COLLINS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 from those 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, 1998
and 1997, and the cash flows for the six months ended April 30,
1998 and 1997.
The Company suggests that the unaudited Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements for the three and six months ended April 30,
1998 be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for
the year ended October 31, 1997.
(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, 1998 and October 31,
1997, consisted of the following:
April 30, 1998 October 31, 1997
Chassis $ 8,297,674 $ 7,675,115
Raw materials & components 9,413,671 8,673,308
Work in process 3,715,222 4,173,173
Finished goods 4,870,014 5,164,426
$26,296,581 $25,686,022
(3) Earnings per Share
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share (EPS), which requires the
reporting of basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company
adopted Statement 128 in the first quarter of 1998 as required.
Earnings per share and weighted average shares outstanding for
all periods presented have been restated to conform to Statement
128. Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of
stock options and is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding
for the period plus the shares that would be outstanding assuming
the exercise of dilutive stock options. The effect of dilutive
stock options on weighted average shares outstanding was 182,573
and 302,745 for the quarters ended April 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The effect of dilutive stock options on weighted
average shares outstanding was 262,540 and 384,129 for the six
months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $7.56 and 684,300 shares of common stock at exercise
prices ranging from $4.25 to $6.00 were outstanding during the
quarter ended April 30 of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Accordingly, these were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the options exercise price was greater than
the average market price of common shares.
Options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $7.56 and 421,400 shares of common stock at exercise
prices ranging from $4.25 to $6.00 were outstanding during the
six months ended April 30 of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Accordingly, these were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the options exercise price was greater than
the average market price of common shares.
(4) Contingencies and Litigation
At April 30, 1998 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.
(5) Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for three and six months ended
April 30, 1998 is calculated at statutory rates. The Company's
income tax expense for the three and six months ended April 30,
1997 was less than statutory rates due to the impact of the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and general
business tax credits.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net Sales
Sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1998, decreased 7.4% from
the same period in fiscal 1997. This decrease was principally
due to lower sales of ambulances, partially offset by higher
sales of bus products.
The Company's consolidated sales backlog at April 30, 1998 was
$44.3 million compared to $45.5 million at October 31, 1997 and
$46.9 million at April 30, 1997.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1998 were 84.7% of
sales compared to 83.1% for the same period in fiscal 1997. The
percentage increase was principally due to program discounts and
higher sales incentives on closing out 1997 models over that of the
same period last year. The Company's cost of sales for the six months
ended April 30, 1998 were 85.8% of sales compared to 84.3% of sales
for the same period in fiscal 1997. Increases were principally due
to the same reasons discussed above.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense decreased principally as a result of the Company's
overall reduction of its outstanding interest-bearing debt.
Income Taxes
The Company's income tax expense for the quarter ended April 30,
1998 and 1997 were 35% and 28% of income before provisions for
income taxes. For the quarter ended April 30, 1998, provisions
for income taxes were calculated based on statutory income tax
rates. For the quarter ended April 30, 1997, due to the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and general
business tax credits, the company calculated a provision of less
than the statutory income tax rate. All carryforwards of net
operating losses and tax credits were utilized in the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1997. Accordingly, the Company expects future
income tax provisions to be based on statutory income tax rates.
The Company's income tax expense for the six months ended April
30, 1998 and 1997 were 35% and 21% of income before provisions
for income taxes. Differences between 1998 and 1997 provisions
are principally due to the same reasons discussed in the
immediately preceding paragraph.
Net Income
The Company's net income for the quarter ended April 30, 1998 was
$1.1 million ($.15 per share-basic) compared to $2.0 million
($.28 per share-basic) for the same period in fiscal 1997. The
decrease in the Company's net earnings was principally
attributable to a decrease in ambulance sales. This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in bus sales.
The Company's net earnings were $1.7 million ($.23 per share-
basic) for the six months ended April 30, 1998 compared to $3.0
million ($.42 per share-basic) for the six months ended April 30,
1997. 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 and financing from issuance of
Industrial Revenue Bonds to fund its operations and capital
expenditures for the three and six months ended April 30, 1998.
Cash provided by operations was $2.5 million for the six months
ended April 30, 1998 compared to $1.9 million for the six months
ended April 30, 1997. Cash provided by operations principally
resulted from the Company's net income ($1.7 million),
depreciation ($.9 million) and a decrease in prepaid expense ($.8
million) and was partially offset by increases in inventories
($.6 million), during the six months ended April 30, 1998.
Cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million for the six
months ended April 30, 1998 compared to $.6 million for the six
months ended April 30, 1997. The increase was principally due to
higher capital expenditures for the expansion of the Company's
bus manufacturing facilities.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $.7 million for
the six months ended April 30, 1998 compared to cash used in
financing activities of $1.3 million for the six months ended
April 30, 1997. This change principally resulted from increases
in borrowing for the six months ended April 30, 1998. This
increase was partially offset by the payment of three cash
dividends totaling $1.4 million. The Company paid a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $.025 per share in December, 1997 and
March, 1998, and a special cash dividend of $.13 per share in
January, 1998.
The Company believes that its cash flows from operations and bank
credit lines will be sufficient to satisfy its future working
capital and capital expenditure requirements.
In December 1997, the Company entered into a capitalized lease
agreement with the City of South Hutchinson, Kansas for the
issuance of $3.5 million of 1997 Industrial Revenue Bonds. The
bonds bear interest at rates ranging from 4.75% to 5.80% and
mature serially over a period of ten years. The proceeds of the
bonds will be used to construct and equip an addition to the
Company's bus manufacturing facilities. As of April 30, 1998,
unused net proceeds from the bonds were $1.5 million. Except as
previously noted, at April 30, 1998 there were no other
significant or unusual contractual commitments or capital
expenditure commitments.
