BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months and nine months and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by Coastcast Corporation (the "Company") without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at September 30, 1997, and for the periods then ended. Although the Company believes that the disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements is adequate for a fair presentation thereof, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1996 audited statements were included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the year ended December 31, 1996. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in that annual report. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ----------- ----------- Raw materials and supplies $11,630,000 $10,448,000 Tooling 434,000 294,000 Work-in-process 9,078,000 9,792,000 Finished goods 571,000 1,126,000 ----------- ----------- $21,713,000 $21,660,000 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The plan adopted in October 1993 to phase out the aerospace business was essentially completed by June 1994. The net current assets of discontinued operations as of September 30, 1997, were $864,000, 7 principally consisting of the estimated net realizable value of the Wallingford, Connecticut property including the related deferred tax asset. In connection with the offering for sale of the Wallingford, Connecticut property, the Company had an environmental assessment performed, which identified the presence of certain chemicals associated with chlorinated solvents in groundwater beneath a portion of the property. The Company is currently conducting further investigation to determine the source and extent of the contamination. The Company has recorded the net assets associated with its discontinued operations at the estimated net realizable value. However, since the precise source and extent of the contamination have not been identified at this time, no assurances can be given that the proceeds to be realized upon the sale of this property less the cost of remediation will equal or exceed the estimated net realizable value. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock options, using the treasury stock method. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which the Company will adopt in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Statement prohibits adoption during fiscal and interim periods ending prior to December 15, 1998. The Statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Statement also requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. The Company has determined that adopting SFAS No. 128 would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997. 8 COASTCAST CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales increased 5.8% to $43.9 million, and decreased 0.4% to $112.9 million, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $41.5 million and $113.3 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Increased sales of iron and putter clubheads for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, versus the comparable prior year periods were partially offset and more than offset, respectively, by decreased sales of metal wood clubheads. Gross profit decreased 2.1% and 26.0% to $9.4 million and $21.4 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, from $9.6 million and $28.9 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Gross profit margins decreased to 21.3% and 18.9% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, from 23.0% and 25.5% for the comparable prior year periods, due principally to product mix and revenue flow which were higher in iron and putter clubheads than metal wood clubheads. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 82.4% and 21.1% to $3.1 million and $8.6 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, from $1.7 million and $7.1 million for the comparable prior year periods. The increase was mainly due to expenses associated with the supplemental executive retirement plan, which became effective September 1, 1996, and increased payroll and related expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the prior year periods. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The plan adopted in October 1993 to phase out the aerospace business was essentially completed by June 1994. The net current assets of discontinued operations as of September 30, 1997, were $864,000, principally consisting of the estimated net realizable value of the Wallingford, Connecticut property including the related deferred tax asset. In connection with the offering for sale of the Wallingford, Connecticut property, the Company had an environmental assessment performed, which identified the presence of certain chemicals associated with chlorinated solvents in groundwater beneath a portion of the property. The Company is currently conducting further investigation to determine the source and extent of the contamination. The Company has recorded the net assets associated with its discontinued operations at the estimated net realizable value. However, since the precise source and extent of the contamination have not been identified at this time, no assurances can be given that the proceeds to be realized upon the sale of this property less the cost of remediation will equal or exceed the estimated net realizable value. 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and cash equivalents position at September 30, 1997, was $23.8 million compared to $14.1 million on December 31, 1996, an increase of $9.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The operating activities net cash was primarily provided by net income of $7.8 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $3.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.1 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.4 million, an increase in income taxes payable of $1.1 million, and an increase in deferred compensation of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $3.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities of $3.7 million consisted mainly of an increase in other assets of $2.1 million and $1.6 million of net capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.4 million consisted of proceeds from exercise of stock options, and non-employee director stock options. The Company has no long term debt. The Company believes that its current cash position, working capital generated from future operations and the ability to borrow should be adequate to meet its financing requirements for the foreseeable future. 10 COASTCAST CORPORATION PART II.
