See accompanying notes. - 5 - 6 MOORE-HANDLEY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997 IS UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Moore-Handley, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 27, 1998. The financial information presented herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. 2. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and net income. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive employee stock options and net income. Basic and diluted earnings per share were the same for the first three quarters of 1997 and 1998. 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped. - 6 - 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company has incurred special expenses of approximately $160,000 during the third quarter and $360,000 during the nine months for activities including resetting the warehouse, programming expenses related to the year 2000 and the start-up of two new businesses; a commercial and industrial division to be operated in conjunction with the Company's hardware customers and a paint and paint sundries division. In addition, the Company has absorbed substantial expense in reprogramming its "Sales Helper" electronic ordering system to a Windows platform and installing a radio-frequency, bar-code electronic stocking and picking system in the warehouse. These expenses were offset in part by a special gain of $177,000 realized on the sale of equipment in the second quarter. Some of these expenses are expected to continue in the fourth quarter without any offsetting gains. As discussed below, a change in the timing of the third quarter Dealers Mart had a negative impact on the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. NET SALES Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 decreased 3.2% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The regular third quarter Dealers' Mart was held late in the quarter and most of the orders for both warehouse and factory direct shipments will not be shipped until the fourth quarter. In 1997 the mart was held earlier and a large portion of the mart orders were shipped in the third quarter. As a result, there was a decrease of 11.7% in factory direct shipments in this years third quarter which was partially offset by an increase of 2.0% in warehouse shipments. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, net sales were up 3.5% compared to the prior year period. Warehouse shipments increased 3.9% and factory direct shipments increased 2.7%. As shown below, factory direct shipments decreased as a percent of total sales for the third quarter and nine months due to the timing of the third quarter Dealers' Mart. The following table sets forth the major elements of net sales:
Three Months Ended September 30, ------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 ---------------------- ---------------------- (dollars in thousands) Net Sales: Warehouse shipments ................................ $ 25,425 65.6% $ 24,931 62.3% Factory direct shipments ........................... 13,304 34.4 15,069 37.7 -------- ----- -------- ----- Net Sales ...................................... $ 38,729 100.0% $ 40,000 100.0% ======== ===== ======== =====

(0.4)% 0.2% (0.1)% (1.2)% ===== ===== ===== =====
GROSS MARGIN The gross margin percentage for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased 0.8% compared to the same quarter last year and for the nine months increased by 0.6% compared to the prior year. The increase is due to a new pricing program begun late in 1997, lower cost merchandise as the Company has taken advantage of special buying opportunities offered by suppliers and, in the third quarter of 1998, the decrease in factory direct shipments as a percentage of total sales stemming from the late scheduling of the Dealers Mart. The following table sets forth the gross margin dollars, gross margin percentages and year-over-year changes for 1997 and the first three quarters of 1998:
Increase (Decrease) vs. Same Quarter Gross Margin in Previous Year - -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Quarter (in thousands) of Sales (in thousands) Points - ---------- -------------- ---------- -------------- ---------- 1997 - 1st $5,511 14.6 $(402) (0.7) 2nd 5,394 15.2 (421) (1.0) 3rd 5,843 14.6 (112) (0.6) 4th 5,354 16.5 (327) (1.3) 1998 - 1st 6,066 15.0 $ 555 0.4 2nd 6,037 15.9 643 0.7 3rd 5,960 15.4 117 0.8
- 8 - 9 WAREHOUSE AND DELIVERY EXPENSES Warehouse and delivery expense for the third quarter increased $93,000, or 4.0% compared to the same quarter last year. In the third quarter of 1997 warehouse and delivery expense was reduced by a gain of $84,000 on sale of equipment. Expense for the first nine months of 1998 was reduced $177,000 by a similar gain recorded in the second quarter. The 1998 quarter and nine months included $75,000 and $175,000, respectively, of expense related to resetting the warehouse in order to reduce warehouse expense. Resetting expenses in the same periods of 1997 were $25,000 and $36,000, respectively. The Company expects the resetting to be largely completed by year-end. During 1998 a warehouse stocking and picking system which utilizes radio-frequency transmission between the warehouse and the Company's central computer has been designed and substantially installed. Although the development, installation and training have been costly, the system is beginning to have a positive impact on our warehouse operations. The following table sets forth the trend in warehouse and delivery expenses in 1997 and the first three quarters of 1998:
Increase (Decrease) Warehouse and Delivery vs. Same Quarter Expenses in Previous Year - --------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Percentage Amount of Warehouse Amount Percentage Quarter (in thousands) Sales (in thousands) Points - ---------- -------------- ------------ -------------- ---------- 1997 - 1st $2,294 9.4 $ 91 0.9 2nd 2,470 10.3 (125) 0.2 3rd 2,329 9.3 (374) (1.0) 4th 2,393 11.0 (14) 0.5 1998 - 1st 2,254 9.0 $(40) (0.4) 2nd 2,220 8.7 (250) (1.6) 3rd 2,422 9.5 93 .2
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE Selling and administrative expense for the quarter increased $146,000, or 6.3% and for the nine months decreased $137,000, or 1.3% compared to the same periods of last year. In 1997, severance pay accruals of $365,000 were made in the first six months. No similar expenses occurred in 1998, although expenses of about $88,000 and $185,000, related to new business startups and year 2000 compliance were incurred in the 1998 third quarter and first nine months, respectively. The following table sets forth the trend in selling and administrative expenses in 1997 and the first three quarters of 1998. - 9 - 10
Increase (Decrease) Selling and Administrative vs. Same Quarter Expense in Previous Year - --------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Quarter (in thousands) of Sales (in thousands) Points - ---------- -------------- ------------ -------------- ---------- 1997 - 1st $3,497 9.2 $ 158 0.6 2nd 3,528 10.0 (204) (0.4) 3rd 3,212 8.0 (381) (1.1) 4th 3,468 10.7 (8) (0.2) 1998 - 1st $3,374 8.3 $(123) (0.9) 2nd 3,367 8.9 (161) (0.1) 3rd 3,358 8.6 146 0.6
INTEREST EXPENSE Average borrowings increased in 1998 in order to finance higher average receivables and inventories, (See Liquidity and Capital Resources). As a result, interest expense for the third quarter and first nine months increased $96,000, or 40.7% and $317,000, or 43.2% respectively, compared to the same periods last year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Although the Company's net trade receivables at September 30, 1998 decreased $2,557,000 or 10.1%, from September 30, 1997 because of lower third quarter sales, the year-to-date average outstanding receivables have been higher than the prior year. The increase is due to the generally higher level of sales and to additional extended dating terms given to customers as part of sales promotions. Inventories at September 30, 1998 are $1,865,000 or 11.0% higher than at December 31, 1997 and $3,973,000 or 26.6% higher than at September 30, 1997. The increase in inventories is due in part to additional quantities on hand for shipment of Dealer Mart orders in October. The Company has also taken advantage of special forward buying opportunities offered by suppliers. Trade payables increased $5,516,000 or 30.9% from December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998 because of extended terms received from suppliers and the higher inventory level. At September 30, 1998 the Company had unused lines of credit of $8,069,000. In September 1998, the Company increased its line of credit by $5,000,000 to be assured of adequate working capital to finance future growth. The employee stock purchase plan approved at the last stockholder's meeting was implemented during the third quarter. About a third of the Company's employees subscribed for a total of 128,000 shares to be paid for by payroll deductions. Another 112,000 shares were subscribed for by employees with a three year interest bearing note for the purchase price in exchange for a like number of outstanding stock options. - 10 - 11 The requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ National Market on which the Company's Common Stock trades have been changed. The Company does not meet the new requirements and on September 22 NASDAQ rejected the Company's request for a temporary exemption and proposed instead that trading of the Company's Common Stock be done on their Small Cap Market. The Company has requested a hearing on its request for a waiver to permit continued trading on the National Market. If trading of the Company's Common Stock is transferred to the Small Cap Market there could be an adverse effect on the Company's ability to raise equity capital in the future. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Company is in the process of modifying or replacing those portions of its software which are used in the ordinary course of the Company's business so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates of the year 2000 and thereafter. Based on its current assessment of which portions of the software must be modified, the Company estimates the cost of year 2000 project will be approximately $60,000, of which $20,000 has been expended through the end of the third quarter 1998. The Company anticipates that the required modifications will be largely completed by December 31, 1998 and does not anticipate any material interruption of its business stemming from the failure of its software to be year 2000 compliant. The Company has made an assessment of the year 2000 compliance of most of its embedded microchips and other micro-processors in the non-information technology equipment that it uses in its operations. The Company anticipates that it will be able to repair or replace non-year 2000 compliant equipment as may become necessary without material disruption to it operations. Even though the Company is in the process of converting its computer system so that it will be year 2000 compliant, it is possible that third parties with whom the Company does business will encounter problems with their computer systems that may have an adverse impact on the Company. The Company has not ascertained the year 2000 compliance of the approximately 1,400 suppliers of the products it distributes. However, no supplier accounts for more than 3.6% of the Company's total purchases and substantially all products of the type distributed by the Company are available from a number of manufacturers. The Company has no contingency plan for addressing possible disruptions in utility service to the Company stemming from year 2000 problems, such as power, telephone and the like, but anticipates that those suppliers will address their year 2000 issues in a timely manner so as to avoid a material disruption of service to the Company. The Company is unable to predict with any certainty the reasonable worst case scenario for disruption to its operations stemming from year 2000 issues. These could range from minor disruption of its operations requiring temporary work-around solutions that may involve additional overtime or other unanticipated costs, to the potential for lost sales and additional costs to repair or replace equipment if the Company encounters greater disruption than is currently anticipated. INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the financial statements and other statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. The use of words such as "expects" and "believes" indicate the presence of forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management. Among the - 11 - 12 factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements are the following: -competitive pressures on sales and pricing, including those from other wholesale distributors and those from retailers in competition with the Company's customers; -the Company's ability to achieve projected cost savings from its warehouse modernization program and ongoing cost reduction efforts; -changes in cost of goods and the effect of differential terms and conditions available to larger competitors of the Company; -uncertainties associated with any acquisition the Company may seek to implement; - changes in general economic conditions; - impact of year 2000 on the Company's information systems and those of its customers and suppliers; - uncertainties relating to the Companies new businesses. While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition in connection with its preparation of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contained in its quarterly and annual reports, the Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced in light of future events. - 12 - 13 ITEM 6.
