Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements.
September 26, 1999
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements of Chemfab Corporation (the
Company) included in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting
of only normally recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position at September 26, 1999 and June 30, 1999 and the
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months
ended September 26, 1999 and September 27, 1998. The unaudited results
of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted
from these interim financial statements. The statements, therefore,
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Chemfab Corporation
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999 (file no.
1-12767).
Note 2 - Acquisitions
On July 16, 1999, the Company completed the purchase of the capital
stock of Holding Christian Cases S.A. (HCC) for $1,236,000 in net
cash, including associated transaction costs. The purchase agreement
also requires the payment of approximately $100,000 in each of the
following two years for a non-compete agreement. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Prior to the
acquisition, the main business of HCC and its subsidiaries was in the
fabrication and distribution of PTFE composite products in France
principally purchased from Chemfab. This business is expected to
continue. The acquisition of HCC resulted in the recognition of
goodwill of approximately $858,000 which will be amortized over 15
years.
In June 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
UroQuest Medical Corporation (Uroquest). The Company is scheduled,
subject to the completion of standard transaction contingencies, to
consummate the acquisition of UroQuest in the second quarter of fiscal
2000. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 11.)
Note 3 - Debt:
In September 1999, the Company has amended its $20,000,000 revolving
credit agreement with two commercial banks, one based in the U.S. and
the other in Ireland. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
has available a $20,000,000 unsecured credit facility until December
31, 1999. The loan agreement requires that any balance outstanding
will at December 31, 1999, convert into a four-year loan with a
five-year amortization schedule and a lump sum payment due December
31, 2003. In connection with the planned acquisition of UroQuest, the
Company is currently negotiating to replace its' existing credit
facility.

Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies:
Various lawsuits and claims are pending or have been asserted by and
against the Company, including matters previously disclosed by the
Company in its Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999. Although
the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and
some lawsuits or claims may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company,
management believes that the disposition of its current legal
proceedings, to the extent not covered by insurance, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.
ITEM 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 26, 1999
Net Sales
The Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 26,
1999, the first quarter of fiscal 2000, increased 3.2% to $26,038,000 from
$25,233,000 in the same quarter last year. Shipments of the Company's Engineered
Products worldwide increased 14% over the year earlier period while shipments of
architectural products decreased 35%. Measured in constant foreign currency
rates, consolidated revenue would have increased by 3.5%.
The Americas Business segment sales (which include all Engineered Product sales
from the Company's U.S. manufacturing plants into principal geographic markets
in the Americas and Architectural Product sales worldwide) decreased 5% to
$15,284,000 from $16,148,000 for the same quarter last year. This sales decrease
resulted from low Architectural Product sales in the quarter which declined 35%
compared with the same period last year. The Architectural decline was offset by
10% growth in Engineered Product sales. It is expected that revenues from sales
of Engineered Products and Architectural Products, particularly into the
Americas, will remain relatively solid through the end of the fiscal year.
The European Business segment sales (which include all Engineered Product sales
from the Company's European manufacturing plants; principal geographic markets
are Europe and Africa) increased 21% to $7,794,000 from $6,429,000 in the same
quarter last year. Acquisitions completed last year contributed $1,833,000 of
the increased revenue in the European Business segment. Sales growth for the
balance of the European Business segment is expected to continue at
approximately the same rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Sales in our other Business segment, which includes all Engineered Product sales
to the Far East and sales from the Company's High Performance Elastomer Division
(HPE) combined, increased 11% to $2,960,000 from $2,656,000 in the same quarter
last year. This increase is due to a strengthening of the economy in certain
Asian countries and to expansion of HPE's domestic and European markets. Revenue
growth in the Asia Pacific Business segment and the High Performance Division is
expected to continue at approximately this same rate through the remainder of
the fiscal year.
Gross Profit Margins
Gross profit margins as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased to
35.8% for the quarter, up from 33.4% for the first quarter of last year. The
increase is due to a greater proportion of high margin products and lower
Architectural sales, and the incremental gross profits from our European
fabrication acquisitions.
Selling, Administrative, Research and Development Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 25% to $5,301,000 from
$4,254,000 in the same quarter last year. Increased selling, general and
administration expenditures resulted from additional expenses relating to the
acquisitions completed in the last fiscal year, as well as normal increases in
salaries and other costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales were 20%, up from the first quarter of last year. Research
and development expenses were $712,000 compared to last year's level of
$860,000. This level of spending, at approximately 3% of total revenues, is
consistent with recent, as well as planned, levels of research and development
spending.
Interest Expense, Net
The Company had net interest expense of $79,000 for the quarter compared to net
interest income of $103,000 for the same quarter last year, largely as a result
of a lower average cash balance and borrowings made to fund acquisitions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the quarter ended September 26, 1999, the Company generated $3,678,000 of
cash from operations, which was down from the same quarter of the prior year.
During this same period, the Company invested $1,122,000 in property, plant and
equipment additions and expended $1,788,000 for the acquisition of treasury
shares. The Company also received $254,000 in cash proceeds and related tax
benefits from the exercise of stock options during this period.
Working capital decreased to $27,479,000 from $27,555,000 at the end of fiscal
1999. As of September 26, 1999, the Company had an aggregated line of credit of
approximately $20,000,000. As of September 26, 1999, the Company had
approximately $4,369,000 available under this facility. Management believes that
the combination of cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations,
and available credit facilities will be adequate to finance operations during
fiscal 2000 and to deal with any liabilities or contingencies described in Note
7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is scheduled, subject to
the completion of standard transaction contingencies, to consummate the
implementation of a new $60,000,000 unsecured credit loan facility during the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. The new facility will be used to fund the
UroQuest acquisition and to replace the existing credit loan facility.
Year 2000
In 1993, the Company began its program to prepare for the Year 2000 issues.
The Company has made steady progress since then in addressing this computer
programming challenge. The Company is continuing to analyze operations to
determine and implement the procedures necessary to ensure timely and effective
Year 2000 compliance. The Company has generally completed the identification and
assessment phase of its Year 2000 program. The Company believes that all of its
major information management and operations systems are currently Year 2000
compliant.
The Company has spent approximately $1,525,000 to become Year 2000 capable,
and does not expect any additional material out-of pocket expenses to become Y2K
compliant.
The Company has also identified and been in communication with its key
third party vendors and suppliers, both to determine the extent to which the
Company might be vulnerable to such parties' failure to resolve their own Year
2000 issues, and to plan for the satisfactory resolution of any such
contingencies. Where practicable, the Company will continue to assess and
attempt to mitigate its risks with respect to the failure of its suppliers to be
Year 2000 ready. The Company has surveyed its key customers, and where
appropriate, made plans in light of their state of Year 2000 readiness. One
contingency plan, for example, provides for the Company to continue to serve its
customers through redundant manual order-entry and other systems.
The Company has had continuing discussions with its key vendors and
customers about contingency plans for operational, systems and infrastructure
failures resulting from the Year 2000 problem.
While no assurance can be given, the Company does not anticipate at this
time that the Year 2000 problem will have a material adverse impact on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operation. In the event of
a business interruption as a result of a Year 2000 problem at one facility, the
Company plans to shift necessary production to the extent possible to utilize
capacity at other sites. Similarly, most of the Company's vendors and customers
have more than one production site from, or to, which orders can be fulfilled or
sent. In the worst case, however, there could be a temporary shutdown of
production and an associated slippage or even loss of revenues (to the extent
not made up in subsequent time periods).
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in
this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Investors are cautioned
that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and
results may differ materially from those projected or suggested due to certain
risks and uncertainties, including the integration, transition, and where
appropriate, consolidation of the UroQuest transaction and other acquisitions
already completed. Additional information concerning certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected or suggested is contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 which has been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained herein
represent the Company's judgment as of the date of this filing, and the Company
cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.
