EDISON CONTROL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instruction to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ending April 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1997. Note 2 - Nature of Business and Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edison Control Corporation ("Edison") and subsidiaries, all of which subsidiaries are wholly owned by Edison (collectively, the "Company"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Nature of Operations - The Company is currently comprised of four operating units. Construction Forms ("ConForms") is a leading manufacturer and distributor of systems of pipes, couplings and hoses and other equipment used for the pumping of concrete. ConForms manufactures a wide variety of finished products which are used to create appropriate configurations of systems for various concrete pumps. Ultra Tech manufactures abrasion resistant piping systems for use in industries such as mining, pulp and papaer, power and waste treatment. Gilco produces a line of concrete and plaster/mortar mixers. JABCO primarily leases property and equipment to Ultra Tech. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Translation of Foreign Currencies - Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into United States dollars at current exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated into United States dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements of the foreign operations are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Net (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalents - Net (loss) earnings per common share and common share equivalents is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents (stock options and warrants) outstanding during the year. Common share equivalents from dilutive stock options and warrants were calculated using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents (stock options and warrants) are antidilutive for the period ended April 30, 1997. Accounting Pronouncements - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" was issued in 1995. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 as allowed by SFAS No. 123. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the accounting and disclosure effects of the Statement, which is required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition On June 21, 1996, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Construction Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $20,550,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction with the purchase price allocated to the fair value of specific assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the results of operations have been included since the date of the acquisition. Resultant goodwill is being amortized over 40 years. Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 increased $5,446,120 to $5,707,231 when compared with the same period of the prior year. The increase is attributable to the inclusion of the results of operations of the acquired companies. Construction Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries net sales for the quarter ended increased 6.3% from $5,368,988 to $5,707,231 due to increased domestic volume at ConForms and Ultra Tech. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin for the quarter increased to 36.3% from 26.0%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $1,130,771 compared to $186,011 for the prior year. These increases are primarily attributable to the inclusion of the results of operations of the acquired companies. Gross profit percent of Construction Forms, Inc. and subsidiaries increased to 36.3% from 30.1% due to better pricing on Ultra Tech sales. Selling, engineering and administrative expenses of the acquired companies decreased to $990,502 compared to $1,216,802 for the same period last year. This was mainly due to the decrease in personnel wages and benefits from the quarter ended April 30, 1996. Interest expense increased to $276,498 for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 compared to $0 for the quarter ended April 30, 1996. This change related to the debt incurred on the acquisition. The net loss on trading securities of $632,588 compared to last year's net gain of $501,355 accounts for the major change in pre-tax income. A major reason for the decrease was related to the decline in the market value of Glenayre Technologies, Inc. The amortization of goodwill, financing costs, stock options and stock warrants created a total non-cash charge of $514,033 for the quarter compared to $0 for the prior quarter. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $179,960 for the three months ended April 30, 1997, which represents the estimated annual effective rate of 36.5% applied to pre-tax book income. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The net loss of $313,765, or $.14 per share, for the first quarter of 1997 was a decrease of $536,247, compared to net income of $222,482, or $.10 per share, for the comparable period of the prior year. This change is principally due to the net loss on trading securities and the amortization of the non-cash charges described above. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company generated $841,290 in cash from operations during the first three months of 1997. The Company used $100,493 in cash to acquire capital equipment and $779,217 in cash to pay back long-term debt. The result was a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2,765 for the first quarter compared to a net increase of $670,200 in last year's quarter. The difference is attributable to the change in the balance sheet composition as a result of the acquisition. The Company believes that it can fund proposed capital expenditures and operational requirements from operations and currently available cash, cash equivalents, investments and existing bank credit lines. Proposed capital expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year 1997 are expected to total approximately $400,000. Additionally, at April 30, 1997, the Company's current ratio was 3.7:1. At January 31, 1997, the current ratio was 3.9:1. Required minimum principal payments for the year are approximately $869,000. PART II. Item 6.
