AID AUTO STORES, INC.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General:
Aid Auto Stores, Inc. (the "Company"), formed in 1953, is a
franchisor, retailer and wholesaler of automotive parts and
accessories. As of June 30, 1996, the Company supplied products to 59
Aid Auto Stores, including 41 franchised stores and 18 Company-owned
stores, and, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ames Automotive
Warehouse, Inc. ("Ames"), to hundreds of non-automotive chain stores
and independent jobbers and installers in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. The Aid Auto stores sell an extensive variety of name-brand
automotive parts, accessories and chemicals, as well as an assortment of
products marketed under the "Aid" and "Perfect Choice" brands to both
do-it-yourself ("DIY") and commercial customers. In 1994, in
anticipation of commencing its Company-owned mini-warehouse Superstore
growth strategy, the Company curtailed the granting of new franchises,
so as to preserve favorable locations for Company-owned Superstores.
In April 1995, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering,
the net proceeds of which were approximately $7,300,000. As of June
30, 1996, the Company had opened four new Superstores and had acquired
(in December, 1995) ten franchised Aid Auto Stores located in Long
Island, New York, of which it currently intends to convert nine to
Superstores. The Company currently anticipates the opening of up to
48 to 60 Superstores in the five-year period following the April 1995
Initial Public Offering. The number of stores to be opened during
this period is subject to substantial variation depending upon, among
other factors, the availability of adequate financing to fund the cost
of adding the additional stores, the level of success of the initial
Superstores, the availability of suitable store sites or acquisition
candidates, and the timely development and construction of new stores.
The anticipated favorable financial performance of the Company is tied,
to a large extent, to the transition of the Company to the Superstore
program and the strong future potential of that program. The
Company's operating expenses have increased significantly, and are
expected to continue to increase, in connection with the Superstore
growth program. Accordingly, the Company's future profitability will
depend upon corresponding increases in revenue from Superstore
operations, of which there can be no assurance.
On July 22, 1995, the Company held the Grand Opening of its first new
Company-owned Superstore. The store is located in Long Island City,
in the New York City Borough of Queens. As of June 30, 1996, the
Company opened Superstore locations on main thoroughfares in Brooklyn
and Queens, New York and in a major shopping mall in Staten Island,
New York.
The Company has also sought to grow its operations by means of acquiring
other companies, including Aid franchisees, having parts and
accessories retail stores. On December 15, 1995, the Company acquired
ten franchised Aid Auto stores located in Long Island, New York.
Following the acquisition, the Company commenced converting up to nine
of the ten stores into Aid Auto Superstores.
Results of Operations:
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995.
The Company's operating revenues are primarily derived from net sales
consisting of both retail and wholesale sales. Retail sales are made
from the Company-owned Aid Auto Stores of which 18 existed at June 30,
1996 and four existed at June 30, 1995. Wholesale sales include sales
to the Company's franchised Aid Auto Stores, of which 41 existed at
June 30, 1996 and 69 existed at June 30, 1995, and through Ames, to
hundred of other customers. Revenues increased by $3,985,000 or 41.4%
from $9,625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $13,610,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and by $1,498,000 or 27.0% from
$5,538,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $7,036,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in revenues in
1996 was primarily due to the increase of $6,538,000 and $3,821,000 in
sales from Company-owned stores from $1,240,000 to $ 7,778,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and $ 555,000
to $ 4,376,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. Subsequent to the second quarter of 1995, the Company
acquired ten franchised Aid Auto Stores located in Long Island, New
York, and opened four new Superstores. In addition, the seasonal cold
and wet winter of 1995-1996 resulted in the increase in the sale of
certain items (e.g. anti-freeze and other winter chemicals) and an
increased need for other winter maintenance items (especially when
compared to the exceptionally mild, auto-friendly winter weather in
1994-1995 which resulted in a decrease in the sale of winter items).
Revenue increases were offset in part by a decrease in sales to
franchisees, reflecting the Company's decision consistent with its
Superstore growth strategy to generally not grant new franchises
(which results in a loss of sales to new franchisees). Furthermore, an
additional seven franchised stores were terminated in the first half
of 1996.
Cost of sales increased by $1,278,000 or 18.8%, and $117,000 or 2.9%,
from $6,815,000 to $8,093,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995
and 1996, respectively, and from $3,966,000 to $4,083,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increase
in cost of sales in absolute dollars was attributable to the increased
volume of sales in 1996. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales
declined from 71.8% and 72.5% for the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1995, respectively, to 59.9% and 58.4% for the
comparable periods in 1996, reflecting the significantly higher
margins on retail sales from the new Superstores (as compared to lower
margin on wholesale sales).
Selling and shipping expenses increased by $1,469,000 or 108.9% from
$1,349,000 or 14.2% of net sales for the six months ended June 30,
1995 to $2,818,000 or 20.9% of net sales for the six months ended June
30, 1996. Selling and shipping expenses increased by $399,000 or 54.5%
from $732,000 or 13.4% of net sales for the second quarter of 1995 to
$1,131,000 or 16.2% of net sales for the second quarter of 1996. The
increase as an absolute amount and as a percentage of net sales for
the three and six month periods was due primarily to a substantial
increase of selling expense, reflecting a greater Company
infrastructure and a significant increase in the Company's retail
operations. Selling expense is higher for a retail operation than for
a wholesale operation, reflecting the nature of these operations. As a
result of the Company's strong efforts to control costs, the shipping
expense dollars remained essentially constant despite the large
increase in sales volume.
General and administrative expenses increased by $892,000 or 61.0%, from
$1,462,000 or 15.4% of net sales for the six months ended June 30,
1995 to $2,354,000 or 17.4% of net sales for the six months ended June
30, 1996. General and administrative expenses increased by $886,000 or
113.0% from $786,000 or 14.4% of net sales for the second quarter of
1995 to $ 1,672,000 or 23.9% of net sales for the second quarter of
1996. The increase as an absolute amount and as a percentage of net
sales for the three and six month periods was due to the additional
infrastructure needed in connection with the increased volume of
business for the additional Company-owned stores.
Interest expense increased $39,000, from $357,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 to $396,000 for the comparable period of 1996.
Interest expense increased $38,000 from $162,000 for the second
quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $200,000 for the second quarter ended
June 30, 1996. This nominal increase was due to increased borrowings
from the Company's bank as well as interest incurred in connection
with the acquisition of the ten stores.
The increase in income from operations and net income for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to comparable
periods in 1995 is a result of the above aforementioned factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company had working capital of $5,803,000 at June 30, 1996, as
compared to $6,553,000 at December 31, 1995, reflecting the decrease
in the accounts receivable-trade associated with the Aid Auto
franchisees as the Company changes its operations to a retail from a
wholesale environment. Through June 30, 1996, the Company had financed
its capital requirements predominantly through a bank loan and credit
facility, currently with Israel Discount Bank of New York (the
"Bank"), through loans from one of its officers, and through the
Company's Initial Public Offering, the net proceeds of which were
approximately $7,300,000.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,513,000 for the first six
months of 1995 and $1,399,000 for the first six months of 1996. The
decrease in 1996 was attributable primarily to increases in
inventories, as a result of the increase in the number of retail
stores, and decreases in accounts payable, offset by decreases in
accounts receivable, as well as the generation of net income in the
first half of 1996 as compared to a loss in the same period of 1995.
Net cash utilized in investing activities was $34,000 and $1,038,000
in the first six months of 1995 and 1996, respectively, the increase
reflecting increased expenditures on fixed assets in connection with
the Superstore expansion program. Net cash of $6,333,000 was
provided by financing activities in the first six months of 1995
compared to $1,869,000 used in financing activities in the first six
months of 1996. The shift was primarily attributable to the receipt
of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering in the first half
of 1995 and to the use of a short term note in connection with the
acquisition of the ten store locations.
Effective September 1, 1995, the Company entered into a new loan
agreement with the Bank for a two year revolving credit line of up to
an aggregate of $6,000,000 with an interest rate equal to the prime
rate. As of June 30, 1996, $5,085,530 was outstanding under the line
of credit. In connection with the entry into the new loan agreement,
the Bank released the personal guarantee of Philip L. Stephen, the
Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, and majority
shareholder, and also released the subordination of his loan to the
Company to the loan by the Bank. In March, 1996, the subordination was
reinstated for $425,000, which is less than the full amount of the loan.
Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged to the Bank as
collateral, and the Company is prohibited from granting a security
interest to any party other than the Bank, which could limit the
Company's ability to obtain debt financing to implement its proposed
expansion. In addition, the Company's agreement with the Bank limits
or prohibits the Company, subject to certain exceptions, from merging
or consolidating with another corporation or selling all or
substantially all of its assets. As of June 30, 1996, the Company was
in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the loan agreement
with the Bank. In the event that the Company is unable to make
payment on its line of credit when due on August 31, 1997, the Bank
could foreclose on the collateral, which would have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
At June 30, 1996, the Company was indebted to Mr. Stephen in the
aggregate amount of $2,343,750. The $2,343,750 loan is evidenced by
two promissory notes. The notes initially bear interest at seven
percent (7%) per annum, payable monthly, with principal payable in
quarterly installments commencing May 1, 1996 through February 1,
2000. On January 31, 1996, the interest rate converted to the
interest rate charged by the Company's bank. The note provides for
immediate payment thereof upon, among other things, a change in a
majority of the continuing directors of the Company (as defined in the
note) or a demand by the Bank of payment in full of outstanding Bank
indebtedness.
The Company's accounts receivable, less allowances for doubtful
accounts, at June 30, 1996, were $1,937,000, as compared to $2,991,000
at December 31, 1995. The decrease was due to a decrease in the
amount of wholesale sales on credit terms in 1996 as compared to 1995.
At June 30, 1996, the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was
$670,000, which the Company believes is currently adequate for the
size and nature of its receivables. At June 30, 1996, notes
receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, were $430,000, as
compared to $464,000 at December 31, 1995. The decrease in notes
receivable primarily reflects collections on the promissory notes.
Currently, eight franchisees are obligated under notes. Their
inability to pay for purchases under standard payment terms is due
primarily to a downturn in their business during the recessionary
economy of 1991 to 1993 (in some cases exacerbated by road
construction making access to the stores difficult). It is the
Company's policy to convert accounts receivable to a note when a
franchisee has demonstrated an inability to pay its account on a
timely basis. Delays in collection or uncollectability of accounts
and notes receivable could have an adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity and working capital position.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had deferred tax assets of $443,000. The
Company, after considering its previous pattern of profitability and
its anticipated future taxable income, believes that it is more likely
than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. In this
respect, the Company estimates that $1,100,000 of future taxable
income will be required to realize the deferred tax assets, with the
majority of such assets anticipated to be recovered over the next
five years.
As of the date hereof, other than in connection with the
implementation of the Superstore growth program, the Company has no
material commitments for capital expenditures. In connection with the
acquisition of the ten stores described above, the Company was
obligated to expend $2,000,000 in cash on January 2, 1996 in repayment
of short term notes. In addition as part of the purchase price of the
acquisition, the Company assumed $1,000,000 of trade payables, as well
as issued 157,596 shares of common stock of the Company and a
promissory note in the amount of $1,507,396.
The Company has used a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the
Initial Public Offering to implement its proposed Superstore growth
program. The Company will need to seek additional debt or equity
financing, as the Company does not anticipate that its current
resources and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund the
continuing cost of its growth program to open 48 to 60 Superstores.
To the extent that the Company seeks financing through the issuance of
equity securities, any such issuance of equity securities would result
in dilution to the interests of the Company's stockholders.
Additionally, to the extent that the Company incurs indebtedness to
fund increased levels of accounts receivable or to finance the
acquisition of capital equipment or issues debt securities to fund the
Superstore growth program, the Company will be subject to risks
associated with incurring substantial indebtedness, including the
risks that interest rates may fluctuate and cash flow may be
insufficient to pay principal and interest on any such indebtedness.
Other than the Company's existing line of credit with the Bank, the
Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of,
additional financing and it is not anticipated that the existing
majority stockholder will provide any portion of the Company's future
financing requirements or further personal guarantees. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company on
acceptable terms, or at all.
Seasonality:
The Company's business is seasonal to some extent primarily as a
result of the impact of weather conditions on store sales. Store
sales and profits have historically been higher in the second and
third quarters (April through September) of each year than in the
first and fourth quarters, for which the Company generally achieves
only nominal profits or incurs net losses. Weather extremes tend to
enhance sales by causing a higher incidence of parts failure and
increasing sales of seasonal products. However, extremely severe winter
weather or rainy conditions tend to reduce sales by causing deferral
of elective maintenance.
Impact of Inflation:
Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations.
