As the Company has recorded net losses for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997, any common stock equivalents would be antidilutive; therefore, Basic Earnings per Share and Diluted Earnings per Share are equivalent under FAS 128. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In April 1994, Ricoh Company, Ltd. and Ricoh Corporation ("Ricoh") brought a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of New Hampshire ("District Court"), alleging the Company's infringement of the U.S. patents 4,611,730 and 4,878,603 relating to certain toner cartridges for Ricoh copiers. In March 1997, the District Court decided to enjoin Nashua from manufacturing, using or selling its NT-50 and NT-6750 toner cartridges. Sales of these products in 1996 amounted to one percent of Nashua's total sales. The District Court left the subject of damages, if any, to subsequent proceedings. The Company disagrees with the District Court's decision and has appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Court of Appeals"). At the trial, Ricoh alleged that its damages would be approximately $10 million as of the date of the trial, and the Company alleged that such damages should be in the range of $.1 million to $.4 million. Ricoh also is seeking treble damages and attorneys' fees for willful infringement, but the Company believes an award for such damages is unlikely. In June of 1998, the District Court appointed an expert witness to provide expert testimony concerning the issue of damages. The Company expects such expert testimony to be provided to the District Court during the third quarter of 1998. Management believes that damages, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position. The Company is awaiting the District Court's decision on the issue of damages and the Court of Appeal's decision in respect to the Company's appeal. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 133 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement is effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999. FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the Company anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial position. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. -5- 6 STOCK OPTIONS At July 3, 1998, options for 682,570 shares of common stock were outstanding. Stock options for an additional 119,523 shares may be awarded under the Company's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY On June 24, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time in the open market of up to one million shares of its common stock, subject to financial and market conditions, Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and financial covenant limitations with the Company's lender. On June 24, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan adopted in July 1996. The amendment increases from 10 percent to 20 percent the beneficial stock ownership and tender offer threshold at which preferred stock purchase rights would detach from the Company's common stock and become exercisable. BUSINESS CHANGES On April 9, 1998, the Company completed the sale of its Photofinishing Group. The Company received net proceeds of $49.9 million for the net assets of the businesses and after recording taxes of $7.9 million, recorded a gain of $1.1 million. For the first six months of 1998, the Photofinishing Group had revenues of $22 million. The gain on the sale and the results of operations are reported as a discontinued operation. On April 6, 1998, the Company transferred certain assets and licensed certain technology related to its United Kingdom-based Microsharp imaging technology. The Company expects to realize a small gain from the transaction upon satisfaction of promissory notes received as part of the transaction and due December 31, 1998. The Company's United States-based projection screen development, now called Nashua Projection Systems, is continuing the process of qualifying its products for rear projection applications. OTHER These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 3, 1998, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended July 3, 1998 and June 27, 1997 and cash flows for the six month period ended July 3, 1998. -6- 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CORPORATE MATTERS On April 9, 1998, the Company completed the sale of its Photofinishing Group. The Company received net proceeds of $49.9 million for the net assets of the businesses and after recording taxes of $7.9 million, recorded a gain of $1.1 million. For the first six months of 1998, the Photofinishing Group had revenues of $22 million. The gain on the sale and the results of operations are reported as a discontinued operation. On April 6, 1998, the Company transferred certain assets and licensed certain technology related to its United Kingdom-based Microsharp imaging technology. The Company expects to realize a small gain from the transaction upon satisfaction of promissory notes received as part of the transaction and due December 31, 1998. The Company's United States-based projection screen development, now called Nashua Projection Systems, is continuing the process of qualifying its products for rear projection applications. The Company recognized a pretax loss of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 1998 related to the investment in Cerion Technologies, Inc. ("Cerion"). The loss from the investment in Cerion included $2.3 million resulting from Cerion's writedown of certain long-lived assets and the establishment of a reserve for amounts due from one customer. On August 11, 1998, Cerion issued a press release stating that difficult market conditions persisted during the second quarter within the disk drive industry highlighted by product oversupply and severe pricing pressures and further stating that it believes industry uncertainty will continue to affect its financial performance and order volume. In addition, on August 13, 1998, Cerion announced that it is actively seeking a buyer for its business, the outcome of which may also affect the future value of the Company's investment in Cerion. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales of $40.1 million for the second quarter of 1998 reflected a 7.3 percent decrease from sales of $43.2 million in the second quarter of 1997. The sales decline resulted primarily from lower toner and paper volumes in the Imaging Supplies Division and to a lesser extent from lower prices in the Label Division, partially offset by increased volume of thermal and dry gummed papers in the Specialty Coated Products Division. The decline in gross margin from the second quarter of 1997 to the current quarter is primarily the result of lower prices in the Label Division resulting from competitive market pressures. Sales of $84.6 million for the first six months of 1998 million were 3.5 percent lower than sales of $87.7 million for the comparable period in 1997, primarily as a result of lower toner and paper volume in the Imaging Supplies Division which were partially offset by increased thermal paper volume in the Specialty Coated Products Division. The volume declines in the Imaging Supplies Division for the second quarter and first six months of 1998, when compared to the same periods of 1997, were largely attributable to the impact of weak Asian markets on several key customers and reduction of volume in the dealer agent channel caused by the delay in introduction of new products. In the second quarter of 1998, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 1997. Excluding the $2.8 million loss from the Company's investment in Cerion recognized in the second quarter of 1998, and the $2.8 million restructuring and other unusual charges recognized in the second quarter of 1997, pretax results improved by $.9 million in 1998 due to reduced expenses related to the Company's development of its Projection System's screen technology and increased interest income from the investment of cash generated by the sale of the Photofinishing Group. Research, selling, distribution and administrative expenses decreased 13.0 percent, or $1.6 million, for the second quarter of 1998 and 11.2 percent, or $2.6 million, for the first six months of 1998 versus the comparable periods in 1997. Research expense decreased as the result of the elimination of projection -7- 8 screen development expenses in the United Kingdom-based Microsharp imaging operation on April 6, 1998 and a reduced workforce. The decrease in selling and distribution expense resulted from lower sales, partially offset by higher freight rates. Reduced administrative costs are largely attributable to the restructuring activities completed during the past twelve months. Net restructuring and other unusual charges of $4.3 million were recorded in the full year of 1997 related to the sale of excess real estate in Nashua, NH and other business unit and functional realignments. Details of the charges related to continuing operations and the activity recorded during the second quarter of 1998 follows: Balance Current Balance April 3, Period July 3, (In thousands) 1998 Charges 1998 -------- ------- ------- Provisions for severance related to workforce reductions $1,239 $356 $ 883 Provisions for assets to be sold or discarded 576 228 348 Other 247 66 181 ------ ----- ------ Total $2,062 $650 $1,412 ====== ==== ====== All charges, excluding asset writedowns, are principally cash in nature and are expected to be funded from operations or current cash balances. The estimated annual effective income tax benefit of 37 percent for the first six months of 1998 is higher than the U.S. statutory rate principally due to the deductibility of state income taxes. LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Working capital increased $40.6 million from December 31, 1997, primarily from net proceeds generated by the sale of the Photofinishing Group. The Company expects that a portion of the proceeds will be reinvested in its continuing businesses. In addition, on June 24, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time in the open market of up to one million shares of its common stock, subject to financial and market conditions, Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and financial covenant limitations with the Company's lender. OTHER MATTERS The Company is in the process of addressing the Year 2000 compliance issues for both information and non information technology systems including third parties with whom the Company has a material relationship. The Company expects to complete the necessary conversions and implementations by the end of the second quarter of 1999. Testing of conversions already completed began in the second quarter of 1998 and will continue as each material system is completed throughout 1998 and 1999. The Company has made and expects to continue to make substantial progress towards Year 2000 compliance during 1998 and therefore has not developed a contingency plan. The Company does not expect the costs of attaining Year 2000 compliance or the risks of not attaining full compliance to be material to the Company's business, operations or financial condition. On June 24, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan adopted in July 1996. The amendment increases from 10 percent to 20 percent the beneficial stock ownership and tender offer threshold at which preferred stock purchase rights would detach from the Company's common stock and become exercisable. -8- 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In August and September 1996, two individual plaintiffs initiated lawsuits in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against the Company, Cerion, certain directors and officers of Cerion, and the Company's underwriter, on behalf of classes consisting of all persons who purchased the common stock of Cerion between May 24, 1996 and July 9, 1996. These two complaints were consolidated. In March 1997, the same individual plaintiffs joined by a third plaintiff filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (the "Consolidated Complaint"). The Consolidated Complaint alleged that, in connection with Cerion's -9- 10 initial public offering, the defendants issued materially false and misleading statements and omitted the disclosure of material facts regarding, in particular, certain significant customer relationships. In October 1997, the Court, on motion by the defendants, dismissed the Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Complaint alleging substantially similar claims as the Consolidated Complaint seeking damages and injunctive relief. On May 6, 1998, the Court, on motion by the defendants, dismissed with prejudice the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint. The plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal of the Court's ruling. The Company continues to believe that this lawsuit is without merit and plans to vigorously defend itself in this matter on appeal. In April 1994, Ricoh Company, Ltd. and Ricoh Corporation ("Ricoh") brought a lawsuit in the United States District Court, District of New Hampshire ("District Court"), alleging the Company's infringement of the U.S. patents 4,611,730 and 4,878,603 relating to certain toner cartridges for Ricoh copiers. In March 1997, the District Court decided to enjoin Nashua from manufacturing, using or selling its NT-50 and NT-6750 toner cartridges. Sales of these products in 1996 amounted to one percent of Nashua's total sales. The District Court left the subject of damages, if any, to subsequent proceedings. The Company disagrees with the District Court's decision and has appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Court of Appeals"). At the trial, Ricoh alleged that its damages would be approximately $10 million as of the date of the trial, and the Company alleged that such damages should be in the range of $.1 million to $.4 million. Ricoh also is seeking treble damages and attorneys' fees for willful infringement, but the Company believes an award for such damages is unlikely. In June of 1998, the District Court appointed an expert witness to provide expert testimony concerning the issue of damages. The Company expects such expert testimony to be provided to the District Court during the third quarter of 1998. Management believes that damages, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position. The Company is awaiting the District Court's decision on the issue of damages and the Court of Appeal's decision in respect to the Company's appeal. ITEM 4.
