ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors affecting the Company's financial position and operating
results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set
forth in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual results to differ materially. The Company disclaims any
intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, certain items derived from the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations expressed as a percentage of revenue.
Three months Ended
March 31,
------------------
1998 1997
------ ------
Revenue............................. 100.0% 100.0%
Gross profit........................ 5.3 5.0
General and administrative expense.. 4.2 4.3
Interest income..................... .3 .6
Interest expense.................... .4 .5
Income before income taxes.......... 1.1 .8
Net income after income taxes....... .7 .5
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
Revenue and Backlog. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998
("interim 1998") was $39.5 million compared to $28.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 ("interim 1997"). The increase in revenue was the
result of an increase in contract revenue of $6.5 million and a $4.7 million
increase in revenue generated from construction materials production and
manufacturing sold to non-affiliates. Backlog increased 107% to approximately
$221 million at March 31, 1998, from approximately $107 million at March 31,
1997. Revenue is impacted in any one period by the backlog at the beginning of
the period.
Gross Profit. As a percentage of revenue, consolidated gross profit margin
increased from 5.0% for interim 1997 to 5.3% for interim 1998. The increase
results primarily from an increase in MVCI and RMI combined gross profit margins
from 5.2% in interim 1997 to 6.2% in interim 1998, or an increase of 19%, offset
by a gross loss of 16% related to the precast operations of PPI. The precast
operations gross loss was the result of an increase in fixed production costs,
as a percentage of revenue, and field erection and finishing cost overruns.
8
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
from $1,218,312 for interim 1997 to $1,653,005 for interim 1998. The increase
results, in part, from costs associated with expansion into the white paving
market, amounting to approximately $110,000, $286,000 in corporate labor and
approximately $43,000 related to investor relations.
Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for interim 1998 decreased to
$116,982 from $169,438 for interim 1997 due to a decrease in cash reserves
resulting primarily from the expansion in the production and manufacturing of
construction materials and the purchase of equipment. Interest expense
decreased for interim 1998 to $141,484 from $152,192 for interim 1997 due to a
fourth quarter $1,000,000 reduction in related party debt.
Net Income After Income Taxes. Net income after income taxes was $264,810
for interim 1998 as compared to $132,728 for interim 1997. The increase, offset
somewhat by increased general and administrative expenses discussed above,
resulted from higher interim 1998 gross profit margins.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary need for capital has been to finance growth in its
core business as a heavy construction contractor and its expansion into the
other construction and construction related businesses heretofore discussed.
Growth has resulted in the need for additional capital to finance increased
receivables, retentions and capital expenditures, and to address fluctuations in
the work-in-process billing cycle.
The following table sets forth for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, certain items from the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows.
Three months ended March 31,
----------------------------
1998 1997
---------- -----------
Cash Provided by Operating Activities.. $ 464,361 $ 2,383,062
Cash Used in Investing Activities...... (502,707) (1,152,440)
Cash Used in Financing Activities...... (419,163) (138,702)
Although the Company may experience increased profitability as operations
increase, cash may be reduced to finance receivables and for customer cash
retention required under contracts subject to completion. Management
continually monitors the Company's cash requirements to maintain adequate cash
reserves, and the Company believes that its cash balances were and, together
with the operating lines of credit described below, are sufficient.
Cash provided by operating activities during interim 1998 amounted to
$464,361, primarily the result of net income of $265,000, depreciation and
amortization of $470,000, net billings in excess of costs of $577,000 and a net
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $613,000, offset by
increase in accounts receivable of $1,229,000 and income taxes paid of $302,000.
Cash provided by operating activities during interim 1997 was $2,383,000,
resulting primarily from a decrease in accounts receivable of $6,692,000,
depreciation and amortization of $254,000 and net income of $133,00, offset by a
net decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $4,292,000 and an
increase in prepaid expenses and other of $378,000.
Cash used in investing activities during interim 1998 included the purchase
of property and equipment of $630,000, an increase in restricted cash of
$200,000, offset by the collection of a related party note receivable of
$258,000 and $69,000 proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
9
Cash used in investing activities during interim 1997 included the purchase
of property and equipment of $1,440,000, offset by a decrease in restricted cash
of $259,000.
Cash used in financing activities during interim 1998 and 1997 included the
repayment of notes payable and capital lease obligations in the amounts of
$419,000 and $139,000, respectively.
The Company currently has available from a commercial bank a $2,000,000
operating line of credit at an interest rate of the commercial bank's prime plus
.50%, and a $2,000,000 operating line of credit at an interest rate of the
commercial bank's prime plus .25% ("lines of credit"). At March 31, 1998,
nothing had been drawn on either of the lines of credit. Under the lines of
credit, the Company is required to maintain certain levels of working capital,
to promptly pay all its obligations and is precluded from conveying, selling or
leasing all or substantially all of its assets. At March 31, 1998, the Company
was in full compliance with all such covenants and there are no material
covenants or restrictions in the lines of credit which the Company believes
would impair its operations. The lines of credit expire September 15, 1998.
The Company is currently leasing approximately 40 ready-mix trucks with
estimated annual lease payments of $800,000. The Company anticipates that a
substantial portion of the costs associated with a planned second ready-mix
plant and related equipment will be financed through bank financing and
operating leases.
Management believes that the Company's cash reserves, together with its
lines of credit and its capacity to enter into other financing arrangements are
sufficient to fund its cash requirements for the next 12 months and that the
Company's working capital will be adequate to fund its short term and long term
requirements.
