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. During June 1998, the Company initiated a plan to dispose of Prestressed Products Incorporated. The Company accrued a $1,950,000 charge (net of income tax benefit of $1,300,000) relating to the estimated disposal cost of the Prestressed Products business, which is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 1999. In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5") "Reporting on the Costs of Start- Up Activities." SOP 98-5 requires that costs of start-up activities should be expense as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1998 and earlier application is permitted and encouraged. The Company does not expect adoption of SOP 98-5 to have a material effect, if any, on its financial position or results of operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the six months and the three months ended June, 1998 and 1997, certain items derived from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations expressed as a percentage of revenue. Six months Ended Three months ended June 30, June 30, ---------------- ------------------ 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------- ------- -------- -------- Revenue.......................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Gross profit..................................... 5.3 5.5 4.5 5.9 General and administrative expense............... 3.5 3.6 3.0 3.4 Interest income.................................. .5 .4 .6 .3 Interest expense................................. .3 .5 .2 .5 Income from continuing operations before income taxes.................................... 2.0 1.8 1.9 2.3 Income taxes..................................... .8 .7 .8 .9 Net income from continuing operations............ 1.2 1.1 1.1 1.4 Discontinued operations: Loss from operations of Prestressed Products subsidiary...................................... .8 .3 .9 .3 Estimated loss on disposal of net assets of Prestressed Products subsidiary, including operating losses during phase-out period..... 2.3 - 4.2 - Net income (loss)................................ (1.9) .8 (4.0) 1.1 11 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenue and Backlog. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 ("interim 1998") was $84.1 million compared to $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 ("interim 1997"). The increase in revenue was the result of an increase in contract revenue of $19.6 million and a $3.8 million increase in revenue generated from construction materials production and manufacturing sold to non-affiliates. Backlog increased 23% to approximately $210 million at June 30, 1998, from approximately $171 million at June 30, 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 decreased from 5.5% for interim 1997 to 5.3% for interim 1998. The decrease in MVC's gross profit margin was the result of (i) cost overruns on certain projects (ii) subcontractor difficulties and (iii) costs related to plan or specification errors. Gross profit margins are affected by a variety of factors including construction delays and difficulties due to weather conditions, availability of materials, the timing of work performed by other subcontractors and the physical and geological condition of the construction site. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased from $2,203,786 for interim 1997 to $2,920,476 for interim 1998. The increase results, in part, from costs associated with expansion in the white paving market, amounting to approximately $208,000, $400,000 in corporate labor, $76,000 in legal cost and approximately $23,000 in costs related to the administration of the Company's employee benefit plans. Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for interim 1998 increased to $385,949 from $257,560 for interim 1997 due to an increase in cash reserves resulting primarily from billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. Interest expense decreased for interim 1998 to $245,113 from $301,014 for interim 1997 due to a $1,500,000 reduction in related party debt. Net Income from Continuing Operations After Income Taxes. Net income from continuing operations after income taxes was $1,021,096 for interim 1998 as compared to $654,958 for interim 1997. The increase resulted from higher revenues offset by increased general and administrative expenses and decreased gross profit margins, as well as higher interest income and lower interest expense. Discontinued Operations. In June 1998, the Company decided to dispose of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prestressed Products Incorporated. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified the operations of Prestressed Products Incorporated as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. In June 1998, the Company accrued a $1,950,000 charge (net of income tax benefit of $1,300,000), related to the disposal of assets for the Prestressed Products business, which included a provision of $1,350,000 for estimated operating losses during the phase-out period. The disposal of the Prestressed Products business is expected to be completed during the first quarter 1999. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenue and Backlog. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 ("interim 1998") was $46.2 million compared to $32.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 ("interim 1997"). The increase in revenue was the result of a $13.1 million increase in contract revenue and a $.7 million increase in revenue generated from construction materials production and manufacturing sold to non-affiliates. Backlog increased 23% to approximately $210 million at June 30, 1998 from approximately $171 million at June 30, 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 decreased from 5.9% for interim 1997 to 4.5% for interim 1998. The decrease in MVC's gross profit margin was the result of (i) cost overruns on certain projects (ii) subcontractor difficulties and (iii) costs related to plan or specification errors. Gross profit margins are affected by a variety of factors including construction delays and difficulties due to weather conditions, availability of materials, the timing of work performed by other subcontractors and the physical and geological condition of the construction site. 12 General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased from $1,099,127 for interim 1997 to $1,371,128 for interim 1998. The increase results, in part, from costs associated with expansion in the white paving market, amounting to $98,000, $73,000 in corporate labor, $48,000 in legal costs and a variety of costs including costs in excess of $26,000 related to the Company's safety plan. Interest Income and Expense. Interest income for interim 1998 increased to $268,967 from $88,122 for interim 1997 due to an increase in cash reserves resulting primarily from billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. Interest expense decreased for interim 1998 to $103,629 from $148,822 for interim 1997 due to a $1,500,000 reduction in related party debt. Net Income from Continuing Operations After Income Taxes. Net income after income taxes was $535,942 for interim 1998 as compared to $455,592 for interim 1997. The increase resulted from higher revenues offset by increased general and administrative expenses and decreased gross profit margins, as well as higher interest income and lower interest expense. Discontinued Operations. In June 1998, the Company decided to dispose of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prestressed Products Incorporated. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified the operations of Prestressed Products Incorporated as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. In June 1998, the Company accrued a $1,950,000 charge (net of income tax benefit of $1,300,000), related to the disposal of assets for the Prestressed Products business, which included a provision of $1,350,000 for estimated operating losses during the phase-out period. The disposal of the Prestressed Products business is expected to be completed during the first quarter 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary need for capital has been to finance expansion and capital expenditures. Historically, the Company's primary source of cash has been from operations. Revenue growth has required additional capital to finance expanded receivables, retentions and capital expenditures and address fluctuations in the work-in-process billing cycle. The following table sets forth for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, certain items from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Six months ended June 30, --------------------------- 1998 1997 ------------- ------------ Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities $ 8,469,624 $ 2,063,112 Cash Flows (Used in) Investing Activities (2,867,320) (2,526,785) Cash Flows (Used in) Financing Activities (1,280,528) (316,700) 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 $8,469,624, primarily the result of an increase in net billings in excess of costs of $8,546,000, an increase in net liabilities and reserves of discontinued operations of $2,585,000, an increase in interest payable of $161,000, depreciation and amortization of $873,000 offset, in part, by an increase in accounts receivable of $717,000, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,003,000, an increase in prepaid expenses of $314,000, an increase in income tax receivable of $64,000 and a net loss of $1,564,000. Cash provided by operating activities during interim 1997 amounted to $2,063,112, primarily the result of net income of $492,000, net billings in excess of costs of $2,294,000, an increase in net liabilities and reserves of discontinued operations of $163,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $4,234,000, a decrease in income tax 13 receivable of $328,000 and depreciation and amortization of $560,000 offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $5,926,000. Cash used in investing activities during interim 1998 included the purchase of property and equipment of $1,066,000, an increase in restricted cash of $605,000 and an increase in investment in and advances to a related entity of $1,558,000, offset by the collection of a related party note receivable of $258,000 and $103,000 proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities during interim 1997 included the purchase of property and equipment of $2,270,000 and an increase in investment in and advances to a related entity of $748,000, offset by a decrease in restricted cash of $404,000 and $87,000 in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Cash used in financing activities during interim 1998 included the repayment of notes payable and capital lease obligations in the amount of $781,000 and the repayment of a related party note payable of $500,000. Cash used during interim 1997 included the repayment of notes payable and capital lease obligations in the amount of $317,000. 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 June 30, 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 of its obligations and is precluded from conveying, selling or leasing all or substantially all of its assets. At June 30, 1998, the Company was in full compliance with all such covenants and there are no material covenants or restriction 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. YEAR 2000 The Company's accounting software currently does not utilize a four digit year field; however, the Company has been assured by the software manufacturer that all necessary modifications for the year 2000 have been or will be made and tested timely.
