The Company General. The information contained in this report is unaudited but, in management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included and were of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with Bell National Corporation's (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. Bell National Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary Payne Fabrics, Inc. ("Payne") is a designer and distributor of decorative drapery and upholstery fabrics. Payne was acquired by Bell National Corporation on June 15, 1990. ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations The Company's revenues and expenses result from the operations of Payne Fabrics, Inc. Quarter Ended March 31, 1997 The Company had net sales of $2,574,000, cost of goods sold of $1,359,000, selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,342,000 and an operating loss of $127,000 during the first quarter of 1997. The operating loss was reduced by interest expense of $55,000 and other expense of $10,000 resulting in a net loss of $192,000. Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 The Company had net sales of $3,167,000, cost of goods sold of $1,683,000, selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,491,000 and an operating loss of $7,000 during the first quarter of 1996. The operating loss was increased by interest expense of $72,000 and reduced by other income of $5,000 resulting in a net loss of $74,000. Comparison Of First Quarter 1997 Results To 1996 The sales for the first quarter of 1997 decreased by $593,000 compared to the corresponding period in 1996. All fabric and workroom categories experienced declines. Sales continue to be weak in most markets and management does not expect a dramatic change in the recent declining sales trend. The gross profit percentage increased by 0.3% from 46.9% in 1996 to 47.2% in 1997. The resulting $269,000 decrease in gross profit during the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1996, was partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $149,000. As a result of the above, 1997 operating income decreased by $120,000 during the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1996. 8 Interest expense decreased $17,000 from $72,000 in 1996 to $55,000 in 1997 as a result of a lower average bank debt balance. Other income decreased from $15,000 in 1996 to an expense of $10,000 in 1997. The Company had a net loss of $192,000 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to a net loss of $74,000 for the same period in 1996. The loss per share in the first quarter of 1997 was $0.03 and $0.01 in 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources Available Resources. The Company has in place a cash management system where the net cash generated by operations is used to reduce bank debt. The reduction of outstanding bank debt provides the Company with a greater reduction in interest expense than could be offset with interest income from alternative investments. In the absence of such a system, the Company would continue to use excess funds to immediately reduce bank debt. A review of the financial statements, summary data, working capital and discussion of liquidity must take into consideration the fact that the Company does not maintain any cash balances in any of its accounts by design. Working capital needs, when they arise, are met by daily borrowings. Future Needs For and Sources of Capital. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company generated $169,000 of cash from operations. Although the Company experienced a loss of $192,000 in the period, there were $321,000 of non-cash expenses included in the loss, primarily amortization of deferred sample books. These two items, together with decreased current assets of $66,000 and decreased liabilities of $26,000 created the cash from operations. These funds were used to purchase $164,000 of sample books and to pay down bank debt by $5,000. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company generated $452,000 of cash from operations. Although the Company experienced a loss of $74,000 in the period, there were $313,000 of non-cash expenses included in the loss, primarily amortization of deferred sample books. These two items, together with decreased current assets of $331,000 and decreased liabilities of $118,000 created the cash from operations. These funds were used to purchase $2,000 of fixed assets, $273,000 of sample books and to pay down bank debt by $177,000. During 1996 and continuing in 1997, the Company did not meet certain covenants of the existing loan facility with Bank One, Dayton, National Association. The quarterly principal installments due after September 1, 1996 have not been made, all interest payments are current. The Company has been in discussions with Bank one, Dayton, National Association related to the Revolving Credit Agreement. The outcome of these discussions are unknown and the Company has therefore classified all amounts owing to the Bank as current liabilities reflecting the Banks ability to require payment of the loan.
