NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) July 4, 1999 Note A -- Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ninety-one day period ended July 4, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 2, 2000, or any other period. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended January 3, 1999 included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. Commencing with fiscal 1998, the Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 (fiscal year 1999 ends January 2, 2000) and each quarter ends on the last Sunday of a thirteen-week period. As a result, the six months ended July 4, 1999 and July 5, 1998 included 182 and 186 days, respectively. In the Company's opinion, this difference in days does not materially affect the comparability of the financial results of the periods presented. Note B -- Inventory The components of inventory consist of the following: July 4, January 3, 1999 1999 ----------- ----------- Finished products $ 8,076,000 $ 4,378,000 Work in process 213,000 258,000 Raw materials 4,165,000 6,025,000 ----------- ----------- $12,454,000 $10,661,000 =========== =========== Note C -- Accounting Statements In 1997, the FASB issued Statements No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, and No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption by the Company of these Statements in January 1998 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In 1998, the FASB issued Statements No. 132 EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS, and No. 133 ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. Statement No. 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and Statement No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The adoption by the Company of these statements in January 1998 and January 1999, respectively, did not and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 6 of 15 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Ninety-one Day Period ended July 4, 1999) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Net sales for the three-month period ended July 4, 1999 increased 13.2% to $24,592,000 from $21,724,000 for the same period in 1998. Net sales for the six-month period ended July 4, 1999 increased 15.9% to $45,158,000 from $38,949,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in sales for the quarter was driven by a 33% increase in sell-through at retail versus the same period in 1998, according to data collected by the Company. As previously reported, a higher percentage of the Company's sales in the first half of 1998 were to stock retailers' shelves with new products than has been the case in 1999. Gross profit margins increased to 55.4% and 53.0% for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999, respectively, compared to 51.1% and 49.5% for the same periods in the prior year. These increases were driven largely by increased replacement filter sales as a percentage of total sales, by a reduction in product direct costs, and by reductions in manufacturing overhead expenses. The Company continues to benefit from the maturation of the new manufacturing processes launched in 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11,077,000 (45.0% of net sales) and $19,832,000 (43.9% of net sales) for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 from $8,857,000 (40.8% of net sales) and $16,722,000 (42.9% of net sales) for the same periods in 1998. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable primarily to advertising and promotional expenses related to the continued rollout and expansion of the Company's line of household water filters. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 compared to the same periods in 1998. Although the Company expects to continue its investment in marketing and advertising expenditures, the Company believes that selling, general and administrative expenses will, as a percentage of net sales, decrease for the year in 1999 compared to 1998. Research and development expense decreased to $962,000 and $1,923,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999, compared to $1,089,000 and $2,100,000 for the same periods in 1998. The Company continues to be committed towards developing new products and technology. Development of product line extensions and other new technology will require continued emphasis and may require increased spending on research and development. Other expenses decreased to $22,000 and $54,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 compared to $187,000 and $727,000 for the same periods in 1998. Interest income and other income increased to $226,000 and $453,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 compared to $207,000 and $207,000 for the same periods in 1998. 7 of 15 This increase was mainly due to increased balances of cash and cash equivalents as a result of the Company's public offering which was completed April 28, 1998, as well as the proceeds from the overallotment option completed May 18, 1998. Interest expense and other expense decreased to $248,000 and $507,000 for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 compared to $394,000 and $934,000 for the same periods in 1998. The decrease was due mainly to lower interest expense on the Company's bank line of credit, which was established in March 1997 and repaid by the Company subsequent to its public offering in the second quarter of 1998. The Company's effective income tax rate was 15% for the three- and six-month periods ended July 4, 1999 and July 5, 1998, respectively. The Company has a $1,512,000 net deferred tax asset primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the majority of its deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of future realization. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: During the six-month period ended July 4, 1999, operations provided cash of $4,021,000, compared to $6,072,000 of cash used in operations in the same period the prior year. In the first half of 1999, cash was provided by net income and a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accrued expenses, while cash was used to increase inventories and decrease accounts payable. In the first half of 1998, cash was used to fund the net loss and increase inventories and accounts receivable, as well as decrease accounts payable and accrued expenses. Capital expenditures were $1,347,000 for the six-month period ended July 4, 1999, compared to $3,829,000 for the same period in 1998. Capital expenditures in both periods were primarily to purchase tooling and manufacturing equipment. The Company anticipates continued expenditures for tooling and manufacturing equipment purchases associated with product development and an increase in overall production capacity. In July 1996, the Company issued $15.0 million of Convertible Notes to certain investment partnerships affiliated with The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. ("GS Group") which bear interest at 5% per annum and expire in 2003. Interest on the loan is paid quarterly. GS Group may convert the outstanding balance of the loan into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $14.85 per share at any time during the life of the loan, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. If not converted, the loan is payable in annual installments starting August 2001. The estimated fair value of the convertible loan based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar liabilities, approximates its carrying value. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under its bank credit facility at July 4, 1999 and January 3, 1999. This credit facility, established in March 1997 and amended in March 1998, provides for total borrowings up to $15,000,000 secured by equipment, inventory, receivables, and intangibles. The credit facility is a discretionary working capital line of credit, limited to eligible receivables and inventory, which bears interest at the bank's reference rate plus 0.75 8 of 15 percent. Borrowings are due on demand. Pursuant to the Company's agreement with GS Group, borrowings are limited to $12,500,000 in 1999. The Company completed a public offering of Common Stock in the second quarter of 1998 netting approximately $38,200,000 from the sale of 1,368,500 shares. The Common Stock was priced at $30.00 per share. All of the shares were sold by the Company. Management believes that anticipated cash flows from operations, funds available through its bank credit facility and the net proceeds from the sale of securities will provide sufficient capital resources for current operations, expansion of plant capacity and product development. The Board of Directors currently intends to retain all earnings for expansion of the Company's business. YEAR 2000 ISSUES The Company understands the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue to be the result of computer programs using a two-digit format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer systems would be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could cause a system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in operations either through internal failures or through the effect of failures which might happen externally, and which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. In 1998, the Company developed a three-phase program for Y2K information systems readiness. The intent of Phase I was to identify those systems with which the Company has exposure to Y2K issues and assess the ability to make them Y2K ready. The intent of Phase II was to implement corrective actions to remedy issues discovered in Phase I. The intent of Phase III is to test all remedial corrective actions taken and, if necessary, complete a contingency plan. The Company has identified three major areas determined to be critical for successful Y2K readiness: (1) financial and manufacturing information system applications, (2) manufacturing automation and (3) third-party relationships. The Company, in accordance with Phase I of the program, has completed an internal review of all systems and contacted all software suppliers to determine major areas of exposure to Y2K issues. In the financial and information system area, a number of applications have been identified as Y2K ready due to their recent implementation, and no material issues were discovered. These include the Company's core financial and reporting systems. In the manufacturing area, the Company has completed its review and did not find any material issues. In the third-party area, the Company continues its assessment of its major third-party relationships. Many of these parties state that they intend to be Y2K ready by 2000. The Company has completed Phase II of the program, as well as the testing component of Phase III. The Company has developed contingency plans in conjunction with Phase III and is in the process of finalizing them. 9 of 15 The Company is in the process of determining what total costs will be incurred in connection with its Y2K readiness initiatives. Expenses incurred to date are not material and future expenses estimated by the Company are not expected to be material. The Company will fund all Y2K readiness expenses through operating cash flows. Management of the Company believes it has an effective program in place to resolve Y2K issues in a timely manner. As noted above, the Company has not yet completed all necessary phases of its Y2K readiness program. In the event that the Company does not complete any additional phases or is exposed to Y2K problems beyond its reasonable control, the Company may be unable to take customer orders, manufacture and ship products, invoice customers or collect payments, and may be generally subject to litigation or disruptions in the economy which could materially adversely affect the Company. The amount of potential liability or lost revenue that might result from such events cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report (as well as press releases, other public documents, other written statements and oral statements made or to be made by the Company) contains statements relating to future events or the future financial performance of the Company which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the effects of economic conditions, continued customer acceptance of products, the Company's reliance on proprietary technology, pending patent litigation, product obsolescence, the Company's ability to manage growth, risks associated with international operations, competition, product liability, and other factors described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's operations are not currently subject to market risks for interest rates, foreign currency rates, commodity prices or other market price risks of a material nature. 10 of 15 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company and several other water filtration companies were named as defendants in a civil proceeding initiated in January 1997 by Brita U.S.A., a subsidiary of Clorox Company, which asserted that the defendants infringed one of Brita's patents relating to pitcher products. On March 3, 1999, summary judgment was entered in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, dismissing all claims against the Company and the other defendants. Brita has filed a Notice of Appeal regarding the Court's decision. The Company will continue to vigorously defend this case. The Company was aware of Brita's patent prior to developing the PUR pitcher design and believes that it does not infringe Brita's patent. The design of the PUR Plus pitcher, dispenser and related filter cartridge differs in material respects from the design of the pitcher products that are the subject of this litigation. The Company has been named as the defendant in a civil proceeding initiated in May 1999 by KX Industries, L.P., a former supplier to the Company, which asserts that the Company is infringing a KX patent relating to processes for manufacturing carbon blocks. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case. The Company was aware of the KX patent prior to developing its manufacturing processes and believes that it does not infringe KX's patent. The Company from time to time is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, none of which is expected to result in any material loss to the Company. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds On April 29, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted Amendment No. 2 to the Rights Agreement, dated January 30, 1996, between the Company and Norwest Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent. The Rights Agreement previously required that a majority of the "Continuing Directors," as defined in the Rights Agreement, approve the redemption of the Rights, the exchange of the Rights after any person becomes an Acquiring Person, and certain other actions under the Rights Agreement. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, these actions now require the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors. Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities Not applicable 11 of 15 Item 4.
