GALAXY FOODS COMPANY
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this report.
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking
statements, within the meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of
the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, the attainment of
which involves various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe",
"estimate", "anticipate", "continue", or similar terms,
variations of these terms or the negative of those terms. The
Company's actual results may differ materially from those
described in these forward-looking statements due to among other
factors, competition in the Company's product markets, dependence
on suppliers, the Company's manufacturing experience, and
production delays or inefficiencies.
Galaxy Foods Company (the "Company") is principally engaged in
the development, manufacturing and marketing of a variety of
healthy cheese and dairy related products, as well as other
cheese alternatives. These healthy cheese and dairy related
products include low or no fat, low or no cholesterol and
lactose-free varieties. These products are sold throughout the
United States and internationally to customers in the retail,
food service and industrial markets. The Company's headquarters
and manufacturing facilities are located in Orlando, Florida.
Results of Operations
Net Sales were $10,521,630 in the quarter ended September 30,
1999, compared to net sales of
$7,583,838 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, an increase
of 39%. Net sales were $20,902,705 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to $13,346,376 for the same period
one year ago, an increase of 57%. The increase in sales has been
a trend for the company over the last three fiscal years. The
Company has begun to spend money on targeted advertising
campaigns for its flagship brand of products, Veggie. Marketing
activities included print, television and radio advertising in
key markets across the country. This has resulted in a steady
upward trend in sales volume for the Veggie line of products and
the Company expects this trend in sales volume to continue
throughout fiscal 2000.
Cost of Goods Sold were $6,722,064 representing 64% of net sales
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared with
$5,224,605 or 69% of net sales for the same period ended
September 30, 1998. Cost of Goods Sold were $13,312,726 for the
six months ended September 30, 1999, representing 64% of net
sales as compared to $9,555,899 or 72% of net sales for the six
months ended September 30, 1998. The Company was able to improve
gross margin by focusing on production efficiencies, longer
production runs, and changes in the product mix to focus on sales
of higher margin, branded products.
Selling expenses were $1,202,815 for the quarter ended September
30, 1999, compared with $877,045 for the same period ended
September 30, 1998, an increase of 37%. For the six months ended
September 30, 1999, selling expenses were $2,948,424 as compared
to $1,454,906 for the same period one year ago, an increase of
103%. The increase in expenses over the same period a year ago
is mainly attributed to a new advertising campaign to promote the
Company's flagship line of products, Veggie. The increase in
selling expenses correlates to an increase in sales, as
approximately 32% of selling expenses, such as brokerage
commissions, are variable in nature and increase as sales
increase.
<PAGE> 9
Delivery expenses were $545,868 for the quarter ended September
30, 1999, compared with $380,660 for the same period ended
September 30, 1998, a 43% increase. Delivery expenses were
$987,712 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 as compared
to $654,706 for the six months ended September 30, 1998. The
increase in delivery costs is a result of the increase in sales
shipments to customers for the periods ended September 30, 1999
as compared with the same periods in the prior year.
General and Administrative expenses were $946,694 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999, compared with $554,182 for the same
period ended September 30, 1998, a 71% increase. General and
administrative expenses increased 92% to $1,798,905 for the six
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $937,094 for the
same period one year ago. This change is primarily attributed to
increased expenses for consulting services for conversion to a
new network server to accommodate additional users as well as
expenses attributable to additional employees hired in connection
with the Company's growth.
Research and Development expenses were $53,653 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999, compared with $47,354 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998. These expenses were $95,315 for the
six months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $87,872 for
the same period one year ago.
Other Income and Expenses netted to $250,816 in expense for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $52,490 in
expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. These
expenses netted to $329,219 for the six months ended September
30, 1999 as compared to $60,913 for the same period in fiscal
1999. Interest expense increased due to additional draws on the
line of credit during fiscal 2000 and the capitalization of
interest expense to the construction in progress during fiscal
1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities -- Net cash used by operating activities was
$2,111,731 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 compared
to net cash used of $2,919,018 for the same period in fiscal
1999. In the six months ended September 30, 1999, the increase
in cash used in operating activities was a result of an increase
in trade receivables in connection with the Company's growth in
sales. In addition, the Company used some of the proceeds of its
$4,000,000 subordinated note payable to Finova Mezzanine Capital
to pay down outstanding accounts payable. During the same period
in fiscal 1999, cash was used in connection with the build-up of
inventories to manage the shift from distributor to direct sales
for some large customers. Direct shipping requires larger
inventory on hand balances and a reduced lead time on orders but
reduces the costs associated with the sale.
Investing Activities -- Net cash used in investing activities
totaled $932,213 for the six month period ended September 30,
1999 compared to net cash used of $362,720 for the same period in
fiscal 1999. The increase in cash used for investing activities
during fiscal 2000 as compared to fiscal 1999 resulted from
purchases of racking and cooling equipment and the construction
of a new Culinary School for foodservice customers during the
first two quarters in fiscal 2000.
Financing Activities -- Net cash flows provided by financing
activities were $4,007,673 for the six months ended September 30,
1999 compared to $3,262,267 for the six months ended September
30, 1998. The increase in primarily attributable to the Company
closing on a $4,000,000 subordinated note payable to Finova
Mezzanine Corporation on September 30, 1999. The subordinated
note bears interest at a rate of 13.5% and is secured by a
secondary lien on the Company's assets.
In addition, on November 1, 1996, the Company secured a $2
million line of credit with Finova Capital Corporation with
interest at the prime rate plus two percent. The availability
under this line of credit arrangement is calculated on a
borrowing base of eligible inventory and accounts receivable.
This line of credit was increased to $3 million during February
1997. During June 1998, the Company amended the line of credit
availability to $3.5 million. The amendment also reduced the
interest on the line of credit to prime plus one half of a
percent. During December 1998, the Company amended the line of
credit availability to $5.5 million.
<PAGE> 10
On June 27, 1997, the Company secured a $1.5 million term note
payable with Finova Capital Corporation to finance the
acquisition of certain production equipment. The agreement calls
for interest at the prime rate plus two percent. During June
1998, the Company signed an amendment to the above contract which
expanded the term note payable to $3 million. The amendment
also reduced the interest on the term note to prime plus one
percent.
On October 16, 1998, the Company sold 357,143 shares of its
common stock to a private investor at an aggregate price of
$937,500.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"). FAS
133 requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure
them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative
may specifically be designated as a hedge, the objective of which
is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition of: (i) the
changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that
are attributable to the hedged risk; or (ii) the earnings effect
of the hedged transaction. For a derivative not designated as a
hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized as income in
the period of change. FAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is
effective for all fiscal year quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Historically, the Company has not entered
into any derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or
for speculative purposes. Accordingly, the Company does not
expect adoption of the new standard on April 1, 2001 to affect
its financial statements.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 problem is the result of information technology
systems and embedded systems (products that are made with
microprocessor (computer) chips) using a two-digit format, as
opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such information
technology and embedded systems may be unable to properly
recognize and process date-sensitive information beginning
January 1, 2000.
The Company has undertaken an assessment of the potential impact
of the Year 2000 issue to its internal operations. Such
assessment has included a review of the impact primarily in the
following areas: production and manufacturing systems, business
systems, including sales and marketing, billing, and
infrastructure. The Company's infrastructure consists of a
network of personal computers and servers that were obtained from
major suppliers. The Company also utilizes various business,
administrative and financial software applications on the
infrastructure to perform the business functions of the Company.
The Company has tested and upgraded its information technology
systems and embedded systems, which may be affected by the Year
2000 issue. Based on the progress the Company has made in
identifying and addressing the Company's Year 2000 issues and the
plan and timeline to complete the compliance program, management
does not foresee significant risks associated with the Company's
Year 2000 compliance at this time. During Fiscal 1999, the
Company replaced its accounting and manufacturing software
packages to systems which are Year 2000 compliant. The Company
has also replaced any existing hardware which was not Year 2000
compliant. These replacements were a part of the normal upgrades
to the Company's systems. To date, the Company has incurred
approximately $135,000 to upgrade its systems for compliance with
Year 2000 issues. These upgrades were also undertaken to improve
the functionality of the Company's production and accounting
systems. No additional material expenses are expected during
fiscal 2000 in connection with this project.
<PAGE> 11
The Company has established a team dedicated to periodically
reviewing not only the internal information technology and
embedded systems used in the operation of the Company, but also
the information technology and embedded systems and the Year 2000
compliance plans of the Company's significant customers and
suppliers, shippers, utilities, financial institutions and
transfer agent with which the Company has material relationships.
If the operations of any of these third parties are adversely
impacted by Year 2000 deficiencies, it may have a material,
adverse impact on the Company and its operations. Accordingly,
the Company has requested information and documentation from the
Company's significant customers and suppliers, shippers, utilities,
financial institutions, and transfer agent relating to their Year 2000
compliance plans in the form of a survey.
The Company has received certifications from approximately 90% of its
significant customers. Based upon the responses received, no customers
that responded indicated that they are subject to any significant problems,
with their respective Year 2000 compliance. The Company can not be assured,
however, that its significant customers have adequately considered the
impact of the Year 2000 problem.
The Company has received certifications from approximately 95% of its
material suppliers. Based upon the responses received, no suppliers that
responded indicated that they are subject to any significant problems with
their respective Year 2000 compliance. Of the 5% who have not responded,
there are none who are sole source suppliers of their respective products
or services for the Company. For each of the non-respondents, the Company
regularly does business with an alternate supplier who has certified Year
2000 compliance to the Company. Therefore, although management does not, at
this time, know of the potential costs to the Company of any adverse impact or
effect of any Year 2000 deficiencies by these third parties, management does
not expect any material losses to result from any Year 2000 deficiencies of the
non-respondents. The Company can not be assured, however, that its significant
suppliers have adequately considered the impact of the Year 2000 problem.
The Company has received certifications from its financial institutions, all
of which have indicated that they are not subject to any significant problems
with their respective Year 2000 compliance. The Company relies on its financial
institutions for availability of cash and loan draws to finance its operations.
The Company can not be assured, however, that its financial institutions
have adequately considered the impact of the Year 2000 problem.
The Company has received certifications from its transfer agent which has
indicated that it is not subject to any significant problems with its Year 2000
complaince. The Company relies on its transfer agent to maintain and track
investor information. The Company can not be assured, however, that its
transfer agent has adequately considered the impact of the Year 2000 problem.
Because the Company has evaluated the status of the systems used
in business activities and operations of the Company and the
systems of the third parties with which the Company conducts its
business, management is developing a comprehensive contingency
plan and identifying "the most reasonably likely worst case
scenario" at this time. This assessment includes the Company's
production equipment, computer systems, HVAC systems, coolers and
security systems. Management expects to have completed and
tested all contingency plans no later than December 1, 1999. As
management identifies significant risks related to the Company's
Year 2000 compliance or if the Company's Year 2000 compliance
program's progress deviates substantially from the anticipated
timeline, management will develop appropriate contingency plans.
