ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS: The Company is a wholesale distributor of non-paper computer and office automation supplies and accessories, whose primary products are laser toner, inkjet cartridges, copier and fax supplies, printer ribbons, diskettes, optical storage products, computer tape cartridges and accessories such as cleaning kits and media storage files. The Company's products are used in a broad range of computers and office automation products including laser and inkjet printers, photocopiers, fax machines and data storage products. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Mexico and Singapore, sells products primarily in North America, as well as in Latin America, Australia, Singapore, the Pacific Rim, Europe and Africa. The Company's customers include value-added resellers, computer supplies dealers, office product dealers, contract stationers, buying groups, computer and office product superstores, warehouse clubs and other retailers who resell the products to end-users. During fiscal year 1996, the Company formed Priority Fulfillment Services, Inc. ("PFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary, to provide outsourcing solutions to its business partners and other customers. Through PFS, the Company sells its core competencies in call-center, product fulfillment, logistics and support services to client companies worldwide. PFS customizes these services to meet specific requirements of these companies. PFS's call-center services include: order entry, order tracking and customer service (inbound), outbound telemarketing services and customized reporting of customer and call information. PFS also provides other support services such as invoicing, credit management and collections services, and accounting and systems support. PFS utilizes primarily the Company's centralized distribution facility in Memphis, Tennessee and also the Company's foreign distribution facilities, and maintains relationships with a number of shipping companies to provide next business day delivery on domestic package orders, truck shipments on larger domestic orders and a variety of air and surface delivery options for international orders. PFS presently provides its services under both fee-based contracts (where revenue is based on either the sales value of the products or service activity volume) and transaction based contracts (where PFS takes title and resells the product). In January 1998, the Company expanded its product line by acquiring Steadi-Systems, Ltd., ("Steadi-Systems") an independent wholesale distributor of professional-grade audio and video media products (pro-tape products) to the filmed entertainment and multimedia industries. The Company further expanded its operations in the distribution of pro-tape products through the acquisition of The Tape Company in June 1998. Through Steadi-Systems and The Tape Company, the Company distributes a wide array of professional-grade audio and video media products and video hardware and is an authorized distributor for leading manufacturers such as Sony, Fuji, JVC, Avid and others to customers including production companies, post-production operations, and television stations. 9 10 DAISYTEK INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION RELATED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 AND RELATED TO MARCH 31, 1998 IS UNAUDITED.) 3.

SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997; however, earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS No. 131 requires the disclosure of financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments. SFAS No. 131 modifies existing disclosure requirements, which will have no effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and its potential impact on disclosures and will adopt these pronouncement in its fiscal year 1999 annual financial statements. 13 14 DAISYTEK INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION RELATED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 AND RELATED TO MARCH 31, 1998 IS UNAUDITED.) In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be used to hedge certain types of transactions, including foreign currency exposures of a net investment in a foreign operation. The Company presently utilizes derivative financial instruments only to hedge its net investment in certain of its foreign operations. SFAS No. 133 requires gains or losses on these financial instruments to be included in other comprehensive income as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The Company currently complies with the provisions of SFAS No. 133 in its accounting treatment of these financial instruments. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, with initial application as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter. Early adoption of the standard is allowed, however, the statement cannot be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. 14 15 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Daisytek International Corporation and the accounts of companies acquired in business combinations accounted for under 1) the purchase method from their respective acquisition dates, and 2) the pooling of interests method, giving retroactive effect for all periods presented. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE INTERIM PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997. Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $222.6 million as compared to $182.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $39.8 million, or 21.8%. The increase was the result of an increase in domestic and international computer supplies sales, revenues from outsourcing activities of Priority Fulfillment Services ("PFS"), and the addition of net sales of professional-grade audio and video media products (pro-tape products) resulting from the acquisitions of Steadi-Systems, Ltd. ("Steadi-Systems") in January 1998. The business combination of Steadi-Systems was accounted for under the purchase method, thus its results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated results after the acquisition date. The growth in U.S. net sales was approximately $24 million, or approximately 17%, and the growth in international net sales was approximately $16 million, or approximately 41%. The growth in U.S. and international net sales was primarily due to new customers, increased sales volume to large national accounts, computer and office product superstores, and the Company's continued introduction of new products, including those new products added through business acquisitions. In addition, continuing consolidation among the Company's domestic customers may reduce the rate of U.S. sales growth below that achieved in the past. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $26.5 million as compared to $19.6 million in the same period in 1997, an increase of $6.9 million, or 35.2%, primarily as the result of increased sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. The Company's gross profit margin as a percent of net sales was 11.9% for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 10.7% for the same period of 1997. The increase in the Company's gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales was a result of an increase in pro-tape net sales, which have higher margins than the Company's traditional computer supplies products, as a percent of total net sales. Also increased higher margin fee revenue business for the Company's outsource providing subsidiary, Priority Fulfillment Services ("PFS"), and enhanced product sourcing in fiscal year 1999 contributed to increased gross profit margins during fiscal year 1999. The Company believes that the competitive environment and consolidation of its computer supplies products customers may negatively impact the Company's gross profit margin percentage during fiscal year 1999. The Company continues to look for opportunities to offset such impact, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so. SG&A Expenses. SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $16.9 million (excluding acquisition related costs), or 7.6% of net sales, as compared to $12.5 million, or 6.9% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily a result of the increase in costs associated with the Company's increased sales volume. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales for fiscal year 1999 were primarily due to increased SG&A costs from the addition of Steadi-Systems, whose SG&A expenses are higher than the Company's core computer supplies business, and due to incremental SG&A expenses associated with its PFS subsidiary. The Company continues to incur incremental SG&A expenses to invest in growth areas of the business, PFS and international operations in particular. 15 16 Acquisition Related Costs. During June 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of The Tape Company, Inc. ("The Tape Company") through a stock-for-stock merger, which is accounted for as a pooling of interest in the accompanying Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. Daisytek incurred various acquisition related accounting, legal and other costs applicable to the acquisition of The Tape Company of approximately $0.4 million, or approximately $0.01 per share net of income taxes. These costs were charged to income during the 3 months ended June 30, 1998. The Company expects to incur approximately $0.4 million of expenses in each of the next two fiscal quarters relating to The Tape Company merger activities. Income from Operations. Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $9.2 million. Income from operations excluding acquisition related costs was $9.7 million as compared to $7.1 million for the same period during 1997, an increase of $2.6 million, or 35.9%. This increase was due to increased sales volume and increased gross profit partially offset by increased SG&A expenses. Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 4.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Income from operations excluding acquisition related costs as a percentage of net sales was 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 3.9% for the corresponding period ending June 30, 1997. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $0.9 million as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Interest expense was higher during the three months ended June 30, 1998 primarily due to an increase in the average line of credit, partially offset by a slight decrease in interest rates during fiscal year 1999. The weighted average interest rate was 6.7% and 7.0% during the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Income Taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes was $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to increased pretax profits. The effective tax rate was 35.8% and 37.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was lower than the corresponding period during 1997 as The Tape Company's income before income taxes represented a larger percentage of the Company's total income before income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 1998. The Tape Company, prior to its acquisition by the Company included a business unit organized as a subchapter S corporation, whereby income taxes were paid individually by the owners. In future periods, The Tape Company, including all of its operating units, will be taxed under a corporate tax structure, and accordingly, the Company's effective tax rate should be in the range of 38% to 39% during the remainder of fiscal year 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company's primary source of cash has been from financing activities. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, net cash of $18.4 million was provided by financing activities, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Cash provided by financing activities was generated primarily from proceeds from revolving lines of credit and the exercise of common stock options during the three months ended June 30, 1998. In conjunction with the business combination with The Tape Company, certain debt of The Tape Company, including the revolving line of credit due October 31, 1998, the term loan with commercial bank due October 31, 2002, and the note payable to an individual due July 25, 2007, were paid in full by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 1998, and were retired. Included in cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are distributions made to shareholders of The Tape Company relating to taxes incurred by these shareholders for earnings of the business unit of The Tape Company which was organized as a subchapter S corporation. These distributions were made prior to the business combination with the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, cash provided by financing activities was generated primarily from proceeds received from the exercise of common stock options. Financing activities should provide the Company's primary source of cash during the remainder of fiscal year 1999, primarily to support the Company's growth. 16 17 During the three months ended June 30, 1998, $11.4 million was used in operating activities, while net cash of $1.1 million was provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 1997. Increased working capital requirements during the three months ended June 30, 1998, were partially funded by cash generated by the Company's operations, with the remainder provided by financing activities. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased working capital required to support the Company's growth was funded by cash generated from operating activities. Funds used for investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 1998 included incremental costs of an acquired business and for capital expenditures. During May 1998, certain events occurred which were defined in the acquisition agreement for Steadi-Systems, which caused the Company to incur approximately $2.9 million in contingent cash payments for that acquisition. Capital expenditures of approximately $1.9 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 consisted primarily of additions to upgrade the Company's management information systems, including the Company's Internet based customer tools, including its on-line catalog and ordering tool (SOLOnet) and other methods of electronic commerce, and general expansion of its facilities, both domestic and foreign. The principal use of funds for investing activities were for capital expenditures of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The Company anticipates that its total investment in upgrades and additions to facilities for fiscal year 1999 will be approximately $6 million to $7 million. Working capital increased to $143.0 million at June 30, 1998 from $124.0 million at March 31, 1998. This increase of $19.0 million was primarily attributable to an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable, which were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. During the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company generally maintained an accounts receivable balance of approximately 47 days of sales. Inventory turnover, excluding Priority Fulfillment Services Division, was approximately 7 and 10 turns for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company generally maintains an inventory turnover of approximately 10 to 11 turns, however, inventory turnover was lower during the three months ended June 30, 1998 primarily due to increased inventory levels held by the Company's pro-tape business and due to inventory buy-in activity to take advantage of enhanced product sourcing opportunities. In May 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with certain banks for an unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the "Facility") that, as amended on February 13, 1998, has a maximum borrowing availability of $65.0 million and expires on December 31, 2000. Availability under the Facility is based upon amounts of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had borrowed $24.9 million, leaving $40.1 million available under the Facility for additional borrowings. The Facility accrues interest, at the Company's option, at the prime rate of a bank or a eurodollar rate plus an adjustment ranging from 0.625% to 1.125% depending on the Company's financial performance. A commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.25% is charged on the unused portion of the Facility. The Facility contains various covenants including, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios including the achievement of a minimum fixed charge ratio and minimum level of tangible net worth, and restrictions on certain activities of the Company, including loans and payments to related parties, incurring additional debt, acquisitions, investments and asset sales. During October 1997, the Company's Australian subsidiary entered into an agreement with an Australian bank for an unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the "Australian Facility"). The Australian Facility, as amended in July 1998, expires on December 31, 2000 and allows the Company to borrow Australian dollars up to a maximum of $7.5 million (Australian), or approximately $4.6 million (U.S.) at June 30, 1998. The Australian Facility accrues interest at the Australian Bank Bill Rate plus 0.75%. A commitment fee of 0.25% is charged on the total amount of the Australian Facility. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had borrowed approximately $3.8 million (U.S.), leaving approximately $0.8 million (U.S.) available under the Australian Facility for additional borrowings. During December 1997, the Company's Canadian subsidiary entered into an agreement with a Canadian bank for an unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the "Canadian Facility"). The Canadian Facility, which expires on December 31, 2000, allows the Company to borrow Canadian or U.S. dollars up to a maximum of $15.0 million (Canadian), or approximately $10.2 million (U.S.) at June 30, 1998. The Company had borrowed approximately $8.3 million (U.S.) under the Canadian Facility, leaving approximately $1.9 million (U.S.) available under the Canadian Facility for additional borrowings at June 30, 1998. The Canadian Facility accrues interest at the Company's option at the bank's prime rate, the bank's cost of funds plus 0.65%, the bank's U.S. dollar commercial loan rate or LIBOR plus 0.65%. A commitment fee of 0.25% is charged on the unused portion of the Canadian Facility. 17 18 During January 1998, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with a bank which allows the Company to borrow up to a maximum of $10.0 million. Amounts borrowed under this note agreement bear interest at the bank's discretion, primarily based on a money market borrowing rate plus an adjustment. The maturity date of any amounts borrowed will occur prior to January 1999, the expiration date of the note. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under this promissory note agreement at June 30, 1998. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, approximately 23% of the Company's net sales were sold through the Company's Canadian, Mexican, Australian, Singaporean and U.S. export operations, including Latin America. The Company believes that international markets represent further opportunities for growth. The Company attempts to protect itself from foreign currency fluctuations by denominating substantially all of its non-Canadian and non-Australian international sales in U.S. dollars. In addition, the Company has entered into various forward Canadian and Australian currency exchange contracts in order to hedge the Company's net investment in, and its intercompany payable applicable to, its Canadian and Australian subsidiaries. The Company has the following forward currency exchange contracts outstanding: CURRENCY TYPE US$ CONTRACT AMOUNT CONTRACT TYPE EXPIRATION ------------- ------------------- ------------- ---------- Canadian Dollars $11.7 million Sell Canadian Dollars October 1998 Australian Dollars $1.8 million Sell Australian Dollars October 1998 Australian Dollars $0.5 million Sell Australian Dollars October 1998 Australian Dollars $3.7 million Sell Australian Dollars October 1998 As of June 30, 1998, the Company had incurred unrealized gains of approximately $0.3 million, net of income taxes, on these outstanding Canadian and Australian forward exchange contracts. The Company may consider entering into other forward exchange contracts in order to hedge the Company's net investment in its Canadian, Australian, Mexican, and Singaporean subsidiaries, although no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to do so on acceptable terms. The Company may attempt to acquire other businesses to expand its product line in its core wholesale business and/or in the call-center or public warehousing industries in connection with its efforts to grow its PFS subsidiary. The Company currently has no agreements to acquire any such businesses. Should the Company be successful in acquiring other businesses, the Company may require additional financing to consummate such a transaction. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties, therefore, the Company can give no assurance with respect to whether it will be successful in identifying such a business to acquire, whether it will be able to obtain financing to complete such an acquisition, or whether the Company will be successful in operating the acquired business. The Company believes it will be able to satisfy its working capital needs for fiscal year 1999, as well as business growth and planned capital expenditures, through funds available under the Company's various line of credit facilities, trade credit, lease financing, internally generated funds and by increasing the amount available under the Company's credit facilities. In addition, depending on market conditions and the terms thereof, the Company may also consider obtaining additional funds through an additional line of credit, other debt financing or the sale of capital stock; however, no assurance can be given in such regard. YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Company has developed plans to ensure its information systems are capable of properly utilizing dates beyond December 31, 1999 (the "Year 2000" issue). The Company believes that with upgrades or modifications to existing software and conversion to new software, the impact of the Year 2000 issue can be mitigated. However, if such upgrades, modifications and conversions are not made, or are not made in a timely manner, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the Company's operations. The total cost of implementing these system upgrades and modifications is not expected to be material to the 18 19 Company's results of operations or cash flows, and the Company estimates completion by December 31, 1998. The costs of the Year 2000 project and the date on which the Company plans to complete Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from these estimates. To the extent it can, the Company is also working with its customers, suppliers and other service providers to ensure their systems are Year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance that customers or suppliers will successfully implement Year 2000 compliant systems. In the event that numerous or significant customers or suppliers do not successfully implement Year 2000 compliant systems, the Company's operations could be materially affected. In the event any service providers are unable to convert their systems appropriately, the Company will switch to providers capable of performing such processing. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT The Company manages its computer consumable supplies inventories held for sale in its wholesale distribution business by maintaining sufficient quantities of product to achieve high order fill rates while at the same time maximizing inventory turnover rates. Inventory balances will fluctuate as the Company adds new product lines and makes large purchases from suppliers to take advantage of attractive terms. To reduce the risk of loss to the Company due to supplier price reductions and slow moving inventory, the Company's purchasing agreements with many of its suppliers, including most of its major suppliers, contain price protection and stock return privileges under which the Company receives credits against future purchases if the supplier lowers prices on previously purchased inventory or the Company can return slow moving inventory in exchange for other products. During fiscal year 1997, the Company, through its PFS subsidiary, began providing product fulfillment and distribution services for third parties. Certain of these distribution agreements provide that the Company own the related inventory, some of which also allow for the third party to manage the levels of inventory held by the Company. As a result, the levels of inventory held by the Company under these contracts is higher than the Company would normally carry in its core wholesale business. SEASONALITY Although the Company historically has experienced its greatest sequential quarter revenue growth in its fourth fiscal quarter, management has not been able to determine the specific event, if any, of seasonal factors that may cause quarterly variability in operating results. Management believes, however, that factors that may influence quarterly variability include the overall growth in the non-paper computer supplies industry and shifts in demand for the Company's products due to a variety of factors, including sales increases resulting from the introduction of new computer supplies products. The Company generally experiences a relative slowness in sales during the summer months, which may adversely affect the Company's first and second fiscal quarter results in relation to sequential quarter performance. The Company believes that results of operations for a quarterly period may not be indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year. INFLATION Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION The matters discussed in this report on Form 10-Q, other than historical information, and, in particular, information regarding future revenue, earnings and business plans and goals, consist of forward-looking information under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to and involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the 19 20 "Risk Factors" set forth in the Company's prospectus dated March 26, 1998, and the matters set forth in the Company's Report on Form 10-K filed on May 29, 1998, which are incorporated by reference herein, as well as general economic conditions, industry trends, the loss of key suppliers or customers, the loss of strategic product shipping relationships, customer demand, product availability, competition (including pricing and availability), risks inherent in acquiring, integrating and operating new businesses, concentrations of credit risk, distribution efficiencies, capacity constraints, technological difficulties, exchange rate fluctuations, and the regulatory and trade environment (both domestic and foreign). IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," during the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). The Company restated its earnings per share data for all periods presented. The Company also adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," during the quarter ended June 30, 1998. SFAS No. 130 requires companies to report comprehensive income, which is defined as all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and distribution to owners. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997; however, earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS No. 131 requires the disclosure of financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments. SFAS No. 131 modifies existing disclosure requirements, which will have no effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and its potential impact on disclosures and will adopt these pronouncement in its fiscal year 1999 annual financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be used to hedge certain types of transactions, including foreign currency exposures of a net investment in a foreign operation. The Company presently utilizes derivative financial instruments only to hedge its net investment in certain of its foreign operations. SFAS No. 133 requires gains or losses on these financial instruments in other comprehensive income as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The Company currently complies with the provisions of SFAS No. 133 in its accounting treatment of these financial instruments. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, with initial application as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter. Early adoption of the standard is allowed, however, the statement cannot be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. 20 21 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
