AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands) (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1993, and the results of operations for the six months and three months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. For its interim statements of consolidated income the Company uses estimated gross profit percentages to compute cost of sales. An adjustment to actual cost is made at the end of the fiscal year, based on the annual physical inventory. 2. NET INCOME PER SHARE Net income per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Average shares outstanding for the computation of net income per share were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended December 31 December 31 1993 1992 1993 1992 ------------------ ---------------- 7,365 7,232 7,351 7,173 3. INVENTORY Effective July 1, 1993 the Company changed its application of the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method used to determine its inventory amounts for financial reporting purposes. This change revised the Company's LIFO pools to establish Company-wide inventory pools for each of the major classes of products. Previously the LIFO inventory pools were established by legal entity, rather than by class of product. Management believes that using inventory pools grouped by product is more consistent with how the Company currently manages its operations and will more accurately measure the effects of changes in inventory levels and costs. The cumulative effect on previous years from this change in LIFO pools is not determinable. Through December 31, 1993 this change has had no significant effect on the Company's results of operations for the current fiscal year. 6 8 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands) (Unaudited) 4. INCOME TAXES The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective July 1, 1993. This Statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11. As permitted by SFAS No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate the financial statements of any prior years. There was no significant cumulative effect on the Statements of Consolidated Income for adopting SFAS 109. Deferred income taxes reflect the estimated future tax consequences of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (b) tax credit carryforwards. The significant components of the Company's net deferred tax liability as of July 1, 1993 are as follows: Deferred tax liabilities: Differences between the book and tax basis of: Property $ 5,742 Inventory 7,465 Other 734 ------- 13,941 Deferred tax assets: Compensation liabilities not currently deductible 3,491 Reserves not currently deductible 3,471 Tax loss and credit carryforwards 1,357 Other 995 ------- 9,314 Valuation allowance (243) ------- Net deferred tax liability $ 4,870 ======= The valuation allowance was established due to the Company's estimation that certain state income tax loss carryforwards may expire unused. 7 9 BEARINGS, INC.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION The following is a reconciliation of net income to total cash provided from (used for) operating activities: Six Months Ended December 31 1993 1992 ---------------------- _______________________________________________________________ Net income $ 4,629 $ 3,260 Depreciation 6,748 6,334 Provision for losses on accounts receivable 933 1,172 (Gain) loss on sale of property (631) 128 Amortization of restricted common stock compensation and goodwill 1,377 238 Treasury shares contributed to employee benefit plans 855 405 Changes in current assets and liabilities: Accounts receivable 1,772 7,857 Inventories (31,106) (15,421) Other current assets 869 1,181 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 9,271 (422) Other - net 618 201 --------------------------------------------------------------- Total cash provided from (used for) operating activities $ (4,665) $ 4,933 =============================================================== The Company considers all temporary investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of consolidated cash flows. 6. PERFORMANCE ACCELERATED RESTRICTED COMMON STOCK During the quarter ended December 31, 1993, accelerated vesting for approximately one half of the outstanding performance accelerated restricted common stock (PARS) occurred as a result of price performance of the Company's stock. Previously, these PARS shares had been vesting over a six year period. With the acceleration of vesting, additional expense relating to amortization of PARS compensation of $1,000 was recorded. Net of applicable income taxes, this charge decreased net income by $440 or $.06 per share. 8 10 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2: 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: (1) the Company's financial condition at December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1993 and (2) results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying Statements of Consolidated Income and Consolidated Cash Flows. FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND WORKING CAPITAL Cash used for operating activities was $4.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 1993. This compares to $4.9 million of cash provided from operating activities in the same period a year ago. Payments to suppliers exceeded cash received from customers compared with the same six month period a year ago. Cash flow from operations depends primarily upon generating operating income and controlling the investment in inventory and receivables. The Company has continuing programs to monitor and control these investments. During the six month period ended December 31, 1993 inventories increased, net of the effect of adopting SFAS No. 109, approximately $31.1 million. Inventories increased by $15.4 million in the same period a year ago. This increase is primarily attributed to increasing inventory levels to service the increase in sales volume. Accounts receivable decreased by $1.8 million from improved timing of collections. Working capital at December 31, 1993 was $135.5 million compared to $130.9 million at June 30, 1993. The current ratio was 2.2 at December 31, 1993 and 2.4 at June 30, 1993. CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital resources are obtained from income retained in the business, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and long-term debt, and to a lesser extent, from operating lease arrangements. Average combined short-term and long-term borrowing was $102.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1993 and $107.7 million during the year ended June 30, 1993. The average effective interest rate on the short-term borrowings for the six months ended December 31, 1993 decreased to 3.8% from an average rate of 4.0% for the year ended June 30, 1993 due to lower prevailing short-term interest rates. The Company has $90 million of short-term lines of credit with commercial banks which provide for payment of interest at various interest rate options, none of which is in excess of the banks' prime rate. The Company had $38.4 million of borrowings under these short-term bank lines of credit at December 31, 1993. Unused bank lines of credit of $51.6 million are available for future short-term financing needs. The Company has Board authorization to acquire up to 263,000 additional shares of its common stock in open market or negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions. 9 11 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management expects that capital resources provided from operations, available lines of credit and long-term debt will be sufficient to finance normal working capital needs, capital expenditure programs, and the purchase of additional Bearings, Inc. common stock. Management also believes that additional long-term debt and line-of-credit financing could be obtained if desired. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS A summary of the period-to-period changes in principal items included in the statements of consolidated income follows: Increase (Decrease) (Dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended December 31 December 31 1993 and 1992 1993 and 1992 ------------------- ----------------- Percent Percent Amount Change Amount Change ------ ------- ------ ------ Net sales $19,869 10.0% $ 30,473 7.6% Cost of sales 11,914 8.1% 18,458 6.1% Selling, distribution and administrative expenses 6,748 14.2% 9,032 9.6% Operating income 1,207 29.7% 2,983 38.9% Interest expense - net 428 39.2% 809 37.1% Income before income taxes 779 26.2% 2,174 39.6% Income taxes 177 14.6% 805 36.1% Net income 602 34.3% 1,369 42.0% THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992 Increases in sales for the quarter were primarily due to volume increases. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 26.0% to 27.3% from greater purchase discounts and allowances. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 14.2% from higher incentive costs due to the implementation of a new sales commission program for account representatives and sales management, increased advertising costs due to additional marketing programs, higher rental expense due to the leasing of a new mainframe computer and the partial vesting of performance accelerated restricted stock (PARS) based upon the price performance of the Company's common stock during the quarter. 10 12 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION Interest expense-net for the quarter increased by 39.2% as a result of the issuance of $80 million of long-term debt and the repayment of existing short-term debt. As long-term interest rates are higher than short-term interest rates, interest expense increased. The increased expense was partially offset by net interest earned under interest rate swap agreements and lower average borrowings during the quarter. Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 37.1% in the three months ended December 31, 1993 and 40.9% in the three months ended December 31, 1992. This decrease is primarily attributed to a higher tax deduction than financial statement expense for the early partial vesting of the PARS during the second quarter. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 34.3% compared to the same quarter of last year. SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992 Increases in sales for the period were principally due to volume increases. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 25.4% to 26.4% from greater purchase discounts and allowances. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 9.6% from higher 401-K contributions due to an enhancement of the 401-K plan, higher incentive costs due to the implementation of a new sales commission program for account representatives and sales management, higher rental expense due to the leasing of a new mainframe computer, and increased advertising costs due to additional marketing programs. Additionally, partial vesting of the PARS occurred based upon the price performance of the Company's common stock during the period. Interest expense - net for the period increased as a result of the issuance of $80 million of long-term debt in December of 1992 and repayment of previously existing short-term debt. As long-term interest rates are higher than short-term interest rates, interest expense increased. The increased expense was partially offset by net interest earned under interest rate swap agreements and lower average borrowings during the period. Income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 39.6% in the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 40.6% in the six months ended December 31, 1992. This decrease is primarily attributed to a higher tax deduction than financial statement expense for the early partial vesting of the PARS during the second quarter. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 42.0% compared to the same period of last year. ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY Improved operating results for the period were achieved through improvement in the level of business activity and higher gross margins. The Company has forecasted that further sales gains as compared to prior years' levels will continue to be achieved during the remainder of the fiscal year. 11 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
