NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A
Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares
outstanding during each period. In 1995, earnings for calculation of the per
share data are adjusted to reflect addback of interest expense on the
convertible debenture.
NOTE B
Update to Footnote L to the 1995 Annual Report -- During the second quarter, the
Company entered into an agreement with the Army obligating the additional
$15,000,000 in environmental restoration funds for the Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
site. As of this filing, the Company has been reimbursed from these funds for
the $10,300,000 in environmental costs it had previously advanced.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The foregoing information for the periods ended September 29, 1996, and October
1, 1995, 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, 1995, is summarized from
audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all the
disclosures contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the 1995
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 1996 and 1995
Net sales decreased by $6,038,000 from $29,039,000 to $23,001,000,
primarily due to decreased unit volume.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreased from 33% to 30%, due
primarily to a less favorable product mix .
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 decreased from the 1995 level primarily as a result of
lower interest income stemming from reduced yields on a higher level of
invested funds.
The other, principally litigation judgment shown in 1995, was in
largest part a nonoperational receipt of $2.85 million in damages and interest
resulting from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 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 $3,271,000 from
$6,700,000 to $3,429,000. The provision for income taxes decreased from
$1,903,000 to $608,000, and the effective income tax rate decreased from 28% to
18%, as a result of a smaller proportion of earnings subject to tax. Net
earnings decreased $1,976,000 from $4,797,000 to $2,821,000, or 41%.
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 1996 and 1995
Net sales decreased by $5,803,000 from $62,883,000 to $57,080,000,
primarily due to decreased unit volume.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 31% to 26%,
primarily due to a less favorable product mix .
The accrual for unexpended advertising costs discussed in the Third
Quarter comparison also applies to the first nine months.
Other income decreased from the 1995 level primarily as a result of
lower interest income stemming from reduced yields on a lower level of invested
funds, offset in part by the first quarter 1996 recognition of income from
concluded legal matters ($476,000).
Earnings before provision for income taxes decreased $4,270,000 from
$12,045,000 to $7,775,000, or 36%. The effective income tax rate decreased from
18% to 10%, as a result of decreased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings
decreased $2,854,000 from $9,841,000 to $6,987,000, or 29%.
