Interim Financial Information The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended 1997. Operating results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. 2. Basic Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 2,948,130 and 2,910,164, respectively. THE YORK WATER COMPANY Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Water operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $99,172 or 2.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. Consumption was up slightly in all sectors. Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $5,911 or .3% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. Increases in water analysis fees, pension expense, year 2000 system maintenance, main maintenance, deferred compensation and retirement costs caused the increase. Workers compensation and package commercial insurance credits, lower meter reading expenses, reduced postage, legal fees, and lower hydrant maintenance costs almost negated the increase. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $21,060 or 5.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to increased plant investment. Federal and state income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $77,812 or 24.5% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997 principally as a result of an increase in taxable net income. The effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 34.3% and 28.8%, respectively. Allowance for funds used during construction for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased $19,364 when compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was due to two main projects at the Southern York County main extension and the Hametown Booster Station. Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $1,458,212, a decrease of $94,092 (6.1%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997. Water operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $109,864 (1.3%) compared to six months ended June 30, 1997. Consumption was higher in the residential, commercial and other sectors, while declining slightly in the industrial sector. Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and taxes, for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $127,204 or 3.9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997. The main causes of the increase were higher pension expense, main, service and filter plant maintenance, and additional deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan liabilities. Expenses for water analysis required by the Safe Drinking Water Act and computer system maintenance for the year 2000 added to the increase. These increases were significantly offset by workers compensation and package commercial premium credits, reduced legal fees, lower postage and lower meter reading expenses. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $42,120 or 5.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 due to increased plant investment. Federal and state income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $33,828 or 4.7% when compared to the same period in 1997 principally as a result of an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rates for the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 34.1% and 31.7%, respectively. Allowance for funds used during construction for the first six months of 1998 increased $42,645 when compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was due to two main projects at the Southern York County main extension and the Hametown Booster Station. Rate Developments Within the last several years the Company has filed written applications for rate increases with the PPUC and has been granted rate relief as a result of such requests. The most recent formal rate request was filed by the Company on May 9, 1996 seeking a 9.6% increase in annual revenues. Effective September 5, 1996, the PPUC authorized an increase in rates designed to produce approximately $960,000 in additional annual revenues, an increase of approximately 6.0%. The Company does not expect to file for another rate increase until after 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the first half of 1998, the per capita volume of water sold did not significantly change compared to the first half of 1997. The Company does not anticipate any change in the level of water usage which would have a material impact on future results of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had $2,368,371 of construction expenditures. The Company financed such expenditures through internally generated funds, customers' advances, short-term borrowings, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan (stock issued in lieu of cash dividends) and employee stock purchase plan. During the first half of 1998, net cash provided by operating activities exceeded net cash used in investing and financing activities. The Company anticipates that during the remainder of 1998 net cash used in investing and financing activities will exceed net cash provided by operating activities. Borrowings against the Company's lines of credit, proceeds from the issuance of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan (stock issued in lieu of cash dividends) and employee stock purchase plan, and customers' advances are expected to be used to satisfy the need for additional cash. As of June 30, 1998, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $1,188,599. Short-term borrowings from lines of credit as of June 30, 1998 were $500,000. The Company maintains lines of credit aggregating $20,000,000. Loans granted under these lines of credit bear interest based on the prime or Libor rates plus basis points, as defined. The Company is not required to maintain compensating balances on its lines of credit. Certain statements contained herein and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward- looking statements address activities or events which the Company expects will or may occur in the future. The Company cautions that a number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made on behalf of the Company. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In January 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended regulations and forms, including regulations S-X and S-K, to clarify and expand existing disclosure requirements about accounting policies for certain derivative instruments, and to add new disclosure requirements about the risk of loss from changes in market rates or prices which are inherent in derivatives. Adoption by the Company of the disclosure requirements relating to risk of loss, which requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 1998, did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." These statements establish standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components and for reporting information about business segments and products in financial statements, and are effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. Adoption of these statements did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS 132) which amends the disclosure requirements of Statements No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" (SFAS 87), No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits" (SFAS 88), and No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (SFAS 106). The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity as of June 30, 1998. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Position No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
