(In thousands, except share data)
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the
consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the six months ended
December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000 have been prepared by us, without audit.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at December 31, 2000, and for all periods presented,
have been made. The balance sheet at June 30, 2000 was condensed from the
audited financial statements as of that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in our June 30, 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for
the period ended December 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year. Certain amounts in the prior year's
quarterly financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
presentation.
2. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the three
and six months ended January 2, 2000 have been prepared to give effect to the
dispositions of Dallas Aerospace (December 1999), Camoloc Gas Springs (September
1999) and the investment in Nacanco (July 1999), as if these transactions had
occurred on July 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma information is not intended to
be indicative of future results of our operations or results that might have
been achieved if these transactions had been in effect since July 1, 1999.

antidilutive and not included in the earnings per share calculation for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2000, and the three months ended January
2, 2000, respectively. Stock warrants entitled to purchase 504,396, 577,989 and
9000,000 shares of Class A common stock were antidilutive and not included in
the earnings per share calculation for the three and six months ended December
31, 2000, and the three months ended January 2, 2000, respectively. These shares
could be dilutive in subsequent periods.
6. CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to stringent government imposed environmental
laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the discharge of materials
into the environment and the generation, handling, storage, transportation and
disposal of waste and hazardous materials. To date, such laws and regulations
have not had a material effect on our financial condition, results of
operations, or net cash flows, although we have expended, and can be expected to
expend in the future, significant amounts for the investigation of environmental
conditions and installation of environmental control facilities, remediation of
environmental conditions and other similar matters, particularly in our
aerospace fasteners segment.
In connection with our plans to dispose of certain real estate, we must
investigate environmental conditions and we may be required to take certain
corrective action prior or pursuant to any such disposition. In addition, we
have identified several areas of potential contamination related to other
facilities owned, or previously owned, by us, that may require us either to take
corrective action or to contribute to a clean-up. We are also a defendant in
certain lawsuits and proceedings seeking to require us to pay for investigation
or remediation of environmental matters and we have been alleged to be a
potentially responsible party at various "superfund" sites. We believe that we
have recorded adequate reserves in our financial statements to complete such
investigation and take any necessary corrective actions or make any necessary
contributions. No amounts have been recorded as due from third parties,
including insurers, or set off against, any environmental liability, unless such
parties are contractually obligated to contribute and are not disputing such
liability.
As of December 31, 2000, the consolidated total of our recorded liabilities
for environmental matters was approximately $12.6 million, which represented the
estimated probable exposure for these matters. It is reasonably possible that
our total exposure for these matters could be approximately $19.7 million.
Other Matters
AlliedSignal (now Honeywell International) had asserted indemnification
claims against us in an aggregate amount of $38.8 million, arising from the
disposition of Banner Aerospace's hardware business to AlliedSignal. We claimed
that AlliedSignal owed us approximately $6.8 million. In October 2000, we
reached an agreement with AlliedSignal to settle these claims and as a result of
the settlement no cash changed hands.
We are involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to our
business. We, either on our own or through our insurance carriers, are
contesting these matters. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution
of the legal proceedings, including those mentioned above, will not have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, future results of operations
or net cash flows.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
8. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133
establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities
and supersedes and amends a number of existing accounting standards. It requires
that all derivatives be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance
sheet and measured at fair value. The corresponding derivative gains or losses
are reported based on the hedge relationship that exists, if any. Changes in the
fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that
do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133, are required to be
reported in earnings. Most of the general qualifying criteria for hedge
accounting under SFAS 133 were derived from, and are similar to, the existing
qualifying criteria in SFAS 80 "Accounting for Futures Contracts." SFAS 133
describes three primary types of hedge relationships: fair value hedge, cash
flow hedge, and foreign currency hedge. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 to defer the required effective date
of implementing SFAS 133 from fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 to
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
In fiscal 1998, we entered into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement to
reduce our cash flow exposure to increases in interest rates on variable rate
debt. The ten-year interest rate swap agreement provides us with interest rate
protection on $100 million of variable rate debt, with interest being calculated
based on a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.24% to February 17, 2003. On February 17, 2003,
the bank will have a one-time option to elect to cancel the agreement or to do
nothing and proceed with the transaction, using a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.715% for
the period February 17, 2003 to February 19, 2008.
We adopted SFAS 133 on July 1, 2000. At adoption, we recorded a decrease of
$0.5 million in the fair market value of our $100 million interest rate swap
agreement within other comprehensive income. The $0.5 million decrease will be
amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement using the
effective interest method. The offsetting interest rate swap liability is
separately being reported as a "fair market value of interest rate contract"
within other long-term liabilities. In the statement of earnings we have
recorded the net swap interest accrual as part of interest expense. Unrealized
changes in the fair value of the Swap are recorded net of the current interest
accrual on a separate line entitled "decrease in fair market value of interest
rate derivatives."
We did not elect to pursue hedge accounting for the interest rate swap
agreement, which was executed to provide an economic hedge against cash flow
variability on the floating rate note. When evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
133 on this hedge relationship, we assessed the key characteristics of the
interest rate swap agreement and the note. Based on this assessment, we
determined that the hedging relationship would not be highly effective. The
ineffectiveness is caused by the existence of the embedded written call option
in the interest rate swap agreement, and the absence of a mirror option in the
hedged item. As such, pursuant to SFAS No. 133, we designated the interest rate
swap agreement in the no hedging designation category. Accordingly, we have
recognized a non-cash decrease in fair market value of interest rate derivatives
of $3.1 million and $3.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2001, respectively, as a result of the fair market value adjustment for
our interest rate swap agreement.
The fair market value adjustment of these agreements will generally
fluctuate based on the implied forward interest rate curve for 3-month LIBOR. As
the interest rate curve decreases, the fair market value of the interest hedge
contract will increase and we will record an additional charge. As interest rate
curve increases, the fair market value of the interest hedge contract will
decrease, and we will record income.
In March 2000, the Company issued a floating rate note with a principal
amount of $30,750,000. Embedded within the promissory note agreement is an
interest rate cap. The embedded interest rate cap limits the 1-month LIBOR
interest rate that we must pay on the note to 8.125%. At execution of the
promissory note, the strike rate of the embedded interest rate cap of 8.125% was
above the 1-month LIBOR rate of 6.61%. Under SFAS 133, the embedded interest
rate cap is considered to be clearly and closely related to the debt of the host
contract and is not required to be separated and accounted for separately from
the host contract. For the quarterly period ended December 31, 2000, we
accounted for the hybrid contract, comprised of variable rate note and the
embedded interest rate cap as a single debt instrument.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
-----------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------
The Fairchild Corporation was incorporated in October 1969, under the
laws of the State of Delaware, under the name of Banner Industries, Inc. On
November 15, 1990, we changed our name from Banner Industries, Inc. to The
Fairchild Corporation. We own 100% of RHI Holdings, Inc. and Banner
Aerospace, Inc. RHI is the owner of 100% of Fairchild Holding Corp. Our
principal operations are conducted through Fairchild Holding Corp. and Banner
Aerospace.
The following discussion and analysis provide information which management
believes is relevant to the assessment and understanding of our consolidated
results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
GENERAL
We are a leading worldwide aerospace and industrial fastener manufacturer
and distribution supply chain services manager and, through Banner Aerospace, an
international supplier to airlines and general aviation businesses, distributing
a wide range of aircraft parts and related support services. Through internal
growth and strategic acquisitions, we have become one of the leading suppliers
of fasteners to aircraft OEMs, such as Boeing, European Aeronautic Defense and
Space Company, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.
Our aerospace business consists of three segments: aerospace fasteners,
aerospace distribution and real estate operations. The aerospace fasteners
segment manufactures and markets high performance fastening systems used in the
manufacture and maintenance of commercial and military aircraft. Our aerospace
distribution segment stocks and distributes a wide variety of aircraft parts to
commercial airlines and air cargo carriers, fixed-base operators, corporate
aircraft operators and other aerospace companies. Our real estate operations
segment owns and operates a shopping center located in Farmingdale, New York.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Certain statements in this financial discussion and analysis by management
contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to our financial
condition, results of operation and business. These statements relate to
analyses and other information which are based on forecasts of future results
and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to
our future prospects, developments and business strategies. These
forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such
as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may,"
"plan," "predict," "project," "will" and similar terms and phrases, including
references to assumptions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including current trend information, projections for deliveries,
backlog and other trend estimates, that may cause our actual future activities
and results of operations to be materially different from those suggested or
described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks include: product
demand; our dependence on the aerospace industry; reliance on Boeing and
European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company; customer satisfaction and quality
issues; labor disputes; competition, including recent intense price competition;
our ability to achieve and execute internal business plans; worldwide political
instability and economic growth; the cost and availability of electric power to
operate our plants; and the impact of any economic downturns and inflation.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materializes, or if
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially
from those expected, estimated or projected. Given these uncertainties, users of
the information included in this financial discussion and analysis by
management, including investors and prospective investors are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We do not intend to
update these forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report, even if new
information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or
misleading.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Transactions
The following summarizes certain business combinations and transactions
that significantly affect the comparability of the period to period results
presented in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition.
Fiscal 2000 Transactions
On December 1, 1999, we disposed of substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of our Dallas Aerospace subsidiary to United Technologies
Inc. for approximately $57.0 million. No gain or loss was recognized from this
transaction, as the proceeds received approximated the net carrying value of
these assets. Approximately $37.0 million of the proceeds from this disposition
were used to reduce our term indebtedness.
On September 3, 1999, we completed the disposal of our Camloc Gas Springs
division to a subsidiary of Arvin Industries Inc. for approximately $2.7
million. In addition, we received $2.4 million from Arvin Industries for a
covenant not to compete. We recognized a $2.3 million nonrecurring pre-tax gain
from this disposition.
On July 29, 1999, we sold our 31.9% interest in Nacanco Paketleme to
American National Can Group, Inc. for approximately $48.2 million. In the six
months ended January 2, 2000, we recognized a $25.7 million nonrecurring gain
from this divestiture. We used the net proceeds from the disposition to reduce
our indebtedness. We also agreed to provide consulting services over a
three-year period, at an annual fee of approximately $1.5 million.
Consolidated Results
We currently report in three principal business segments: aerospace
fasteners, aerospace distribution and real estate operations. The results of
Camloc Gas Springs division, prior to its disposition, were included in the
Corporate and Other classification. The following table provides the historical
sales and operating income of our operations for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000, respectively. The following table also
illustrates sales and operating income of our operations by segment, on an
unaudited pro forma basis, for the three and six months ended January 2, 2000,
as if we had operated in a consistent manner in each of the reported periods.
The pro forma results represent the impact of our dispositions of Dallas
Aerospace in December 1999, and Camoloc Gas Springs in September 1999, as if
these transactions had occurred at the beginning of the six-month period ended
January 2, 2000. The pro forma information is based on the historical financial
statements of these companies, giving effect to the aforementioned transactions.
The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations, that would actually have occurred if these transactions had been in
effect since the beginning of fiscal 2000, nor is it necessarily indicative of
our future results.

(a) - Includes restructuring charges of $3.0 million and $6.1 million in the
three and six months ended January 2, 2000, respectively.
(b) - Includes rental revenue of $1.9 million and $0.4 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000, respectively, and $3.5
million and $0.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2000 and
January 2, 2000, respectively.

Net sales of $148.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased
by $4.1 million, or 2.7%, compared to sales of $152.2 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000. Net sales of $296.5 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2001 decreased by $20.3 million, or 6.4%, compared to sales of $316.8
million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. The results for the three and
six months ended January 2, 2000, included revenue of $10.6 million and $22.4
million, respectively, from Dallas Aerospace and the Camloc Gas Springs division
prior to their respective dispositions. Additionally, the second quarter and
first six months of fiscal 2001 sales were adversely affected by approximately
$10.7 million and $17.2 million, respectively, due to the foreign currency
impact on our European operations. On a pro forma basis and excluding the
period-to-period foreign currency effect, net sales increased by $17.1 million
and $19.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000,
respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended January 2, 2000.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 26.4% and 24.9% in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 and 24.9% and 25.6% for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively. The reduced margins in the
fiscal 2001 six-month period are attributable to lower prices and a change in
product mix.
Selling, general & administrative expense as a percentage of sales was
23.3% and 23.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively, and
21.7% and 21.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The increase for the six months of fiscal 2001 is due primarily to higher
operating costs of our Farmingdale shopping center as a result of increased
rental income.
Other income decreased $2.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001,
compared to the first six months of fiscal 2000. The decrease is due primarily
to $3.1 million of income recognized from the disposition of non-core property
during the six months ended January 2, 2000, the write-off of approximately $1.0
million of tenant improvements and a $0.7 million loss recognized from the
disposition of non-core property during the six months ended December 31, 2000,
offset partially by a $1.3 million increase in rental income on our Farmingdale
shopping center.
In the six months ended January 2, 2000, we recorded $6.1 million of
restructuring charges as a result of the continued integration of Kaynar
Technologies, acquired in April 1999, into our aerospace fasteners segment. All
of the charges recorded were a direct result of product integration costs
incurred as of January 2, 2000. These costs were classified as restructuring and
were the direct result of formal plans to close plants and to terminate
employees. Such costs are nonrecurring in nature. Other than a reduction in our
existing cost structure, none of the restructuring charges resulted in future
increases in earnings or represented an accrual of future costs. Our integration
process was completed by June 30, 2000.
Operating income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2000
improved by $6.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to the same
periods of the prior year. The results for the six months ended January 2, 2000,
included $2.1 million of operating income from Dallas Aerospace, prior to its
disposition and $3.1 million of income recognized from the disposition of
non-core property, offset partially by restructuring charges of $6.1 million.
Operating income in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001 was
adversely affected by approximately $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively,
due to the foreign currency impact on our European operations. Additionally,
operating income in the current quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001 was
affected by write-off of $1.0 million of tenant improvements. On a pro forma
basis and excluding the period-to-period foreign currency effect, operating
income increased by $7.7 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2000, respectively, as compared to the three and six months
ended January 2, 2000.
Net interest expense increased $3.8 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2001, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2000. We recognized
interest expense of $1.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, while
we capitalized $3.8 million of interest expense in the first six months of
fiscal 2000 from real estate development at our shopping center in Farmingdale,
New York. The increase in interest rates during the first six months of fiscal
2001 was offset by higher average debt outstanding in the first six months of
fiscal 2000.
In the first six months of fiscal 2001, we recognized a $3.5 million of
non-cash decrease on the fair market value adjustment of interest rate
derivatives of a ten-year $100 million interest rate hedge agreement.
We recognized investment income of $0.6 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2001, and $2.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000, due
primarily to recognizing realized gains on investments liquidated.
Nonrecurring pre-tax income of $28.0 million in the six months ended
January 2, 2000 resulted from the disposition of our equity investment in
Nacanco Paketleme and the disposition of our Camloc Gas Springs division.
An income tax benefit of $7.6 million in the first six months of fiscal
2001 represented a 38.1% effective tax rate on pre-tax losses from continuing
operations. The tax benefit approximated the statutory rate. An income tax
provision of $5.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 represented a
30.3% effective tax rate on pre-tax earnings from continuing operations. The tax
provision was slightly lower than the statutory rate because of lower tax rates
at some of our foreign operations.
Comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation
adjustments, unrealized holding changes in the fair market value of
available-for-sale investment securities, and the cumulative effect of adoption
of SFAS 133, accounting for Derivatives. For the six months ended December 31,
2000, foreign currency translation adjustments decreased by $2.6 million, the
fair market value of unrealized holding gains on investment securities we own
increased by $2.1 million, and we recorded a $0.5 million decrease in the fair
market value of our $100 million interest rate swap agreement due to the
cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS 133.
We adopted SFAS 133 on July 1, 2000. At adoption, we recorded a decrease of
$0.5 million in the fair market value of our $100 million interest rate swap
agreement within other comprehensive income. The $0.5 million decrease will be
amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement using the
effective interest method. The offsetting interest rate swap liability is
separately being reported as a "fair market value of interest rate contract"
within other long-term liabilities. In the statement of earnings we have
recorded the net swap interest accrual as part of interest expense. Unrealized
changes in the fair value of the Swap are recorded net of the current interest
accrual on a separate line entitled "decrease in fair market value of interest
rate derivatives."
Segment Results
Aerospace Fasteners Segment
Sales in our Aerospace Fasteners segment increased by $3.9 million, or
3.1%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and decreased by $5.1 million, or
2.0%, in the first six months of fiscal 2001, as compared to the same periods of
fiscal 2000. Sales from our European operations were adversely affected by
approximately $10.7 million in the second quarter and $17.2 million in the first
six months of fiscal 2001, as compared to the same periods of the prior year,
due to the foreign currency impact from the U.S. dollar strengthening against
the Euro. However, our book-to-bill ratio continues to remain positive, which we
believe indicates an improving market place as compared to the sluggish
conditions we have experienced over the past twelve months.
Operating income increased by $6.9 million in the second quarter and $5.1
million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, compared to the same periods of
fiscal 2000. The increase was due primarily to productivity improvements from
cost reduction efforts completed in fiscal 2000 and restructuring charges
recorded in the first six months of fiscal 2000, offset partially by reduced
gross margins resulting from pricing pressures. Operating income for the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001 was adversely affected by
approximately $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as compared to the
same periods of the prior year, due to the foreign currency impact on our
European operations. Included in our prior six months results are restructuring
charges of $6.1 million due to the integration of Kaynar Technologies into our
Aerospace Fasteners business. Operating expenses at all operations are being
strictly controlled as management attempts to reduce operating costs to improve
operating results in the short-term, without adversely affecting our future
long-term performance.
Our Aerospace Fasteners segment has several manufacturing facilities
located in California, which are affected by an electric power shortage. We are
cautiously optimistic that the electric power shortage in California will be
resolved without any major business interruption; however, unless current
tariffs are revised or their continued implementation stayed, our manufacturing
costs may be materially higher. We are pursuing both long term and short term
alternatives to our current electric power purchasing commitments. We anticipate
that the overall demand for aerospace fasteners in calendar 2001 will continue
to improve as OEMs inventory reduction programs subside and the announced
increase in aircraft build rates favorably affect the demand for our products.
If the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate maintains the same ratio that existed
on December 31, 2000, we would expect the second six months of fiscal 2001 to
experience little affects from the foreign currency fluctuations that adversely
affected the results of the first six months of fiscal 2001.
Aerospace Distribution Segment
Sales in our aerospace distribution segment decreased by $8.0 million, or
28.5%, in the second quarter and $14.4 million, or 25.1%, in the first six
months of fiscal 2001, compared to the fiscal 2000 periods. The prior period
results included revenue of $10.6 million in the second quarter and $21.7
million in the six months ended January 2, 2000, from Dallas Aerospace, prior to
its disposition. On a pro forma basis, sales in our aerospace distribution
segment increased by $2.5 million, or 14.5%, in the second quarter and $7.3
million, or 20.3%, in the first six months of fiscal 2001, reflecting an overall
improvement in demand for our products.
Operating income decreased by $1.4 million in the second quarter and $2.6
million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, compared to the same periods in
fiscal 2000. The results for the three and six months ended January 2, 2000,
included operating income from Dallas Aerospace, prior to its disposition, of
$1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Real Estate Operations Segment
Our real estate operations segment owns and operates a shopping center
located in Farmingdale, New York. Included in operating income was rental
revenue of $1.9 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31,
2000 and January 2, 2000, respectively, and $3.5 million and $0.8 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2000 and January 2, 2000, respectively. Rental
revenue was higher in the fiscal 2001 periods due to an increase in the amount
of retail space leased to tenants. As of December 31, 2000, approximately 73% of
the developed shopping center was leased.
We reported an operating loss of $0.5 million for the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 and operating income of $0.1 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2000, compared to operating income of $0.3 million in the second
quarter and $0.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. In the second
quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded a charge of $1.0 million to write-off
specialized tenant improvements associated with an eviction of a non-paying
tenant. The results of the periods ended December 31, 2000, were also affected
by an increase in administrative and depreciation expenses as a result of the
increase in rental revenue.
Corporate and Other
The Corporate and Other classification included the Camloc Gas Springs
division, prior to its disposition, and corporate activities. The group reported
a decrease in sales as a result of the disposition of the Camloc Gas Springs
division in September 1999. The operating loss increased by $1.7 million in the
first six months of fiscal 2001, compared to the first six months of fiscal
2000. The first six months of fiscal 2000 included $3.1 million of income
recognized from the disposition of non-core property, while the first six months
of fiscal 2001 included a $0.3 million loss recognized from the disposition of
non-core property.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total capitalization as of December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000 amounted to
$889.6 million and $884.4 million, respectively. The changes in capitalization
included an $27.7 million increase in debt reflecting cash used to support our
operations, offset partially by a $12.6 million decrease in equity in the six
months ended December 31, 2000 due primarily to our reported net loss and a
reduction in comprehensive income.
We maintain a portfolio of investments classified primarily as
available-for-sale securities, which had a fair market value of $20.0 million at
December 31, 2000. The market value of these investments increased by $2.0
million in the six months ended December 31, 2000. There is risk associated with
market fluctuations inherent in stock investments, and because our portfolio is
not diversified, large swings in its value may occur.
Net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended December
31, 2000 and January 2, 2000 was $41.2 million and $58.8 million, respectively.
The primary use of cash for operating activities in the first six months of
fiscal 2001 was a $35.9 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities, a $12.6 million increase in inventories, and a $11.4 million
increase in other current assets, offset partially by a $16.3 million decrease
in accounts receivable. The primary use of cash for operating activities in the
first six months of fiscal 2000 was a $43.3 million increase in inventories and
a $22.9 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities,
offset partially by a $15.0 million decrease in accounts receivable.
Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended December
31, 2000 was $4.1 million and net cash provided by investing activities for the
six months ended January 2, 2000, was $87.8 million. In the first six months of
fiscal 2001, the primary use of cash included capital expenditures of $8.3
million and costs of $1.7 million for real estate development at our Farmingdale
shopping center, offset partially by $6.1 million of cash provided from the sale
of investments and dispositions of non-core real estate. In the first six months
of fiscal 2000, the primary source of cash from investing activities was $105.0
million of net proceeds received from the dispositions of Dallas Aerospace,
Nacanco and the Camloc Gas Springs division, offset partially by capital
expenditures of $16.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December
31, 2000 and January 2, 2000 was $25.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
included $24.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of additional debt.
Cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2000
included $161.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of debt, and $0.2 million
from the issuance of stock, offset by $161.2 million repayment of debt and a
$0.6 million purchase of treasury stock.
Our working capital requirement has increased in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001, as our aerospace fasteners segment engaged in a new inventory
supply program with a customer, requiring a significant investment in inventory.
Under this program, we must maintain a certain level of inventory to fulfill the
customer's monthly requirements. Sales under the program are expected to
increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.
Our principal cash requirements include debt service, capital expenditures,
real estate development, and payment of other liabilities. Other liabilities
that require the use of cash include postretirement benefits, environmental
investigation and remediation obligations, and litigation settlements and
related costs. We expect that cash on hand, cash generated from operations, cash
available from borrowings and additional financing and asset sales will be
adequate to satisfy our cash requirements in fiscal 2001.
We are required under the credit agreement to comply with certain financial
and non-financial loan covenants, including maintaining certain interest and
fixed charge coverage ratios and maintaining certain indebtedness to EBITDA
ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. Additionally, the credit agreement
restricts annual capital expenditures to $40 million during the life of the
facility. Except for non-guarantor assets, substantially all of our assets are
pledged as collateral under the credit agreement. The credit agreement restricts
the payment of dividends to our shareholders to an aggregate of the lesser of
$0.01 per share or $0.4 million over the life of the agreement. Noncompliance
with any of the financial covenants without cure or waiver would constitute an
event of default under the credit agreement. An event of default resulting from
a breach of a financial covenant may result, at the option of lenders holding a
majority of the loans, in an acceleration of the principal and interest
outstanding, and a termination of the revolving credit line. At December 31,
2000, we were in full compliance with all the covenants under the credit
agreement.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In fiscal 1998, we entered into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement to
reduce our cash flow exposure to increases in interest rates on variable rate
debt. The ten-year interest rate swap agreement provides us with interest rate
protection on $100 million of variable rate debt, with interest being calculated
based on a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.24% to February 17, 2003. On February 17, 2003,
the bank will have a one-time option to elect to cancel the agreement or to do
nothing and proceed with the transaction, using a fixed LIBOR rate of 6.715% for
the period February 17, 2003 to February 19, 2008.
We did not elect to pursue hedge accounting for the interest rate swap
agreement, which was executed to provide an economic hedge against cash flow
variability on the floating rate note. When evaluating the impact of SFAS No.
133 on this hedge relationship, we assessed the key characteristics of the
interest rate swap agreement and the note. Based on this assessment, we
determined that the hedging relationship would not be highly effective. The
ineffectiveness is caused by the existence of the embedded written call option
in the interest rate swap agreement, and the absence of a mirror option in the
hedged item. As such, pursuant to SFAS No. 133, we designated the interest rate
swap agreement in the no hedging designation category. Accordingly, we have
recognized a non-cash decrease in fair market value of interest rate derivatives
of $3.1 million and $3.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2001, respectively as a result of the fair market value adjustment for
our interest rate swap agreement.
The fair market value adjustment of these agreements will generally
fluctuate based on the implied forward interest rate curve for 3-month LIBOR. As
the implied forward interest rate curve decreases, the fair market value of the
interest hedge contract will increase and we will record an additional charge.
As the implied forward interest rate curve increases, the fair market value of
the interest hedge contract will decrease, and we will record income.
In March 2000, the Company issued a floating rate note with a principal
amount of $30,750,000. Embedded within the promissory note agreement is an
interest rate cap. The embedded interest rate cap limits the 1-month LIBOR
interest rate that we must pay on the note to 8.125%. At execution of the
promissory note, the strike rate of the embedded interest rate cap of 8.125% was
above the 1-month LIBOR rate of 6.61%. Under SFAS 133, the embedded interest
rate cap is considered to be clearly and closely related to the debt of the host
contract and is not required to be separated and accounted for separately from
the host contract. For the six months ended December 31, 2000, we accounted for
the hybrid contract, comprised of variable rate note and the embedded interest
rate cap as a single debt instrument.
The table below provides information about our derivative financial
instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates, which include interest rate swaps. For interest rate swaps, the
table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected
(contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the
contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average
variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the
reporting date.
