Page 6 7 UNIFAB INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS UNIFAB International, Inc. (the Company) fabricates and assembles jackets, decks, topside facilities, quarters buildings, drilling rigs and equipment for installation and use offshore in the production, processing and storage of oil and gas. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Allen Process Systems, LLC, the Company designs and manufactures specialized process systems such as oil and gas separation systems, gas dehydration and treatment systems, and oil dehydration and desalting systems, and other production equipment related to the development and production of oil and gas reserves. The Company's main fabrication facilities are located in the Port of Iberia at New Iberia, Louisiana. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, UNIFAB International West, LLC, the Company provides repair, refurbishment and conversion services for oil and gas drilling rigs and industrial maintenance services. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Allen Process Systems, Ltd., headquartered in Wimbledon, England, the Company provides engineering and project management services primarily in Europe and the Middle East. The operating cycle of the Company's contracts is typically less than one year, although some large contracts may exceed one year's duration. Assets and liabilities have been classified as current and noncurrent under the operating cycle concept, whereby all contract-related items are regarded as current regardless of whether cash will be received within a 12-month period. At September 30, 1998, it was anticipated that substantially all contracts in progress, and receivables associated therewith, would be completed and collected within a 12-month period. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 31, 1998 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Page 7 8 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On July 24, 1998 the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Allen Tank, Inc. ("Allen Tank") for 819,000 shares of the Company's common stock, plus $400,000 in cash and $800,000 in notes paid to a dissenting shareholder. Allen Tank, (which has been converted to a limited liability company and renamed Allen Process Systems, LLC, is located in New Iberia, Louisiana on property near the Company's Port of Iberia facilities. Allen Process Systems, LLC designs and manufactures specialized process systems related to the development of oil and gas reserves. This business combination has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the combination have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Allen Tank. Operating results prior to the combination of the separate companies and the combined amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below: Three Months Six Months Ended Ended September 30, September 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 ------------- ------------- -------------- ------------- Revenues: UNIFAB 18,953,953 17,947,922 38,570,945 33,451,075 Allen Tank 12,631,165 8,575,815 21,686,845 26,812,430 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Combined 31,585,118 26,523,025 60,257,790 60,263,505 ========== ========== ========== ========== Net Income: UNIFAB 928,623 1,297,541 2,398,286 2,441,589 Allen Tank 1,390,478 255,609 1,954,166 1,425,633 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Combined 2,163,730 1,553,150 4,848,869 3,867,222 ========== ========== ========== ========== Adjustments to conform Allen Tank's accounting policies to those of UNIFAB and to apply pooling-of-interests accounting reduced net income of the combined entity for the above periods by $137,845 and $187,970, for the three- and six- month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively, and by $142,600 and $518,050 for the three-and six- month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively. The adjustments to conform accounting policies relate to the accrual of performance incentives for interim reporting periods. Prior to the combination Allen Tank's fiscal year end was December 31. UNIFAB's fiscal year end is March 31. In applying pooling-of-interests accounting, the September 30, 1998 UNIFAB statement of income was combined with the Allen Tank statements of income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and the twelve-week period ended June 13, 1998. The September 30, 1997 UNIFAB statement of income was combined with the Allen Tank statement of income for the 28-week period ended October 4, 1997. Retained earnings of the combined entities were adjusted by approximately $675,000 as of the beginning of UNIFAB's fiscal 1998 year to include the unaudited net earnings of Allen Tank, including adjustments to conform accounting policies to those of UNIFAB, for the period December 28, 1997 to March 21, 1998. During this period Allen Tank's revenues were $8,986,700. Merger expenses of approximately $275,000 include legal, investment banking and accounting fees related to the business combination and are classified as "other expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also acquired LATOKA Engineering, Ltd. for 79,000 shares of UNIFAB common stock. Page 8 9 Prior to the acquisition, Allen Tank was taxed as an S Corporation. Upon the acquisition, S Corporation status was terminated and the corporation was subject to federal and state income taxes. In conjunction with the termination of S Corporation status, Allen Tank distributed $1.5 million to its shareholders in the form of notes. This distribution, which was consistent with prior distributions to the Allen Tank shareholders, represented the tax liability of those shareholders for S Corporation earnings through the date of the acquisition and termination of S Corporation status. The remaining undistributed earnings at the date of acquisition were accounted for as additional capital at the beginning of fiscal year March 31, 1998. The balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 1998 includes a current deferred income tax liability of approximately $742,000 and a non-current deferred income tax asset of approximately $217,000 to reflect deferred income taxes recorded as of the date of acquisition as a result of the termination of the S Corporation status of Allen Tank. 4. PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE Pro forma earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 consists of the Company's historical income, adjusted to reflect income taxes as if the Allen Tank had operated as a C Corporation for all periods. This calculation excludes the charge of $525,000 related to the cumulative deferred income taxes resulting from the conversion to a C Corporation on July 24, 1998, as described in Note 3, above. The basic and diluted earnings per share calculation includes shares issued in the acquisition of Allen Tank transaction, giving effect to the issuance at the beginning of the periods presented. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures included elsewhere herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased 19% to $31.6 million from the $26.5 generated in the three months ended September 30, 1997. For the six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, revenue was $60.3 million. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to revenue recognized on engineering, design and manufacture of specialized process systems, which vary in size, complexity and types of materials used, all of which impact the revenue volume. Additionally, revenues increased from plant maintenance and international project management businesses acquired in 1998. At September 30, 1998 backlog was approximately $32.6 million. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased 13% or $2.8 million to $25.2 million from $22.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 1997. For the six-month period ended September 30, 1998, cost of revenue of $48.1 million was $3.2 million or 6% lower than for the same period in 1997. Cost of revenue consists of costs associated with the fabrication process, including direct costs (such as direct labor costs and raw materials) and indirect costs (such as supervisory labor, utilities, welding supplies and equipment costs) that can be specifically allocated to projects. These costs decreased as a percentage of revenues to 79.8% in the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 from 84.3% and 85.1% for the same periods in 1997. The decrease in cost as a percentage of revenues is a result of the make up of projects including the type of material called for on process systems, such as stainless steel, cladding or duplex stainless steel content, the extent of design and engineering Page 9 10 required and the mix between fixed-price and time-and-material contracts. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $6.4 million and for the six months ended September 30, 1998 increased to $12.2 million from $4.2 million and $9.0 million in the corresponding periods in 1997 mainly due to improved margins on fixed-price contracts and a favorable mix of services and materials on the Company's time and materials contracts. While the downturn in oil and natural gas prices has not yet affected the Company's financial results, reductions in capital budgets announced by the major oil companies could result in fewer projects. As competition for those projects increases, the Company's margins could be affected. Selling, general and administrative expense increased to 2.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.7 million in the same period in 1997, and was $4.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $3.3 million in the same period in 1997. This increase is due to increases in regulatory, reporting and other costs associated with being a corporation with publicly traded securities, the additional general and administrative costs associated with the acquired Lake Charles facility and London operations, and costs associated with the Company's safety program. Other income (expense) includes interest income and expense, which fluctuate with the weighted average amount of funds invested or borrowed over the period. Other expense also includes approximately $275,000 in costs associated with the acquisition of Allen Tank, Inc. on July 24, 1998, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Historically, the Company has funded its business activities through funds generated from its operations and borrowings under its credit facility. Net cash provided by operations was $6.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998. During the same period the Company had capital expenditures of $1.3 million, including improvements to facilities and equipment which will increase the productivity of the labor force, add a product line of rolled goods and increase the load out capacity of the fabrication facility located at the Port of Iberia. On July 27, 1998, the Company amended and restated its unsecured credit facility (the "Second Restated Credit Facility") with a commercial lender, which provides for up to $10.0 million in borrowings for general corporate purposes and for letters of credit up to $10.0 million under a revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the prime lending rate established by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 2.0%, at the Company's option. The fee for issued letters of credit is 7/8 of 1% per annum on the principal amount of the letter of credit. The unused commitment fee is 3/8 of 1% per annum. The revolving credit facility matures August 31, 2000. At September 30, 1998, the Company had letters of credit of $9.9 million in the aggregate and borrowings outstanding of $360,000 under the revolving credit facility. The Second Restated Credit Facility also provides for replacement of several letters of credit under a non-revolving credit facility. At September 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $168,000 under this non-revolving credit facility. The non-revolving letter of credit facility is reduced upon the expiration of each letter of credit, the last of which is scheduled to expire in January 2000. The Second Restated Credit Facility provides for a $7,000,000 term loan facility with quarterly principle payments of $350,000 plus interest commencing September 30, 1998. Amounts outstanding under the term loan facility bear interest under the same terms described above for borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The Company has a (pound)500,000 revolving credit facility and a (pound)1,000,000 non-revolving term credit facility with a commercial lender in London, England. These facilities bear interest at 1.0% over the lender's base rate (8.5% at September 30, 1998), and are secured by a letter of credit issued under the Page 10 11 Company's Second Restated Credit Facility described above. The non-revolving term credit facility calls for quarterly payments of (pound)50,000. Amounts outstanding under the revolving and non-revolving credit facilities were (pound)472,950 and (pound)850,000, respectively, at September 30, 1998. On July 24, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Allen Tank, Inc. for 819,000 shares of UNIFAB common stock, $400,000 in cash and notes of $800,000. The Company used available funds in the acquisition. Management believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund any capital expenditures and working capital needs. The Company may expand its operations through acquisitions in the future, which may require additional equity or debt financing. IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 The Company has assessed and continues to assess the impact of the year 2000 on its reporting systems and operations. The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have date sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This could potentially result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in other similar normal business operations. Although the Company is still assessing the impact of the year 2000 issue on its information technology systems, at this time the Company believes the impact will not be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company has not yet communicated with all of its significant customers, suppliers and vendors to ensure that they have appropriate plans to address year 2000 issues where they may otherwise impact the operations of the Company. However, the Company does not have any significant customers, suppliers or vendors that directly interface with the Company's information technology systems. There is no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be converted timely and will not have an adverse effect on the Company.
