NATIONAL PRESTO INDUSTRIES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during each period, including common equivalent shares assuming conversion of the convertible debenture. Earnings for calculation of the per share data are adjusted to reflect addback of interest expense on the convertible debenture. ________________________________________________________________________ The foregoing information for the periods ended October 1, 1995, and October 2, 1994, 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, 1994, is summarized from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the 1994 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 Comparison Third Quarter 1995 and 1994 Net sales decreased by $6,449,000 from $35,488,000 to $29,039,000, primarily due to decreased unit volume. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 40% to 33%, due in part to a less favorable product mix and in part to increases stemming from higher material prices. 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 increased from the 1994 level due to a higher level of invested funds in the Company's portfolio of short-term marketable securities and a higher tax exempt rate of return. The other, principally litigation settlement was in largest part the non-operational receipt of $2.85 million in damages and interest resulting from the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals decision that Black & Decker infringed Presto's patent on its SaladShooter(R) electric slicer/shredder. It was offset in part by the cost of retiring a convertible debenture issued in January 1981. Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $34,000 from $6,734,000 to $6,700,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from $1,935,000 to $1,903,000, and the effective income tax rate decreased from 29% to 28%, as a result of decreased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings decreased $2,000 from $4,799,000 to $4,797,000. The Company maintains adequate liquidity for all of its anticipated capital requirements. As of quarter-end, there were no material capital commitments outstanding. Comparison of the First Nine Months 1995 and 1994 Net sales decreased $5,294,000 from $68,177,000 to $62,883,000, primarily due to decreased unit volume. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 36% to 31%, primarily due to cost increases stemming from higher material prices. The accrual for unexpended advertising costs discussed in the Third Quarter comparison also applies to the first nine months. Other income increased from the 1994 level due to a higher level of invested funds in the Company's portfolio of short-term marketable securities and a higher tax exempt rate of return. The other, principally litigation settlement discussed in the Third Quarter comparison also applies to the first nine months. Earnings before provision for income taxes increased $126,000 from $11,919,000 to $12,045,000, or 1%. The effective income tax rate decreased from 23% to 18%, as a result of decreased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings increased $630,000 from $9,211,000 to $9,841,000, or 7%.
