Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
---------------------------------------------------------
Material Changes in Financial Condition. Accounts receivable decrease
resulted from lower sales in the first quarter of 1999 versus the fourth
quarter of 1998. Inventory increased to meet higher shipment levels in
February versus January 1999. Other current assets increased primarily from
prepaid insurance.
Accounts and note payable decrease resulted from lower accounts
payables combined with paying down the line of credit by $200,000. Other
current liabilities decreased from paying the fiscal year 1998 accrued bonus
combined with lower accruals for customer deposits and commissions.
Additional paid-in capital increased from recording income tax
recoveries directly to paid-in capital.
Material Changes in Results of Operation. Sales in the first quarter of
1999 were 22% lower than the first quarter of 1998. Lower sales are the
result of a lower backlog going into the first quarter and a weakness in
booking new business for the Company's Prab Conveyor product line.
Costs of products sold were 62% in the first quarter of 1999 compared
to 64% a year ago resulting primarily from increased parts sales and
decreased equipment sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
36% in the first quarter of 1999 compared to 30% in the same period a year
ago. The increase primarily results from lower sales without having a
corresponding decrease in overhead.
Interest expense continues to decrease as a result of lower debt.
The order backlog of $2,829,000 at the end of the first quarter ended
January 31, 1999 compares with $3,174,000 at the end of the previous quarter
ended October 31, 1998.
Pg 3 of 11
Sales and earnings may continue to materially decrease in fiscal year
1999. The extent of the decrease in sales and earnings cannot be accurately
determined at this time and will be affected by the general economy in 1999
and efforts by the Company to increase sales and reduce expenses.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE. The company has been, and is currently, in the process
of addressing a significant issue facing all users of automated information
systems. The problem is that many computer systems that process transactions
based on two digits representing the year of transaction may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, or otherwise not
properly process dates in the year 2000.
The company has evaluated its products, both past and present, for year
2000 compliance. None of the products that the Company currently supplies
contain a date function, and therefore, are not affected by the year 2000
problem. While the Company cannot determine with certainty that no products
supplied in the past are affected by the year 2000 problem, the Company is
not aware of any such products which contain a year 2000 defect.
The Company has evaluated its internal systems and, in the opinion of
management, there is no reason to believe that any computer systems or
software used internally by the Company will materially affect its operations
or any transactions with any customer, supplier or business partner, now or
in the future. The Company has also conducted an evaluation of its key
suppliers of goods and services and, in the opinion of management, there is
no reason to believe that any computer systems operated by the Company's
suppliers and business partners will encounter a year 2000 problem which
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. In
addition, the Company believes that it has alternative sources for all goods
and services presently provided to the Company. In the event that the year
2000 problem causes a disruption of basic services such as utilities or
banking or a sustained disruption of the economy in general, the Company will
be adversely affected. The Company has not adopted any contingency plans
regarding year 2000 because it does not believe any materially adverse events
are likely to occur for which such plans would be of benefit.
The Company anticipates that its total expenditures to address the year
2000 problem will not exceed $50,000. This amount does not include the cost
of upgrading the Company's computer system in fiscal year 1998, which upgrade
was undertaken for reasons other than year 2000 concerns. The total cost of
the upgrade was approximately $150,000.
