Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Results Of Operations --------------------- Operations ---------- Net sales for the second quarter of 2001 were $82.9 million, a 2.4 percent decrease from 2000 second quarter net sales of $84.9 million. Year to date 2001 net sales were $148.8 million, down 1.4 percent from year to date 2000 net sales of $150.9 million. The decreased sales for the quarter and year to date were primarily the result of the North American manufacturing recession and the strong dollar/weak Euro that affected European sales. The lower sales were partially offset by the inclusion of EBW, Inc. ("EBW") and Advanced Polymer Technology, Inc. ("APT") on a fully consolidated basis in 2001. EBW and APT were acquired on August 31, 2000. Cost of sales as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2001 was 72.1 percent, a decrease from 72.2 percent for the same period in 2000. Cost of sales as a percent of net sales for the year to date 2001 was 72.9 percent, a decrease from 73.0 percent for the same period in 2000. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2001 was 14.2 percent compared to 12.7 percent for the same period in 2000. Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales for the year to date 2001 was 15.6 percent compared to 14.0 percent for the year to date 2000. The increases were primarily due to the inclusion of EBW and APT in 2001. Interest expense was $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2001 compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2000. Interest expense for the year to date 2001 was $0.7 million compared to $0.6 million for the year to date 2000. Included in other income, net for the second quarter of both 2001 and 2000 was $0.2 million of interest income. Included in other income, net for the year to date 2001 was $0.4 million of interest income compared to $0.6 million of interest income for the same period in 2000. Interest income was attributable to amounts invested principally in short-term US treasury and agency securities. Foreign currency based transactions for the second quarter of 2001 produced a loss of $0.4 million compared to a $0.1 million loss for the same period in 2000. Foreign currency based transactions for the year to date 2001 produced a loss of $1.1 million compared to a $0.7 million loss for the same period in 2000. The increase in the foreign currency transaction losses was due primarily to the strong dollar and/or the weak Euro. Net income for the second quarter of 2001 was $6.6 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, a 15.0 percent decrease compared to net income of $7.8 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the same period in 2000. Year to date 2001 net income was $9.6 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, a 17.6 percent decrease compared to year to date 2000 net income of $11.7 million, or $2.07 per diluted share. 10 Capital Resources and Liquidity ------------------------------- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased $2.1 million during the first half of 2001. The principal use of cash for operating activities was the typical seasonal increase in inventories. Working capital increased $8.9 million during the first half of 2001 and the current ratio was 2.1 and 2.2 at June 30, 2001, and December 30, 2000, respectively. Pending Accounting Pronouncements --------------------------------- Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" will be published in July 2001. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Accordingly, effective the first quarter of the Company's 2002 fiscal year, amortization of goodwill will discontinue. The Company amortized $0.2 million and $0.4 million of goodwill during the second quarter and first half of 2001, respectively. "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 ---- Any forward looking statements contained herein involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, general economic and currency conditions, various conditions specific to the Company's business and industry, market demand, competitive factors, supply constraints, technology factors, government and regulatory actions, the Company's accounting policies, future trends, and other risks which are detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is mitigated through several means: maintenance of local production facilities in the markets served, invoicing of customers in the same currency as the source of the products, prompt settlement of intercompany balances utilizing a global netting system and limited use of foreign currency denominated debt. Interest rate exposure is principally limited to any marketable U.S. treasury and agency securities owned by the Company and is mitigated by the short-term, generally less than 6 months, nature of these investments.
