Interim Financial Information The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2000. Operating results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. 2. Basic Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 3,048,434 and 3,006,687, respectively. THE YORK WATER COMPANY Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition Over the past several months management has been evaluating the classification of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred regulatory assets and liabilities. Several components of these accounts have been reclassified which resulted in significant changes when compared to prior financial reporting periods. These reclassifications have not affected current year income tax expense or net income. Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Water operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $154,614 or 3.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in customers in the residential classification. The commercial and industrial classifications also showed an increase in customers and consumption for the second quarter of 2001 compared to the second quarter 2000, but to a lesser extent. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2001 increased $223,290 or 8.8% compared to the same period in 2000. A significant increase in pension expenses, increased main and water treatment facility maintenance, and higher worker's compensation and liability insurance costs were the primary reasons for the increase. These increases were partially offset by reduced public utility realty taxes due to a lower tax base and rate. Interest on short-term bank loans increased $31,281 for the three months ended June 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 due to an increase in short-term debt outstanding in 2001. The average daily short-term debt outstanding in 2001 and 2000 was $3,665,216 and $1,097,262, respectively. Other income, net increased by $27,730 during the second quarter 2001 compared to second quarter 2000, due to increased interest income on water district notes driven by an increase in customers. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Water operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $148,889 or 1.6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. Most of the increase resulted from residential growth, however each class showed a net increase in customers. Operating expenses for the first six months of 2001 increased $183,522 or 3.6% compared to the same period in 2000. The main reasons for the increase were higher maintenance costs associated with water pumping and treatment equipment and facilities, increased depreciation due to additional plant investment, increased liability and worker's compensation insurance premiums, higher pension expenses, and Nasdaq fees. These increases were partially offset by reduced public utility realty taxes, and reduced main and service line maintenance due to the completion of the highway relocation project in 2000. Interest on long-term debt increased $20,024 through June 2001 compared to June 2000 due to the remarketing of the 5% Industrial Development Bonds in July 2000 at a rate of 6%. Interest on short-term bank loans increased $60,137 for the first half of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 due to an increase in short-term debt outstanding in 2001. The average daily short-term debt outstanding in 2001 and 2000 was $3,386,781 and $1,098,059, respectively. Federal and state income taxes for the period ended June 30, 2001 were $38,053 or 4.0% lower than the period ended June 30, 2000 due to lower taxable income. The effective tax rate was 35.3% for the period. Rate Developments Within the last several years the Company has filed written applications for rate increases with the PPUC and has been granted rate relief as a result of such requests. The most recent request was filed on March 20, 2001 seeking a $2,039,790 or 11.1% rate increase. The active parties have reached an agreement of $800,000 pending approval of the Administrative Law Judge and the PPUC. Increased rates will become effective following these approvals. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the first six months of 2001, the per capita volume of water sold declined in the industrial class primarily due to the loss of a large industrial customer who closed its operation in December 2000. The per capita volume of water sold did not change significantly in the other customer classifications. This closing will reduce industrial revenues for the remainder of the year unless the vacated industrial sites are re-occupied with large operations. The Company does not anticipate any further change in the level of water usage which would have a material impact on future results of operations. During the first half of 2001, the Company had $4,082,107 of construction expenditures. The Company financed such expenditures through internally generated funds, customers' advances, short-term borrowings, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan (stock issued in lieu of cash dividends) and employee stock purchase plan. During the first half of 2001, net cash provided by operating activities equaled net cash used in investing and financing activities. The Company anticipates that during the remainder of 2001 net cash used in investing and financing activities will again equal net cash provided by operating activities. Borrowings against the Company's lines of credit, proceeds from the issuance of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan (stock issued in lieu of cash dividends) and employee stock purchase plan, customers' advances, and a stock subscription are expected to be used to satisfy the need for additional cash. As of June 30, 2001, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3,032,512. Short-term borrowings from lines of credit as of June 30, 2001 were $4,339,761. The Company maintains lines of credit aggregating $19,000,000. Loans granted under these lines of credit bear interest based on the prime or Libor rates plus basis points, as defined. The Company is not required to maintain compensating balances on its lines of credit. During the next quarter, the Company will be extending to its shareholders of record on June 30, 2001, the right to subscribe for an aggregate of 120,000 shares of Common Stock. Shareholders may purchase, at the price of $23.61 per share, one additional share for each twenty-five shares held of record. The proceeds of the stock subscription, approximately $2.8 million if all shares are purchased, will be used to repay short-term borrowings. Subscription rights expire on September 10, 2001. Over the past several years, the Company and an outside consultant have been evaluating the source of supply. Studies indicate that a new source will be needed by 2006. Available options have been analyzed, and the Company has decided on a pipeline from the Susquehanna River to Lake Redman. This alternative had the lowest cost, provided expandability, and was the best for the environment. The Company plans to build an intake and a pump station on its land at Long Level in Lower Windsor Township, York County. The water would then be pumped 13 miles through a 30 inch diameter pipe and released into Lake Redman. The cost of this project is estimated at $18 to $20 million. Funds will be raised through a combination of debt and equity issues. While the permitting process will begin in 2001, major expenditures are not expected until after 2002. Forward Looking Information Certain statements contained herein and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements address activities or events which the Company expects will or may occur in the future. The Company cautions that a number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made on behalf of the Company. The Company is subject to various federal and state regulations concerning water quality and environmental standards. In addition, the water industry is generally dependent on the adequacy of approved rates to allow for a fair rate of return on the investment in utility plant. The Company's profitability also depends on the timeliness of rate relief and numerous factors over which it has little or no control, such as the quantity of rainfall, temperature, industrial demand, financing costs, energy rates, and environmental and water quality regulations. The Company filed a settlement of its pending rate case with the PPUC. This settlement, which is joined in by all active parties, provides for an increase in annual revenues of $800,000. The settlement must be approved by the presiding Administrative Law Judge Wayne Weismandel and the PPUC before increased rates become effective. The settlement should be finalized over the next few months. The Company also anticipates a new bulk water customer, Stewartstown Borough Authority, will come on line during the remainder of 2001. As far as operating expenses, the Company expects energy costs to rise, pension expenses to continue as in the first half of the year, and public utility realty taxes to decrease substantially as the Commonwealth reappportions the tax amongst the various utilities. The useful lives of some of the Company's utility plant are expected to be extended as a result of the rate settlement, thereby reducing depreciation expense for 2001 and subsequent years. The Company will continue to keep operating costs at the lowest possible level. THE YORK WATER COMPANY Part II - Other Information Item 4.
