Financial Information | ' |
A. Financial Information | |
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. | |
These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2013 included in this interim period filing has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and related notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. | |
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Earnings Per Share | ' |
C. Earnings Per Share | |
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and six month periods. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of outstanding options under the Company’s stock option plans, except when options have an anti-dilutive effect. Options to purchase 48,050 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013, because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares at that date, and accordingly, such options would have an antidilutive effect. Options to purchase 158,400 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2012, because the effect would be anti-dilutive. |

E. Long-Term Debt and Other Credit Arrangements | |
On May 6, 2013, the Company entered into a new credit and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a new lender consisting of (1) a $20 million revolving credit facility which matures on May 1, 2016 (“Line of Credit”), (2) a term loan in the amount of $3,450,000 which matures on May 1, 2020 (“Term Loan A”) and (3) a term loan in the amount of $1,550,000 which matures on May 1, 2020 (“Term Loan B” and together with Term Loan A, the “Term Loans”). The Loan Agreement provided funds to refinance all existing indebtedness to the Company’s previous lender and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. In addition, it provides for the issuance of up to $4.7 million of letters of credit for our account. Indebtedness under the Line of Credit bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to Daily One Month LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum. Payments are due under Term Loan A in consecutive equal monthly principal payments in the amount of $17,000 until August 1, 2017, and then in consecutive equal monthly principal payments in the amount of $79,000 each, commencing on September 1, 2017 and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter until May 1, 2020, and at that time, all principal, accrued unpaid interest and other charges outstanding under Term Loan A shall be due and payable in full. The interest rate on Term Loan A, after consideration of interest rate swap agreements, is a fixed rate per annum equal to 4.875%, and effective August 1, 2017, such rate converts to a fixed rate per annum of 4.37%. Payments are due under Term Loan B in consecutive equal monthly principal payments in the amount of $18,000 until May 1, 2020, and at that time, all principal, accrued unpaid interest and other charges outstanding under Term Loan B shall be due and payable in full. The interest rate on Term Loan B, after consideration of the interest rate swap agreement, is a variable rate per annum equal to Daily One Month LIBOR plus 1.575% per annum, and effective November 3, 2014, such rate converts to a fixed rate per annum of 3.07%. | |
The credit facility includes financial covenants with respect to certain ratios, including (a) debt-to-net worth, (b) fixed charge coverage, and (c) asset coverage. At October 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants. At October 31, 2013, there were advances of $2,475,000 outstanding under the revolving credit line. | |
