In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indications of results for a full year. For further financial information, refer to the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1997, included in the Company's Form 10-K/A for that period. In January 1997, the Company acquired Futronix Corporation and Wire & Cable Specialties Corporation ("Wire & Cable") in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the fiscal 1997 consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows have been restated to include the operations of Futronix Corporation and Wire & Cable. Cash and Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- Temporary investments may be greater than the cash and cash equivalents balance because they may be offset by individual bank accounts with a book overdraft position within the same bank where multiple accounts are maintained. Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 - --------------------------------------- On September 23, 1997, the Company issued $180 million of 4.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Notes") in a public offering. On October 2, 1997, during the Company's third quarter of fiscal 1998, an additional $27 million of Notes were issued pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters' over- allotment option. The Notes are convertible into Kent common stock at a conversion price of $49.53 per share, subject to adjustment in certain events. Interest is payable semiannually and the Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at set redemption prices, plus accrued interest, beginning September 6, 2000. 7 of 14 Sales To Major Customers - ------------------------ For the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended September 27, 1997, sales to Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") represented 13.4% and 11.0% of net sales, respectively. For the thirteen week period ended September 28, 1996, sales to Compaq represented 10.7% of net sales. Recent Pronouncement - -------------------- In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS 128"). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and will require restatement of all prior period comparative amounts. 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 following table presents pro forma earnings per share amounts computed using FAS 128. Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended -------------------------- ---------------------------- September 27, September 28, September 27, September 28, 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------- Pro forma earnings per share: Earnings per common share - basic $ .36 $ .27 $ .69 $ .64 ===== ===== ===== ===== Earnings per common share - assuming dilution $ .34 $ .25 $ .66 $ .59 ===== ===== ===== ===== MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations - --------------------- Net sales for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 27, 1997 increased $43.5 million, or 35.0%, and $70.4 million, or 28.2%, compared to the same periods a year ago. The sales increase reflected strong internal growth and was primarily driven by increased demand from existing customers and an expanded customer base in both the distribution and contract manufacturing businesses. 8 of 14 Gross profit increased $9.9 million, or 35.3%, for the thirteen weeks and increased $12.8 million, or 21.4%, for the twenty-six weeks when compared to the corresponding periods a year ago. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the thirteen weeks was 22.6%, remaining the same as the corresponding period of the previous year. For the twenty-six week period, gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 22.8%, compared to 24.0% a year ago. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased sales, offset by a decrease in the gross profit percentage in the twenty-six week period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the twenty-six week period resulted from pricing pressures and product mix with a lower percentage of certain higher margin contract manufacturing business. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses declined as a percentage of sales to 13.4% from 14.5% for the thirteen weeks and to 13.5% from 14.3% for the twenty-six weeks compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The decline as a percentage of sales reflects the Company's continued focus on cost containment to reduce such expenses as a percentage of sales. SG&A expenses increased $4.5 million, or 25.1%, for the thirteen week period and $7.7 million, or 21.6%, for the twenty-six week period, compared to the same periods in the previous year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to the expenses necessary to support the growth in the company's existing operations. Interest expense decreased due to the retirement of all outstanding debt of Futronix Corporation and Wire & Cable subsequent to acquisition by the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997. Also, interest expense includes interest on the 4.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Notes") for the last four days of the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended September 27, 1997. Other-net consists principally of interest and dividend income generated by cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in interest and dividend income resulted from lower average invested cash, cash equivalents and trading securities. The net proceeds from the Notes were invested only during the last four days of the thirteen and twenty-six week periods. 9 of 14 Net earnings increased $2.8 million, or 40.2%, and $2.1 million, or 12.9% for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The additional profit from the increased sales and the Company's continued focus on cost containment were the primary reasons for the improved profitability. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Working capital at September 27, 1997 was $336.9 million, an increase of $186.0 million, or 123.3%, from March 29, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of net proceeds from the Notes offering, and to a lesser extent, growth in accounts receivable and inventories in relation to current and future sales levels. Included in the Company's working capital at September 27, 1997 are investments of $197.3 million, an increase of $168.5 million since March 29, 1997, primarily the result of the Notes offering. The Company's investment strategy is low-risk and short-term, keeping the funds readily available to meet capital requirements as they arise in the normal course of business. At September 27, 1997, funds were invested primarily in a reverse repurchase agreement and an institutional money market fund. Both are compatible with the Company's stated investment strategy. The Company maintains a $25 million line of credit with a bank. As of September 27, 1997, there was no indebtedness outstanding under the line of credit. The Company intends to apply its capital resources to expand its business by establishing or acquiring similar distribution and manufacturing operations in geographic areas that are attractive to the Company, by acquiring new facilities and by enlarging or improving existing facilities. In addition to the capital required to purchase existing businesses or to fund start-up operations, the expansion of the Company's operations at both new and existing locations will require greater levels of capital to finance the purchase of additional equipment, increased levels of inventory and greater accounts receivable. The Company believes that current resources including the net proceeds from the Notes and the line of credit, along with funds generated from operations, should be sufficient to meet its current capital requirements. 10 of 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Items 1, 2, 3 and 5 are not applicable and have been omitted.
