ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER COMPARISON 2001 vs. 2000
The third quarter was a good quarter with net sales increasing
$22,863,000 or 72.4%. Earnings per share increased 73.3% from $1.09 per share to
$1.89 per share due mainly to the increase in net sales. On September 10, 2001
Escalade Sports acquired substantially all of the assets of U S Weight, Inc.,
the only U.S. manufacturer of filled vinyl weights and sets. This acquisition is
expected to increase Escalade's on-going annual revenues by approximately
$7,000,000. Escalade Sports has reached agreement in principle to acquire two
sporting goods companies that should add approximately $4,000,000 to annual
sales.
Escalade Sports had an increase in net sales of $24,138,000 or 104.2%.
Imported product sales, including darts and game tables, was 78% of this
increase while 22% of the increase was in manufactured product sales, including
archery, basketball, table tennis tables and pool tables. Net sales of the newly
acquired U S Weight product was only $147,000 for the quarter. Escalade Sports
expects fourth quarter sales to be strong. However, if retail sales by our
customers in the fourth quarter are adversely impacted by the economy, we could
experience less demand in early 2002.
Martin Yale had a decrease in net sales of $1,275,000 or 15.2%. The
reduction in the incoming order rate , which started in the fourth quarter of
2000, continues with orders received for the quarter being down 23%. It is not
clear yet when the order pattern might pick up. Martin Yale continues to suffer
declines in sales and income due to the sharp falloff of demand in office
products related to the poor economic environment, customer inventory reduction
and customer distribution center consolidation.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 73.0% in the third
quarter of 2001 as compared to 70.0% last year. This increase in cost of sales
percentage of net sales was due mainly to the increase in sporting goods net
sales. Sporting goods product has a higher cost of sales than office and graphic
arts product. Martin Yale is continuing the transfer of all West Coast
manufacturing to Mexico. This should be completed in the first quarter of 2002.
One time costs of the transfer total $242,000 and capital expenditures relating
to the transfer total $340,000 through the third quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.5% of net sales
in the third quarter of 2001 as compared to 15.5% of net sales last year. This
decrease as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to the increase in sporting
goods net sales. Sporting goods has lower selling, general and administrative
expenses than office and graphic arts.
Interest expense in 2001 was $374,000 as compared to $596,000 last
year. This decrease was due to lower interest rates.
NINE MONTHS COMPARISON 2001 VS. 2000
Net sales were up $27,508,000 in the first nine months of 2001 as
compared to last year, an increase of 37.6%. Net income was up $1,801,000 or
40.5% and earnings per share increased 58.2% from $1.84 to $2.91. About 69% of
the earnings per share increase is due to increased sales and 31% due to lower
average shares outstanding.
Escalade Sports net sales were up $31,641,000 or 70.2% over last year.
Sales of all products are up, with 68% of the increase being in imported product
and 32% in manufactured product. As discussed above, sporting goods expects a
good fourth quarter.
ESCALADE, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Martin Yale net sales were down $4,133,000 or 14.7% from last year.
Martin Yale believes that the overall slowdown in the U.S. economy may be
adversely impacting orders and will continue to do so in the fourth quarter.
Martin Yale continues to suffer declines in sales and income due to the sharp
falloff of demand in office products related to the poor economic environment,
customer inventory reduction and customer distribution center consolidation.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 70.7% in 2001 as
compared to 67.7% in 2000. Sporting goods net sales were 76% of total net sales
in 2001 as compared to 62% in 2000. Sporting goods has a higher cost of sales
than office and graphic arts. The increase in sporting goods sales as a
percentage of total sales is the reason for the increase in cost of sales
percentage.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales were 16.9% as compared to 19.2% last year. The decrease in these expenses
as a percentage of net sales was mainly due to higher sales volume in sporting
goods, which have lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales than office and graphic arts.
Interest expense decreased $370,000 from last year or 25.2%. This
decrease was due to lower interest rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's net cash used by operating activities was $4,100,000
during the first nine months of 2001. Inventories are up $11,931,000 and
accounts receivable are up $15,004,000 from the end of the year. Receivables are
up due to strong third quarter sales and inventories are up due to acquisitions
and in preparation for fourth quarter shipments. The Company's net cash used by
investing activities was $10,664,000 during the first nine months of 2001. The
sporting goods acquisitions of Accudart in the first quarter of 2001 and U S
Weight, Inc. in the third quarter of 2001 totaled $8,645,000.
The Company's short term working capital requirements are funded by
cash flow and a revolving line of credit used to finance the purchase of trade
receivables by the Company's Swiss subsidiary from the Company's manufacturing
subsidiaries. The Company utilizes a Borrowing Base formula which defines and
identifies eligible accounts receivables in order to calculate the maximum
amount that could be borrowed under this revolving line of credit. At the end of
the third quarter, the maximum amount that could be drawn under this line of
credit was $25,000,000 of which $22,362,644 was used.
This short term revolving line of credit has been extended until May
13, 2002 with various levels of credit available. The line of credit is
$15,000,000 from June through September, $25,000,000 in October, $30,000,000 in
November, $25,000,000 in December, $20,000,000 in January, and $10,000,000 from
February through May.
The Company's long term financing requirements are currently funded by
a term loan which was increased to $25,000,000 in the third quarter and expires
March 31, 2005. Under the terms of the credit agreement the maximum borrowing
available to the Company under this revolving term loan is reduced by $5,000,000
on March 31 of each year until the line expires. The Company uses this revolving
term loan from time to time to finance acquisitions, stock buy backs and other
material obligations that may arise. The Company believes that future long term
funding for acquisition, stock buy backs or other material obligations deemed
appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors is available from similar credit
vehicles and/or other financial institutions.
During the third quarter, the Company purchased substantially all of
the assets of U S Weight, Inc., the only U.S. manufacturer of filled vinyl
weights and sets.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations,
which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 specifies that certain
acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as assets
separately from goodwill. Additionally, it requires the Company to evaluate its
existing intangible assets and goodwill and to make any necessary
reclassifications in order to conform with the new separation requirements at
the date of adoption. Goodwill and intangible assets determined to have
indefinite useful lives that are acquired in a business combination completed
after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets
acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to
be amortized until December 29, 2001. With the exception of the immediate
requirement to use the purchase method of accounting for all future business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001, the Company is required to adopt the
provision of SFAS No. 141 on December 30, 2001.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 required that goodwill no longer be amortized
but instead be tested for impairment at least annually, and that intangible
assets other than goodwill should be amortized over their useful lives. The
Company is required to adopt the provisions on December 30, 2001. Upon adoption,
the Company will be required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of
all intangible assets and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by
March 31, 2002.
