GRIFFON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation -
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at September 30, 1994 has
been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
September 30, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report to shareholders for the year ended September 30, 1994. The Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," for the year beginning
October 1, 1994. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
At the February 8, 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders
approved changing the Company's name from "Instrument Systems Corporation" to
"Griffon Corporation." The name change became effective in March 1995.
(2) Inventories -
Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or average)
or market, are comprised of the following:
March 31, September 30,
1995 1994
----------- -------------
Finished goods . . . . . . . . . . $19,690,000 $16,664,000
Work in process . . . . . . . . . 30,261,000 26,674,000
Raw materials and supplies . . . . 26,339,000 25,580,000
----------- -----------
$76,290,000 $68,918,000
=========== ===========
(3) Net Income Per Share -
Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock, and where dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding
during each period. Shares used in computing per share results were 33,111,000
and 37,481,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and 34,203,000
and 37,704,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
(4) Notes Payable -
In December 1994, outstanding borrowings under a long-term debt agreement
were refinanced under a short-term line of credit. Interest on this obligation
is at approximately the prime rate.
(5) Self-Tender Offer -
In December 1994, the Company completed a self-tender offer for 3,002,840
shares of the Company's Common Stock, which were then retired, at a price of
$8.75 per share. During the six months ended March 31, 1995, approximately
$28,200,000 was used to acquire 3,120,040 shares of Common Stock.
(6) Acquisitions -
During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company acquired two
companies for the building products business for an aggregate price of
$7,758,000. The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1995
Net sales -
Net sales were $120.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
1995, an increase of $14.3 million or 13.5% over last year's comparable quarter.
Net sales of the building products business were $58.7 million, an
increase of $16.0 million or 37.3% over last year. Acquired businesses
accounted for $9.5 million of the higher sales; the remainder of the increase
was principally due to increased unit sales of garage doors ($5.6 million) and
increased prices.
Net sales of the specialty plastic films business were $27.6 million
compared to $29.7 million last year. As previously reported, a major customer
of the specialty plastic films business has made a design change which
substantially phased out the specialty plastic's thin laminate program during
the first half of 1995. During the quarter, decreased sales of thin laminate
($6.2 million) were partially offset by the effect of higher selling prices
($2.7 million) and increased unit sales of other film products ($1.0 million).
Net sales of the electronic information and communication systems business
were $23.3 million compared to $23.8 million last year.
Operating income -
Income from operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 was
$5.5 million compared to $8.4 million in last year's comparable quarter.
Operating income of the building products business, in what is
historically its weakest quarter, increased by approximately $1.0 million
compared to last year. The effect of higher sales was partially offset by
higher general and administrative expenses due to the business growth.
Operating income of the specialty plastic films business decreased by
approximately $3.5 million compared to last year primarily due to the phase-out
of the thin laminate program, delays in receipt of anticipated orders related to
ongoing development projects and substantial cost increases for polyethylene
resin used in its business. The Company has generally been able to pass on such
increases to its customers in the past. Although the Company has implemented
selling price increases, due to the magnitude of the cost increases, such
selling price adjustments have not fully compensated for the cost increases. It
is not known at this time if there will be further cost increases or if prices
have stabilized.
Operating income of the electronic information and communication systems
business decreased approximately $.5 million principally due to the lower sales.
Six months ended March 31, 1995
Net sales -
Net sales were $253.7 million in the six-month period ended March 31,
1995, an increase of $31.7 million or 14.3% over last year's comparable period.
Net sales of the building products business were $138.6 million, an
increase of $34.8 million or 33.5% over last year. Acquired companies accounted
for $16.8 million of the increase, with the remainder of the increase
principally attributable to increased unit sales of garage doors and price
increases.
Net sales of the specialty plastic films business were $54.2 million
compared to $56.6 million last year, due primarily to the phase-out of the thin
laminate program partially offset by the effect of higher selling prices ($3.9
million) and increased unit sales of health care and other film products ($3.7
million).
Net sales of the electronic information and communication systems business
were $40.8 million compared to $43.0 million last year, principally due to
decreased revenues on certain military programs that are nearing completion.
Operating income -
Income from operations for the six-month period ended March 31, 1995 was
$18.2 million compared to $19.8 million last year.
Operating income of the building products business increased approximately
$3.8 million over last year's comparable period primarily due to the increased
sales.
Operating income of the specialty plastic films business and the
electronic information and communication systems business decreased
approximately $4.7 million and $.9 million, respectively, for the reasons
discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow used in operations was $3.1 million, reflecting a reduction of
current liabilities of approximately $24.1 million.
In December 1994, the Company completed a self-tender offer for 3,002,840
shares of its Common Stock at a price of $8.75 per share. During the six
months, a total of $28.2 million was used to acquire 3,120,040 shares of Common
Stock. These purchases were funded by existing cash and marketable securities,
which decreased due to the stock purchases and $7.8 million used for two
acquisitions for the building products business.
Anticipated cash flows from operations, together with existing cash and
lease line availability, should be adequate to finance presently anticipated
working capital and capital expenditure requirements.
