In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indications of results for a full year. For further financial information, refer to the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2000, included in the Company's Form 10-K for that period. Business Acquisitions --------------------- In November 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of Orange Coast Datacomm, Inc., Orange Coast Cabling, Inc. and Go Telecomm, Inc., collectively known as Orange Coast, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $17.7 million, which included an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $9.0 million. Orange Coast, which reported sales of approximately $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, provided comprehensive end-to-end voice and data network solutions to major corporations from offices in Irvine and Santa Clara, California. In June 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Advacom, Inc. (Advacom) for a cash purchase price of $33.0 million plus the assumption of approximately $21.8 million of interest bearing obligations which were retired on the day of closing. Advacom was a Pennsylvania based distributor of electronic connectors, passive and electromechanical components and generated approximately $112.0 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. Sale of Redistribution Wire & Cable Assets ------------------------------------------ On May 23, 2000, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of its specialty distribution business to Houston Wire & Cable Company. The sale included assets related to the redistribution of high voltage specialty wire and cable to electrical distributors. These assets generated approximately $93.0 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2000. 7 of 13 Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- Temporary investments may be greater than the cash and cash equivalents balance because they may be offset by individual bank accounts with a book overdraft position within the same bank where multiple accounts are maintained. Sales to Major Customers ------------------------ For the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2000, sales to Applied Materials, Inc. represented approximately 12% of net sales. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock. Incremental shares of 1.2 million and 0.4 million were used in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the thirteen week periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively. Options to purchase 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares of common stock for the thirteen week periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. The calculation of earnings per share does not include approximately 4.2 million shares issuable upon conversion of the 4 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 because inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations --------------------- Net sales for the thirteen week period ended July 1, 2000 increased $103.1 million, or 50.2%, compared to the same period a year ago. Net sales for the Company's specialty distribution and network solutions businesses increased $73.1 million, or 48.7%, compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of internal growth, strong market conditions in the industries that the Company serves, and the Orange Coast and Advacom acquisitions, partially offset by the loss of sales associated with the redistribution assets which were sold in May 2000. The contract manufacturing business grew $30.0 million, or 54.5%, compared 8 of 13 to the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of increased sales to customers in the semiconductor capital equipment, network systems and telecommunications industries. Gross profit increased $22.2 million, or 69.3%, for the thirteen weeks compared to the corresponding period a year ago primarily due to increased sales combined with an increase in the gross profit percentage. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 17.6% from 15.6% in the same period last year. The increase in the gross profit percentage was primarily due to growth in the specialty distribution business, an improved pricing environment for certain products and services, and improvements in plant and equipment utilization in the Company's contract manufacturing business. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $10.3 million, or 36.8%, compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to expenses necessary to support the growth in the Company's operations, including acquisitions and the expansion of network solutions services. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 12.5% compared to 13.7% in the corresponding period last year. The decrease as a percentage of sales was the result of the continued focus on cost containment and leveraging operating expenses on higher sales. Interest expense consists primarily of interest on the 4 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004. Other-net consists principally of interest and dividend income generated by cash and cash equivalents. Net earnings for the thirteen week period were $8.8 million compared to $1.9 million in the same period last year. The increase in net earnings was primarily the result of increased gross profit partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- Working capital at July 1, 2000 was $348.0 million, an increase of $10.7 million, or 3.2%, since April 1, 2000. The increase was primarily due to the growth in accounts receivable and inventories in relation to current and future sales levels. 9 of 13 Temporary investments at July 1, 2000 were $75.1 million, a decrease of $30.0 million since April 1, 2000, which was primarily due to the growth in other working capital. The Company's investment strategy is low-risk and short- term, keeping the funds readily available to meet capital requirements as they arise in the normal course of business. At July 1, 2000, funds were invested in institutional money market funds, which are compatible with the Company's stated investment strategy. The Company intends to apply its capital resources to expand its business by establishing or acquiring similar distribution and manufacturing operations in geographic areas that are attractive to the Company, by acquiring new facilities and by enlarging or improving existing facilities. In addition to the capital required to purchase existing businesses or to fund start-up operations, the expansion of the Company's operations at both new and existing locations will require greater levels of capital to finance the purchase of additional equipment, increased levels of inventory and greater accounts receivable. The Company believes that current resources including funds generated from operations should be sufficient to meet its current capital requirements. Risks Relating to Forward-Looking Statements -------------------------------------------- The Company is including the following cautionary statements to secure the protection of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or trends, and may contain the words "should," "will" or words or phrases of similar meaning. In addition, the forward-looking statements speak only of the Company's view as of the date the statement was made, and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Company believes that all forward- looking statements made by it have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward- 10 of 13 looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2000. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- In the normal course of business, the Company could be exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company continually monitors exposure to market risk and, when appropriate, develops strategies to manage this risk. Management does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or to speculate on changes in interest rates. Currently, the Company's interest rate risk, if any, relates to its temporary investments and its 4 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2004.
