Significant accounting policies followed for the nine months ended June 25, 1996 are the same as those contained in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies from the Company's audited financial statements as of September 30, 1995 and September 24, 1994. (2) Inventories. Inventories are summarized as follows: June 25, September 30, 1996 1995 Raw materials on LIFO $ 50,789 $ 94,873 Work-in-process 335,512 312,619 Inventories at FIFO cost 386,301 407,492 LIFO reserve (66,028) (66,028) Inventories at LIFO cost 320,273 341,464 Other FIFO inventories 2,075,869 2,034,641 Total inventories 2,396,142 2,376,105 (3) Short-term bank borrowings. The Company has $1,850,000 in bank credit lines which mature on March 1, 1997. Interest is charged at the lender's prime rate plus .325%, 8.57% at June 25, 1996. Outstanding borrowings are collateralized by accounts receivable and inventories. The credit line agreement contains covenants under which the Company may not pay dividends in excess of 10% of annual net (after tax) profit, purchase property and equipment in excess of $1.4 million in fiscal year end 1996 or enter into mergers, acquisitions or any major sales of assets or corporate reorganizations without prior consent of the bank. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios concerning working capital and debt to equity, as well as a minimum net worth of $2,000,000. (4) Capital Stock On October 31, 1995, the holders of $122,000 worth of convertible debentures converted into 976,000 shares of capital stock at a conversion price of $.125 per share. The conversion increased capital stock outstanding from 4,377,577 shares to 5,353,577 shares. (5) Federal Income Tax Expense Effective September 26, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on years prior to September 26, 1993 was $48,227. There was no significant effect on net income from applying SFAS No. 109 during the year ended September 24, 1994. There were no extraordinary items to be reported for any of the above accounting periods. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the first nine months of the current fiscal year, the Company's working capital has declined from approximately $1,572,000 on September 30,1995 to approximately $1,375,000 as of June 25, 1996. The 13% decline is due primarily to financing the down payment on a new building which will be occupied by the fabrication and processing business. The lease on the premises at the Spokane Industrial Park expired in May 1996. The fabrication business is continuing to occupy the premises on a month to month lease until the new facility at 3900 E. Broadway is complete. The Company has a commitment from a bank to provide a construction and subsequent real estate loan for up to $1,688,000. As of June 25, 1996, advances outstanding on the construction loan amounted to approximately $1,309,000. Of this amount outstanding, $878,000 was used to pay off an existing loan secured by a lien on the property. The commitment should be adequate to complete construction of the plant structure. Alternatives are still being explored for additional office space. It is likely that the existing office space for Stock Steel can be remodeled and expanded to provide the necessary accommodation for approximately $215,000. As soon as the engineering is complete the contractor will apply for a building permit. The plan is to begin construction immediately thereafter. It will be necessary to acquire more efficient office furniture in order to make the additional space accommodate the required personnel. The estimated cost of the furniture is $70,000. The Company is dependent on an operating line of credit, secured by accounts receivable and inventory to meet its daily financial obligations. A $1.85 million operating line is currently in place through March 1, 1997. The Company expects to be able to renew the operating line of credit for the next year on substantially the same terms and conditions as this year. Results of Operations Nine Months Ended June 25, 1996 Sales of approximately $9,345,000 for the nine month period ended June 25, 1996 are 6% higher than approximately $8,778,000 for the same period of time in the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales volume is due primarily to strong demand in both the steel service center and the fabrication and processing markets. Gross margins for the first three quarters of the current year, at approximately $2,510,000 exceeded gross margins for the same period of time in the prior year by 3-1/2%. As a percentage of sales, gross margins for the current year at 26.9% are down slightly from 27.6% the prior year to date. The decline was primarily due to inventory costs below replacement costs early in the year. Increased volume offset the temporary effect of declining mill replacement pricing. The steel service center business represents approximately 74% of the current year to date sales and 67% of the current year to date gross margins. The fabrication and processing business accounts for the remaining 26% of sales and 33% of gross margins. The markets for both businesses continue to exhibit signs of strong demand in the immediate future. A 5% increase in operating expense during the first nine months of the current fiscal year over the same period of the prior year is accounted for primarily by increased wages and associated benefits and taxes. The increases are attributable in part to the inefficiencies inherent in working around a construction project. The structure is about 99% complete and the major pieces of equipment have been moved. The move should be complete by the middle to the end of August. While a lot of the spaciousness of the old facility will be gone, the new facility has a much more efficient layout and the space will be much better utilized. Interest expense, at approximately $151,000 for the first three quarters of the current fiscal year is 9% below the $166,600 for the same period for the prior fiscal year. The decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates and the conversion of $122,000 worth of debentures into capital stock. The interest rate on the debentures was 9.25%. Other income includes payments received on a sublease arrangement at the Spokane Industrial Park location. The $6,000 monthly rental fee was reduced to $3,000 monthly in April 1996 as the equipment in the building was removed for use at the new facility. Rebates from prior years' participation in an industrial insurance retrospective rating plan for the current year were approximately 50% of the prior year. Both of these third quarter events brought year to date non operating other income down by 24% for the first nine months of the current year compared to the same period of time for the prior year. An overall 17% decline in net income for the first nine months of the current year compared to the same period of the prior year is the result of inefficiencies created by the construction project. To some extent these costs were anticipated, however there were unforeseen costs associated with delays caused by design changes. Both the steel service center business and the fabrication and processing business have been profitable during the first nine months of the current fiscal year. Three Months Ended June 25, 1996 Sales of approximately $3,450,000 for the three month period ended June 25, 1996 were 19% higher than approximately $2,896,000 gross sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The fabrication and processing business achieved a 48% increase in gross sales at the same time the steel service center business increased revenues by 12%. The fabrication and processing business accounted for 25% of the current year third quarter sales, while the steel service center business accounted for the other 75%. Potential for fourth quarter sales is good, however, the equipment relocation for the fabrication and processing equipment will cause significant downtime for production. Sales will necessarily decline during the period of the move, which will take approximately 8-10 weeks to accomplish. Gross margins at 26.6% of sales for the most recent quarter compare to 27.5% for the quarter ending June 25, 1995. Sales growth resulted in an overall increase of 15% in total gross margins. Operating expenses, at approximately $677,000 for the three months ended June 25, 1996 compare to approximately $654,000 for the same period of time in the prior fiscal year. This 4% increase is primarily the result of the 19% increase in sales volume. Net income before taxes of approximately $222,000 represents a 59% increase for the three month period ended June 25, 1996 compared to the three month period ended June 25, 1995. Strong sales volume and continuing attention to cost control helped to reduce the shortfall between last year's net income year to date and the current year's net income. Item 2. Changes in Securities. The Company had sold $250,000 of convertible debentures, collateralized by land and building, held by related parties, with annual interest at 9.25% and due October 31, 1998. The instruments are convertible to no-par common stock after October 31, 1994 at $0.125 per share with 20% per year incremental conversion price increases over the life of the debentures. The Company, at its option, may call any or all outstanding debentures for redemption after January 2, 1994. During October 1995, $122,000 of the debentures were converted at $0.125 per share for which 976,000 shares were issued. $128,000 remains as long-term debt. This conversion increased the number of outstanding shares from 4,377,577 to 5,353,577. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. Item 5. Other Information. None. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (249.308). (a) Exhibits. None. (b) Reports on Form 8-K. None.
