The Company paid a total of $4,338,774 in cash and issued 83,899 shares of Class A Common Stock with a value at the time of the closings of $1,349,980 for the acquired companies. In addition, various employment, noncompetition and lease agreements were entered into. The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair market values, resulting in $4,272,000 of cost in excess of net assets acquired which has been allocated to intangible assets, primarily names and reputations. The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared assuming that the acquisitions during 1997 and 1998 occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma information is presented for information purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been made as of those dates.

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. This pronouncement requires that the accumulated total of other comprehensive income be shown as a separate component of stockholders' equity with additional disclosure of accumulated balances for each classification within other comprehensive income in addition to the reporting of total comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity previously titled "cumulative translation adjustment", consists solely of foreign currency translation. The 1997 financial statements have been restated to reflect the income tax benefit related to other comprehensive income. The components of total comprehensive income are as follows: ($ in thousands except per share data) (Unaudited) Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 1997 ---- ---- Net income $ 2,356 8 Other comprehensive income, before tax (247) (61) Income tax provision related to other comprehensive income 79 17 -------- ------- Other comprehensive income, net of tax (168) (44) -------- ------- Comprehensive income 2,188 (36) ======== ======= (5) Accounting Standards "SOP 98-5, Reporting of Start-Up Activities", will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1998. Some or all of the acquisition costs of approximately $250,000, which are included in Intangibles, net on the balance sheet, may be considered start-up activities as defined by the SOP. Management has not yet determined when it will adopt the SOP or what the effect on the Company's financial statements will be. (6) Subsequent Event Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company acquired three additional retail monument companies for approximately $3,287,000 in cash and 6,638 shares of Class A Common Stock with a value of approximately $91,000. 10Q-98-2 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Rock of Ages Corporation (the "Company") is an integrated quarrier, manufacturer, distributor and retailer of granite and products manufactured from granite. The quarry division sells granite blocks both to the manufacturing division and to outside manufacturers, as well as to distributors in Europe and Japan. The manufacturing division's principal product is granite memorials used primarily in cemeteries, although it also manufactures some specialized granite products for industrial applications. The retail division primarily sells granite memorials to the general public. In June 1997, the Company acquired the successor to Keystone Memorials, Inc. ("Keystone") and in October 1997, acquired Childs & Childs Granite Company Inc. ("C&C"), granite memorial manufacturers in Elberton, Georgia. In connection with the Keystone and C&C acquisitions, the Company acquired Southern Mausoleums, Inc., which collectively are referred to as the "Acquired Manufacturing Operations". Also in connection with the Keystone and C&C acquisitions, the Company acquired three granite quarrying companies operating quarries located in Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina and Oklahoma which are referred to as the "Acquired Quarrying Operations". In October 1997, the Company acquired the Keith Monument Company and related companies which are engaged in the retail sales of granite memorials to consumers in the State of Kentucky. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company made four more acquisitions of retail monument companies, expanding the retail presence to locations in Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio and South Dakota (the "Acquired Retailing Operations"). The following table sets forth certain operations data as a percentage of net revenues with the exception of quarrying, manufacturing and retailing gross profit, which are shown as a percentage of their respective revenues. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS DATA: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 Net Revenues: Quarrying 24.5% 29.4% 23.5% 26.4% Manufacturing 58.6% 70.6% 63.0% 73.6% Retailing 16.9% 0.0% 13.5% 0.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- Total net revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross Profit: Quarrying 49.6% 37.9% 40.7% 28.5% Manufacturing 26.9% 27.1% 23.1% 23.8% Retailing 56.4% 0.0% 57.4% 0.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- Total gross profit 37.5% 30.3% 31.8% 25.1% Selling, general & administrative expenses 19.6% 16.6% 22.4% 20.9% ----- ----- ----- ----- Income from operations 17.9% 13.7% 9.4% 4.2% Interest expense 0.3% 3.2% 0.3% 4.2% ----- ----- ----- ----- Income before provision for income taxes 17.6% 10.5% 9.1% 0.0% Provision for income taxes 5.5% 2.7% 2.9% 0.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- Net income 12.1% 7.8% 6.2% 0.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 82.5% to $23.0 million from $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The quarrying division was responsible for $1.9 million of this increase, with the existing operations reporting an increase of $.4 million and $1.5 million was attributable to the Acquired Quarrying Operations. The manufacturing division reported an increase of $4.6 million, with the existing operations reporting an increase of $.7 million, and the Acquired Manufacturing Operations reporting $3.9 million of the increase. The Acquired Retail Operations contributed an increase of $3.9 million of revenues in the quarter. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 126.3% to $8.6 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The gross profit percentage increased to 37.7% for the 1998 period from 30.3% for the 1997 period. This increase was primarily attributable to the introduction of the retailing activities which realize significantly higher margins. The quarrying gross profit increased $1.4 million to $2.8 million for the 1998 period from $1.4 million for the 1997 period. The quarrying gross profit percentage increased to 49.6% for the 1998 period from 37.9% for the 1997 period. The existing quarry operations gross profit increased $.6 million resulting from strong performance from the Barre and Bethel quarries. The Acquired Quarrying Operations gross profit increased $.8 million with continued strong results from the Salisbury and Pennsylvania quarries. The manufacturing gross profit increased $1.2 million to $3.6 million for the 1998 period from $2.4 million for the 1997 period. This increase was primarily attributable to the Acquired Manufacturing Operations. The manufacturing gross profit percentage decreased slightly to 26.9% for the 1998 period from 27.1% for the 1997 period. This decrease was the result of including the Acquired Manufacturing Operations as they operate with lower margin products. The Acquired Retailing Operations reported a $2.2 million gross profit and a 56.4% gross profit percentage for the 1998 period. These levels were adversely impacted by wet weather conditions experienced during the period which reduced the number of memorials set. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SGA expenses") for the three months ended June 30,1998 increased 114.3% to $4.5 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of net revenues, SGA expenses for the 1998 period increased to 19.6% from 16.6% in the 1997 period. The Acquired Retailing Operations primarily contributed to these increases. In addition, professional services and insurance costs have increased resulting from the increased requirements of a public company. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 decreased to $73,000 from $400,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease was the result of the retirement of all existing bank debt, with the exception of a revolving line of credit with the Royal Bank of Canada, with the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"). SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 increased 83.6% to $38.1 million from $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Quarrying revenues increased $3.5 million, of which $2.7 million was from Acquired Quarrying Operations. The remaining $.8 million increase was generated by existing quarrying operations. Manufacturing revenues increased $8.8 million primarily from Acquired Manufacturing Operations, with existing operations showing an increase of $694,000. The Acquired Retailing Operations contributed an increase of $5.1 million of revenues for the period. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased 133.2% to $12.1 million from $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Quarrying gross profit increased $703,000 from existing operations and $1.4 million from Acquired Quarrying Operations for a total of $2.1 million. The quarry gross margin percentage increased to 40.7% for the 1998 period from 28.5% for the 1997 period. This was due to the inclusion of the Acquired Quarrying Operations plus higher productivity experienced at the existing quarrying operations. Manufacturing gross profit increased $1.9 million which was totally from Acquired Manufacturing Operations. The manufacturing gross margin percentage decreased to 23.1% for the 1998 period from 23.8% for the 1997 period. This decrease was the result of including the Acquired Manufacturing Operations as they operate with lower margin products. The Acquired Retailing Operations reported a $2.9 million gross profit for the 1998 six month period. The gross profit percentage for this segment was 57.4%, primarily due to wet weather conditions during the 1998 second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased 97.4% to $8.5 million from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Existing operations accounted for $632,000 of the increase consisting of higher professional services and insurance costs plus a one time non-recurring pension charge. Acquired operations resulted in an increase of another $3.6 million. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1998 period increased to 22.4% from 20.9% for the 1997 period. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased to $131,000 from $866,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Income taxes as a percent of earnings before taxes increased to 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from 25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Projected earnings from the Acquired Retailing Operations is expected to result in a higher effective Federal tax rate in 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company considers liquidity to be adequate to meet its long and short-term cash requirements. Historically the Company has met these requirements primarily from cash generated by operating activities and periodic borrowings under commercial credit facilities. The Company's recent and pending acquisitions have increased its requirements for external sources of liquidity, and the Company anticipates that this trend will continue as it further implements its growth strategy. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million. This was the result of an increase of current payables and accrued expenses of $2.5 million, net income of $2.4 million and non-cash expenses of $1.6 million offset by increases in trade receivables of $2.0 million and inventories of $2.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million. This was the result of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $2.0 million and acquisition requirements of $4.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $141,000. The Company has entered into a financing agreement with the CIT Group/Business Credit ("CIT"). The agreement provides for an acquisition term loan line of credit of $25 million and a revolving credit facility of another $25 million. As of June 30, 1998, both credit lines were unused and available. The interest rate under these credit lines as of such date was 8.00% based on a formula of prime less .50%. As of June 30, 1998, the Company also had $1.6 million outstanding and $.8 million available under a demand revolving line of credit with the Royal Bank of Canada. The interest rate on this facility as of such date was 7.25% based on a formula of Canadian prime plus .75%. The Company's primary need for capital will be to finance acquisitions as part of its growth strategy and to maintain and improve its manufacturing, quarrying and retailing facilities. The Company has $3.0 million budgeted for capital expenditures for its quarry and manufacturing facilities in 1998. The Company believes that the combination of cash flow from operations, its existing credit facilities, and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months. ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company currently does not invest excess funds in derivative financial instruments or other market rate sensitive instruments for the purpose of managing its foreign currency exchange rate risk or for any other purpose. PART II: OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2.
