Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data))
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1998
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the Company) (formerly Leonard's Metal, Inc.) is a
fabricator, finisher, and integrator of formed, close tolerance aluminum and
specialty alloy components for use by the aerospace industry. The Company is a
Missouri corporation with headquarters in St. Charles, Missouri. The Company
maintains facilities in St. Charles, Missouri; Seattle, Washington; Tulsa,
Oklahoma; and Wichita, Kansas.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair representation
have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June
30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1997 included in the Company's
prospectus dated June 29, 1998 as filed with the SEC.
Earnings per Common Share
In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which replaced
the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have
been presented or, where appropriate, restated to conform to SFAS No. 128.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
2. Initial Public Offering
On April 27, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the filing of a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to
an initial public offering of 2,300,000 shares of the Company's unissued common
stock (345,000 additional shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option was
exercised). In connection with the initial public offering, the Company effected
a 2.29-for-one stock dividend of the Company's common stock payable June 1, 1998
to shareholders of record on May 1, 1998. All references in the accompanying
financial statements to the number of shares of common stock and per common
share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock dividend. In
addition, the Company's capital structure was changed to reflect 28,000,000
shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized.
During April 1998, the Company issued 32,900 new shares of common stock as
compensation to one of its officers, pursuant to an employment agreement, and
recorded approximately $200 of deferred compensation expense to be recognized
over the subsequent 24 months. In addition, the Company sold 98,700 shares of
common stock to one of its officers, pursuant to an employment agreement and
recorded a subscription receivable of $600 in stockholders' equity. The Company
has no compensation obligation related to this transaction.
The initial public offering of 2,300,000 shares was consummated on June 30, 1998
and all proceeds were in transit to the Company and recorded as a current asset
in Amounts due from underwriter.

=======================================
On March 31, 1998, the Company secured a $15,000 unsecured line of credit with
Magna Bank to fund various corporate needs. Interest is payable monthly based on
a quarterly cash flow leverage calculation and the LIBOR rate (7.09% at June 30,
1998). This facility matures on March 30, 2000 and requires compliance with
certain non-financial and financial covenants including minimum tangible net
worth and EBITDA requirements. The credit facility prohibits the payment of cash
dividends on common stock without Magna's prior written consent. The Company
drew upon the line in March 1998 to retire certain outstanding debt balances,
including the previous revolving line of credit ($1,281 at December 31, 1997),
demand notes to former shareholders ($250 at December 31, 1997), and the
subordinated debentures ($800 at December 31, 1997). (See Note 7 for subsequent
payoff.)
The Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB) bears interest at a variable rate, which is
based on the existing market rates for comparable outstanding tax-exempt bonds
(4.1 percent and 3.8 percent at December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998,
respectively), not to exceed 12 percent. The IRB is secured by a letter of
credit, and Magna Bank NA (Magna), which holds 100 percent participation in the
letter of credit, has a security interest in certain equipment. The bond matures
in November 2000.
During 1997, the Company executed a new 9.0 percent term note payable for $3,500
with Magna secured by certain Company-owned real estate. The term note payable
requires monthly principal and interest payments of $45, and any remaining
principal balance is due upon maturity in November 2000. The term note payable
contains certain nonfinancial and financial covenants, including leverage ratio,
current ratio, and minimum tangible net worth. All of the Company's property,
plant and equipment is pledged under the above agreement. (See Note 7 for
subsequent payoff.)
The real estate note payable with the Oklahoma Industrial Finance Authority
requires monthly principal and interest payments through May 2009 and bears
interest at the prime rate adjusted quarterly based on the last day of the
previous quarter (8.5 percent at December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998). The real
estate note payable is secured by a mortgage on the property. (See Note 7 for
subsequent payoff.)
The Company entered into various notes payable for the purchase of certain
equipment. The notes are payable in monthly installments including interest
(ranging from 8.25 percent to 9.56 percent through November 2002). The notes
payable are secured by equipment.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.
7. Subsequent Event
On July 6, 1998, the Company received the proceeds ($21,390) from the initial
public offering and retired certain outstanding debt balances, including the
term loan note payable ($3,351 at June 30, 1998) and the real estate note
payable ($416 at June 30, 1998). In addition, the Company paid down the
revolving line of credit ($2,309 at June 30, 1998). The underwriter's
over-allotment option of 345,000 shares was exercised and issued on July 14,
1998 and the Company received proceeds of approximately $3,209.
On August 11, 1998, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in
principal to acquire the assets of Precise Machine Company ("Precise"), based in
Irving, Texas. Precise manufactures precision machined components used primarily
by the defense, aerospace and financial service industries and had sales of
approximately $3 million for the year ended 1997. Terms of the sale have not
been finalized. As of June 30, 1998, Precise's unaudited financial statements
reflected net sales of $1,636 for the six months then ended.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Except for the historical information contained herein, the following report
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in the section entitled Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations.
Overview
LMI Aerospace, Inc. is a leading fabricator, finisher and integrator of formed,
close tolerance aluminum and specialty alloy components for use by the aerospace
industry. The Company has been engaged in manufacturing components for a wide
variety of aerospace applications. Components manufactured by the Company
include leading edge wing slats, flaps and lens assemblies; cockpit window frame
assemblies; fuselage skins and supports, and passenger and cargo door frames and
supports. The Company maintains multi-year contracts with leading original
equipment manufacturers and primary subcontractors of commercial, corporate,
regional and military aircraft. Such contracts, which govern virtually all of
the Company's sales, designate the Company as the sole supplier of the aerospace
components sold under the contracts. Customers include Boeing, Lockheed Martin,
Northrop Grumman, Gulfstream, Learjet, Canadair, DeHavilland and PPG. The
Company manufactures approximately 14,000 parts for integration into such models
as Boeing's 737, 747, 757, 767 and 777 commercial aircraft, Canadair's RJ
regional aircraft, Gulfstream's G-IV and G-V corporate aircraft, and Lockheed
Martin's F-16 and C-130 military aircraft.
In the second quarter of 1998, the Company executed two new contracts with
certain of its customers. The Company entered into a new 10-year contract with
the Wichita division of Boeing. The Company has a long history of component
production with the Wichita facility which now will be managed under this long
term agreement. Additionally, the Company entered into a renewal of its contract
with Lockheed Martin, extending the agreement for an additional 4 years.
Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company reached an agreement in principal to
purchase the assets of Texas based Precise Machine Company ("Precise"), a
company specializing in the manufacture of precision machined components. The
Company believes that the addition of Precise will expand its integration
capabilities to better support its customer base as well as allow it to gain
access to non-aerospace customers. This acquisition is also consistent with the
Company's strategy of locating facilities in close proximity to its customers.
Precise provides the Company with a facility near Northrop Grumman and Lockheed
Martin, customers also served by Precise.
Results of Operations - Quarter Ended June 30, 1998 compared to June 30, 1997.
Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 rose 8.9% from $14.4
million in 1997 to $15.7 million. This increase was primarily due to the
Company's participation on the 737 New Generation ("737 NG") which added $1.8
million in sales in the second quarter rising to $2.9 million from $1.1 million.
The Company's sales growth was inhibited by difficulties in production of the
leading edge wing slats produced for the 737 NG. These production difficulties
have been resolved and should result in a deferral of sales into the third and
fourth quarter of approximately $0.6 million.
Additionally, net sales on the 747 model aircraft contributed an additional $0.4
million, rising to $4.2 million from $3.8 million. Although the second quarter
of 1998 was positively impacted by the 747, Boeing recently announced a 30%
reduction in output on this model and, therefore, reductions in volume will
likely occur for the foreseeable future. With production rates declining and
scheduled to end in 2000, sales of the 737 Classic components were down $1.2
million, dropping from $2.7 million to $1.5 million.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 17.0% in the second quarter of 1998 to $4.8
million (30.8% of net sales) from $4.1 million (28.6% of net sales). This
improvement in margins was primarily due to better coverage of fixed costs
provided by the increase in sales. Certain overhead expenses increased, however,
at a slower rate than the rise in sales.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"). SG&A increased 11% in
the second quarter of 1998 to $1.8 million (11.8% of net sales) from $1.7
million (11.6% of net sales) in 1997.
Income Taxes. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 1998 was 37.5%
compared to 38.5% in 1997. This change in effective rates is due to the
recognition of state income tax credits available to the Company.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the net income rose 27.7% in the
second quarter of 1998, rising to $1.7 million from $1.4 million.
Earnings Per Share. The initial public offering had a minimal impact on the
weighted average common shares outstanding used in the earnings per share for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The 2,300,000 newly issued common stock was
outstanding for one day during the period.
Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 compared to June 30, 1997
Net Sales. Net sales increased 18.2% in the six months ended June 30, 1998,
rising from $27.1 million in 1997 to $32.0 million. Net sales increased on all
Boeing 7-series models with the exception of the 737 Classic, which Boeing is
phasing out of production. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the
Company's participation on the 737 NG aircraft which saw net sales increase $4.5
million in 1998, growing to $6.2 million from $1.7 million. The first six months
of 1998 also were aided by increased shipments on the 747, with sales growing to
$8.6 million from $7.8 million. As stated earlier, Boeing's announcement of a
production rate decrease will diminish the contribution of this model in future
quarters. The Company's net sales of components for the 737 Classic decreased
approximately $1.6 million, from $5.2 million in 1997 to $3.6 million in 1998.
Sales for Corporate/Regional aircraft during the first half of 1998, were
essentially unchanged from the comparable period in 1997, however, the Company
began shipments in June, 1998 on a new program supporting the Gulfstream G-IV
and G-V which should positively impact future quarters.
Gross Profit. Gross profit (net sales less cost of goods sold) increased 30.2%
in the first six months of 1998, from $7.4 million (27.4% of net sales) to $9.7
million (30.2% of net sales). The increase in gross profit was predominantly the
result of better coverage of fixed costs afforded by the increase in net sales.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A"). SG&A increased 18.1% in
1998, commensurate with the increase in sales, from $3.2 million (11.7% of net
sales) in 1997 to $3.7 million (11.7% of net sales). The Company's SG&A is
driven in large part by the salaries, wages, and related fringe benefits paid to
its selling and administrative employees which accounted for $0.2 million of the
increase.
Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 1998 was
38%, down from 38.5% in 1997. This reduction in effective rate is the result of
the Company's utilization of several different state income tax credits.
Net Income. The increase in net sales, improvements in gross profits and other
changes discussed above, drove net increase up for the six months 47.8% to $3.4
million in 1998 from $2.3 million.
Earnings Per Share. The initial public offering had a minimal impact on the
weighted average common shares outstanding used in the earnings per share for
the six-months ended June 30, 1998. The 2,300,000 newly issued common stock was
outstanding for one day during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
On June 30, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of
its common stock in which it sold 2,300,000 shares at $10.00 per share. Although
the IPO was completed during the second quarter, proceeds of the offering ($20.4
million after expenses of $2.6 million) were not received until July 6, 1998.
Therefore, the pending receipt of the proceeds was accounted for as a current
receivable. Immediately upon receipt of the cash from the IPO, the Company
retired term debt of $3.3 million with Magna Bank, N.A. and $0.4 million with
the Oklahoma Industrial Finance Authority. Both of these notes were secured by
real estate of the Company. Additionally, the Company used $2.4 million of the
proceeds to temporarily pay down the revolving line of credit with Magna Bank,
N.A. The Company maintains its ability to borrow up to $15 million under this
revolving line of credit. The balance of these proceeds from the IPO will be
used to fund acquisitions, working capital needs, or capital investment needs.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the underwriters informed the Company that
they were exercising their option to sell the 15% over allotment. Therefore, the
Company received an additional $3.2 million in cash for 345,000 newly issued
shares. These proceeds are not reflected in the quarterly financial statements.
The working capital needs of the Company are generally funded by cash flows from
operations. During the first six months of 1998, operating activities generated
$3.8 million of cash compared to $3.9 million in the first six months of 1997.
The growth of the Company has required a substantial investment in receivables
($1.1 million increase during 1998) and inventories ($0.8 million increase
during 1998). Cash was used to support capital expenditures and fund the
preliminary costs of the IPO.
The Company continued to invest in property, plant and equipment spending $3.2
million in 1998. In Tulsa, the Company neared completion of a 33,000 square foot
addition ($1.1 million) nearly doubling its available space to 75,000 square
feet. The Auburn facility upgraded its punching capability with the addition of
a new CNC punching machine ($0.4 million) to replace an older, slower model and
spent $0.2 million upgrading and customizing a newly leased 80,000 square foot
facility that will replace the current 45,000 square foot facility. The Company
also began expansion efforts at one of its St. Charles locations which will add
approximately 20,000 square feet ($0.1 million) and purchased another five axis
routing machine ($0.2 million) to support the 737 NG leading edge wing slat
program. Additionally, in conjunction with the Company's fourth quarter, 1997
conversion to a new software system and upgrading of several local area
networks, the Company spent $0.2 million on computer hardware, software and
training. The Company estimates it will expend an additional $1.8 million over
the balance of 1998, primarily on facility expansions.
As earlier discussed, the Company has agreed to purchase the assets of Precise
and will utilize a portion of the proceeds of the offering. This is consistent
with our stated intentions.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Sale of Unregistered Stock
