NASH FINCH COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 26, 1994
NOTE 1
The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company and its subsidiaries at March 26, 1994 and January 1,
1994, and the results of operations for the 12-week period ending March 26, 1994
and March 27, 1993 the changes in cash flows for 12-week periods ending March
26, 1994 and March 27, 1993, respectively. All material intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2
The Company uses the LIFO method for valuation of a substantial portion of
inventories. If the FIFO method had been used, inventories would have been $42.0
million and $42.5 million higher at March 26, 1994 and at January 1, 1994,
respectively.
NOTE 3
Earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented.
Options granted under the Company's qualified stock plan are considered common
stock equivalents for the purpose of earnings per share data, but have been
excluded from the computation since the dilutive effect is not material.
Note 4
Effective January 31, 1994, the Company acquired the assets of Food Folks,
Inc., a former customer with 23 stores located in the Carolina's. Under the
terms of the agreement, assets with a fair market value of approximately $12.4
million were to be transferred to the Company in exchange for a maximum $1.8
million in cash, of which $1.3 million was paid at closing, the assumption of
liabilities of $3.2 million and the forgiveness of $7.4 million in debt, net of
a bad debt reserve established by the Company. This transaction was accounted
for as a troubled debt restructuring during the quarter and will be subject to
final purchase price adjustments in the second quarter of 1994.
<PAGE>
NOTE 5
On April 2, 1992, the Company sold customer notes totalling $22.8 million.
The notes having maturities through the year 2000, were sold at face value with
limited recourse as to certain notes. The Company is responsible for collection
of the notes and remits the principal plus a floating rate of interest to the
purchaser on a monthly basis. Proceeds from the sale of the notes receivable
were used to pay off short-term bank debt.
Remaining balances on the notes receivable sold totaled $3.6 million at
March 26, 1994.
The Company is contingently liable should these notes become uncollectible.
During the quarter, $7.0 million in notes were repurchased as a part of a
troubled debt restructuring of Food Folks Inc., a former customer. These notes
were charged against a reserve for contingent losses on sold notes which totaled
$7.1 million at January 1, 1994.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 increased 2.8% over the
comparable period last year. The increase is principally due to growth in
retail sales resulting from the acquisition of the Easter's store chain which
occurred in June 1993 and the 23-store Food Folks chain acquired from a former
customer at the end of January 1994. Revenues otherwise were flat due to
continued deflation in food prices and severe weather conditions in certain
areas of the Midwest and East Coast which occurred in January and February.
Gross margins were 14.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 compared to
14.1% for the same twelve week period last year. The increase resulted from a
greater proportion of retail sales which typically achieve higher gross margins.
Also, a change in sales mix to higher margin specialty departments contributed
to an overall improvement in retail margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues
were 12.4% compared to 12.0% last year. Again, the principal reason for the
increase was the greater proportion of retail business which operates at higher
expense levels as a percent of sales.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the first quarter were up 10.0%
due to increases in net capital expenditures and intangible assets since last
year.
Interest expense increased 15.3% compared to the same period last year as a
result of higher average short-term borrowings during the quarter and slightly
higher borrowing rates.
Income tax expense increased due to higher pretax earnings and a higher
effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the first quarter was 40.5%
compared to 39.0% for the same quarter last year. The rate increase reflects
new federal tax legislation enacted during the third quarter of 1993.
Net earnings in the first quarter were $2.6 million, an increase of 4.8%
over the comparable period last year. The earnings increase is attributed to
improved performance at the retail level during the quarter.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Primary sources of capital available to the Company are from internally
generated funds and bank lines of credit. Net cash provided from operating
activities during the first quarter was
<PAGE>
$6.5 million, compared to $15.4 million in 1993. The decrease is primarily
attributed to an increase in cash outlays for inventories of $1.9 million this
year, compared to a reduction of $9.8 million for the same period last year The
prior year quarter reflected the sell-off of large cigarette inventories on hand
at the end of fiscal 1992.
Capital expenditures in the first quarter were $6.5 million, exclusive of
acquisitions. Of the anticipated capital expenditures for 1994 of $40.9
million, $10.5 million are planned for improvements to distribution center
facilities, $21.1 million for retail facilities and the balance for other
corporate purposes.
In the first quarter of 1994, the Company acquired the assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Food Folks, Inc., a retail supermarket chain located
primarily in southeast North Carolina. Notes representing loans to Food Folks
previously sold in April 1992 were repurchased for $7.0 million cash at the time
of the acquisition.
The Company's long-term debt rating of A- from Standard & Poors, short-term
bank credit facilities, internal cash flow and the availability of favorable
lease financing will provide the Company with flexibility to meet its future
financial needs.
