NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Adjustments
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and instructions to Form 10-Q. While these statements
reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results
for the interim periods presented, they do not include all of the information
and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Inventory Pricing
Inventories consist primarily of purchased goods for sale. Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) and first-in, first-out methods of accounting. Because the
inventory determination under the LIFO method can only be made at the end of
each fiscal year, interim financial results are based on estimated LIFO amounts
and are subject to final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.
3. Acquisitions
In May 1996, the Company acquired the operating assets of KPM, a distributor of
photographic and graphic arts supplies and equipment in Michigan and portions of
northern Indiana, for approximately $2.4 million.
In August 1996, the Company acquired the operating assets (excluding accounts
receivable) of VGC Corporation's St. Louis, Missouri operation for approximately
$900,000. This operation, which is a distributor of photographic and graphic
arts supplies and equipment in the St. Louis area, was combined into the
Company's existing St. Louis operation.
These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases, and, accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements include the operations since the acquisition
date. The pro-forma results of these acquisitions would not have had a
significant impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations.
4. Disposition
In July 1996, the Company sold substantially all the assets of its Rochester,
New York operation for approximately $2.2 million which approximated the
financial basis of the assets at the time of the sale. The pro-forma results of
operations, assuming the disposition had occurred at the beginning of the
period, would not have been materially effected by this disposition.
5. Subsequent Events
On November 1, 1996, the Company acquired the operating assets (excluding
accounts receivable) of VGC Corporation's Minneapolis, Minnesota; Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; Des Moines, Iowa; and Omaha, Nebraska operations for approximately
$11.2 million. This acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase and will be
included in the Company's operating results from the date of the acquisition.
Historical annual sales of these operations are approximately $60 million.
On November 1, 1996, the Company entered into a three year revolving credit
agreement with a total commitment of $50 million. Borrowing rates available to
the Company under this agreement are at prime rate or less. In conjunction with
obtaining this facility, the Company terminated its prior three revolving credit
agreements which had a total commitment of $27.5 million.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $924,000 ($.14 per
share) on sales of $89,344,000 compared to $451,000 ($.07 per share) on sales of
$88,156,000 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September
30, 1996, net income was $2,669,000 ($.41 per share) on sales of $264,201,000
compared to net income of $792,000 ($.12 per share) on sales of $266,891,000 for
the same period last year.
The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 included a one-time
restructuring charge of $1,315,000 ($794,000 after tax) relating to the
consolidation of five distribution centers, realigning two others, and the
centralizing of certain financial and information services. Excluding this
charge, the net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 would be
$1,586,000 ($.24 per share) .
Sales for the quarter increased 1% compared to the same quarter last year and
increased 2% over the immediately preceding quarter. Sales for the nine month
period decreased 1% compared to the same period last year. The increase for the
quarter, which reversed the modest declines reported in earlier quarters during
the year, was primarily due to increased sales in the midwest and west.
Gross profit as a percent of sales was 18% for the quarter and 17.7% for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to 17.3% and 17.7%,
respectively, for the same periods last year. The increase for the quarter was
primarily due to changes in product mix.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 15.9%
for the quarter and 15.6% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996
compared to 15.8% and 16.1%, respectively, for the same periods last year. The
decrease for the nine-month period is primarily due to cost savings from the
restructuring program described above, which commenced during the third quarter
of 1995.
Interest expense was $348,000 for the quarter and $1,291,000 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1996 compared to $611,000 and $1,559,000 for the same
quarter and nine-month period last year. This decrease is due to a decline in
debt levels as a result of the working capital levels decreasing.
The effective tax rates for the quarter and nine-month period ended September
30, 1996 were 40.5% and 40.4%, respectively, compared to 41% and 42.7%,
respectively, for the same periods last year. The lower rates in 1996 are
primarily due to non-deductible expenses being a lesser percent to income.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 was $10,358,000 compared to $4,458,000 for the same period last year.
This increase in cash flow is due to both improvements in working capital levels
and cash generated from operating income. In 1996, decreases in working capital
resulted in an increase in cash flows of $5,795,000 compared to $1,655,000 in
1995. Excluding the effect of changes in assets and liabilities, the cash
provided was $4,563,000 in 1996 compared to $2,803,000 in 1995.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,918,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $1,836,000 for the same period last year. In
1996, the Company incurred a net cash expenditure on the acquisition and sale of
businesses of $1,082,000. Capital expenditures for the nine months in 1996 were
$567,000. Additional capital expenditures for the year, for which there are no
material commitments, are anticipated to be approximately $900,000. In addition,
the Company will expend approximately $11.2 million for the acquisition of four
locations of VGC Corporation during the fourth quarter of 1996.
Net cash used in financing activities was $8,440,000 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996 compared to $3,240,000 for the same period last year.
As a result of the significant funds generated from operating activities, the
Company was able to reduce debt by approximately $7.4 million during 1996. The
balance of the cash used was for dividend payments and the repurchase of the
Company's common stock. For the same period last year, the outflow was primarily
for dividend payments.
At September 30, 1996, the Company's primary source of debt financing was three
revolving credit agreements with a total commitment of $27.5 million of which
$20.7 million was outstanding. In November, 1996, the Company terminated these
agreements and executed a three-year revolving credit agreement for $50 million.
In addition, the Company has available $10.7 million in uncommitted lines of
which none was outstanding at September 30, 1996. The Company believes these
ongoing facilities combined with the cash flow from operations will be adequate
to meet the capital requirements of the Company.
