Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 1 of 2)
July 31, 1998
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 22% from the same
period last year, reflecting higher revenues from both real estate operations
and magazine circulation operations.
Revenues from real estate operations increased 32% during the three months ended
July 31, 1998 compared to the prior year, resulting from increases in both
housing and land sales. Revenues from housing sales increased 10% principally
due to revenues from deliveries contributed by the Company's northern California
operations, which were acquired in September 1997. Total unit deliveries
remained at 163 in both periods while the average selling price of homes closed
increased 10% from $115,800 to $127,900, reflecting the additional deliveries
from California, where average selling prices are higher than those in New
Mexico and Colorado. In addition, the average gross profit percentage on housing
sales declined slightly from 14% to 13% which was primarily the result of a
lower gross profit percentage from the northern California operations than those
from the New Mexico and Colorado operations.
Revenues and related gross profit from land sales increased by approximately
$5.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
as compared to the similar period last year, primarily due to an increase in the
level of commercial and industrial lot sales in New Mexico as well as a large
land sale at the Company's northern California operation. The gross profit
percentage on land sales was 47% in fiscal year 1999 and 46% in fiscal year
1998. Land sale revenues and related gross profits can vary from year to year as
a result of the nature and timing of specific transactions, and are not an
indication of amounts that may be expected to occur in future periods. As a
result of these factors, gross profit from real estate operations increased by
approximately $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to
the similar period last year, predominately from the increased land sales.
Revenues from magazine circulation operations increased by approximately 10% in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999, principally due to increases in Newsstand
Distribution Services. Revenues from Distribution Services increased
approximately 29% due to an increase in the volume of magazine sales and new
business. Revenues in Fulfillment Services remained comparable from year to
year. The major realignment and consolidation of relationships in the
distribution chain for magazines which developed during 1996 continues to affect
the industry, and the Company continues to address the situation. Magazine
circulation operating expenses have decreased from approximately 81% of related
revenues in the first quarter last year to approximately 77% of related revenues
in the current year, reflecting the favorable impact of cost reduction and
efficiency initiatives. As a result of these factors, operating income from
magazine circulation operations increased by approximately $900,000 in the first
quarter this year as compared to the similar period last year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 2 of 2)
July 31, 1998
Interest and other operations revenue decreased by approximately $162,000 in the
first quarter this year as compared to the similar period last year primarily
due to the absence of revenues from the Rio Rancho Golf and Country Club which
was sold during the third quarter of fiscal 1998, partially offset by management
fees and equity income in partnerships from the northern California operations
which were acquired in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998. The decrease in
other operations expenses of $849,000 is primarily due to the sale discussed
above.
Real estate commissions and selling expenses remained approximately the same in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to the similar period last year.
Selling cost related to housing sales increased in proportion to the increase in
revenues, and was offset by reductions in fixed costs related to commercial and
industrial land sales. Real estate and corporate general and administrative
expenses increased 11%, principally as a result of the Company's expansion into
northern California commencing in September 1997. General and administrative
costs of the magazine circulation operations increased by approximately 7%,
moderately lower than the revenue increase.
Interest expense decreased by approximately 2% in the first quarter of fiscal
1999, primarily due to an increase in the amount of capitalized real estate
interest related to the higher inventory levels in northern California and
Colorado, partially offset by higher average borrowings related to increased
levels of receivables and inventories.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Receivables from magazine circulation operations increased from $57.4 million at
April 30, 1998 to $61.3 million at July 31, 1998, resulting from the revenue
increase in magazine circulation operations and the timing of monthly billings
as well as from delays in payments experienced by Kable from wholesalers, which
Kable believes is partially a result of the industry consolidation issue as
referenced to above. In addition, real estate inventory and notes payable
increased by approximately $6.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively, at July
31, 1998, compared to April 30, 1998, primarily due to land acquisitions,
increases in construction inventory and related financing at the northern
California operations. Also, accounts payable, deposits and accrued expenses
decreased by approximately $1.9 million at July 31, 1998, compared to April 30,
1998. As a result, cash decreased by $5.3 million.
YEAR 2000
- ---------
The Company utilizes a number of software systems in conjunction with its real
estate and magazine circulation operations. The Company has and will continue to
make certain investments in its software systems and applications to ensure the
Company is Year 2000 compliant. The Company is also in the process of
ascertaining the impact of Year 2000 compliance in its relationship with vendors
and suppliers. The financial impact of becoming Year 2000 compliant has not been
and is not expected to be material to the Company's financial position or
results of operations in a given year.
