THE COMMITTEE TO REVITALIZE DOMINION BRIDGE CORPORATION ANNOUNCED ON JULY 2
UPON SHAREHOLDERS APPROVING THE COMMITTEE'S PROXY PROPOSALS, AND THE
COMMITTEE ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE Management of Dominion
Bridge, Dominion Bridge Would:
I. Acquire FirstKey Technologies of Toronto ("FKT")
II. Acquire the Remaining Minority Interest Outstanding of McConnell
Dowell, its Australian Subsidiary
III. Issue Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) to Each Current Shareholder
The summary of forecast financial results resulting from these strategic actions
are summarized herein. The Shareholders Meeting at The Harvard Club in New York
on July 16 is intended to introduce shareholders to the management of FirstKey
Technologies and several additional members of the new Dominion Bridge Executive
team.
The business summaries presented herein are the Committee's best estimates of
results and are presented in 4 scenarios.
(1) The Committee's business plan for revitalizing Dominion
Bridge only.
(2) The resulting business plan from the acquisition of
FirstKey Technologies.
(3) The business plan effect of acquiring the remaining
minority interests of MCD but excludes the FKT
acquisition.
(4) The business plan resulting from the combination of all
three steps.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON THE 16TH AT THE HARVARD CLUB AT 3 PM (44
WEST 44TH STREET)
In the meantime, it is essential that the consent solicitation continue at a
fast pace. The Company's Board of Directors is only willing to listen to Mr.
Marengere and Mr. Matossian.
The Board is ignoring the increasing serious liquidity crisis in its North
American and continues to spend money at its own whim. The sooner new
executive management is able to commence revitalizing Dominion Bridge, the
better opportunity we have to begin share price recovery.
<PAGE>
ASSUMPTIONS TO THE FORECAST
FY 1996:
As Reported by the Company
FY 1997:
1. The Committee will be unable to affect the Company operations for
the fiscal year ending September 30.
2. Fiscal year end contains $7.5 million charge projected by the
Committee for write down of assets to recoverable amounts.
3. The rate of operational profit and loss in divisions incurred during
the first 2 quarters is expected to continue for the remainder of its fiscal
year.
4. An additional Company cost of $1 million to fight The Committee's
proxy proposal is projected in addition to 3 above.
5. The Company is assumed to be in a liquidity crises, without adequate
cash resources in North America. This Company, based on independent third-party
obtained credit reports, was recently made COD with its major suppliers
including its steel. Further, its North American accounts payable ("A/P")
average in excess of 90 days. The non-current portions of A/P represent in
excess of US $10 - $15 million. The Committee believes, that this lack of cash
and hence suppliers is a major reason for the Company's decreasing gross profit
margins.
FY 1998
1. Scenario 1 is Dominion Bridge managed by the personnel of the
Committee without any acquisitions.
(A) The Company will need to raise $25 million for working capital in
North America, which will be secured by the Company's North American physical
and working capital assets. Additional financing could also be obtained against
its MDC stock holdings.
(B) The availability of working capital will permit the Company to
obtain new contracts it cannot currently execute due to lack of working capital
to finance contracts. Further, we expect suppliers to be willing to again
contract with the Company, which should result in more advantageous supplier
prices to the Company. Total revenues for DBI, SB and Davie are assumed to
increase 12% and 54% in 1998 and 1999 respectively. In 1999, the Davie
subsidiary is assumed to begin work on one of the three floating platforms
sought by the Company. The Company has announced it is expecting the Davie
contract for work as early as 1998. For DBI and SB it reflects management's
comments as to negative effect of lack of working capital.
(C) As a result of liquidity, additional suppliers and better
commercial terms, resulting in better supplier prices, new contracts yielding
higher sales and new cost controls, the Committee expects North American gross
profit margins will improve to 10.6% and 11.5% in 1998 and 1999. This compares
to gross margins of 15.6% and 12.6% in 1994 and 1995 respectively. EBITDA
margins are expected to improve to 5.7% as compared to 3.5% and 3.8% in 1994 and
1995.
2. Scenario 2 includes the acquisition of FirstKey Project Technology.
(A) The same assumptions for the Company as in Scenario 1 are assumed.
(B) FirstKey's currently signed contracts and contracts under
negotiation are forecast in FY98 to generate revenues of $150 million and $275
million in FY99. FirstKey's existing signed contracts, presently C$130 million
would generate these estimates for 1998 and a portion of 1999.
(C) FirstKey is a full service contractor specializing in turnkey
projects. Much of the actual work is subcontracted and by utilizing DBI and SB
for subcontracts, the Committee is forecasting increased revenues at Steen
Becker and Dominion Bridge Inc. in FY 98 and FY 99. For 1998 and 1999, FirstKey
would generate increased revenues at DBI and SB in total of $50 million and $125
million respectively, including fabrication work at Lachine.
3. Scenario 3 is same as Scenario 1 above but includes the acquisition of
MDC minority interests financed with borrowings.
The $4.8 and $3.9 million of interest expenses forecasted in 1998 and
1999 respectively are from the approximately $55 million of borrowings to
finance the minority interests acquisition.
4. Dominion Bridge under Committee management and includes acquisition of
FirstKey and minority interests of MDC.
The Scenarios in 1, 2 and 3 above are combined.
FY 1999
Results of operations in second year under the Scenarios 1, 2, 3 and 4
described above.
