CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1996 and September 30, 1995, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and changes in cash flow for the six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995. 2. Retentions: Contract retentions which are collectible upon the owner's approval of contract performance on construction contracts are included under receivables and amount to $6,017,000 and $5,521,000 at March 31, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively. 3. Backlog: The backlog of uncompleted contracting work was approximately $80,988,000 on contracts in force as of March 31, 1996 , compared with $87,661,000 as of September 30, 1995, inclusive of the Company's proportionate share of contract backlog from joint ventures amounting to $274,000 and $40,000 at March 31, 1996 and September_30, 1995, respectively. 4. Cash: Cash balances at March 31, 1996 include approximately $2,093,000 in restricted time deposits maintained in lieu of retention which will be released upon completion of the related construction projects. Interest income on these deposits are credited to the Company. 5. Dividends: A $0.15 per share dividend was paid on February 15, 1996 to stockholders of record on February 1, 1996. The dividend amounted to $217,000. 8 AMELCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Cash balances decreased from $3,863,000 at September 30, 1995 to $3,442,000 at March 31, 1996. This decrease in cash of $421,000 consisted of approximately $126,000 used by operating activities and $664,000 used by investing activities. The decrease was offset by $369,000 provided by financing activities. Cash used by operating activities consisted primarily of decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses aggregating $2,315,000. This change was offset by net earnings from operating activities of $375,000, an increase in billings in excess of costs and recognized profits on uncompleted contracts of $509,000 and a decrease in receivables of $1,536,000. The increase in prepaid expenses of $336,000 reflects primarily prepaid insurance premiums for the fiscal 1996 year which were funded by a short-term note payable. Net cash provided by financing activities included a $425,000 increase in borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and $638,000 under a short term note to finance insurance premiums as mentioned above. These changes were offset by repayments of long term debt and short term notes amounting to $24,000 and $453,000, respectively, and the payment of a dividend to shareholders of $217,000 in February, 1996. Net cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $645,000 and an increase in noncurrent notes receivable and other investments aggregating $33,000. The Company's construction backlog amounted to approximately $80,988,000 at March 31, 1996, of which approximately $50.5 million was in California, $13.0 million was in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, and $17.5 million in other continental U. S. states. The Company's revolving lines of credit, which were renewed in March 1996, have been increased from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000, under terms which are unchanged from those previously in effect. These short term credit facilities were increased to enhance the Company's ability to engage in new bidding opportunities in the future. At March 31, 1996, there was $1,325,000 borrowed under these lines of credit. Management believes that the present liquidity of the Company together with the availability of the aforementioned lines of credit are adequate to provide the necessary working capital to fund the Company's operations in the near term future. 9 AMELCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated revenues decreased by 6.1% in the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the prior year. The change in the six month period results primarily from revenue decreases of approximately $2.7 million from the Hawaii operations and $1.4 million from construction operations in other western continental U. S. states. These decreases were partially offset by a revenue increase in the California operations of $0.3 million. These changes in revenue volume reflect primarily the degree of success in bidding on new work as well as the scheduling requirements of the customer, and are not necessarily indicative of revenue volume or profitability in future periods. Gross profits increased by $91,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the previous period. Gross profits as a percentage of revenue were 8.7% and 8.1% in the six month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The change in gross margins reflects improved margins on construction work performed in the current period in both the California and Hawaii markets. The Company continues to experience highly competitive conditions in the commercial and industrial construction market. Management's ability to enhance profit margins in its business is largely limited to its ability to identify profitable bidding opportunities, estimate accurately during the bidding stage and upon award, to effectively manage jobsite performance. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended March 31, 1996 increased by approximately $366,000 as compared to the previous period. The change reflects increases in compensation paid to employees as well as the cost of additional project management and administrative staff, together with related office support expenses, incurred since the prior period. Interest expense increased by $44,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 1996 due primarily to increased utilization of the Company's lines of credit as compared to the previous period. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
