NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1995 and 1994,
and both the condensed consolidated statements of operations and retained
earnings and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-
month and three-month periods then ended have been prepared by the Company
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for all periods
presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 1994.
2. Seasonality
Historically, educational publishing has been subject to the seasonality
associated with the educational year, resulting in a concentration of sales in
the third calendar quarter. Therefore, the results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 should not necessarily be considered indicative of
the results for the year ending December 31, 1995.
Item 2. Management's_Discussion_and_Analysis_of_Financial_Condition
and_Results_of_Operations
Results_of_Operations
Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 1995 were 16% higher than in the
same period in 1994. The Catholic School and Parish Editions of Coming_to_
Faith, and New_Progress_in_Mathematics and Vocabulary_Workshop all contributed
to the increase.
Manufacturing costs in 1995 remained higher due primarily to increased paper
prices. The Company modestly raised the prices for its products at the
beginning of 1995 and expects to offset most of the remainder of these higher
costs for paper by reasonably increasing its prices in the third quarter of
1995. Editorial expenses were lower in 1995, reflecting the completion of the
revision of several major series. Promotional expenses related to those series
decreased from 1994 levels. General and administrative expenses also were
lower in 1995.
Interest expense increased in 1995 due to higher levels of borrowing and higher
interest rates, while interest income decreased because of a reduction in funds
available for investment. Cash discounts related to increased paper purchases
in the six months ended June 30, 1995 accounted for most of the change in
"other income."
The provision and credits for income taxes in 1995 and 1994 were based on the
effective
rates estimated for each full year.
Liquidity_and_Capital_Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995 decreased by $255,000 from the
June 30, 1994 level. Working capital decreased by $404,000 from the
comparable date in 1994, primarily due to greater prepublication cost and
editorial expenditures in the year ended December 31, 1994. These expenditures
were incurred to complete the revisions of New_Progress_in_Mathematics and the
Parish Edition of Coming_to_Faith, and to begin the revision of the Catholic
School Edition of Coming_to_Faith. Because of the reduced availability of
paper in 1995, the Company purchased significantly more paper for inventory
than it normally does during the six months ended June 30, 1995 to ensure an
adequate supply for its printing requirements. Inventory levels also reflected
the increased printing requirements of the newly revised series.
Cash flow provided by operations has generally been sufficient to finance
investment in new products, equipment and facilities, dividends paid to
shareholders and the repayment of short-term bank borrowing. Management
believes this will continue to be true in 1995.
In July of 1995, the Company increased its lines of credit with its banks, from
$9,000,000 to $10,500,000. Each year, because of the seasonality associated
with educational publishing, the Company must draw on its lines of credit.
During the latter part of each year, such borrowing is repaid and excess funds
are available for investment in cash equivalents and short-term securities.
At June 30, 1995 and 1994, such short-term borrowing amounted to $8,650,000
and $7,200,000, respectively.
