NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
and related notes are unaudited; however, in management's
opinion all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position at May 29, 1994 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods shown have been
made. Such statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all disclosures
normally required by generally accepted accounting principles
or those normally made in the Form 10-K.
2. The earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issuable
under outstanding stock option, stock grant and long-term
incentive compensation plans are common stock equivalents, but
are not used in computing earnings per share because the
dilutive effect would be less than 3%.
3. Effective November 29, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes." The adoption of SFAS No. 109 changes the
Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the
deferred method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
11 to an asset and liability approach. The effect of adopting
SFAS No. 109 has been recognized immediately as the effect of
a change in accounting principle and increased net income in
the first quarter and for the first half of fiscal 1994 by
$795, or $.05 per share. Prior financial statements have not
been restated. The increase in net income results primarily from
adjusting deferred tax balances to current tax rates.
The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at
November 29, 1993 consist of:
Assets Liabilities
------ -----------
Inventories $2,007 --
Accrued expenses 1,498 --
Allowance for doubtful accounts 958 --
Net operating loss carryforwards-foreign 804 --
Pensions 385 --
Net operating loss carryforwards-
state and local 278 --
Depreciation and amortization -- $5,283
------ ------
Subtotal $5,930 $5,283
Valuation allowance (1,082) --
------ ------
Total $4,848 $5,283
====== ======
4. On April 13, 1994, shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares
of common stock from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares.
5. On June 15, 1994, the Company refinanced at the same rate of interest(1)
$1.6 million in industrial development revenue bonds that were due on that
date, which resulted in the reclassification of this debt from current to
long-term at May 29, 1994. The new maturity date is June 15, 1999.
----------------
(1) Interest is equal to 65% of the lending bank's average daily prime rate
(4.7% at May 29, 1994).

Item 2. Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
- - -------------------
In the second quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company's strong
financial condition was maintained. Working capital showed
improvement, increasing to $55.3 million at May 29, 1994 from $47.1
million at November 28, 1993, while the percentage of debt to
equity decreased to 4.2% from 5.3% at those respective dates. Net
cash flows of $2.1 million provided by operating activities in the
first half of fiscal 1994, combined with available cash balances,
were sufficient to fund additions to property, plant and equipment
of $4.2 million, pay cash dividends of $2.9 million and pay down
$1 million in debt.
Current assets increased $4.6 million to $85.5 million at the end
of the second quarter of fiscal 1994 from $80.8 million at the end
of fiscal 1993 primarily as a result of increases in inventories.
The increase in inventories was principally attributable to the
purchase of inventories relating to an exclusive distribution
agreement with Schwan-STABILO(R) and the replenishment of certain key
inventory items in anticipation of higher sales and to improve
customer service levels in the second half of fiscal 1994. New
products also accounted for a portion of the increase. Cash and
cash equivalents decreased to $4.1 million at May 29, 1994 from
$10.8 million at November 28, 1993 primarily as a result of the
increases in inventories but also due to the payment of dividends,
additions to property, plant and equipment and the scheduled
payments on debt.
Current liabilities decreased to $30.2 million at the end of the
second quarter of fiscal 1994 from $33.7 million at the end of
fiscal 1993, primarily as a result of decreases in the current
portion of long-term debt and decreases in accrued salaries, wages
and commissions. On June 15, 1994, the Company refinanced
$1.6 million in industrial development revenue bonds that were due
on that date which resulted in the reclassification of this debt from
current to long-term at May 29, 1994. The decrease of $1.4 million in
accrued salaries, wages and commissions was largely the result of
payments of incentive compensation in the first half of fiscal 1994
which had been accrued at the end of fiscal 1993.
There were no borrowings under the Company's line-of-credit
agreements at May 29, 1994. These line-of-credit agreements are
with three banks and total $45 million. Management continues to
expect that cash generated from operations along with available
cash balances (combined with credit agreements) will be sufficient
to meet the Company's currently anticipated working capital and
other investing and financing needs. If additional resources are
needed, management believes that the Company could obtain funds at
competitive costs. Management also expects that total 1994
expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment to
increase capacity and productivity will approximate the $10.3
million expended for such purposes in fiscal 1993.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 8
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
Net Sales
- - ---------
Net sales of $69.0 million for the second quarter and $133.6 million for
the first half of fiscal 1994 grew by over 13% from $60.8 million and $117.9
million, respectively, in the same fiscal 1993 periods. These increases were
due to higher unit volume, as average selling prices remained essentially
unchanged. The absence of price increases is a result of competitive
pressures which management believes will continue through fiscal 1994.
Office products sales increased 15.9% to $38.7 million in the second quarter
and 16.2% to $76.1 million in the first half of fiscal 1994 compared to net
sales in the same fiscal 1993 periods. All of the Company's major office
product lines showed increased net sales in fiscal 1994, with office furniture
making the largest contribution increasing 23.9% and 21.2% in the second
quarter and first half of fiscal 1994, respectively. Also, desktop accessories
and supplies were up 12.9% and 12.3%, and mechanical and electromechanical
products were up 12.4% and 14.8% in the second quarter and first half of fiscal
1994, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 1993. The sales
growth in office furniture was due primarily to broadened distribution for the
Company's Bevis(R) brand products. The increase in sales of mechanical and
electromechanical products resulted from higher sales of Boston(R) brand
products. Sales of writing, marking and other products under the Company's
new distribution agreement with Schwan-STABILO(R) accounted for most of the
sales growth in desktop accessories and supplies. Export sales of office
products grew by approximately 9% in the second quarter and first half of
fiscal 1994 compared to the same periods of fiscal 1993 due primarily to
higher sales in the Far East, Europe and Latin America.
Sales of art/craft products increased 10.5% to $30.3 million in the second
quarter and 9.6% to $57.5 million in the first half of fiscal 1994 from
the same periods in 1993. Higher sales of presentation graphics products(2)
made the most significant contribution (up 21.3% in the second quarter
and 20.3% in the first half of fiscal 1994) but were partially offset by
lower sales of art supplies (down 11.2% in the second quarter and
8.1% in the first half of fiscal 1994). Sales of hobby/craft
products were essentially flat for the second quarter but were down
slightly (by 3.5%) for the first half of fiscal 1994 when compared
to the second quarter and first half of fiscal 1993, respectively.
The sales increase in presentation graphics products for both the
second quarter and first half of fiscal 1994 resulted from higher
sales of Seal(R) brand mounting and laminating equipment, including
sales of products of Image Technologies, Inc. (acquired in the
third quarter of fiscal 1993), and Bienfang(R) brand foam board. The
decrease in sales of art
- - ----------------
(2) Mounting and laminating products were renamed "presentation graphics"
in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 to better describe an expanded
product offering in this major product class.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 9
Results of Operations, continued
- - --------------------------------
supplies was largely the result of lower sales of X-Acto(R) brand
products, a trend which management believes is likely to continue.
Export sales of art/craft products decreased by 9.3% in the second
quarter and decreased by 3.6% for the first half of fiscal 1994.
After adjusting for the exchange effect of a weaker Canadian
dollar, export sales of art/craft products decreased by 4% in the
second quarter and were essentially flat for the first half when
compared to the same periods of fiscal 1993. The decrease for the
second quarter was due to lower export sales to Canada, the Far
East, Europe and Latin America. Foreign sales of art/craft
products were up 29.3% in the second quarter and 19.2% for the
first half of fiscal 1994 due primarily to higher sales of
presentation graphics products in the United Kingdom.
Gross Profit
- - ------------
The Company's gross profit margin decreased to 40.4% of net sales
in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 from 40.6% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1993 and decreased to 39.7% in the first half of
fiscal year 1994 from 40.0% in the first half of fiscal year 1993.
These decreases were primarily the net result of higher costs and
changes in product sales mix combined with flat selling prices
partially offset by higher unit sales volume.
A country-wide shortage of wood supply has resulted in increased
raw material costs and could inhibit the Company's ability to meet
demand for certain of its furniture products in the future.
Selling, Shipping, Administrative and General Expenses
- - ------------------------------------------------------
Selling and shipping expenses remained at 21.1% of net sales for
the second quarter of fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993, but improved to
20.9% of net sales for the first half of fiscal 1994 from 21.4% in
the first half of fiscal 1993. The improvement in the first half
was due primarily to lower sales force commissions expense as a
result of changes in customer sales mix.
Administrative and general expenses increased 11.8%, or $.7
million, in the second quarter and 13.6%, or $1.6 million, in the
first half of fiscal 1994 as compared to the prior year expense
levels for the same periods. These increases were largely a result
of higher management incentive compensation attributable to the
improvement in profitability.
Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------
The effective tax rate decreased to 35.7% for the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 from the 37.0% incurred in the second quarter of fiscal
1993. This quarterly decrease resulted from changes in the Company's
effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 1994 which decreased
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 10
Provision for Income Taxes, continued
- - -------------------------------------
to 36.5% from 37% for the first half of fiscal 1993. This decrease
was principally a result of two factors: a decrease in state and local
effective tax rates and profitability improvements by the European
operations, which utilize net operating loss carryforwards.
Accounting Change
- - -----------------
In the first quarter of fiscal 1994 the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the
cumulative effect of which increased net income by $.8 million, or
$.05 per share for the six months ended May 29, 1994.
