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, 1995 and June 30, 1995, and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995 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. All share and per share data have been restated to reflect a three for two stock split effective on December 4, 1995. Average shares outstanding for the computation of net income per share were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended December 31 December 31 1995 1994 1995 1994 ------------------ ---------------- 11,821 11,562 11,771 11,463 6 8 BEARINGS, INC.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS During the quarter ended September 30, 1995 the Company acquired the assets of two distributors of drive products and rubber products, for a total of $4,328. The acquisitions of these businesses were accounted for as purchases and their results of operations are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates. Results of operations for these acquisitions are not material for all periods presented. Goodwill recognized in connection with these combinations is being amortized over 15 years. 4. LONG-TERM COMMITMENT In October 1995, Prudential Insurance Company of America committed to provide funding to the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority (the Port) in connection with the Port's construction of the Company's new headquarters building in Cleveland, Ohio. The Company would be obligated for lease payments to the Port under this commitment. Alternatively, if the proceeds, totalling $15,655, are not used by the Port for construction, the Company may utilize such proceeds under a separate financing agreement for other corporate purposes or cancel as it deems appropriate. 5. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which the Company will be required to adopt for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company does not intend to change its method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company has not yet determined the pro forma disclosures for employee awards granted in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996, which will be presented in the notes to financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1997. 7 9 BEARINGS, INC.

RETIREMENT PLAN MERGER On July 1, 1995, The Bearings, Inc. Employees' Profit-Sharing Trust was merged into The Bearings, Inc 401(k) Savings Plan. The merged plan is known as The Bearings, Inc.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT On February 9, 1996 the Company exchanged 486 shares of Bearings, Inc. common stock for Engineered Sales, Inc., a distributor of hydraulic, pneumatic and electro-hydraulic components, systems and related fluid power engineering services. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's operating results. 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 the Company's: (1) financial condition at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995 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 $5.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 1995. This compares to $3.4 million of cash provided by 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 six month period ended December 31, 1995 inventories increased approximately $25.9 million to service increased sales volume and to improve customer fill rates. Accounts receivable decreased by $4.6 million. Working capital at December 31, 1995 was $151.3 million compared to $153.6 million at June 30, 1995. The current ratio was 2.1 at December 31, 1995 and 2.4 at June 30, 1995. This decrease is primarily due to a portion of long-term debt becoming current and an increase in short-term notes payable from the increase in inventory. Capital Resources - ----------------- Capital resources are obtained from income retained in the business, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit and long-term debt. Average combined short-term and long-term borrowing was $106.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and $97.9 million during the year ended June 30, 1995. The average effective interest rate on the short-term borrowings for the six months ended December 31, 1995 increased to 6.55% from an average rate of 5.9% for the year ended June 30, 1995 due to higher prevailing short-term interest rates. The Company has $110 million of short-term lines of credit with commercial banks which provide for payment of interest at various interest rate options, none of which are in excess of the banks' prime rate. The Company had $45.1 million of borrowings under these short-term bank lines of credit at December 31, 1995. Unused bank lines of credit of $64.9 million are available for future short-term financing needs. 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 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 Six Months Ended December 31 December 31 1995 and 1994 1995 and 1994 Percent Percent Amount Change Amount Change ------ ------ ------ ------ Net sales $22,021 8.8% $47,871 9.6% Cost of sales 14,376 7.7% 34,559 9.3% Selling, distribution and administrative expenses 4,099 7.4% 6,815 6.1% Operating income 3,546 46.6% 6,497 45.3% Interest expense -net 495 27.2% 960 28.5% Income before income taxes 3,051 52.8% 5,537 50.4% Income taxes 1,381 56.9% 2,502 54.2% Net income 1,670 49.8% 3,035 47.6% 10 12 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 - --------------------------------------------- Increases in sales for the quarter were primarily due to volume and price increases. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 25.3% to 26.0%. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 7.4% from higher compensation expense due to an increase in the number of associates from recent acquisitions and higher bad debt expense. Interest expense-net for the quarter increased by 27.2% from higher short-term interest rates, increased average borrowing and the amortized expense of terminating an interest rate swap agreement. During fiscal 1995, the Company terminated a two year interest rate swap agreement initiated in fiscal 1994. As of December 31, 1995 deferred interest cost of $.3 million from this termination remains to be amortized to interest expense over the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996. The Company has no outstanding swap agreements or other derivative financial instruments at December 31, 1995. Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes was 43.1% in the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 42.0% in the three months ended December 31, 1994. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 49.8% compared to the same quarter of last year. Income per share increased by 44.8% due to an increase in income and the increase in the average shares outstanding. Six Months Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 - ------------------------------------------- Increases in sales for the period were primarily due to volume and price increases. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased from 25.5% to 25.7%. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased by 6.1% from higher bad debts, higher compensation expense and hospitalization costs from an increase in the number of associates due to recent acquisitions. Interest expense-net for the period increased by 28.5% from higher short-term interest rates, increased average borrowing and the amortized expense of terminating an interest rate swap agreement. During fiscal 1995, the Company terminated a two year interest rate swap agreement initiated in fiscal 1994. As of December 31, 1995 deferred interest cost of $.3 million from this termination remains to be amortized to interest expense over the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996. The Company has no outstanding swap agreements or other derivative financial instruments at December 31, 1995. 11 13 BEARINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------- ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes was 43.1% in the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 42.0% in the six months ended December 31, 1994. As a result of the above factors, net income increased by 47.6% compared to the same period last year. Income per share increased by 42.9% due to an increase in income and the increase in the average shares outstanding. 12 14 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
