GREENSTONE ROBERTS ADVERTISING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It
is therefore suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1995.
2. These statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
accruals which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations and
cash flows for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995.
3. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of annual earnings.
4. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
5. Net income per common share for the three and six month periods have
been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and common stock equivalents outstanding, 8,369,419 for the six month period
ended April 30, 1996 and 9,536,318 for the six month period ended April 30,
1995.
6. Billable production orders in process are net of advance billings to
clients, which were $143,682 at April 30, 1996, and $309,999 at October 31,
1995.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AS
COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1995.
Consolidated commission and fee revenue decreased $89,564 or 4% from $2,510,244
for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 to $2,420,680 for the quarter ended April
30, 1996. The revenue decrease is attributable to the decrease in activity from
existing clients which approximated 7%. This was partially offset by the non
recurring favorable settlement during the quarter with respect to certain
liabilities which approximated 3%.
Salaries and related costs decreased 3%, from $1,733,939 for the quarter ended
April 30, 1995 to $1,676,179 for the quarter ended April 30, 1996. The decrease
is the result of a reduction in staffing in response to decreased activity,
partially offset by additional staff to support new accounts, and normal salary
increases. Salaries and related costs as a percent of revenues remained at 69%
for the comparative periods.
Other operating expenses decreased 17% as management continues its efforts to
control costs in various operating areas.
Interest income, net, decreased $12,063 due primarily to the use of funds to
repurchase 2,061,900 shares of the Company's common stock.
Income/(loss) before provision/(benefit) for income taxes increased $86,375 from
an income of $25,142 for the quarter ended April 30, 1995 to an income of
$111,517 for the quarter ended April 30, 1996. The increase is the result of
management efforts to reduce and control costs as discussed above, partially
offset by the decrease in revenue.
The effective tax rate for the tax provision of $96,869 is 87% This is primarily
the result of certain expenses that are permanently non-deductible for income
tax purposes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AS COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995.
Consolidated commission and fee revenue decreased $174,822 or 4% from $4,822,353
for the six months ended April 30, 1995 to $4,647,531 for the six months ended
April 30, 1996. The revenue decrease is attributable to the decrease in activity
from existing clients, partially offset by the non recurring favorable
settlement with respect to certain liabilities as discussed above.
Salaries and related costs decreased 5% from $3,437,091 for the six months ended
April 30, 1995 to $3,268,490 for the six months ended April 30, 1996. The
decrease is the result of a reduction in staffing in response to the decreased
activity during the year, partially offset by additional staff to support new
accounts, and normal salary increases. Salaries and related costs as a percent
of revenues decreased from 71% for the six months ended April 30, 1995 to 70% at
April 30, 1996 mainly as a result of decreased staffing for the six months.
Other operating expenses decreased 8%, mainly as a result of management's
continuing efforts to control costs in various operating areas.
Interest income, net, decreased $11,476 due primarily to the use of funds to
repurchase 2,061,900 shares of the Company's common stock.
Income/(loss) before provision/(benefit) for income taxes increased $110,238
from a loss of $82,569 for the six months ended April 30, 1995, to income of
$27,669 for the six months ended April 30, 1996. The increase is the result of
management's efforts to reduce and control costs, partially offset by the
decreases in revenue.
The effective tax rate for the tax provision of $25,179 is 91% This is primarily
the result of certain expenses that are permanently non-deductible for income
tax purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital decreased by $982,441 to $3,105,573 at April 30,
1996 as compared to $4,088,014 at October 31, 1995.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,311,391 from $3,184,620 at October 31,
1995 to $873,229 at April 30, 1996. The cash and cash equivalents balance
decrease was the result of the timing of payments on accounts payable, purchases
of capital assets, and the repurchase of the Company's own capital stock,
partially offset by the timing of receipts on accounts receivable and the
maturity of short-term investments in U.S. Treasury Bills.
It should be noted that the Company recognizes commissions as a percentage of
expenditures incurred for clients. Therefore, the accounts receivable balance
does not relate only to the commissions and fees shown on the income statement,
but also represents receivables for the total of the production costs and media
purchased for clients. Similarly, the accounts payable balance includes payables
for production costs and media incurred on behalf of clients.
The Company has available an unused committed line of credit from a bank of
$5,000,000 at April 30, 1996. Management believes that its current working
capital levels and funds provided by profitable operations will be sufficient to
meet the Company's liquidity and working capital requirements for the
foreseeable future. The Company does not anticipate any material increases of
capital expenditures or other requirements which will adversely affect its
liquidity.
