Page 6 of 14 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, 1997 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: June 30, December 31, 1998 1997 --------------- --------------- Raw materials........... $ 17,332,087 $ 16,896,669 Work-in-progress........ 4,588,421 4,553,082 Finished goods.......... 8,207,739 6,955,035 --------------- --------------- $ 30,128,247 $ 28,404,786 =============== =============== 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 adjustments in the third and fourth quarters resulting from the annual physical inventories. The Company is continuing to refine its costing procedures for valuation of interim inventories in an effort to minimize the annual book to physical inventory adjustments. NOTE C - DEBT On June 23, 1998 the Company signed an amendment to it's revolving credit agreement that increased it's borrowing availability to $18,000,000 from $14,000,000 for the period July 1 through January 31 and to $25,000,000 from $20,000,000 for the period February 1 through June 30. The amendment also provides for the Company to reduce it's interest rate and commitment fee based on it's leverage ratio, as defined by the bank. The amendment requires that working capital not fall below $10,000,000 ($38.7 million at June 30, 1998) and tangible capital funds not be less than $30,000,000 plus an amount equal to 50% of cumulative net income ($48.8 million at June 30, 1998). The amendment also deleted the covenants restricting dividend payments and limiting capital expenditures. The term of the credit agreement has been extended through April 30, 2001. The Company had $3.3 million available under its revolving credit agreement on June 30, 1998. Page 7 of 14 NOTE D - STOCK DIVIDEND On May 12, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock dividend payable on June 1, 1998, to shareholders of record on May 25, 1998. NOTE E - EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," retroactively for all periods presented. SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to present "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by reflecting potential dilution from the exercise of outstanding stock options. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the stock dividends declared and paid in 1998 and 1997. Page 8 of 14 ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Results of Operations Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased $5.0 million to $61.3 million from $56.3 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased $16.4 million to $116.8 million from $100.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Basic earnings per share were $.32 cents for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $.31 cents for the comparable prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $.32 cents for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $.30 cents for comparable prior year quarter. Basic earnings per share increased $.08 cents to $.54 cents from $.46 cents for the six months ended June 30, 1998 while diluted earnings per share increased $.07 cents to $.53 cents from the comparable prior year period. Basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented have been adjusted for the common stock dividends declared and paid in 1998 and 1997. The Company continues to experience growth in all of it's product lines with the most significant gains coming from its dry freight, insulated and bus products. The Company's new product lines, trolley cars, armored trucks and Spartan service vans, accounted for 5.4% of the Company's revenue during the six months ended June 30, 1998. The armored truck growth is being hampered by a chassis shortage caused by increased demand for Allison heavy duty transmissions. The Company's gross profit percentage increased .6% to 19.1% from 18.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and .6% to 18.0% from 17.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 when compared to the comparable prior year periods. The Company's raw material and direct labor costs were relatively unchanged as a percentage of revenues when compared to the comparable prior year periods. The improvement in gross profit for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 is attributed to fixed expenses in the overhead pool that do not increase when revenues increase. Selling, general and administrative expense were 8.6% and 8.8% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 respectively compared to 7.9% and 8.4% for the prior year comparable periods. Interest expense was .8% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to .7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and .8% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997. The increase of $76,046 in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 and $143,214 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is attributed to increased pool chassis interest combined with higher borrowings under the Company's revolving credit line to finance the increase in inventories and accounts receivable resulting from the increase in revenues in 1998. Page 9 of 14 The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 was 41.2% and 40.9%, respectively, compared to 39.6% and 39.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. The lower effective tax rate in 1997 was principally attributable to research and experimentation tax credits. Liquidity and Capital Resources Funds available under the Company's revolving credit agreement were adequate to finance operations and provide for capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Net income of $5.9 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million were the most significant components of operating cash flow. Increases in both inventories and accounts receivable were the most significant uses of operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company invested $3.3 million in property, plant and equipment during the first six months of 1998. Major capacity additions were completed in Goshen, Indiana; Jonestown, Pennsylvania; and Griffin, Georgia. These additions increased the Company's capacity by approximately 20% over that available in 1997. As discussed in Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on June 23, 1998 the Company amended its credit agreement. The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations and amounts available under it's revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs during the remaining part of 1998 and for the next twelve months. The Company is in the process of implementing new computer software that will allow it to process transactions in the year 2000 and beyond as well as provide better operating information more timely once completely installed. The Company has established an implementation team and provided them with the training and resources necessary to have all Company facilities year 2000 compliant well in advance of December 31, 1999. Page 10 of 14 This report contains forward-looking statements, other than historical facts, which reflect the view of the Company's management with respect to future events. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, and can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations include, without limitation, limitations on the availability of chassis on which the Company's product is dependent, availability of raw materials and severe interest rate increases. The Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
