Control Chief Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of Control Chief Holdings,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Control Chief Corporation, (the
"Company"). All significant intercompany accounts are eliminated upon
consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the
disclosure of contingent a reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the
estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been
included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full year.
The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form
10-QSB, and do not contain certain information included in the Company's
annual financial statements and notes. Accordingly, these statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto appearing in the annual report of the Company on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
2. Earnings Per Common Share
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation
of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted
earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and
convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to
the previously defined fully diluted earnings per share. Although the
Company has issued stock equivalents in the form of stock options, the
dilutive earnings per share amounts would be the same as basic earnings
per common share.
3. Cash Dividends Paid
The Board of Directors of the Company approved a cash dividend
totaling $49,987 ($.05 per share) payable on September 25, 1998 to
holders of record at the close of business on September 7, 1998.
Part I - Financial Information
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The following discussion and analysis may be understood more fully
by reference to the consolidated financial statements, notes to the
consolidated financial statements, and management's discussion and
analysis or plan of operations contained in the Control Chief Holdings,
Inc. and Subsidiary annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998.
General
Control Chief Holdings, Inc. ("the Company") functions as a holding
company and is the sole shareholder of Control Chief Corporation
("Control Chief"). Control Chief designs, engineers and produces remote
control devices for material handling equipment and other industrial
applications. These controls use either radio or infrared waves as
communications media to transmit control data from portable units to
receivers mounted on various types of apparatus. All models of products
are microprocessor-based systems. Remote controls provide the customer a
cost-effective means to achieve greater operational safety and flexibility.
These devices are utilized worldwide in concert with various material
handling equipment, industrial machines, process equipment and mobile
apparatus. Control Chief markets its products through a network of
independent manufacturers' representatives located in key geographical
centers throughout the United States, Canada, and Central and South
America. Additionally, products are sold through direct efforts,
distributors, private labeling agreements and licenses.
Forward-Looking Information
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation includes
certain forward-looking statements which reflect management's current
views with respect to future operating performance, ongoing cash
requirements, and the Year 2000 Issue. The words "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or those anticipated. Factors that could or
contribute to such differences include those discussed elsewhere herein.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-
looking statements.
Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
The Company's results of operations may be affected in the future by
a variety of factors including: competitive pricing pressures, new product
offerings by the Company and competitors, new technologies, product cost
changes, changes in the overall economic climate, availability of raw
materials, and product mix. The Company experiences competition for its
remote controls from several suppliers of similar products. Throughout
the world there are numerous remote control manufacturers. The Company
competes principally on the basis of technology and quality. Worldwide
competition is extremely price conscious with many companies entering
and exiting the market. While significant market shares have not
fluctuated with the traditional suppliers to the market, new entrants
have depressed prices. The Company believes its products are
competitively priced taking into consideration the Company's reputation
as a long time, high-quality manufacturer of reliable, durable state of
the art devices.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain financial data, as a percentage
of total revenues, for the three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998.

NET SALES. Net sales decreased to $1,438,224 for the three months
ended March 1999 from $2,298,016 for the three months ended March 1998,
a decrease of 37.4%. For the nine-month period ended March 1999, net
sales decreased $262,044 or 4.1% as compared to the nine-month period
for the prior year. Demand for the Company's products reflected a
decrease for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Sales and demand for the
Company's spare parts and services remained fairly constant.
COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD AND GROSS MARGIN. Cost of products sold decreased
by $662,729 for the three months ended March 1999 as compared to the
same period last year. For the nine-month period ended March 1999, cost
of products sold decreased by $313,721 or 9.0% as compared to the
nine-month period last year. This overall decrease in the cost of
products sold is consistent with the overall decrease in net sales for
the comparable periods and management's cost reduction measures. Gross
margin decreased for the to $806,562 from $1,003,625 for the three months
ended March 1998, due to the reduction in revenues in the current period.
Gross margin, expressed as a percentage of revenues, increased 12.4%
from 43.7% for March 1998 to 56.1% for March 1999. For the nine-month
period ended March 1999, the gross margin percentage increased by 2.8%
from 44.9% in 1998 to 47.7% in 1999. The change in the gross margin
percentage is attributable to the product mix, price competition and
cost reduction measures.
WARRANTIES. The Company's products are generally under warranty against
defects in material and workmanship, the duration of which generally does
not extend beyond one year. Actual experience has indicated that the
amount of warranty expense has not fluctuated significantly, and the
estimated future warranty obligation relating to the Company's products
would not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations. Therefore, the Company has charged warranty
expense against earnings as the expense is incurred. Because the Company
has not accrued for warranty expense, it will incur expenses associated
with prior sales which are not presently reflected in the Company's
financial statements. If the Company were to have accrued for estimated
warranty expense instead of deducting the current period expenses, the
difference would have been less than 1% of the net earnings of the
Company for the periods reported. Warranty costs of approximately
$14,500 and $16,400 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, are included in the costs of products sold. Warranty
costs of approximately $40,700 and $44,600 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, are included in the costs of
products sold during those periods.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. Selling, general and
administrative costs reflected a slight decrease of $15,108 for the three
months ended March 1999 as compared to the same period last year. These
costs increased as a percentage of net sales from 26.8% in 1998 to 41.7%
in 1999, due principally to the reduction in revenues in the current
period and relatively fixed salaries and other administrative costs.
For the nine-month period ended March 1999, selling, general and
adminstrative costs increased by $50,594 as compared to the same nine-
month period last year. Overall, for the nine-month periods ended
March 31, selling, general and administrative costs increased as a
percentage of net sales from 27.8% in 1998 to 29.9% in 1999.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS. Research and development costs increased
by $24,294 or 49.9% for the three months ended March 1999 as compared to
the same period last year. For the nine-month period ended March 1999,
research and development costs increased by $57,306 or 36.7% as compared
to the same nine-month period last year. This increase reflects the
Company's continuing commitment to invest funds in research and
development to stay abreast of technological changes, enhance its
current products and develop new product lines. It is the Company's
policy not to release public information relating to its research
and development programs until new or enhanced products are ready for
the market. The premature public notification of product development,
in the opinion of management, stands to potentially reduce the
anticipated return on its research and development investment by
notifying competitors of a significant portion of the Company's
marketing strategy.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $9,601 for the three
months ended March 1999 as compared to the same period last year.
Interest expense decreased by $20,524 for the nine months ended March
1999. This decrease reflects the overall reduction in the Company's
short-term debt due to an improvement in the Company's working capital
and cash flow, and the decrease in long-term debt due to normal and
additional principal payments.
EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Earnings before income taxes were $138,708
for the three months ended March 1999 as compared to $328,957 for the
three months ended March 1998, representing a decrease of $190,249 or
57.8%. Earnings before income taxes were $863,069 for the nine months
ended March 1999 as compared to $1,047,681 for the nine months ended
March 1998. Included in the pretax earnings for 1998 is a gain in the
amount of $127,088 from the sale, in July 1997, of the Company's facility
located in Lewis Run, Pennsylvannia. Excluding the gain, earnings
before income taxes reflect a decrease of $57,524, or 6.2%, for the
nine months ended March 1999 over 1998.
INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective income tax rate was 42.3% and 41.4%
for the three and nine-month periods ended March 1999 as compared to
41.3% and 41.8% for the three and nine-month periods ended March 1998.
NET EARNINGS. Overall earnings, after income taxes, were $80,008 and
$505,769 for the three and nine-month periods ended March 1999 as
compared to earnings, after income taxes, of $193,257 and $609,981
for the three and nine-month periods ended March 1998.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE. The Company's earnings per common share
were $.08 and $.51 for the three and nine-month periods ended March
1999, which represents a decrease of $.11 and $.09 per common share
over the three and nine-month periods ended March 1998, respectively.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
The Company has a $750,000 line of credit with National City Bank of
Pennsylvania (the "Bank"). The revolving credit line is collateralized
by substantially all of the assets of the Company, with a variable
interest rate equal to the Bank's prevailing prime rate. The line of
credit is used to finance accounts receivable and inventory of the
Company. At March 31, 1999, there was no borrowing outstanding under
this financing arrangement. The line of credit is subject to an annual
review by the Bank each November.
In addition to the line of credit, the Company has a commercial term
loan, dated January 1997, in the original amount of $650,000 with
National City Bank. The term loan bears interest at 8.47% and is being
repaid in forty-eight (48) monthly principal and interest installments
of $16,050. At March 31, 1999, a total of $281,258 was outstanding under
this term loan.
The Company also has a term loan with GMAC Financing. The balance
outstanding at March 31, 1999 was $7,331.
The Company's liquidity improved during the period. At March 31, 1999,
the Company had net working capital of $2,469,050, compared to $2,217,450
at June 30, 1998. The Company's current ratio also improved during the
nine months of fiscal 1999, with current assets at 3.84 times current
liabilities at March 31, 1999, compared to 2.64 at June 30, 1998.
During the nine-month period ended March 1999, the Company's cash
expenditures for equipment totaled $100,921. In addition, during the
nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company repaid $292,483 of bank
indebtedness, paid cash dividends totaling $49,987, and purchased
common stock for its treasury in the amount of $24,168.
Current financial resources, including working capital and the existing
line of credit, and anticipated funds from operations are expected to
be sufficient to meet cash requirements throughout fiscal 1999,
including scheduled long-term debt repayment and planned capital
expenditures. There can be no assurance, however, that unplanned capital
replacement or other future events will not require the Company to
seek additional debt or equity financing and, if so required, that it
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
During the nine months ended March 1999, the Company's net cash provided
by operations was $1,191,755 as compared to net cash used in operations
of $52,922 for the nine months ended March 1998.
Impact of Year 2000 Issue
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a
result, any of the Company's computer programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including among other things, a
temporary inability to process transactions, prepare invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.
The Company's management has directed its computer and communication
systems group ("the group") to review, assess, and address the potential
problems within the Company's operations which could result from the
Year 2000 century change. The Company has not hired outside consultants
to assess the Company's Year 2000 compliance. The group has started
to coordinate the identification of, and will coordinate the
implementation of, changes to computer hardware and software
applications necessary to insure Year 2000 compliance and the integrity
and reliability of the Company's informational, operational and
manufacturing systems. The group has also started to coordinate
the identification of potential Year 2000 problems related to the
Company's non-informational technology systems and material third parties.
Concurrently, the Company has completed implementation of a new
company-wide information system. This system addresses and solves the
great majority of the Company's Year 2000 internal operational issues.
The new computer system has replaced the Company's mainframe computer.
The new system has also replaced the majority of the Company's
information technology ("IT") in its internal operations, which includes
applications used in manufacturing, payroll processing, client order
processing, inventory management and various administrative functions.
The costs of these upgrades and conversions, approximately $140,000 to
date and estimated to total $165,000 in the aggregate, are not included
in the Company's current or future estimated Year 2000 costs as these
upgrades and conversions were planned prior to its Year 2000 compliance
plan and their implementation has not been accelerated because of the
Year 2000 problem.
It is estimated that the group is approximately 95% complete as to its
assessment of the Company's IT systems and that costs to complete its
final assessment, remediation and testing of these IT systems are
immaterial with respect to the Company's overall operating costs. The
Company does not separately track the internal costs incurred for the
Year 2000 project and that such costs are principally the related
payroll costs for its information systems group. The Company estimates
that the cost of this phase will not exceed $10,000.
The assessment phase with respect to non-informational technology
systems is approximately 70% complete with final assessment plans and
any appropriate remediation and testing scheduled to be completed by
June 30, 1999. The group has reviewed and tested the embedded chips
and microprocessors in the products it has previously manufactured and
in the products it currently manufactures and has determined that
these do not create a Year 2000 problem. The Company in response to
its customers' requests, issues a standard 2000 letter. The group has
not concluded its final assessment of embedded chips in its manufacturing
equipment and of other non-informational technology systems but does
not anticipate any major date-sensatvie problems. It is estimated that the
cost to date of this phase of its compliance plan has not exceeded $2,000.
Further, the Company does not expect to incur material costs to complete
this phase of its plan.
The group is approximately 50% complete as to the assessment of Year 2000
compliance by material third parties. The group has received written
assurance from its financial institution that its systems will be Year
2000 compliant. The group has identified its other material third parties,
such as customers, major suppliers, manufacturers' representatives and
utility and communication companies, that might have a material adverse
effect on the Company's manufacturing business, results of operations
and financial position if they are not Year 2000 compliant. The group has
completed and mailed a questionaire to survey those third parties as to
their Year 2000 readiness. Approximately 500 requests were sent during
the first calendar quarter of 1999. To date, the Company has received
approximately a 47% response from the material third parties. These
responses have indicated that these third parties were either Year 2000
compliant or in the process of completing their compliance plans and
testing. A follow up questionaire will be sent during the second quarter
of calendar year 1999. In addition, alternative suppliers will be
identified for those vendors not expected to be Year 2000 compliant. Costs
to date have been immaterial with respect to the Company's overall
operating expenditures. Additional costs to complete this phase are not
expected to exceed approximately $5,000.
Should the Company have a systems failure due to the century change, or
a material third party with whom the Company deals with or relies upon
to deliver materials for manufacturing be unable to assure Year 2000
compliance or timely supply materials, the Company believes that the
most significant impact would likely be a delay of thirty to ninety
days beyond scheduled delivery dates of its custom products. The
Company anticipates that it would be able to support its spare parts
and repair business for approximately thirty days without major
interruptions based upon historical demand and inventory quantities. If
significant numbers of the Company's customers are not Year 2000 compliant,
it may reduce or delay such customer demands for the Company's products. To
the extent the Company discovers any Year 2000 problems, the Company
may incur additional significant costs in order to remedy such deficiencies.
The group has not yet drafted a formal contingency plan with respect to
the Year 2000 problem. The group intends to complete a formal
contingency plan to present to the Company's directors and management
during the third calendar quarter of 1999. It is anticipated that
this plan will primarily address how the Company should prepare for
problems that may result from material third parties not being Year
2000 compliant.
