Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and the related disclosures included elsewhere in this
report. For further information, please refer to Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included as part of
our final prospectus filed with the SEC on April 20, 2000, SEC Registration No.
333-79285.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time, in this report and in other written reports and oral
statements we make, we will refer to expectations about our future performance.
The words "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "estimated," "intends," "expects,"
"projects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words.
Our forward-looking statements, include but are not limited to our statements
about:
- business strategy and competitive challenges;
- growth strategy;
- productivity and profitability enhancement plans;
- new product service introductions; and
- liquidity and capital resources.
Our statements are based on information currently known to our management and on
our management's beliefs and assumptions. They involve various risks and
uncertainties, some beyond our control, including the risks and uncertainties
identified in the "Risk Factors" section of our final prospectus filed with the
SEC on April 20, 2000, SEC Registration No. 333-79285. We encourage you to
review the "Risk Factors" section for a discussion of some of these risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed
in our forward-looking statements for any of these reasons or for other reasons
that we do not foresee.
We have undertaken no obligation to publicly update or revise our
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
OVERVIEW
History
Rockford is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of high performance mobile
audio systems under the "Rockford Fosgate" and "Lightning Audio" brand names for
the worldwide mobile audio aftermarket. Rockford also sells professional audio
and home theater products under the "Hafler" brand name.
Rockford has manufacturing facilities in Tempe, Arizona and Grand Rapids,
Michigan; warehousing operations in Singapore; and sales and warehousing
operations in Japan and Germany.
Business
We generated over 98% of our sales through the second quarter of 2000 from our
mobile audio products. We recognize revenues from sales when we ship products to
the distributor or dealer. Sales are reported net of discounts and returns.
Related expenses, such as commissions, bonuses, cooperative advertising
allowances to dealers and other program expenses, warranty expenses and bad debt
expenses, are accrued when the related sales are recognized. We have no other
significant obligations subsequent to shipment, as we
8
<PAGE> 9
do not install our products.
In the U.S., we sell our mobile audio products using commissioned independent
sales representative firms who are supported by our employee regional managers.
Internationally, we sell products in over 60 countries. In Japan, we sell
through a wholly owned subsidiary. In Canada and Germany (since 1999), and
Austria (beginning in early 2000) we sell through commissioned independent sales
representatives. In other countries, we have established relationships with
independent distributors who purchase our products and resell them to retailers.
In March 1999, we began selling through Best Buy. Including its $4.4 million
initial purchase of our products to stock its distribution channel, Best Buy
accounted for 22.8% of our sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Best
Buy sales accounted for 15.8% of our sales for the six months ended June 30,
2000. Our growth plan contemplates that Best Buy will continue to account for a
significant portion of our sales for the foreseeable future.
In June 1999, we acquired Lightning Audio, a manufacturer and distributor of
mobile audio accessories. In January 2000, at the Consumer Electronics Show, we
introduced a new line of amplifiers and subwoofers under the Lightning Audio
brand. We began shipping these new products to our dealers at the end of the
first quarter of 2000. In February, at the National Association of Music
Merchants Show (NAMM), we introduced our new line of C Series amplifiers, which
began shipping under the Hafler brand name at the end of first quarter 2000.
During the second quarter of 2000 we began shipping several new products and
technologies, including a new Dolby Surround Pro-Logic II processor, new MP3
changers and our newest digital amplifier. Although these products do not
represent a significant percentage of total sales, demand has exceeded our
expectations and we believe they will help maintain Rockford's position as a
technological leader in the industry.

</TABLE>
(1) Sales are attributed to geographic regions based on the location of
customers. No single foreign country accounted for greater than 10% of our
sales.
In the following discussion, certain increases or decreases may differ due to
rounding.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Net Sales. Sales increased by $13.8 million, or 20.9%, to $79.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 from $65.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to growth in our
mobile audio specialty dealer sales and the acquisition of Lightning Audio. Best
Buy accounted for $12.6 million or 15.8% of our sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to $15.0 million or 22.8% of our sales for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, which included a $4.4 million initial purchase of
our products to stock its distribution channel. In addition, sales to mobile
audio specialty dealers increased by $9.3 million, or 22.0%, to $51.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $42.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The increase in sales to mobile audio specialty dealers was
primarily due to increases in our core business of mobile audio products and new
product sales from the acquisition of Lightning Audio. U.S. sales increased by
$10.6 million, or 18.9%, to $66.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
from $56.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. International sales
increased by $3.2 million, or 33.0%, to $12.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. An
increase in sales in Asia and the Americas, as a result of improving economic
conditions, was offset by slightly decreased sales in Europe.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $8.5 million, or 21.1%, to
$48.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $40.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. Substantially all of the increase was due to
increased sales. As a percent of sales, cost of goods sold increased slightly to
61.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 61.0% for the six months ended
June 30,1999.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. Sales, general and administrative
expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 16.7%, to $21.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase primarily was related to an increase in sales commissions and
freight expenses due to the increase in sales, the Lightning Audio acquisition
in June 1999 and additional engineers hired in preparation for the development
of new products. As a percent of sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 27.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 28.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 because some of the expenses in this category are
fixed and do not fluctuate with sales.
Operating Income. Operating income increased by $2.2 million, or 31.0%, to $9.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $7.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase primarily was attributable to our
increased sales and relatively stable fixed costs. As a percent of sales,
operating income increased to 11.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from
10.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The primary reason for this
increase was the net effect of the component changes mentioned above.
Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net primarily
consists of interest expense. Interest and other expense, net
10
<PAGE> 11
decreased by $0.1 million, or 12.5%, to $0.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Interest
expense was reduced due to the payoff of the bank credit facility in April 2000
after our initial public offering. The interest expense remaining after our
initial public offering consists primarily of interest paid on existing capital
leases.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by $0.8 million to $3.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $2.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The effective income tax rates were 37.7% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 38.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
primary reason for this decrease was a permanent lowering of state income tax
rates.
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Net Sales. Sales increased by $11.0 million, or 32.2%, to $45.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 from $34.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to growth in our
mobile audio specialty dealer sales and the acquisition of Lightning Audio. Best
Buy accounted for $6.3 million, or 13.9% of our sales, for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to $6.6 million, or 19.3% of our sales, for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. In addition, sales to mobile audio specialty
dealers increased by $6.6 million, or 28.8%, to $29.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $22.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. The increase in sales to mobile audio specialty dealers was primarily
due to increases in our core business of mobile audio products and new product
sales from the acquisition of Lightning Audio.
U.S. sales increased by $8.3 million, or 28.7%, to $37.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $28.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. International sales increased by $2.7 million, or 51.9%, to $7.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $5.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. An increase in sales in Asia and the Americas, as a
result of improving economic conditions, was offset by slightly decreased sales
in Europe.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $6.9 million, or 33.3%, to
$27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $20.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. Substantially all of the increase was due
to increased sales. As a percent of sales, cost of goods sold increased to 61.1%
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 60.5% for the three months ended
June 30,1999. The primary reasons for the increase as a percent of sales was a
slight shift towards lower margin products.
Sales, General and Administrative Expenses. Sales, general and administrative
expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 21.6%, to $11.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. The increase primarily was related to an increase in sales commissions and
freight expenses due to the increase in sales, the Lightning Audio acquisition
in June 1999 and additional engineers hired in preparation for the development
of new products. As a percent of sales, sales, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 26.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 28.5%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 because some of the expenses in this
category are fixed and do not fluctuate with sales.
Operating Income. Operating income increased by $2.0 million, or 54.1%, to $5.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $3.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase primarily was attributable to our
increased sales and relatively stable fixed costs. As a percent of sales,
operating income increased to 12.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from 11.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The primary reason for this
increase was the net effect of the component changes mentioned above.
Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net primarily
consists of interest expense. Interest and other expense, net decreased by $0.1
million, or 25.0%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Interest expense was
reduced due to the payoff of the bank credit facility in April 2000 using the
proceeds of our initial public offering. The interest expense remaining after
our initial public offering consists primarily of interest paid on existing
capital leases.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by $0.7 million to $2.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $1.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. The effective income tax rates were 37.4% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 39.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The primary reason for this decrease was a permanent lowering of state income
tax rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since 1995, we have financed our business primarily using cash flows from
operations, bank borrowings and borrowings from shareholders. In the second
quarter of 2000 we added the proceeds of our initial public offering to this
financing. We had working capital of $34.3 million at June 30, 2000 compared to
$21.2 million at December 31, 1999. At June 30, 2000, we maintained $7.0 million
of cash and cash equivalent balances.
As of June 30, 2000, we had a $0.2 million balance on our $20.0 million bank
credit facility, which is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and
consists of a revolving line-of-credit, a term loan and an equipment financing
arrangement. We paid off this bank credit facility during April 2000 using the
proceeds from our initial public offering. We subsequently incurred the amounts
outstanding under the bank credit facility, of approximately $0.2 million due
to funding for certain letters of credit. The revolving line-of-credit has a
blended variable interest rate per annum of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or
prime plus 75 basis points. The term loan has a fixed interest rate of 10.67%
per annum. The equipment financing arrangement has, at our option three days
prior to the time used, a fixed interest rate per annum based on five-year U.S.
Treasury notes plus 425 basis points or a variable interest rate per annum
based on the bank's base rate plus 125 basis points. To date, we have not used
this equipment financing arrangement. As of June 30, 2000, the bank credit
facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 10.25% per annum. The bank
credit facility is scheduled to mature on June 19, 2001. It requires that
we:
- have $8.0 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, computed monthly on a rolling 12 month basis;
- maintain debt service coverage of 1.0 to 1 for total debt and 1.3
to 1 for senior debt;
- incur no more than $2.0 million of indebtedness per year outside
our existing credit arrangements; and
- make capital expenditures of no more than $3.0 million per year,
except that we may also make an aggregate $2.0 million of capital
expenditures in excess of this limit using off-balance sheet
financing.
We also have a $5.0 million capital lease credit facility under which leases can
be funded until April 12, 2001, at which time the availability to enter into
additional leases expires. We use the capital lease credit facility for the
purchase of capital equipment under agreements structured as three-year capital
lease obligations. As of June 30, 2000, the capital lease credit facility had an
outstanding balance of $1.1 million with a weighted average interest rate of
8.12% per annum.
As of March 31, 2000, we also had $976,000 of 8.5% convertible subordinated
debentures outstanding, which were due to mature in May 2002. Of this amount:
- $277,417 of debentures were converted into 113,609 shares of
common stock upon completion of our initial public offering on
April 20, 2000; and
- The remaining $698,247 of debentures were outstanding at June 30,
2000, but were scheduled to be redeemed on July 10, 2000, pursuant
to a redemption notice we sent to the holders on June 5, 2000. We
had the right to give 30 days notice of redemption after our
common stock had traded for 30 consecutive trading days at a price
above $3.66 per share. This condition was satisfied on June 2,
2000. The debenture holders were permitted to convert the debt to
common stock at any time prior to their redemption date at the
conversion price of $2.44 per share. On July 10, 2000, all
remaining holders of the debentures converted the debentures into
stock before they were redeemed. Consequently, the debentures were
no longer outstanding after July 10, 2000, and we did not make any
cash payments to redeem them.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was ($0.1) million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and $1.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Cash provided by operating activities is less than net income due to
the effect of increasing working capital requirements created by the growth in
our sales, especially in our accounts receivable. The increased working capital
is partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization.
Net cash used in investing activities was ($2.0) million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and ($2.6) million for the six months
12
<PAGE> 13
ended June 30, 1999. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily related
to purchases of property and equipment. However, in 1999, net cash used in
investing activities also included $1.6 million used for the acquisition of
Lighting Audio.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Net
cash provided by financing activities for 2000 was primarily a result of the net
proceeds received from our April 20, 2000 initial public offering of $24.5
million offset by the repayment of our credit facility and other debt
obligations. For 1999, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily
due to borrowings and repayments of our credit facilities and other debt
obligations.
We may pursue acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that could
complement or expand our business and product offerings. Any material
acquisition could result in an increase in working capital requirements
depending on the amount, timing and nature of the consideration we agree to pay.
We believe that the net proceeds received by us from our April 20, 2000 initial
public offering, together with our existing resources and anticipated cash flows
from operations, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for the next twelve
months.
TRANSITION TO THE YEAR 2000
We did not experience any interruption to our business as a result of the
transition to January 1, 2000, and we are not aware of any Year 2000 related
problems associated with our internal systems or software, or with the software
and systems of our vendors or distributors. We intend to maintain efforts
relating to internal Year 2000 compliance, however, we do not anticipate any
significant future costs with respect to this issue.

Part II. Other Information
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.
(a)-(c) Not applicable.
(d) On April 19, 2000, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-79285) was declared effective by the SEC. Pursuant to that
Registration Statement, we offered 2,500,000 shares at $11.00 per
share. The managing underwriters of the offering were Dain
Rauscher Wessels, McDonald Investments Inc., and Needham &
Company, Inc. The underwriters also elected to exercise an
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 42,500 shares.
Including the proceeds from the over-allotment purchase, the net
proceeds to us from the offering, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable
by us, were approximately $24.3 million. Pending use of the net
proceeds as described below, we have invested them in short-term,
interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.
We used approximately $19.5 million to fully repay the outstanding
balance of our credit facility, which consisted of a revolving
line-of-credit and a term loan. We did not use the equipment
financing component of our credit facility so none of the proceeds
were used to repay that portion of our credit facility. The
revolving line-of-credit had a blended variable interest rate per
annum of LIBOR plus 300 basis points or prime plus 75 basis
points. The term loan had a fixed annual interest rate of 10.67%.
We plan to use the remaining $4.8 million of proceeds from our
initial public offering for working capital and other corporate
purposes, including new product development, and marketing
expansion. We may also use a portion of the remaining proceeds to
acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products or
technologies; however, we have not at this time identified a
specific acquisition or allocated a specific amount for this
purpose.
