CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements of Milastar Corporation (the "Company") reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances.
The consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2003 and for the three month periods ended July 31, 2003 and July 31, 2002, included herein are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders and incorporated by reference in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The result of operations for the interim period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Stock-Based Compensation -In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations, the Company uses the intrinsic value-based method for measuring stock-based compensation cost which measures compensation cost as the excess, if any, of quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company's general policy is to grant stock options at fair value at the date of grant. Consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company did not have any pro forma compensation costs associated with the options outstanding for the three months ended July 31, 2003 or 2002.3 INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominators used in the computation of net income per common share - basic and net income per common share - diluted for the quarters ended July 31, 2003 and 2002:
| Three Months Ended July 31, | |||||||
| 2003 | 2002 | ||||||
| Weighted shares outstanding - basic | 2,723,264 | 2,723,264 | |||||
| Weighted shares assumed upon exercise of stock options | 133,142 | 167,869 | |||||
| Weighted shares outstanding - diluted | 2,856,406 | 2,891,133 | |||||
| Options excluded from the net income per share calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price. | 420,832 | 420,832 |
4 BANK CREDIT LINE
The Company has a revolving line of credit with its bank, which permits borrowings of up to $500,000 and bears interest at the bank's reference rate which was 4.0% at July 31, 2003. At July 31, 2003, borrowings under this agreement were $50,000.
5 INCOME TAXES
At July 31, 2003, the Company hasfederal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,012,000 and state net operating losses of $2,171,000 which, if not used, will begin to expire in 2010. Future changes in the ownership of the Company may place limitations on the use of these carryforwards. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the related benefits.The net income for the quarters ended July 31, 2003 and 2002 were favorably impacted by the utilization of prior net operating losses, thus a provision for income taxes of approximately 40% was not recorded.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended July 31, 2003 as Compared with the Three Months Ended July 31, 2002. The Company recorded sales of $2,595,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 as compared with $2,236,000 for the same period last year, a $359,000 (16%) increase. The increase was primarily attributable to additional work received from existing customers.
Cost of sales of $1,826,000 (70% of net sales) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 increased $190,000 (12%) from $1,636,000 (73% of net sales) for the same period a year earlier. The increase was primarily attributable to increased labor and utility costs. Gross margin increased to $769,000 as compared with $600,000 for the prior year first quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to higher sales without a corresponding increase in fixed expenses during the period ended July 31, 2003.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $548,000 (21% of net sales) increased $78,000 (17%) from $470,000 (21% of net sales) for the same period a year earlier. The change in SG&A expenses is primarily due to an increase in the provision for incentive compensation. SG&A expenses are expected to remain at or below the current level.
The Company recorded operating income of $221,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 as compared with operating income of $108,000 recorded in the prior year first quarter.The increase in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 is primarily attributable to higher sales and gross profit margin.
Total other expense amounted to $61,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 as compared with other expense of $65,000 in the first quarter of last year. Other expense in both first quarters relates primarily to interest expense, which decreased $9,000 due to a reduction in interest rates and long-term debt.
The Company recorded net income of $160,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 as compared with net income of $41,000 in the prior year first quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 2003, the Company had negative working capital of $262,000 compared with $269,000 of negative working capital at April 30, 2003. Cash and accounts receivables represented 72% (71% at April 30, 2003) and 13% (12% at April 30, 2003) of total current assets and total assets, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, net cash flows from operating activities amounted to $440,000 compared to $288,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Working capital requirements for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was funded primarily from available cash, cash generated from operations and short-term borrowings under the line of credit. The Company believes anticipated cash flows from operations, issuance of long-term debt and its line of credit will be adequate to satisfy projected operating requirements through at least the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's estimates related to certain assets and liabilities are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates are considered critical to the consolidated financial statements because they require subjective and complex judgements.
(a) Revenue Recognition - The Company's revenues are recognized when products are shipped to unaffiliated customers. The Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition" provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company has concluded that its revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and SAB No. 101.
(b) Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable -The Company records an allowance for accounts receivable which are potentially uncollectible. The allowance is established by estimating the amounts that are potentially uncollectible based on a review of customer accounts, age of the receivable, the customer's financial condition and industry, and general economic conditions. Results could be materially different if economic conditions deteriorated for the Company's customers.
(c) Long-Lived Assets - Property and equipment, are depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company believes no impairment changes need to be recorded as of July 31, 2003.
(d) Valuation Allowance - In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax carryover periods available, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in the 10-QSB are forward-looking statements. These statements may discuss, among other things, expected growth, future revenues and future performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, competitive pressures, inflation, consumer debt levels, currency exchange fluctuations, trade restrictions, changes in tariff and freight rates, capital market conditions and other risks indicated in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may materially differ from anticipated results described in these statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, of the effectiveness as of July 31, 2003, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely basis to material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic SEC reports. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.
