Note to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results of operations for the period
ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales increased for the first quarter of 1997 by 4.4%, or $4,453,000, from
the first quarter of 1996. The sales increase in the current year was
primarily attributable to last years work stoppage at General Motors which
negatively impacted sales for the first quarter by approximately $3 million.
Also contributing to first quarter results was the 6% increase in the North
American production volumes for autos and light trucks from the first quarter
of 1996.
Cost of products sold as a percent of sales for the first three months of
1997, compared to the same period of 1996, remained the same at 89.8%.
Administrative and selling costs remained at approximately 2.8% of sales for
the first quarters of 1997 and 1996. Interest expense decreased slightly for
the first quarter of 1997 due to lower average debt balances.
Cash flow from operations was $874,000 for the first quarter. The Company's
investment in production capacity for new automotive, light truck and diesel
engine programs was $6,703,000. These investments, when added to dividends
paid during the three months ended March 31, 1997, exceeded the cash flow from
operations, resulting in a reduction of $7,782,000 in cash and cash
equivalents. With a quick ratio of 1.6 to 1 and total debt to invested
capital of 34.4%, the Company's financial condition remains strong.
