CASEY'S GENERAL STORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the
accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
2. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these interim
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of October 31, 2000, and the results of operations for the six and three
months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999, and changes in cash flows for the
six months ended October 31, 2000 and 1999.
3. The Company's financial condition and results of operations are affected by
a variety of factors and business influences, certain of which are
described in the Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking
Statements filed as Exhibit 99 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1997. These interim consolidated
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that
Cautionary Statement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
-------------------------------------------------
Condition and Results of Operations.
-----------------------------------
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Dollars in Thousands)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Casey's derives its revenue from the retail sale of food (including freshly
prepared foods such as pizza, donuts and sandwiches), beverages and non-food
products such as health and beauty aids, tobacco products, automotive products
and gasoline by Company stores and from the wholesale sale of certain grocery
and general merchandise items and gasoline to franchised stores. The Company
also generates revenues from continuing monthly royalties based on sales by
franchised stores, sign and facade rental fees and the provision of certain
maintenance, transportation and construction services to the Company's
franchisees. A typical store is generally not profitable for its first year of
operation due to start-up costs and will usually attain representative levels of
sales and profits during its second or third year of operation.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, most sales are for cash, and
cash provided by operations is the Company's primary source of liquidity. The
Company finances its inventory purchases primarily from normal trade credit
aided by the relatively rapid turnover of inventory. This turnover allows the
Company to conduct its operations without large amounts of cash and working
capital. As of October 31, 2000, the Company's ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 1.09 to 1. The ratio at October 31, 1999 and April 30,
2000, was .81 to 1 and .53 to 1, respectively. Management believes that the
Company's current bank lines of credit, together with cash flow from operations,
will be sufficient to satisfy the working capital needs of its business.
Net cash provided by operations decreased $11,332 (19.8%) in the six months
ended October 31, 2000 from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily
as a result of a large increase in inventories due to higher wholesale gasoline
costs and a small decrease in accounts payable. Cash flows from investing in the
six months ended October 31, 2000 increased due to the increased purchase of
investments. Cash flows from financing also increased, primarily due to the
proceeds from long-term debt exceeding the pay down of the short-term debt. Cash
used in investing activities is expected to increase as a result of the
anticipated growth in capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures represent the single largest use of Company funds.
Management believes that by reinvesting in Company stores, the Company will be
better able to respond to competitive challenges and increase operating
efficiencies. During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company expended
$46,830 for property and
-7-
<PAGE>
equipment, primarily for the construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company
stores, compared to $54,332 for the comparable period in the prior year. The
Company anticipates expending approximately $90,000 in fiscal 2001 for
construction, acquisition and remodeling of Company stores, primarily from funds
generated by operations, existing cash and short-term investments and bank lines
of credit.
As of October 31, 2000, the Company had long-term debt of $189,921,
consisting of $9,750 in principal amount of 7.70% Senior Notes, $30,000 in
principal amount of 7.38% Senior Notes, $10,800 in principal amount of 6.55%
Senior Notes, $50,000 in principal amount of Senior Notes, Series A through
Series F, with interest rates ranging from 6.18% to 7.23%, $80,000 in principal
amount of 7.89% Senior Notes, Series A, $6,445 of mortgage notes payable, and
$2,926 of capital lease obligations.
Interest on the 7.70% Senior Notes is payable on the 15th day of each month
at the rate of 7.70% per annum. Principal of the 7.70% Senior Notes matures in
forty quarterly installments beginning March 15, 1995. The Company may prepay
the 7.70% Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount of not less
than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a redemption
price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of February 1,
1993 between the Company and the purchasers of the 7.70% Senior Notes.
Interest on the 7.38% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on the 28th day
of June and December in each year, commencing June 28, 1996, and at maturity, at
the rate of 7.38% per annum. The 7.38% Senior Notes mature on December 28, 2020,
with prepayments of principal commencing December 28, 2010 and ending June 28,
2020, inclusive, with the remaining principal payable at maturity on December
28, 2020. The Company may prepay the 7.38% Senior Notes in whole or in part at
any time in an amount not less than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in
excess thereof at a redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note
Agreement dated as of December 1, 1995 between the Company and the purchaser of
the 7.38% Senior Notes.
Interest on the 6.55% Senior Notes is payable quarterly on the 18th day of
March, June, September and December of each year, commencing March 18, 1998, and
at maturity, at the rate of 6.55% per annum. Principal of the 6.55% Senior Notes
matures in five annual installments commencing December 18, 1999. The Company
may prepay the 6.55% Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount
of not less than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a
redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of
December 1, 1997 between the Company and the purchasers of the 6.55% Senior
Notes.
-8-
<PAGE>
Interest on the 6.18% to 7.23% Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, is
payable on the 23rd day of each April and October. Principal of the 6.18% to
7.23% Senior Notes, Series A through Series F, matures in various installments
beginning April 23, 2004. The Company may prepay the 6.18% to 7.23% Senior
Notes, Series A through Series F, in whole or in part at any time in an amount
of not less than $1,000 or integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof at a
redemption price calculated in accordance with the Note Agreement dated as of
April 15, 1999 between the Company and the purchasers of the 6.18% to 7.23%
Senior Notes, Series A through Series F.
Interest on the 7.89% Senior Notes, Series A, is payable semi-annually on
the 15th day of May and November in each year, commencing November 15, 2000, and
at maturity, at the rate of 7.89% per annum. The 7.89% Senior Notes mature on
May 15, 2010, with prepayments of principal commencing on May 15, 2004 and on
each May 15 thereafter to and including May 15, 2009, with the remaining
principal payable at maturity on May 15, 2010. The Company may prepay the 7.89%
Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time in an amount not less than $2,000
in the case of a partial prepayment at a redemption price calculated in
accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 1, 2000 between the
Company and the purchasers of the 7.89% Senior Notes.
To date, the Company has funded capital expenditures primarily from the
proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, issuance of the 6-1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures (which were converted into shares of Common Stock in
1994), the above-described Senior Notes, a mortgage note, and through funds
generated from operations. Future capital needs required to finance operations,
improvements and the anticipated growth in the number of Company stores are
expected to be met from cash generated by operations, existing cash, investments
and additional long-term debt or other securities as circumstances may dictate,
and are not expected to adversely affect liquidity.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and several states,
including Iowa, have established requirements for owners and operators of
underground gasoline storage tanks (USTs) with regard to (i) maintenance of leak
detection, corrosion protection and overfill/spill protection systems; (ii)
upgrade of existing tanks; (iii) actions required in the event of a detected
leak; (iv) prevention of leakage through tank closings; and (v) required
gasoline inventory recordkeeping. Since 1984, new Company stores have been
equipped with non-corroding fiberglass USTs, including many with double-wall
construction, over-fill protection and electronic tank monitoring, and the
Company has an active inspection and renovation program with respect to its
older USTs. The Company currently has 2,401 USTs, of which 2,071 are fiberglass
and 330 are steel.
-9-
<PAGE>
Management believes that its existing gasoline procedures and planned
capital expenditures will continue to keep the Company in substantial compliance
with all current federal and state UST regulations.
Several of the states in which the Company does business have trust fund
programs with provisions for sharing or reimbursing corrective action or
remediation costs incurred by UST owners, including the Company. In each of the
years ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company spent approximately $447 and
$516, respectively, for assessments and remediation. During the six months ended
October 31, 2000, the Company expended approximately $387 for such purposes.
Substantially all of these expenditures have been submitted for reimbursement
from state-sponsored trust fund programs and as of October 31, 2000,
approximately $4,900 has been received from such programs since their inception.
Such amounts are typically subject to statutory provisions requiring repayment
of the reimbursed funds for noncompliance with upgrade provisions or other
applicable laws. The Company has accrued a liability at October 31, 2000 of
approximately $200 for estimated expenses related to anticipated corrective
actions or remediation efforts, including relevant legal and consulting costs.
Management believes the Company has no material joint and several environmental
liability with other parties.
Three Months Ended October 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended October
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 1999 (Dollars and Amounts in Thousands)
-------------------------------------------
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by $82,956
(20.1%) over the comparable period in fiscal 2000. Retail gasoline sales
increased by $67,094 (29.4%) as the number of gallons sold increased by 6,024
(3.0%) while the average retail price per gallon increased 25.6%. During this
same period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased by
$17,991 (11.3%) due to the addition of 99 new Company Stores and a greater
number of stores in operation for at least three years.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.0% for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to 79.4% for the comparable period in the prior
year. The gross profit margins on retail gasoline sales decreased (to 8.1%)
during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from the second quarter of the prior
year (8.6%) due to the increase in wholesale gasoline costs during the quarter.
However, the gross profit margin per gallon increased (to $.1173) in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 from the comparable period in the prior year ($.0992).
The gross profits on retail sales of grocery and general merchandise also
increased (to 40.3%) from the comparable period in the prior year (38.5%),
primarily due to the increase in the retail prices of selective products.
-10-
<PAGE>
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 13.1% for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 13.3% for the comparable period in the prior
year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was
caused by an increase in the average retail price per gallon of gasoline sold
(25.6%).
Net income increased by $1,166 (9.2%). The increase in net income was
attributable primarily to the increase in retail sales of grocery and general
merchandise, an increase in the number of gallons of gasoline sold, an increase
in the gross profit margin per gallon of gasoline sold, an increase in the gross
profits on retail sales of grocery and general merchandise, and an increased
number of stores in operation for at least three years.
Six Months Ended October 31, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended October 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 (Dollars and Amounts in Thousands)
---------------------------------------
Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2001 increased by $224,653
(28.1%) over the comparable period in fiscal 2000. Retail gasoline sales
increased by $183,374 (42.2%) as the number of gallons sold increased by 22,237
(5.7%) and the average retail price per gallon increased 34.6%. During this
same period, retail sales of grocery and general merchandise increased by
$42,382 (13.4%) due to the addition of 99 new Company stores and a greater
number of stores in operation for at least three years.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.5% for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 compared to 78.8% for the comparable period in the prior
year. This result occurred because the gross profit margins on retail gasoline
sales decreased (to 8.3%) during the first six months of fiscal 2001 from the
comparable period in the prior year (8.9%) due to the increase in wholesale
gasoline costs during the period. However, the gross profit margin per gallon
increased in the first six months of fiscal 2001 (to $.1242) from the comparable
period in the prior year ($.0989). The gross profits on retail sales of grocery
and general merchandise increased (to 39.3%) from the comparable period in the
prior year (38.8%), primarily due to the increase in the retail prices of
selective products.
Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 12.6% for the first
six months of fiscal 2001 compared to 13.3% during the comparable period in the
prior year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was
caused primarily by an increase in the average retail price per gallon of
gasoline sold (34.6%).
Net income increased by $2,240 (8.2%). The increase in net income was
attributable primarily to the increase in retail sales of grocery and general
merchandise,
-11-
<PAGE>
an increase in the number of gallons of gasoline sold, an increase in the gross
profit margin per gallon of gasoline sold, an increase in the gross profits on
retail sales of grocery and general merchandise, and an increased number of
stores in operation at least three years.
Cautionary Statement
--------------------
The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains various "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking
statements represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future
events, including (i) any statements regarding future sales and gross profit
percentages, (ii) any statements regarding the continuation of historical trends
and (iii) any statements regarding the sufficiency of the Company's cash
balances and cash generated from operations and financing activities for the
Company's future liquidity and capital resource needs. The Company cautions
that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements, including, without limitations, the factors described in the
Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements included as Exhibit
99 to the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1997.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to its investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. The
Company places its investments with high quality credit issuers and, by policy,
limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. As stated in its
policy, the Company's first priority is to reduce the risk of principal loss.
Consequently, the Company seeks to preserve its invested funds by limiting
default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. The Company mitigates default
risk by investing in only high quality credit securities that it believes to be
low risk and by positioning its portfolio to respond appropriately to a
significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor.
The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or
resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity.
At October 31, 2000, the Company had no derivative instruments, but
management is aware of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 (as amended by SFAS Nos.
137 and 138) establishing accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments.
-12-
<PAGE>
The Company believes that an immediate 100 basis point move in interest
rates affecting the Company's floating and fixed rate financial instruments as
of October 31, 2000 would have an immaterial effect on the Company's pretax
earnings and on the fair value of those instruments.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
---------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
-----------------
The Company from time to time is a party to legal proceedings arising from
the conduct of its business operations, including proceedings relating to
personal injury and employment claims, environmental remediation or
contamination, disputes under franchise agreements and claims by state and
federal regulatory authorities relating to the sale of products pursuant to
state or federal licenses or permits. Management does not believe that the
potential liability of the Company with respect to such other proceedings
pending as of the date of this Form 10-Q is material in the aggregate.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
---------------------------------------------------
At the Annual Meeting of shareholders held on September 15, 2000, seven
directors were elected for a term of one year. Each of the nominees so elected
previously has served as a director of the Company.
