Euramax International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Thousands of U.S. Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

1.  Basis of Presentation:

 

For purposes of this report the “Company” refers to Euramax International, Inc. (“Euramax”) and Subsidiaries, collectively.

 

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the year-end Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001. Operating results for the period ended March 29, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of future results that may be expected for the year ending December 27, 2002.

 

Per share data has not been presented since such data provides no useful information, as the shares of the Company are closely held.

 

Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

For information regarding significant accounting policies, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 28, 2001, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective December 29, 2001.  Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company has completed the transitional goodwill impairment test required upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and determined that there is no impairment to its recorded goodwill balances. Had the Company been accounting for its goodwill under SFAS No. 142 for all periods presented, the Company’s net earnings (loss) would have been as follows:

4.  Long-Term Obligations:

 

Long-term obligations consisted of the following:

December 28,
2001

 

Credit Agreement:

 

 

 

 

 

Revolving Credit Facility

135,000

 

135,000

 

 

 

$

$

207,724

 

 

Effective March 15, 2002, the Company and its Lenders amended and restated the Credit Agreement (“Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to, among other items, increase the Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $110.0 million; refinance outstanding Term Loans through borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility; and extend the expiration date of the Revolving Credit Facility from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2005.

 

As of March 29, 2002, an undrawn amount of $26.0 million remained under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $15.5 million was available. The Company is subject to a commitment fee on a quarterly basis equal to 0.50% of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

At the option of the Company, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are based upon a Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate (both as defined), plus their respective margins. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for variable rate margins, determined quarterly, based upon the Company’s ratio of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to total debt. The maximum and minimum Base Rate margins are 2.00% and 1.00%, respectively. The maximum and minimum Eurocurrency Rate margins are 3.25% and 2.25%, respectively.

 

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions on actions by the Company and its subsidiaries, including certain restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including fixed

 

6



 

charge coverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio and maximum amounts of capital expenditures.

 

5.  Financial Instruments and Risk Management

 

In connection with the Company’s risk-management strategy, the Company enters into currency agreements and interest rate agreements for other than trading purposes with major financial institutions to reduce the impact of exchange rate and/or interest rate fluctuations related to debt payments. In January 2002, in connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its Pound Sterling swap for proceeds totaling $2.8 million. The gain was deferred and will be amortized over the original term of the agreement. In February 2002, the Company entered into a Pound Sterling swap (“New Pound Sterling Swap”) to replace the Pound Sterling swap terminated in January 2002. The terms of the New Pound Sterling Swap expire on June 30, 2005, and require the Company to pay 19.0 million Pound Sterling with semi-annual interest payments of 12.63% in exchange for $27.2 million with semi-annual interest payments of 11.25%. The New Pound Sterling Swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge and the effectiveness of the New Pound Sterling swap is being assessed using the hypothetical derivative method.

 

Additionally, in January 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate agreement whereby the Company pays a counterparty a fixed rate of interest of 3.715% on a notional amount of $35.0 million through December 31, 2002, $25.0 million from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, and $15.0 million from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest of 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR on an equivalent notional amount. The interest rate agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge and the effectiveness of the interest rate agreement is being assessed using the change in variable cash flows method.

 

6.  Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, it is the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

Environmental Matters

 

The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state, local and European environmental laws and regulations concerning the management of pollution and hazardous substances.

 

The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits or as a potentially responsible party in state and Federal administrative and judicial proceedings seeking contribution for costs associated with the investigation, analysis, correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various hazardous waste disposal sites. The Company continues to monitor these actions and proceedings and to vigorously defend both its own interests as well as the interests of its affiliates. The Company’s ultimate liability in connection with present and future environmental claims will depend on many factors, including its volumetric share of the waste at a given site, the remedial action required, the total cost of remediation, and the financial viability and participation of the

 

7



 

other entities that also sent waste to the site. Once it becomes probable that the Company will incur costs in connection with remediation of a site and such costs can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes or adjusts its reserve for its projected share of these costs. Based upon current law and information known to the Company concerning the size of the sites known to it, anticipated costs, their years of operations and the number of other potentially responsible parties, management believes that the Company’s potential share of the estimated aggregate liability for the costs of remedial actions and related costs and expenses are not material. In addition, the Company establishes reserves for remedial measures required from time to time at its own facilities. Management believes that the reasonably probable outcomes of these matters will not materially exceed established reserves and will not have a material impact on the future financial position, net earnings or cash flows of the Company. The Company’s reserves, expenditures and expenses for all environmental exposures were not significant for any of the dates or periods presented.

 

In connection with the acquisition of the Company from Alumax Inc. (which has since been acquired by Aluminum Company of America in May 1998, and hereafter referred to as “Alumax”) on September 25, 1996, the Company was indemnified by Alumax for substantially all of its costs, if any, related to environmental matters for occurrences arising prior to the closing date of the acquisition during the period of time it was owned directly or indirectly by Alumax. Such indemnification includes costs that may ultimately be incurred to contribute to the remediation of certain specified existing National Priorities List (“NPL”) sites for which the Company had been named a potentially responsible party under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System (“CERCLA”) as of the closing date of the acquisition, as well as certain potential costs for sites listed on state hazardous cleanup lists. With respect to all other environmental matters, Alumax’s obligations are limited to $125.0 million and expire in September 2002. However, notwithstanding the indemnity, the Company does not believe that it has any significant probable liability for environmental claims. Further, the Company believes it to be unlikely that the Company would be required to bear environmental costs in excess of its pro rata share of such costs as a potentially responsible party at any site.

10.   Supplemental Condensed Combined Financial Statements:

 

On September 25, 1996, the Company issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the “Notes”). Euramax International Limited, Euramax European Holdings Limited and Euramax European Holdings B.V. are co-obligors under the Notes (the “Co-Obligors”). Euramax International, Inc. has provided a full and unconditional guarantee of the Notes (“Parent Guarantor”). In addition, Amerimax Holdings, Inc., Amerimax Fabricated Products, Inc., Euramax International Holdings Limited and Euramax Continental Limited, holding company subsidiaries of Euramax, have provided full and unconditional guarantees of the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The following supplemental condensed combining financial statements as of March 29, 2002 and December 28, 2001, and for the quarters ended March 29, 2002 and March 30, 2001, reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of each of the Parent Guarantor, the Co-Obligors, and such combined information of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, principally the operating subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Co-Obligors and Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of Euramax and are each jointly, severally, fully, and unconditionally liable under the Notes. Separate complete financial statements of each Co–Obligor and Guarantor are not presented because management has determined that they are not material to investors.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Business Overview

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document, as well as the year-end Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001.

 

The Company is an international producer of value-added aluminum, steel, vinyl and fiberglass fabricated products, with facilities strategically located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), The Netherlands, France, and all major regions of the continental United States (“U.S.”). Euramax’s core products include specialty coated coils, aluminum recreational vehicle (“RV”) sidewalls, RV doors, farm and agricultural panels, roofing accessories, metal and vinyl raincarrying systems, soffit and fascia systems, and vinyl replacement windows. The Company’s customers include original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) such as RV, commercial panel and transportation industry manufacturers; rural contractors; home centers; manufactured housing producers; distributors; industrial and architectural contractors; and home improvement contractors.

 

Financial results for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, compared to the same period of 2001, reflect greater demand in the U.S. for raincarrying systems and accessory products from the home center industry and aluminum and steel roofing and siding from rural contractors. Additionally, for the first time since the quarter ended March 31, 2000, sales to the U.S. recreational vehicle industry exceeded the same quarter of the prior year, a positive indication that the U.S. recreational vehicle industry is beginning to recover. Results also reflect higher operating margins in the U.S., largely resulting from lower raw material costs and productivity improvements at the Helena, Arkansas paintline. These conditions contributed to increase operating earnings for the quarter ended March 29, 2002 to $8.7 million, from $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. Negatively impacting the Company’s results were declines in industrial construction in Europe and demand in Europe for products supplied to the transportation industry. Despite lower demand in these markets in the first quarter, management expects improvement in the European construction market and anticipates year-over-year net sales growth in products sold to European customers in transportation markets.

Net Sales. Net sales increased 1.3% to $133.0 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from $131.2 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. The net sales increase in the U.S. is primarily from higher sales to home centers, rural contractors and recreational vehicle manufacturers. Sales of raincarrying products and accessories increased $2.9 million or 13.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2001. Sales of aluminum and steel roofing and siding to the rural contractor market increased $2.8 million or 13.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2001. Sales to U.S. recreational vehicle manufacturers increased $1.5 million or 8.4% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2001. The Company’s U.S. subsidiaries are included in the U.S. Fabrication Segment (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Excluding a decline in reported net sales of approximately $1.9 million due to the weakening of foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, first quarter net sales in Europe decreased by approximately 8.1% compared to the same period in 2001. This decrease includes a decrease in net sales in the European Roll Coating segment and in the European Fabrication segment of 11.5% and 0.7%, respectively (see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Sales in the European Roll Coating segment declined primarily as a result of lower aluminum selling prices resulting from a 12.4% decline in the quarterly average London Metals Exchange price for aluminum.  Lower net sales also resulted from lower exports of painted coil from the U.K. due to the strength of the Pound Sterling.

19



 

Sales in the European Fabrication segment were off slightly from the quarter ended March 30, 2001, as sales from France to the European transportation industry were down 11.0%, a trend not expected to continue for the balance of 2002.

 

Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 79.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from 82.4% for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower material costs. The Company expects that the imposition of tariffs on steel products imported by certain foreign producers will result in an increase in the cost of steel raw materials purchased by the Company. While the Company expects that it will be able to increase its selling prices on steel products, no assurance to that effect can be given. Therefore, the Company is subject to the risk of margin erosion resulting from the expected increase in the cost of steel raw materials.

 

Selling and general.  Selling and general expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 10.9% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from 10.6% for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in employment costs as a result of the increase in profitability in the quarter ended March 29, 2002, as compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2001.

 

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 2.6% for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from 3.4% for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. This decrease is attributable to the adoption of SFAS 142 on December 29, 2001. Under SFAS 142 goodwill is no longer amortized. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the adoption of SFAS 142.

 

Earnings from operations. As noted above, earnings from operations in the U.S. increased to $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from a loss of $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. Earnings from operations in Europe decreased to $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 142 effective December 29, 2001, goodwill is no longer amortized. Goodwill amortization in the quarter ended March 30, 2001 was $970.6 thousand and $239.9 thousand in the U.S. and Europe, respectively. The increase in earnings from operations in the U.S. is largely attributable to higher sales, lower material costs, most notably for aluminum and steel, in addition to operational improvement at the Helena, Arkansas paintline. The decrease in earnings from operations in Europe is largely attributable to lower net sales to industrial consumers of painted aluminum and steel, a decline in sales volume in France to the transportation industry and higher general and administrative expenses.

 

Interest expense, net.  Net interest expense decreased to $5.4 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from $6.7 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower interest rates and lower outstanding indebtedness in the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

 

Other expenses, net.  Other expenses decreased to $82.1 thousand for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. In the quarter ended March

 

20



 

30, 2001, the Company recognized expense of $1.7 million as a result of the change in fair value and related costs of the Company’s derivative instruments that were not designated as hedges under SFAS 133. The Company did not recognize any expense for this reason in the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

 

Provision for income taxes. The income tax provision for the period is based on the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. The effective rate for the provision for income taxes decreased to 36.7% from 48.5% for the quarters ended March 29, 2002 and March 30, 2001, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 29, 2001. Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill is no longer amortized, eliminating the permanent difference for non-deductible goodwill. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity.  The Company’s primary liquidity needs arise from debt service incurred in connection with acquisitions and the funding of capital expenditures. The Company’s liquidity sources at March 29, 2002 include an undrawn amount of $26.0 million under its revolving credit facility, of which $15.5 million was available, and $9.2 million in cash. Effective March 15, 2002, the Company and its Lenders amended and restated the Credit Agreement to, among other items, increase the Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $110.0 million; refinance outstanding Term Loans through borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility; and extend the expiration date of the Revolving Credit Facility from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2005.

 

The Company’s leveraged financial position requires that a substantial portion of the Company’s cash flow from operations be used to pay interest on the Notes, principal and interest under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other indebtedness. Significant increases in the floating interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility would result in increased debt service requirements, which may reduce the funds available for capital expenditures and other operational needs. In addition, the Company’s leveraged position may impede its ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Further, the Company’s leveraged position may make it more vulnerable to economic downturns, may limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures, and may limit its ability to comply with restrictive financial covenants required under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

 

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is funds generated from operations, which are supplemented by borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March 29, 2002 and March 30, 2001, were $10.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2001, is primarily related to a reduction in inventory levels in the quarter ended March 30, 2001, resulting from a focused effort to reduce working capital. Working capital was at a historical low as of December 28, 2001 therefore this reduction in inventory was not duplicated in the quarter ended March 29, 2002.  Inventory levels experienced a more normal seasonal increase in the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

 

21



 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001. This decrease is the result of lower capital expenditures in the quarter ended March 29, 2002.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $15.3 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2002, from $9.4 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2001, primarily due to proceeds from the sale of the Pound Sterling swap (see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the sale of the Pound Sterling swap) and increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement as a result of working capital needs.

 

The above-noted sources are expected to provide the liquidity required, if necessary, to supplement cash from operations, although no assurance to that effect can be given.

 

Capital Expenditures.  The Company’s capital expenditures were $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2002 and March 30, 2001, respectively. Significant capital expenditures in 2002 include approximately $160.6 thousand for improvements to the paintlines in Helena, Arkansas; Corby, England; and Roermond, The Netherlands and approximately $140.7 thousand for several projects related to business expansion. Significant capital expenditures in 2001 included approximately $273.6 thousand for improvements to the paintlines in Roermond, the Netherlands and Corby, England, and approximately $1.0 million for several projects related to business expansion. The balance of capital expenditures in both periods related to purchases and upgrades of fabricating equipment.

 

The Company has made and will continue to make capital expenditures to comply with Environmental Laws. The Company estimates that its environmental capital expenditures for 2002 will approximate $450.0 thousand.

 

Working Capital Management.  Working capital was $88.6 million as of March 29, 2002, compared to $70.0 million as of December 28, 2001. The increase in working capital is largely attributable to seasonal demands of the business and a reduction of accrued interest payable.

 

Environmental Matters

 

The Company’s exposure to environmental matters has not changed significantly from the year ended December 28, 2001. For detailed information regarding environmental matters, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Risk Management” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001.

 

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:  The Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which the Company operates, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements include terminology such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” or variations of such words and similar expressions regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to: (1) statements regarding the Company’s expectation that its sources of liquidity will provide the liquidity required, if necessary, to supplement lower cash flow from operations; (2)

 

22



 

statements regarding management’s expectation for improvement in the European construction market and for year-over-year net sales growth in products sold to European customers in transportation markets; (3) statements regarding the Company’s expectation that the imposition of tariffs on steel products imported by certain foreign producers will result in an increase in the cost of steel raw materials purchased by the Company and that the Company expects that it will be able to increase its selling price on steel products; (4) statements regarding management’s expectation that the outcome of legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; and (5) statements regarding management’s belief that the Company’s potential share of the estimated aggregate liability for the costs of remedial actions and related costs and expenses at various hazardous waste disposal sites in which the Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits or as a potentially responsible party are not material and that the reasonably probably outcome of these matters will not materially exceed established reserves and will not have a material impact on the future financial position, net earnings or cash flows of the Company. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be accurate. All such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors that could cause future financial performance to differ materially and significantly from past results and from those expressed or implied in this document include, without limitation, the risks of acquisition of businesses (including limited knowledge of the businesses acquired and misrepresentations by sellers), changes in business strategy or development plans, the cyclical demand for the Company’s products, the supply and/or price of aluminum and other raw materials, currency exchange rate fluctuations, environmental regulations, availability of financing, competition, reliance on key management personnel, ability to manage growth, loss of customers, and a variety of other factors. For further information on these and other risks, see the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001, as well as the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The following discussion about the Company’s risk-management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statement. See “Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” for additional information regarding the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Company’s management of market risk from changes in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed from the year ended December 28, 2001, with the exception of the termination of the existing Pound Sterling swap and entering into the New Pound Sterling Swap and the interest rate swap (see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). For detailed information regarding the Company’s risk management, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Risk Management” and “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001.

Interest Rate Risk

 

This analysis presents the hypothetical loss in fair value and increase in interest expense of those financial instruments and derivative instruments held by the Company at March 29, 2002, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other factors remaining unchanged, a hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate, long-term debt outstanding at March 29, 2002, by approximately $5.2 million, based upon the use of a discounted cash flow model, as compared to a hypothetical decrease in fair value of approximately $5.4 million at December 28, 2001.

 

A hypothetical 10 percent increase in interest rates for one year on the Company’s variable rate financial instruments and derivative instruments would increase interest expense by approximately $465.1 thousand as calculated at March 29, 2002, compared to a hypothetical increase in interest expense of approximately $359.2 thousand as calculated at December 28, 2001.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

This analysis presents the hypothetical increase in foreign exchange loss and increase in interest expense related to those financial instruments and derivative instruments held by the Company at March 29, 2002, which are sensitive to changes in foreign currency exchange risks. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in foreign currency exchange rates would increase the Company’s foreign exchange loss by approximately $656.8 thousand for those financial instruments and derivative instruments affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, as compared to a hypothetical increase in foreign exchange loss of approximately $940.9 thousand for the year ended December 28, 2001.

 

All other factors remaining unchanged, a hypothetical 10 percent increase in foreign currency exchange rates for one year would increase interest expense by approximately $741.9 thousand as calculated at March 29, 2002, for those financial instruments and derivative instruments affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations, as compared to a hypothetical increase in interest expense of approximately $485.1 thousand as calculated at December 28, 2001.
