UNOVA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

1.                                      Basis of Presentation

 

UNOVA, Inc. and subsidiaries (“UNOVA” or the “Company”) is a global supplier of mobile computing and wireless network products for non-office applications and of manufacturing systems technologies primarily for the automotive and aerospace industries. The Company is headquartered in Everett, Washington and incorporated in the state of Delaware.

 

The amounts included in this report are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the stated periods have been included. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

 

2.                                      Stock-Based Compensation

 

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, the Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” under which compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period if the fair value is greater than the exercise price (the intrinsic value method) at the grant of stock options. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net earnings (loss) and basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows (thousands of dollars):

4.                                      Long-term Obligations and Interest, net

 

The Company maintains two secured long-term credit facilities: a $100 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a £15.0 million ($27.2 million) revolving facility and related overdraft facility (collectively, the “UK Facility”).

 

Net of outstanding letters of credit and limitations on Minimum Availability, the Company had borrowing capacity at March 31, 2004, of $11.6 million under the Revolving Facility and £11.9 million ($21.7 million) under the UK Facility. The Company made no borrowings under the Revolving Facility or the UK Facility at any time during the first quarter of 2004 and as of March 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding under either facility. As of March 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of each of these agreements.

 

In March 1998, the Company sold $200.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured debt in an underwritten offering. The debt comprised $100.0 million of 6.875% seven-year notes and $100.0 million of 7.00% ten-year notes. Interest payments are due semi-annually. Including underwriting fees, discounts and other issuance costs, the effective interest rates on the seven-year and ten-year notes are 7.125% and 7.175%, respectively. As of March 31, 2004 the $100.0 million seven-year notes, maturing in March 2005, are classified as current portion of long-term obligations on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company additionally has outstanding $8.5 million of 3.21% industrial revenue bonds, maturing in July 2005.

 

Interest, net comprises the following (thousands of dollars):

The Company also has letter-of-credit reimbursement agreements primarily related to the Company’s performance on contracts with customers totaling $26.4 million at March 31, 2004. The Company believes it is not practicable to estimate fair values of these instruments and considers the risk of non-performance on the contracts to be remote.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, as a result of the continued economic downturn in the global automotive, aerospace and heavy equipment industries, the Company initiated a plan to consolidate its Cincinnati Machine, Lamb Machining Systems and Lamb Body & Assembly Systems divisions into the new operating entity, Cincinnati Lamb. The plan included the relocation of certain Cincinnati Machine operations, outsourcing of certain manufacturing activities, termination of employees, and the sale of certain plant and equipment. This restructuring, which was substantially completed by December 31, 2003, resulted in fourth quarter 2002 charges for severance of $14.7 million for the planned termination of 683 employees, early retirement of $4.2 million for 42 employees, and plant closure costs of $0.4 million. The related analysis of long-lived assets to be disposed of resulted in a fourth quarter 2002 non-cash impairment charge of $4.2 million to write down property, plant and equipment to the lower of its carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell (“net realizable value”). During the year ended December 31, 2003, in conjunction with the above described restructuring plan, IAS recorded severance charges of $2.1 million for an additional 165 employees and $2.1 million for other plant closure costs. The related analysis of long-lived assets to be disposed of resulted in the non-cash impairment charge of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 to write down property, plant and equipment to the lower of its carrying value or estimated net realizable value. The fair value of long-lived assets to be disposed of was estimated based on the current market value of similar assets.

 

In the first quarter 2004, IAS recorded additional charges of $0.3 million for additional facility consolidation costs and $0.1 million for impairment of property, plant and equipment in conjunction with this plan. As of March 31, 2004, the IAS segment had terminated 787 employees and paid $16.6 million in severance, cumulatively, in conjunction with this plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, 103 employees were terminated and $3.3 million of severance was paid in conjunction with this plan. The number of employees terminated does not include 228 employees of Lamb Body & Assembly that are no longer IAS employees as a result of the divestiture of this operation in September 2003.

 

Corporate: During the third quarter 2002, the Company initiated a plan to relocate its corporate office to its existing Intermec Technologies Corporation facility in Everett, Washington. This action, which was substantially complete as of June 30, 2003, resulted in the accrual of severance costs for 19 employees totaling $2.0 million and other facility closure costs of $3.2 million in the third quarter 2002. In the fourth quarter 2002, an additional accrual was recorded for facility closure costs of $1.2 million. Additional charges of $1.7 million for facility move and employee relocation expenses were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2004, 22 employees had been terminated and $0.6 million in severance costs had been paid, cumulatively, of which 2 employee terminations and $0.2 million in severance payments occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2004. During the three months ending March 31, 2004 $1.4 million of the workforce reduction accrual, relating to certain pension obligations for certain individuals affected by the restructuring plan, was reclassified to other long-term liabilities. The corporate restructuring accrual as of March 31, 2004 of $2.1 million represents ongoing leased facility costs.

6.                                      Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

 

During the third quarter 2003, in conjunction with the consolidation plan described in Note 4, the Company sold substantially all the assets and existing backlog of its Lamb Body & Assembly Systems division for approximately the book value of the divested assets. The Company received $12.8 million in 2003 and $2.5 million in April 2004 and retained $9.9 million in accounts payable. The division meets the definition of a “component of an entity” and has been accounted for as a discontinued operation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” (“SFAS No. 144”). The Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 has been restated to present this division as discontinued operations for comparative purposes.

 

Sales and service revenue from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $9.7 million. There was no revenue from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The loss and related tax effect from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were not material. Losses from discontinued operations were $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Losses from discontinued operations did not have a tax effect for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as the Company’s domestic income tax benefits for the quarter was offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.

 

The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 includes $5.2 million in current assets, including $1.8 million of net property, plant and equipment classified as assets held for sale, and $7.5 million in current liabilities pertaining to discontinued operations. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 includes $3.7 million in current assets, including $1.8 million of assets held for sale, and $7.0 million in current liabilities pertaining to discontinued operations.

 

7.                                      Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for three months ended March 31, 2004, is primarily related to federal, state and foreign taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003, is primarily related to foreign and state taxes, as the domestic tax benefit for the quarter is offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.

 

8.                                      Earnings (Loss) per Share and Shareholders’ Investment

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using basic weighted average shares plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock” method.

Because the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, stock options and unvested restricted shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation as their effect would have been antidilutive. Company employees and directors held options to purchase 5,535,025 shares of Company common stock as of March 31, 2003. Also, Company employees held a weighted average of 378,017 unvested restricted shares for the three month period ended March 31, 2003.

The Company has entered into a variety of agreements with third parties that include indemnification clauses, both in the ordinary course of business and in connection with our divestitures of certain product lines.  These clauses require us to compensate these third parties for certain liabilities and damages incurred by them. FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors’ Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” requires that the Company estimate and record the fair value of guarantees as a liability. The Company has not made any significant indemnification payments as a result of these clauses, nor does it believe the fair value of any of these guarantees has a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The Company is currently, and is from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of the Company’s General Counsel, the ultimate resolution of currently pending proceedings, with the potential exception of one case discussed below, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Tower Automotive Products Co. v. Lamb Technicon Body and Assembly is a lawsuit filed on March 11, 2002 in the Kent County Circuit Court in Michigan, generally alleging a breach of contract involving a frame assembly production line. No specific claim for damages has been made by Tower Automotive Products Co. The Company has responded to the Complaint. A trial date has been scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2004. Management believes the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously contesting the case.  Nevertheless, should there be an unfavorable result it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in that period or subsequent periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company contributed approximately $4.1 million to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans, comprising $0.5 million in benefits paid pertaining to unfunded domestic pension plans, $0.9 million in matching contributions to its 401(k) plan, $1.6 million in contributions to its foreign pension plans, and $1.1 million in benefits paid pertaining to its other postretirement benefits plans. The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $11.7 million to these plans during the remainder of 2004, of which $1.5 million relates to benefit payments on its unfunded domestic pension plans, $2.2 million in matching contributions to its 401(k) plan, $4.7 million in contributions to its foreign pension plans and $3.3 million in benefit payments pertaining to its other postretirement benefit plans.

 

15.                               Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the “Act”). FSP 106-1 permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. Regardless of whether a sponsor elects that deferral, certain disclosures are required pending further consideration of the underlying accounting issues. FSP 106-1 is effective for interim or annual financial statements of fiscal years ending after December 7, 2003. The Company elected to defer accounting for the effects of the Act on the Company’s postretirement healthcare plans. Accordingly, any measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) or net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes do not reflect the effects of the Act. Specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy is pending and that guidance, when issued, could require the Company to change previously reported information.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employer’s Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” The revised statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132, which it replaces, and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Except as noted below, the provisions of this statement are effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The interim period disclosure requirements of the statement became effective for the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2004, and are included in Note 14. The statement’s disclosure requirements relating to estimated future benefit payments and relating to foreign plans are effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Sales and Service Revenues

 

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004, were $297.7 million, an increase of $33.7 million, or 12.8%, compared with the corresponding prior year period. The Company received compensation related to a settlement regarding certain of its intellectual property (“IP settlements”) which resulted in a significant, positive impact on the Company’s revenues and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, products and service revenue increased approximately $14.0 million, or 5.3%, compared with the corresponding prior year period. The related products and service operating profit increased $5.4 million from the prior year comparable period.

 

Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of sales and service increased $7.9 million, or 4.2%, to $195.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $187.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Cost of sales and service as a percentage of sales decreased to 65.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared with 70.9% for the comparable period in 2003. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to the impact of the IP settlement in the first quarter of 2004, a 3.2 percentage point improvement in ADS gross margins and the change in revenue mix toward a higher proportion of ADS products and services compared with the same

 

13



 

quarter of 2003.  ADS product and service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 represents 62.3% of total UNOVA product and service revenue compared with 61.7% in the corresponding prior year period.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $78.6 million and $76.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase of $2.3 million from the prior year period is primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in ADS research and development expense and a $2.9 million increase in SG&A expense due to the growth in ADS products and service revenues. Other ADS SG&A expense as a percentage of sales during the first quarter of 2004, which includes a reduction of approximately $1.3 million in certain liability accounts established in prior periods, was consistent with the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in SG&A expense within ADS was partially offset by the efficiencies resulting from the IAS restructuring and a $3.5 million reduction in corporate and other unallocated expenses resulting from the absence of loan termination expense, a favorable litigation outcome and the cost benefits received from transitioning the corporate headquarters to Everett. As a result of these factors and the IP settlement in the first quarter of 2004, SG&A as a percentage of total sales and service revenues decreased to 26.4% for the first quarter of 2004 compared to 28.9% for the corresponding prior year period.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $6.8 million from the corresponding prior year period is primarily due to lower property, plant and equipment balances resulting from sales of IAS property, plant and equipment and the classification of certain assets as held for sale. In addition, during the third quarter 2003 in conjunction with the IAS restructuring, property, plant and equipment with a net book value of $30.0 million was reclassified to assets held for sale and depreciation on the assets was terminated.

 

Special Charges

 

The following table and discussion describe the restructuring activities the Company initiated in 2002, which resulted in charges for severance, facility consolidation, impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill and loss on sale of business, classified as special charges on the consolidated statements of operations (millions of dollars):

IAS Segment: In the fourth quarter of 2002, as a result of the continued economic downturn in the global automotive, aerospace and heavy equipment industries, the Company initiated a plan to consolidate its Cincinnati Machine, Lamb Machining Systems and Lamb Body & Assembly Systems divisions into the new operating entity, Cincinnati Lamb. The plan included the relocation of certain Cincinnati Machine operations, outsourcing of certain manufacturing activities, termination of employees, and the sale of certain plant and equipment. This restructuring, which was substantially completed by December 31, 2003, resulted in fourth quarter 2002 charges for severance of $14.7 million for the planned termination of 683 employees, early retirement of $4.2 million for 42 employees, and plant closure costs of $0.4 million. The related analysis of long-lived assets to be disposed of resulted in a fourth quarter 2002 non-cash impairment charge of $4.2 million to write down property, plant and equipment to the lower of its carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell (“net realizable value”). During the year ended December 31, 2003, in conjunction with the above described restructuring plan, IAS recorded severance charges of $2.1 million for an additional 165 employees and $2.1 million for other plant closure costs. The related analysis of long-lived assets to be disposed of resulted in the non-cash impairment charge of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 to write down property, plant and equipment to the lower of its carrying value or estimated net realizable

 

14



 

value. The fair value of long-lived assets to be disposed of was estimated based on the current market value of similar assets.

 

In the first quarter 2004, IAS recorded additional charges of $0.3 million for additional facility consolidation costs and $0.1 million for impairment of property plant and equipment in conjunction with this plan. As of March 31, 2004, the IAS segment had terminated 787 employees and paid $16.6 million in severance, cumulatively, in conjunction with this plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, 103 employees were terminated and $3.3 million severance was paid in conjunction with this plan. The number of employees terminated does not include 228 employees of Lamb Body & Assembly that are no longer IAS employees as a result of the divestiture of this operation in September 2003.

 

Corporate: During the third quarter of 2002, the Company initiated a plan to relocate its corporate office to its existing Intermec Technologies Corporation facility in Everett, Washington. This action, which was substantially complete by June 30, 2003, resulted in the accrual of severance costs for 19 employees totaling $2.0 million and other facility closure costs of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2002. In the fourth quarter of 2002, an additional accrual was recorded for facility closure costs of $1.2 million. Additional charges of $1.7 million for facility move and employee relocation expense were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2004, 22 employees had been terminated and $0.6 million in severance costs had been paid, cumulatively, of which 2 employee terminations and $0.2 million in severance payments occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

Interest, Net

 

Net interest expense decreased $0.8 million to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result of lower average debt balances and higher cash balances during the first quarter of 2004 compared with comparable prior year quarter. In January 2003, the Company fully paid down and terminated the remaining $16.2 million balance of a term loan.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2004, is primarily related to federal and foreign taxes.  The effective income tax rate of 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was lower than the normal effective tax rate of 38% to 40% due to the recognition of certain previously unrecognized state income tax loss carryforwards. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003, is primarily related to foreign and state taxes, as the domestic tax benefit for the quarter is offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operations

 

During the third quarter 2003, in conjunction with the IAS consolidation plan, the Company sold substantially all the assets and existing backlog of its Lamb Body and Assembly Systems division for a price approximately equal to the book value of the divested assets. The transaction is accounted for and reported under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The results of operations for this division are classified as a discontinued operation.

 

Sales and service revenue from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $9.7 million. There was no revenue from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The losses from discontinued operations and tax effect of losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were not material. Losses from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $2.2 million and did not have a tax effect for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as the Company’s domestic income tax benefit for the quarter was offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.

ADS segment revenues increased $30.1 million, or 18%, to $193.0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $162.9 million for the corresponding prior year period. The three months ended March 31, 2004 include significant revenue and operating profit related to an IP settlement. The specific terms of the settlement are confidential. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the IP settlement, net of legal fees, resulted in a favorable impact on segment operating profit of $15.8 million, compared to $0.8 million of IP related legal expense in the comparable prior year period.

 

ADS product and service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $10.5 million, or 6.4% compared to corresponding prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, systems and solutions revenues increased by 6.7%, printer/media increased by 7.9% and service increased by 5.3% over the corresponding prior year period. Geographically, product and service revenue for EMEA increased 22.0%, North America increased 2.8%, and the rest of the world decreased 11.1% compared to the corresponding prior year period. Favorable foreign exchange rates contributed approximately $8.8 million of the revenue increase from the prior year quarter.  The quarter ended March 31, 2003 included a significant direct store delivery rollout in Latin America.

 

Operating profit from ADS product and service revenue increased $2.5 million, or 25%, to $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $9.8 for the corresponding prior year period. The improvement in operating profit is primarily due to the $10.5 million increase in revenues and the 3.2 percentage point increase in the product and service gross margin partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding prior year period.

 

An additional patent infringement lawsuit regarding the Company’s battery power-management patents is pending and may result in future revenue.  Settlements have been reached to date with companies that in the aggregate represent approximately ninety percent of U.S. laptop sales. Management cannot predict the outcome, timing or amount of future settlements or judgments.

IAS segment revenues increased $3.5 million, or 3.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared with the corresponding prior year period. The increase in revenue reflects a slight improvement in the continuing global weakness in capital spending, primarily in the North American automotive and worldwide aerospace industries. IAS operating losses were $5.3 million and $8.2 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $2.9 million reduction in the IAS operating loss is primarily due to the effect of the IAS restructuring programs which were largely complete as of December 31, 2003.

 

Backlog for the IAS segment was $247.7 million at March 31, 2004, compared with $266.1 million at December 31, 2003, adjusted to exclude discontinued operations. Bookings continue to be negatively impacted by delayed or canceled capital equipment investment by the U.S. automotive and worldwide aerospace industries and by weakness in the domestic machine tool market. The Company believes that increased capital equipment investment by its automotive customers will be necessary to facilitate introduction of new vehicles and engines. However, the timing of renewed capital equipment investments is unclear. The Company does not expect significant improvement in the near term.

 

The three month periods ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 include special charges resulting from the IAS segment’s cost reduction actions including consolidation of plant facilities, sale or closure of certain underperforming operations and the consolidation of the Cincinnati Machine and the Lamb Machining Systems operations. See the discussion above under the heading “Special Charges.”

 

Corporate and Other

 

Operating expenses from Corporate and Other were $3.5 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in expense of $3.5 million was primarily due to cost reductions from the relocation of corporate headquarters to Everett, Washington in 2003, a favorable ruling in an IP legal dispute during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and from a reduction in currency losses for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to the comparable prior year period.

 

Expectations

 

During its quarterly conference call on April 30, 2004, the Company provided projections of segment revenues and operating profit for the second quarter of 2004, as discussed below.

 

ADS products and service revenues for the second quarter of 2004 are expected to be in the range of $184 to $189 million, reflecting a projected increase in the range of 7% to 10% over the corresponding prior year quarter. The related operating profit is expected to be in the range of $11.6 to $13.6 million.

 

The IAS segment is expected to return to operating profitability for the second quarter and full year 2004, with a projected operating profit of approximately $1 million in the second quarter.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $227.5 million at March 31, 2004, from $238.4 million at December 31, 2003. Long-term obligations decreased from $208.5 million at December 31, 2003 to $108.5 million at March 31, 2004 due to the reclassification of $100 million to current portion of long-term obligations which mature in March 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, net cash, defined as cash and cash equivalents less total debt, decreased $10.9 million to $19.0 million, compared with $29.9 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease in net cash primarily reflects a decrease in cash and cash equivalents due to cash used in normal operations, net of proceeds from an IP settlement.

 

Cash used in operating activities of $9.5 million was due primarily to $7 million in bond interest paid and $2.5 million used by operations. Cash provided by the ADS segment was more than offset by working capital usage in the IAS segment supporting the early build cycle in certain long-term contracts. Investing activities used $3.1 million primarily due to capital expenditures. Financing activities provided  $1.7 million from stock option exercises.

 

The Company maintains two secured long-term credit facilities: a $100 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a £15.0 million ($27.2 million) revolving facility and related overdraft facility (collectively, the “UK Facility”).

 

The Company had borrowing capacity at March 31, 2004, of $11.6 million under the Revolving Facility and £11.9 million ($21.7 million) under the UK Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit and limitations on Minimum Availability. The Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Facility or the UK Facility at any time during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and as of March 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding under either facility. As of March 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of each of these agreements. As of March 31, 2004 the Revolving Facility was amended to provide greater flexibility for the Company to, among other things, change the organizational structure of Intermec Technologies Corporation, acquire or create additional subsidiaries in connection with stock or asset purchases, recapitalize certain subsidiaries, prepay or repurchase certain debt and increase certain letters of credit in foreign exchange facilities.

In March 1998, the Company sold $200.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured debt in an underwritten offering. The debt comprised $100.0 million of 6.875% seven-year notes and $100.0 million of 7.00% ten-year notes. Interest payments are due semi-annually. Including underwriting fees, discounts and other issuance costs, the effective interest rates on the seven-year and ten-year notes are 7.125% and 7.175%, respectively.

 

The Company additionally has outstanding $8.5 million of 3.21% industrial revenue bonds, maturing in July 2005.

 

Management believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with projected cash flow from operations will provide adequate funding to meet its expected working capital, capital expenditure, and restructuring cost requirements for the next twelve months. Projected cash flows from operations are largely based on the Company’s revenue estimates, cost estimates, and the related timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements. If actual performance differs from estimated performance, cash flow from operations could be positively or negatively impacted. Additional sources of liquidity for the Company include the Revolving Facility and the UK Facility.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The Company’s contractual commitments as of March 31, 2004, have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management’s beliefs regarding significant accounting policies have not changed significantly from those disclosed in Item 7 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the “Act”). FSP 106-1 permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. Regardless of whether a sponsor elects that deferral, certain disclosures are required pending further consideration of the underlying accounting issues. FSP 106-1 is effective for interim or annual financial statements of fiscal years ending after December 7, 2003. The Company elected to defer accounting for the effects of the Act on the Company’s postretirement healthcare plans. Accordingly, any measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) or net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes do not reflect the effects of the Act. Specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy is pending and that guidance, when issued, could require the Company to change previously reported information

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employer’s Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” The revised statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132, which it replaces, and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Except as noted below, the provisions of this statement are effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The interim period disclosure requirements of the statement became effective for the Company’s interim financial statements for the

 

18



 

quarter ending March 31, 2004, and are included in Note 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The statement’s disclosure requirements relating to estimated future benefit payments and relating to foreign plans are effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors

 

All statements in this report that are not historical facts or that include such words as “expect,”  “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “could,” “may” or “plan” or other similar words are forward-looking statements that the Company deems to be covered by and to qualify for the safe harbor protection of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (alternatively: Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the following:

 

                  The anticipated demand for the Company’s products and services;

 

                  Anticipated improvements of existing products and development of new products in the Company’s ADS segment;

 

                  The Company’s view of the short- and long-term outlook for and trends in the markets for the Company’s products and services;

 

                  The Company’s ability to

 

                  meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements;

 

                  achieve its goals with respect to revenues and cost savings in each of its segments;

 

                  successfully manage and complete large-scale industrial systems contracts for customers;

 

                  successfully obtain critical components for its products;

 

                  complete large-scale mobile computing installations;

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Several factors govern whether the Company will or can achieve any forward-looking statement made in this report. Any one of these factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those discussed in a forward-looking statement. The Company outlines these risk factors in reports that it files with the SEC, in press releases and on its website, www.unova.com. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to:

 

                  Continued weakness in the automotive and aerospace markets could lead to reduced demand for the Company’s products.

 

                  Technological changes and consequent market shifts could adversely impact demand for the Company’s products and systems.

 

                  Some of the Company’s competitors have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be able to adapt more quickly to market trends or price declines.

 

                  If the Company is unable to obtain key components of its products from its current suppliers, the cost of manufacturing the Company’s products could increase, the Company might have to re-engineer some products, and delivery times of some of the Company’s products could be delayed.

 

                  The Company’s inability to successfully manage the reorganization of its IAS segment and reduce its operating costs could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.

 

19



 

                  Political instability outside of the U.S. and hostility against U.S. companies in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect the Company’s international operations.

 

                  Changes in U.S. and foreign government regulations regarding radio emissions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell its ADS products or complete development of anticipated new products.

 

Readers should consider the foregoing risk factors in evaluating the Company’s ability to achieve expected results or objectives set forth in any forward-looking statement. In addition, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in making investment decisions regarding the Company. The Company disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from its short-term and long-term borrowings and to foreign exchange rate risk with respect to its foreign operations and from foreign currency transactions.

 

Due to its global operations, the Company’s cash flows and earnings are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. When appropriate, the Company may attempt to limit its exposure to changing foreign exchange rates by entering into short-term foreign currency exchange contracts. As of March 31, 2004, the Company held short-term contracts for the purpose of hedging foreign currency cash flows with an aggregate notional amount of $116.4 million.

 

Except as noted in the preceding paragraphs, as of March 31, 2004, there have been no material changes in information provided in Item 7A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, which contains a complete discussion of the Company’s material exposures to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, supervised and participated in an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

2.                                       Definitions.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms and phrases used in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

 



 

3.                                       Amendment to Section 7.14Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement entitled “Prepayment” is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby substituted thereof:

 

“Prepayment.  Neither the Parent nor any of its domestic Subsidiaries shall voluntarily prepay any Debt, except the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to any such payment, (ii) after giving effect to such prepayment, Availability is equal to or greater than $60,000,000, (iii) such prepayment is either (a) a voluntary, permanent prepayment of Debt other than the Debt now or hereafter described in the Indenture or (b) a voluntary prepayment of up to $60,000,000 in the aggregate of the Debt now or hereafter evidenced by and described in the Indenture, and (iv) Agent receives prior to such prepayment (A) a certification from Borrowers, including without limitation a current Borrowing Base Certificate and a calculation of Availability, confirming that Borrowers are in compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.14 and (B) notice from Borrowers notifying Agent that the contemplated prepayment is either (x) a voluntary, permanent prepayment of Debt other than the Debt now or hereafter evidenced by and described in the Indenture or (y) a voluntary, permanent prepayment in the aggregate of not more than $60,000,000 of the Debt now or hereafter evidenced by and described in the Indenture.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 7.14, the proceeds (net of closing costs, fees and expenses and an amount equal to the tax liabilities arising as a result of any gain associated with such sale) of the sale of any Collateral that is subject to a Lien, which is not prohibited by the terms hereof and is prior to the Agent’s Lien, shall be applied first to repaying the Debt evidenced by such Lien.”

 

4.                                       New Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement and provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Intermec Technologies Corporation is hereby authorized to transfer its manufacturing and research and development assets located in the State of Washington with a net tangible book value of approximately $50,000,000 to a new Subsidiary known as Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Washington, which is either wholly owned by a Borrower or 99% owned by one of the Borrowers and 1% owned by a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower.  Concurrently with such transfer, Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC shall execute a Joinder Agreement in the general form of Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, pursuant to which Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC shall assume, on a joint and several basis with all other Borrowers, all of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In addition, Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC and its parent(s) shall execute and deliver to Agent concurrently therewith such other Loan Documents as Agent shall deem necessary and appropriate in Agent’s reasonable discretion to evidence and secure a pledge by its parent(s) of one hundred percent of its ownership interest in Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC and a grant by Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC of a security interest in all of its assets to Agent for the benefit of Lenders.  Upon Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC’s execution of the Joinder Agreement and Agent’s acceptance thereof, Schedule 6.5 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be updated to show Intermec Technologies Manufacturing, LLC as a Borrower.

Dear Sirs

 

Barclays Bank PLC (the “Bank”) is pleased to offer to provide in aggregate short term facilities of up to £15,000,000 (fifteen million pounds sterling) to UNOVA U.K. Limited, Cincinnati Machine U.K. Limited and Intermec Technologies U.K. Limited (together the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”) subject to the terms and conditions set out below.

 

Capitalised words used below shall have the meanings given to them in clause 17 and elsewhere in this Facility Letter.

 

The Bank is also pleased to offer to provide the Borrowers with a spot and forward exchange transactions facility of up to £1,000,000 (the “SFET”). Utilisation under the SFET shall be in accordance with Schedule D attached hereto.

 

In addition, the Bank is prepared to provide the Borrowers with the following facilities (documented separately):

 

(a)                                  Company Barclaycard facility of up to £268,500;

 

(b)                                 BACS facility of up to £5,380,000; and

 

(c)                                  Business Master facility of up to £2,570,000,

 

The Schedules attached hereto form part of the terms and conditions of this Facility Letter.

 

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out in clause 18 below, the Facility and the SFET will be available for utilisation by the Borrowers, subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1.                                       Options Available Within and Utilisation of the Facility

 

1.1                                 The Facility may be utilised by way of the following options and in accordance with the provisions of the Schedules related thereto:

 

Sterling and/or Currency Money Market Loan (the “Sterling/Currency MML”) (see Schedule A) and/or

 

Sterling Overdraft (the “Sterling Overdraft”) (see Schedule B) and/or

 

1



 

Bonds, Guarantees and Indemnities (the “Ancillary Facility”) (see Schedule C).

 

Within the Facility, the aggregate of the liabilities due, owing or incurred thereunder shall not at any time exceed £15,000,000 (or its currency equivalent).

 

Within the Facility, the aggregate of liabilities incurred or due and owing under the Sterling Overdraft shall not at any time exceed £1,000,000 or the unutilized portion of the Facility, which ever is less.

 

Within the Facility, the aggregate of the bonds, guarantees and indemnities issued under the Ancillary Facility shall not at any time exceed £10,500,000 (or its currency equivalent).

 

1.2                                 The sterling equivalent of the currency or currencies utilised or available to be utilised under the Facility and the SFET may be calculated by the Bank at any time by reference to the Bank’s spot rate of exchange in the London Foreign Exchange Market for the sale of the relevant currency or currencies for sterling.

 

2.                                       Availability

 

If on the day of utilisation:

 

(a)                                  no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

 

(b)                                 the representations and warranties detailed within clause 9 below are true on such day, then the Facility is available for utilisation until the second anniversary of the date of acceptance of  this letter (the “Expiry Date”) and no liability or liabilities may extend beyond the Expiry Date.

 

Shortly before the first anniversary of the acceptance of this offer and annually thereafter the Bank agrees to consider in its absolute discretion an extension of the Expiry Date by a further year if requested in writing by the Borrowers.  The Bank’s agreement to any extension and/or change in any terms and conditions will be notified in writing to the Borrowers.

 

3.                                       Security and Guarantees

 

3.1                                 All indebtedness owing by the Borrowers to the Bank is to be (i) guaranteed by the cross guarantees which are to have been executed in the Bank’s standard form (with such amendments thereto as the Bank and the Borrowers may agree) by each Borrower and UNOVA, Inc. (together the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor”) and (ii) secured by (a) the debentures which have already been executed in the Bank’s standard form (with such amendments thereto as the Bank and the Borrowers may agree) by each Borrower and (b) legal charges over the Properties which have already been executed in the Bank’s standard form (with such amendments thereto as the Bank and the Borrowers may agree) by UNOVA U.K. Limited and Cincinnati Machine U.K. Limited.

 

2



 

3.2                                 The Bank may from time to time require the Properties and the Trade Debtors to be professionally valued.  The Borrower will pay the costs of one such valuation per Property per annum together with the costs of any such valuation of the Properties and the Trade Debtors carried out where the Bank suspects that a Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

4.                                       Mandatory Prepayment

 

4.1                                 Each Borrower and UNOVA, Inc. undertakes that within 3 Business Days of receipt of the Disposal Proceeds, it shall (a) apply, or procure the application, in repayment of outstanding liabilities under the Sterling/Currency MML, an amount equal to the amount necessary to ensure compliance with the covenant set out at clause 10.2(a) and (b) reduce and cancel the Sterling/Currency MML by an amount equal to the amount necessary to ensure compliance with the covenant set out in clause 10.2(a).

 

4.2                                 Following a cancellation of the Sterling/Currency MML by the amount referred to in clause 4.1, the Borrowers may request that a portion of the cancelled amount of the Sterling/Currency MML become available for redrawing. Upon receipt of such request the Bank will enter into discussions with the Borrowers and may in its absolute discretion agree that such portion will become available for redrawing.

 

5.                                       Cancellation

 

Any undrawn part of the Facility may be cancelled by the Borrowers in minimum amounts of £500,000 and multiples of £50,000 subject to the Borrowers:

 

(a)                                  giving the Bank not less than seven Business Days’ notice in writing (such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable); and

 

(b)                                 paying to the Bank a cancellation fee of 0.5% of the amounts cancelled together with any accrued non-utilisation fee thereon if such cancellation arises as a result of the Borrowers obtaining a replacement facility for this Facility from a bank or financial institution which is not part of the group comprising the Bank and its subsidiary undertakings.

 

The non_utilisation fee will then cease to accrue on such cancelled amounts.  Amounts which are cancelled will no longer be available for utilisation.

 

6.                                       Change of Circumstances

 

6.1                                 In the event of:

 

(a)                                  any change in applicable law, regulation or practice resulting in the Bank being subjected to any new or additional tax, levy, duty, charge, penalty, deduction or withholding of any nature (other than tax on the Bank’s overall net profits and gains), or

 

(b)           any existing requirements of any central bank, governmental, fiscal, monetary, regulatory or other authority in any applicable

 

3



 

jurisdiction affecting the conduct of the Bank’s business being changed or any new requirements being imposed (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, any resulting from the introduction or operation of the euro and a request or requirement which affects the manner in which the Bank allocates capital resources to its commitments, including its obligations under this Facility Letter,

 

and the result is in the sole opinion of the Bank (directly or indirectly) to increase the cost to the Bank of funding, making available or maintaining the Facility or to reduce the amount of any payment received or receivable by the Bank or to reduce the effective return to the Bank, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank on demand such sum as may be certified in writing by the Bank to the Borrowers as necessary to compensate the Bank for such increased cost or such reduction.

 

6.2                                 The Borrowers may, at any time within six weeks after the date of certification from the Bank under clause 6.1, prepay all amounts outstanding under the Facility without penalty and without incurring any cancellation fee (subject to clause 16.3(iv)), by giving not less than five Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Bank to that effect specifying the prepayment date.  The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay to the Bank all amounts outstanding under the Facility on such date, together with all interest accrued to the date of actual payment and all other sums due to the Bank hereunder.  Unless prepayment is made within such period of six weeks, an amount equal to such increased cost or such reduction will be payable by the Borrowers under the preceding sub-clause from the date of such certification.

 

6.3                                 Reference to the cost of funds/sterling deposits and to the London Interbank Market shall, if such cost ceases to be market practice/ordinarily used by the Bank for the purpose of calculating interest on facilities of this kind or such market no longer exists in comparable form, be construed as meaning the appropriate and reasonable alternative cost or source of funds as the case may be, as determined by the Bank.

 

7.                                       Fees

 

7.1                                 A non-utilisation fee at the rate of 0.5% per annum calculated on a daily basis from the date of the Borrowers’ acceptance of this offer on the undrawn portion of the Facility, will be payable to the Bank quarterly in arrears and on the Expiry Date.

 

7.2                                 A renewal fee at the rate of 0.25% on the available amount of the Facility will be payable by the Borrowers to the Bank annually in advance.

 

7.3                                 Any fee referred to in clauses 7.1 or 7.2 is exclusive of any VAT which might be chargeable in connection with that fee.  If any VAT is so chargeable, it shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Bank at the same time as it pays the relevant fee.

 

8.                                       Legal, Valuation and other Expenses

 

4



 

Any legal and valuation fees and expenses (including documentation fees) (including any applicable VAT) and other out of pocket expenses (including any applicable VAT) incurred by the Bank in connection with the preparation, execution and implementation of this Facility Letter (and the documents referred to herein) and the enforcement and preservation by the Bank of its rights under this Facility Letter or such documents will be reimbursed by the Borrowers on demand by the Bank on a full indemnity basis (whether or not the Facility is drawn down) and may be debited to the Borrowers’ account with the Bank without further authority from the Borrowers.  Other than in connection with enforcement or preservation, the Bank will consult with the Borrowers prior to incurring such fees and expenses and shall provide estimates to the Borrowers.

 

9.                                       Representations and Warranties

 

9.1                                 By accepting this Facility Letter, each Borrower makes the representations and warranties contained in (a) to (g) below, and each Guarantor makes the representations and warranties contained in (h) below:

(b)                                 there is no law, decree or similar enactment binding on it and no provision in any corporate document, mortgage, indenture, trust deed, contract or agreement binding on it or affecting its property which would conflict with or prevent it from borrowing under the Facility, or which would prevent it from observing any of its obligations in this Facility Letter;

 

(c)                                  neither its acceptance of this offer nor the performance by it of its obligations or the exercise of any of its rights under the terms of this Facility Letter will result in the existence of, or oblige such Borrower to create, any security interest in favour of any third party (other than the Bank) over the whole or any part of the undertaking or assets, present or future, of such Borrower and there are no subsisting mortgages, charges or other encumbrances affecting any of the undertaking, property assets or revenues of such Borrower other than those detailed within clause 10.1(a) below;

 

(d)                                 it is not in breach of any of the limits or restrictions or obligations imposed by any other agreement or instrument and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

11



 

body corporate by Section 840 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) provided that an intra-group re-organisation will not give rise to a breach of this clause 13(i) so long as each Borrower remains a wholly-owned Subsidiary of UNOVA, Inc. (whether directly or indirectly); or

The Bank reserves the right, at any time following a demand under this clause, to purchase with sterling any currency necessary to convert any amounts outstanding under the Facility together with interest accrued thereon, to sterling whereupon the Borrowers shall then become liable to pay the Bank forthwith the relevant sterling amounts, together with all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank.

 

14.                                 Interest on an Overdue Amount

 

14.1                           Any money payable under this Facility Letter which is not paid when due by the Borrowers shall bear interest on a daily basis from the due date to the date of actual payment.  Such interest shall be calculated by reference to successive default interest periods of such duration as the Bank may from time to time select, except that the first such period relating to any overdue amount in respect of the Sterling/Currency MML shall be such as to mature at the end of the interest period current at the time when such amount became due.

 

14.2                           Interest shall be charged at the rate per annum determined by the Bank to be equal to 1% above the rate which would otherwise have been applicable to such overdue amount under the provisions of the relevant Schedule if such amount had been non-overdue principal (except that in the case of any amount that does not have an applicable interest rate hereunder the rate charged shall be 3% per annum over the Bank’s Base Rate current from time to time).  Interest so accrued shall be due on demand or (in the absence of demand) on the last day of the default interest period in which it accrued and, if unpaid, shall be compounded on the last day of that and each successive interest period.  Interest shall be charged and compounded on this basis both before and after any judgement obtained under this Facility Letter.

13



 

into contractual relations with the Bank in relation hereto) any information relevant to the Facility in the Bank’s possession relating to the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries and any related security or guarantee.  Other than in connection with an actual or prospective securitisation referred to in (i), the Bank shall obtain the Borrowers’ prior written consent to any assignment or transfer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

16.                                 Miscellaneous

 

16.1                           All notifications or determinations given or made by the Bank under this Facility Letter shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower, except in any case of manifest error.

 

16.2                           No delay or omission by the Bank in exercising any right or power under this Facility Letter shall impair such right or power, and any single or partial exercise of it shall not preclude any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Bank under this Facility Letter are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law.

 

16.3                           Each Borrower shall indemnify the Bank on demand (without prejudice to the Bank’s other rights) for any expense, loss or liability incurred by the Bank in consequence of (i) any failure by any Borrower to borrow in accordance with a notice of drawing given by it to the Bank, or (ii) any default or delay by any Borrower in the payment of any amount when due under this Facility Letter, or (iii) the occurrence or continuance of any event referred to in clause 13 above, or (iv) all or part of the Facility being prepaid or repaid for any reason otherwise than on the maturity of the then current interest period including, without limitation, any loss (other than loss of margin), expense or liability sustained or incurred by the Bank in any such event in liquidating or re-deploying funds acquired or committed to fund, make available or maintain the Facility (or any part of it).

 

16.4                           Any sum of money at any time standing to the credit of any Borrower with the Bank in any currency upon any account or otherwise may be applied by the Bank, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (without notice to the Borrower), in or towards the payment or discharge of any indebtedness now or subsequently owing to the Bank by such Borrower and the Bank may use any such money to purchase any currency or currencies required to effect such application.

 

16.5                           If, for any reason, any amount payable under this Facility Letter is paid or is recovered in a currency (the “other currency”) other than that in which it is required to be paid (the “contractual currency”), then, to the extent that the payment to the Bank (when converted at the then applicable rate of exchange) falls short of the amount unpaid under this Facility Letter, the Borrower shall, as a separate and independent obligation, fully indemnify the Bank on demand against the amount of the shortfall.  For the purposes of this clause the expression “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Bank is able as soon as practicable after receipt to purchase the contractual currency in London with the other currency.

 

14



 

16.6                           If the UK moves to the third stage of EMU, the Bank shall be entitled to make such changes to this Facility Letter as it reasonably considers are necessary to reflect the changeover to the euro (including, without limitation, the rounding (up or down) of fixed monetary amounts to convenient fixed amounts in the euro and amending any provisions to reflect the market conventions for a facility of the kind contemplated in this Facility Letter).

 

16.7                           A person who is not a party to this Facility Letter has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefits of this Facility Letter.

SCHEDULE A

 

Sterling/Currency MML

 

The Sterling/Currency MML includes the option not only to draw by way of short term loans in sterling, but also for the Borrowers to draw by way of short term loans in US Dollars and euro if freely transferable and convertible into sterling and available to the Bank in the relevant amount for the relevant period in the normal course of business in the London Interbank Market.  The Bank shall be the sole arbiter of the availability of such currencies.

 

The Sterling/Currency MML may be drawn in one or more amounts each drawing to be a minimum amount of £500,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) and multiples of £50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) thereafter for periods of a minimum seven days up to a maximum of 12 months at the Borrower’s option or other mutually agreed period but no drawing should be made for an interest period with a maturity date of more than three months beyond the Expiry Date.

 

When wishing to draw under the Sterling/Currency MML, the Borrower should telephone the Bank’s dealers at Global Treasury Services (“GTS”) on 0345-231160 on or shortly before the Business Day on which funds are required, stating the currency and the amount of the drawing, the period required and giving instructions for payment of the funds.  In the event these instructions do not stipulate that the funds must be credited to the Borrower’s current account with the Bank’s branch (the “Branch”) such instructions must be confirmed by letter to the Branch at the earliest opportunity.

 

Unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and GTS, the interest rate on each drawing will be the aggregate of the Bank’s margin of 3% per annum plus LIBOR (to be conclusively determined by the Bank and dependent upon the conditions prevailing in the London financial markets) and any mandatory costs to compensate the Bank for the cost resulting from the imposition from time to time under the Bank of England Act 1998 and/or by the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”) (or other United Kingdom governmental authorities or agencies) of a requirement to place non-interest bearing cash ratio deposits or Special Deposits (whether interest bearing or not) with the Bank of England and/or pay fees to the FSA calculated by reference to liabilities used to fund the sum) for the period of drawing.

 

Interest will be payable without deduction at the maturity of each drawing, and calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 365 day year for sterling drawings and a 360 day year for currency drawings (or if market practice differs, in accordance with the normal market practice for the relevant currency).

 

Each drawing, together with interest thereon, will be repaid on its maturity date in the currency in which such drawing is outstanding in accordance with the provisions of clause 12 of this Facility Letter.

 

23



 

SCHEDULE B

 

Sterling Overdraft

 

The Sterling Overdraft will be available on the Borrower’s current account at the Bank’s branch at 210 High Street, Hounslow, Middlesex TW3 1DL (the “Branch”) with interest charged at a rate of 1% per annum over the Bank’s Base Rate current from time to time. Interest together with other charges will be debited to the Borrower’s current account at the Branch quarterly in arrear in March, June, September and December each year or at such other times as may be determined by the Bank, and such interest will be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 365 day year (or on such other day count basis as the Bank considers is consistent with the then applicable market practice for facilities of this kind).

 

24



 

SCHEDULE C

 

Ancillary Facility - Guarantees, Bonds and Indemnities

 

The Bank is prepared to consider issuing guarantees, bonds and indemnities on behalf of any Borrower in respect of normally accepted and commercial transactions, up to a limit of £10,500,000 (ten million and five hundred thousand pounds) subject to prior agreement with the Bank and receipt of the necessary counter indemnities.

 

(Within this facility we have allocated to Barclays Frankfurt EUR2,474,976.00 to Honsberg Lamb Sonderwerkzeugmaschinen GmbH and therefore the revised sub-limit is £8,790,000 (eight million seven hundred and ninety thousand pounds).

 

Commission at the rate of 1% per annum of the principal amount of each outstanding guarantee, bond and indemnity will be payable by the relevant Borrower to the Bank, quarterly in advance.

 

25



 

SCHEDULE D

 

SFET

 

The SFET covers the maximum liability of the Borrower to the Bank outstanding at any time under contracts of not more than 12 months duration for the forward purchase or sale of foreign currency for delivery at a future date and the spot purchase or sale of foreign currencies, but excludes purchases or sales where the Bank is required irrevocably to pay away funds prior to receiving firm confirmation of incoming cover.

 

When wishing to utilize the SFET the Borrower should telephone the Bank’s dealers on 0345-231160. All payment and delivery instructions are to be advised to and processed by the Branch and confirmed by letter at the earliest opportunity.

 

26



 

SCHEDULE

 

Calculation of the Mandatory Cost

 

1.                                       The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Bank for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

 

2.                                       On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Bank shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate per annum (the “Additional Cost Rate”) in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.

 

3.                                       The Additional Cost Rate for the Bank if lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by the Bank to the Borrower as being its reasonable determination of the cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Advances made from that Facility Office.

 

4.                                       The Additional Cost Rate for the Bank if lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated as follows:

 

(a)                                  in relation to the sterling Advance:

 

AB + C(B-D) + E x 0.01

 

per cent. per annum

100 – (A + C)

 

(b)                                 in relation to an Advance in any currency other than sterling:

 

E x 0.01

 

per cent. per annum.

300

 

 

Where:

 

A                                      is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming thse to be in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ration deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ration requirements.

 

B                                        is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Bank’s margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an overdue amount, the additional rate of interest specified in clause 14.2) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Advance.

 

C                                        is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which the Bank is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

 

D                                       is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Bank on interest bearing Special Deposits.

 

27



 

E                                         is designed to compensate the Bank for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated as the rate of charge payable by the Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by the Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to the Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of the Bank.

 

5.                                       For the purposes of this Schedule:

 

(a)                                  “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

 

(b)                                 “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

 

(c)                                  “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

 

(d)                                 “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

 

6.                                       In application of the above, formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. Will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05).  A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero.  The resulting figures shall be rounded upward, if necessary, to the next 1/16%.

 

7.                                       Any determination by the Bank pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to the Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.

 

8.                                       The Bank may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower, determine and notify to the Borrower any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto.
