NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands)
NOTE 1--GENERAL
U.S.A. Floral Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("USA Floral" or the
"Company"), was founded in April 1997 and since then has grown to become a
worldwide distributor of floral products. USA Floral acquired eight U.S.
businesses in the floral industry (the "Founding Companies") simultaneously with
the initial public offering ("IPO") of its Common Stock in October 1997,
acquired six U.S. businesses in the floral industry in January 1998 (the
"January 1998 Class"), acquired eight businesses in the floral industry in April
1998(the "April 1998 Class") and acquired nine businesses in the floral industry
in July 1998 (the "July 1998 Class") (together, the "Acquisitions"). These
financial statements include the results of operations of USA Floral, the
Founding Companies, the January 1998 Class, the April 1998 Class and the July
1998 Class subsequent to their acquisitions. Subsequent to the close of business
on September 30, 1998, the Company acquired the business of Florimex Worldwide
GmbH and related entities ("Florimex"), an international distributor of floral
products headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany (See Note 7). These financial
statements do not include the results of operations or the balance sheet of
Florimex as at the date of acquisitions. The results of operations of Florimex
will be included with USA Floral effective October 1, 1998. The Company intends
to continue to acquire, through merger or purchase, similar companies to expand
its domestic and international operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal, recurring nature.
The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITIONS
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in
the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K, USA Floral acquired all the
outstanding stock of the Founding Companies effective October 16, 1997.
Additionally, in January 1998, USA Floral consummated the acquisition of the
following six companies of the January 1998 Class:
Continental Farms Limited ("Continental Farms") and Atlantic Bouquet Company
Limited ("Atlantic Bouquet"), each a Florida limited partnership headquartered
in Miami, Florida. Prior to their acquisition, Continental Farms and Atlantic
Bouquet were under common ownership. Continental Farms is an importer and broker
of floral products from South America and Central America
and Atlantic Bouquet is a bouquet manufacturer. Both companies distribute their
products throughout the United States and Canada.
XL Group, Inc. ("XL Group") imports fresh cut floral products from farms
located primarily in Costa Rica, Ecuador and Columbia and distributes these
products to wholesale florists and supermarkets throughout the United States. XL
Group is located in Miami, Florida.
Koehler & Dramm, Inc. ("Koehler & Dramm") is a regional wholesale florist
company serving retailers throughout the upper midwestern United States. Koehler
& Dramm is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has a branch operation in
Kansas City, Missouri.
Everflora, Inc. ("Everflora") and Everflora Miami, Inc. ("Everflora Miami")
are importers/brokers of perishable floral products. Everflora, headquartered in
Creskill, New Jersey, sells various types of flowers to wholesalers across the
United States. Everflora Miami, headquartered in Miami, Florida, sells various
types of flowers and bouquets, primarily imported from Central America and South
America.
H&H Flowers, Inc. d/b/a/ La Fleurette ("La Fleurette"), which does business
under the name of "La Fleurette" assembles and sells floral bouquets and other
arrangements to the supermarket industry primarily throughout the eastern United
States. H&H Flowers is headquartered in Miami, Florida. A member of the Board of
Directors of USA Floral was a stockholder in H&H Flowers.
UltraFlora Corporation ("UltraFlora") imports and sells floral bouquets and
other arrangements to mass markets throughout the United States and Canada.
UltraFlora is headquartered in Miami, Florida. A member of the Board of
Directors of USA Floral was a stockholder in UltraFlora.
The following table sets forth the consideration paid (the "Purchase
Consideration") (a) in cash and (b) in shares of Common Stock to the common
stockholders of each of the January 1998 Class, the estimated fair value of the
net assets acquired and resulting goodwill. For purposes of computing the
purchase price for accounting purposes, the value of shares is based upon an
average share price calculated using the purchase contract formula, which
incorporates the share price at the date of the letter of intent, the date of
the definitive agreement and the average daily share price between the two
aforementioned events. The total Purchase Consideration also reflects the
contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the
definitive agreement for UltraFlora provided for the Company to pay additional
consideration, based on 1997 earnings before interest and taxes, of $5,892 in
shares of Common Stock. The resultant 359,487 shares were issued during the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.
The contingent consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the
definitive agreement for XL Group has not been included in the Purchase
Consideration. This arrangement provides for the Company to pay additional
consideration, based on 1998 earnings before interest and taxes, of up to $4,000
in shares of Common Stock, calculated by reference to the average closing price
of the Common Stock for each trading day during the thirty calendar day period
ending December 31, 1998. The contingent consideration related to earn-out
arrangements included in the definitive agreement for La Fleurette also has not
been included in the Purchase Consideration. This arrangement provided for the
Company to pay additional consideration, without limit, based on earnings before
interest and taxes for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 1998, in shares of
Common Stock. La Fleurette did not achieve
sufficient earnings before interest and taxes to warrant additional earn-out
consideration.
The purchase price has been allocated to each company's assets and
liabilities based on their respective carrying values, with the exception of
acquired properties at one of the entities, as these carrying values are deemed
to represent fair market value of these assets and liabilities. The fair market
value of acquired properties has been determined via an independent valuation by
a third party. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary, but the
Company does not anticipate that the final allocation of purchase price will
differ significantly from that as described above.

anticipate that the final allocation of purchase price will differ significantly

The following unaudited pro forma data present the combined results of
operations of the Company, the July 1998 Class, the April 1998 Class, the
January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies, as if the acquisitions and USA
Floral's IPO had occurred at January 1, 1997. The pro forma amounts give effect
to certain adjustments including amortization of intangibles, interest expense
on incremental financing, reduction in salary, bonuses and benefits in
connection with the transactions, anticipated compensation of USA Floral's
management, associated costs of being a public company and income taxes. The pro
forma summary does not purport to represent what USA Floral's results of
operations would actually have been if such transactions in fact had occurred on
January 1, 1997 and are not necessarily representative of USA Floral's results
of operations for any future period. Since the July 1998 Class, April 1998
Class, the January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies were not under common
control or management, historical combined results may not be comparable to, or
indicative of, future performance.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Florimex Transaction
Subsequent to the close of business on September 30, 1998 and pursuant to a
Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") by and between DIMON
Incorporated ("DIMON"), Florimex Worldwide GmbH ("Florimex Germany"), and the
Company, USA Floral acquired: (i) the stock of 23 subsidiaries of Florimex
Germany, (ii) certain assets and liabilities of Florimex Germany; and (iii) the
stock of Florimex USA, Inc. ("Florimex USA") and Florimex Canada, Inc.
("Florimex Canada"), each of which were previously wholly-owned subsidiaries of
DIMON.
Florimex Germany, Florimex USA and Florimex Canada are collectively referred to
as "Florimex." Florimex is the largest international importer and distributor of
fresh-cut flowers in the world with operations in over 15 countries.
Pursuant to all terms of the Purchase Agreement: (i) USA Floral acquired from
DIMON all of the shares of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Florimex
USA and Florimex Canada; (ii) U.S.A. Floral Products Germany GmbH & Co. KG, a
German limited partnership and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of USA
Floral, acquired from Florimex Germany all of the shares of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of three German operating subsidiaries of Florimex
Germany; (iii) U.S.A. Floral Products Holding GmbH, the limited partner of the
German limited partnership described above and a wholly-owned subsidiary of USA
Floral, acquired from Florimex Germany all of the shares of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of 20 additional subsidiaries directly or indirectly
owned, of record and beneficially, by Florimex Germany; and (iv) U.S.A. Floral
Products Holding GmbH acquired from Florimex Germany certain assets and
liabilities. In consideration for the exchange of their shares of issued and
outstanding capital stock and/or assets and liabilities, DIMON and Florimex
Germany received consideration in the aggregate of approximately $66.1 million
in cash and USA Floral or its subsidiaries extinguished approximately $23.6
million of the net debt of the acquired businesses. The approximately $66.1
million in cash for the acquisitions was obtained from borrowings under USA
Floral's amended credit facility with a syndicate of lenders for which Bankers
Trust Company serves as agent.
Revenues for Florimex for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 aggregated
approximately $390 million. Goodwill arising from acquisition, which will be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, is expected to
approximate $52 million.
These financial statements do not include the results of operations or the
balance sheet of Florimex. The results of operations of Florimex will be
included with those of USA Floral effective October 1, 1998.
Integration Plan
In November 1998, in connection with management's plan to reduce costs and
improve operating efficiencies, the Company announced an integration plan which
is expected to result in a charge of approximately $3.8 million before income
taxes ($2.3 million after income taxes).
In connection with the integration plan, the Company will integrate certain
warehouse and distribution facilities to be principally those associated with
the Company's import and bouquet manufacturing operations in Miami, Florida.
Approximately $3.2 million, or $1.9 million after-tax, of the charge will be
recorded in the fourth quarter of 1998, with the balance of the charge to be
recorded in the first three quarters of 1999. The charge principally relates to
the write-down to fair value of equipment made obsolete or redundant, severance,
and lease termination costs due to the decision to merge certain facilities. The
integration of the warehouses and distribution facilities will begin immediately
and is expected to be completed by September 30, 1999. As part of the
integration plan, the Company expects to reduce the number of its employees by
approximately 180 or approximately 7% of the North American workforce.
The major components of the integration charge are as follows:
Description
- -----------
Severance and related costs $800
Write-down of property, plant and equipment 2,100
Lease-termination costs 400
Professional fees and other costs 500
------
$3,800
Credit Facility
Effective October 2, 1998, USA Floral amended and restated its existing credit
agreement with a syndicate of leaders for which Bankers Trust Company serves as
agent (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended
Credit Agreement, the amount of the Company's revolving credit facilities was
increased to $200 million, of which the sub-limit for permitted acquisitions is
$180 million and the sub-limit for working capital purposes and letters of
credit is $20 million. In addition, of the $200 million in revolving credit
facilities, up to $15 million has been designated to be a revolving loan which
is available to certain foreign subsidiaries of USA Floral in either Deutsche
Marks or Guilders. Finally, a new $50 million, Deutsche Mark denominated term
loan was created as an additional source of borrowings in excess of the $200
million revolving credit facilities. Borrowings under the revolving credit
facilities bear interest, at the Company's option, at (a) Bankers Trust
Company's base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.O% or (b) a Eurodollar
rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.25%. Borrowings under the term loan
bear interest at the interbank rate for Deutsche Marks plus an applicable margin
of up to 2.25%. The Company paid on closing a financing fee of approximately
$3.6 million, which has been deferred and will be amortized over the term of the
Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of up to 0.50% will be
charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facilities on a quarterly
basis. Both the revolving credit facilities and the term loan mature five years
from the closing date.
The entire $50 million proceeds of the new term loan and $54.1 million of the
borrowings available under the revolving credit facilities were used to finance
the aggregate purchase price of approximately $90 million (including the
assumption of indebtedness) and related transactional expenses for the purchase
of the business of Florimex. In addition, on October 2, 1998, the Company rolled
over approximately $86.5 million in outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and
related fees under its existing revolving credit facility, so that the aggregate
both the revolving credit facilities and the term loan were approximately $190
million.
The proceeds of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility
prior to its amendment on October 2, were used to finance acquisitions and fund
related working capital requirements.
As a result of the amendment and restatement of the credit facility and
termination of the original credit agreement, the Company will record a charge
before income taxes of $1,602 in the fourth quarter of 1998, to the write off
unamortized portion of the deferred financing fee related to the original credit
agreement.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are collateralized by
receivables, inventories, equipment and certain real property. Under the terms
of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain
financial ratios and other financial and non-financial conditions. The Amended
Credit Agreement prohibits the Company from incurring additional indebtedness,
limits certain investments, advances or loans and restricts substantial asset
sales, capital expenditures and cash dividends. As of September 30, 1998, the
Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1998
Net Sales. Net sales for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1998 were $345.1 million and $110.8 million, respectively.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine and three months
ended September 30, 1998 was $250.0 million and $79.3 million, respectively.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 72.4%, resulting in a gross
profit margin of 27.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. For the
three months ended September 30, 1998, cost of sales as a percentage of sales
were 71.6%, resulting in a gross profit margin of 28.4%.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling general and administrative
expenses were $73.6 million and $29.1 million in the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1998, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses
for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1998 were 21.3% and
26.2% as a percentage of net sales, respectively.
Pro Forma Combined Results of Operations
- --------------------
USA Floral was incorporated in April 1997 and conducted no operations prior to
the October 1997 consummation of its IPO and the acquisition of the Founding
Companies. Since then, it has consummated the acquisitions of the January 1998
Class, the April 1998 Class and the July 1998 Class. Pro forma combined results
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 may not be
comparable with pro forma combined results of operations for the corresponding
periods in 1997, because the Company had no operations during any relevant point
in 1997 and did not, throughout the 1997 periods and for portions of the 1998
periods, actually own or operate any of the businesses whose operations have
been combined on a pro forma basis.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1997
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of
operations of the Company, the July 1998 Class, the April 1998 Class, the
January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies, as if all such acquisitions and
the IPO occurred on January 1, 1997. The information does not include financial
results of the Florimex Transaction, which was consummated after the close of
business on September 30, 1998. The pro forma amounts give effect to certain
adjustments, including amortization of intangible assets, interest expense on
incremental financing, reduction in salary, bonuses and benefits in connection
with the transactions, anticipated compensation of the Company's management and
associated costs of being a public company, and income taxes.

The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company's
results of operations actually would have been if such transactions had occurred
on January 1, 1997 and is not necessarily representative of the Company's
results of operations for any future period. Since the July 1998 Class, the
April 1998 Class, the January 1998 Class and the Founding Companies were not
under common control or management at any time prior to the actual consummation
of each respective acquisition, historical combined results may not be
comparable to, or indicative of, future, performance.
Net Sales. Pro forma net sales increased to $451.6 million in the nine months
ended. September 30, 1998 from $425.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $25.8 million or 6.1%. The increase in Pro
forma sales was attributable to an increase in the volume of flowers sold during
the second and third quarter of 1998, primarily at the companies involved in
importing and bouquet manufacturing and distribution.
Cost of Sales. Pro forma cost of sales increased to $329.0 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from $312.3 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $16.6 million or 5.3%, primarily as a result
of increased pro forma are sales. As a percentage of sales, Pro forma cost of
sales was 72.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 73.4% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. The decrease as a percentage of sales is a
result of favorable pricing received from certain suppliers of flowers and an
increase in intercompany sales.
Selling General and Administrative. Selling general and administrative
expenses increased to $95.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from $87.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of
$7.6 million or 8.6%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in expenses
at certain of the April 1998 Class companies in the three months prior to their
acquisition and increased selling, commissions and other costs associated with
the increased sales at the companies involved in importing and bouquet
manufacturing, as well as increased costs at the Company.
Operating Income. As a result of the factors discussed above, operating
income increased to $23.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998
from $21.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, a increase of
$1.6 million, or 7.5%. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased
to 5.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 5.1% in the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
- -------------------------------------------------
Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this
Form 10-Q, including those with respect to results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998 as they apply to possible results for the full
fiscal year, and those with respect to the effects of purchasing synergies,
expense reductions, acquisition explorations and marketing and research and
development efforts, as they apply to such possible future synergies,
reductions, exploration efforts or the Company's results therefore constitute
forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Certain
factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
the forward looking statements, including those risks detailed in the Company's
Prospectus dated May 8, 1998 relating to, among other things: the absence of a
combined operating history; the Company's acquisition strategy; the
concentration of flower sales in traditional holiday periods; the financing of
acquisitions; the Company's internal growth and operating strategies;
seasonality, cyclicality, fluctuations in quarterly operating results, and
weather; competition; the amortization of intangible assets; dependence upon key
personnel; and imported products matters. In addition, results may vary as a
result of factors set forth from time to time in the Company's reports on file
at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's principal sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows
from operating activities and borrowings. To date, approximately $127.5 million
has been used to fund the cash portion of the consideration paid in connection
with the acquisitions.
Effective October 2, 1998, USA Floral amended and restated its existing credit
agreement with a syndicate of leaders for which Bankers Trust Company serves as
agent (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended
Credit Agreement, the amount of the Company's revolving credit facilities was
increased to $200 million, of which the sub-limit for permitted acquisitions is
$180 million and the sub-limit for working capital purposes and letters of
credit is $20 million. In addition, of the $200 million in revolving credit
facilities, up to $15 million has been designated to be a revolving loan which
is available to certain foreign subsidiaries of USA Floral in either Deutsche
Marks or Guilders. Finally, a new $50 million, Deutsche Mark denominated term
loan was created as an additional source of borrowings in excess of the $200
million revolving credit facilities. Borrowings under the revolving credit
facilities bear interest, at the Company's option, at (a) Bankers Trust
Company's base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.O% or (b) a Eurodollar
rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.25%. Borrowings under the term loan
bear interest at the interbank rate for Deutsche Marks plus an applicable margin
of up to 2.25%. The Company paid on closing a financing fee of approximately
$3.6 million, which has been deferred and will be amortized over the term of the
Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, a commitment fee of up to 0.50% will be
charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facilities on a quarterly
basis. Both the revolving credit facilities and the term loan mature five years
from the closing date.
The entire $50 million proceeds of the new term loan and $54.1 million of the
borrowings available under the revolving credit facilities were used to finance
the aggregate purchase price of approximately $90 million (including the
assumption of indebtedness) and related transactional expenses for the purchase
of the business of Florimex.
In addition, on October 2, 1998, the Company rolled over approximately $86.5
million in outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and related fees under its
existing revolving credit facility, so that the aggregate both the revolving
credit facilities and the term loan were approximately $190 million.
The proceeds of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility
prior to its amendment on October 2, were used to finance acquisitions and fund
related working capital requirements.
As a result of the amendment and restatement of the credit facility and
termination of the original credit agreement, the Company will record a charge
before income taxes of $1,602 in the fourth quarter of 1998, to the write off
unamortized portion of the deferred financing fee related to the original credit
agreement.
The capital expenditures of the Company for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 were approximately $2.6 million. These capital expenditures were
primarily for vehicles, machinery, office equipment and computer equipment and
software, building additions and facility upgrades. Although the Company
currently does not have any commitments to make significant capital
expenditures, the Company does expect to expend approximately $10 million for
capital expenditures in the next twelve months in the normal course of business.
Excluding capital requirements for future acquisitions, if any, which the
Company cannot currently predict, the Company believes that funds generated from
operations, together with borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, will be
sufficient to finance its current operations and planned capital expenditure
requirements at least through 1999. To the extent that the Company is successful
in consummating future acquisitions, if any, it may be necessary to finance such
acquisitions through the issuance of additional equity securities, incurrence of
indebtedness, or a combination of both. Such additional equity issuances or
incurrances of indebtedness may not be possible, or if possible may not be
available on terms acceptable to the company.
