Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB 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 six-month period ended March 2, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended August 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 1996. Certain prior year amounts may have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis RESULT OF OPERATIONS Consolidated sales for the second quarter ended March 2, 1997 were $5,401,223, a decrease of approximately 2% when compared to the second quarter of the 1996 fiscal year. The decrease in second quarter sales is due to a 19% decline in sales by the Composites Division when compared to the same prior year period. Year-to-date sales total $10,177,443 and are 10% less than last year's six-month total sales. Year-to-date sales are lower by 7% at Composites, 9% at Monofilament, and 11% at Controls. The decrease in sales at Composites is primarily due to the decision by a key customer to discontinue its purchase of an antenna that contributed significantly to the revenue base of this division. New products are in development and by the end of the fourth quarter of this fiscal year should begin to generate the sales needed to replace and exceed revenue lost. Sales by the Monofilament Division are lower due to the transition from high volume, lower margin products such as bulk nylon trimmer line to lower volume, better profit margin products like polyester weaving filaments. At Glassmaster Controls Company sales are lower due to a prolonged slowdown in production levels by its largest segment of customers, heavy duty truck manufacturers. Late in the second quarter, order patterns began to accelerate and sales are expected to exceed prior year levels during the remainder of this fiscal year. Gross profit margins during the second quarter were 18.3% this year compared to 16.1% in last year's second quarter and on a year-to-date basis have increased to 17.2% of sales this year versus 16.4% of sales last year. The increase in gross margins compared to last year is due to a better mix of products and favorable raw material costs at Monofilament and improved manufacturing efficiencies at Controls. This improvement in consolidated gross profit margins was restrained due to the addition of technical and production personnel at Composites. The additional staff will have a negative affect on profit margins at Composites until additional product sales are realized. 6 7 Selling, General and Administrative, and Other Expenses were 4.6% higher during this year's second quarter when compared to last year due to higher claims experienced relative to employee insurance plans. On a year-to-date basis these expenses are lower by 3.2% compared with the prior year. Interest expense declined slightly during the second quarter and year-to-date periods when compared to last year due to lower average debt levels. Net Consolidated Income for the second quarter was $53,513 compared to $10,513 last year, and year-to-date Net Income totals $6,194 versus $45,125 last year. This year's second quarter results include a provision for Income Taxes of $28,292, while last year included an Income Tax benefit of $7,783. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The working capital of the company has decreased by approximately $86,000 so far this year and totals $1.4 million as of the end of the second quarter. During the first six months of this fiscal year, working capital was used to fund additional equipment and tooling purchases of $170,000 whereas in the prior year comparable period $322,000 was spent on capital additions. The company has repaid approximately $300,000 in long-term debt so far this fiscal year. The net operating assets and liabilities of the company have increased by approximately $416,000 this year do to increases in accounts receivable ($803,000) and inventories ($204,000). The increased operating capital requirement was funded by supplier trade credit and by borrowings under short-term credit facilities secured by receivables and inventories. These financing agreements provide for total revolving credit up to $4.5 million. As of March 2, 1997, borrowings outstanding under the credit lines were approximately $2.4 million. The company recently entered into agreements to purchase additional production equipment at Controls ($130,000) and Monofilament ($150,000) and expects to fund these acquisitions with five-year term debt and working capital. Other than these equipment additions, the company currently anticipates that its cash requirements during the remainder of this fiscal year will be provided by operating activities and from existing and committed credit facilities. 7 8 Glassmaster Company Lexington SC PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 5.
