NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) The information contained herein with respect to September 30, 1997 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, has not been audited but was prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and policies described in the ERC Industries, Inc. (the "Company") annual report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 1996. Included are all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. (2) Supplemental Cash Flow Information: In connection with the Barton Wood acquisition in late 1993, the Company leased, and has an option to purchase, certain equipment from the Barton lenders ("Lessors") at any time during the term of the lease, which extends through February, 1998. The Company exercised a portion of this purchase option in February 1997 for $800,000. This purchase was partially financed with the issuance of a $705,000 note payable to the seller. In addition, the acquisition of Church Oil Tools, Inc. (see Note 3) was partially financed through $4,000,000 of promissory notes to the sellers. (3) Acquisitions: On September 27, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Seaboard Lloyd Limited ("Seaboard"), a private company incorporated in Scotland under the Companies Acts of the United Kingdom in a privately negotiated transaction. The Company paid a purchase price of $1,580,000 cash for the issued share capital of Seaboard. The source of the funds for the purchase was approximately $1,080,000 in cash on hand and $500,000 borrowed under the Company's existing bank credit facility. On July 14, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Church Oil Tools, Inc. ("Church"). Church is a Houston, Texas, based manufacturer serving the drilling equipment market. Church produces and sells blow out preventers, high pressure valves and specialized engineering services. Its customers include drilling contractors, rental tool companies and other related oilfield service companies. Church operates in substantially the same manner as it operated prior to the acquisition, and the two principal stockholders of Church entered into employment agreements with the Company in connection with the transaction. Church's business is now being conducted through a new business unit of the Company called Wood Group Drilling Products. -5- In connection with the transaction, the Company paid the Church stockholders a purchase price consisting of $1,000,000 borrowed under the Company's existing domestic credit facility and $4,000,000 in promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum until maturity in July 2001. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the stockholders up to an additional $1,000,000 in the event that Church's average of the earnings in 1999 and 2000 exceeded certain thresholds. The purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):
Cash $1,152 Accounts Receivable 939 Inventory 566 Property, plant and equipment 772 Excess cost over net assets acquired 2,934 Accounts Payable (809) Long-term debt (502) Accrued Expenses (52) ------ $5,000 ======
The operating results of Seaboard and Church are included in operations from their respective dates of acquisition. The following represents the pro- forma results of operations as if the acquisitions of Seaboard and Church had occurred on January 1, 1996 (in thousands, except per share data):
Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 September 30, 1996 ------------------ ------------------ Revenues $ 60,958 $ 44,746 Net income (loss) 2,252 (1,159) Net income (loss) per share .10 (.07)
(4) Common Stock Issuance: On September 7, 1997, John Wood Group PLC invested $10,000,000 in the Company through the purchase of 6,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.60 per share. This money was used to pay down the line of credit, and will allow the Company to pursue growth opportunities. (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", was issued. This statement, which is required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, established standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock. This statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will have no impact on the financial statements. -6- In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued. This statement, which is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 1998, established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Management has not yet determined the impact of this standard on the financial statements. (6) The Company negotiated a new domestic $10,000,000 line of credit with its bank in June, 1997. The line has substantially the same terms as the Company's previous line of credit and expires in June, 1998. -7- ERC INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Industry wide, the average active domestic rig count as reported by Baker Hughes Incorporated, a leading industry observer, was up 22.4% to 925 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared with 756 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The average active rig count is an important indicator of activity levels in the market in which the Company operates. The Company's revenues increased by $8,904,000 to $22,208,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $13,304,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. In addition, the Company's nine month revenues increased by $21,314,000 (61.0%) to $56,263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from $34,949,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in revenues is principally due to increased activity with existing customers as a result of higher drilling activity, additional sales attributable to the acquisition of Church and increased international sales volume, including sales by Seaboard. The gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased by $2,424,000 to $5,484,000 from $3,060,000 for the same period last year. The gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by $5,432,000 to $13,457,000 from $8,025,000 for the same period in 1996. The gross profit percentage was 23.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with 23.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to outsourcing of manufacturing at lower costs and change in product mix largely arising from the acquisitions of Seaboard and Church. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,691,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The same expenses increased by $4,034,000 to $10,940,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $6,906,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The primary reasons for the increase is the addition of Seaboard and Church, costs associated with international marketing efforts and additional sales personnel. The selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was 19.4% in the first nine months of 1997, compared with 19.8% for the first nine months of 1996. The Company generated operating income of $1,396,000 and $2,517,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with operating income of $663,000 and $1,119,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in operating income was due to increased sales volume which was partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses. Other (income) expense increased by $338,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 over the same period in 1996. Likewise, there was a $520,000 increase for the nine month period. This was principally due to an increase in interest expense as a result of higher inventory and receivables levels which required an increase in borrowing from the company's line of credit through most of 1997. -8- The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 resulted in an expense of $731,000 and $370,000, respectively, and an expense of $438,000 and $272,000 respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources On September 7, 1997, John Wood Group PLC invested $10,000,000 in the Company through the purchase of 6,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.60 per share. This money was used to pay down the line of credit, and will be used for future acquisitions. Working capital increased by $10,109,000 to $22,208,000 at September 30, 1997 compared with $12,099,000 at December 31, 1996. The increase was due primarily to increased accounts receivables and inventory resulting from increased sales and sales demand. This increase was partially offset by a $2,190,000 increase in current liabilities. This relatively small growth in current liabilities was achieved through utilization of the net proceeds of the common stock issuance for retirement of debt outstanding on the line of credit. Pursuant to the Company's long-term debt agreements, approximately $6,468,000 in principal payments are due over the next twelve months. The Company believes its line of credit facility, combined with anticipated cash flow from operations, will be adequate to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company currently anticipates incurring capital expenditures of approximately $3,500,000 through 1997, principally for machine tools, the purchase of its building and equipment in Shawnee, Oklahoma, which is currently being leased, vehicles, and computer equipment. The Company expects to fund these expenditures from future cash provided by operations, notes payable, and from the Company's line of credit facility. The Company negotiated a new $10,000,000 line of credit in June 1997 that expires in June 1998. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", was issued. This statement, which is required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, established standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock. This statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the financial statements. In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued. This statement, which is required to be adopted in the first quarter of 1998, established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Management has not yet determined the impact of this standard on the financial statements. -9- Acquisition On July 14, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Church Oil Tools, Inc. ("Church"). Church is a Houston, Texas, based manufacturer serving the drilling equipment market. Church produces and sells blow out preventers, high pressure valves and specialized engineering services. Its customers include drilling contractors, rental tool companies and other related oilfield service companies. Church operates in substantially the same manner as it operated prior to the acquisition, and the two principal stockholders of Church entered into employment agreements with the Company in connection with the transaction. Church's business has been conducted through a new business unit of the Company called Wood Group Drilling Products. In connection with the transaction, the Company paid the Church stockholders a purchase price consisting of $1,000,000 in cash borrowed under the Company's existing credit facility and $4,000,000 in promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum until maturity in July 2001. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the stockholders up to an additional $1,000,000 in the event that Church's average earnings in 1999 and 2000 exceed certain thresholds. -10- Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
