NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 5, 1997 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Pen-Tab Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation formed February 4, 1997, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. Amounts presented as of December 28, 1996 and for the quarter and six month period ended June 29, 1996 represent financial information of Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc., the predecessor of Pen-Tab Industries, Inc. Such financial information represents the combined historical financial statements of Pen- Tab Industries, Inc., a New York corporation, and its affiliated company Pen-Tab of California, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was controlled under common ownership in the period to July 1, 1996. Effective July 1, 1996, the two companies were merged into a new Virginia corporation with no change in ownership and accordingly, the historical book values of the companies' assets and liabilities were carried forward to the new company. Intercompany accounts and transactions for such periods were eliminated in combination. All references to fiscal quarter refer to the 13-week periods ended July 5, 1997 and June 29, 1996. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc. as of December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 1996, included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-4 (#333-24519) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2. INVENTORIES The Company uses the LIFO method of accounting to value inventories. The components of inventories consist of the following: December 28, July 5, 1996 1997 ------------ ------- Raw materials $ 7,445 $10,719 Work-in process 192 96 Finished goods 7,101 16,267 ------- ------- $14,738 $27,082 ======= ======= For the quarter ended July 5, 1997, the LIFO adjustment was calculated based upon management's expected year-end inventory levels and cost, allocated to the quarter based on expected sales for the year. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are necessarily based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. 4 3. INCOME TAXES The Company was taxed as an "S" corporation for the five-week period ended February 4, 1997 and a "C" corporation for the period thereafter. The Company recorded a one-time tax charge of 2,343 in the quarter ended April 5, 1997 to record the cumulative deferred tax liability upon termination of the Company's "S corporation election. The Company was taxed as an "S" corporation for the quarter and six-month period ended June 29, 1996 respectively. Adjusted for income taxes, the Company's net income for the six months ended July 5, 1997 and June 29,1996 would have been $443 and $4,153, respectively, had the Company been taxed as a "C" corporation for such periods and, accordingly, been subject to federal and state income taxes. 4. CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY The changes in stockholders's equity accounts of Pen-Tab Industries, Inc. are summarized as follows: Common Contributed Stock Capital Deficit Total ------ ----------- ------- ----- Balance - Opening $ --- $ --- $ --- $ --- Contribution of assets and liabilities by Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc 7,036 7,036 Net income for the period February 5, 1997 to July 5, 1997 535 535 Dividend to Holdings (34,187) (34,187) ------ -------- -------- -------- Balance -- July 5, 1997 $ --- $ 7,036 $(33,652) $(26,616) ====== ======== ======== ======== The net income for the six months ended July 5, 1997 includes a $2,515 loss attributable to the financial results of Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc. for the period from December 28, 1996 to February 4, 1997. Dividends for the six months ended July 5, 1997 amounted to $39,687, including $5,500 paid to The Stockholders of Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc. in the period to February 4, 1997 and $34,187 paid by Pen-Tab Industries to Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc. 5. CHANGES IN LONG-TERM DEBT AND SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES On February 4, 1997, the Company issued $75,000 10 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 and paid a dividend to its parent company (Pen-Tab Holdings, Inc.) in the amount of $34,187. Concurrently, the Company repaid the outstanding obligation under the Loan and Security Agreement and entered into a new Credit Agreement with the Bank of America Illinois (The Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement, which expires on February 4, 1998, provides for advances based on a borrowing base comprised or specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, up to an aggregate maximum of $35,000. The interest rate for borrowing is at bank prime plus a sliding scale spread, or at the Company's option, at LIBOR plus a sliding scale spread. The Company is also required to reduce the principle balance outstanding to zero for a period of sixty days beginning September 30 of each fiscal year. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the quarter ended July 5, 1997 decreased by $4.1 million, or 11.7%, to $30.7 million from $34.8 million for the quarter ended June 29, 1996. For the first six months of 1997 net sales of $48.0 million were $4.8 million, or 9.2% lower than the same period in 1996. Differentiated product sales decreased $3.4 million from the six months ended July 5, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 29, 1996, whereas core product sales remained flat between the same periods. For the Pen-Tab segment pounds / units shipped increased approximately 9.0% for the six months ended July 5, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 29, 1996, however revenues are down $3.4 million or 7%. This results from material (paper and paper related products) price decreases passed on to the customer in lower unit selling prices during and subsequent to the six months ended June 29, 1996 and in changes in product mix. The remaining $1.4 million decrease in net sales was caused by sales volume decreases in the Vinylweld segment. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended July 5, 1997 decreased by $2.4 million, or 21.0% to $9.0 million from $11.4 million for the quarter ended June 29, 1996. Gross profit margin for the six months ended July 5, 1997 decreased by $3.4 million or 21.0% to $12.7 million from $16.1 million for the six months ended June 29, 1996. The gross profit percentage for the six months ended July 5, 1997 was 26.45% compared to 30.4% for the six months ended June 29, 1996. The decrease in gross profit margin is related to (i) a LIFO adjustment increasing gross profit for the six months ended June 29, 1996 by $2.3 million or 4.4% due to significant decrease in the cost of paper and a LIFO adjustment decreasing gross profit for the six months ended July 5, 1997 by $0.2 million or 0.4% (ii) significant and unusual paper price fluctuations caused the Company to experience inventory losses of $2.5 million or 4.7% in the first six months of 1996 due to selling higher priced inventory at the then current lower selling prices and (iii) a $3.4 million decrease in net sales for the six months ended July 5, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 29, 1996 of differentiated products which carry a gross profit percentage in excess of 40%. SG&A expenses for the quarter ended July 5, 1997 decreased $0.3 million, or 5.8% to $4.8 million from $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 1996. For the six months ended July 5, 1997, SG&A expenses decreased by $0.1 million. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses increased to 17.0% for the six months ended July 5, 1997 from 15.6% for the six months ended June 29, 1996. This increase is principally the result of (i) an increase in pounds / units shipped in the Pen-Tab segment of approximately 9% coupled with decreases in unit selling prices resulting in an increase in freight expenses as percentage of sales and (ii) the six months ended July 5, 1997 contained 27 weeks whereas the six months ended June 29, 1996 contained only 26 weeks thus incurring an extra week of expenses and (iii) the fixed components of SG&A remained relatively unchanged however the decrease in sales of 9.2% caused SG&A to be a greater percentage of sales. Interest expense for the quarter ended July 5, 1997 increased $1.5 million to $2.2 million from $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 29, 1996. For the six months ended July 5, 1997, interest expense increased $2.6 million to $3.8 million. The increase is principally due to the interest expense on the $75 million of senior subordinated notes issued during February 1997. Income tax provision for the quarter ended July 5, 1997 increased $0.7 million to $0.8 million from $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 29, 1996. For the six months ended July 5, 1997, income tax provision increased $2.6 million to $2.7 million. This increase includes a one-time tax charge of $2.3 million to record the cumulative deferred tax liability upon termination of the Company's "S" corporation election. The tax provision for the six months ended July 5, 1997 is based upon the estimated "C" corporation effective tax rate for the full year. The Company was taxed as an "S" corporation for federal and state taxation purposes during 1996, and accordingly, the Company's tax provision for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 consisted of certain state taxes payable. 6 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 5, 1997 was $21.4 million as compared to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 1996. The decrease was primarily due to lower income earned during 1997 and changes in the Company's working capital accounts. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 5, 1997 was $22.0 million as compared to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 1996. The increase consisted of $75 million relating to the issuance of senior subordinated notes, offset by an increase in dividend distributions of $37.7 million and a $30.4 million change in long-term debt.
