ANUHCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include Anuhco and all of its subsidiary
companies (the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed financial
statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and have not been
examined or reviewed by independent public accountants. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of
operations have been made.
Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
from these statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end
of the most recent fiscal year. Anuhco believes that the disclosures contained
herein, when read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included, or incorporated by reference, in Anuhco's Form 10-K/A-3, filed with
the SEC on May 5, 1997, are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested, therefore, that these statements be read in
conjunction with the statements and notes included, or incorporated by
reference, in the aforementioned report on Form 10-K/A-3.
2. ACQUISITION OF PREMIUM FINANCE SUBSIDIARIES
On March 29, 1996, Anuhco completed the acquisition of all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Universal Premium Acceptance Corporation and UPAC of
California, Inc. (together referred to as "UPAC"). UPAC and Agency Premium
Resource, Inc. ("APR"), the Company's other finance subsidiary, offer short-term
collateralized financing of commercial and personal insurance premiums through
approved insurance agencies throughout the United States. At March 31, 1996,
UPAC had outstanding net finance receivables of approximately $30 million. This
transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Anuhco utilized a portion of its
available cash and short-term investments to consummate the purchase at a price
of approximately $12 million. The terms of the acquisition and the purchase
price resulted from negotiations between Anuhco and William H. Kopman, the
former sole shareholder of UPAC. In connection with the purchase of UPAC,
Anuhco has recorded goodwill of $6.6 million, which is being amortized on the
straight-line basis over 25 years.
In addition to the Stock Purchase Agreement by which Anuhco acquired all of
the UPAC stock, Anuhco entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Kopman.
Under the consulting agreement, Anuhco is entitled to consult with Mr. Kopman on
industry developments as well as UPAC operations through December 31, 1998. In
addition to retaining the services of Mr. Kopman under a consulting agreement,
certain executive management personnel of UPAC were retained under multiyear
employment agreements.
The unaudited pro forma operating results of Anuhco for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1996, assuming the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of
the period, were operating revenues of $26,449,000, net income of $334,000, and
net income per share of $0.05. The pro forma results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been obtained had
the acquisitions been made at the beginning of the respective periods, or of
results which may occur in the future.
3. PROFIT SHARING
In September 1988, the employees of Crouse Cartage Company ("Crouse"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Anuhco, approved the establishment of a profit
sharing plan ("the Plan"). The Plan is structured to allow all employees (union
and non-union) to ratably share 50% of Crouse's income before income taxes
(excluding extraordinary items and gains or losses on the sale of assets) in
return for a 15% reduction in their wages. Plan distributions are made on a
quarterly basis. The Plan was recertified in 1991 and 1994, and shall continue
in effect through March 31, 1998, or until a replacement of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement is reached between the parties, whichever is the later.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 1997 include an
accrual for profit sharing costs of $778,000. The accompanying consolidated
statements of income include profit sharing costs of $778,000 and $465,000 for
the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
4. FINANCING AGREEMENTS
In December, 1996, Anuhco, UPAC and APR Funding Corporation (a wholly-owned
subsidiary) entered into an extendible three year securitization agreement
whereby it can sell undivided interests in a designated pool of accounts
receivable on an ongoing basis. The maximum allowable amount of receivables to
be sold under the agreement is $50,000,000. This agreement replaced a similar
securitization agreement with another financial institution that was entered
into in October, 1995 and UPAC's secured credit agreement, dated July, 1994.
The purchaser permits principal collections to be reinvested in new financing
agreements. The Company had securitized receivables of $36.6 million at March
31, 1997. The cash flows from the sale of receivables are reported as investing
activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. The
securitized receivables are reflected as sold in the accompanying balance sheet.
The proceeds from the initial securitization of the receivables were used to
purchase previous securitized receivables under the prior agreement and to pay
off the secured note payable under UPAC's secured credit agreement.
The terms of the agreement requires UPAC to maintain a minimum tangible net
worth of $5 million and contain restrictions on the payment of dividends by UPAC
to Anuhco without prior consent of the financial institution. The terms of the
agreement also requires the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of
$50 million. The Company was in compliance with all such provisions at March
31, 1997. The terms of the securitization agreement also require that UPAC
maintain a default reserve at specified levels which serves as collateral. At
March 31, 1997, approximately $4.1 million of owned finance receivables served
as collateral under the default reserve provision.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company adopted the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 ("SFAS No. 125"),
"Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities," for transfers occurring after December 31, 1996.
The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on the net income of
the Company.
In September 1988, Crouse entered into a multi-year credit agreement with a
commercial bank which provided for maximum borrowings equaling the lesser of
$2,500,000 or the borrowing base, as defined in such agreement. In September,
1996 the term of this agreement was extended to June 30, 1998. There was no
outstanding balance on this revolving line of credit at March 31, 1997.
5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Income per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. The average number of common shares so computed was
6,375,009 and 7,136,017 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
On June 26, 1995, the Company adopted a program to repurchase up to 10% of its
outstanding shares of common stock. During the second quarter of 1996, the
Company completed this initial repurchase program and expanded the number of
shares authorized to be repurchased by an additional 10% of its then outstanding
shares. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company repurchased an additional
25,000 shares of common stock, bringing the total shares repurchased to
1,239,441 shares, or 16.4% of outstanding shares before initiating the program,
at a total cost of $10,398,000.
6. AFS NET ASSETS
Under the provisions of a Joint Plan of Reorganization ("the Joint Plan"), AFS
is responsible for the administration of pre-July 12, 1991 creditor claims and
conversion of assets owned before that date. As claims were allowed and cash
was available, distributions to the creditors occurred. The Joint Plan also
provided for distributions to Anuhco as unsecured creditor distributions
occurred in excess of 50% of allowed claims. Anuhco also will receive the full
benefit of any remaining assets of AFS through its ownership of AFS stock, after
unsecured creditors received distributions, including interest, equivalent to
130% of their claims.
AFS has made the full payment of all its resolved claims and liabilities. The
remaining AFS net assets are estimated to have net realizable value of $11.0
million. The primary assets include approximately $6.5 million in cash and
investments. The remaining claims as of March 31, 1997, were paid in April 1997
with no impact on AFS net assets. The remaining AFS assets are recorded at
their estimated net realizable value.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to the first quarter ended March 31,
1996
With the acquisition of APR on May 31, 1995, and UPAC on March 29, 1996,
Anuhco now operates in two distinct industries; transportation, through its
subsidiary, Crouse; and financial services, through its subsidiaries, APR and
UPAC.
TRANSPORTATION
Operating Revenue - The changes in transportation operating revenue are
summarized in the following table (in thousands):
Qtr. 1 1997
vs.
Qtr. 1 1996
Increase (decrease) from:
Increase in LTL tonnage........................ $4,198
Increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight...... 488
Increase in truckload revenues................. 170
Net increase............................... $4,856
Less-than-truckload ("LTL") operating revenues rose by 23.6% in the first
quarter as compared to the same period in 1996. Crouse achieved a 21.1%
increase in LTL tons for the first quarter of 1997, compared to 1996. Crouse's
LTL revenue yield improved approximately two percent from the first quarter of
1996 to the first quarter of 1997. This improvement was the result of fuel
surcharges to pass-through to customers the continuing high cost of diesel fuel,
a general rate increase placed in effect January 1, 1997 and negotiated rate
increases on certain shipping contracts.
Truckload operating revenues were 3.8% higher in the first quarter on 8.2%
more shipments, offset by a 4.4% decline in revenue per shipment.
Operating Expense - A comparative summary of transportation operating expenses
as a percent of transportation operating revenue follows:
Percent of Operating Revenue
First Quarter
1997 1996
Salaries, wages and employee benefits.................... 56.5% 55.8%
Operating supplies and expenses.......................... 13.2% 13.4%
Operating taxes and licenses............................. 2.9% 2.9%
Insurance and claims..................................... 2.0% 2.0%
Depreciation............................................. 3.0% 2.5%
Purchased transportation................................. 19.7% 21.3%
Total operating expenses............................. 97.3% 97.9%
Crouse's operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue, or operating
ratio, improved to 97.3% from 97.9% for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to
1996. An increase in the proportion of LTL tons and revenues of total tons and
revenues resulted in the increases in salaries, wages and employee benefits and
depreciation and the decrease in purchased transportation as a percent of
revenues. The improvement in the first quarter 1997 operating ratio was the
result of spreading the fixed component of the Company's operating expenses over
increased operating revenues.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
In the first quarter of 1997, APR and UPAC financed $32.4 million in insurance
premiums at an average annual yield of 14.6%. These operations generated net
operating income of $374,000 on net finance charges, fees and other income
earned of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 1997. These results compare to
first quarter 1996 financings of $14.2 million at an average annual yield of
13.2%, and approximately breakeven at the operating income line on net finance
charges, fees and other income earned of $900,000. The increases in premium
financed, net finance charges, fees and other income are primarily the result of
the Company's acquisition of UPAC effective March 29, 1996, operating income was
positively impacted by the integration of the administrative operations of UPAC
and APR. Also, contributing to the increased operating income was the impact of
the Company's new securitization agreement and the increase in receivables sold
through that agreement by the inclusion of UPAC receivables. See Note 4 -
Financing Agreements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
OTHER
Primarily as a result of its utilization of cash and short-term investments
for the acquisition of UPAC and the stock repurchase program since the first
quarter of 1996, Anuhco recorded a substantial decrease in interest income for
the first quarter ended March 31, 1997, from the corresponding period of 1996.
Anuhco's effective tax rate increased for the first quarter of 1997, to 45% from
43% for the same period of 1996.
Outlook
The following statements are forward-looking statements, within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such
involve risks and uncertainties which are detailed below under the caption
"Forward-Looking Statements".
The Company's three-year strategic plan includes the goal of continuing the
growth of each of its business segments, and making the financial services
segment a more equal contributor to the Company's earnings per share. In the
transportation segment, the plan calls for the Company to continue to provide
and improve upon its already superior service to its customers in its primary
operating territory, while extending its operations throughout the Midwest. As
the Company makes the strategic investments necessary to support this expansion,
the Company intends to continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
its existing base of operations.
The financial services segment will also focus on increasing its market
penetration in certain states with substantial population and industrial base.
The additional volumes of premium finance contracts is expected to be handled
within the Company's existing administrative operations without incurring
significant additional fixed costs.
In addition to the expansion of its existing operations in each of its
business segments, the Company continues to consider potential
acquisitions which would complement these operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are
not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including, without limitation, the statements specifically identified as
forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. In addition, certain statements
in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
the Company's press releases, and in oral statements made by or with the
approval of an authorized executive officer of the Company which are not
statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Act. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to (i) projections of revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per
share, capital expenditures, the payment or non-payment of dividends, capital
structure and other financial items, (ii) statements of plans and objectives of
the Company or its management or Board of Directors, including plans or
objectives relating to the products or services of the Company, (iii) statements
of future economic performance, and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying
the statements described in (i), (ii) and (iii). These forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The following
discussion identifies certain important factors that could affect the Company's
actual results and actions and could cause such results or actions to differ
materially from any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Company that related to such results or actions. Other factors, which are not
identified herein, could also have such an effect.
Transportation
Certain specific factors which may affect the Company's transportation
operation include: increasing competition from other regional and national
carriers for freight in the Company's primary operating territory; increasing
price pressure; changes in fuel prices; labor matters; including changes in
labor costs, and other labor contract issues; and, environmental matters.
Financial Services
Certain specific factors which may affect the Company's financial services
operation include: the performance of financial markets and interest rates; the
performance of the insurance industry; increasing competition from other premium
finance companies and insurance carriers for finance business in the Company's
key operating states; failure to achieve the Company's anticipated levels of
expense savings from the integration of APR's and UPAC's administrative
functions; difficulty in integrating the computer and operating systems; the
loss of experienced, trained personnel during the transition period; the loss of
customer identification with the Company as the businesses are combined; and,
the inability to obtain continued financing at a competitive cost of funds.
General Factors
Certain general factors which could affect both the Company's transportation
operation and the Company's financial services operation include: changes in
general business and economic conditions; changes in governmental regulation,
and; tax changes. Expansion of these businesses into new states or markets is
substantially dependent on obtaining sufficient business volumes from existing
and new customers in these new markets at compensatory rates.
The cautionary statements made pursuant to Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are made as of the date of this Report and are
subject to change. The cautionary statements set forth in this Report are not
intended to cover all of the factors that may affect the Company's businesses in
the future. Forward-looking information disseminated publicly by the Company
following the date of this Report may be subject to additional factors hereafter
published by the Company.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's financial condition remained strong at March 31, 1997 with more
than $15 million in cash and investments at the Anuhco level, as well as
approximately $6.5 million in cash and investments held in the discontinued
operation. In addition, during the first three months of 1997, the Company has
purchased $3.1 million of operating property and equipment, without incurring
any long term indebtedness.
A substantial portion of the capital required for UPAC's and APR's insurance
premium finance operations has been provided through the sale of undivided
interests in a designated pool of receivables on an ongoing basis under
receivables securitization agreements. The current securitization agreement,
which matures December 31, 1999, currently provides for the sale of a maximum of
$50 million of eligible receivables. As of March 31, 1997, $36.6 million of
such receivables had been securitized.
On June 26, 1995, the Company adopted a program to repurchase up to 10% of its
outstanding shares of common stock. During the second quarter of 1996 the
Company completed this program and expanded the program to include an additional
10% of its then outstanding shares. During the first quarter of 1997, the
Company repurchased 25,000 shares of common stock bringing the total shares
repurchased to 1,239,441, or 16.4% of outstanding shares before initiating the
program, at a total cost of $10,398,000. This program is being funded from
available cash and investments.
