NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares
outstanding during each period.
NOTE B - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is effective for financial statements issued after
December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not permitted. The new
standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per share and requires
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of
how the per share amounts were computed. The adoption of this new standard is
not expected to have a material impact on the disclosure of earnings per share
in the financial statements.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The foregoing information for the periods ended July 6, 1997, and June 30, 1996,
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, 1996, is summarized from audited
consolidated financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures
contained therein and should be read in conjunction with the 1996 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 Second Quarter 1997 and 1996
Net sales decreased $100,000 from $16,970,000 to $16,870,000.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 26% to 29%,
primarily as a result of more favorable manufacturing variances.
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.
Both other income, principally interest and net earnings increased from
the 1996 level primarily as a result of a higher rate of return on a higher
level of invested funds.
Earnings before provision for income taxes increased $516,000 from
$2,450,000 to $2,966,000. The provision for income taxes increased from $214,000
to $326,000 and the effective income tax rate increased from 9% to 11%, as a
result of increased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings increased $404,000
from $2,236,000 to $2,640,000, or 18%.
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 Six Months 1997 and 1996
Net sales increased by $738,000 from $34,079,000 to $34,817,000,
primarily due to a higher volume.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased from 23% to 26%,
primarily as a result of more favorable manufacturing variances offset in part
by a less favorable product mix.
The accrual for unexpended advertising costs discussed in the Second
Quarter comparison also applies to the first six months.
Both other income, principally interest and net earnings increased from
the 1996 level primarily as a result of a higher rate of return on a higher
level of invested funds.
Both years were favorably impacted by litigation judgments /
settlements of a non-recurring nature.
Earnings before provision for income taxes increased $1,424,000 from
$4,346,000 to $5,770,000. The provision for income taxes increased from $180,000
to $552,000 and the effective income tax rate increased from 4% to 10%, as a
result of increased earnings subject to tax. Net earnings increased $1,052,000
from $4,166,000 to $5,218,000, or 25%.
