The accompanying notes are an integral part of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts
of Hurco Companies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are an industrial
automation company that designs and produces interactive computer controls,
software and computerized machine systems for the worldwide metal cutting and
metal forming industries.
The condensed financial information as of January 31, 2001 and 2000 is unaudited
but includes all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair presentation
of our financial position at those dates and our results of operations and cash
flows for the three months then ended. It is suggested that these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 2000.
2. LICENSE FEE INCOME, NET
From time to time, our wholly owned subsidiary, IMS Technology, Inc., enters
into agreements for the licensing of its interactive computer numerical control
patents. License fees received or receivable under a fully paid-up license, for
which there are no future performance requirements or contingencies, are
recognized in income, net of legal fees and expenses, at the time the license
agreement is executed. License fees receivable in periodic installments that are
contingent upon the continuing validity of a licensed patent are recognized in
income, net of legal fees and expenses, over the life of the licensed patent.
3. HEDGING
On November 1, 2000, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, we recorded a transition
adjustment upon the adoption of the standard to recognize the difference between
the fair value of the derivative instruments recorded on the balance sheet and
the previous carrying amount of those derivatives. The effect of this transition
adjustment was insignificant and is reflected in the Other Income (Expense) in
the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We also recorded a transition
adjustment of approximately $129,000 in Other Comprehensive Income to recognize
previously deferred net losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.
We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts periodically to hedge
certain forecast inter-company sales and forecast inter-company and third-party
purchases denominated in foreign currencies (primarily Pound Sterling, Euro and
New Taiwan Dollar). The purpose of these instruments is to mitigate the risk
that the U.S. Dollar net cash inflows and outflows resulting from the sales and
purchases denominated in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by
changes in exchange rates. These forward contracts have been designated as cash
flow hedge instruments, and are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet at fair value in Other Current Assets and Accrued Liabilities. Gains and
losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge contracts are
deferred in Other Comprehensive Income and recognized as an adjustment to the
related sale or purchase transaction in the period that the transaction occurs.
During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2001, $40,000 of net losses on cash
flow hedge contracts were reclassified from Other Comprehensive Income to Cost
of Sales.
At January 31, 2001 we had $252,000 of unrealized losses related to cash flow
hedges deferred in Other Comprehensive Income, which we expect to recognize in
Cost of Sales within the next twelve months. Cash flow hedge contracts mature at
various dates through October 2001.
We also enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect
against the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on receivables and payables
denominated in foreign currencies. These derivative instruments are not
designated as hedges under SFAS 133 and as a result, changes in fair value are
reported currently as Other Income (Expense) in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations consistent with the transaction gain or loss on the related foreign
denominated receivable or payable.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average
number of our shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common
share give effect to outstanding stock options using the treasury method. Common
stock equivalents totaled 38,000 shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $731,000 as of January 31, 2001 and
$741,000 as of October 31, 2000.
6. INVENTORIES
Inventories, priced at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market,
are summarized below (in thousands):

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate in a single segment: industrial automation systems. We design and
produce interactive computer control systems and software and computerized
machine systems for sale through our distribution network to the worldwide metal
working market. We also provide software options, computer control upgrades,
accessories and replacement parts for our products, as well as customer service
and training support.
8. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
We have previously recorded a reserve for anticipated costs associated with the
restructuring of a subsidiary to convert its operations from manufacturing
computer controls to sales and service of computerized machine systems.
At January 31, 2001, the restructuring reserve balance was approximately
$634,000 and consisted of the following:

9. STOCK REPURCHASE
In December 2000, we repurchased 278,001 shares of our common stock for
approximately $1,200,000 from a related party, Brynwood Partners II L.P. The
repurchased shares are reflected as a reduction in common stock.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward-looking
statements". For a description of risks and uncertainties related to
forward-looking statements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended October 31, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended January 31, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended
January 31, 2000
Sales and service fees for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $25,933,000,
approximately 6% higher than those recorded in the 2000 period, in spite of
continuing unfavorable effects of the stronger U.S. dollar, particularly in
relation to the Euro and Sterling, when translating sales made in foreign
countries. At comparable exchange rates, net sales for the first fiscal quarter
would have been $27,185,000, an increase of 11%, as compared to the prior year
period. The increase in sales and service fees was the result of an increase in
shipments of computerized machine systems. Sales and service fees in North
America and Southeast Asia were substantially unchanged from the prior year
while sales and service fees in continental Europe increased 11% in current
dollars, despite the weaker Euro. Unit shipments of computerized machine systems
in Europe increased 22% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
New order bookings for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $28,110,000,
compared to $23,187,000 for the corresponding 2000 period, an increase of 21%.
Orders for computerized machine systems increased $5,731,000 or 33%, on a 22%
increase in unit orders, despite the weaker foreign currency effect. Machine
system orders in the U.S. were 17% lower than the prior year period in units,
primarily on lower priced entry-level products due to weaker market conditions,
but increased 8% in dollars due to a larger percentage of higher value machines
in the total sales mix. Machine systems orders outside the United States
increased 48% in current dollars on a 56% increase in units, fueled by record
level orders in Germany. Orders for computerized machine systems constituted 82%
of total new order bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to 75%
in the 2000 period. Backlog was $13,800,000 at January 31, 2001, compared to
$10,200,000 at the end of fiscal 2000 and $6,800,000 one year ago.
Gross profit margin for the most recent fiscal quarter was 25.5%, or 1.9
percentage points lower than the prior year period, due primarily to the
unfavorable effects of the stronger U.S. dollar on sales made in European
countries, whereas a substantial portion of Cost of Sales is sourced in U.S.
dollars or currencies, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar, that are relatively
stronger against the U.S. dollar than those in Europe. The unfavorable currency
effect on gross profit, combined with a 5% increase in operating expenses,
resulted in a $372,000 decline in operating income.
License fee income increased $263,000 as a result of fully paid up license
agreements entered into during the first quarter of fiscal 2001.
Approximately $71,000 of license fee income in the first quarter of fiscal
2001 and 2000 relates to license agreements previously entered into that are
recognized in income over the remaining life of the patent, which expires at
the end of fiscal 2001. The increase in license fees along with reduced
interest expense, as a result of lower borrowings, contributed to an
increase in net income after tax of $108,000, or 24%. The provision for
income taxes is primarily the result of earnings of a foreign subsidiary.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
We manage our foreign currency exposure through the use of foreign currency
forward exchange contracts. We do not speculate in the financial markets and,
therefore, do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes. We also
moderate our currency risk related to significant purchase commitments with
certain foreign vendors through price adjustment agreements that provide for a
sharing of, or otherwise limit, the potential adverse effect of currency
fluctuations on the costs of purchased products. See Item 3 below and Note 3 to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At January 31, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5,192,000 compared to
$3,384,000 at October 31, 2000. Cash used for operations totaled $1,022,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to $5,022,000 provided by operations
in the same period of fiscal 2000.
Net working capital was $31,976,000 at January 31, 2001, compared to $26,071,000
at October 31, 2000. The increase is attributable to increases in inventory and
receivables that were partially offset by increases in payables and accruals.
Capital investments for the first fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2001
consisted principally of expenditures for software development projects and
purchases of equipment. Cash used for investing activities during the quarter
were funded by cash flow from operations and bank credit facilities.
We paid the final installment of $1,786,000 on our term debt during the first
fiscal quarter. We also repurchased 278,001 shares of our common stock during
the quarter for $1,221,000. These shares are reflected as a reduction of common
stock outstanding in calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share.
We were in compliance with all loan covenants at January 31, 2001. We believe
that anticipated cash flow from operations and available borrowings under credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements in the
foreseeable future.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Interest on our bank borrowings is affected by changes in prevailing U.S. and
European interest rates and/or Libor. The interest rates on the Libor portion of
our bank credit facilities are based upon a ratio of total indebtedness to cash
flow for the preceding twelve month period and are payable at Libor plus an
amount ranging from 1% to 2% based upon a prescribed formula. At January 31,
2001, outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facilities were $7,300,000
and our total indebtedness was $8,300,000. The interest rate on the Libor
portion of our bank debt was Libor plus 1.125%.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
In fiscal 2001, approximately 59% of our sales and service fees, including
export sales, were derived from foreign markets. All of our computerized machine
systems and computer numerical control systems, as well as certain proprietary
service parts, are sourced by our U.S.-based engineering and manufacturing
division and re-invoiced to our foreign sales and service subsidiaries,
primarily in their functional currencies.
A significant portion of our products is sourced from foreign suppliers or built
to our specifications by either our wholly-owned subsidiary in Taiwan, or
contract manufacturers overseas. These purchases are predominantly in foreign
currencies and in many cases our arrangements with these suppliers include
foreign currency risk sharing agreements, which reduce (but do not eliminate)
the effects of currency fluctuations on product costs. The predominant portion
of our exchange rate risk associated with product purchases relates to the New
Taiwan Dollar.
We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts from time to time to hedge the
cash flow risk related to forecast inter-company sales, and forecast
inter-company and third-party purchases denominated in, or pegged to, foreign
currencies. We also enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to
provide a natural hedge against the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on
receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not speculate
in the financial markets and, therefore, do not enter into these contracts for
trading purposes.
Forward contracts for the sale or purchase of foreign currencies as of January
31, 2001 which are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 were as
