AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1995 and 1994 (unaudited) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by The Forschner Group, Inc. ("Forschner", the "Company") without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. In the opinion of management of the Company, the interim financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. INVENTORIES Domestic inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method) or market. Had the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method been used to value domestic inventories as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, the balance at which inventories are stated would have been $2,683,000 and $2,487,000 higher, respectively. Foreign inventories are valued at the lower or cost or market determined by the FIFO method. Inventories principally consist of finished goods and packaging material. INVESTMENTS Investments is comprised of the following as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994: June 30, December 31, 1995 1994 ------------------------------ Investment in preferred stock, at cost (A) $7,002,990 $7,002,990 Investment in common stock, at cost (B) 516,000 - ---------- ---------- Total investments in equity securities, at cost $7,518,990 $7,002,990 ========== ========== Investments in unconsolidated affiliates (C) $7,392,189 $4,463,080 (A) Represents Forschner's investment in Forschner Enterprises, Inc., a privately held corporation. Forschner's preferred stock has cumulative dividends and voting rights. Forschner is accounting for this investment on the cost basis. (B) Represents Forschner's investment in a development stage company involved in the design, manufacture and marketing of fine jewelry. As of June 30, 1995, Forschner owned 19.0% of the outstanding common stock of this company and accounts for the investment on the cost basis. 8 (C) Includes Forschner's investments in Simmons Outdoor Corporation ("Simmons") and SweetWater, Inc ("SweetWater"). In the first quarter of 1995, Forschner increased its percentage ownership of Simmons to 20% and SweetWater to 37%. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as of March 31, 1995, these investments were accounted for under the equity method, with Forschner recording its proportional share of net income or losses of these companies and amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of the two investments. The total net impact for the six months ended June 30, 1995 is recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying statement of operations, including a $635,000 one-time favorable impact of Forschner's share of net income of both of these companies, less amortization of goodwill, computed from the date when Forschner first acquired stock in each of the companies. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 reflects adjustments necessary to show Forschner's investments in Simmons and SweetWater on a cost basis instead of at market as previously shown in the Company's Form 10-K. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER Special promotional programs with a single customer of the Corporate Markets Division accounted for 0% and 42% of total sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 14% and 34% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company is not participating in a program with this customer currently, nor are any programs currently scheduled for the remainder of 1995 with this customer. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided at the projected annual effective tax rate. The income tax provisions for the interim 1995 and 1994 periods exceed the federal statutory rate of 34% due primarily to state income taxes (net of federal benefit), foreign tax rate differences and, in 1995, to the non-deductibility of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding include the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding. The fully diluted earnings per share amount for both periods is the same as primary earnings per share. 9 THE FORSCHNER GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $25.9 million compared with $39.9 million for the same period a year ago, representing a decrease of $14.0 million or 35%. Sales comparisons with the second quarter of 1994 are significantly impacted by the exceptional promotional program for a single customer of the Corporate Markets Division which began in 1994 and concluded at the end of the first quarter of 1995. The promotional program accounted for 42% of the Company's sales for the second quarter of 1994 versus zero in 1995. Excluding the impact of this promotional program on results for the 1994 period, sales increased in the three months ended June 30, 1995. However, with the end of the program, sales for the second quarter decreased substantially. Including results of the special promotional program, sales of Swiss Army Knives, Swiss Army Brand Watches and Swiss Army Brand Sunglasses decreased while sales of cutlery increased. Excluding the impact of sales to this customer, the Company's sales were 11% higher than in the second quarter of 1994, with increases among all major products. Gross profit of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 decreased $4.7 million or 35% from 1994. The decrease relates principally to the impact of sales decreases previously discussed. The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 1995 of 33.6% was comparable to the margin of 33.5% reported for the same period of 1994. Forschner's gross profit margin is a function of both product mix and Swiss franc exchange rates. Since Forschner imports virtually all of its products from Switzerland, its costs are affected by both the spot rate of exchange and by its foreign currency hedging program. The weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Swiss franc began to impact Forschner's gross margin in the second quarter of 1995, and unless the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Swiss franc improves substantially in favor of the dollar, continuing weakness will have a significant adverse impact on earnings in the second half of the year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1995 of $8.0 million were $3.0 million or 27% lower than the amount for the comparable period in 1994, which included a special charitable contribution of $1.5 million. The remaining $1.5 million decrease in expenses resulted primarily from decreased national advertising and lower printed material costs offset slightly by personnel costs related to an increase in Forschner's direct sales force. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses (including the charitable contribution) increased from 27.6% in 1994 to 30.9% in 1995. Due to higher invested cash balances in the three months ended June 30, 1995 than in the comparable period of 1994, interest income of $165,000 in 1995 exceeded the $5,000 recorded in the year earlier period. Other expense of $312,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $331,000 lower than the $18,000 of income for the same period in 1994, due to recognition of Forschner's share of losses in its equity investment SweetWater, Inc., offset somewhat by its share of income of its other equity investment, Simmons Outdoor Corporation, and amortization of goodwill relating to the two investments. 10 As a result of these changes, income before income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was $0.5 million versus $2.4 million for the same period in 1994, for a decrease of $1.9 million or 77%. Income tax expense was provided at an effective rate of 59.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1995, versus 42.1% in 1994, with the increase related primarily to the non-deductibility of Forschner's share of losses and amortization of goodwill relating to its equity investments. Net income was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 versus $1.4 million in the comparable period of 1994, representing a decrease of $1.2 million or 84%. On a per share basis for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, net income was $0.03 compared with $0.17 in 1994, an 82% decrease. Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $55.3 million compared with $67.0 million for the same period a year ago, representing a decrease of $11.7 million or 18%. Sales comparisons with the first half of 1994 are significantly impacted by the exceptional promotional program for a single customer of the Corporate Markets Division which began in 1994 and concluded at the end of the first quarter of 1995. The promotional program accounted for 34% of the Company's sales for the first half of 1994 versus 14% in 1995. Excluding the impact of this promotional program on results for the 1994 period, sales increased 8% in the six months ended June 30, 1995. However, with the end of the program, sales for the first half decreased 18%. Including results of the special promotional program, sales of Swiss Army Knives, Swiss Army Brand Watches and Sunglasses decreased while sales of cutlery increased. Excluding the impact of sales to this customer, the Company's sales of Swiss Army Knives were modestly higher than in the first half of 1994. Swiss Army Brand Watch sales and sales of cutlery also posted increases. Gross profit of $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased $4.7 million or 20% from 1994. The decrease relates principally to sales decreases previously discussed, reduced gross profit margins on sales to the promotional customer and the negative impact of a weaker U.S. dollar against the Swiss franc. The gross profit margin for the first half of 1995 of 35.1% was down slightly from the margin of 36.1% reported for the same period of 1994. Forschner's gross profit margin is a function of both product mix and Swiss franc exchange rates. Since Forschner imports virtually all of its products from Switzerland, its costs are affected by both the spot rate of exchange and by its foreign currency hedging program. The weakness of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Swiss franc began to impact Forschner's gross margin in the second quarter of 1995, and unless the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Swiss franc improves substantially in favor of the dollar, continuing weakness will have a significant adverse impact on earnings in the second half of the year. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 of $17.1 million were $2.1 million or 11% lower than the amount for the comparable period in 1994, which included a special charitable contribution of $1.5 million. The remaining $0.6 million decrease in expenses resulted primarily from decreased national advertising and lower printed material costs offset somewhat by personnel costs related to an increase in Forschner's direct sales force. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses (including the charitable contribution) increased from 28.7% in 1994 to 31.0% in 1995. 11 Due to higher invested cash balances in the six months ended June 30, 1995 than in the comparable period of 1994, interest income of $416,000 in 1995 exceeded the $19,000 recorded in the year earlier period. Other income of $52,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $38,000 lower than the $90,000 of income for the same period in 1994, due to recognition of Forschner's share of losses in its equity investment SweetWater, Inc. and amortization of goodwill relating to its two equity investments, offset somewhat by its share of income of its other equity investment, Simmons Outdoor Corporation, and the one-time favorable impact of recognizing Forschner's cumulative share of net income, less amortization of goodwill, of Forschner's two equity investments. As a result of these changes, income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $2.7 million versus $5.0 million for the same period in 1994, a decrease of $2.3 million or 46%. Income tax expense was provided at an effective rate of 45.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1995, versus 42.1% in 1994, with the increase related primarily to the non-deductibility of Forschner's share of losses and amortization of goodwill relating to its equity investments. Net income was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 versus $2.9 million in the comparable period of 1994, representing a decrease of $1.4 million or 49%. On a per share basis for the six months ended June 30, 1995, net income was $0.18 compared with $0.38 in 1994, a 53% decrease. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 1995, Forschner had working capital of $52.2 million compared with $54.7 million as of December 31, 1994, a decrease of $2.5 million principally due to investments the Company made during the six months ended June 30, 1995. Sources of working capital included net income of $1.5 million and depreciation and amortization of $2.1 million. Significant uses of working capital included the Company's $3.8 million increase in the common stock investments of Simmons Outdoor Corporation and SweetWater, Inc. and capital expenditures and additions to other assets of $2.2 million. The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures. Cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with $1.4 million in the comparable period in 1994. The increased usage of cash in operations resulted from a much larger increase in inventories in 1995 than in the prior year, an increase in prepaid expenses versus a decrease in 1994, a decrease in accrued liabilities versus an increase in 1994 and a larger decrease in taxes payable in 1995 than in 1994, all of which were somewhat offset by a reduction in accounts receivable versus an increase in 1994, an increase in accounts payable versus a decrease in 1994 and lower net income in 1995 than in 1994. Forschner meets its short-term liquidity needs with cash generated from operations, and, when necessary, bank borrowings under its revolving credit agreement. As of June 30, 1995, Forschner had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving line of credit, leaving an unused line of $15 million. Forschner's short-term liquidity is affected by seasonal changes in inventory levels, payment terms and seasonality of sales. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and borrowings under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated operating and capital needs through the expiration of the revolving credit agreement in April 1996. 12 PART II.
