Notes to Condensed Financial Statements September 30, 1996 and 1995 (1) Basis of Presentation - ------------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes which would be presented were such financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements presented in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. (2) Inventories - --------------- Inventories at September 30, 1996 (unaudited) and December 31, 1995 consist of: 1996 1995 ---------- --------- Raw materials $ 897,880 797,990 Work-in-process 1,005,000 575,957 Finished goods 853,747 923,375 ---------- --------- $2,756,627 2,297,322 ========== ========= ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended - --------------------- September 30, September 30, -------------------- ------------------- (Unaudited) 1996 1995 1996 1995 (amounts in thousands) Net sales by division: SWISS AMERICAN $5,719 $3,376 $14,361 $ 9,883 ROYAL-ANGELUS 2,357 2,243 7,032 7,455 ------ ------ ------- ------- Total $8,076 $5,619 $21,393 $17.338 ====== ====== ======= ======= Sales in thousands of pounds by division: SWISS AMERICAN $3,886 $2,505 $ 9,978 $ 7,215 ROYAL-ANGELUS 4,733 4,217 13,693 14,255 Swiss American Sausage Co. Meat Division - ---------------------------------------- Sales by the processed meat division increased about 45% in dollars and 38% in pounds in the 1st nine months of 1996 and increased 69% in dollars and 55% in pounds in the 3rd quarter of 1996, over the same periods in 1995. Sales in dollars increased proportionately more than in pounds because of higher selling prices reflecting higher meat costs. Swiss's sales are higher primarily because of special pizza-chain orders. Swiss has made a substantial profit for the 1st nine months of 1996. -4- Plant employees are represented by United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 101, AFL-CIO, under a collective bargaining agreement renewed July 10, 1995 to expire March 31, 1998. There has been no significant labor unrest at the division's plants and the Company believes it has a satisfactory relationship with its employees. Royal-Angelus Macaroni Company Pasta Division - --------------------------------------------- The pasta division's sales this year decreased about 6% in dollars and 4% in pounds in the 1st nine months and increased 5% in dollars and 12% in pounds in the 3rd quarter, compared to the same periods last year. The differences in the percent changes in dollars versus pounds resulted from proportionately higher sales of bulk products and lower sales of retail-packaged products. Royal's profit for the 1st nine months of 1996 was substantially lower than the same period last year, but its quarterly profit has increased each quarter of 1996 and its profit for the 3rd quarter of 1996 was higher than for the 3rd quarter of 1995. High flour prices and increased price competition are adversely affecting sales and profits. The Company - ----------- Company sales were up 23% for the 1st nine months of 1996 compared to the 1st nine months of 1995 and were up 44% in the 3rd quarter of 1996 compared to the 3rd quarter of 1995. Net earnings for the 1st nine months of 1996 were $270,843 compared to $72,525 last year, and net earnings for the 3rd quarter were $179,050 compared to a $42,969 loss a year ago. Margins increased to 9.4% from 9% for the 1st nine months and increased to 10.3% from 6.7% for the 3rd quarter, comparing the same periods this year to last. The increased sales at Swiss are the principal cause of the improved margins, from production costs increasing less than proportionate to sales. Administrative expense was up about $50,000 for the 1st nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to an increase in corporate staff payroll and increased expenses for accounting, financial printing, consulting fees relating to Swiss and other outside services. Administrative expense was down about $7,000 in the 3rd quarter of 1996 because of higher bad debt expense in the 3rd quarter of 1995. Distribution expense was down $12,000 for the nine months despite higher sales because Swiss's salesmen payroll and sales commissions decreased, but was up $38,000 for the 3rd quarter on higher sales. Net interest expense increased for the nine months due to interest on the term loan used to purchase the 2nd Royal building, but decreased for the 3rd quarter on less borrowing under the bank line of credit. Other income decreased because a lease of a vacant lot being sublet and a space sharing arrangement at Swiss both ended. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company has generally satisfied its normal working capital requirements with funds derived from operations and borrowings under its bank line of credit. At September 30, 1996, the Company had no borrowings under its $2,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, NA. The line was renewed in May 1996 to expire June 1, 1997, and bears interest at a variable rate of 3/8% over prime. The line provides that if a financial covenant is violated, the Company agrees to grant the bank a security interest in receivables, inventories and equipment. The line prohibits mergers, acquisitions, lending, borrowing, guaranteeing, annual capital expenditures over $500,000 and new annual lease obligations over $100,000 and requires a minimum tangible net worth of $6,790,000, a maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio of -5- 0.75, a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.75, a minimum current ratio of 2, profitable operations on a cumulative quarterly basis and a zero balance for 30 days during the term. The last requirement was fulfilled in early July 1996. The Company is not in violation of any financial covenants. In April 1995, Wells Fargo Bank, NA made a 5 year term loan of $975,000 to the Company to purchase the 2nd Royal building, secured by the building, bearing interest at 2% over the bank's "LIBOR," with a $962,310 balance at September 30, 1996, including the $8,460 current portion. The pasta division occupies 40% of the building and 60% is leased to a tenant. Operations provided only $596 in cash in the 1st nine months of 1996 despite over $700,000 in earnings and depreciation, compared to $765,259 of cash provided by operations in the 1st nine months of 1995, primarily because of an increase in inventories this year versus a decrease last year. The Company's inventories normally reflect the level of sales and last year sales declined in the 3rd quarter, whereas this year sales increased. In addition, Swiss has been selling large quantities of a product which requires an unusually long drying time, causing a high work-in-process inventory at September 30, 1996. Increased sales were accompanied by increased receivables and payables as well as inventories at the end of the 1st nine months of 1996, with the result that, after other smaller operating cash flows, operations consumed virtually all of the cash it produced. Investing and financing activities consumed cash provided by cash on hand. The Company believes that its operations and bank line of credit will provide adequate working capital to satisfy the normal needs of its operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has no long-term debt except the $962,310 secured by 2nd Royal building. All of its other assets are unencumbered. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION -------------------------- ITEM 1.
