% for the year ended March 31, 1999, versus 34.8% for the same quarter last year. In the Fuller Brands segment, selling, administrative, and engineering costs for this quarter increased to 38.4% from 36.7% for the year ended March 31, 1999, and 37.7% for the same quarter last year. The increase is partially attributable to freight increases, as well as continued higher selling expenses in the CTG market, in an effort to increase sales in the commercial cleaning and janitorial market. In the Imaging segment, selling, administrative, and engineering costs were 27.4% versus 29% for the year ended March 31, 1999, versus 30.9% for the same quarter last year. The decrease is attributable to cost reduction efforts including personnel reductions in several of the imaging operations.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 versus the comparable quarter last year is higher due to a reduction in cash on hand and increased borrowings used to support the Company's property, plant, and equipment expenditures at CPAC Asia and Fuller Brands, as well as fund the stock buy-back program.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income for the quarter was 40.8% versus 41.2% for the year ended March 31, 1999, and versus 40.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The slight decrease from March 31 is due to lower foreign income with resulting lower taxes. It is expected that the effective rate will remain in the 40% to 41% range for the remainder of the year.

 <PAGE 9>

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 decreased 9.8% over the comparable quarter largely due to the shortfall in profits in the Fuller Brands segment, as a result of lagging sales in the Cleaning Technologies Group's business.

Foreign Operations

Combined foreign sales for CPAC Europe, CPAC Italia, and CPAC Africa were up approximately 9% for the year, primarily due to Africa (CPAC Africa was acquired during fiscal 1999 and began consolidating their results during the second quarter of fiscal 1999). CPAC Asia was not operational during the first quarter of fiscal 2000. Pretax profits, excluding CPAC Asia, declined 45% due partly to lower margin business replacing higher margin business due to the competitive market conditions in the photochemical markets now invading much of Western and Eastern Europe. In addition, CPAC Asia during the quarter was not operational and incurred various start up expenses, negatively impacting profits. It is expected that CPAC Asia will be operational during the Company's third fiscal quarter, and will provide income from operations. The rest of the Company's European operations are not expected to provide significant increases in revenue and income during the next quarter, due to a slowdown in tourism and picture taking, as a result of the conflict in Kosovo and the weakness of the Euro. Africa is expected to have modest growth for the remainder of the year.

The Company has exposure to currency fluctuations and from time to time has utilized hedging programs (primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts), to help minimize the impact of these fluctuations on results of operations. At June 30, 1999 no forward foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives transactions. On a consolidated basis, foreign currency exchange losses are included in income or expense as incurred and are not material to the results of operations.

Year 2000 Issue

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer software programs that were written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather then the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, generate invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. The Company is continuing work on its program to ensure that all of its significant date-sensitive computer software and hardware systems and other equipment utilized in its various manufacturing, distribution and administration activities will be Year 2000 compliant and operational on a timely basis. The program addresses three distinct areas: Year 2000 readiness with internal hardware and software; internal embedded systems; and the readiness of external business partners, suppliers, vendors, banks, human resources and other service providers. The progress of the program is monitored and reported to management and the Board of Directors.

Internal Hardware and Software

At the present time, approximately 95% of the Company's primary operating systems and related software have been reviewed and in most cases, have now been upgraded and certification of compliance from the respective manufacturers or software companies has been reviewed. The largest system still in process is a production/MRP system in the Fuller Brands segment. The internal software programming of this system to ensure Year 2000 compliance is in process and working toward completion in October 1999.

The Company is 95% complete in compiling a final listing of computer hardware for all locations, showing the individual items remaining to be updated and an estimate of the time needed to complete the process. Due to acquisition related growth over the last several years, the

 <PAGE 10>

Company has been routinely upgrading its computer hardware, most of which is already Year 2000 compliant. The Imaging segment is comprised of smaller stand alone operations run as decentralized units, that have not utilized large mainframe environments but rather pre-packaged software under annual license arrangements that include all upgrades. At the domestic locations, this software has already been converted to a compliant status by the manufacturers. At the foreign operations, the upgrade of software has now been completed and is in the process of final testing. The focus over the last four years for the remainder of our Imaging segment software systems has been a process of routine upgrade toward networks, primarily in a Windows environment. In the Fuller Brands segment, systems were larger in size and developed over time with customized software applications, which have been upgraded as the business continues to grow. The Company relies on a number of third party entities for core business and information packages and these third parties are working to correct all of the core programs, while the Company works to update the customized portions.

Internal Embedded Systems

The Company also has a plan to address and track Year 2000 compliance with its infrastructure such as heating and cooling facilities, telephones and switchboards, security and fire systems, etc., which is approximately 85% complete. Based on the project status to date, the Company does not expect to incur material additional costs to ensure that its internal embedded systems are Year 2000 compliant.

Estimated Cost

The Company estimates that the total cost of ensuring Year 2000 compliance for internal hardware and software and embedded systems, including redeployed internal resources, will be approximately $500,000. Of this amount, approximately $400,000 was expended over the three years ended March 31, 1999 with approximately 60% capitalized. The Company estimates that no more than $100,000 will be expended during the current fiscal year with approximately 25% capitalized. Such amounts have been and are expected to be funded through operating cash flows.

External Sources

The Company is performing a due-diligence process to determine the ability of our significant service providers, customers, and vendors to be Year 2000 compliant. Included in this process is an initial inventory of these external sources, and a letter/confirmation campaign to understand the status of their own Y2K readiness, in order to assess any potential impact to our own systems and business operations. To date, the Company has not become aware of any specific problems from these sources that would materially impact the Company's operations. However, the Company has no means of ensuring that these suppliers and customers (and in turn their suppliers and customers) will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of these parties to complete the Year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, Year 2000 disruption in the general economic or governmental framework in the markets in which the Company operates, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Therefore, the Company's program includes the development of contingency plans for continuing operations in the event such problems arise. This stage of the Year 2000 program should be completed during the summer of 1999 and will include, but not be limited to, development of backup procedures, identification of alternate product or service providers, and possible increases in safety levels of inventory. However, there can be no assurance that such contingency plans will be sufficient to handle all problems that may arise.

The Company's plan to complete its Year 2000 modifications is based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, availability of certain resources, and other factors. Management does not believe that the cost of achieving Year 2000 compliance will significantly impact the results of the Company's operations or its financial position. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from these plans. Specific factors that might cause material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer code, the ability of significant suppliers, customers, and service providers to properly resolve their own Year 2000 issues, and other similar uncertainties. If factors occur that change these estimates or assumptions, the Year

 <PAGE 11>

2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Euro Conversion

On January 1, 1999, the Euro became the common currency of eleven of the fifteen member states of the European Union. After the introduction of the Euro, the national currencies will remain legal tender in the participating countries until mid-calendar-year 2002. During the dual currency phase, businesses must be capable of conducting commercial transactions in either the Euro or the national currency. After the dual currency phase, all businesses in participating countries must conduct all transactions in the Euro and must convert their financial records and reports to be Euro-based. The Company expects that all its facilities will be capable of complying with the Euro conversion timetable and with customer requirements for quoting and billing in Euro dollars. The Company's information technology systems are currently meeting the dual currency phase requirements, and it is anticipated that the final phase of the Euro conversion will not have a negative effect on the Company.

Forward-Looking Information

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including statements covering the Year 2000 issue, that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which the Company operates, as well as management's beliefs and assumptions. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Future Factors") which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except for the Year 2000 issue, which will be updated in accordance with the SEC rules and regulations.

The Future Factors that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company's business include the following:

a.

general economic and competitive conditions in the markets and countries in which the Company operates, and the risks inherent in international operations;

b.

the timely resolution of the Year 2000 issue by the Company, its customers, suppliers, freight and distribution companies, and governmental authorities, in the markets in which the Company operates;

c.

the Company's ability to continue to control and reduce its costs of production;

d.

the level of demand for the Company's Imaging products and impact of digital imaging;

e.

the level of competition and consolidation within the imaging industry;

f.

the effect of changes in the distribution channels for Fuller Brands;

g.

the level of demand for Fuller Brands' contract manufactured products;

i.

the strength of the U.S. dollar against currencies of other countries where the Company operates, as well as cross-currencies between the Company's operations outside of the U.S. and other countries with whom they transact business.

 <PAGE 12>

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend to update forward-looking statements.
