ATKINSON COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts) FINANCIAL STATEMENT CONTENT The information contained herein reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. INVENTORIES AND UNAMORTIZED COSTS ON CONTRACTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory classifications are as follows: September 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 (unaudited) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Construction materials and supplies $ 1,792 $ 2,812 Unamortized costs on contracts 19,453 18,175 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 21,245 $ 20,987 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS At September 30, 1996, the Company had options outstanding with respect to 922,658 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $6.55 to $11.95 per share. The right to exercise these options vests progressively over a four year period commencing with the date of issue and expiring ten years from the date of issue. In addition, there were stock warrants outstanding for 387,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $7.00 expiring in 1998. EARNINGS PER SHARE Net primary earnings per share of common and common stock equivalents are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the net additional number of shares which would be issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, assuming that the Company used the proceeds received to repurchase outstanding shares at market prices. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES On March 7, 1995, a complaint asserting breach of contract and other wrongdoing in connection with the Company's sale of its manufacturing subsidiary, Lake Center Industries, Inc., was filed against the Company and its financial advisor by an unsuccessful bidder for Lake Center. The plaintiffs allege they have suffered actual damages of $290 in connection with preparting their bid, and also seek to recover $7,000 on a theory of unjust enrichment, together with an additional $10,000 in punitive damages. The Company will vigorously defend this suit, which it believes to be without merit, and further believes that the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. Page 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 VS. QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 (in thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts) Revenue: The Company's revenue of $126,011 in the third quarter of 1996 increased by 38 percent over the corresponding $91,364 in the third quarter of 1995. The increase in revenue was attributable to the substantial volume of new contract awards in 1995 that is making a significant contribution to revenue in 1996. The backlog of uncompleted contracts amounted to $598,732 at September 30, 1996, representing an increase of 27 percent over the September 30, 1995 backlog of $471,327. Gross margin: The Company's gross margin of $10,944 increased by 1 percent in the third quarter of 1996 over the corresponding $10,818 in 1995. Gross margin in the 1995 period included $1,700 from the settlement of a construction claim. Excluding this item from the 1995 period, the increase in gross margin from 1995 to 1996 was 20 percent. General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses of $10,318 in 1996 were 6 percent higher than the corresponding figure of $9,736 in 1995 due to an increased level of business development activities in construction and water and wastewater treatment, together with increased international market development. Interest income: Interest income decreased to $102 in 1996 from $904 in 1995 due to the reduced level of invested cash in 1996. Interest expense: Interest expense increased to $582 in the third quarter of 1996 from $172 in 1995. The increase was due to the higher level of borrowings in 1996 compared with 1995. Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous income amounted to $773 in 1996, compared with miscellaneous expense of $305 in 1995. Miscellaneous income and expense consists of, among other items, gains and losses from foreign exchange and property dispositions. The $773 in 1996 included a gain of $530 from the collection of a receivable which had previously been written-off as unrecoverable. Income taxes and net income: Income before taxes amounted to $919 in 1996, compared with $1,509 in 1995. Income tax benefit was $82 in 1996 compared with an income tax expense of $294 in 1995. The 1995 tax expense was primarily attributable to state and foreign income taxes, while the 1996 tax benefit was due to the recovery of federal and foreign taxes expensed in earlier periods. Net income for the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $1,001, compared with $1,215 in the third quarter of 1995. Page 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 Revenue: Revenue of $353,910 for the nine month period of 1996 increased by 32 percent over the corresponding $267,536 in 1995, as new construction contracts awarded in 1995 continue to contribute significantly to revenues in 1996. Gross margin: The Company's gross margin of $32,496 increased by 30 percent in the nine month period of 1996 over the corresponding figure of $25,020 in 1995 due to the increased volume of construction revenue. General and administrative expense: General and administrative expenses of $30,309 in 1996 were 11 percent higher than the corresponding $27,423 in 1995. This increase is primarily attributable to business development expenditures, as the Company pursues construction opportunities both domestically and internationally. Interest income: Interest income decreased to $1,659 in the nine month period of 1996 from $2,990 in 1995 due to the reduced level of short-term investment balances in 1996. Interest income in 1996 includes $1,060 earned on a deferred receivable as outlined in the discussion of "Liquidity and Capital Resources." Interest expense: Interest expense increased to $891 in 1996 from $430 in 1995 due to a higher average level of borrowings in 1996, compared with 1995. Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous income amounted to $1,020 in 1996, compared with $825 in 1995. Miscellaneous income in 1996 included $530 from the collection of a receivable previously written-off as unrecoverable, together with a gain of $620 from the disposition of surplus real estate. 1995 miscellaneous income included a gain of $1,900 from the disposition of surplus real estate. Income taxes and net income: Income before taxes amounted to $3,975 in the nine month period of 1996, compared with $982 in the corresponding period of 1995. Income taxes gave rise to an expense of $1,873 in 1996 compared with $33 in 1995. The 1996 income tax expense was primarily attributable to foreign income taxes on foreign source income, while the 1995 income tax expense was attributable to offsetting foreign income taxes with the recovery of foreign taxes expensed in earlier periods. Net income for the nine month period of 1996 amounted to $2,102, compared with $949 in 1995. Page 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Operating activities utilized cash of $65,225 in the nine month period of 1996, compared with $568 during the corresponding period of 1995. The utilization of cash by operating activities in 1996 is primarily attributable to higher accounts receivable balances and an increased level of investment in joint ventures, both of which result from the increased volume of construction revenues in 1996 compared with 1995. Specifically, the Company has an outstanding receivable of approximately $35,000 relating to a project to construct the first phase of a continuing care retirement facility in Southern California. The funds to repay this receivable are generated from the sale of residential units in the facility, the proceeds of which are placed in an escrow account to be released and applied towards payment of the receivable as certain milestones are met, including sale of a certain number of the units and obtaining a state license. The Company has no control over attainment of these milestones and, therefore, cannot estimate when it will receive payment. In addition, the Company has outstanding accounts receivable of approximately $20,000 relating to a construction project in Indonesia. Collection of these receivables has been delayed pending renegotiation of the contract to allow for changes in contract scope and duration. Investing activities generated cash of $560 in 1996, compared with a net utilization of $10,173 in 1995 as the acquisition of new construction equipment to service ongoing construction projects was offset by the selective disposition of older equipment. The Company's 1996 cash requirements for operations of $65,225 were financed by drawing upon cash and short-term investments amounting to $36,307, and by short-term borrowing of $28,300. The Company has syndicated lines of credit of $15,000 expiring April 30, 1997 and $40,000 expiring June 30, 1997. The availability of these lines of credit is reduced by any letters of credit which may be outstanding under the lines. At September 30, 1996, the Company had $28,300 in outstanding borrowings and $6,098 in outstanding letters of credit. The Company believes that its cash and short-term investments, together with lines of credit and funds generated from operations and other sources will be adequate to cover foreseeable future requirements.
