BONDED MOTORS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(NOTE A) The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies:
Bonded Motors (the Company), remanufactures automobile engines primarily for
domestic and Japanese imported cars and light trucks in the United States for
resale to automotive retailers, end users and installers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring journals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1998. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
Acquisition and Goodwill
The financial statements include the net assets of an automotive engine
remanufacturing firm (Wheeler Manufacturing of Macon, Georgia) purchased at
their fair market value on the acquisition date in August, 1997. This purchase
included manufacturing machinery and equipment, plant equipment, office
furniture, fixtures and equipment, automotive parts inventory and supplies,
and other items customarily used in the operation of a business. The excess
of acquisition costs over the fair value of net assets acquired is included in
and has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line
basis over a ten year period. The fair value of the assets acquired were as
follows:
Inventories $137,676
Plant Machinery & Equipment $317,762
Goodwill $211,880
--------
Total Purchase Cost $667,318
========

Revenue Recognition and Core Accounting
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product, net of a provision for core
returns. The Company's customers are encouraged to return their old,
rebuildable core as a credit against the identical engine purchased. The
Company identifies the returned core to the original customer invoice and
issues a credit memo equal to the core charge reflected on the original
invoice. These core returns, recorded as a reduction in net sales, were
$1,912,022 and $1,469,390 during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 respectively.
Cores returned from customers are recorded into inventory on the same basis
as the Company records purchases of cores from independent core suppliers, at
the lower of average cost or market (net realizable value). Customer core
returns provide approximately 50% of the Company's core requirements, and
independent core suppliers provide the remaining 50% of the Company's core
requirements.
Earnings per Share
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement No.128, "Earnings
per Share" (SFAS No.128), in March 1997 and effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No.128 in 1997. This
statement requires the presentation of "Basic" earnings per share which
represents net earnings divided by the weighted average shares outstanding,
excluding all common stock equivalents. A dual presentation of "Diluted"
earnings per share reflecting the dilutive effects of all common stock
equivalents is also required. Figures for 1997 have been restated for the
effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 128.
The weighted average common shares outstanding for three month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 were 3,039,000 and 3,003,000, respectively. For
purposes of diluted earnings per share, the incremental common equivalent
shares due to outstanding stock options and warrants during the years ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 were 149,000 and 108,000, respectively. No
adjustments to net income were made for the purpose of computing diluted
earnings per share.
(NOTE B) Long-Term Debt:
In January 1998, the Company entered into an amended credit agreement
(Agreement) providing for a revolving line of credit for borrowings up to
$7,500,000 through May 1, 2000. Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest
at LIBOR (5.84% at December 31, 1997) plus 2.0% or at prime (8.50% at
-7-
December 31, 1997). The choice of the interest rate is at the discretion
of the Company. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by the
Company's assets. Total amounts outstanding under the revolving line of
credit at March 31, 1998 were $5,450,808. The Company had available
borrowings under the line of credit of $2,049,192 at March 31, 1998.
The Agreement also provides for an acquisition facility for borrowings up
to $8,000,000 for a period of two years from the date of funding. This
facility is to be used for general corporate purposes and in the event
the Company enters into an acquisition in the automotive industry. Borrowings
under the credit agreement bear interest at prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus
2.25% or cost of funds plus 2.25% and are secured by the assets of the Company
and of the acquired company. The choice of the interest rate is at the
discretion of the Company. At March 31, 1998, $760,241 had been drawn
down and were outstanding under this facility. The Company had available
borrowings under this facility of $7,239,759 at March 31, 1998.
The Agreement includes various financial covenants, the more significant of
which are tangible net worth, debt coverage ratio, senior debt to tangible
net worth and quick ratio. The Company was in compliance with all such
covenants as of March 31, 1998.
(NOTE C) Income Taxes:
Income taxes for the interim periods were computed using the effective tax
rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject
to ongoing review and evaluation by management.
(NOTE D) Stockholders' Equity and Stock Options:
In April 1996, the Company completed an underwritten initial public offering
of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, at a public offering price of
$5.875 per share (the Offering). The net proceeds from the Offering of
approximately $4,436,151 were used in part to repay a portion of the Company's
debt, and the balance was used to fund working capital requirements.
In December 1995, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to
authorize 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and increase the authorized
shares of common stock to 10,000,000 shares. In connection with this
amendment, the Company effected a 3,600-for-1 common stock split.
During March 1994, the Company granted, at estimated fair market value, stock
options to two of its officers for the purchase of an ownership interest in
the Company aggregating 10%. These stock options were exercised during
December 1995 for an aggregate amount of $200,000. The payments for shares
issued pursuant to these stock options were made through the issuance of
-8-
promissory notes from these officers. The notes are secured by the
underlying shares and certain real property, bear interest at 8% and are
due on or before December 7, 2002. During 1997, one of the officers repaid
their note of $100,000.
The Company adopted a stock option plan in January 1996 which provides for the
issuance of options to employees, officers and directors of the Company to
purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock. In 1997, the
plan was amended to increase the number of shares of common stock that could
be purchased to an aggregate of 600,000 shares. In 1996, the Company issued
255,000 options with exercise prices ranging between $5.50 and $6.50, the
estimated fair market value at date of grant, with vesting periods of between
one and three years and exercise dates of between one and five years from the
date of issuance of the option. In 1997, the Company issued 185,000 with
exercise prices ranging between $8.625 and $10.00, the estimated fair market
value at date of grant, with vesting periods of between one and three years
and exercise dates of between one and five years from the date of issuance of
the option. During 1997, 34,600 options were exercised for total proceeds of
$194,900 and 7,500 options were canceled upon termination of employment by one
of the employees. In February 1998, the Company granted stock options for
70,000 shares at a price of $9.50, the estimated fair market value as of the
date of the grant, to the officers. During 1998, 2,500 options were exercised
for total proceeds of $16,250 and 10,000 options were canceled upon termination
of employment by one of the employees.
The Company also adopted a directors' plan in January 1996 which provides for
the issuance of options to outside directors of the Company to purchase up to
an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock. In 1996, 20,000 options were
issued with exercise prices of $6.50, the estimated fair market value at date
of grant. In 1997, 6,000 options were issued with exercise prices ranging
between $7.25 and $7.375, the estimated fair market value at date of grant.
During 1997, 10,000 options were canceled.
During 1996, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to purchase common stock to
the Company's underwriters on completion of the Company's initial public
offering. These warrants have exercise prices of $7.05 per share, the then
estimated fair market value, vesting over one year, with a five-year term.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $3,432,269 or
67.6% over the comparable periods a year earlier. For such three month periods
the increase was from $5,075,773 to $8,508,042. These increases are
attributable to internal growth with the Company's traditional customer base,
and the addition of Genuine Parts/NAPA, for whom the Company is now the primary
remanufactured engine suppliers. In March, 1998, the Company closed its
Harrisburg distribution center and transfer those goods to its new Albany, New
York distribution center. (its Macon, Georgia manufacturing plant was purchased
in August, 1997, its Auburn, Washington distribution center was opened in
December, 1994 , its Cincinnati, Ohio distribution center was opened in August,
1996, and its Denver, Colorado distribution center was opened in January,
1997.)
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased
$3,294,821 or 89.3% over the comparable periods a year earlier. For such
three month periods the increase was from $3,689,416 to $6,984,237. These
increases are attributable to additional costs during the recent periods in
connection with increased production. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of
net sales increased over the three month periods from 72.7% to 82.1%. The
Company believes that this increase in cost of goods sold is primarily
attributable to the labor and overhead costs associated with the expansion of
the Company's production capacity, as well as expensed start-up costs
associated with the new Macon, Georgia manufacturing facility.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 increased $218,009 or 25.2% over the comparable periods a year
earlier. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased from 17.0% to 12.7% for the comparable three month periods. These
changes are primarily attributable to higher revenues in the current three
month periods.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased
$80,561 or 15.4% over the comparable periods a year earlier.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $98,131
or 798.3% over the comparable periods a year earlier. The increase was
primarily attributable to borrowings for the three months ended March 31,
-10-
1998 due to a build up of inventory and accounts receivable, which are
attributable to sales increases and due to the acquisition of Wheeler
Manufacturing.
Pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased $182,580
or 35.6% for the three month periods from the year earlier. After tax earnings
decreased $222,826 or 52.0% for the three month periods from a year earlier,
due to the items mentioned above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's operations have been financed principally by borrowings under a
bank credit facility and cash flows from operations. At March 31, 1998, the
Company's working capital was $11,229,959.
Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended March 31,
1998 of $1,943,462 was primarily to finance an increase in accounts receivable
and inventory, due to increased sales during the period.
Net cash used by investing activities for the three month periods ended March
31, 1998 of $223,926 was primarily for the purchase of new equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1998 of $2,070,776 was primarily for the issuance of common stocks
and recent borrowings from the bank.
In January 1998, the Company entered into an amended credit agreement
(Agreement) providing for a revolving line of credit for borrowings up to
$7,500,000 through May 1, 2000. Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest
at LIBOR (5.84% at December 31, 1997) plus 2.0% or at prime (8.50% at December
31, 1997). The choice of the interest rate is at the discretion of the
Company. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured by the Company's
assets. Total amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit at March
31, 1998 were $5,450,808. The Company had available borrowings under the line
of credit of $2,049,192 at March 31, 1998.
The Agreement also provides for an acquisition facility for borrowings up to
$8,000,000 for a period of two years from the date of funding. This facility
is to be used for general corporate purposes and in the event the Company
enters into an acquisition in the automotive industry. Borrowings under the
credit agreement bear interest at prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 2.25% or cost
of funds plus 2.25% and are secured by the assets of the Company and of the
acquired company. The choice of the interest rate is at the discretion of the
Company. At March 31, 1998, $760,241 had been drawn down and were outstanding
under this facility. The Company had available borrowings under this facility
of $7,239,759 at March 31, 1998.
-11-
The Company's accounts receivable as of March 31, 1998 was $6,558,080. This
represents an increase of $2,829,550 or 75.9% over accounts receivable on
December 31, 1997, and is due to increased sales.
The Company's inventory as of March 31, 1998 was $7,817,096 which represents
an increase of $540,135 or 7.4% over inventory as of December 31, 1997. The
increase is primary attributable to the Company's increasing finished goods
inventory at all distribution centers. In addition, the Company maintains a
large inventory at its Los Angeles facility in anticipation of increased
demand for the Company's products in 1998.
In 1996 and prior years, quarterly inventory values were estimated based upon
historical values. At fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, a physical
inventory was taken and an adjustment of $447,977 to inventory valuations was
made. Because quarterly physical inventories were not taken throughout 1996,
no quarterly adjustments could be calculated.
Beginning the first quarter of 1997, physical inventories have been taken on
a quarterly basis, resulting in no significant inventory valuation adjustment
at year ended 1997. This procedure continues throughout 1998.
The Company believes that internally generated funds, the available borrowings
under its existing credit facilities and the proceeds from its initial public
offering will provide sufficient liquidity and enable it to meet its current
and foreseeable working capital requirements.
