Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Results of Operations
First Three Months 2004 Versus First Three Months 2003
Overall Results and Outlook
First quarter 2004 results improved over first quarter 2003, primarily on the
strength of increased sales of aluminum Cluster Box Units (CBUs) as well as
maintaining market share in the Plastic CBU area. The Company has maintained its
gross margins despite price reductions extended to the United States Postal
Service (USPS) and continued weakness in certain areas of the economy in which
the Company sells its products (including entertainment and leisure activity
facilities). Net income increased by $109,000 in 2004 versus 2003 as a result of
the increased sales volume and decreases in interest expense. Earnings per share
on a diluted basis increased to $0.35 in 2004 versus $0.28 in 2003, as a result
of the increased net income.
The Company believes that the long-term outlook for sales of Cluster Box Units
(CBUs) volume remains favorable in light of the continued USPS commitment to the
CBU program and its resulting operating cost reduction benefits. In April 2003,
the Company's contracts with the USPS were renewed for a one-year term expiring
on April 15, 2004. These contracts were extended by the USPS in April 2004
through October 14, 2004. We have been advised that the USPS will, as in past
years, seek bids with respect to these contracts later in 2004. The current
contracts cover all four types of plastic CBUs, aluminum CBUs and the Outdoor
Parcel Locker (OPL). As previously disclosed, total CBU demand is influenced by
a number of factors over which the Company has no control, including but not
limited to: USPS budgets, policies and financial performance, domestic new
housing starts, postal rate increases, postal purchasing practices and the
weather, as these units are installed outdoors. The Company believes its CBU
product line, including its aluminum CBUs represent the best value when all
factors including price, quality of design and construction, long-term
durability and service are considered.
Net Sales
- ---------
Sales for the first three months of 2004 of $9,554,000 increased $722,000 or 8%
compared to sales of $8,832,000 during the same period in 2003. Plastic locker
sales to the USPS and developers or distributors for use in the delivery of U.S.
mail totaled $4,497,000 in 2004 compared to $4,482,000 during 2003. Plastic CBUs
sales were $4,386,000 in 2004 compared to $4,339,000 during 2003. Sales of
Outdoor Parcel Lockers (OPLs) were $111,000 in 2004 compared to $143,000 in
2003, as a result of lower purchase levels by the USPS. The modest increase in
sales of Plastic CBUs from 2003 to 2004 is the result of increased purchases
from the USPS, which offset price reductions, ranging from zero to 2% depending
on the CBU or OPL type, that became effective in April 2003. The price
reductions had an impact of reducing sales by approximately $52,000 in the first
quarter of 2004 versus the comparable period in 2003.
Sales of metal, coin and key-only and electronically controlled lockers, and
aluminum CBUs were $5,057,000 for the three months of 2004 and $4,350,000 for
8
the three months of 2003. This $707,000 increase consists of additional sales of
$740,000 made by the Company's subsidiary, Security Manufacturing Corporation
(SMC), offset by decreases in sales of other locker products, as well as the
termination of the Company's luggage cart services at the Detroit International
Airport in January 2004. The Company no longer provides any luggage cart rental
services.
Cost of Sales
- -------------
Consolidated cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 69.1% in 2004 versus
68.9% in 2003.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses
- --------------------------------------------
Selling, administrative and general expenses were $2,007,000 during the first
quarter of 2004, an increase of $48,000 from $1,959,000 during the first quarter
of 2003. The increase is primarily due to an increase of $61,000 in engineering
costs in 2004 compared to 2003 amounts, relating to product development. Certain
selling expenses increased due to increased sales, these were offset by a charge
of $65,000 in 2003 for a severance agreement relating to a terminated management
employee at SMC. Selling, administrative and general expenses were 21% and 22%
of first quarter sales in 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense for 2004 was $116,000 compared to $148,000 for 2003. The
decrease resulted from lower outstanding debt during 2004 compared to 2003 as
the Company continues to make scheduled debt payments on its outstanding debt.
No new long term debt was incurred during 2003 or 2004. The Company has made
debt payments of $1,630,000 during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2004.
Other Income - net
- ------------------
Other income - net consists primarily of cash discounts earned, which were
$35,000 in 2004 versus $23,000 in 2003, and service maintenance revenues, which
were $15,000 in 2004 and $26,000 in 2003.
Income Taxes
- ------------
Income taxes increased in 2004 versus 2003 due to the increased income before
income taxes. The effective tax rate was 39% in 2004 and 2003.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
The Company's liquidity is reflected in the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities or current ratio and its working capital. The current ratio was 3.2
to 1 at March 31, 2004 and 3.1 to 1 at December 31, 2003. Working capital, the
excess of current assets over current liabilities, was $10,308,000 at March 31,
2004, an increase of $455,000 over $9,853,000 at December 31, 2003.
Cash used in operating activities was $1,229,000 during the first three months
of 2004 compared to $95,000 of cash provided by operating activities in 2003.
The use of cash in 2004 relates primarily to replacing and increasing inventory
of plastic and aluminum CBUs that were below normal levels at December 31, 2003
in preparation for historically higher shipments as the weather improves in most
9
of the United States. Anticipating that USPS order patterns and sales to other
customers will be similar to previous years, the Company expects that cash will
be generated by operations for the balance of 2004.
The Company's policy is to maintain modern equipment and adequate capacity.
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company expended $67,000 for capital
additions. Currently, there are no significant capital projects forecasted by
the Company. It is expected that capital expenditures will be funded from cash
on hand or cash generated from operations in 2004.
The Company anticipates that cash on hand and cash generated from operations in
2004 will be adequate to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and
debt payments. However, if necessary, the Company has a $3,000,000 revolving
bank line of credit available to assist in satisfying future operating cash
needs, no amount is outstanding under the line of credit at March 31, 2004.
Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting standards that the Company believes will
have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
