NATIONAL PRESTO INDUSTRIES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - EARNINGS PER SHARE - --------------------------- The Company's basic net earnings per share amounts have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company's diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The foregoing information for the periods ended July 1, 2001, and July 2, 2000, is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of the Registrant, it reflects all the adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, is summarized from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the 2000 Annual Report. Interim results for the period are not indicative of those for the year. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from historical results. Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainty. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: consumer spending and debt levels; interest rates; continuity of relationships with and purchases by major customers; product mix; competitive pressure on sales and pricing, and increases in material or production cost which cannot be recouped in product pricing. Additional information concerning those and other factors is contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the Form 10-K, copies of which are available from the Company without charge. Comparison Second Quarter 2001 and 2000 Net sales decreased by $3,148,000 from $20,399,000 to $17,251,000 or 15%, resulting from the shipment of fewer units. Gross profit for 2001 decreased $2,496,000 from $5,658,000 to $3,162,000 or 28% versus 18% as a percentage of net sales. The reduction of gross profit percentage reflected the inability to pass on increased cost and less favorable manufacturing efficiencies experienced at the Company's manufacturing facilities. The Company accrues unexpended advertising costs budgeted for the year against each quarter's sales. Major advertising commitments are incurred in advance of the expenditures, and the timing of sales through dealers and distributors to the ultimate customer does not permit specific identification of the customers' purchase to the actual time an advertisement appears. Advertising charges included in selling expense in each quarter represent that percentage of the annual advertising budget associated with that quarter's shipments. Revisions to this budget result in periodic changes to the accrued liability for committed advertising expenditures. Other income, principally interest, decreased from the 2000 level as a result of a lower level of invested funds and a lower rate of return on the Company's portfolio of short-term marketable securities. Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $2,199,000 from $3,309,000 to $1,110,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $461,000 of expense to a benefit of $269,000, which resulted in an effective income tax rate decrease from 14% to a taxable benefit of 24%, as a result of the tax benefit generated from the operating loss being greater than the taxes due on investment income. Net earnings decreased $1,469,000 from $2,848,000 to $1,379,000, or 52%. The Company maintains adequate liquidity for all of its anticipated capital requirements and dividend payments. As of quarter-end, there were no material capital commitments outstanding. Comparison First Six Months 2001 and 2000 Net sales decreased by $2,010,000 from $38,906,000 to $36,896,000 due primarily to decreased unit volume. Gross profit for 2001 decreased $4,317,000 from $10,345,000 to $6,028,000 or 27% versus 16% as a percentage of net sales. The reduction of gross profit percentage reflected the inability to pass on increased cost and less favorable manufacturing efficiencies experienced at the Company's manufacturing facilities. The accrual for unexpended advertising costs discussed in the Second Quarter comparison also applies to the first six months. Other income, principally interest, decreased from the 2000 level as a result of a lower level of invested funds and a lower rate of return on the Company's portfolio of short-term marketable securities. Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $4,937,000 from $6,887,000 to $1,950,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from an expense of $1,021,000 to a benefit of $679,000, which resulted in an effective income tax rate decrease from 15% to a taxable benefit of 35%, as a result of the tax benefit generated from the operating loss being greater than the taxes due on investment income. Net earnings decreased $3,237,000 from $5,866,000 to $2,629,000, or 55%. Item 7A. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's interest income on cash equivalents and investments is affected by changes in interest rates in the United States. The Company's investments are held primarily in municipal bonds, a majority of which earn a fixed rate of interest, while the remaining bonds earn a variable interest rate. The Company uses sensitivity analysis to determine its exposure to changes in interest rates. Through July 1, 2001, changes in these rates have not had a material effect on the Company, and the Company does not anticipate that future exposure to interest rate market risk will be material. The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing in derivative financial instruments. Most transactions with international customers are entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges. Any transactions that are currently entered into in foreign currency are not deemed material to the financial statements. Thus, the exposure to foreign exchange market risk is not material.
