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 September 30, 1994 and June 30, 1994, and the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. Cost of sales for interim financial statements are computed using estimated gross profit percentages which are adjusted throughout the year based upon available information. Adjustments to actual cost are made based on the annual physical inventory and the effect of year-end inventory quantities on LIFO costs. 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 7,576 and 7,533 for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 3. BUSINESS COMBINATION On March 10, 1994, the Company acquired Mainline Industrial Distributors, Inc., a high quality applied technology distributor of drive systems, rubber products and bearings in exchange for 196 shares of Bearings, Inc. common stock. The business combination has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. The Company's reported statements of consolidated income for the quarter ended September 30, 1993 have been restated to reflect the Mainline acquisition. 6 8 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands) (Unaudited) _______________________________________________________________________________ 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 18, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.18 per share payable December 1, 1994, to shareholders of record as of November 15, 1994. This dividend is a 12.5% increase over the previous regular quarterly rate of $.16, which had been paid for 20 consecutive quarters. During October 1994, the Board of Directors awarded 90 shares of Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock (PARS) to officers and other key employees. This restricted stock award was made under the 1990 Long-Term Performance Plan. PARS plan participants are entitled to receive dividends and have voting rights on their respective shares but are restricted from selling or transferring the shares prior to vesting. The restricted stock vests after a period of six years, with accelerated vesting based upon achievement of certain return on asset objectives or minimum stock price levels. The aggregate fair market value of the restricted stock is considered unearned compensation at the time of grant and is amortized over the vesting year period or until such time as acceleration of vesting takes place. 7 9 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 September 30, 1994 and June 30, 1994 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 in operating activities was $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 1994. This compares to $2.0 million of cash used for operating activities in the same 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 three month period ended September 30, 1994 inventories increased approximately $19.2 million. This increase is primarily attributable to increasing inventory levels to service the increase in sales volume. Accounts receivable increased by $3.8 million from increased sales volume. Working capital at September 30, 1994 was $148.3 million compared to $144.6 million at June 30, 1994. The current ratio was 2.2 at September 30, 1994 and 2.4 at June 30, 1994. 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 $91.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and $103.0 million during the year ended June 30, 1994. The average effective interest rate on the short-term borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 1994 increased to 5.4% from an average rate of 4.0% for the year ended June 30, 1994 due to higher prevailing short-term interest rates. The Company has $95 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 $23.0 million of borrowings under these short-term bank lines of credit at September 30, 1994. Unused bank lines of credit of $72.0 million are available for future short-term financing needs. 8 10 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 and capital expenditure programs. 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 September 30 1994 and 1993 ------------------- Percent Amount Change ------ ------- Net sales $24,893 11.2% Cost of sales 17,954 10.8% Selling, distribution and administrative expenses 5,739 11.2% Operating income 1,200 21.6% Interest expense - net 35 2.3% Income before income taxes 1,165 28.8% Income taxes 544 33.1% Net income 621 25.9% 9 11 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------- ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION ________________________________________________________________________________ THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 AND 1993 - ---------------------------------------------- Increases in sales for the quarter were primarily due to volume increases. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 25.4% to 25.7%. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 11.2% which is consistent with the sales increase experienced during the quarter. This increase was primarily from higher commission and incentive costs related to improved performance and higher employee welfare costs due to enhancement of the 401-K plan. Additionally, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $800,000 relating to a workforce reduction in certain corporate service departments. Interest expense-net for the quarter increased by 2.3%. Higher short term interest rates were partially offset by a decrease in the amount of average borrowings outstanding during the quarter. Additionally, the benefit from our interest rate swap agreements decreased during the quarter due to the increase in short term interest rates. Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 42.0% in the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 40.6% in the three months ended September 30, 1993. The increase is attributed to the increase in Federal tax rates in the current year and an overall increase in the Company's effective Federal, State and local tax rates from non-deductible expenses. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 25.9% compared to the same quarter of last year. 10 12 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. ----------------- (a) Registrant incorporates by reference herein the description of the case captioned SAMMIE ADKINS, ET AL. VS. A. P. GREEN INDUSTRIES, INC., ET AL, Summit County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas, Case No. ACV 88-7-2398 (and related cases) found in Item 3 "Pending Legal Proceedings" contained in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. Notwithstanding possible indemnification from suppliers and insurance, Registrant believes, based upon circumstances presently known, that such cases are not material to its business or its financial condition. (b) On September 20, 1994, Dixie Bearings, Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, was served with a First Amending and Supplemental Petition in a case captioned IN RE: ROBERT LEE BICKHAM, ET AL. V. METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, ET AL., 22nd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Washington, State of Louisiana, Case Number 70,760-E, naming it as an additional defendant, along with over 50 other defendants. The action was initially filed on October 20, 1993. The petition is one for class action and claims to have been filed on behalf of 1,117 persons or heirs of persons who were allegedly exposed to asbestos-containing products while employed at the Bogalusa, Louisiana, Paper Mill and/or Box factory, currently known as Gaylord Container, Inc. Exposure is claimed to have occurred until approximately 1989. Compensatory and punitive damages are sought, but no amount is specified. Preliminary information made available to the Registrant indicates that Dixie Bearings, Incorporated has been named a defendant in this case only as a supplier of certain products manufactured by another entity, which products allegedly contained a small percentage of encapsulated asbestos fiber. The proceedings as they relate to Dixie Bearings, Incorporated are in their preliminary stages, however, the Registrant believes based upon circumstances presently known that this case is not material to its business or financial condition. The Registrant intends to defend the class allegations and the merits of each plaintiff's case vigorously. Even if liability 11 13 were assessed, the Registrant would seek to recover indemnification from its suppliers and its insurance carriers. (c) Registrant also incorporates by reference herein the description of the case captioned KING BEARING, INC. VS. CARYL EDMUND ORANGES, ET AL., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 53-42-31 found in Item 3 "Pending Legal Proceedings" contained in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. The case is now pending in the California Court of Appeal. Registrant believes that such case will have no material adverse effect on its business or financial condition. ITEM 5.

The PARS are awards of restricted shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, which shares vest six years from the date of grant. If, however, certain Registrant performance hurdles are met, the PARS will vest at an earlier date. Fifty percent of the PARS vest on reaching either a pre-tax return on assets ("ROA") of 10% or a stock price of $46.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The remaining fifty percent vest on reaching either an ROA of 12% or a stock price of $54.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days. No new stock option or PARS awards may be made to the PARS recipients until 100% of the outstanding PARS vest, either by meeting the performance hurdles or by passage of the six-year term, and in no event can new awards be made for two years following the date of award of the outstanding PARS. 13 15 ITEM 6.
