NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Quality Products, Inc. (the "Company") Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999, for additional disclosures including a summary of the Company's accounting policies, which have not significantly changed. The information furnished reflects all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on a consistent basis. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2000. 2. Inventories Inventories at December 31, 1999 consist of: Raw materials and supplies $ 442,495 Work-in-process 342,914 Finished goods 22,242 ----------- Total $ 807,651 =========== 7 3. Earnings Per Share On December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Statement No. 128 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Under Statement 128, the Company was required to change the method previously used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options are excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of earnings per share is as follows: 3 Months Ended December 31: 1999 1998 ---- ---- BASIC: Average Shares Outstanding 2,554,056 2,554,056 Net Income $207,196 $173,443 Basic Earnings Per Share $0.08 $0.07 8 Note 3 - continued 3 Months Ended December 31: 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- DILUTED: Average Shares Outstanding 2,554,056 2,554,056 Net Effect of Dilutive Stock options and warrants based on the treasury stock method using average market price 0 0 Total Shares 2,554,056 2,554,056 Net Income $ 207,196 $ 173,443 Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.08 $ 0.07 Average Market Price of Common Stock $ 0.42 $ 0.39 Ending Market Price of Common Stock $ 0.35 $ 0.35 The following securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share at December 31, 1999 because they are considered anti-dilutive under FAS 128: 1) Options granted to a Company officer and director to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.00 per share and 175,000 shares at $1.00 per share. 2) Warrants issued pursuant to the Company's debentures to purchase 495,000 shares of common stock @ $2.00 per share and 330,000 shares at $1.00 per share. 3) Options granted to Company employees to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share. 4) Notes convertible into 533,333 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. 9 4. Notes Payable Maturities of notes payable for the 5 years succeeding December 31, 1999 are: 2000 $1,098,464 2001 440,069 ---------- Total $1,538,533 ========== 5. Income Taxes The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are substantially composed of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, for which the Company has made a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance decreased approximately $(91,000) in the period ended December 31, 1999 and decreased approximately $(77,000) in the period ended December 31, 1998. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for Federal and State income tax purposes of approximately $28,328,000 and $29,181,000, respectively, which is available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2010. 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 as Compared to December 31, 1998 Net Sales for the three months ended December 31, 1999 were $1,703,279 as compared to $1,624,041 for the three months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $79,238 or 4.9%. Gross profit was $686,805 or 40.3% of sales as compared to $552,768 or 34.0% of sales for the same period a year earlier. Sales increased due to a more standardized product mix, which decreases delivery times. The Company shipped 60 units in the current period compared to 54 units in the same period last year. The Company maintains a strong backlog of approximately $1.1 million. Gross profit increased as a percentage of sales due to the unusually high standardized product mix discussed above. The Company expects gross profit percentages to decrease in the next quarter. The Company expects sales for the three months ending March 31, 2000 to reach approximately $1.6 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $355,735 during the three months ended December 31, 1998 to $460,181 for the three months ended December 31, 1999. Selling general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 27.0% during the three months ended December 31, 1999 as compared to 21.9% for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Of the approximately $104,000 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, approximately $66,000 is due to non-recurring expenses for the investigation of new business opportunities. The remaining increase of approximately $38,000 reflects rising labor and benefits expenses as the Company attempts to remain competitive in a tight labor market, and additional commissions due to outside sales representatives. The percentage is expected to remain constant in the next period. Net interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 1999 was $18,790 as compared to $19,279 for the comparable period a year earlier. The decrease is due primarily to the reduction of the principal on the Company's outstanding indebtedness. The Company currently has $1,450,000 of 6% debt represented by $1,050,000 first secured debt issued in November 1997 and $400,000 second secured convertible debt. In August 1998, QPI Multipress, Inc. entered into a loan agreement with a local bank to finance computer equipment. The agreement allowed Multipress to borrow up to $150,000 at 8.04% interest and to repay the loan over 39 months. Currently, there is $88,533 outstanding on this loan. Net income for the period was $207,196 as compared to $173,443 for the same three month period a year earlier, an increase of $33,753 or 19.5%. The income tax provision in the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 includes a benefit related to utilization of NOL carry forwards of approximately $89,000 and $74,600 respectively. The 1999 and 1998 provision relates to the Company's city income taxes. 11 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a working capital surplus of $400,452 as compared to a working capital surplus of $977,732 at December 31, 1998 and a working capital surplus of $1,102,770 at September 30, 1999. The decrease is due to the transfer of a majority of the Company's long-term debt into current liabilities as the debt is now due within one year. However, the surplus should continue to increase as the Company anticipates profitable operations in the future. The Company's major source of liquidity continues to be from internal operations. Year 2000 Compliance To date, the Company has experienced no problems relating to the year 2000 computer issue either internally or from any of its suppliers or customers. 12 PART II Item 6.
