NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
WHITEFORD PARTNERS, L.P.
JUNE 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND ACQUISITIONS
Whiteford Partners, L.P., (the Partnership), formerly Granada Foods, L.P.,
was formed on June 30, 1987, as a Delaware limited partnership. Prior to May
4, 1992, the Partnership consisted of a General Partner, Granada Management
Corporation, (Granada), and the Limited Partners. On May 4, 1992, Granada
assigned its sole general partner interest in the Partnership to Gannon
Group, Inc. and the Partnership was renamed Whiteford Partners, L.P.
The operational objectives of the Partnership are to own and operate
businesses engaged in the development, production, processing, marketing,
distribution and sale of food and related products (Food Businesses) for the
purpose of providing quarterly cash distributions to the partners while
providing capital appreciation through the potential appreciation of the
Partnership's Food Businesses. The Partnership expects to operate for twenty
years from inception, or for such shorter period as the General Partner may
determine is in the best interest of the Partnership, or for such shorter
period as determined by the majority of the Limited Partners.
The Partnership Agreement provides that a maximum of 7,500,000 Class A, $10
partnership units can be issued to Limited Partners. Generally, Class A
units have a preference as to cumulative quarterly cash distributions of $.25
per unit. The sharing of income and loss from the Partnership operations is
99% to the Class A and 1% to the General Partner. Amounts and frequency of
distributions are determinable by the General Partner.
On March 26, 1990, the Partnership, through Whiteford Foods Venture, L.P.
"Whiteford's",(formerly Granada/Whiteford Foods Venture, L.P.), a joint
venture with an affiliate of the then General Partner, acquired the business
assets of Whiteford's Inc., a meat processing and distribution company. The
cash purchase price of the assets was $8,275,000 with liabilities of
$3,776,806 assumed. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of the net tangible assets acquired of approximately $3,825,000 was
recorded as goodwill. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and, accordingly, the financial statements include the
operations of Whiteford's from the date of acquisition.
The Partnership entered into a settlement agreement with certain participants
in the Partnership's Distribution Reinvestment and Unit Acquisition Plan
under which the Partnership repurchased 33,165 Class A Units for a total
purchase price of $218,194 payable over a five year period. The first
installment in the amount of $62,049 was paid in 1993 with four subsequent
annual installments of $39,036.25, the most recent of which was paid in July
1996.
At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Partnership had 1,306,890 Class A
limited partnership units issued and outstanding.
The Partnership records distributions of income and/or return of capital to
the General Partner and Limited Partners when paid. Special transfers of
equity, as determined by the General Partner, from the General Partner to the
Limited Partners are recorded in the period of determinations.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
all information and footnotes for a fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
6 of 10
In the opinion of management, the unaudited information includes all
adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position of the
Partnership at June 30, 1996 and the condensed consolidated results of its
operations for the six months ending June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the condensed
consolidated cash flows for the six months ending June 30, 1996 and 1995.
Operating results for the period ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending
December 31, 1996.
NOTE B - INCOME TAXES
The Partnership files an information tax return, the items of income and
expense being allocated to the partners pursuant to the terms of the
Partnership Agreement. Income taxes applicable to the Partnership's results
of operations are the responsibility of the individual partners and have not
been provided for in the accounts of the Partnership.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis set forth below should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $27,750,069 versus
$27,619,996 for the comparable period in 1995, an increase of 0.5%. This
increase in sales is primarily attributable to the increase in pounds sold
along with a decline in meat prices during the first six months of 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995. During the 1996 period 30,489,489
pounds of meat products were sold versus 27,649,913 pounds during the 1995
period, an increase of 2,839,576 pounds or 10.3%. The increase is pounds of
meat products sold is primarily attributable to the increased sales effort
and production capabilities at the Versailles plant.
Costs of meat products sold for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$25,244,032 versus $26,390,583 for the comparable period ended June 30, 1995,
a decrease of 4.3%. The decline in the cost per pound is primarily
attributable to general commodity price declines. The General Partner
expects general commodity prices to decline slightly during 1996.
Gross margins on meat sales were 9.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 4.5% for the 1995 period. This increase in gross margins is primarily
attributable to: i) the semi-variable nature of certain costs in the costs of
meat products sold such as labor, packaging, and utilities and ii) the
increased efficiencies associated with the recently renovated Versailles
plant whereby lower labor and utilities costs are realized in the manufacture
and warehousing of products.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $1,012,309 from $1,003,782,
a 0.8% increase. Selling and administration expenses represented 3.6% of
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 3.6% the period ended June
30, 1995.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was $575,049 versus $489,395 for the same period in 1995, an increase of
17.5%. Such increase is primarily due to the expansion of the freezer space
at the Versailles plant. Such construction project was completed during 1995
and the property was put into service in March 1995.
7 of 10
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $432,691 versus
interest expense of $336,478 for the same period in 1995. This increase of
$96,213 primarily relates to the increase in the average debt outstanding
primarily due to the expansion of the Versailles plant.
A net gain of $485,988 was realized in the 1996 period compared to a net loss
of $600,242 in the comparable period in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1996 the Partnership had a net working capital deficit of
$232,535 versus a working capital deficit of $525,037 at December 31, 1995.
Cash provided by operating activities was $600,426 in 1996 versus $592,116 in
the 1995 period.
Cash used in investing activities was $267,606 in 1996 as compared to
$2,567,363 in 1995. This decrease is attributable to the completion of the
freezer expansion in 1995.
The Partnership used $547,211 from financing activities during 1996
representing net repayment of debt outstanding. For the comparable period in
1995, the Partnership provided $1,775,807 in financing activities due to the
increase in borrowing.
Whiteford's working capital and equipment requirements are primarily met by
(a) a revolving credit agreement with Whiteford's principal lender in the
maximum amount of $2,600,000 (with $2,366,006 outstanding at June 30,
1996),(the "Principal Revolver"); (b) a five year term credit facility of
$2,200,000,(the "Principal Term Loan"); (c) a five year credit facility of
$4,165,000,(the "Principal Mortgage Term Loan"); (d) a two year credit
facility of $700,000,(the "Second Term Loan"); (e) a five year credit
facility of $500,000, (the "Third Term Loan") and (f) a credit facility with
Greenaway Consultant, Inc. of $420,000, with $157,500 outstanding as of June
30, 1996 (the "GCI Loan"),(collectively, the "Loans").
The Principal Revolver bears an interest rate of prime plus 3/4%. The
Principal Term Loan bears an interest rate of 8.717%. The Principal Mortgage
Loan bears interest of 9.89%. The Second Term Loan bears an interest rate of
prime plus 1.00%. The Third Term bears an interest rate of 9.42%. The Loans
require the Partnership to meet certain financial covenants and restrict the
ability of the Partnership to make distributions to Limited Partners without
the consent of the principal lender. The Principal Revolver and the
Principal Term Loan (together with the Principal Mortgage Loan provided by
the principal lender) are secured by real property, fixed assets, equipment,
inventory, receivables and intangibles of Whiteford's.
The GCI Loan bears interest at a rate equal to 1-1/2 % above the prime rate
established from time to time by the Company's financial institution lender
having the highest outstanding credit balance. The GCI Loan is secured by
real property, fixed assets, equipment inventory and intangibles and is
subordinated to the Principal Revolver, the Principal Term Loan, the
Principal Mortgage Loan.
The Partnership's 1996 capital budget calls for the expenditure of $900,000
for building, plant and equipment modifications and additions. The General
Partner believes Whiteford's is in compliance with environmental protection
laws and regulations, and does not anticipate making additional capital
expenditures for such compliance in 1996. Such amounts are expected to be
funded by internally generated cash flow. The General Partner believes that
the above credit facilities along with cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to meet the Partnership's working capital and credit requirements
for 1996.
The nature of the Partnership's business activities (primarily meat
processing) are such that should annual inflation rates increase materially
in the foreseeable future, the Partnership would experience increased costs
for personnel and raw materials; however, it is believed that increased costs
could substantially be passed on in the sales price of its products.
