NOLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated statements of income contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
2. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Company's December 31, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K are an
integral part of the interim unaudited financial statements
and remain substantially unchanged. The Company takes a
physical inventory annually on December 31 of each year. The
Company uses estimated gross profit rates to determine cost of
goods sold during interim periods. The estimated gross profit
rates include an estimate of any adjustment to the LIFO
reserve. The rate of inflation/deflation for an interim period
is not necessarily consistent with the full year rate of
inflation/deflation. Year-end inventory adjustments to reflect
actual inventory levels are made in the fourth quarter.
3. Due to the seasonal nature of the construction industry
supplied by the registrant, interim results of operations of
each period are not necessarily indicative of earnings for the
year.
4. Accounts Receivable as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,008,132.
Second quarter bad debt charges, net of recoveries, were
$309,474 for 1998 and $346,752 for 1997. Year-to-date bad
debt charges, net of recoveries, were $658,223 for 1998 and
$642,082 for 1997.
5. Several accounting pronouncements have been released since the
beginning of the year. Among these are Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Company
has no derivative instuments or hedging activities. Adoption
of the new pronouncements is not expected to materially effect
the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
6. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to current period presentation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generally generates its cash needs through: (1) cash
flow from operations; (2) short-term borrowings, (3) bank lines of
credit arrangements, when needed; and (4) additional long-term debt,
when needed.
During the first six months of 1998, the Company increased long-term
debt $7.5 million and short-term debt $8.3 million. The additional
funds were used to purchase $10.6 million in capital assets, pay off
$2.4 million in long-term debt and to finance operations. The
Company's financial condition remains strong with working capital
of $73.8 million and a current ratio of 2.2. Management believes
the Company has adequate financial resources to meet the needs of
the foreseeable future.
Results of Operations
Second-quarter sales of $119.9 million were aided by a 10 percent
increase in June sales causing second-quarter sales to exceed the
$117.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 1997. Hot, dry
weather in June boosted demand for air conditioning and water
systems equipment and facilitated new construction projects. Air
conditioning sales rose eight percent for the quarter, followed by
a three percent rise in industrial sales and a one percent increase
for plumbing sales. Electrical sales declined eight percent. Sales
for the first six months of 1998 were $223.8 million compared to
$228.6 million for the year-earlier period.
The gross margin of profit for the second quarter was 19.8 percent
compared to 19.4 percent for the year-earlier period. Operating
expenses for the quarter of $21.8 million were three percent less
than the $22.6 million a year ago. For the first six months,
operating expenses were down five percent compared to a year ago.
Interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date increased 9.4
percent and 8.3 percent, respectively. The increases are due to
higher borrowings.
We are encouraged by June's strong sales performance and the
improved bottom-line at the mid-point in the year.
Included in this discussion are forward-looking management comments
and other statements which reflect management's current outlook for
the future. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to, general business and economic conditions,
climatic conditions, competitive pricing pressures, and product
availability.
Year 2000
The Company has completed an inventory and assessment of all
computer operating systems and active application programs. Year
2000 remediation for all internally-generated and purchased software
is expected to be completed by August 1999. There are also Year 2000
issues in a number of areas outside of the operating systems. These
include, but are not limited to, software in goods purchased for
resale, security systems, communication systems, mechanical
equipment and software used by integrated supply customers. The
Company expects all material issues in these areas, if under its
control, to be corrected no later than August 1999. The Year 2000
issue and remediation is not expected to be material to the
Company's business, operations, or financial condition.
