("Daniel" or the "Company") without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, are reflected in the financial statements. These condensed statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1996 and the Transition Report on Form 10-Q filed for the three-month transition period ended December 31, 1996. As noted in that transition report, (1) on December 12, 1996, the Company completed a merger with Bettis Corporation ("Bettis"), accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated to include the operations of Bettis for all periods presented, and (2) the Company's fiscal year has been changed to December 31 from September 30. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" for its year ending December 31, 1997. The Company did not elect fair value expense recognition for stock options and, therefore, implementation will not materially affect its financial statements. Note 2 - Earnings per Share Earnings per share ("EPS") for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are calculated as primary EPS (net income divided by weighted average shares outstanding including common stock equivalents). In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which requires a calculation of basic and diluted EPS. The statement is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997, which is the Company's fourth quarter of 1997, with early adoption prohibited and restatement of prior EPS amounts required. The Company does not expect adoption to materially affect its EPS amounts because of the Company's simple capital structure and the immaterial effect of common stock equivalents. Note 3 - Divestitures As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company sold in March 1996, a non-manufacturing property in Germany for a pretax gain of $1,499,000 and in August 1996, the operating assets of the positive displacement meter product line for a pretax gain of $583,000. 5 6 Note 4 - Inventories September 30, December 31, 1997 1996 --------- --------- (in thousands) Raw materials ....................................... $ 22,905 $ 26,036 Work-in-process ..................................... 14,809 12,809 Finished goods ...................................... 16,904 19,803 --------- --------- Inventories before LIFO reserve ................... 54,618 58,648 Less LIFO reserve ................................... 7,075 6,642 --------- --------- Total inventories ................................. $ 47,543 $ 52,006 ========= ========= Note 5 - Notes Payable Notes payable at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 of $21,762,000 and $18,287,000, respectively, consisted of borrowings under lines of credit and notes to banks. Interest rates ranged from 7.0% to 8.4% at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997, the Company had both committed and uncommitted short-term lines of credit aggregating approximately $66,000,000. Some of these lines contain restrictions regarding the amount available for short-term borrowings or issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 1997, approximately $35,600,000 was available for additional short-term borrowings. Note 6 - Long-Term Debt September 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ------------ ----------- (in thousands) Revolving credit facility (secured by Bettis' U.S. assets); interest at prime rate (8.50% at September 30, 1997 and 8.25% at December 31, 1996); interest payable quarterly; principal due October 31, 1998 ........ $ 21,200 $ 21,100 Notes payable to four insurance companies (unsecured); 11.5%; principal payable in annual installments of $2,857; interest payable semi-annually ................................ 5,715 5,715 Note payable to bank (secured by Bettis' U.S. assets); 5.95%; principal payable in quarterly installments of $500; interest payable quarterly ......................... 3,500 5,000 Term loan to bank (secured by Bettis' Canadian assets); interest at the Canadian prime rate (4.75% at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996); principal and interest payable monthly; payable through August 31, 2001.. 1,448 1,733 Capital lease obligations .................................................... 1,677 2,056 Miscellaneous obligations .................................................... 124 181 ---------- ---------- Total obligations ................................................... 33,664 35,785 Less portion due within one year ............................................. 5,439 5,552 ---------- ---------- Long-term debt ...................................................... $ 28,225 $ 30,233 ========== ========== 6 7 The terms of certain financing agreements contain, among other provisions, requirements for maintaining defined levels of working capital, net worth, capital expenditures and various financial ratios, including debt to equity. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $197,470,000 compared to $179,457,000 for the same period in 1996. The increase is primarily due to incremental revenues from measurement and actuator businesses acquired in 1996 partially offset by a decline in revenues from sales of valve products. The Company's backlog at September 30, 1997 was $77,849,000, an increase of 25% and 53% from the backlog balance at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively, reflecting improved demand for the Company's measurement and actuator products. The gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 remained constant at 36% of revenues. Improved margins from the increased sales of measurement products were offset by decreased margins at the valve operations due to lower production levels. Selling, engineering and administrative ("SE&A") expenses increased $8,404,000 to $54,367,000 in the current period largely due to SE&A expenses of companies acquired in 1996. Included in SE&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 is a provision for $1,123,000 relating to anticipated costs associated with the Company's German subsidiary prior to the completion of its pending sale to a group including members of the subsidiary's management. Research and development expenses increased $1,571,000 to $3,632,000 in the current period largely due to the May 1996 acquisition of Spectra-Tek International Limited coupled with increased spending on electronic development projects. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded pretax gains of $1,499,000 from the sale of a German facility and $583,000 from the sale of the assets of the Company's positive displacement meter product line. Interest and other expense (income) decreased by $411,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. An increase in interest expense of $562,000 in the current period, due principally to borrowings used to fund 1996 acquisitions, was more than offset by an increase of $722,000 in interest income on previously discounted notes received upon the sale of the assets of the Company's fastener subsidiary in 1996 and other miscellaneous income. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 42.0% as compared to 38.5% for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due principally to foreign losses for which no tax benefit was allowed. 7 8 Quarter Ended September 30,1997 vs. Quarter Ended September 30, 1996 Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $71,334,000 compared to $69,134,000 for the same period in 1996. The increase is due primarily to higher revenues from measurement and actuator businesses which were partially offset by a decline in revenues from sales of valve products. The gross profit margin for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased to 37% of revenues from 35% in the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Margins improved on sales of measurement products and valve actuators due principally to higher sales noted above. SE&A expenses increased $610,000 to $17,890,000 in the current period due primarily to SE&A expenses of companies acquired in 1996. Research and development expenses increased $588,000 to $1,593,000 in the current period representing increased expenditures on electronic development projects. In the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a pretax gain of $583,000 on the sale of the assets of the positive displacement meter product line. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 42.4% compared to 40.3% for the same period last year. This increase was due principally to foreign losses for which no tax benefit was allowed. Liquidity and Capital Resources The primary source of the Company's liquidity for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was short-term borrowings, internally generated funds, and proceeds from the sale of assets. These funds were used primarily for capital expenditures, funding of operations, payments on short-term and long-term debt, payment of severance costs which were accrued at December 31, 1996, and for the payment of cash dividends. Working capital at September 30, 1997 of $60,531,000 reflects an increase of $6,159,000 from the balance at December 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable associated with higher revenues realized this year. Daniel considers its financial position to be strong with a current ratio at September 30, 1997 of 1.8 to 1.0. Working capital at September 30, 1997 included $53,651,000 in inventory and deferred tax assets, which are not as liquid as other current assets. At September 30, 1997, the Company had both committed and uncommitted short-term lines of credit aggregating approximately $66,000,000. Some of these lines contain restrictions regarding the amount available for short-term borrowings or the issuance of letters of credit. At September 30, 1997, approximately $35,600,000 was available under these lines for additional short-term borrowings. 8 9 Capital expenditures for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $3,982,000 and $8,049,000, respectively. The Company continues to seek acquisitions that would build upon its expertise in the manufacture and sale of fluid measurement, flow control, actuation and analytical products and services. The Company believes that its working capital, cash generated from operations and amounts available under its short-term lines of credit will be adequate to meet its operating needs for the foreseeable future. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of the Company. ITEM 6.
