(formerly Custom Chrome, Inc.) (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. -6- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The last paragraph under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below under "Factors That May Affect Future Results." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales increased 6.4% to $32,297,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997 when compared to the same period of last year. Net sales increased 5% to $64,004,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1997 from $60,984,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The growth in product shipments was largely the result of higher sales levels to customers who initiated business with the Company last year, particularly in the western region of the United States. Sales growth due to price increase was not material. Sales growth was lower in the period than the Company's recent historical experience as a result of various factors including lower sales in export markets, primarily Germany, one less sales day in the current six month period when compared to the same period in the prior year and generally poor leisure motorcycling weather throughout the Eastern United States and Europe. Gross profit increased 0.9% for the three months ended July 31, 1997 when compared to the same period of last year. Gross profit decreased 4.2% to $24,168,000 from $25,216,000, for the six months ended July 31, 1997. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 38.2% and 37.8%, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1997 compared with 40.3%, and 41.3%, respectively, in the same periods of last year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the current quarter and half year results, compared to last year, is the result of sales discounts and sales price decreases responding to price competition from smaller distributors and direct selling manufacturers in non-proprietary product lines and a shift in product mix away from higher gross margin, foreign produced products to lower gross margin, domestically produced products. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.8% to $7,343,000 and 5.1% to $14,509,000, respectively for the three and six months ended July 31, 1997. These increases were principally the result of higher legal costs incurred as the result of litigation with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, higher facility costs as the result of the opening of the new distribution facilities in Dallas, Texas and Jacksonville, Florida and higher compensation costs as a result of the additional staff involved in the Company's expanded field sales representative program. These costs as a percentage of sales were 22.7% for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1997 compared to 22.4% and 22.7%, respectively, for the same periods last year. Product development expenses decreased 10.8% to $348,000 and 2.3% to $711,000, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1997. These expenses as a percentage of sales were 1.1% for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 1997 compared with 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively, for the same periods of last year. Despite the modest decrease -7- in product development expenses the Company continues to be committed to the introduction of new proprietary products. Interest expense increased $10,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1997 compared to the same period last year. Interest costs decreased 15.5% to $872,000 in the six months ended July 31, 1997. The overall decrease in interest costs was the result of lower average working capital borrowings during the six months ended July 31, 1997. The Company's effective consolidated income tax rate was 40.3% and 39.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 31, 1997 as compared with 39.9% and 40.1% in the same periods of the prior year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company maintains a $15,000,000 working capital line of credit and a $10,000,000 foreign exchange facility with a bank. The Company uses the working capital line of credit, which is subject to certain restrictions and covenants, for seasonal cash requirements, which typically peak during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, when inventories are increased in anticipation of sales in the first and second fiscal quarters. Borrowings under the working capital line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate. Under the working capital line of credit, the bank will create short term fixed borrowings at the Company's request at rates which are lower than the Bank's prime rate. As of July 31, 1997, there was $3,899,000 of outstanding short term fixed borrowings. In addition, the Company was contingently liable under letters of credit in the amount of $147,000 at July 31, 1997. On December 19, 1994 the Company issued $15,000,000 in Senior Secured Notes to a life insurance Company, which are repayable, as to principal, in five annual payments In the years 1997 to 2001. The Notes carry an interest rate of 8.01% and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Proceeds from the issuance of the Notes are being used to support the Company's working capital requirements and other corporate purposes. Net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended July 31, 1997, was $10,270,000 compared with $10,979,000 in the prior year. In the six months ended July 31, 1997, the Company made capital expenditures for equipment necessary for two new distribution centers and tooling for new products. The Company also expended $3,489,000 for the repurchase of common stock on the open market. On August 8, 1997 the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets and operations of Chrome Specialties, Inc. for $36 million in cash. The transaction is contingent upon certain closing conditions that include a government review. Chrome Specialties, Inc. is a privately held, independent, wholesale distributor of aftermarket parts and accessories for Harley-Davidson motorcycles which operations from its 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse and headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. -8- In connection with the acquisition of Chrome Specialties, the Company is entering into a $73.5 million credit agreement which will (i) provide funding for the acquistion price for Chrome Specialties, Inc., (ii) provide funding to retire the Senior Secured Notes described abve and (iii) provide the Company additional working capital borrowing ability. Borrowings under the new credit facility will initially bear interest at the London interbank Borrowing Rate plus 1 3/4%. The rate reduces as the Company reduces the initial debt level. In addition the Company must fix the rate for at least two-thirds of the borrowing by means of a swap transaction. The financing agreement will require the Copmany to achieve or maintain certain financial results or ratios, and will restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends, repurchase common stock, make further acquisitions and effect certain other transaction without the bank's consent. While the Company is presently in compliance with the financial ratios and covenants of the bank agreement, there can be no assurance that it be able to maintain such compliance. Any failure to comply with these or other requirements of the bank agreement could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, business and results of operations. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS DEPENDENCE ON, AND COMPETITION WITH, HARLEY-DAVIDSON The Company is the largest independent supplier of aftermarket parts and accessories for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The Company's past success has depended, and the Company's future growth depends, in large part on the popularity of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the continued success of Harley- Davidson in maintaining a significant market share for motorcycle sales and the number of units sold in the super heavyweight class. In particular, the Company's continued growth in earnings is in large part dependent upon continuing demand for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and upon Harley-Davidson's ability to meet such demand. In recent years, many other motorcycle manufacturers have experienced fluctuations in market share and number of units sold. If the market for new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were to decline or if the popularity of existing Harley-Davidson were to decrease, the Company's business, including earnings, could be materially adversely affected. The Company also competes with Harley-Davidson in the sale of parts and accessories for both new and used Harley-Davidson motorcycles to Harley- Davidson's franchised dealers, most of which are also customers of the Company. Harley-Davidson has substantially greater financial, marketing, manufacturing and technical resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with Harley-Davidson in the future. From time to time, the Company and Harley-Davidson have had disputes regarding alleged infringement of certain of each other's trademarks and patents, and certain litigation related thereto was settled in 1990. There can be assurance that other disputes, including those which could lead to litigation regarding trademarks, patents or other matters, will not occur in the future between the Company and Harley-Davidson. In addition, it appears that the Company's stock price has in the past and may in the future be affected by fluctuations in the price of Harley-Davidson's stock. Adverse results in any of Harley-Davidson's businesses, including its non-motorcycle businesses, could adversely affect the price of Harley-Davidson's stock, which could, in turn, adversely affect the Company's stock price. -9- COMPETITION The market for the Company's products is highly competitive. Key competitive factors in the parts and accessories aftermarket for Harley-Davidson motorcycles include the ability to promptly fill orders from inventory, the range of unique products offered and the speed and cost of product delivery. The Company's competitors include independent distributors ranging in size from small to large, and the proximity of any distributor to a particular dealer and the availability of unique products is often a competitive advantage. Accordingly, even small local distributors may be able to compete effectively against the Company. In addition, the Company competes with Harley-Davidson in the sales of parts and accessories to Harley-Davidson franchised dealers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future with small distributors or with Harley-Davidson. See also "Business Competition" above. In 1995, the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") voted to dissolve a 1954 consent decree against Harley-Davidson which, among other things, had prohibited Harley-Davidson from imposing exclusive dealing requirements upon its dealers. This consent decree was lifted pursuant to the FTC's "sunset" policy which presumes that decrees which are more than 20 years old should be eliminated. In response to extensive public comments to the FTC urging that it keep this consent decree in force, Harley-Davidson reported that it had no plans to change its dealer agreements in order to require exclusive dealings. However, there can be no assurance that Harley-Davidson will not impose such exclusive dealing requirements upon its dealers who now purchase parts and accessories from Global Motorsport Group, Inc.; nor can there be any assurance that, if Harley-Davidson decided to impose such requirements upon its dealers, that a legal challenge to prevent such an action would be successful. If Harley-Davidson is successful in imposing exclusive dealing requirements on its dealers, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL The Company's success depends, in part, upon the continued performance of the Company's Co-founder, Ignatius J. Panzica, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and other key executives, including James J. Kelly, Jr. (Executive Vice President, Finance), R. Steven Fisk (Senior Vice President, Purchasing, Operations and Product Development), Daniel Stern (Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing) and Dennis B. Navarra (Vice President, Administration). In addition, the Company's success also depends in part on the continued performance of certain other key employees. Although incentives exist for these individuals to remain with the Company, the loss of the services of any one of them could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. DEPENDENCE ON PRODUCT DELIVERY SERVICE PROVIDERS The Company's business primarily relies on its ability to deliver many small dollar value orders to numerous customers on a daily basis. The recent labor strike by employees of United Parcel Services caused the volume of shipments that the Company was able to make to decline significantly, and caused the Company to experience higher than normal shipping expenses. While the strike has been settled, and the Company is hopeful that it can recover business lost during the strike, there can be no assurance that the Company's results of future disruption in the -10- Company's ability to ship its products to customers could adversely affect sales, and increase costs, either of which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. SEASONALITY AND WEATHER The Company's net sales for its last two quarters of any particular fiscal year are generally lower than the net sales for the balance of the year. This decrease in net sales is due to a lower number of orders by dealers in anticipation of, and during, the cold weather months, during which motorcycle riding decreases relative to the warm weather months. Any such decrease has a significant impact on the Company's quarterly earnings during the last two quarters of its fiscal year because certain operating expenses remain relatively constant throughout the year. The Company seeks to mitigate this seasonality through various promotional efforts and incentives, but no assurance can be given that such seasonality will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's revenues and earnings during this period. See "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below. In addition, the Company's operating results may be negatively affected by adverse weather conditions particularly in the summer months. DEPENDENCE ON THIRD PARTY AND FOREIGN MANUFACTURING RELATIONSHIPS; TAIWANESE POLITICAL VOLATILITY A significant portion of the Company's products are purchased from third party manufacturers, often through independent trading companies. Although the Company believes it has close working relationships with its trading companies and most of its suppliers, the Company does not have long-term arrangements with these parties, and therefore, cannot be assured that products will be delivered on a timely basis or on terms favorable to the Company in the future. In addition, any disruption in the Company's trading Company or manufacturing relationships could result in supply delays. Many of the Company's suppliers are located in Asia, and, therefore, the Company is subject to certain risks associated with dealing with foreign suppliers, including currency exchange fluctuations, trade restrictions and changes in tariff and freight rates. Moreover, many of the Company's suppliers are located in Taiwan and the Company's relationships with such suppliers are subject to disruption in the event of remaining volatility in, or a worsening of, Taiwan's political and military relationship with the People's Republic of China. MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH The Company's success will depend in part on its ability to manage growth, both domestically and internationally. Such growth will require the Company to enhance its operational, management information and financial control systems. In addition, continued growth will require the Company to increase the personnel in its sales, marketing and customer support departments. If the Company is unable to successfully enhance its systems or to hire a sufficient number of employees with the appropriate levels of experience in a timely manner, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. -11- INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS In the fiscal years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995, international sales accounted for 18%, 20% and 17%, respectively, of the Company's total net sales. The Company expects that international sales will continue to represent a significant portion of its net sales in the future. The Company's results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, tariffs and difficulties in obtaining export licenses. Moreover, the Company's international sales may be adversely affected by lower sales levels that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and other parts of the world. International sales and operations are also subject to risks such as the imposition of governmental controls, political instability, trade restrictions and changes in regulatory requirements, difficulties in staffing and managing international operations, generally longer payment cycles and potential insolvency of international dealers. There can be no assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future international sales and, consequently, on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS Both federal and state authorities have various environmental control requirements relating to air, water and noise pollution that effect the business operations of the Company and Custom Chrome Manufacturing, Inc. (formerly Santee Industries, which was acquired by the Company in 1990), which in the past utilized a chrome-plating and polishing process. The Company endeavors to ensure that all its facilities comply with applicable environmental requirements, there can be no assurance that its operations do not violate such requirements or that any steps taken by the Company to remediate any former noncompliance with such requirements would not have a material effect on the Company's operations. POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company's quarterly operating results have in the past varied and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including the level of competition; the size, timing, cancellation or rescheduling of significant orders; product mix; market acceptance of new products; new product announcements or introductions by the Company or its competitors; changes in pricing by the Company or its competitors; the ability of the Company to develop, introduce and market new products and product enhancements on a timely basis; product manufacturing costs; supply constraints; levels of expenditures on product development; changes in Company strategy; personnel changes; general economic trends and other factors. In particular, because sales of the Company's nonproprietary products generally result in lower gross margins than do sales of the Company's proprietary products, changes in the mix of products sold in any quarter toward nonproprietary products will likely adversely affect gross margins. In addition, the Company has in the past offered, and may in the future offer, sales price discounts and reductions to stimulate sales volume growth. Any such discounts and reductions could have a material effect on the Company's operating results and financial condition on an annual or quarterly basis. Sales for any future quarter are not predictable with any significant degree of certainty. The Company generally operates with limited order backlog because its products typically are shipped -12- shortly after orders are received generally on the same day. As a result, product sales in any quarter are generally dependent on orders booked and shipped in that quarter. The Company's customers generally have the right to cancel order at any time and to return the Company's products for a refund, and the cancellation of orders already placed and the return of products could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results in any quarter. As a result, if sales levels are below expectations, net income may be disproportionately affected. Due to all of the foregoing factors, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. It is possible that in some future quarter the Company's operating results may be below the expectations of the public market analysts and investors. In such event, the price of the Company's Common Stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. -13- GLOBAL MOTORSPORT GROUP, INC. PART II.
