MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of income. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FIRST QUARTER COMPARISON 2001 vs. 2000 Net sales were $18,496,000 in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $17,575,000 in the first quarter of 2000 an increase of $921,000 or 5.2%. Net sales of sporting goods increased $1,711,000 or 19.0% and net sales of office and graphic arts decreased $790,000 or 9.2%. Of the increase in sporting goods net sales 65% was in game parlor products and the remaining 35% was spread over archery, basketball and darts. The increase in game parlor products was in imported game tables and the increases in basketball and darts was in product from recent acquisitions. The decrease in office and graphic arts net sales is believed to be mainly due to the slowing economy causing a decrease in the incoming order rate. Cost of sales was $12,710,000 in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $11,578,000 in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $1,132,000 or 9.8%. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 68.7% in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to 65.9% in the first quarter of 2000. Sporting goods cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 2.0% and office and graphic arts cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased .7%. Sporting goods cost of sales increase was mainly due to a shift in sales to less profitable product lines (import game tables). Office and graphic arts cost of sales decrease was mainly due to a reduction in factory expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $4,060,000 in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $3,858,000 in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $202,000 or 5.2%. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was 21.9% in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000. Interest expense increased $83,000 to $317,000 in 2001 from $234,000 in 2000, an increase of 35.5% due to higher average borrowing levels. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2001 was 37.5% as compared to 42.4% in 2000. 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $8,825,000 in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to $11,090,000 in the first quarter of 2000.
