AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: On September 26, 2001, SunSource Inc. (the "Company" or "SunSource") was acquired by Allied Capital Corporation ("Allied Capital"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 18, 2001, certain members of management and other stockholders continued as stockholders of the Company after the merger. The total transaction value was $74,027, consisting of the cash purchase price paid for the outstanding common stock of the Company aggregating $71,494 and management's common shares valued at $2,533. The Company survived the merger as an independently managed, privately held portfolio company of Allied Capital. The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and its related Statements of Operations, Cash flows and Changes in Stockholders' equity for the periods presented as of and prior to September 30, 2001 are referenced herein as the predecessor financial statements (the "Predecessor"or "Predecessor Financial Statements"). The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2001 and its related Statement of Operation, Cash Flow and Changes in Stockholders' Equity for the period presented at inception of the Merger Transaction are referenced herein as the successor financial statements(the "Successor"or "Sucessor Financial Statements"). The Successor Financial Statements include the effects of the Company's debt refinancing and sale of an operating subsidiary completed subsequent to the Merger Transaction (see allocation of the purchase price below and reference Notes 3 and 4 for information related to these events). The Company's final two business days of operation in September 2001 are immaterial for separate presentation. Accordingly, the Successor presentation is limited to the debt refinancing and sale of an operating subsidiary. The accompanying Predecessor Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, principally The Hillman Group, Inc. (the "Hillman Group" or "Hillman"), and SunSource Technology Services Company, L.L.C. ("Technology Services" or "STS"), and includes an investment trust, SunSource Capital Trust (the "Trust"). The accompanying Successor Financial Statements at inception of the Merger Transaction consist of the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including primarily the Hillman Group and the Trust. The Company also has an investment in an affiliate, G-C Sun Holdings, L.P., operating as Kar Products. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying Successor Financial Statements reflect the allocation of the aggregate purchase price of $74,027 to the assets and liabilities of SunSource based on fair values at the date of the merger in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion #16, Accounting for Business Combinations for transactions initiated prior to June 30, 2001. The following table reconciles the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities to the total purchase price: Accounts Receivable $ 60,704 Inventory 77,430 Property and equipment 59,321 Goodwill 108,060 Intangible assets 12,924 Other current assets 31,322 Other non-current assets 41,899 ------ Total assets acquired $ 391,660 Less: Liabilities assumed 215,561 Guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the Company's junior subordinated debentures 102,072 ------- Total Assumed Liabilities 317,633 --------- Total Purchase Price $ 74,027 =========
Page 9 of 31 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED The total liabilities include transaction related costs aggregating $4,723 which were associated with Allied Capital's purchase of the Company and assumed by the Company in accordance with push down accounting. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated net sales and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000, assume that the acquisition of SunSource, its subsequent refinancing and the acquisitions and dispostions described in Note 3 were consummated on January 1, 2000:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes are unaudited; however, in management's opinion all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, operations and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. Certain information in note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q requirements although the Company believes that disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000; Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2001; the proxy statement dated August 28, 2001 related to the Merger Transaction; Form 8-K, Report of Unscheduled Material Events, filed on June 21, 2001; Form 8-K, Report of Change in Control of Registrant filed on October 10, 2001; and Form 8-K, Report of Disposition of Assets filed on October 15, 2001. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: In December 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved management's plan to dispose of the glass business, Harding Glass, Inc. ("Harding"). In December 2000, the Company's Board of Directors also approved management's plan to liquidate the Company's Integrated Supply - Mexico business (the "Mexican segment"). Accordingly, Harding and the Mexican business segments have been accounted for as discontinued operations with their respective results of operations segregated from results of the Company's ongoing businesses including restatement of the prior periods presented. On April 13, 2000, the Company consummated the sale of Harding. The liquidation of the Mexican Segment was substantially completed as of June 30, 2001.

Page 11 of 31 SUNSOURCE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, CONTINUED: No additional loss on disposal of the discontinued segments has been recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had net assets held for sale of the discontinued operations of $407 consisting of receivables, prepaid assets, and property and equipment, and accrued liabilities of $1,413, which consists primarily of severance and other termination-related liabilities. INVENTORIES Inventories consisting predominantly of finished goods are valued at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined principally on the first-in, first-out method. 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 established accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, and requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137, which deferred the implementation of SFAS 133. The Company adopted SFAS 133 during the first quarter of 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations because the Company generally does not engage in derivative transactions. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). FAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method, and the use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited for business combi-nations initiated after June 30, 2001. FAS 141 also establishes criteria for the separate recognition of intangible assets acquired in a business combination. FAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be subject to periodic testing for impairment. FAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application permitted only in specified circumstances. Management is currently evaluating the expected impact of FAS 141 and FAS 142. At the end of June 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. FAS 143 requires that obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recorded as a liability when those obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially measured at fair value. FAS 143 will be effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the expected impact of FAS 143. FAS 144 supersedes FAS 121, accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed OF, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Page 12 of 31 SUNSOURCE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED: Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. FAS 144 was necessary to resolve significant implementation issues related to SFAS 121. Although the proposed statement supercedes FAS No. 121, it retains the fundamental measurement provisions for assets that are to be disposed of by sale. Additionally, FAS 144 retains the basic provisions of APB 30 for the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a business. The provisions of FAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the expected impact of FAS 144. 3. CONTRIBUTION OF SUBSIDIARIES/ACQUISITIONS/DIVESTITURES: On September 28, 2001 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Technology Services subsidiary. The sales price aggregated $25,546 in cash and preferred stock, subject to post-closing adjustments, plus the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer. The sale of assets resulted in no gain or loss on the sale transaction because the assets and liabilities of Technology Services were recorded at fair value in conjunction with the Merger Transaction. As of September 30, 2001, the Company's consolidated balance sheet includes $5,000 in other investments related to the Company's investment in the preferred stock of the buyer of the Technology Services business. The cash proceeds from the sale will be distributed to Allied Capital and certain members of management, who are the remaining shareholders of the Company. In December 2000, the Board approved a plan to liquidate the Mexican segment which provided comprehensive inventory management services of maintenance, repair and operating materials to large manufacturing plants in Mexico. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on liquidation of approximately $4,572 representing non-cash charges for accumulated translation losses, the write-down of inventories and other assets, and other liquidation-related costs. The liquidation process was substantially completed as of June 30, 2001. On November 3, 2000, the Company's Hillman Group purchased inventory and other assets of the Sharon-Philstone division of Pawtucket Fasteners, L.P. of Rhode Island. Hillman assumed the sales and servicing of the Sharon-Philstone division, distributors of fasteners to the retail hardware marketplace with annual sales of approximately $14,000 for the twelve-month period prior to acquisition. The purchase price was $5,460 for inventory and other assets including certain post-closing adjustments. On April l3, 2000, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Harding for a cash purchase price of $30,592 plus the assumption by the buyer of certain liabilities aggregating $12,693, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

The aggregate consideration for the transaction was $111,537, including transaction costs of $1,537, plus the assumption of certain liabilities aggregating $14,018. The Hillman Group recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of $48,259 related to this acquisition. Axxess' sales aggregated $19,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, and its results of operations are included in the results of the Hillman Group from the date of acquisition. On March 2, 2000, the Company contributed the interests in its Kar Products, Inc. and A & H Bolt & Nut Company Limited operations (collectively, "Kar" or the "Kar Products" business) to a newly-formed partnership affiliated with Glencoe Capital, L.L.C. ("Glencoe"). Glencoe contributed cash equity to the new partnership, G-C Sun Holdings, L.P. ("G-C"). The Company received $105,000 in cash proceeds from the transaction through repayment of assumed debt by G-C and retained a minority ownership in G-C. Affiliates of Glencoe hold a controlling interest in G-C. SunSource recorded a pre-tax gain on the transaction of approximately $49,115 in the first quarter of 2000. Sales from Kar aggregated $22,122 from January 1, 2000 to March 2, 2000. On October 4, 2000, the Company's Kar Products affiliate through the partnership formed with Glencoe Capital acquired all of the outstanding stock of Brampton Fastener Co. Limited, d/b/a Brafasco, based in Toronto, Canada. G-C purchased the outstanding stock of Brafasco for cash and notes. Brafasco is a supplier of maintenance and repair products serving primarily industrial customers. Brafasco had sales of $28,534 ($CDN) for the year ended December 31, 2000. As a result of this transaction, the Company holds a 44% ownership in the Kar Products affiliate. The Company accounts for its investment in the partnership under the equity method. Prior to the Merger Transaction, the Company had an investment in G-C of $2,207.

The new credit agreement has a five-year term for the Revolver and Term Loan A and a seven-year term for the Term Loan B (the "Credit Agreement"). The Hillman Group is the borrower (the "Borrower") under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides borrowings at interest rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rates (the "LIBOR") plus a margin of between 3.25% and 3.75% (the "LIBOR Margin"), or prime (the "Base Rate") plus a margin of between 2.0% and 2.5% (the "Base Rate Margin"). In accordance with the Credit Agreement, letter of credit commitment fees are based on the average daily face amount of each outstanding letter of credit multiplied by three and one quarter percent (3.25%) per annum. Page 14 of 31 SUNSOURCE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 4. LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT, CONTINUED: As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $8,709 available under the Revolver.

The Credit Agreement, among other provisions, contains financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specific coverage ratios and levels of financial position, restricts the incurrence of additional debt, and the sale of assets, and permits acquisitions with the consent of the lenders. If the Company sells a significant amount of assets as defined in the Credit Agreement, it must make a repayment in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale. Such repayments shall be applied to the Term Loans and at any time after the Term Loans have been prepaid in full, such repayments shall then be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver. Accounts payable includes $6,963 representing checks issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2001, for which funds would have been drawn against the Company's revolving credit facility if they had been presented on that date. On April 7, 2000, in connection with the acquisition of Axxess, the Company issued a $12,000 unsecured subordinated note. In connection with the sale of Harding on April 13, 2000, the Company repaid $9,600 of this unsecured subordinated note and the balance of $2,400 was repaid on April 6, 2001 along with accrued interest of $385.

CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED: Certain other legal proceedings are pending which are either in the ordinary course of business or incidental to the Company's business. Those legal proceedings incidental to the business of the Company are generally not covered by insurance or other indemnity.

Page 17 of 31 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. GENERAL On September 26, 2001, SunSource Inc. (the "Company" or "SunSource") was acquired by Allied Capital Corporation ("Allied Capital"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 18, 2001, certain members of management and other stockholders continued as stockholders of the Company after the merger. The total transaction value was approximately $74.0 million, consisting of the cash purchase price paid for the outstanding common stock of the Company aggregating approximately $71.5 million and management's common shares valued at approximately $2.5 million. The Company survived the merger as an independently managed, privately held portfolio company of Allied Capital. The Company's operations for the periods presented prior to September 30, 2001 are referenced herein as the predecessor operations (the "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Operations"). The Company's operations for the period presented at inception of the Merger Transaction are referenced herein as the successor operations (the "Successor" or "Successor Operations") and include the effects of the Company's debt refinancing and sale of an operating subsidiary completed subsequent to the Merger Transaction (see Financing Arrangements and Acquisitions/Divestitures below). The Company's final two business days of operation in September 2001 are immaterial for separate presentation and have been reflected in the Predecessor Operations. SunSource is one of the largest providers of value-added services and products to retail markets in North America. The Company is organized as a single business segment which is The Hillman Group, Inc.(the "Hillman Group" or "Hillman"). Also, the Company has a minority investment in an affiliate, G-C Sun Holdings, L.P., operating as Kar Products. The Hillman Group provides merchandising services and products, such as, fasteners and related hardware items, key duplication equipment, keys and related accessories and identification equipment and items to retail outlets, primarily hardware stores, home centers and mass merchants. Kar Products offers personalized inventory management systems of maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO") products to industrial manufacturing customers and maintenance and repair facilities. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS On September 28, 2001, the Company through its Hillman Group subsidiary refinanced its $115 million bank revolving credit and $21.5 million term loan with $105 million in senior secured credit facilities (the "Refinancing"). The new senior debt arrangement has a $50 million revolving credit line and a $20 million term loan that expires on September 27, 2006 and a $35 million term loan that expires on September 27, 2008. On December 28, 2000, the Company issued $30 million of unsecured subordinated notes which was amended on September 28, 2001 to increase the existing subordinated debenture to $40 million (the "Amended Subordinated Debt Issuance"). The majority of the cash proceeds generated from the Amended Subordinated Debt Issuance were used to repay at a discount the unsecured subordinated note issued in connection with the acquisition of Axxess on April 7, 2000 (the "Axxess Subordinated Note Repayment"). Page 18 of 31 ACQUISITIONS/DIVESTITURES On September 28, 2001 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Technology Services business. The sales price aggregated $25.5 million in cash and preferred stock, subject to post-closing adjustments, plus the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer. In December 2000, the Board approved a plan to liquidate the Mexican segment which provided comprehensive inventory management services of MRO materials to large manufacturing plants in Mexico. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on liquidation of approximately $4.6 million representing non-cash charges for accumulated translation losses, the write-down of inventories and other assets, and other liquidation-related costs. The liquidation process was substantially completed as of June 30, 2001. No additional loss on disposal was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. On November 3, 2000, the Company's Hillman Group purchased inventory and other assets of the Sharon-Philstone division of Pawtucket Fasteners, L.P. of Rhode Island. Hillman assumed the sales and servicing of the Sharon-Philstone division, distributors of fasteners to the retail hardware marketplace with annual sales of approximately $14 million for the twelve months ended prior to the acquisition. The purchase price was $5.5 million for inventory and other assets including certain post-closing adjustments. In December 1999, the Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of the Company's Harding business. Since December 1999, Harding has been accounted for as a discontinued operation and, accordingly, its results of operations were segregated from results of the Company's ongoing businesses including restatement of prior periods presented. Through December 31, 2000, the Company had recorded a loss on the discontinued Harding segment of $22.0 million in the aggregate, net of tax benefits. No additional loss on disposal has been recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. On April 13, 2000, the Company completed the sale of its Harding Glass, Inc. ("Harding") subsidiary to VVP America. The Company sold substantially all of the assets of Harding for a cash purchase price of $30.6 million plus the assumption by the buyer of certain liabilities aggregating $12.7 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Proceeds from the sale of Harding were used to repay the Company's outstanding debt. Harding sales aggregated $28.0 million from January 1, 2000 through April 12, 2000. On April 7, 2000, the Company acquired Axxess Technologies, Inc. ("Axxess") a Tempe, Arizona manufacturer of key duplication and identification systems. The transaction was structured as a purchase of 100% of the stock of the privately held company and repayment of outstanding Axxess debt in exchange for $87 million in cash and $23 million in subordinated notes. Axxess sales aggregated $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Axxess results of operations are included in the results of Hillman from the date of acquisition. Page 19 of 31 On March 2, 2000, the Company contributed the interests in its Kar Products, Inc. and A & H Bolt & Nut Company Limited operations (collectively, the Kar business), to a newly-formed partnership affiliated with Glencoe Capital, L.L.C. ("Glencoe"). Glencoe assumed debt by G-C and retained a minority ownership in G-C. Affiliates of Glencoe hold a controlling interest in G-C. SunSource recorded a pre-tax gain on the transaction of approximately $49.1 million in the first quarter of 2000. SunSource accounts for its investment in the partnership under the equity method. On October 4, 2000, SunSource's Kar Products affiliate, through the partnership formed with Glencoe Capital, acquired all of the outstanding stock of Brampton Fastener Co. Limited, d/b/a Brafasco, a supplier of maintenance and repair products to industrial customers based in Toronto, Canada. Brafasco had sales of $28.5 million ($CDN) for the year ended December 31, 2000. As a result of this transaction, the Company holds a 44% ownership in the Kar Products affiliate.

Page 21 of 31 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000 - (PREDECESSOR) Net sales from ongoing operations decreased $1.3 million or 1.2% in the third quarter of 2001 to $114.8 million from $116.1 million in 2000. Sales variances by business segment are as follows:
SALES INCREASE (DECREASE) ------------------------- AMOUNT % ------ --- (In thousands) Hillman Group $ 5,599 9.2 % Technology Services (6,943) (12,5)% ------- Total Company - Ongoing Operations $(1,344) (1.2)% =======
The Hillman Group's sales increased $5.6 million, or 9.2% in the third quarter of 2001 to $66.4 million from $60.8 million in the third quarter of 2001 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Sharon-Philstone and strong sales from national accounts. Technology Services' sales decreased $6.9 million or 12.5% in the third quarter of 2001 to $48.4 million from $55.3 million in 2000 mainly as a result of soft market conditions experienced by original equipment manufacturers in certain industrial sectors in the third quarter of 2001. The Company's sales backlog on a consolidated basis from ongoing operations was $51.5 million as of September 30, 2001, compared with $48.6 million at December 31, 2000, representing an increase of 6.0%. The Company's consolidated gross margin from ongoing operations was 42.9% in the third quarter of 2001 compared with 40.8% in the third quarter of 2000. The Hillman Group's gross margin decreased 0.3% in the comparison period as a result of a shift in sales mix. Technology Services' gross margin of 24.4% in the third quarter of 2001 increased from 23.4% in the third quarter of 2000 primarily as a result of a change in sales mix. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") from ongoing operations decreased $0.6 million from $38.9 million in the third quarter of 2000 to $38.3 million in the third quarter of 2001. Selling expenses decreased $0.3 million primarily as a result of headcount and travel expense reductions at STS. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $0.7 million as a result of increased freight and labor costs from new business offset by reduced property taxes at the Hillman Group. General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million primarily as a result of reduced professional fees at Hillman, headcount reductions which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2000 at STS and reduced corporate expenses. Total S,G&A expenses from ongoing operations on a comparable basis, including Axxess, as a percentage of sales compared with the third quarter of 2000 are as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPT. 30, ---------------------------- AS OF A % OF SALES 2001 2000 ------------------ ---- ---- Selling Expenses 17.8% 17.8% Warehouse and Delivery Expenses 7.8% 7.1% General and Administrative Expenses 7.8% 8.6% ----- ----- Total S,G&A Expenses 33.4% 33.5% ====== =====
EBITDA from ongoing operations after corporate expenses for the third quarter of 2001 was $10.9 million compared with $9.0 million for the same prior-year period, representing an increase of 21.3%. Page 22 of 31 The Company's consolidated operating profit margin (EBITDA as a percentage of sales) after corporate expenses increased to 9.5% in the third quarter of 2001 compared with 7.8% in the third quarter of 2000. The Hillman Group's operating profit margin increased to 20.0% in the third quarter comparison period from 19.4% primarily as a result of price increases, operational efficiencies and integration of the Axxess acquisition. STS had a loss of 1.9% in the third quarter compared to an operating loss of 2.6% in the third quarter of 2000. Reduced sales at STS were offset by improved gross margins as a result of a change in sales mix and a reduction in operating expenses. Depreciation expense increased $0.6 million to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2001 from $2.9 million in the same quarter of 2000 primarily as a result of an increase in the depreciable fixed asset base in connection with the production of new key duplication machines at the Hillman Group for national accounts. Amortization expense was comparable in the third quarter comparison period. Interest expense, net was slightly lower in the third quarter of 2001 from the comparison period primarily as a result of reduced interest payments on capital lease obligations at STS. The Company pays interest to the Trust on the Junior Subordinated Debentures underlying the Trust Preferred Securities at the rate of 11.6% per annum on their face amount of $105.4 million, or $12.2 million per annum in the aggregate. The Trust distributes an equivalent amount to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities. For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company paid $3.1 million in interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, equivalent to the amounts distributed by the Trust on the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on its domestic operations and foreign income taxes on its Canadian operation as accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes represent differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as classified on the Company's balance sheet. The Company recorded a tax benefit for income taxes of $0.6 million on pre-tax income of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2001. The Company's third quarter tax benefit includes an adjustment totaling $0.7 million for additional federal and state tax benefits related to the year 2000. Excluding this adjustment, the Company's tax provision would have been approximately $0.1 million or 3.7% of pretax income. The effective rate in the third quarter of 2001 has been reduced due primarily to adjustments to non-deductible items. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2000 primarily as a result of non-deductible items related to the acquisition of Axxess. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000 - (PREDECESSOR) Net sales from ongoing operations increased $4.4 million or 1.3% in the first nine months of 2001 to $341.3 million from $336.9 million in 2000. Sales variances by business segment are as follows:
SALES INCREASE (DECREASE) ------------------------- AMOUNT % ------ --- (In thousands) Hillman Group $ 30,230 19.0 % Technology Services (25,870) (14.5)% -------- Total Company - Ongoing Operations $ 4,360 1.3 % =========
Page 23 of 31 The Hillman Group's sales increased $30.2 million in the first nine months of 2001 to $188.7 million from $158.5 million in the first nine months of 2000 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Axxess and Sharon Philstone, and strong sales from the national accounts. On a pro forma basis including Axxess, the Hillman Group's sales increased 6.1% in the first nine months of 2001 over the same prior-year period. Technology Services' sales decreased $25.9 million or 14.5% in the first nine months of 2001 to $152.5 million from $178.4 million in the same 2000 period, mainly as a result of soft market conditions experienced by original equipment manufacturers in certain industrial sectors in the first nine months of 2001. The Company's consolidated gross margin from ongoing operations was 42.1% in the first nine months of 2001 compared with 38.6% in the first nine months of 2000. On a comparable basis, including Axxess, the consolidated gross margin from ongoing operations was 39.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Hillman Group's gross margin improved 1.0% in the comparison period as a result of higher margin sales of keys and identification items related to the acquisition of Axxess, price increases for certain fastener products and productivity gains in the various manufacturing operations. Technology Services' gross margin of 24.3% in the first nine months of 2001 increased slightly from 23.6% in the first nine months of 2000 primarily as a result of a change in sales mix. The Company's S,G&A expenses from ongoing operations on a comparable basis, including Axxess, decreased $5.4 million from $118.8 million in the first nine months of 2000 to $113.4 million in the first nine months of 2001. Selling expenses on a comparable basis, including Axxess, decreased $2.1 million primarily as a result of headcount and travel expense reductions at STS offset by conversion costs associated with the Hillman Group's purchase of inventory and other assets of Sharon-Philstone. Warehouse and delivery expenses on a comparable basis, including Axxess, increased by $0.1 million. Higher labor costs from new business and increased rent expense from a new facility offset reduced property taxes at the Hillman Group. General and administrative expenses on a comparable basis, including Axxess, decreased by $3.4 million primarily as a result of headcount reductions which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2000 at STS and reduced corporate expenses. Total S,G&A expenses from ongoing operations on a comparable basis, including Axxess, as a percentage of sales compared with the first nine months of 2000 are as follows:
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------------- AS OF A % OF SALES 2001 2000 ------------------ ---- ---- Selling Expenses 18.3% 18.0% Warehouse and Delivery Expenses 7.3% 7.0% General and Administrative Expenses 7.6% 8.3% ----- ----- Total S,G&A Expenses 33.2% 33.3% ====== =====
EBITDA from ongoing operations for the first nine months of 2001 was $30.8 million including Axxess and corporate expenses compared with $24.2 million on a pro forma basis including Axxess and corporate expenses for the first nine months of 2000 or an increase of 27.2%. The Company's consolidated operating profit margin for ongoing operations (EBITDA as a percentage of sales) after corporate expenses increased to 9.0% in the first nine months of 2001 compared with 6.0% in the first nine months of 2000. The Hillman Group's operating profit margin increased to 18.5% in the first nine months of 2001 compared with 16.1% primarily as a result of the acquisition of Axxess and operational efficiencies. STS had an operating loss of 0.8% in the first nine months 2001 which was comparable to the same prior-year period. Page 24 of 31 Depreciation expense increased $3.1 million to $9.6 million in the first nine months of 2001 from $6.5 million in the same period of 2000 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Axxess. Amortization expense increased $0.5 million to $2.9 million as a result of the acquisition of Axxess. Interest expense, net increased $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2001 from $8.4 million in the first nine months of 2000, primarily as a result of additional interest and related amortization of deferred financing fees in connection with the Company's December 2000 issuance of $30.0 million of unsecured subordinated notes. The Company pays interest to the Trust on the Junior Subordinated Debentures underlying the Trust Preferred Securities at the rate of 11.6% per annum on their face amount of $105.4 million, or $12.2 million per annum in the aggregate. The Trust distributes an equivalent amount to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company paid $9.1 million in interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures, equivalent to the amounts distributed by the Trust on the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.2 million on a pre-tax loss of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of non-deductible goodwill and other items related to acquisition and divestiture activities. The Company's effective tax rate was 11.1% in the first nine months of 2000 due primarily to a significant portion of the gain from the contribution of Kar being non-taxable as a result of the Company's remaining ownership in G-C, offset by non-deductible items related to the acquisition of Axxess. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash position of $19.7 million as of September 30, 2001, increased $16.9 million from the balance at December 31, 2000. Cash was provided during this period primarily from new senior credit facilities ($90.1 million), an increase in unsecured subordinated debentures ($10.0 million), proceeds from the sale of STS ($17.1 million) and proceeds from the liquidation of the Mexico segment ($1.6 million). Cash was used during this period predominantly for the repayment of the revolving credit line and term loan balances as a result of the Refinancing ($57.6 million), the Axxess Subordinated Note Repayment ($11.6 million), Refinancing and Merger Transaction fees and expenses ($9.2 million), working capital investments in operations ($4.8 million), capital expenditures and construction in process ($12.2 million), long-term investments ($3.4 million), costs associated with the sale and liquidation of discontinued operations ($1.2 million), and other items, net ($1.9 million). The Company's net interest coverage ratio from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased to 1.0X (earnings before interest, distributions on trust preferred securities and income taxes, excluding non-recurring events, over net interest expense and distributions on trust preferred securities), from 0.8X in the 2000 comparison period (including Kar for the first two months of 2000) as a result of increased earnings. Page 25 of 31 The Company's working capital position of $77.2 million at September 30, 2001, represents an increase of $0.3 million from the December 31, 2000 level of $76.9 million as a result of reinvestment in working capital of $18.7 million, proceeds from the sale of STS of $17.1 million and repayment of the current portion of subordinated notes of $2.8 million, offset by a decrease due to the sale of STS's working capital of $28.2 million, an increase in current term loans payable of $3.1 million, a decrease in deferred tax assets and liabilities of $2.6 million, a decrease in restricted cash used for deferred compensation funding of $3.6 million and other items net, of $0.8 million. The Company's current ratio increased to 2.5x at September 30, 2001 from 1.9x at December 31, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had $8.7 million available under its secured credit facilities. The Company had approximately $90.5 million of outstanding debt at September 30, 2001, consisting of $55 million in term loans, $35.1 million in revolving credit borrowings and $0.4 million in capitalized lease obligations. The term loans consisted of a $35 million Term B Loan (the "Term Loan B") currently at a three (3) month LIBOR rate of 6.19% and a $20.0 million Term A loan (the "Term Loan A") currently at a three (3) month LIBOR rate of 5.69%. The revolver borrowings (the "Revolver") consist of $30.0 million currently at a six (6) month LIBOR rate of 5.63% and $5.1 million at an effective rate of 7.5%. The capitalized lease obligations were at various interest rates. On September 28, 2001, the Company through its Hillman subsidiary refinanced its $115 million bank revolving credit and $21.5 million term loan with $105 million in senior secured credit facilities. The new financing consists of a Revolver, Term Loan A, and Term Loan B. The Revolver and Term Loan A have a five-year term and Term Loan B has a seven-year term. The credit facility provides Hillman and the Company with adequate funds for working capital and other corporate requirements. On September 28, 2001, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Technology Services, including its Canadian operation for a sales price of $25.5 million in cash and preferred stock plus the assumption of certain liabilities by the buyer, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The cash proceeds from the sale of SunSource Technology Services will be distributed to Allied Capital and certain members of management, who are the remaining shareholders of the Company. Interest on the Amended Subordinated Debt Issuance of $40 million which matures September 29, 2009 is at a fixed rate of 18.0% per annum, with cash interest payments being required on a quarterly basis at a fixed rate of 13.5% commencing November 15, 2001. The outstanding principal balance of the Amended Subordinated Debt Issuance shall be increased on a quarterly basis at the remaining 4.5% fixed rate (the "PIK Amount"). All of the PIK Amounts are due on the fifth anniversary of the Amended Subordinated Debt Issuance. Most of the additional cash proceeds generated from the Amended Subordinated Debt Issuance of $10 million were used primarily for the Axxess Subordinated Note Repayment which had a balance of approximately $8.8 million on September 28, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, the Company's total debt (including distributions payable) as a percentage of its consolidated capitalization (total debt, trust preferred securities and stockholders' equity) was approximately 42.9% compared with 45.0% at December 31, 2000 and 42.7% as of September 30, 2000. The Company's consolidated capitalization (including distributions payable) as of September 30, 2001, was approximately $306.7 million compared to $231.9 million at December 31, 2000 and $247.3 million at September 30, 2000. Page 26 of 31 The Company has spent $10.2 million for capital expenditures through September 30, 2001, primarily for key duplication machines and machinery and equipment. In addition, the Company has spent $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 for materials and supplies and component parts for construction in process of key duplication machines for placement next quarter. The Company expects to incur total fixed capital spending of $15.2 million in 2001 primarily for the Hillman Group which represents an increase of $6.8 million compared to total year 2000 as a result of the acquisition of Axxess and growth in national accounts for key duplication machines. The Company has deferred tax assets aggregating $34.1 million as of September 30, 2001, as determined in accordance with SFAS 109. Management believes that the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized through the reversal of existing temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases, as well as through future taxable income. INFLATION Inflation in recent years has had a modest impact on the operations of the Company. Continued inflation, over a period of years at higher than current rates, would result in significant increases in inventory costs and operating expenses. However, such higher cost of sales and operating expenses can generally be offset by increases in selling prices, although the ability of the Company's operating divisions to raise prices is dependent on competitive market conditions. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 established accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, and requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS 137, which deferred the implementation of SFAS 133. The Company adopted SFAS 133 during the first quarter of 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations because the Company generally does not engage in derivative transactions. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). FAS 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method, and the use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. FAS 141 also establishes criteria for the separate recognition of intangible assets acquired in a business combination. FAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be subject to periodic testing for impairment. FAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application permitted only in specified circumstances. Management is currently evaluating the expected impact of FAS 142. At the end of June 2001, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. FAS 143 requires that obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recorded as a liability when those obligations are incurred, with the amount of the liability initially measured at fair value. FAS 143 will be effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management is currently evaluating the expected impact of FAS 143. FAS 144 supersedes FAS 121, accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed OF, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. FAS 144 was necessary to resolve significant implementation issues related to SFAS 121. Although the proposed statement supercedes FAS No. 121, it retains the fundamental measurement provisions for assets that are to be disposed of by sale. Additionally, FAS 144 retains the basic provisions of APB 30 for the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity, rather than a segment of a business. The provisions of FAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the expected impact of FAS 144.
