K2 INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES
Accounts receivable are net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $7,072,000
at June 30, 1998 and $7,418,000 at December 31, 1997.
NOTE 3 - BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Covenants contained in the Company's $100 million credit line and accounts
receivable financing arrangement, among other things, restrict amounts
available for payment of cash dividends by the Company. As of June 30, 1998,
$18.7 million of retained earnings were free of such restrictions.
At June 30, 1998, $50 million of accounts receivable were sold, fully
utilizing the existing accounts receivable purchase facility.
NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130
establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on
the Company's net income or shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires
foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were
reported separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in other
comprehensive income.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, total comprehensive
income amounted to $7.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997, total comprehensive income amounted
to $6.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively.

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
A. COMPARATIVE SECOND QUARTER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $181.0
million from $171.5 million in the year-earlier period. Net income for the
second quarter of 1998 declined to $8.1 million, or $.49 per diluted share,
from $8.7 million, or $.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 1997.
NET SALES. In the sporting goods and other recreational products group, net
sales increased 6.8% to $121.7 million from $114.0 million in the
year-earlier period. The growth was mainly due to double digit increases in
shipments of snowboard products. The popularity of the Company's step-in
bindings and boots and strong demand for high performance snowboards has
resulted in an increase in orders in the current year. Sales of Shakespeare
fishing tackle and Stearns equipment grew at strong double digit rates.
Shakespeare fishing tackle benefited from the impact of new products recently
introduced and from demand for its core fishing tackle products. Stearns
grew based on new product sales and from a shift in customer ordering
patterns. Sales of in-line skate sales rose moderately in the quarter,
primarily driven by growth in the European market. In the US, although sales
were comparable with the prior year, retailers continued to order cautiously
to manage inventory levels and to more closely match purchases with sales
rates. Cautious buying by ski retailers after a disappointing retail ski
season has resulted in an industry-wide decline in preseason orders.
Shipments for the quarter of the Company's K2 and Olin ski products were
impacted by this condition. Sales of recreational products to the Japanese
market declined reflecting economic conditions in that market.
Net sales of the industrial products group in the second quarter rose 3.1% to
$59.3 million from $57.5 million in the prior year's quarter. The gain was
due to increased sales of monofilament products, and secondarily of composite
light poles. Sales of residential and commercial building products declined
due to competitive pricing pressures.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the second quarter of 1998 was unchanged at
$51.1 million from the year ago quarter, although as a percentage of net
sales it declined to 28.2% from 29.8%. The decline was largely due to margin
erosion from closeout sales of certain skate and bike inventories and higher
manufacturing costs and competitive pricing pressures in certain segments of
the industrial group.
COSTS AND EXPENSES. In the second quarter of 1998, selling expenses of $23.1
million, or 12.8% of net sales were comparable to the prior year's quarter of
$22.9 million, or 13.4% of net sales. General and administrative expenses for
the quarter of $12.8 million, or 7.1% of net sales were also comparable to
$12.9 million, or 7.5% of net sales, in the year-earlier period.
6
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income in the second quarter of 1998 declined
slightly to $15.1 million, or 8.3% of net sales, from $15.3 million, or 8.9%
of net sales, in the year-earlier period. The decline in percentage was
attributable to the effect of the lower gross profit percentage.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $496,000 to $3.2 million in the
second quarter of 1998 compared to the year-earlier period. Higher average
borrowings incurred to support the growth in sales increased interest expense
by $786,000, which was offset by a reduction of $290,000 of interest due to
lower interest rates.
B. COMPARATIVE SIX-MONTH RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $354.1 million
from $343.1 million in the corresponding prior-year period. Net income for
the first half of 1998 declined to $11.2 million, or $.68 per diluted share,
from $14.5 million, or $.87 per diluted share, in the first half of 1997.
NET SALES. In the sporting goods and other recreational products group, net
sales increased slightly to $238.2 million, from $235.8 million in the 1997
period. Shipments of snowboard products significantly increased due to
strong demand for performance boards and Clicker step-in bindings and boots.
Shakespeare fishing tackle products grew at a strong double digit rate from
the introduction of new Shakespeare branded products and continued gains in
core fishing tackle products. Stearns sports equipment contributed to sales
growth as a result of new products as well as continued strength of core
products. Partially offsetting these gains were lower shipments of K2
in-line skates, reflecting continued cautious ordering by retailers as they
proceed to reduce inventory levels of plastic skates (manufactured by others)
which have been high relative to retail sales levels. Sales of skis also
declined due to a disappointing retail season industry-wide. Shipments of
bikes declined during the seasonally weak first half of the year.
The industrial products group reported an 8.0% increase in sales to $115.9
million from $107.3 million. The improvement was primarily due to increased
sales of paperweaving product and cutting line in the monofilament business.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the period fell
to 26.9% from 28.4% in the year-earlier period, resulting in gross profit
declining to $95.3 million from $97.5 million a year ago. The reduction in
the gross profit percentage reflects a less than favorable sales mix of
higher margin products, margin pressures from closeout sales of certain skate
and bike inventories and higher manufacturing costs and competitive pricing
pressures in certain segments of the industrial group.
COST AND EXPENSES. Selling expenses at $45.9 million, or 13.0% of net sales
were comparable to the $45.3 million, or 13.2% of net sales in the
corresponding year-earlier period. General and administrative expenses of
$26.4 million, or 7.5% of net sales, were also comparable with the prior year
period of $26.2 million, or 7.6% of net sales.
7
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income declined 11.9% to $22.9 million, or 6.5%
of net sales, from $26.0 million, or 7.6% of net sales. The decline was
mainly attributable to the effect of the lower gross profit percentage.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $1.1 million to $6.3 million in
the first six months of 1998 compared to $5.2 million in the year-earlier
period. Higher average borrowings incurred to support the growth in sales
and new product development increased interest expense by $1.6 million, which
was offset by a reduction of $500,000 of interest due to lower interest rates.
C. FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's operating activities provided $16.2 million of cash during the
six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared with $11.3 million of cash during
the six months ended June 30, 1997. The improvement in net cash provided in
the 1998 period is attributable to a smaller seasonal buildup of accounts
receivable and inventories as compared with the prior year's period which
included a significant increase in in-line skate sales.
Net cash used for investing activities was $13.5 million in the first half of
1998, compared to $8.5 million used in the first half of 1997. The 1997
period includes $6.4 million received in connection with a one-time sale of
investments. Excluding the one-time sale, net cash used in investing
activities is consistent from year to year. There were no material
commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 1998.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million in the 1998 six month
period as compared with $9.2 million in the corresponding year ago period.
The net reduction of $5.3 million in cash used was due to an increase in
borrowing to support the growth in sales and a decrease in the repayment of
long-term borrowings.
The Company anticipates its remaining cash needs in 1998 will be provided
from operations and borrowings under existing credit lines.
D. OTHER MATTERS
The Company is currently working to resolve the potential impact of the year
2000 on the processing of date-sensitive information by the Company's
computerized information systems. The year 2000 problem is the result of
computer programs being written using two digits (rather than four) to define
the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000, which could result in miscalculation or system failures. Based on
a preliminary study, the Company's management believes that most of the
Company's information systems are Year 2000 compliant. Those systems that
are not Year 2000 compliant will be either upgraded or replaced by the end of
1998 to ensure compliance. The total anticipated cost of compliance is not
expected to be material.
