NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:
Short-term investments consist primarily of certificates of deposits
with original maturities greater than 90 days.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are stated at the
lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
Repurchase Obligations
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase
agreements with various financial institutions which provide for the
repurchase of its homes sold to dealers under floor plan financing
arrangements upon dealer default. The Company's exposure to loss under such
agreements is reduced by the resale of the repurchased home. The Company
believes any losses incurred under outstanding repurchase agreements in
excess of the accruals established as of September 30, 1999 will not have a
significant impact on the financial condition of the Company.
Other Contingencies
Letters of Credit totaling $500,000 have been issued to the Company's
insurance carriers who have underwritten the Company's insurance programs.
8
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue when the product is shipped to
independent dealers.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments as of September 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998 were $16,280,000 and $23,741,000, respectively.
Working capital as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was $32,065,000
and $31,075,000, respectively. The decrease of cash has been caused by accounts
receivable and inventory increases as the Company's operations expand over the
normal year-end base, and by the funding of various property, plant and
equipment projects. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
Company repurchased a total of 47,900 shares of common stock under the program
initiated in 1994 and subsequently amended to acquire up to 700,000 shares of
its common stock.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the third quarter of 1999 were $47,259,000, a decrease of
$1,638,000 over the same quarter of 1998. The number of homes sold also
decreased. Net income for the third quarter of 1999 was $628,000, a decrease of
$434,000 from the third quarter of 1998. Increased material costs, particularly
lumber products and gypsum board, which
9
due to competitive conditions could not be reflected in increased prices, along
with reduced sales, negatively impacted income.
Outlook and Risk Factors
As sales backlogs in the manufactured housing industry are
traditionally short and as dealer inventories do not normally fluctuate
substantially, the orders that the Company receives are indicative of the
day-to-day retail sales activity of its products. Any changes affecting the
desire or ability of retail customers to purchase, such as cost, availability of
credit and unemployment, have an immediate effect on the Company's operations.
Year 2000
Liberty Homes employs several electronic data processing (EDP) systems
for administrative and reporting purposes. In 1995, the Company began a process
to analyze the need to enhance its systems to accommodate planned growth of the
Company and to meet additional management information needs. As the Company
determined the systems it wished to enhance, it also discovered the need to
ensure all of its systems were able to handle year 2000 dates. This Year 2000
(Y2K) compliance issue then became a part of the Company's EDP enhancement
program. In March of 1996, the Company contracted for an overall upgrade of its
EDP system which, among many things, would provide Y2K compliance for a
substantial portion of its EDP systems. This project is complete.
Additionally, the Company has tested and upgraded all of its
information and communication systems hardware for Y2K compliance, installed
software updates containing Y2K compliance code and initiated projects to bring
internally developed
10
systems into Y2K compliance. Except for some very minor items, the Company has
completed its Y2K remediation efforts. The Company has adequate resources to
address these remaining items and plans to complete them by December 15, 1999.
It believes the failure to correct them by that time would cause no material
adverse effect to the Company. The Company has budgeted resources for the year
2000 to address any Y2K compliant issues, which are not apparent at this time
but may arise later.
The Company's manufacturing processes do not utilize systems that are
materially reliant on Y2K compliance. Therefore, the Company's ability to
generate product will not be adversely affected by any Y2K issues.
The Company sells its product to numerous independent dealers, none of
which account for a material portion of the Company's sales. The Company
believes the risk of Y2K noncompliance associated with its dealer group is not
significant.
The Company's operations rely on a variety of suppliers, wholesale and
retail finance sources, transportation companies and utilities. The Company is
not aware of any material compliance problems with these vendors, however, it
will continue to monitor the sufficiency of this group's Y2K compliance efforts.
Liberty Homes believes the sole failure of any vendor would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business.
The total cost to date and expected future cost for Y2K remediation is
not material. Internally generated funds are the source of funding these
compliance costs.
The Company believes that its Y2K compliance efforts will significantly
reduce the risk of any material adverse business interruptions caused by
noncompliance. However, this statement should not be considered a guarantee of
such a reduction in risk.
