Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The following discussion includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on the
beliefs of the Company's management and on assumptions made by and
information currently available to management. All statements other than
statements of historical fact, regarding the Company's financial position,
business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future
operations of the Company are forward-looking statements. When used herein,
the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and
words or phrases of similar meaning, as they relate to the Company or
management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations
will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include the Company's ability to maintain or expand
its distribution abilities, including the risk of disruptions in the
transportation system and relationships with brokers and distributors.
Further, actual results may be affected by the Company's ability to compete
on price and other factors with other manufacturers and distributors of
frozen dessert products; customer acceptance of new products; general trends
in the food business as they relate to customer preferences for the
Company's products; and the Company's ability to obtain raw materials and
produce finished products in a timely manner, as well as its ability to
develop and maintain its co-packing relationships and strategic alliances.
In addition, there are risks inherent in dependence on key customers, the
loss of which could materially adversely affect the Company's operations.
The reader is advised that this list of risks is not exhaustive and should
not be construed as any prediction by the Company as to which risks would
cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements.
Results of Operations
Sales
The Company's sales increased 65% to $3,650,515 for the second quarter, and
increased 52% to $5,828,381 for the six months ended April 30, 1999,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1998.
Since the second quarter of last year, the Company has been achieving record
increases in sales primarily due to the smoothie products introduced at that
time. Sales gains have also been achieved in fiscal 1999 due to the recent
penetration into the convenience store market with the Company's soft serve
frozen yogurt. In March the Company announced that it had recently signed a
two-year contract with Maverik Country Stores to provide soft-serve frozen
yogurt. Maverik Country Stores is a chain of 176 convenience stores located
in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado. The Company
is also providing its dispenser smoothie product to Maverik for testing at
several of its stores.
From a broader perspective, the driving forces behind the year to year
revenue trends continues to be due to the competitive success of the
Company's products, new product development capabilities, and long-term
customer alliances. The successes are also due to an established national
distribution system including a network of brokers and distributors, and
expanded direct sales activity. The strategy implemented in 1997 to
intensify direct sales activity through its own regional sales managers has
enabled the Company to better support its brokers and distributors, and
recently to penetrate the convenience store market segment.
The Company has a history of developing innovative products. A year ago the
Company had just developed its YOCREAM line of fruit smoothies, which are
adaptable to both blender and dispenser operation. Since this product was
introduced, it has accounted for much of the revenue increases, and is
expected to continue to drive the growth in fiscal 1999. In March, the
Company announced its new "Bountiful Harvest" all-natural bottled fruit
smoothie beverage developed for direct consumer purchase. This new beverage
introduction reflects the Company's strategy of building on its strengths.
Management believes that this product with over 40% fruit offers a unique
beverage for the health conscious consumer, at a competitive price. This
product is initially being offered in 150 Wal-Mart superstores. The Company
is also exploring opportunities for the sale of this product in the
foodservice and convenience store segments.
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit margin for the second quarter decreased from
36.0% to 32.6%, and the gross profit margin for the six months decreased
slightly from 33.8% to 31.6% of sales. The fluctuations in gross profit
were primarily due to the change in sales mix, and the increase in costs
associated with the introduction of a new product.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses in the second quarter decreased, as a
percentage of sales, from 13.3% to 10.6% of sales, and for the six months
decreased from 14.8% to 11.5% of sales. Such expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenues, primarily due to the growth in sales.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses in the second quarter decreased, as a
percentage of sales, from 12.7% to 9.7% of sales, and for the six months
decreased from 13.9% to 10.8% of sales. Various expenses increased during
the second quarter, but overall general and administrative expenses
decreased, as a percentage of sales, primarily due to the growth in sales.
Income from Operations
The income from operations in the second quarter increased 102% to $451,824,
or 12.4% of sales. Six months results showed a gain of 179% to $542,583, or
9.3% of sales. The improved results are primarily due to the significant
increase in revenues with only slight increases in operating expenses.
Net Income
Net income for the quarter was $308,151, or 8.4% of sales, and reflected a
28% increase over the same period last year. The results for the quarter
are after deducting a provision for taxes of $121,000, compared with a tax
benefit of $50,000 included in the 1998 quarterly results. The net income
for the six months was $357,666, or 6.1% of sales, and reflected a 92%
increase over the same period last year. The results for the six months are
after deducting a provision for taxes of $140,000, compared with a tax
benefit of $50,000 included in the 1998 results.
Net income in the first six months of fiscal 1999 has been reduced, for the
first time, by a provision for income taxes. As of the end of fiscal 1998,
the Company has recognized substantially all of the deferred tax benefit of
its net operating loss carryforwards for financial reporting purposes, thus
the need for the current tax provision; however, federal and state operating
loss carryfowards aggregating approximately $2,600,000 and $1,680,000,
respectively, remain available to offset income for tax purposes in the
current and future years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
In recent years, the Company has financed its operations and expansion from
bank loans, operating leases, capital leases, stock sales, and internally
generated funds.
As of April 30, 1999, the Company's total borrowings under its bank line of
credit were $759,700, compared with $1,069,800 at April 30, 1998. The
reduction in the amount borrowed is due to the growth in operating results
and related cash flow over the past twelve months. The line permits
borrowings of up to $1,700,000 subject to the Company being in compliance
with certain ratios and negative covenants, and is collateralized by
qualified accounts receivable, inventories and loan insurance provided by a
governmental agency. Interest is at 1 percent over the bank's basic
commercial lending rate. The line is subject to renewal by July 1, 1999.
Accounts receivable at April 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998 were $1,358,366
and $907,749, respectively. This increase of 49.6% is primarily attributable
to the increase in sales compared to the fourth quarter of last year. The
increase in sales is due to seasonal fluctuations in product demand, and the
substantial increase in sales related to the smoothie products and the
penetration of the convenience store segment. The current level is higher
than the April 30, 1998 total of $740,268 due to the current quarter's
growth in revenues described above.
Inventories at April 30, 1999 and October 31, 1998 were $2,309,645 and
$1,917,125 respectively. This increase of 20.5% is primarily spread between
increases in finished goods, and raw materials. The current level is higher
than the April 30, 1998 total of $2,008,196, primarily due to an increase in
raw materials necessitated by the growth in YOCREAM fruit smoothie sales.
At April 30, 1999 the Company had working capital of $1,953,533 compared
with $1,414,713 at October 31, 1998, and $1,310,979 at April 30, 1998. The
improvement is primarily due to increases in receivables and inventory, and
the reduction in bank borrowings. This has resulted from an increase in
cash provided from operating activities over the last year, and the proceeds
from the exercise of stock options in fiscal year 1998.
The Company believes its existing assets, bank lines, and revenues from
operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least
the next twelve months. The Company also expects its bank line to be
renewed or replaced at maturity. In the event that the Company's bank lines
were not renewed or replaced, the Company would need to curtail operations
substantially, seek additional capital, or both.
The Company has begun the process of making its assessment of its Year 2000
issues. Management has determined that its accounting software is Year 2000
ready, and in late fiscal 1998 the Company completed a planned upgrade to
its network operating system, and replaced certain computers and supporting
software. A management committee has been formed to monitor the project,
evaluate risks, make contact with certain business partners, and formulate
contingency plans, as deemed appropriate. At this time, management is not
aware of any issues that would have a material impact on its financial
statements.
