Note 3 - ACQUISITION On August 1, 1994, the Company acquired Grass Instrument Co., a privately held corporation ("Grass"), and Cannon Manufacturing Company, a privately held corporation ("Cannon") affiliated with Grass by common ownership. Following a merger, the combined businesses of Grass and Cannon continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company under the name "Grass Instrument Co." On an unaudited proforma basis, assuming Grass and Cannon had been acquired on February 1, 1994, the Company's consolidated net sales would have been $11,510,508$31,699,192 for the threenine months ended July 30, 1994 and $20,478,354 for the six months ended July 30,October 29, 1994. The proforma effect on net income and earnings per share is not material. -7- ASTRO-MED, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations: - --------------------- Net sales in the current quarter and six months increased 19% and 39%, respectively,decreased 4% compared to the prior year totals. Excluding salesquarter. Sales of Grass Instrument Co., a business acquired at the beginning of the new business acquiredprior year quarter (see noteNote 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), net salesaccounted for the seconddecrease. In the prior year quarter, sales of this business were higher than typical for a third quarter. Net sales in the current nine months increased 21% compared to sales in the prior year nine months. Excluding sales of the current fiscal year decreased approximately 6% as compared tonew business for the second quarter a year ago. For thefirst six months of the current fiscal year, sales on a comparable net sales were approximately 9% higher than forbasis increased 4% in the same period of the prior year. Changescurrent nine months. In all periods, changes in sales have been spread between recorders/printers and bar code printerall products in all geographic market sectors. Export sales have shown the most growth in the current year. The Company anticipates an overall sales increase in the last quarter of the current year. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 43%39% for the secondthird quarter of the current year and 41%44% for the same quarter of the prior year. The decline is attributable mainly to less than expected sales, with and without the new business. Such lower volume resulted in an unfavorable rate of overhead absorption. The consolidated gross profit percentage was 40% for the nine months of the current year and 45% for the same period of the prior year. In addition to the identified impact on the current quarter, the decline reflects inclusion of the new business for the first six months of the current year. Foryear but not of the prior year, the percentages were 46% and 45%, respectively. The declines were due in part to the inclusion of sales of the newyear. This business which historically has experienced substantially lower margins. ExcludingIn keeping with the anticipated sales increase, the Company anticipates an increase in gross profit in the fourth quarter of the new business, gross profit was 43% in the current second quarter and 43% for the current six months. Gross profit margins of the new business have been improved through the introduction of certain manufacturing efficiencies and selected modest price increases. Overall, margins in the currentyear. As compared to prior year have been affected by product sales mix and increased sales of certain products to dealers and independent sales representatives who receive a resale discount. Selling,totals, selling, general and administrative expenses withoutrose by 5% in the current quarter and, excluding the new business acquired, rose by approximately 12%9% in both the second quarter and six months of the current fiscal year as compared to amounts for the same periods in the prior fiscal year.nine months. There werehave been no individually significant expenses affecting the totals. The most substantial changes in the current year resulted from increased advertising and from additional sales personnel and their related expenses. ResearchThere were no individual research and development costs in either the current second quarter and sixor nine months did not varywhich varied significantly from comparable previous year totals. The level of such costs remains high, however, reflecting the Company's commitment to the development of new and improved products. Interest and dividend income, particularly for the current nine months, decreased noticeably compared to such income in the current second quarter and six months compared to prior year totals because of a reduction in invested funds following the acquisition for cash of thea new business referred toas mentioned above. -8- ASTRO-MED, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Financial Condition: - ------------------- Long-term debt appearing in the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of each respective period consists of the remainder of an industrial development revenue bond financing used in prior years to construct facilities and make major acquisitions of machinery and equipment. The Company's present cash and investment securities, together with funds generated from operations and capital resources available to it, are expected to satisfy requirements for working capital and other needs for the foreseeable future. The increased investment in inventories shown in the latest balance sheet is in accordance with business plans. No additional long-term financing is planned. -9- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
