CO. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SEGMENT INFORMATION - The Company is engaged in the business of remanufacturing and selling on a wholesale basis remanufactured engines and other remanufactured automobile parts for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury automobiles and trucks. The Company is a franchised remanufacturer for Ford Motor Company with a defined sales territory. The Company purchases the majority of its new raw materials from Ford Motor Company. Remanufactured engines for non-Ford vehicles are also marketed on a limited basis. The principal markets for the Company's products are automotive dealers and jobber supply houses. The Company has no separate segments, major customers, foreign operations or export sales. INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last- in first-out method) or market. INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments are considered as either trading securities or available for sale securities and, accordingly, are carried at fair value in the Company's financial statements. DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated generally as follows: ASSETS DEPRECIATION METHOD LIVES ------ ------------------- ----- Buildings Straight-line and declining balance 10 - 20 years Machinery and equipment Declining-balance 7 - 10 years Furniture and fixtures Declining-balance 5 - 7 years Trucks and automobiles Declining-balance 3 - 5 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful service lives. The applicable property accounts are relieved of the cost and related accumulated depreciation upon disposition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of disposal. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are recognized primarily upon shipment of products. CASH EQUIVALENTS - For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 8 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earning per share have been computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding (816,000 shares). COMPANY REPRESENTATION - In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of April 30, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company suggests that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995. 2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES INVESTMENTS - During the year ended July 31, 1995 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no effect on the 1995 financial statements. 3. LEASE RECEIVABLE On May 26, 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement with another manufacturer to lease equipment at 8% interest for a sixty-month period. The total minimum lease payments are $61,589 and the unearned income is $32,804 at April 30, 1996. These amounts are shown on a net basis for financial statement purposes. 4. EPA PROJECT COSTS In February, 1991, the Company was served with a complaint from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which contained eight counts of alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company has failed to adequately test and properly transport certain residue of hazardous wastes which it was treating at its facility. The Company entered into a Consent Agreement and Consent Order with the EPA, dated May 6, 1994, which provides for settlement of this complaint. This settlement calls for payment of a civil penalty of $32,955, and for the completion of certain remedial projects, estimated to cost approximately $149,725. Total costs paid as of July 31, 1995 are $90,113. The remaining amount of $59,612 has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales for the third quarter, 1996 were 27% higher than for the third quarter a year ago. The sales increase was led by sales of transmission assemblies and electric fuel pumps. Transmission unit sales were 923 units this year compared to 709 units the third quarter last year. Electric fuel pump unit sales increased to 3734 units from 1480 units sold the third quarter last year. The 77% increase in income from operations was due to increased sales and to successful production cost cutting efforts. Cash and cash equivalents were about $800,000 higher than at the beginning of the fiscal year. This increase is due to increased earnings, reduced income tax payments due to credits from prior years, and investment in inventories a year ago. Inventories, accounts receivable, and accounts payable remained within normal business fluctuations. PART II Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: With respect to the Supplemental Environmental Project (the "SEP") being performed by the Company pursuant to the May 6, 1994 Consent Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Company has paid total costs of $90,113 for work performed. No further direction has been received from the EPA regarding any testing or clean-up that may be required for contamination found in the large pit after the sludge was removed. No estimate of these costs can be made at this time. If the EPA determines that no further work is required under the SEP, the Company will owe a deferred penalty of approximately $32,955 under the terms of the Consent Agreement with the EPA. Please refer to the Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-KSB report for the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 for further discussion of this matter. Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES: NONE. ------ Item 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES: NONE. ------ Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS: NONE. ------ Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION: On April 29, 1996, the production employees ratified a new three year collective bargaining agreement. This agreement was subsequently signed, and went into effect May 5, 1996. This agreement provides for wage increases of 2.5%, 2.6% and 2.7% respectively at the beginning of each year of the agreement. Other changes were not significant. Item 6.
