Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) General
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ form these estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items)
necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial
position and results of operations for the three and six
months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows for
the three and six months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995.
The Company suggests that the unaudited Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements for the three and six months
ended April 30, 1996 be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 1995.
(2) Inventories
Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing
overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market.
Major classes of inventories as of April 30, 1996 and October 31,
1995 consisted of the following:
April 30, October 31,
1996 1995
Chassis $ 6,104,274 $ 6,545,808
Raw materials & components 8,657,793 8,294,483
Work in process 3,033,881 3,400,583
Finished goods 5,342,054 5,225,853
$23,138,002 $23,466,727
(3) Earnings per Share
The computation of earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of outstanding common shares during
the period plus common stock equivalents consisting of
certain shares subject to stock options.
The shares used in the computations of earnings per share for
the periods ended April 30 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
April 30, April 30,
1996 1995 1996 1995
Primary 7,521,917 7,252,800 7,404,711 7,205,167
Fully diluted 7,727,005 7,252,800 7,507,255 7,205,167
(4) Contingencies and Litigation
At April 30, 1996 the Company had contingencies and
litigation pending which arose in the ordinary course of
business. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and
the outcome of the individual matters is not presently
determinable. It is management's opinion that this
litigation would not result in liabilities that would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
(5) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes as calculated at statutory
rates is offset by the tax effect of net operating loss
carryforwards.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales
Sales for the six months ended April 30, 1996 were $70.0
million compared to $68.4 million for the same period in
fiscal 1995. Sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 were
$37.6 million compared to $34.9 million for the same period in
fiscal 1995. These increases were principally due to improved
sales of ambulance and bus products. The overall sales increases
were partially offset by declines in terminal truck sales.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the six months ended April 30, 1996 were
85.3% of sales compared to 87.3% of sales for the same period
in fiscal 1995. This decrease was principally due to
improved efficiencies in operations of the bus product lines
and lower material costs attributable to the sales mix in
ambulance product lines. These decreases were partially offset
by lower margins realized from terminal truck products.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.1 million
or 10.2% of sales for the six months ended April 30, 1996 compared
to $6.9 million or 10.0% of sales for the six months ended April 30,
1995. The overall increase was principally due to a charge of
$.4 million to reflect the impact of an unfavorable jury verdict of
certain litgiation recorded in the quarter ended January 31, 1996.
This litigation related to a dispute regarding a commission on a
foreign sale and was not related to the Company's products or its
future operations.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 1996 was
$1.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in
fiscal 1995. Interest expense for the quarter ended April 30,
1996 was $.6 million compared to $1.0 million for the same
period in fiscal 1995. These declines resulted from
decreases in the Company's average borrowing rates and
reductions in the Company's interest-bearing debt.
Net Income
The Company's net income was $2.1 million ($.28 per share)
for the six months ended April 30, 1996 compared to $.2
million ($.02 per share) for the same period in fiscal 1995.
This improvement was principally due to the improved
operations in the Company's ambulance and bus product lines
and decreases in interest expense associated with reduced
borrowings and interest rates described above.
The Company's net income for the quarter ended April 30, 1996
was $1.3 million ($.18 per share) compared to $.4 million
($.06 per share) for the same period in fiscal 1995. The net
income change is principally due to the same reasons
discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company used existing credit lines, internally generated
funds and supplier financing to finance its operations for
the six months ended April 30, 1996.
The Company believes that its cash flows from operations and
its credit facility with NationsBank of Georgia, N.A. will be
sufficient to satisfy its future working capital and capital
expenditure requirements.
At April 30, 1996, there were no significant or unusual
contractual commitments or capital expenditure requirements.
