NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1. GENERAL The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Dorsey Trailers, Inc. (the "Company") without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. In the opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at April 1, 2000, and December 31, 1999, and its results of operations and its cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, respectively. NOTE 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of the following: April 1, December 31, 2000 1999 ------- ------- (In thousands) Raw material $ 9,987 $11,648 Work-in-process 1,369 3,005 Finished trailers 1,266 1,189 Used trailers 212 216 ------- ------- $12,834 $16,058 ======= ======= NOTE 3. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT On March 28, 1997, the Company entered into a $14,000, five-year line of credit ("Financing Agreement"), including a $4,000 term loan and a letter of credit facility of up to $3,000, with an asset-based lender. The term loan was paid with the final payment being made on July 1, 1998. On December 31, 1998, the Company's Financing Agreement was amended. The amendment provided for an overadvance facility of $2,000 through January 31, 1999; $1,500 through February 28, 1999; and $1,000 through March 31, 1999. -7- 8 On June 30, 1999 the Company amended the Financing Agreement. The amended agreement increased the advance rates for the eligible accounts. The advance rates increased from 80% to 85% of eligible accounts receivable; from 30% to 35% of eligible raw material; and from 60% to 70% of eligible finished goods inventory. The amended agreement permits interest rate concessions for meeting certain net income and net worth benchmarks. The amended agreement improved certain net worth covenants. In addition, the agreement was extended for an additional two-year term. In connection with the closing of the original $14,000 Financing Agreement, the Company incurred costs of approximately $1,150, which are being amortized over the amended life of the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement bears interest at prime plus 1.5% with interest payable monthly. At April 1, 2000 the interest rate was 10.5% for the Financing Agreement. Annual commitment fees for the unused portion of the Financing Agreement and outstanding letters of credit are .375% and 2.0%, respectively. Additionally, the Company is required to pay monthly a $5 servicing fee and an annual facility fee of $75. The Financing Agreement allows advances of up to the lesser of $14,000 less the outstanding letters of credit obligations, or 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 35% of eligible raw material, and 70% of eligible finished goods inventory less the outstanding letters of credit obligations. The Company has certain limitations on the maximum amount of advances the Company can receive against inventory. As of April 1, 2000, the Company had $9,061 outstanding under the Financing Agreement and $1,775 in letters of credit (See note 4). The Financing Agreement is collateralized by a first security interest in the Company's accounts receivable and inventory. The Financing Agreement contains certain operational and financial covenants and other restrictions with which the Company must comply. The covenants include, but are not limited to, the following: minimum earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization; minimum net worth; and maximum amount of capital expenditures. As of April 1, 2000 and May 15, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Financing Agreement. NOTE 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Workers' compensation insurance and letters of credit The Company is self-insured for workers' compensation claims up to $350 per occurrence. In order to secure the Company's obligation to fund its self-insured retention, the Company has obtained standby letters of credit of $1,755 as of April 1, 2000 under its Financing Agreement (See Note 3). The accompanying condensed financial statements include an insurance accrual based upon third party administrators' and management's evaluation of estimated future costs of outstanding claims and an estimated liability for claims incurred, but not reported, on an undiscounted basis. The ultimate cost of these claims will depend on the individual claims given the potential for these claims to increase or decrease over time. Management believes that any claims as of April 1, 2000 arising under this self-insurance program will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Customer Financing The Company maintains an agreement with a finance company, which provides wholesale floor plans for certain of the Company's independent dealers. The Company is contingently liable under repurchase agreements with the finance company for approximately $4,988 million at April 1, 2000. In -8- 9 the opinion of management, it is not probable that the Company will be required to satisfy this contingent liability. Litigation In December 1997, an Administrative Law Judge of the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") ordered the Company to reinstate operations at the Company's closed Northumberland, Pennsylvania facility, reinstate striking employees and compensate effected employees for any loss of earnings. In March 1999, a three-member panel of the NLRB affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's decision. Unsuccessful mediation efforts took place in February 2000, between the Company and the NLRB. The Company will now continue the appeal process in the Federal Courts, a procedure that could take up to several years. No part of this order will take effect during the appeal process. The Company does not have sufficient information to estimate the cost that would be incurred if the Company was required to carry out this order. In November 1997, a declaratory judgment action was filed by an insurance company (GAN North American Insurance Co. v. Dorsey Trailers, Inc.) in United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, as to coverage of a previously paid claim of $1.0 million by that insurance company in the settlement of product liability litigation. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment and in September 1999, the trial court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment. GAN filed a notice of appeal, but in March 2000, GAN ceased the appeal process and settled the action with the Company. The amount of the settlement has been paid to the Company, but did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In April 1995, a class action lawsuit (James Starks et al. v. Dorsey Trailers, Inc. et al.) alleging racial discrimination was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama against the Company. The Court has not issued a class certification as of this date. Due to the lack of a class certification, management is unable to determine the potential damages, if any, associated with this litigation. Management intends to vigorously defend such litigation and believes that the ultimate resolution of the litigation will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in certain other litigation, in addition to the matters discussed above. Management after reviewing available information relating to the above matters and consulting with legal counsel, has determined with respect to each such matter either that it is not reasonably possible that the Company has incurred liability in respect thereof or that any liability ultimately incurred will not exceed the amount, if any, recorded at April 1, 2000 in respect thereof which would have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in the event of an unanticipated adverse final determination in respect to these matters, the Company's financial position, results of operations, and its cash flows in which period such determination occurs could be materially affected. -9- 10 Environmental Matters The Company is engaged in a project to obtain an ACT II "release from liability" from the state of Pennsylvania for the property located in Northumberland, Pennsylvania. The ACT II process was initiated in October 1999 and is anticipated to conclude in October 2000. The Company sold the property in January 2000. Subsequent to the closing of the Company's Edgerton, Wisconsin plant in 1989, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) conducted an environmental inspection that identified certain environmental response requirements. The Company entered into an agreement with the two prior owners of the Edgerton plant, limiting the Company's allocation of future expense to 4%. In 1998, the Company sold this facility, and management believes that any future expense will be diminimus and not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 1990, a leak was detected in an underground storage tank containing an industrial solvent at the Elba, Alabama facility. The Company notified the Alabama Department of Environmental Management ("ADEM") of the leak and hired an environmental consulting firm to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action. A remediation system, approved by ADEM, was installed and is performing according to expectations. The Company does not expect the costs of remediation maintenance to exceed the reserves it has established for this purpose. Labor Relations On May 3, 1999 the Company reached agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge No. 1769 (the "Union"), which represents the hourly employees of the Company's Elba, Alabama plant. The Union membership ratified the three-year collective bargaining agreement, which expires May 4, 2002. -10- 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and of its liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements of the Company and the related Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report: INCLUSION OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statements included herein have been included based upon facts available to management as of the date of the statement. Any forward-looking statement is, however, inherently subject to the uncertainty of future events, whether economic, competitive or otherwise, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, or which may involve determinations which may be made by management in the future. There can, therefore, be no assurances that the events or results described in such forward-looking statements will occur, and actual events or results may vary materially from those included herein. The following are some of the factors which may affect whether the events or results described in such forward-looking statements will occur: increased competition, dependence on key management, continued availability of credit from vendors, continued advancement of funds from lender, reliance on certain customers, shortages of new materials, component prices, labor shortages or work stoppage, dependence on current industry trends and demand for product, manufacturing interruption due to unfavorable natural events, government regulations, unfavorable results of outstanding litigation, and new technologies or products. Readers should review and consider the various disclosures included in this Quarterly Report and in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports to stockholders and public filings. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET SALES Net sales for the quarter ended April 1, 2000 were $45,128 a slight increase from $44,847 for the quarter ended April 3, 1999. New trailer sales unit volume for the quarter rose 7.6% from the same period in the prior year. The increase in unit volume growth is primarily due to completion of the United Parcel Service ("UPS") order. The UPS order, which started production in the fourth quarter of 1999, was an order that was in excess of 1,000 units. The current truck and dry freight van segment of the trailer industry have shown signs of reduced demand, due to increased fuel costs, rising interest rates and driver shortages. If industry demand continues to weaken, the Company's ability to continue volume growth quarter over quarter will be reduced. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit was $2,306 for the first quarter of 2000, or 5.1% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $2,617 for the first quarter of 1999, or 5.8% of sales. The decrease in gross profit for the first quarter of 2000 was primarily due to increased wage and benefit costs associated with the Company's new collective bargain agreement that commenced in the second quarter of 1999. The Company was unable to recapture these wage and benefit increases in sales price increases. -11- 12 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter of 2000 increased approximately $63 or 4.0% to $1,653 as compared to $1,590 for the first quarter of 1999. SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 3.7% for the quarter ended April 1, 2000 as compared to 3.5% for the quarter ended April 3, 1999. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of sales was a result of increased professional fees and increased depreciation expense related to the Company's new information system. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET Interest expense, net for the quarter ended April 1, 2000, was $501 as compared to interest expense, net of $515 for the quarter ended April 3, 1999. This decrease in interest expense was attributable to decreased usage of the Company's long-term revolving line of credit during the first quarter of 2000 in comparison with the first quarter of 1999. NET INCOME Net income for the quarter ended April 1, 2000 was $94, or $0.02 per share, as compared to a net income of $512, or $0.10 per share, for the quarter ended April 3, 1999. The decrease in net income for the first quarter of 2000 is due primarily to the increased wage and benefit costs, described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents at April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999 were $7. Net cash provided by operating activities was $888 for the period ended April 1, 2000 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $190 for the period ended April 3, 1999. The cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2000 primarily resulted from a reduction in inventories of $3,224. The cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 1999 primarily resulted from an increase in accounts receivable of $2,119. Net cash used in investing activities was $304 for the period ended April 1, 2000 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $125 for the period ended April 3, 1999. The net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 was due to capital expenditures. Net cash used in financing activities was $584 for the period ended April 1, 2000 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $315 for the period ended April 3, 1999. Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of 2000 was due to the Company making net payments on its long-term revolving line of credit of $442 and payments on long-term debt of $142. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 1999 was due to the Company making net borrowings on its long-term revolving line of credit of $424 and payments on long-term debt of $109. On March 28, 1997 the Company entered into a $14,000 five-year working capital line of credit ("Financing Agreement") with an asset-based lender. The Company's availability under the Financing Agreement changes daily based on the level of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. As of May 13, 2000, the Company had $8,707 outstanding under the Financing Agreement and $1,755 in letters of credit, and had $1,136 in availability under the Financing Agreement. On June 30, 1999 the Company amended the Financing Agreement increasing the advance rate allowed under the agreement. In addition, the agreement was extended for an additional two-year term. As of April 1, 2000 and May -12- 13 15, 2000, the Company was in compliance with the covenant requirements of the Financing Agreement. The $14,000 Financing Agreement allowed the Company to improve payment conditions with its vendors and provide the liquidity necessary for a consistent production flow. As stated above, the Company has amended its Financing Agreement, which increased the advance rates on eligible assets. Management estimates that the increased advance rates will provide the additional availability to assist in funding the operations of the Company. Additionally, the improved financial performance of the Company will aid in supporting the Company's growth. The Company continues to negotiate with vendors to obtain increased credit limits, based on the current growth of the Company and its improved financial performance. Management believes, based on the improved financial results, that the Company's liquidity position has improved during the first quarter of 2000. However, the Company's growth, prior year losses and a decrease in demand for product could constrain the Company's liquidity position. BACKLOG The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $38,610 at April 1, 2000 and $49,500 at December 31, 1999. The backlog includes only those orders for trailers for which a confirmed customer order has been received. The Company expects to fill these orders by the end of 2000. The Company manufactures trailers primarily to customer or dealer order and does not generally maintain an inventory of "stock" trailers in anticipation of future orders. However, many of the Company's dealers do maintain an inventory of stock trailers. The current dry freight van segment of the trailer industry demand has begun to show signs of softening. This current condition has been caused by increasing fuel costs, rising interest rates and driver shortages. The demand for product is generally driven by economic conditions. With a major economic downturn or a prolonged softening in the industry, the Company is susceptible to a decrease in the demand for its products. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 problem has not posed any significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as modified and converted. Maintenance and modification costs are expensed as incurred, while the costs of new hardware and software are capitalized and amortized over the assets' useful lives. During October 1999, the Company converted to a new operating system. Management estimates the total cost of the conversion and modification to be $0.9 million. With the timely completion of the modifications and conversion, the Company is now year 2000 compliant. In addition, the year 2000 issue did not have a material impact on the operations of the Company. As of May 15, 2000 the Company has not experienced any significant year 2000 issues as they relate to suppliers or customers, that would have a material impact on the operations of the Company. -13- 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
