NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that, in
the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results
of the interim periods presented. This report includes information in a
condensed form and should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1996 filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 28, 1997. The results of operations for
the three month and nine month periods ended August 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or
any other interim period.
Amounts for interim periods are unaudited. Amounts for the year
ended November 30, 1996 were derived from audited financial statements
included in the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.
Certain prior year amounts in these financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Prior year quarter amounts have been restated for a change in
inventory valuation from the last-in, first-out method to the first-in,
first-out method. In addition the three month and nine month periods
ended August 31, 1997 include the operations of the newly acquired
Sofitam subsidiaries. For further discussions with regard to these
matters, see the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.
Fully diluted loss per share for the three month periods ended
August 31, 1997 and 1996 and the nine month period ended August 31, 1996
is considered to be the same as primary loss per share, since the effect
of certain potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of," is effective for the year ending November 30,
1997. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. In the opinion
of management, this statement is not expected to materially impact the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," is
effective for the year ending November 30, 1997. This statement
encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation
expense for grants of stock, stock options, and other equity instruments
based on a fair value method of accounting. Companies that choose not to
adopt the new expense recognition rules of SFAS No. 123 will continue to
apply the existing accounting rules of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APBO) No. 25, but will be required to provide pro forma
disclosure of the compensation expense determined under the fair value
provisions of SFAS No. 123 if material. APBO No. 25 requires that there
be no recognition of compensation expense for the stock-based
compensation arrangements provided by the Company when the exercise price
is equal to or greater than the market price at the date of grant. The
Company expects to continue to follow the accounting provisions of APBO
No. 25 for stock-based compensation and to furnish the pro forma
disclosures required under SFAS No. 123.
SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure," are effective for the year ending November 30, 1998. In the
opinion of management, SFAS No. 125 and 129 will not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Management has not yet determined the impact that SFAS No. 128 will have
on the presentation of the Company's results of operations.
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of
Position No. 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities," is effective
for the year ending November 30, 1998. Management has not yet determined
the impact that adoption of this statement will have on the Company's
financial position or results of operations, but does not anticipate that
material liabilities will need to be recorded in addition to those
already provided for under the provisions of generally accepted
accounting principles as prescribed by SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies."
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
are effective for the year ending November 30, 1999. Management has not
yet determined the impact that these statements will have on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
See financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company's
1996 Annual Report.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands except amounts per share)
SALES: Consolidated net sales for the fiscal 1997 third quarter
were $91,781 versus net sales of $59,044 reported in the comparable
period in 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, consolidated sales
were $279,662 versus $166,212 in the prior year. Sales for the third
quarter reflected a 55% and a 68% increase for the three month and nine
month periods, respectively, over those recorded in the comparable period
in the prior year. A comparison of sales made in 1997 versus 1996 by
those entities that have been part of Tokheim since prior to the
acquisition of Sofitam is not meaningful given that certain of these
sales are now made through Sofitam entities.
International and North American export sales for the three month
and nine month periods ended August 31, 1997 totaled $58,334 and
$180,359, respectively, with North American sales remaining consistent
with prior year. International and North American export sales totaled
64% of revenue for the quarter and year to date, up considerably from the
prior year's 42% quarterly and 38% year to date ratios. This increase in
terms of dollars and percentage of total sales is attributable to the
September 6, 1996 Sofitam acquisition and the acquisition's marketing
synergies, which have provided the Company with opportunities for
pan-European and pan-African supply agreements with major oil companies
and hypermarkets.
EARNINGS: Consolidated net earnings in the 1997 third quarter were
$152 or $0.03 per share loss on a primary basis after preferred stock
dividends compared to a net loss of $37 or $0.05 per share loss after
preferred stock dividends reported in the previous year's third quarter.
The fully diluted net earnings per common share, after preferred stock
dividends in the 1997 quarter, was equal to a loss of $0.03 per share
compared to a loss of $0.05 per share reported in the year ago period.
For the nine month period ended August 31, 1997, consolidated net
earnings were $1,487 or $0.04 per share on a primary basis after
preferred stock dividends compared to a net loss of $164 or $0.17 per
share on a primary basis after preferred stock dividends in the year ago
period. The fully diluted net earnings per common share, after preferred
stock dividends in the 1997 nine month period, was equal to earnings of
$0.04 per share compared to a loss of $0.17 per share reported in the
year ago period.
Fully diluted loss per share for the three month periods ended
August 31, 1997 and 1996 and the nine month period ended August 31, 1996
is considered to be the same as primary loss per share, since the effect
of certain potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive.
COSTS AND EXPENSES: Gross margin, excluding depreciation, during
the third quarter was 25.2% compared to 23.4% in the fiscal 1996 third
quarter. Current year to date gross margin, excluding depreciation, was
25.1% compared to 23.8% in the first nine months of the prior year. This
improvement was attributable to both the domestic and international
business due in part to a more favorable product mix. Additionally, the
Company is benefiting from programs to improve the domestic manufacturing
efficiency and the progress made in rationalizing the international
manufacturing facilities.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 16.8% as
a percent of sales for the third quarter compared to 16.9% for the
comparable quarter last year. For the first nine months of the year,
selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 17.3% from
18.6% in the first nine months of the prior year. The Company has
implemented a program of improved efficiency and reduced headcount during
the current fiscal year. This headcount reduction translated into a
reduced valuation for the postretirement liability in the current quarter
and year to date. The benefits of these measures and the continued
implementation of the Sofitam consolidation plan are creating a positive
impact by reducing selling, general, and administrative costs. In
addition the Sofitam acquisition substantially increased revenue during
the three month and nine month periods ended August 31, 1997 as compared
to the prior year.
Net interest expense for the fiscal 1997 third quarter was $4,248
versus $838 in the third quarter of 1996. Year to date interest expense
was $12,443 for the first nine months of 1997 versus $2,304 for the first
nine months of 1996. This increase was due to the Company issuing
$100,000 of senior subordinated notes at the end of 1996 third quarter to
finance the acquisition of Sofitam.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $2,497 in the third
quarter of 1997 from $989 in the third quarter of 1996. The current year
to date depreciation and amortization expense is $6,877 compared to
$3,126 in the first nine months of 1996. The increase was due to
depreciation on assets acquired as part of the Sofitam acquisition. In
addition, as part of the acquisition, the Company's recorded depreciation
and amortization expense includes the amortization of goodwill. The
decrease in goodwill on the balance sheet is principally due to
translation adjustments caused by the declining value of European
currencies, primarily the French Franc.
The Company incurred merger and acquisition costs and other unusual
items of $348 and $826 in the three months and nine months ended August
31, 1997. These amounts relate to restructuring charges associated with
certain previously existing Tokheim companies related to implementation
of the Sofitam consolidation plan. The Company expects to incur
approximately $1,300 of addition expenses in future periods. These
amounts will be charged to expense as employee groups are notified and
costs are incurred. The Company expects to incur approximately $500 of
restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Foreign currency gains for the 1997 third quarter were $138 versus
losses of $39 in the third quarter of 1996. The current year to date
foreign currency gains were $315 compared to gains of $211 in the first
nine months of 1996. These increases from comparable year ago periods are
the result of a $530 gain recorded during the current quarter on the sale
of an foreign currency option agreement, as described below, offset by
losses of $392 and $215 in the three and nine month periods ended August
31, 1997. These losses primarily relate to United States dollar
denominated transactions, entered into by our foreign subsidiaries during
a period of time in which their functional currencies have suffered a
weakening against the United States dollar.
During the second quarter of 1997 the Company entered into a
foreign currency option between the Company and a financial institution
allowing the Company to sell French Francs to this financial institution.
The amount of this contract totaled approximately $14,154,000 over a
three year period. During the third quarter the Company opted to sell the
agreement back to the financial institution as reported above.
The Company recorded minority interest of $119 and $200 in the
three month and nine month periods ended August 31, 1997, respectively.
The Company acquired certain companies as part of the Sofitam acquisition
that have minority interest.
Income taxes for the 1997 third quarter were an expense of $169
compared to an expense of $266 in the prior year. The current year to
date income taxes were an expense of $299 versus a benefit of $240 in the
prior year. The increase in income taxes was due to foreign taxes being
accrued for the foreign subsidiaries that recorded taxable income in the
first nine months of 1997.
OTHER: Cash provided from operations was $11,846 in the first nine
months of 1997 versus a use of $1,124 in the first nine months of 1996.
This increase was primarily achieved through improved earnings and
reductions in receivables and inventory levels mitigated somewhat by
reductions in payables and accruals. The improved cash flow provided from
the changes in receivables and inventory levels were brought about by
management's continued efforts to increase the efficiency of the two
merged businesses and effectively utilize the combined working capital
available.
Cash flows used in investing activities relate to capital
expenditures of $5,507 for the first nine months of 1997 compared to
$1,887 in the first nine months of 1996. The increase in 1997 versus 1996
is due to the consolidation of administrative centers in France into a
single operations center in Tremblay located near Charles DeGaulle
airport.
Cash flows from financing activities showed a $12,476 decrease in
term debt and notes payable, banks, combined during the first nine months
of 1997 versus an increase of $103,919 in the first nine months of 1996.
The 1996 increase in debt represents the issuance of $100,000 of Senior
Subordinated Notes to finance the acquisition of Sofitam.
DIVIDENDS: No cash dividends on common stock were paid or declared
during the quarter.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS: The Company incurred a foreign currency
translation loss during the quarter of $4,929 which is accounted for as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. This loss was due to the
decline of the French Franc against the U.S. dollar on long term
intercompany assets. At August 31, 1997 the Company was in compliance
with all required bank covenants.
In conjunction with the Sofitam acquisition, the Company expects to
spend $9,800 to close redundant Sofitam operations in Europe, of which
$2,848 has been spent during the first nine months of 1997. These
expenditures have been and will continue to be charged against the
acquisition accruals originally created as part of the acquisition of
Sofitam. The Company will also spend up to $6,300 for capital assets to
expand the Normandy, France plant and upgrade information systems.
Additionally, the Company anticipates incurring expenses totaling $1,800
against operating income to finalize the Sofitam consolidation plan
involving restructuring and closure of certain existing operations. For
the nine month period ended August 31, 1997 $826 of the original
commitment has been incurred. This topic is more fully disclosed in Form
10-K for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1996 filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 1997.
The Company has committed to an information systems upgrade at one
of its North American Subsidiaries. This commitment will incur cost of
approximately $2,000 over the next several months. These expenses are
being recognized as an operating lease.
In response to strong growth in sales and continued demand for
service support in Mexico, the Company has initiated incorporation
proceedings in that country. The new subsidiary, "Tokheim de Mexico, S.A.
de C.V." will incorporate sales and service and will be closely
coordinated with an existing country wide distribution network.
