Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1996
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of The Morgan Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting
and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31,
1995.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Morgan Drive
Away, Inc. ("Morgan"), TDI, Inc. ("TDI"), Interstate Indemnity
Company ("Interstate"), and Morgan Finance, Inc. ("Finance")
all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Note 2. Indebtedness
The Company has extended, through April 30, 1997, various
credit facilities with banks at terms similar to those terms
disclosed in the December 31, 1995 financial statements. The
Company expects to renew or extend these agreements in the
normal course of business.
Note 3. In February of 1996, Morgan Drive Away adopted a Special
Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("Plan") under which Morgan Drive
Away's President and Chief Executive Officer purchased 70,000
shares of Class A Common stock from treasury stock at the then
current market value price of $560,000. Under the terms of the
Plan, $56,000 was delivered to the Company and a promissory
note was executed in the amount of $504,000 bearing an
interest rate of five (5%) percent per annum due in 2003. The
Plan allows for repayment of the note using shares at $8.00
per share. Morgan Drive Away has the right to repurchase, at
$8.00 per share, 56,000 shares during the first year of the
agreement and 28,000 during the second year.

===== ===== ===== =====
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues for the second quarter of 1996 totaled $36.7
million, representing an increase of 16% when compared to operating revenues of
$31.6 million in the second quarter of 1995. Prior to giving effect to the TDI
acquisition, which occurred in May of 1995, second quarter operating revenues
increased by 13%. Year to date operating revenues reached $67.2 million, 15%
above last year's six month revenue of $58.4 million. Prior to giving effect to
the TDI acquisition, the revenue gain for the first six months was 10%. The
revenue growth is credited to the strength of the manufactured housing industry
and revenues generated from driver outsourcing services. Unit shipments by the
manufactured housing industry (considering double-wide units as two shipments)
in the United States increased by approximately 11% through May of 1996 compared
to the similar period in 1995, according to the Manufactured Housing Institute.
The increase in industry production, along with longer miles per move, spurred a
22% increase in manufactured housing outsourcing revenues for the quarter and
20% growth year to date. Specialized transport revenues, which consist of the
transportation of van conversions, automobiles, semi-trailers, military
vehicles, and other commodities by utilizing specialized equipment, decreased
11% during the quarter and 9% year to date. A slight reduction in tent camper
and van conversion production, coupled with reduced industry participation in
travel trailers have led to the decline in specialized transport revenues. The
increase of driver outsourcing revenues for the quarter of 37% and year to date
of 33% was aided by the acquisition of TDI, Inc. Other service revenues, which
includes revenues from Interstate Indemnity, Morgan Finance, permit ordering
services, and labor services increased 20% for the quarter and 29% year to date
over the same period of the prior year.
Operating Costs
Operating costs as a percent of revenue increased from 89% in the
second quarter of 1995 to 91.5% in the second quarter of 1996. Year to date
operating costs are 91.9% versus 89.2% for the first six months of 1995. Drivers
pay on a percentage of revenue increased 1.5% for the quarter and year to date.
The higher pay percentage was principally attributed to margin compression in
the Company's Specialized Transport Division, higher pay percentage in driver
outsourcing due to lower margin commercial vehicle business, and a change in mix
in manufactured housing business to lower margin accounts. Operating costs also
increased due to higher claims reserves, highway road taxes, and higher
investment in safety and dispatching personnel without corresponding increase in
revenue levels.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization as a percent of revenue remained constant
at 1% for the quarter and year to date increased from 1% for the first six
months of 1995 to 1.1% in 1996. The increase in depreciation and amortization
cost from $313,000 in the second quarter of 1995 to $380,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 relates to higher capital expenditure levels in 1995 and a full
quarter amortization of the TDI acquisition in 1996.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter
declined as a percentage of revenue from 6.1% in the second quarter of 1995 to
5.7% in the second quarter of 1996. Year to date, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 6.4% of revenue in 1995 to 6.1% in 1996.
Dollars expended on selling, general and administrative expenses increased from
$1,925,000 in the second quarter of 1995 to $2,076,000 in 1996. This increase
was principally related to the inclusion of the TDI acquisition for the full
quarter in 1996. The TDI acquisition also explains the increase in year to date
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income decreased from $1,242,000 in the second quarter of
1995 to $678,000 in the second quarter of 1996, and year to date operating
income has decline from $1,979,000 for the first six months of 1995 to $630,000.
The decline in operating revenues for the quarter and year to date is primarily
at the Morgan Drive Away, Inc. subsidiary level and is related to higher
operating costs.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense during the second quarter was $109,000 compared to
interest income during the second quarter of 1995 of $1,000. Year to date
interest expense is $172,000 compared to interest income of $19,000 for the
first six months of 1995. Interest expense in 1996 is primarily related to (i)
interest expense associated with the TDI acquisition ($74,000 year to date),
(ii) treasury share purchases and early redemption of preferred stock which has
reduced the Company's cash levels, and (iii) higher working capital levels in
1996 giving rise to additional interest cost.
Pretax Income (Loss)
Pretax income decreased from 3.9% of revenue in 1995 to 1.5% of revenue
in the second quarter of 1996. Year to date pretax income decreased from 3.4% of
revenue in 1995 to .6% of revenue in 1996.
Income Taxes
The provision for federal and state income taxes was 27% of pretax
income in the second quarter of 1996 compared to a provision of 39% in the
second quarter of 1995. The year to date provision for federal and state income
taxes is 7% compared to 39% year to date in 1995. The lower provision for the
quarter and year to date is associated with the low income being generated from
The Morgan Group, Inc.'s subsidiaries excluding the earnings from Interstate
Indemnity.
Net Income
Net income was $417,000, or 15 cents per share, in the first quarter of
1996, compared to a net income of $764,000, or 27 cents primary earnings per
common share in the second quarter of 1995. Year to date net income was
$426,000, 16 cents primary earnings per common share, compared to $1,227,000 of
net income, or 42 cents primary earnings per common share for the first six
months of 1995.
Seasonality
Shipments of manufactured homes tend to decline in the winter months in
areas where poor weather conditions inhibit transport. In addition, in the
winter months relocation of consumer rental trucks decline. These two factors
may reduce revenues in the first and fourth quarters of the year. RV movements
are generally stronger in the spring when dealers build stock in anticipation of
summer vacation season and late summer and early fall when new vehicle models
are introduced. The Company's revenues, therefore, are stronger in the second
and third quarters of the year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $2,851,000 as of December 31,
1995 to $1,243,000 as of June 30, 1996. In addition, the Company borrowed
$1,850,000 on its working capital line of credit. Increased receivables of
$2,727,000 during the first six months of 1996 was $246,000 higher than the
comparable period in 1995. The increase is attributed to an increase in days
sales outstanding from 28 as of June 30, 1995 to 29 as of June 30, 1996. Prepaid
expenses decreased $411,000 during the first six months of 1996 which compared
favorably to a $594,000 increase during the first six months of 1995. The
changes in prepaid expenses between years relates to a company prepayment of a
portion of its 1995/1996 liability insurance premiums in June of 1995 while this
transaction in the current year did not take place until July of 1996. Accounts
payable and accrued liabilities declined $1,865,000 in 1996 compared to an
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 1995 of $910,000. The
increase in 1995 is specifically related to the premium finance agreement
entered into for the Company's insurance liability premiums of $1,145,000 in
June of 1995. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 1996
is related to (i) payments made on Workers' Compensation liability claims of
$400,000, and (ii) an increase in cash overdrafts totaling $800,000. Cash
expended on investing activities was $452,000 during the first six months of
1996 compared to $2,857,000 in the first six months of 1995. The expenditures in
1995 related to the purchase of intangibles of TDI, purchase of property and
equipment comprised principally of operating assets, and an increase in the
number of driver loans made by Morgan Finance, Inc. During 1996, the Company has
reduced its expenditures on operating equipment and reduced the level of
financing for new driver loans through Morgan Finance, Inc. Financing activities
in 1996 represented by borrowings under its working capital line of credit of
$1,850,000 less $495,000 of payments in outstanding bank and seller financed
notes, and payments of cash dividends, and treasury stock purchases of $203,000.
On July 31, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the potential repurchase of up
to an additional 50,000 shares of its Class A common stock. The Company has
substantially completed the purchase of a previously authorized 100,000 share
stock buy back. At June 30, 1996, the Company had $1,200,000 of cash, marketable
securities, and short-term investments, in addition to unused bank facilities of
$12,000,000. The Company expects current cash flow from existing operations,
existing cash and line of credit to be adequate to fund the existing operations
for the foreseeable future.
FORWARD-LOOKING DISCUSSION
Management believes the Company is situated to begin to show improved
results toward the end of the calendar year. The Company initiated modest price
increases late in the second quarter and expects to realize significant
insurance savings in the second half due to a favorable insurance renegotiation
completed in June. These profit enhancing measures will be partially mitigated
by the prospect of continued softness in the specialized transport and consumer
rental truck relocations as well as the macro-economic factors impacting the
market. The matters discussed in this paragraph are forward looking statements
that involve risk and uncertainties. Potential risk and uncertainties include,
without limitation, continued competitive pressures in the market place, the
effect competitive factors and the Company's reaction to them may have on
consumer and business buying decisions with respect to the Company's services,
the cost of accident claims on the Company's results, and the ability to
continue to recruit qualified drivers to service the business. These factors may
cause actual results to differ materially from what the Company has projected.
