FORM 10-Q September 30, 1997 Page 7 JACO ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION 1) The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments, which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the results of operations at and for the periods presented. Such financial statements do not include all the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated statements for the year ended June 30, 1997 and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. 2) For interim financial reporting purposes, the Company uses the gross profit method for computing inventories, which consists of goods held for resale. 3) The Company has a $30,000,000 term loan and revolving line of credit facility with its banks, which are based principally on eligible accounts receivables and inventories as defined in the agreement. The agreement was amended to (i) extend the maturity date to September 13, 2000, (ii) change the interest rate to a rate based on the average 30 day LIBOR rate plus 3/4 % to 1 1/4% depending on the Company's performance measured by a financial ratio, effective January 1, 1998 and (iii) changed the requirements of certain financial covenants. The applicable interest rate may be adjusted quarterly and borrowings under this facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. 4) In April 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of its outstanding common stock under a stock repurchase program. The purchases may be made by the Company from time to time on the open market at the Company's discretion. During fiscal 1997, the Company purchased 87,500 shares of its common stock for aggregate consideration of $700,000. 5) Earnings per share has been computed based on weighted average number of shares outstanding, including approximately 55,000 and 51,000 common stock equivalents for the three months ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the disclosure of earnings per share in the financial statements. 6) During August 1996, and January 1997, the Company purchased QPS Electronics, Inc. and Corona Electronics, Inc., respectively, both of which are electronic component distributors. Aggregate consideration paid for the acquisitions approximated $4,700,000 of which $157,500 was paid through the issuance of 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method and, as such, the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired have been recorded on the date of the respective acquisitions. The respective results of their operations are included with those of the Company from the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price, over the fair value of the assets acquired, approximately $3,053,000, is being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of twenty years. Pro forma historical results of operations are not presented, as such results would not be materially different from the historical results of the Company. FORM 10-Q September 30, 1997 Page 8 JACO ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Statements in this filing, and elsewhere, which look forward in time involve risks and uncertainties which may effect the actual results of operations. The following important factors, among others, have affected and, in the future, could affect the Company's actual results: dependence on a limited number of suppliers for products which generate a significant portion of the Company's sales, the effect upon the Company of increases in tariffs or duties, changes in trade treaties, strikes or delays in air or sea transportation and possible future United States legislation with respect to pricing and/or import quotas on products imported from foreign countries, and general economic effect upon manufacturers, end users of electronic components and electronic component distributors. GENERAL Jaco is a distributor of electronic components and provider of contract manufacturing and value-added services. Products distributed by Jaco include semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, electromechanical devices and flat panel displays (FPDs) used in the assembly and manufacturing of electronic equipment. The Company's customers are primarily small and medium sized manufacturers. The trend for these customers has been to shift certain manufacturing functions to third parties (outsourcing). The Company intends to seek to capitalize on this trend toward outsourcing by increasing sales of products enhanced by value-added services. Value-added services currently provided by Jaco consist of configuring complete computer systems to customer specifications both in tower and desktop configurations, kitting (e.g. supplying sets of specified quantities of products to a customer that are prepackaged for ease of feeding the customer's production lines), and contract manufacturing services through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Nexus Custom Electronics, Inc. Form 10-Q September 30, 1997 Page 9 COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased approximately 4% to $36.9 million as compared to $38.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The Company was affected by the continued industry wide competitive pressures resulting in reduction of the unit prices of certain electronic components. The Company believes that to increase sales in future periods it needed to expand its semiconductor management group, flat panel display division and increase the field application engineer program. Gross profit margins, as a percentage of the net sales remained constant at 21.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The Company was able to maintain its margins despite the reductions in component pricing during the quarter. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $6.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, an increase of $.3 million, or approximately 4.3% compared to the $6.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase was a result of the expanded programs previously stated and the additional costs associated with the acquisitions of Q.P.S. Electronics, Inc. and Corona Electronics, Inc. These increases were partially offset during the current quarter by reducing certain administrative costs and non-core personnel. Interest expense increased to $272,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased borrowings of approximately $4.5 million attributed to the fiscal 1997 acquisitions of Q.P.S. Electronics, Inc. and Corona Electronics, Inc. (see note A-6 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements). Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $398,000, or $.10 per share as compared to $788,000, or $.20 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in net earnings was attributable to the decrease in sales and the increase in SG&A expenses incurred in pursuit of the initiatives to expand the semiconductor management group, flat panel display division, field application engineer program and the acquisition of Corona Electronics, Inc. and Q.P.S. Electronics, Inc. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's agreement with its banks, as amended, provides the Company with a $30,000,000 term loan and revolving line of credit facility based principally on eligible accounts receivable and inventories of the Company as defined in the agreements expiring September 13, 2000. Effective June 1, 1997, borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the average 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1%. As of January 1, 1998, interest is based on the average daily 30-day LIBOR rate plus 3/4% to 1 1/4% depending on the Company's performance measured by a financial ratio. The applicable interest rate may be adjusted quarterly. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit facility was $13,988,944 at September 30, 1997. Form 10-Q September 30, 1997 Page 10 The term loan, with a remaining balance of $750,000 at September 30, 1997, requires monthly principal payments of $17,857, together with interest through September 13, 1998, with a final payment of $533,600 on September 13, 1998. Borrowings under this facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreement contains provisions for maintenance of certain financial ratios, all of which the Company is in compliance with at September 30, 1997, and prohibits the payment of cash dividends. The agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit by the banks on the Company's behalf. At September 30, 1997, $500,000 of such letters of credit were outstanding. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $391,000 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,725,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in inventory of $1,046,000 compared to a reduction in accounts receivable and inventory (net of assets acquired from business acquisitions) during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $267,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, as compared to $1,588,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The acquisition during fiscal 1997 required $1,240,000, which was financed substantially through additional borrowings under the Company's line of credit. The Company's cash expenditures may vary significantly from current levels, based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, future acquisitions, if any. For the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and 1997 inventory turnover was 3.4x and 4.0x, respectively. The average of the Company's accounts receivable at September 30,1997 was 55 days, as compared to 53 days at September 30,1996. The Company did not experience any significant trade collection difficulties during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. On April 15, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of its common stock or approximately 6.3% of the then outstanding shares, under a stock repurchase program. During fiscal 1997, the Company repurchased 87,500 shares at an average market price of $8.00 per share. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and funds available under its credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Company's capital needs for at least the next twelve months. INFLATION Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations during the last three fiscal years. FORM 10-Q September 30, 1997 Page 11 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
