Page 6 of 13 SUPREME INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPINION OF MANAGEMENT The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all of the information and financial statement disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein includes all adjustments necessary to reflect a fair statement of the interim periods reported. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The December 31, 2000 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. NOTE B - INVENTORIES Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the first-in, first-out method, consist of the following: March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------ ------------- Raw materials.................$ 19,367,874 $ 19,822,278 Work-in-progress.............. 4,868,149 5,384,975 Finished goods................ 6,911,642 6,608,217 ------------ ------------ $ 31,147,665 $ 31,815,470 The valuation of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods inventories at interim dates is based upon a gross profit percentage method and bills of materials. The Company has historically had favorable and unfavorable quarterly adjustments resulting from annual physical inventories. The Company is continuing to refine its costing procedures for valuation of interim inventories in an effort to minimize book to physical inventory adjustments. Page 7 of 13 NOTE C - INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was 37.9% compared to 40.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decline is primarily the result of fluctuations in taxable income and varying tax rates in the states in which the Company transacts business. NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE The number of shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows (in Thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 2001 2000 ------- ------- Weighted average number of shares outstanding (used in computation of basic earnings per share) 10,842 11,301 Effect of dilutive stock options 23 4 ------ ------ Diluted shares outstanding (used in computation of diluted earnings per share) 10,865 11,305 ====== ====== NOTE E - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings and any derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. The Company's interest rate swap agreements are derivative instruments and the changes in fair value of these financial instruments, which are cash flow hedges, are reported in Page 8 of 13 other comprehensive income. Based on the Company's derivative positions at March 31, 2001, the Company recorded a net liability of $223,000 for the fair value of its derivative portfolio and a corresponding charge to other comprehensive income. NOTE F - RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain items in the accompanying March 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on stockholders' equity, net income or cash flows as previously presented. ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Results of Operations Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 decreased $18.1 million to $55.9 million from $74.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Included in revenues and cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 are purchased chassis. Comparable amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 have been reclassified to conform with this presentation. The Company's large national fleet customers accounted for approximately 80% of the decreased revenues. The quarter-to-quarter reduction in fleet revenue was a combination of fewer orders and the change in the timing of fleet shipments in 2001 compared to 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 15.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to 17.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Despite an improvement in material cost, overall gross profit declined due to lower revenues, the fixed nature of certain overhead expenses and a 33.8% increase in utility costs as a result of higher electrical and natural gas prices. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 10.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 9.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The reduced revenues adversely impacted this area due to the fixed nature of certain general and administrative expenses. Page 9 of 13 Interest expense decreased $136,567 to $742,926 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $879,493 for the prior year comparable quarter. The interest expense reduction resulted from the reduction of long-term debt which began during the second quarter of 2000 and continued through the first quarter of 2001. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,174,211 compared to $2,809,107 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.11 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $.25 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the Company's revolving credit agreement were the major sources of funds for operations, capital expenditures and debt servicing during the first quarter of 2001. The largest components of cash provided by operations were increased accounts payable of $3.5 million, net income of $1.2 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million. The increase in accounts payable is a result of changing the Company's check run dates from the 10th, 20th and 30th of each month to the 5th, 15th and 25th. This change was implemented to facilitate quicker month-end closings and resulted in five additional days of accounts payable at March 31, 2001. The Company invested $.4 million in property, plant and equipment during the first quarter of 2001 compared to $1.7 million during the first three months of 2000. This reduction is a result of the Company's efforts to limit 2001 capital expenditures to no more than the estimated 2001 annual depreciation and amortization expenses of $4.0 million, assuming no plant purchases or acquisitions. The significant financing activities which used cash during the Company's first quarter of 2001 included a $3.0 million net reduction in the components of the Company's revolving credit agreement, a $1.0 million reduction of term debt and $.4 million used to purchase 127,575 shares of treasury stock. The Company believes that cash flows generated from operations and funds available under the Company's revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs during 2001.
