EDISON CONTROL CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) Note 1- Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ending June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. Note 2- Trading Securities The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("Statement 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," to record at market value securities held for investment. Statement 115 addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term would be classified as "trading securities" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The impact of adopting Statement 115 as of January 1, 1994 was to increase income by approximately $1,448,000, net of taxes. The cost of securities sold is based on the first in, first out method. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Condition. Results of Operations. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 decreased $350,327, or 68.6%, compared with the comparable period of the prior year. For the first six months of 1995, net sales decreased $383,526, or 47.1%, compared to the comparable period of 1994. The decrease for both periods in 1995 is attributable to a combination of two factors: a) The pending deregulation of the electric utilities industry has created an unstable environment in which the utilities will have to compete to sell power to big customers. This is causing massive cutbacks in both personnel and the purchasing of materials used by the power producers. Sale of the Company's product is being impacted because they are not an essential material required in the distribution of electricity, a condition which management believes is temporary. As personnel continues to be reduced, the faulted circuit indicator should be a tool to expedite the restoration of service after an outage, b) The unstable financial problems incurred by Mexico; 16% of 1994 sales were exported to Mexico. There were no shipments to Mexico in the first six months of 1995, however, the Company is quoting a major project for Mexico Electric at this time. Quoting activity is generally picking up at this time. As a result, sales for the next quarter could return to more normal levels. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin for the 1995 second quarter decreased to 4.4% from 35.6%. The six month period gross profit margin decreased to 17.5% from 32.4% for the comparable period in 1994. These decreases are primarily attributable to reduced unit volume and the allocation of overhead costs over the lower unit volume. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 1995 were $175,790 and $369,874, respectively, compared to $167,770 and $306,363, respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior year. Management believes selling, general and administrative expenses should be maintained at or near their present levels for the balance of fiscal 1995. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to the opening of a New York City office for the Company's new President. The operating loss was $294,601 for the first six months compared to an operating loss of $42,560 for the comparable period of 1994. The Company recorded operating loss in the three months ended June 30, 1995 of $168,786 compared to income of $13,924 in 1994. The increase in operating losses is due primarily to decreased level of sales in 1995 and the increase in general and administrative expenses. Interest and dividend income decreased by approximately 51% for the six months ended June 30, as a result of the shifting of the Company's investments into trading securities which resulted in increases in both realized and unrealized gains. The Company achieved a $2,160,744 realized gain in trading securities for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Compared to the prior period loss of ($6,262), the difference of $2,167,0006 is primarily due to an increase in sales of securities. Unrealized gains were $488,617 for the first six months compared to unrealized losses of ($1,003,065) for the comparable period of 1994. The increase of $1,491,682 can be attributed to a general upward market trend. The Company recorded a current and deferred tax expense of $518,585 and $947,805 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 respectively, which represents the estimated annual effective rate of 40% applied to pre- tax book income. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Net income of $777,878 or $.36 per share for the second quarter of 1995 increased $763,166 compared to net income of $14,712 or $.01 per share for the comparable period of the prior year. Net income of $1,421,708 or $.65 per share for the first six months of 1995 increased $504,247 compared to net income of $917,461 or $.42 per share for the comparable period of the prior year. The Company used $728,982 in cash from operations during the first six months of 1995 compared to a cash generation of $86,521 during the first six months of 1994, a difference of $815,503 which is attributable to the reduction in sales, an increase in purchases over sales of trading securities and income taxes paid. The Company's cash usage from investing activities was $23,051 during the first six months of 1995 compared to $12,100 during the first six months of 1994. The Company's financing activities provided $117,000 during the first six months of 1995 compared to $0 in the first six months of 1994. There was a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $635,033 in 1995 compared to an increase of $74,421 in 1994. Management continues to analyze the discontinuance of the manufacture and sale of electronic fault indicators in light of the Company's operating losses. No decision regarding said discontinuance has been made. If the Company discontinued the manufacture and sale of electronic fault indicators, the Company would be left with assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents, investments and trading securities. Management continues to actively seek opportunities for the investment of its cash, investments and securities in areas which may not be related to its present operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company believes that it can fund its proposed capital expenditures and its operational requirements from operations and its currently available cash, cash equivalents and investments. Proposed capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 1995 are expected to total approximately $20,000. The Company has no long-term debt and does not anticipate a long-term need for capital to fund its present business. The Company may, however, need long-term capital to fund an acquisition in the event such acquisition requires funding greater than the Company's cash, cash equivalents, investments and trading securities. The Company has not sought to obtain such capital and will do so only in the event it is required to fund an acquisition. The source of such funding, if any, is unknown at this time. Additionally, at June 30, 1995 the working capital ratio (i.e., the ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities) was 6.2:1. At December 31, 1994, the working capital ratio was 8.1:1.
