The Company estimates annual after tax profits of Chengdu Steel periodically in order to determine whether payments will be due to China Pacific Steel Limited, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary and 60% owner of Chengdu Steel, pursuant to such profit guarantee. Based on earnings to date, the estimated short- fall in after tax profits of Chengdu Steel during 1996 will result in a payment to China Pacific Steel Limited of $3,630,000 pursuant to the guarantee. The estimated payments pursuant to such guarantee are recorded as other income for the period. Such estimated guarantee payments will be adjusted periodically to reflect actual results of Chengdu Steel. 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share is calculated for each period and the shares outstanding have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the 1-for-4 reverse stock split which became effective July 9, 1996. 7. CONTINGENCIES A brokerage firm has notified the Company of a claim to additional placement fees and expenses of US$1.7 million in connection with a series of placements which were arranged by other parties. To date, no compromise has been reached with the brokerage firm and the brokerage firm has threatened litigation. Although the Company strongly believes that the claim is without merit and the Company will contest such claim vigorously, it is unable to predict the outcome of this dispute should litigation arise. -7- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MATERIAL CHANGES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $86.8 million compared to net sales of $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net sales was attributable to the Company's acquisition of a 60% interest in Chengdu Steel which was effective July 1, 1995. On a pro forma basis, net sales of Chengdu Steel for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $77.5 million. The increase in pro forma net sales was attributable to increased production capacity relating to the installation of a new blast furnace late in the second quarter of 1996 which was partially offset by temporary disruptions in operations during the installation of the new blast furnace. Cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $74.5 million as compared to $16 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to the Company's acquisition of a 60% interest in Chengdu Steel which was effective as of July 1, 1995. On a pro forma basis, cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled $64.1 million. The increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to the increase in sales resulting from commencement of operations of the new blast furnace. Pro forma gross profits decreased by 7.5% from $13.3 million (17.2% of net sales) during the period in 1995 to $12.3 million (14.2% of net sales) during 1996. The decline in profit margin during the period was attributable to costs incurred in testing the new blast furnace during pilot runs. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $5.5 million as compared to $788,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in SG&A was attributable to an increased level of corporate activities, including the acquisition and operation of Chengdu Steel. Additionally, 1995 reported SG&A reflects the reclassification of substantial SG&A ($1.6 million) relating to Sun City as discontinued operations. On a pro forma basis, SG&A increased 47% to $5.5 million (6.3% of net sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $3.75 million (4.8% of net sales) of pro forma SG&A reported by Chengdu Steel during the period in 1995. The increase in SG&A, in total and as a percentage of sales, was attributable to the anticipated increase in production and accompanying SG&A expense following installation of the new blast furnace and the temporary disruption of operations to facilitate installation of the new furnace. Other income (expense), net, during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $4.5 million. The Company reported $129,000 of other income, net, during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Other income was attributable to (1) estimated compensation of $3.6 million payable to the Company's subsidiary, China Pacific Steel Limited, based on estimated 1996 earnings of Chengdu Steel, pursuant to a letter of guarantee from Chengdu Iron and Steel Plant ("CISP") to China Pacific Steel Limited whereby CISP guaranteed after tax profits of Chengdu Steel of not less than Rmb 150 million (approximately $18 million) during 1996, and (2) the Company's allocable share of profits of $847,000 from China Pacific Construction (B.V.I.) Limited following the sale of the Company's interest in Sun City and the reduction in the Company's ownership interest in China Pacific Construction to 50%. Minority interest represents the allocable share of income or loss attributable to the 40% share of Chengdu Steel not owned by the Company during the nine months of 1996 and the 49% interest in China Pacific Construction not owned by the Company during the nine months of 1995. Net income during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $8.1 million as compared to $3.3 million during the first nine months of 1995. Pro forma net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, including results attributable to Chengdu Steel totaled $6.1 million. -8- MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $17.8 million and cash balances of $1.4 million as compared to a working capital balance of $12.1 million and a cash balance of $14.7 million at December 31, 1995. The change in cash and working capital was attributable to a combination of (I) cash flows from profitable operations (ii) the receipt of $11.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of common stock, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock during 1996 and (iii) the acquisition of various fixed assets, inventories and other expenditures to commence and support operations of a new blast furnace. At September 30, 1996, the primary obligations of the Company consisted of $5 million which remained payable to an affiliate relating to the China Steel acquisition as well as long-term debt in the amount of $6.5 million, including (I) a non-interest bearing unsecured current account with CISP in the amount of $4.2 million, (ii) 10% convertible debentures in the amount of $0.2 million, and (iii) various loans from unaffiliated third parties in the amount of $2 million. During the first nine months of 1996, the Company issued common stock, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock raising approximately $11.4 million net of offering costs. At September 30, 1996, $200,000 of convertible debentures remained outstanding and eligible for conversion into common stock. Such debentures are convertible at a price equal to the lesser of 100% of the average closing market price of the Company's common stock for the three days immediately preceding the issuance of the debentures ($4.68) or 80% of the average closing market price of the common stock for the three days preceding the conversion of the debentures. The debentures are due in November of 1997 if not previously converted. At September 30, 1996, 57.3 shares of Series C Preferred Stock remained outstanding. The Series C 7% convertible and redeemable preferred shares are convertible into common stock at a price equal to 75% of the average closing price for the common stock for the five days immediately prior to the date of notice of conversion. The Series C Preferred Shares carry a 7% annual dividend payable upon conversion or redemption. The Series C Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Company at any time after January 1, 1998. A total of 2,250 shares of Series A preferred stock (being all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares), 1,680 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (being all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares), 9,047.7 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and $600,000 of debentures were converted during the first nine months of 1996 resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 3,979,037 shares of common stock (after giving effect to a 1-for-4 reverse stock split effective July 9, 1996). Other than the foregoing, the Company has no sources of available capital or commitments to provide additional capital. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital resources to fund its current operations for the foreseeable future. -9- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
