This information is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Registrant's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented have been included. The results for the period ended March 31,1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. These financial statements, notes and analyses should be read in conjunction with the Registrant's audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in its 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. 2. Net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods presented. (See Note6) 3. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined on a last in, first out (LIFO) basis, and consist of the following. March 31,1997 December 31, 1996 Raw materials $218,300 $370,500 Work in process 111,800 100,800 Finished goods 377,400 364,100 -------- -------- $707,500 $835,400 4. The Registrant has a line of credit agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, which line of credit allows the Registrant to borrow the lesser of $1,000,000 or an amount determined by a formula applied to accounts receivable. Unused borrowing capacity was $346,100 at March 31, 1997. Amounts borrowed bear interest at prime rate plus 2% per annum and are secured by the Registrant's assets along with The Gregory Company's assets. This line of credit expires on March 31, 1998. 5.	Effective as of the beginning of 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes by adopting SFAS 109. The cumulative effect of this change on years prior to 1993 increased net income for 1993 by $1,434,800 offset by a valuation allowance of $717,400. The cumulative effect resulted primarily from the recognition of the tax effects of state and federal net operating loss carryforwards and net deductible temporary differences. Financial statements presented for fiscal years prior to 1993 reflect accounting for income taxes under the prior deferred method. Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following at: January 1, 1997 January 1,1996 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 215,600 $ 197,000 Accrued expenses 184,300 142,300 Loss carryforwards 1,157,800 1,360,500 Tax credits 175,700 178,600 Other 107,800 116,400 ---------- ---------- 1,841,200 1,994,800 Deferred tax asset valuation allowance (1,191,800) (1,383,800) Total deferred taxes, net $649,400 $611,000 6. Net Income Per Share Primary earnings per share were calculated as follows: Quarter ended March 31, 1997 1996 Net income $ 343,500 $ 100,600 Average common shares outstanding 3,298,311 3,298,311 Add: Exercise of options reduced by the number of shares purchased with proceeds N/A N/A Add: Exercise of warrants reduced by the number of shares purchased with proceeds N/A N/A Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding 3,298,311 3,298,311 Earnings per share $0.10 $0.03 Primary earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants during each year. Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) Fully diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows: Quarter Ended March 31 1997 1996 Net income $ 343,500 $ 100,600 Average common shares outstanding 3,298,311 3,298,311 Add: Exercise of options reduced by the number of shares purchased with proceeds N/A N/A Add: Exercise of warrants reduced by the number of shares purchased with proceeds N/A N/A Add: conversion of convertible debt into shares N/A N/A Adjusted weighted average shares outstanding 3,298,311 3,298,311 Earnings per common share assuming full dilution $0.10 $0.03 Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for the dilutive after-tax effect of the interest expense associated with the convertible debt, by the sum of the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding and shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants, and upon conversion of convertible debt during each year. Part - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) Item 2 FAFCO, Inc. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Unaudited) Results of Operations Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 increased by 26.8% from $2,284,400 in 1996 to $2,895,900 in 1997. Revenues increased during the first quarter of 1997 over the corresponding quarter in 1996 due to increased unit sales of the Company's pool panel products, partially offset by the effect of discontinuance of the Company's automated swimming pool controls. Cost of goods sold decreased from $1,323,500 (57.9% of net sales) in first the quarter of 1996 to $1,644,600 (56.8% of net sales) in the corresponding quarter in 1997. These decreases in cost of goods sold were due primarily to the spreading of reduced overhead costs over higher net sales. Marketing and selling expenses were relatively stable in absolute dollars at $469,100 and $469,800 in the first quarter of 1996 and 1997 respectively. Marketing and selling expenses declined as a percentage of net sales from 20.5% in 1996 to 16.2% in 1997 due entirely to the increased level of sales experienced in 1997 compared with 1996. General and administrative expenses increased in absolute dollars from $312,000 in the first quarter of 1996 to $340,800 in the same quarter in 1997, while decreasing as a percentage of sales from 13.7% in 1996 to 11.8% in 1997. Research and development expenses were relatively stable in absolute dollars at $52,600 and $55,000 in the first quarter of 1996 and 1997 respectively. Research and development expenses declined as a percentage of net sales from 2.3% in 1996 to 1.9% in 1997 due to the increased sales in the first quarter of 1997. Net interest expense was relatively stable in absolute dollars at $40,400 and $42,900 in the first quarter of 1996 and 1997 respectively while decreasing as a percentage of net sales from 1.8% in 1996 to 1.5% in 1997. Other income (net) included $15,800 in refunds of prior year's insurance premiums in the first quarter of 1997 compared with $15,900 in the first quarter of 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 1997, the Registrant's inventories had decreased to $707,500 from $835,400 at December 31,1996. This decrease was due mainly to aggressive management of inventories resulting from increased planning accuracy and purchasing strategy. At March 31, 1997, the Registrant's accounts payable and other accrued expenses had increased to $1,245,900 from $1,037,800 at December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily due to decreased cash flow during the first quarter of 1997 as a result of the Registrant's "Early Buy" program from Above Ground Pool systems and increased sales levels experienced during the quarter. At March 31, 1997, the Registrant's accounts receivable had increased to $2,341,200 from $1,890,700 at December 31, 1996 due mainly to the effect increased sales levels of the Company's pool panel products along with the Company's "Early Buy" program for Above Ground Pool panel sales which was introduced in 1996. Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) At March 31, 1997, the Registrant's accrued compensation and benefits had increased to $295,800 from $187,000 at December 31, 1996, due mainly to the fact that the December 1996 level was abnormally low due to heavy use of vacation while the Company was closed in the latter half of December. At March 31, 1997, the Registrant's current ratio was 1.58 to 1 compared with 1.54 to 1 at December 31, 1996. The Registrant had working capital of $1,417,800 at March 31, 1997 compared with $1,202,700 at December 31, 1996. Total assets exceeded total liabilities by $1,437,800 at March 31, 1997 compared with $1,094,300 at December 31, 1996. The Registrant believes that its cash flow from operations along with its available line of credit will be sufficient to support operations during the next twelve months. Significant Accounting Policies - Income Taxes Effective as of the beginning of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), on a prospective basis. The new standard requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. See Note 5 of Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For periods prior to 1993, the Company followed the deferred method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.
