LINCOLN LOGS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 1996 AND 1995
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
The results of operations for the three month periods ended April
30, 1996 and 1995 are not indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year, due to the seasonal nature of the business.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Primary earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the respective periods. The weighted average number of common
shares used to compute primary earnings per share was 945,759 for each
of the three month periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995.
Fully diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share is
computed based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods, assuming
the convertible subordinated debentures were converted into common
stock at the beginning of the period after giving retroactive effect
to the elimination of interest expense, net of income tax effect,
applicable to the convertible subordinated debentures. Fully diluted
earnings per share is not presented as it would be anti-dilutive.
(3) INCOME TAXES
The Company accrues income tax expense on an interperiod basis as
necessary, and accrues income tax benefits only when it is more likely
than not that such tax benefits will be realized. No income tax
benefit was accrued in the three month periods ended April 30, 1996
and 1995.
(4) NOTES PAYABLE
During fiscal years 1996 and 1997 the Company continued its Cant
Financing Program , which was initiated in 1994 to raise capital for
the purchase of pine and cedar cants (logs) to be held in inventory
and then used by the Company in the manufacture of its log home
building packages. The notes are generally collateralized by accounts
receivable or the cant inventory thus purchased. Notes issued in the
current Cant Financing Program are for a fixed term and amount and
bear interest at an annual rate of 18% payable monthly. As of April
30, 1996, a total of $450,000 has been loaned to the Company by
- 7 -
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
various individuals, including directors and shareholders; of this
total, $430,000 is due on June 30, 1996 and $20,000 is due on June 30,
1997.
(5) SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
During the three months ended April 30, 1996, cash was paid in the
amounts of $50,642 for interest and $349 for income taxes. During the
three months ended April 30, 1995, cash was paid in the amounts of
$32,088 for interest and $366 for income taxes.
Noncash investing and finance activity:
During the three month period ended April 30, 1995, the following
transactions took place:
-The Company financed $27,293 of the purchase of an asset having
a cost of $28,293.
-The Company reclassified a $50,000 accrued liability due to an
officer to a note bearing the terms of the Cant Financing Program.
(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is defendant in a lawsuit claiming breach of contract,
fraudulent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance and violation of
the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act in connection with a
contemplated acquisition. In the opinion of the Company's attorneys
and management, the range of possible loss related to this matter is
$50,000 to $175,000 and it is expected that the amount of the actual
loss will not materially exceed the amount provided for in the
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended April 30, 1996 vs. April 30, 1995:
Sales, net of commissions, amounted to $864,504 for the three
months ended April 30, 1996 as compared to $870,801 in the same period
in 1995, a decrease of $6,297, or less than 1%. When compared with
the previous year, there was a 10% decrease in the number of home
units shipped while the average sales value per home unit shipped
increased 11%. The increase in sales value per home unit shipped is
the result of an increase in the number of larger and custom home
packages shipped in the current period and the impact of price
increases put into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Gross profits amounted to $251,697, or 29% of net sales for the
three months ended April 30, 1996 as compared to $218,565, or 25% for
the same period in 1995. In realizing an increase in gross profit,
the Company has benefited from a catalog price increase put into place
at the start of the current fiscal year and larger average sales value
per home shipped during the current period.
Total operating expenses of $632,659, or 73% of sales, have
increased $33,231 from the previous year's amount of $599,428, 69% of
sales. The increase in total operating expenses amounted to 5%, and
was due to the Company's commitment to increase its market share
through an additional sales office as well as increased national
advertising.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company was in a negative working capital position at both
April 30, 1996 and April 30, 1995 of $1,776,994 and $1,764,123,
respectively. For the three month period ended April 30, 1996,
working capital decreased $391,015 as compared to a decrease of
$462,049 in the same period in 1995. As of the Company's fiscal year
end at January 31, 1996, current liabilities exceeded current assets
by $1,385,979. Working capital was primarily consumed during both
reporting periods by the repayment of long-term debt, purchases of
property, plant and equipment , and, in 1995 by payment for a
trademark agreement.
For the three months ended April 30, 1996 the Company's operations
were a net provider of $86,230 of cash, while in the comparable period
of the previous year it was a net provider of cash in the amount of
$14,999. Overall, the Company experienced a net increase in its cash
position of $66,534 during the three months ended April 30, 1996 as
compared with a decrease in its cash position of $26,507 during the
three months ended April 30, 1995. During the three months ended
-9-
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES-continued
April 30, 1996 and 1995, cash provided by operations and additional
short term borrowings was primarily consumed by the repayment of
long-term debt obligations, additions to property, plant and
equipment, and, in 1995, payment for a trademark agreement.
As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net
loss during the quarter ended April 30, 1996 of $412,003. As of April
30, 1996 current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,776,994
and the Company had a net capital deficiency of $480,510. The Company
has obtained additional funds during the period through its Cant
Financing Program. It has not, however, been successful in securing
working capital through commercial lenders or governmental agency
sources. Funds generated by operations and the Cant Financing
Program, together with the assistance of major vendors who have
provided extended payment terms to the Company are expected to be
sufficient for the remainder of the current fiscal year. There is,
however, no assurance that the Company will be able to generate
adequate financing from these sources. A reduction in the Company's
sales activity, the inability to extend borrowing under the Cant
Financing Program when the notes mature in June 1996, or a reduction
in vendor assistance may further reduce its liquidity and, eventually,
force the Company to cease operations.
OTHER MATTERS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This statement has no
impact on the Company's financial statements because the carrying
value of the Company's long-lived assets are considered by management
to be recoverable based upon estimated cash flows in future periods.
