6 7 QUESTRON TECHNOLOGY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 NOTE 3. EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT. On March 7, 2000, the Company reached agreements with the former shareholders of Action Threaded Products, Inc. ("Action"), Capital Fasteners, Inc. ("Capital") and Olympic Fasteners and Electronic Hardware ("Olympic") whereby notes payable aggregating $5.0 million plus accrued interest were settled in exchange for 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result, the Company realized an extraordinary gain in an amount equal to the difference between the balance owed and the value of the stock exchanged. NOTE 4. LOAN AMENDMENTS. In connection with amendments to the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated debt facility (the "agreements") obtained in June 2001, the lenders waived all defaults arising from the failure to satisfy certain financial covenants at June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2001. In addition, the amendments deferred certain payments due to the lenders under the original agreements. The $5.0 million of principal payments due under the senior Term Note A in $2.5 million installments each on July 1, 2001 and October 1, 2001 have been deferred to December 28, 2001. Quarterly interest payments due to the senior subordinated lenders of $1.2 million per quarter for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and the quarter ending September 30, 2001 have been deferred until December 31, 2001. Under the agreements, the Company is required to satisfy certain financial covenants at December 31, 2001 and at each subsequent quarter end during the year ending December 31, 2002. The Company believes it will be able to satisfy the financial and other covenants included in the agreements for the year ending December 31, 2001. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the financial covenants or, in the event of noncompliance, be able to obtain appropriate amendments or waivers. In connection with the amendment to the senior subordinated debt facility, the Company issued 750,000 shares of its Mandatory Redeemable Series C Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $1.00 per share, or $750,000. This amount will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreements. NOTE 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In June 2001, the Finanancial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. 7 8 QUESTRON TECHNOLOGY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase in net income of $1.1 million ($0.12 per share) per year. During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company. 8 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE THREE MONTH AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000. The Company's results of operations through June 30, 2001 include the operating results of the Company's inventory logistics management business, Questron Distribution Logistics, Inc. ("QDL"), its master distribution of fasteners business, Integrated Material Systems, Inc. ("IMS") and its battery distribution business, Power Components, Inc. ("PCI"). The Company's revenues for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 amounted to $36.0 million and $75.8 million, respectively, compared with $41.2 million and $77.7 million for the comparable prior year periods. This decline in revenues is attributable to current economic conditions and the continued weakness in the Company's mature inventory logistics management ("ILM") programs. The effect of this weakness, however, has been offset in part by the continued maturation of the Company's recently signed ILM contracts. The Company continued to enter into new ILM programs with large OEMs in the second quarter of 2001. The implementation of such newly signed programs, together with the continued implementation of ILM programs entered into in 2000 and modest economic improvement in the second half of 2001, are expected to have a positive impact on the Company's results for 2001. The Company's operating income was $2.7 million and $7.5 million, respectively for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, compared with operating income of $5.5 million and $10.5 million for the comparable prior year periods. The decline in operating income is due to the increased expense levels to support the recently signed ILM programs at their expected sales levels. While these programs continue to grow, not all have reached their expected sales levels. The Company continues to address staffing levels, consolidate facilities where possible and eliminate all discretionary spending. In addition, the Company has completed all systems integrations and all branch operations are on-line. The Company continues to make progress towards installing its new software tools designed to more accurately predict customer demand and to help the Company more efficiently manage its inventory levels. Interest expense for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 amounted to $4.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the comparable periods of the prior year, the Company's results include interest expense of $2.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense reflects the cost of incremental borrowings associated with QDL's working capital needs, as well as the effect of the higher cost of the $17.5 million Senior Subordinated Debt incurred in November 2000. The provision for income taxes for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 reflects an effective income tax rate of 42.3% and 43.0%, respectively, compared with 41.5% for the comparable prior year periods. 9 10 Net loss for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 was $720 thousand and $183 thousand, compared with income before extraordinary gain of $1.5 million and $2.8 million for the comparable prior year periods. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with the former shareholders of Action, Capital and Olympic repaying $5 million of acquisition indebtedness, plus accrued interest, with 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $4.5 million. As a result, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $460 thousand net of applicable income taxes, for the difference between the balance owed and the value of the stock exchanged. After the extraordinary gain, the net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $1.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The decline in net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 as compared with income before extraordinary gain for the comparable prior year periods is due to increased operating expenses to support the anticipated higher levels of sales from recently signed ILM programs, which have not reached expected sales levels as of June 30, 2001, as well as increased interest expense. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $732 thousand in cash, compared to $358 thousand as of December 31, 2000. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $66.3 million, compared with working capital of $62.2 million as of December 31, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net cash used in the Company's operating activities amounted to $6.0 million, principally reflecting an increase in inventories and a decrease in accounts payable, offset in part by a decrease in accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net cash used in the Company's investing activities amounted to $1.7 million, including $91 thousand of additional net cash consideration paid for RSD Sales Company, Inc. and $1.6 million of capital expenditures for the acquisition of fixed assets, principally for the initial payments on the $2.5 million capital expenditure associated with the implementation of additional supply chain management software tools. Other than the remaining $1.7 million associated with these software tools, the Company does not have significant commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2001 and no significant commitments are anticipated for the remainder of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net cash provided by the Company's financing activities amounted to $8.1 million, consisting principally of $8.5 million of bank borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. In connection with amendments to the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated debt facility (the "Amendments") obtained as of June 30, 2001, the lenders waived all defaults arising from the failure to satisfy certain financial covenants at June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2001. In addition, the Amendments deferred certain payments due to the lenders under the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated debt facility. The $5.0 million of principal payments due under the senior credit facility in $2.5 million installments each on July 1, 2001 and October 1, 2001 have been deferred to December 28, 2001. Quarterly interest payments due to the senior 10 11 subordinated lenders of $1.2 million per quarter for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and the quarter ending September 30, 2001 have been deferred until December 31, 2001. The amendment to the senior subordinated debt facility provides that if Net Transaction Proceeds from a Transaction sufficient to provide for the Retirement have not been received and applied, on or before December 31, 2001, to the Retirement, then the Company shall pay to each holder of the senior subordinated notes on January 2, 2002 a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the aggregate principal amount of the notes held by such holder on December 31, 2001. For the purposes of this provision, "Retirement" means the full and final payment in full in cash, and retirement, of: (a) all obligations on the senior secured credit facility, and any and all expenses or disbursements related thereto or any other obligations owing to the holders thereof; (b) the principal, interest, premium, if any, and any other obligations whatsoever to the holders of any other senior debt; and (c) all the obligations on the senior subordinated debt facility, and any and all expenses or disbursements related thereto or any other obligations owing to the holders thereof. In addition, "Transaction" means any sale of the Company or a subsidiary (whether structured in the form of a sale of stock held by the existing holders of the Common Stock, a sale of all or substantially all of the property of the Company or a subsidiary or a merger or consolidation of any of the Company or a subsidiary with any other person), any recapitalization or refinancing or any other transaction which, if consummated, would result in Net Transaction Proceeds becoming available to fully consummate the Retirement on or prior to December 31, 2001. Under the Amendments, the Company is required to satisfy certain financial covenants at December 31, 2001 and at each subsequent quarter end during the year ending December 31, 2002. The Company believes it will be able to satisfy the financial and other covenants included in the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated debt facility, as amended, for the year ending December 31, 2001. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the financial covenants or, in the event of noncompliance, be able to obtain appropriate amendments or waivers. In connection with the amendment to the senior subordinated debt facility, the Company issued 750,000 shares of its Mandatory Redeemable Series C Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $1.00 per share, or $750,000. This amount will be amortized over the remaining term of the agreement. Promptly following the closing of a Transaction (as that term is defined in the Amendment with respect to the Company's 14.5% Senior Subordinated Notes) resulting in the Retirement (as such term is defined in such Amendment), the Company shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, redeem all, but not part, of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock by paying in cash therefor $1.00 per share. See Part II, Item 2, "Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds" for a description of the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. 11 12 The Company intends to continue to identify and evaluate potential merger and acquisition candidates engaged in businesses complementary to its business. While certain of such additional potential acquisition opportunities are at various stages of consideration and evaluation, none is at any definitive stage at this time. The Company believes that its working capital, funds available under its senior secured credit facility, and funds generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its obligations through 2001, including the amounts due under the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated debt facility due on December 31, 2001, but excluding cash requirements associated with any business acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make all of the payments due under the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated debt facility on December 31, 2001 or, if it is unable to do so, be able to obtain appropriate amendments or waivers. The Company continues to work with Credit Suisse First Boston exploring strategic alternatives that the Company hopes will aid the Company in realizing its potential for growth and in maximizing value for its stockholders. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in the U.S. rates may effect the interest paid on a portion of its debt. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments. 12 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Not applicable. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS In connection with amendments to the senior secured credit facility obtained as of June 30, 2001, the Company issued 750,000 shares of its Mandatory Redeemable Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock"), with a liquidation value of $1.00 per share (the "Series C Liquidation Amount"), to the lenders under the senior secured credit facility. Promptly following the closing of a Transaction (as that term is defined in the Amendment with respect to the Company's 14.5% Senior Subordinated Notes) resulting in the Retirement (as such term is defined in such Amendment), the Company shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, redeem all, but not part, of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock by paying in cash therefore $1.00 per share plus any dividends declared and payable to the Series C Preferred Stock but not yet paid. Beginning on July 1, 2002, each share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series C Liquidation Amount divided by the average of the closing price per share of Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market (or if transactions in the Common Stock are not then reported by the Nasdaq National Market, as reported by such exchange or automatic quotation system then reporting transactions in such shares) for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery of the notice of conversion. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution provisions. In lieu of completing any such conversion, the Company may instead redeem Series C Preferred Stock submitted for conversion by paying the Series C Liquidation Amount in cash with respect to such Series C Preferred Stock. Any such redemption, however, would be subject to the provisions of the Company's debt obligations restricting the redemption of the Company's capital stock. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders except that the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of shares representing at least a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, acting as a separate class: (i) in any manner authorize or create any class of capital stock ranking, either as to payment of dividends, distribution of assets or redemption, prior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock; or (ii) in any manner alter or change the designations, powers, preferences or rights or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series C Preferred Stock. The issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as an issuance not involving any public offering. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable. 13 14 ITEM 4.
