NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1. Condensed Financial Statements The condensed balance sheet as of November 30, 1996 and the condensed statements of operations for the three months and six months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 and the condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at November 30, 1996 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's May 31, 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the periods ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Note 2. Inventories Inventories consist of the following: November 30, May 31, 1996 1996 ---- ---- Finished Goods $2,883,237 $2,453,691 Work in Process 79,748 38,303 Raw Materials and Supplies 468,356 143,808 ---------- ---------- $3,431,341 $2,635,802 ========== ========== -5- TOP AIR MANUFACTURING, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Sales: Net sales for the second quarter and six months ended November 30, 1996 were $1,317,629 and $3,207,748, which was a decrease of 48% and 19%, respectively, compared to sales for the same periods last year. The second quarter decrease was a result of the Company closing its facilities in Parkersburg, IA and Cedar Falls, IA and moving into the newly constructed plant in the Cedar Falls Industrial Park. The move, which was entirely completed during the second quarter, caused reduced shipments of wholegoods for a period of eight weeks. With the new facility beginning operation in the month of December, 1996, shipments rebounded to surpass the previous year by approximately $110,000. The Company feels confident that the shortfall is a temporary result of the move and the trend experienced in December will continue to increase during the third quarter. Total open orders on December 31, 1996 were $3.5 million compared to $1.5 million on the same date last year. The increased backlog is a result of a successful early order sales program for units to be delivered for the spring selling season. The decrease for the six month period was a result of the reasons mentioned above, offset by the first quarter increase from the timing of the Clay Equipment acquisition occuring on June 26, 1995. Operating Costs & Expenses: The Company's cost of goods sold for the second quarter and six months ended November 30, 1996 decreased to 71% and 70% compared to 74% and 75% for the same periods of the previous year. The decreases were a result of fixed overhead expenses being reduced during the down time of the move, the majority of the moving expenses being borne by local and federal agencies and the elimination of duplication of efforts from operating out of two facilities. Operating expenses decreased to $620,127 and increased to $1,263,742 for the second quarter and six months ended November 30, 1996 compared to $621,834 and $1,158,830 for the same periods last year. The increase for the six month period primarily resulted from incremental expenses incurred from the timing of the acquisition of Clay Equipment as mentioned above. -6- TOP AIR MANUFACTURING, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased 49% to $27,607 from $53,830 for the second quarter and 41% to $51,192 from $86,237 for the six months ended November 30, 1996. The decrease was due to lower levels of short-term and long-term debt outstanding during the period. Income Tax Expense: The income tax credits of $84,350 and $2,300 for the quarters ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 and $103,450 and $74,300 for the six months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, represent the benefit that would be received if the loss for the periods were carried back to reclaim income tax paid in prior years. Material Changes in Financial Position: The Company's loss from operations of $187,678 combined with net purchases of fixed assets of approximately $500,000, (net of depreciation), offset by an increase in trade receivables and inventories of approximately $120,000 that were funded by long-term line of credit, resulted in a decrease in working capital of $536,950. Liquidity and Capital Resources: At November 30, 1995 the Company had working capital of $3,191,840, an increase of $252,767 over a year ago and a decrease of $536,950 since May 31, 1996. The increase from a year ago is primarily a result of $249,350 of equipment that was reclassified to current assets held for sale. The increase since May 31, 1996 is described above. The current ratio decreased to 2.67 from 3.43 at May 31, 1996. The Company anticipates no significant outlays for property and equipment in the foreseeable future. The Company believes it has access to sufficient working capital for its present and foreseeable future. -7- TOP AIR MANUFACTURING, INC. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
