CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Moore-Handley, 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, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 31, 1999. The financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. 2. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and net income. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive employee stock options and net income. Basic and diluted earnings per share were the same for the first three quarters of 1999 and 1998. 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped. 6 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) SUMMARY Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 increased $4,837,000 or 12.5% from the same quarter in 1998. Net loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 2 cents per share compared to net loss per share of 5 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. Net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 6 cents per share compared to net income per share of 1 cent per share for the same period in 1998. Gross margin improvement of $2,152,000 in the first nine months of 1999 over the same period in 1998 was offset by disproportionately higher warehouse costs resulting in lower earnings per share. NET SALES For the three months ended September 30, 1999, warehouse shipments increased $2,792,000 or 11.0% and factory direct shipments increased $2,046,000 or 15.4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, warehouse shipments increased 11.5%, factory direct shipments increased 12.1%, and total net sales increased 11.7% compared to the prior year period. The increase in factory direct shipments reflects near record sales at the three Dealers' Marts held during each of the first three quarters of 1999 as well as the Company's expanded efforts to increase sales of lumber and building materials. The increase was affected in part by the fact that the Dealers' Mart held in the third quarter 1998 was late in September and the orders from that Mart were, for the most part, shipped and recorded in the fourth quarter 1998. Gross margins on direct shipments are lower than gross margins on warehouse shipments; however, expenses related to direct shipments are also lower. While the trend toward factory direct shipments has resulted in decreased gross margins, the Company believes that direct shipments are an important part of its business as a full-service wholesale distributor. The following table sets forth the major elements of net sales: Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 1998 ---------------------- ----------------------- (dollars in thousands) Net Sales: Warehouse shipments .................. $ 28,216 64.8% $ 25,425 65.6% Factory direct shipments ............. 15,350 35.2% 13,304 34.4% -------- ----- -------- ----- Net Sales .......................... $ 43,566 100.0% $ 38,729 100.0% ======== ===== ======== ===== Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 1998 ---------------------- ------------------------ (dollars in thousands) Net Sales: Warehouse shipments .................. $ 84,703 64.7% $ 75,979 64.8% Factory direct shipments ............. 46,230 35.3% 41,234 35.2% -------- ------ -------- ----- Net Sales .......................... $130,933 100.0% $117,213 100.0% ======== ====== ======== ===== 7 8 OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain financial data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------- ----- ------- ----- Net Sales .................................................. 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ======= ===== ======= ===== Gross Margin ............................................... 15.9% 15.4% 15.5% 15.4% Warehouse and delivery expense ............................. 6.4% 6.3% 6.4% 5.9% ------- ----- ------- ----- Gross profit ............................................... 9.5% 9.1% 9.1% 9.5% Selling and Administrative expense ......................... 8.8% 8.6% 8.4% 8.6% ------- ----- ------- ----- Operating income ........................................... 0.7% 0.5% 0.7% 0.8% Interest expense, net ...................................... 0.9% 0.9% 0.8% 0.9% ------- ----- ------- ----- Income (loss) before provision for income tax (benefit) .... (0.2)% (0.4)% (0.1)% (0.1)% ======= ===== ======= ===== GROSS MARGIN The gross margin percentage for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 15.9%, up from 15.4% in the third quarter of 1998, and for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 15.5% which was up slightly from 15.4% compared to the nine months of the prior year. The following table sets forth the gross margin dollars, gross margin percentages and year-over-year changes from 1998 and the first, second and third quarter of 1999: Increase (Decrease) Gross Margin vs. Same Quarter ---------------------------------------- in Previous Year Percentage --------------------------------- Amount of Total Amount Percentage Quarter (in thousands) Sales (in thousands) Points ------- -------------- ---------- -------------- ---------- 1998 - 1st 6,066 15.0 555 0.4 2nd 6,037 15.9 643 0.7 3rd 5,960 15.4 117 0.8 4th 6,260 15.0 906 (1.5) 1999 - 1st 6,456 14.5 390 (0.5) 2nd 6,826 16.0 789 0.1 3rd 6,932 15.9 972 0.5 8 9 WAREHOUSE AND DELIVERY EXPENSE Warehouse and delivery expense for the third quarter 1999 increased $380,000 or 15.7% compared to the same quarter last year. However, as a percentage of warehouse sales, for the third quarter warehouse and delivery expense increased 0.4 percentage points to 9.9% in 1999 from 9.5% in 1998. Warehouse and delivery expense for the first nine months of 1998 was reduced $177,000 by a gain on the sale of delivery equipment. For the nine month period, excluding this gain, warehouse and delivery expense increased to 9.9% in 1999 from 9.3% in 1998 as a percentage of warehouse sales. The following table sets forth the trend in warehouse and delivery expenses in 1998 and, the first, second and third quarter of 1999: Increase (Decrease) Warehouse and Delivery vs. Same Quarter Expenses in Previous Year --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Percentage Amount of Warehouse Amount Percentage Quarter (in thousands) Sales (in thousands) Points ---------- --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- -------------- 1998 - 1st 2,254 9.0 (40) (0.4) 2nd 2,220 8.7 (250) (1.6) 3rd 2,422 9.5 93 0.2 4th 2,478 9.3 85 (1.7) 1999 - 1st 2,693 9.6 439 0.6 2nd 2,855 10.0 635 1.3 3rd 2,802 9.9 380 0.4 SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE Selling and administrative expense for the third quarter and the first nine months of 1999 increased by $463,000 or 13.8% and $921,000 or 9.1% over the same periods in 1998, respectively; however, as a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expense was 8.4% for the first nine months of 1999 compared to 8.6% over the same period in 1998. The following table sets forth the quarterly trend in selling and administrative expenses in 1998 and the first, second and third quarter of 1999: Increase (Decrease) Selling and Administrative vs. Same Quarter Expense in Previous Year ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Quarter (in thousands) of Sales (in thousands) Points ---------- -------------- ---------- -------------- ---------- 1998 - 1st 3,374 8.3 (123) (0.9) 2nd 3,367 8.9 (161) (0.1) 3rd 3,358 8.6 146 0.6 4th 3,216 7.7 (252) (3.0) 1999 - 1st 3,580 8.0 206 (0.3) 2nd 3,620 8.5 253 (0.4) 3nd 3,821 8.8 463 0.2 INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased $46,000 or 13.9% during the third quarter of 1999 compared to the same period during 1998 and decreased $37,000 or 3.5% for the nine months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. Interest expense was 0.9% of sales for the month of September in 1999 and 1998. Interest on the Company's working capital line of credit is charged at the prime rate which was 8.5% at the end of the third quarter of 1998 and was 8.25% as of the end of the same period in 1999. 9 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES From December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999, the Company's net trade receivables increased by $2,986,000 or 12.3%. The increase was due to the higher level of sales during the first nine months of 1999 and because of extended terms given to customers as a part of the sales promotion in conjunction with the third quarter 1999 Dealers' Mart. Inventories decreased by $113,000 or 1% in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998. Additionally, inventories decreased $1,306,000 or 6.9% compared to September 30, 1998, as the Company continues its efforts to reduce inventory levels while maintaining its high "fill rate" (the percentage of items shipped within 48 hours of the receipt of an order) on customer orders. The company's fill rate in recent months has exceeded 96%. The Company's working capital needs and investing activity requirements for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 were greater than cash flow from operations and therefore the Company increased its borrowing under its working capital line of credit. At September 30, 1999, the Company had an unused working capital line of credit of $2,091,000, which it believes is adequate to finance its working capital requirements. INTEREST RATE RISK The following discussion about the Company's interest rate risk includes "forward looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. The Company's principal credit agreement and the Company's lease with respect to industrial development bonds issued to finance the Company's principal warehouse distribution facility both bear a floating interest rate based on, in the case of the credit agreement, the prime rate or at the Company's option 2 1/2% over LIBOR, and in the case of the industrial development lease, based on 92% of the prime rate. Accordingly, the Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. At September 30, 1999, $17,761,000 was outstanding under the credit agreement and $1,832,000 was outstanding under the industrial development lease agreement. For 1998, the average principal amount outstanding under the credit agreement was $12,039,000. Assuming the average amount outstanding under the credit agreement during 1999 is equal to such average amount outstanding during 1998 and assuming the Company makes its scheduled amortization payments on its industrial development lease of $769,000 in 1999, a 1% increase in the applicable interest rate during 1999 would result in additional interest expense of approximately $60,000, which would reduce cash flow and pre-tax earnings dollar for dollar. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Company is in the process of modifying or replacing those portions of its software which are used in the ordinary course of the Company's business so that its computer, telephone and other systems will function properly with respect to dates of the year 2000 and thereafter. Based on its current assessment of which portions of the software and hardware must be modified, the Company estimates the cost of the year 2000 project will be approximately $45,000 most of which has been expended through the third quarter of 1999. The Company anticipates that the required modifications will be largely completed in a timely fashion between now and year end and does not anticipate any material interruption of its business stemming from the failure of its software and hardware to be year 2000 compliant. The Company is focusing its efforts on those systems which it believes are essential to its ability to conduct its operations in the ordinary course of business. The modification, replacement and testing of these essential systems has been completed as of the end of the third quarter of 1999. The Company has made an assessment of the year 2000 compliance of most of its embedded microchips and other micro-processors in the non-information technology equipment that it uses in its operations. While it is impossible to be certain, the Company presently anticipates that it will be able to repair or replace non-year 2000 compliant equipment as necessary without material disruption to it operations. 10 11 Even though the Company is in the process of converting its computer and other systems so that they will be year 2000 compliant, it is possible that third parties with whom the Company does business will encounter problems with their systems that may have an adverse impact on the Company. The Company has not ascertained the year 2000 compliance of the approximately 1,400 suppliers of the products it distributes. However, no supplier accounts for more than 4.5% of the Company's total purchases and substantially all products of the type distributed by the Company are available from a number of manufacturers. The Company has no contingency plan for addressing possible disruptions in utility service to the Company stemming from year 2000 problems, such as power, telephone and the like, but will rely on those suppliers to address their year 2000 issues in a timely manner so as to avoid a material disruption of service to the Company. The Company is unable to predict with any certainty the reasonable worst case scenario for disruption to its operations stemming from year 2000 issues. These could range from minor disruption of its operations requiring temporary work-around solutions that may involve additional overtime or other unanticipated costs, to the potential for lost sales and additional costs to repair or replace equipment if the Company encounters greater disruption than is currently anticipated. INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the financial statements and other statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "in the process", "could", "target" and "objective" indicate the presence of forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements are the following: - - competitive pressures on sales and pricing, including those from other wholesale distributors and those from retailers in competition with the Company's customers; - - the Company's ability to achieve projected cost savings from its warehouse modernization program and ongoing cost reduction efforts; - - changes in cost of goods and the effect of differential terms and conditions available to larger competitors of the Company; - - uncertainties associated with any acquisition the Company may seek to implement; - - changes in general economic conditions, including interest rates; and - - impact of year 2000 on the Company's operations, including issues relating to the compliance or lack thereof by third-party suppliers.
