SHOWPOWER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 1998
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Showpower, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively,
the "Company"). The Company provides temporary power generation and temperature
control rental equipment and support services on a worldwide basis for
entertainment, corporate and special events.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). In management's opinion, these financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring charges) necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
from these statements. For this reason, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Company's Registration
Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-50595).
The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year.
The Company completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") of
1,200,000 shares of Common Stock for $11.00 per share on June 16, 1998. The
Company received net proceeds of $11,081,952, after deduction of underwriting
discounts, commissions and Offering-related expenses. On July 2, 1998 the
Company sold an additional 180,000 shares of Common Stock at $11.00 to the
underwriters of the Offering pursuant to the exercise of their over-allotment
option. The Company received additional net proceeds of $1,776,936.
S Corporation Conversion
The Offering resulted in termination of the Company's S Corporation
status. As a result, after June 16, 1998, the Company began paying income taxes
at the corporate level. The pro forma income tax provision in the consolidated
statements of operations is based upon an assumed 40% federal and state income
tax rate for the Company's U.S. operations.
Deferred Income Taxes
In connection with the conversion of the Company's S Corporation status
to C Corporation status, the Company is required by FASB No. 109 to record
deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets. Such change in tax status
resulted in a net charge to earnings of $783,906 in the second quarter of 1998,
when the conversion to C Corporation status took place. This one-time charge is
a result of differences in the accounting and tax treatment of certain of the
Company's assets and liabilities and is reflected as an increase in deferred
income tax liabilities.
Stockholder Distribution
A distribution was declared by the Board of Directors, effective June
16, 1998 and $399,998 paid to the Company's S Corporation stockholders on June
30, 1998. At such time in 1999 that the Company finally determines the 1998 S
Corporation earnings taxable to S Corporation stockholders, the Company will
distribute an additional amount, if necessary, such that total distributions to
S Corporation stockholders will aggregate approximately 48% of 1998 earnings
taxable to S Corporation stockholders.
1998 Stock Option Plan
In May, 1998, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to
employees under the 1998 Stock Option Plan for an aggregate of 479,563 shares of
common stock. Each of such options is exercisable at $11.00 per share and has a
term of 10 years. The options vest in three equal annual installments commencing
June 19, 1998.
<PAGE>
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein. Certain statements made in this report relating to trends in
the Company's operations or financial results, as well as other statements,
including words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend," and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors which would cause actual results to be materially different
from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, including the
following risks and uncertainties: the unpredictable nature of the Company's
business; the Company's dependence on entertainment and related industries; the
risks of the Company's growth strategy through acquisitions and opening new
branch offices in the U.S. and elsewhere; the Company's dependence on suppliers
of power generation equipment; the Company's dependence on key management
personnel; risks of foreign operations; and risks of competition.
The Company provides temporary power generation and temperature control
rental equipment and support services on a worldwide basis for entertainment,
corporate and special events. The Company's customers include corporations,
event producers, television networks, motion picture studios, facility operators
and performers that need electric power and/or temperature control services to
support events at locations where these services are inadequate or unavailable.
In addition to rental equipment, the Company provides fully integrated,
value-added services, including planning, technical advice, customized
installations, on-site operations and support personnel. The Company's power
equipment consists of transportable, diesel-powered electricity generators
contained in acoustic enclosures and related power distribution equipment.
Temperature control equipment consists of transportable, electrically-driven
HVAC units.
The Company experiences quarterly, seasonal and annual variations in
revenue and net income (which can be material) as a result of several factors,
including the timing and scale of concert tours, broadcast events and special
events, delays in or cancellations of customers' tours and events, the presence
or absence of triennial, quadrennial and large-scale special events, as well as
changes in the Company's revenue mix and related profitability among its various
rental services offered. Accordingly, operating results in any quarter should
not be considered indicative of results for the year or any future periods. Most
of the events serviced by the Company are held outdoors in the northern
hemisphere and typically occur during the second and third quarters of the year.
More than 85% of the Company's revenue in 1997 was denominated in U.S.
dollars. The balance of the Company's revenue was primarily denominated in
British pounds sterling, as a result of the Company's acquisition of its United
Kingdom subsidiary, Templine Ltd. ("Templine") in March, 1997. The Company
commenced recognizing results of operations in Brazil, denominated primarily in
Brazilian reals, during 1998. The Company anticipates that foreign currency
denominated revenue will become a more significant part of the Company's total
revenue as it opens additional branch offices outside of the United States.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates result in fluctuations in
reported results of operations and financial position of the Company for
business conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For transactions
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company's results of
operations are converted at average rates of exchange during the reporting
period and balance sheet amounts are translated at exchange rates at the balance
sheet date.
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1997
REVENUE. Revenue increased to $6,723,495 for the third quarter of 1998
from $5,727,436 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $996,059, or 17%.
The increase was due primarily to an increase of $1,479,058 in revenues related
to the Company's operations in the U.K., Brazil and the U.S. These increases
were offset by a decrease in revenue from concert touring and large special
events of approximately $483,000 in the third quarter of 1998 over the
corresponding period in 1997. The decrease in concert touring revenue resulted
primarily from third quarter 1997 tours with U2, KISS and Michael Jackson that
had come to an end by the third quarter of 1998. Services for a concert tour and
a special touring event, which began in the third and fourth quarters of 1997,
respectively, concluded and resulted in revenue of approximately $912,000 in the
third quarter of 1998.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $3,731,982 for the third
quarter of 1998 from $3,075,785 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$656,197, or 21%. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 56% of revenue in
the third quarter of 1998 and 54% of revenue in the third quarter of 1997.
Personnel and travel costs increased to $1,461,001 (22% of revenue) in the third
quarter of 1998 from $949,865 (17% of revenue) for the same period in 1997. The
increase in personnel and travel costs of $511,136, due primarily to increased
sales and short-term labor requirements in the U.K., accounted for 78% of the
increase in cost of sales. As a result of 1998 capital expenditures to purchase
power generation and temperature control equipment, short-term equipment rental
costs decreased $373,832 to $645,477 (10% of revenue) in the third quarter of
<PAGE>
1998 from $1,019,309 (18% of revenue) for the same period in 1997. Power
generation and temperature control equipment depreciation increased $180,027 to
$405,433 (6% of revenue) in the third quarter of 1998 from $225,406 (4% of
revenue) for the same period in 1997.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased to $2,991,513 for the third
quarter of 1998 from $2,651,651 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$339,862, or 13%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 44% of revenue in
the third quarter of 1998 and 46% of revenue in the third quarter of 1997.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expense of $1,693,510 for the third quarter of 1998 approximated
the amount for same period in 1997. As a result of overall growth in operations
and operations in Brazil which commenced in 1998, selling, general and
administrative expense increased $214,899 in the third quarter of 1998 from the
same period in 1997. The third quarter 1998 increase in selling, general and
administrative expense was offset by a reduction in accrued incentive
compensation expense, resulting primarily from planned changes in the Company's
discretionary incentive compensation program and reduction of accrued expenses.
STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE. In March 1997, the Company made restricted
stock awards of an aggregate of 128,767 shares of common stock to certain
executive officers of the Company. The shares of common stock are restricted and
subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment. Stock compensation expense
is being recognized over the three year vesting period based on the value of the
shares at the date of grant.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. As a result of the above factors, operating
income increased to $1,207,117 for the third quarter of 1998 from $871,272 for
the same period in 1997, an increase of $335,845, or 39%.
INTEREST INCOME AND (EXPENSE), NET. Net interest income increased to
$37,726 for the third quarter of 1998 from net interest expense of $37,838 for
the same period in 1997, an increase of $75,564, due primarily to interest
earnings from proceeds of the Offering offset by interest expense. Through
September 30, 1998, the Company has applied approximately $4,049,000 of the net
Offering proceeds to repayment of indebtedness.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES AND MINORITY INTEREST. As a result of the
above factors, income before income taxes and minority interest increased to
$1,244,843 for the third quarter of 1998 from $833,434 for the same period in
1997, an increase of $411,409, or 49%.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes increased to
$500,295 for the third quarter of 1998 from $30,262 for the same period in 1997,
an increase of $470,033. The provision for income taxes consists of a provision
for income taxes on earnings of foreign subsidiaries and a provision for U.S.
federal and state income tax since the date of the Offering. The Company paid no
income taxes on its U.S. operations prior to becoming a C Corporation in June
1998.
MINORITY INTEREST. Minority interest represents the 10% minority
shareholder interest in earnings of the Company's subsidiary, Showpower Brasil,
SA.
DEFERRED TAXES FROM S-CORPORATION CONVERSION. In connection with the
Offering, the Company incurred a one-time non-cash charge to earnings of
$783,906 in the second quarter of 1998 to record the net deferred income tax
liability arising from the Company's conversion from S Corporation to taxable C
Corporation status.
NET INCOME. Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $722,838 as
compared to $803,172 for the same period in 1997, a decrease in net earnings of
$80,334. Net income for the third quarter of 1998 increased from pro forma net
income of $505,735 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $217,103, or 43%.
Pro forma net income reflects provisions for federal and state income taxes as
if the Company's U.S. operations had been subject to federal and state income
taxation as a C Corporation at an assumed 40% combined federal and state income
tax rate during the periods presented.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1997
REVENUE. Revenue increased to $16,579,925 for the first nine months of
1998 from $12,423,100 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $4,156,825, or
33%. The increase was due primarily to increases in special events, including
the 1998 World Cup, the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan and a full nine months
of operations in 1998 from Templine, acquired in March, 1997. Revenue from
operations in the U.K. and Brazil accounted for approximately 34% and 13% of the
increase, respectively. The first nine months of 1998 included a special touring
event which accounted for approximately 37% of the increase.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $9,436,254 for the first nine
months of 1998 from $6,741,588 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$2,694,666, or 40%, as a result of increased sales. Cost of sales as a
percentage of revenue was 57% in the first nine months of 1998 and 54% in the
first nine months of 1997. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of
<PAGE>
revenue was due primarily to personnel, travel and subsistence costs related to
the World Cup in the second quarter of 1998 and increased short-term labor costs
in the U.K. in the third quarter of 1998. Personnel and travel costs increased
to $3,811,263 (23% of revenue) in the first nine months of 1998 from $2,287,890
(18% of revenue) for the same period in 1997. The increase in personnel, travel
and subsistence costs of $1,523,373 accounted for 57% of the increase.
As a result of 1998 capital expenditures to purchase power generation and
temperature control equipment, short-term equipment rental costs decreased to
12% of revenue for the first nine months of 1998 from 15% of revenue for the
same period in 1997.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased to $7,143,671 for the first nine
months of 1998 from $5,681,512 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$1,462,159, or 26%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 43% in the first
nine months of 1998 and 46% in the first nine months of 1997.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased to $5,156,420 for the first nine months of
1998 from $4,232,200 for the same period in 1997, an increase of $924,220, or
22%. As a result of an increase in employees required to support the growth in
operations, a full nine months operations in 1998 from Templine and newly opened
branch locations in 1998, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$1,207,011. The 1998 increase in selling, general and administrative expense was
offset by a reduction in accrued incentive compensation expense, resulting
primarily from planned changes in the Company's discretionary incentive
compensation program. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to
31% of revenue for the first nine months of 1998 from 34% of revenue for the
corresponding period in 1997, principally as a result of increased revenue.
STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE. During 1997, the Company made restricted
stock awards of an aggregate of 128,767 shares of Common Stock to certain
executive officers of the Company. The shares of Common Stock are restricted and
subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment. Stock compensation expense
resulting from the restricted stock awards made in March 1997 was first
recognized in the second quarter of 1997, resulting in the increase of $35,579
in the first nine months of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. As a result of the foregoing, operating income
increased to $1,704,568 in the first nine months of 1998 from $1,214,692 for the
same period in 1997, an increase of $489,876, or 40%.
INTEREST INCOME AND (EXPENSE), NET. Net interest expense increased to
$210,541 for the first nine months of 1998 from $123,432 for the same period in
1997, an increase of $87,109, due primarily to increased borrowings in the first
six months of 1998, offset by interest earnings from proceeds of the Offering.
Through September 30, 1998, the Company has applied approximately $4,049,000 of
the net proceeds of the Offering to repayment of indebtedness.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES AND MINORITY INTEREST. As a result of the
above factors, income before income taxes and minority interest increased to
$1,494,027 for the third quarter of 1998 from $1,091,260 for the same period in
1997, an increase of $402,767, or 37%.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes increased to
$570,159 for the first nine months of 1998 from $22,388 for the same period in
1997. The provision for income taxes consists of a provision for income taxes on
earnings of foreign subsidiaries and a provision for U.S. federal and state
income tax since the date of the Offering. The Company paid no income taxes on
its U.S. operations prior to becoming a C Corporation in June 1998.
DEFERRED TAXES FROM S-CORPORATION CONVERSION. In connection with the
Offering, the Company incurred a one-time non-cash charge to earnings of
$783,906 in the second quarter of 1998 to record the net deferred income tax
liability arising from the Company's conversion from S Corporation to taxable C
Corporation status.
NET INCOME. Net income for the first nine months of 1998 was $118,252
as compared to net income of $1,068,872 for the same period in 1997, a decrease
of $950,620, due primarily to tax charges arising from the Company's conversion
to C Corporation status. On a pro forma basis, net income for the first nine
months of 1998 and 1997 was $851,792 and $653,700, respectively, an increase of
$198,092, or 30%. Pro forma net income reflects provisions for federal and state
income taxes as if the Company's U.S. operations had been subject to federal and
state income taxation as a C Corporation at an assumed 40% combined federal and
state income tax rate during the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Following the application of the net proceeds from the Offering,
working capital increased to $5,457,129 at September 30, 1998 from a working
capital deficit of $1,607,450 at December 31, 1997, an increase of $7,064,579.
The Company currently has two asset-based financing commitments
totaling $6,500,000. All outstanding borrowings under a commitment with
Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation ("CAT Financial") in the amount of
$3,199,001 were repaid with proceeds of the Offering. The entire amount of the
commitment of $3,500,000 was available at September 30, 1998. The other
financing commitment with Charter Financial, Inc. ("Charter") bears interest at
a rate determined by the lender at the funding date, with monthly principal and
interest payments payable over a four-year term, with 20% of the principal
amount due in 2002, the end of the term. Prepayment prior to maturity may be
made at an amount equal to the sum of future principal and interest payments,
discounted at an annual rate of 6%. At September 30, 1998, borrowings of
$2,068,522 from Charter were outstanding and the Company had additional
availability of approximately $313,000. The borrowings are secured by power
generation and temperature control equipment.
The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit facility from a bank (the
"Facility"). Under the Facility, availability of funds in excess of $750,000 is
subject to an accounts receivable borrowing base formula and interest is payable
monthly at the lender's prime rate (8.0% at June 30, 1998) plus .75%, or, at the
Company's option, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus 2.75%. The
line of credit term is through May 1, 1999. The Company has a commitment for a
$7,000,000 line of credit facility which will replace the Facility (the "New
Facility"). Interest under the New Facility will be payable monthly at the
lender's prime rate, or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 2.125%. The New
Facility will have a two year term and contains an option to convert $3,000,000
of borrowings to four year term loans bearing interest at the lender's prime
rate plus 0.25%, or, at the Company's option, LIBOR plus 2.25%. Both the New
Facility and existing Facility include customary negative covenants such as
restriction on the Company's ability to incur debt, make acquisitions, pay
dividends, make investments or sell assets, as well as financial covenants
regarding the Company's tangible net worth, ratio of cash and accounts
receivable to current liabilities, ratio of liabilities to tangible net worth
and cash flow to fixed charges ratio. The Company's U.K. subsidiary, Templine,
also has a line of credit with a bank in the amount of 85,000 British pounds
sterling bearing interest based on the bank's reference rate with a term through
January 31, 1999. The Company repaid bank borrowings of $850,000 with a portion
of the net proceeds of the Offering. At September 30, 1998, no amounts were
outstanding under any of the above credit lines.
Capital expenditures (including assets acquired through capital lease
and note payable financing) were $6,766,215 and $1,220,482 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, consisting primarily of power
generation, distribution and temperature control equipment.
The Company intends to use a total of approximately $7,000,000 of the
net proceeds of the Offering and exercise of the over-allotment option to
acquire or construct power generation and temperature control equipment. Through
September 30, 1998, the Company has applied approximately $3.0 million of the
proceeds to equipment purchases or construction and at September 30, 1998 has
commitments for approximately $2.5 million in additional equipment purchases.
The Company intends to finance the opening of new branch offices and possible
future acquisitions with internally generated funds, future issuance of Common
Stock or preferred stock, and additional borrowings, if available.
Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 1998
and 1997 totaled $353,485 and $2,008,660, respectively. The decrease of
$1,655,175 in cash flow from operations resulted primarily from an increase in
accounts receivable and decrease in customer deposits. These decreases in cash
from operating activities are primarily due to increased total revenues, the
decrease in concert touring revenues, as well as the conclusion of a concert
tour and a special touring event in the third quarter of 1998.
Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 1998 and
1997 totaled $3,970,079 and $3,338,091, respectively. The increase of $631,988
resulted primarily from increased capital expenditures in 1998 from application
of the Offering proceeds, offset by the effect of the Templine acquisition in
1997.
Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 1998
and 1997 totaled $8,682,317 and $1,938,384, respectively. The Company completed
the Offering of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock for $11.00 per share on June
16, 1998. On July 2, 1998 the Company sold 180,000 additional shares of Common
Stock at $11.00 to the underwriters of the Offering pursuant to the exercise of
their over-allotment option. The net proceeds from the sale of shares totaled
$12,858,888, after deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions and
offering-related expenses. In 1997, the Company issued 754,000 shares of Common
Stock for cash of $2,042,730.
The Company believes that cash flows from operations, the net proceeds
of the Offering and available credit facilities are sufficient to meet operating
needs and capital spending requirements and reasonably foreseeable expansion for
at least the next 12 months.

Year 2000 Compliance
Many information technology ("IT") hardware and software systems ("IT
Systems") and non-IT systems containing embedded technology, such as
microcontollers and microchip processors ( "Non-IT Systems") can only process
dates with six digits (e.g., 06/26/98), instead of eight digits (e.g.,
06/26/1998)). This limitation may cause IT Systems and Non-IT Systems to
experience problems processing information with dates after December 31, 1999
(e.g., 01/01/00 could be processed as 01/01/2000 or 01/01/1900) or with other
dates, such as September 9, 1999, which was traditionally used as a default date
by computer programmers. These problems may cause IT Systems and Non-IT Systems
to suffer miscalculations, malfunctions, or disruptions. These problems are
commonly referred to as "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problems.
Computer software applications on which the Company relies for
accounting, management and operating information are recent releases of, or are
readily upgraded to, Year 2000 compliant, commercially available applications.
The Company is continuing its Year 2000 assessment as it relates to Non-IT
Systems and third parties with whom it has a material relationship. While the
Company has no present assurance that all of its Non-IT Systems, vendors and
service providers are Year 2000 compliant, management believes the potential
risk and any associated cost resulting from the Year 2000 problem will not be
material to the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
