See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. page 6 of 11 7 METATEC INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. Basis of presentation - The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month periods then ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2000 annual report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Income taxes - In 2001, a valuation allowance has been provided to offset a portion of the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of such assets. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $21,049,000, a decrease of $6,589,000, or 24% over the same period of the prior year. This decrease resulted primarily from CD-ROM manufacturing sales decreasing $6,328,000 to $19,651,000 for the three months ended, or 24%. This decrease was due to several factors. The pricing for CD-ROM products and services continued to decline or remained at low levels industry-wide due to excess manufacturing capacity, a trend the Company anticipates will continue for the remainder of 2001. In addition, the demand for the Company's CD-ROM products and services declined due to several factors, including a decline in general economic conditions which caused many of the Company's software customers to delay or reduce their software page 7 of 11 8 releases, the continued increase in customers using on-line or electronic methods to distribute information, and the continued maturation of the CD-ROM market. The Company anticipates that these factors may continue to negatively impact the demand for the Company's CD-ROM products and services for the remainder of 2001. Radio syndication sales decreased $456,000, or 54%, to $386,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, primarily as a result of some customers choosing to use CD-Recordable as a distribution method for smaller size orders. The Company expects this trend to continue for the foreseeable future. DVD sales accounted for $613,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $489,000 for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit was 27% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to 30% of net sales for the same period of the prior year. This reduction was primarily caused by reduced utilization of the Company's manufacturing capacity. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6,648,000, or 32% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $6,987,000, or 25% of net sales, for same period of the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily caused by the 24% decrease in net sales in relation to a 5% decrease in SG&A expenses. Restructuring expenses of $110,000 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2001. These restructuring expenses consisted primarily of severance and termination benefits related to the U.S. workforce reduction of approximately 6%. The workforce reduction was accomplished through attrition, unfilled vacancies, and layoffs of temporary and some full time employees. Restructuring expenses of $430,000 related to U.S. workforce reductions of approximately 12% were incurred for the same period in the prior year. Investment income was $35,000 and $11,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $947,000 as compared to $1,056,000 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in interest expense was due to decreased borrowings under revolving loan and term loan facilities, as well as decreases in interest rates. No income tax benefit was realized for the three months ended March 31, 2001, due to the uncertainty of realizing the value of such benefit. In the prior year a $136,000 income tax benefit was realized resulting in an effective tax rate of 45%. Based upon the foregoing, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,927,000, or net loss per basic or diluted common share of $.31, as compared to a net loss in the same period of the prior year of $168,000, or net loss per basic or diluted common share of $.03. FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company financed its business during the three months ended March 31, 2001 through cash generated from operations, the use of debt, and the use of available cash balances. Cash flow from operating activities was $1,930,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $3,385,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,846,000 as of March 31, 2001. page 8 of 11 9 The Huntington National Bank and Bank One, NA have provided a $37,000,000 term loan facility and a $13,000,000 revolving loan facility to the Company (the "Credit Facilities"). As of March 31, 2001, $12,958,000 and $10,950,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility and the revolving loan facility, respectively. On April 2, 2001, the banks and the Company amended certain terms and financial covenants of the Credit Facilities. The following is a summary of the terms of the amended Credit Facilities. As part of the amended Credit Facilities, the revolving loan and the term loan will mature on April 1, 2002. The revolving loan has been changed to an asset based lending arrangement wherein a $13,000,000 borrowing base will be limited by the amounts of any outstanding letters of credit and 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable, 80% of eligible insured foreign accounts receivable, 30% of eligible domestic inventory, and 20% of domestic machinery and equipment at net book value, eligibility to be determined by the banks. The Credit Facilities are secured by a first lien on all non-real estate business assets of the Company and a pledge of the stock of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company is required to comply with certain financial and other covenants In addition, effective March 31, 2001, interest accrues at 2% in excess of the prime rate of the banks, and quarterly commitment fees are required to be paid. The Company expects that it will be able to negotiate a new borrowing facility prior to April 1, 2002, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The Company has a $19,000,000 loan facility with Huntington Capital Corp which is payable in monthly principal and interest payments based upon a thirty year amortization schedule and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.2%. This term loan facility was used to permanently finance the Company's new Dublin, Ohio distribution center and to pay down other bank debt. This loan facility is payable in monthly installments over 10 years, with a 30 year amortization period, and is secured by a first lien on all real property of the Company and letters of credit in favor of the lender, in an aggregate amount of $1,650,000. Management believes that current cash balances, plus the funds available under its current credit facilities, plus cash to be generated from future operations should provide sufficient capital to meet the current business needs of the Company. During the first quarter 2001, the Company's board of directors approved a plan to restructure certain of the Company's operations. As part of the plan, the Company implemented a workforce reduction for its Dublin facility during the first quarter of 2001, and the Company expects to implement other portions of this plan during the remainder of 2001.
