NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company's basic net earnings per share amounts have been computed by
dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common
shares. The Company's diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net
earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common
share equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The foregoing information for the periods ended July 4, 1999, and July 5, 1998,
is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of the Registrant, it
reflects all the adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, is summarized from audited
consolidated financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures
contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the 1998 Annual Report.
Interim results for the period are not indicative of those for the year.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ
materially from historical results. Investors are cautioned that all forward
looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. The factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially are the following: consumer spending and
debt levels; interest rates; continuity of relationships with and purchases by
major customers; product mix; competitive pressure on sales and pricing, and
increases in material or production cost which cannot be recouped in product
pricing. Additional information concerning those and other factors is contained
in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not
limited to the Form 10-K, copies of which are available from the Company without
charge.
Comparison Second Quarter 1999 and 1998
Net sales increased by $2,468,000 from $16,294,000 to $18,762,000 due
primarily to increased unit volume.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 29% to 32%
primarily due to higher efficiencies at the Company's manufacturing facilities.
The Company accrues unexpended advertising costs budgeted for the year
against each quarter's sales. Major advertising commitments are incurred in
advance of the expenditures, and the timing of sales through dealers and
distributors to the ultimate customer does not permit specific identification of
the customers' purchase to the actual time an advertisement appears. Advertising
charges included in selling expense in each quarter represent that percentage of
the annual advertising budget associated with that quarter's shipments.
Revisions to this budget result in periodic changes to the accrued liability for
committed advertising expenditures.
Earnings before provision for income taxes increased $753,000 from
$3,130,000 to $3,883,000. The provision for income taxes increased from $370,000
to $750,000 and the effective income tax rate increased from 12% to 19%, as a
result of increased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings increased $373,000
from $2,760,000 to $3,133,000, or 14% and earnings per share increased from $.38
to $.43.
The Company maintains adequate liquidity for all of its anticipated
capital requirements. As of quarter-end, there were no material capital
commitments outstanding.
<PAGE>
Comparison First Six Months 1999 and 1998
Net sales increased by $5,113,000 from $35,259,000 to $40,372,000 due
primarily to increased unit volume.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 27% to 30% due to
improved product mix, margins and higher efficiencies at the Company's
manufacturing facilities.
The accrual for unexpended advertising costs discussed in the Second
Quarter comparison also applies to the first six months.
Earnings before provision for income taxes increased $1,634,000 from
$6,289,000 to $7,923,000. The provision for income taxes increased from $719,000
to $1,510,000 and the effective income tax rate increased from 11% to 19%, as a
result of increased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings increased $843,000
from $5,570,000 to $6,413,000, or 15% and earnings per share increased from $.76
to $.87.
YEAR 2000
The year 2000 (Y2K) issue is the result of computer programs using a
two-digit format to indicate the year in any date. Computer systems with such
software will be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, thus causing
computer errors which could lead to disruptions in operations. In 1997 the
Company began the work necessary to address its Y2K exposure and focused
primarily on two areas:
Internal Systems: During 1997 the Company began upgrading or replacing
its affected programs or systems to become Y2K compliant, and this effort was
completed prior to March 31, 1999. Additionally, the Company is in the process
of conducting full scale year 2000 et seq. simulations of mission critical
systems to verify the efficacy of the upgrades and replacements. Those
simulations should be completed by September 30, 1999. The conversion costs have
been expensed as incurred, and are not considered material. At this time the
Company believes it is unnecessary to adopt a contingency plan.
<PAGE>
External (Supplier) Systems: The Company has contacted suppliers of
products and services to assess whether the suppliers are Y2K compliant or to
monitor their progress toward Y2K compliance. The vast majority of the Company's
key suppliers have responded that they either are or will be Y2K compliant prior
to the year 2000. However, there can be no absolute assurance that suppliers and
others will timely resolve their own Y2K compliance issues. Additionally, a
small number of the Company's suppliers have provided inadequate responses as to
their Y2K readiness, and as a result the Company is implementing a contingency
plan to address potential interruption of supplied products or services. The
contingency plan includes use of alternate suppliers and / or stockpiling of
certain supplied items. Costs to-date for the external compliance program have
also been immaterial.
The potential effect of the year 2000 issue on the Company and its
business partners will not be fully determinable until the year 2000 and
thereafter. Notwithstanding the Company's efforts described above, if year 2000
modifications are not properly completed either by the Company or entities with
whom the Company conducts business, the Company's revenues and financial
condition could be adversely impacted.
QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's interest income is affected by changes in the general
level of U.S. interest rates. Changes in U.S. interest rates could affect the
interest earned on the Company's cash equivalents and investments. Currently,
changes in U.S. interest rates would not have a material affect on the interest
earned on the Company's cash equivalents and investments, as these investments
are primarily municipal bonds. A majority of these bonds earn a fixed rate of
interest while the remaining portion earn interest at a variable rate. The
Company uses sensitivity analysis to determine it's exposure to changes in
interest rates. The Company does not anticipate that exposure to interest rate
market risk will have a material impact on the Company due to the nature of the
Company's investments.
