Page 5 of 9 NATIONAL SANITARY SUPPLY COMPANY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) NOTE A. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X. Consequently, they do not include all the disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of the management of National Sanitary Supply Company ("National"), the financial statements presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows of National and its subsidiaries for the periods indicated. For additional information concerning the accounting policies of National, refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1997. NOTE B. Earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. The dilution that would result from shares issuable under National's Stock Incentive Plans is not material. NOTE C. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share, effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997. Adoption of SFAS 128 in December 1997 will not impact the Company's reported earnings per share. NOTE D. On August 11, 1997, National announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Unisource Worldwide Inc. ("Unisource") whereby National will be merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Unisource. Chemed Corporation, owner of 82% of the outstanding common stock of National, consented to the transaction by a vote of its Board of Directors. The merger, which is subject to normal and customary conditions as well as completion of due diligence by Unisource, is expected to be consummated within 90 days. Upon completion of the transaction National's shareholders will receive a cash payment of $21 per share. Page 6 of 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations - --------------------- National Sanitary Supply Company's sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 were $78,353,000 a 1.5% increase from sales of $77,210,000 in the second quarter of 1996. Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $1,217,000, a 7.9% decrease from net income of $1,321,000 in the prior-year second quarter. Earnings per share of $0.20 for the second quarter of 1997 decreased 9.1% from earnings per share of $0.22 in the comparable prior-year quarter. National's second-quarter results reflect the impact of deflationary pricing in the paper segment and the loss of sales to certain foodservice accounts. Continued growth in our core sanitary maintenance supply business and tight expense control, especially in reducing casualty insurance claims cost, partially offset these adverse factors. Safety meetings and programs initiated over the past few years are having a favorable impact on our workers' compensa- tion and automobile liability claims. The gross profit margin of 33.2% for the second quarter of 1997 was the same as the gross profit margin of the prior-year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 1997 increased 0.3% point from 29.6% in 1996 to 29.9% in 1997. The effective tax rate for the second quarter decreased from 41.5% in 1996 to 40.4% in 1997, primarily due to lower income in states with higher tax rates. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, National's sales of $152,702,000 decreased 1.2% from sales of $154,487,000 in the comparable period of 1996. Net income for the first half of 1997 was $1,842,000, a 14.4% decrease from the prior-year first half net income of $2,153,000. Earnings per share of $0.30 for the first six months of 1997 were 5 cents lower than those recorded for the comparable prior-year period. The improvement in the gross profit margin for the first six months of 1997 compared with the same period of 1996 was offset by an increase in operating expenses as a percent of sales. The change in both categories was primarily due to the loss of sales to certain foodservice accounts. The decrease in Chemed interest expense from $817,000 in the first six months of 1996 to $747,000 in the first six months of 1997 reflects a reduction in debt with Chemed Corporation from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997 of $354,000. The improvement in the effective tax rate from 42.9% for the first six months of 1996 to 41.6% for the first six months of 1997 reflects lower state income taxes. Liquidity and capital resources - ------------------------------- The reduction in accrued liabilities primarily reflects the payment of 1996 incentive-oriented programs. Management believes that the company's cash flow from operations and other sources of liquidity are sufficient for its needs in the forseeable future. Page 7 of 9 Part II. Other Information Item 6.
