See notes to financial statements. 7 ATHEY PRODUCTS CORPORATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS I. The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Athey Products Corporation (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; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which follows contains additional information concerning the results of operations and the financial position of the Company. These notes should be read in conjunction with that discussion. In addition, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. II. The financial information reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. III. Earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the nine months period, which were 3,805,608 and 3,809,535 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Certain 1997 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation with no effect on net income. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial condition and Results of Operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Significant Events Affecting Comparability The comparability of statement of operations data has been affected by the following significant items. o In June 1997, the Company recognized pretax net periodic pension income under FASB No. 88 of $1,308,200 on the reversion of assets due to the termination of the pension plan. Approximately $565,227 of this amount resulted in a reduction in cost of goods sold and approximately $742,973 of this amount resulted in a reduction in selling, administrative and engineering expenses. However, this favorable impact on selling, administrative and engineering expenses was partially offset by a $369,044 increase in excise tax expense associated with the termination of the pension plan. The effect was a decrease in net loss after tax of $619,843 or $ .16 per share, for the first nine months of 1997. o In May 1998, the Company sold its marketable securities for $3,041,716. This sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2,095,965. The effect was an increase in net earnings after tax of $1,383,337 or $.36 per share, for the first nine months of 1998. 9 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 as compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 The Company's net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $21,156,151, a 6.6% or $1,505,730 decrease from the $22,661,881 recorded for the same period in 1997. The sales decline reflects a 12.8% decrease in the number of sweepers shipped during the period as compared to the same period for 1997. This volume decline in sweeper shipments was partially offset by an 8.8% increase in replacement parts sales. The decline in sweeper shipments was primarily attributable to production inefficiencies resulting from delays in receiving manufactured parts. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 102.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 77.1% during the same period for 1997. Cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 1998 was significantly impacted by approximately $2,347,000 in various inventory-related adjustments. Such adjustments consisted of the following: (i) approximately $759,000 charged as a result of the Company's annual physical inventory taken at the end of September; (ii) approximately $755,000 relating to production inefficiencies noted above; (iii) approximately $421,000 relating to an increase in the reserve for obsolete inventories based on the Company's ongoing review of future production requirements; and (iv) approximately $412,000 relating to the annual adjustment to net realizable value of the Company's used finished goods and demonstration fleet comprised of approximately 30 units. In 1997 these physical inventory adjustments, which amounted to $1,525,000, were recorded in the Fourth Quarter 1997. The cost of goods sold in the 1997 period was favorably impacted by the $565,227 pre-tax net periodic pension income relating to the termination of the pension plan. Excluding this item, cost of goods sold in 1997 would have been $18,038,736 or 79.6%. The Company has already implemented several major upgrades to its information systems, particularly with regard to its inventory controls, and is currently in the process of implementing a Materials Requirements Planning ("MRP") system which will improve the Company's ability to monitor inventory movement and reduce production order lead times. The full implementation of this MRP system will be completed in the second quarter of 1999. 10 The Company's selling, administrative and engineering expenses increased $161,875 for the first nine months in the current year as compared with the prior year period, from $5,177,010 or 22.8% of net sales, to $5,338,885 or 25.2% of net sales. Selling, administrative and engineering expenses in the 1997 period had been favorably impacted by the $742,973 pre-tax net periodic pension income relating to the termination of the pension plan. However, this favorable impact in 1997 was partially offset by a $369,044 increase in excise tax expense associated with the termination of the pension plan. Excluding these items, selling, administrative and engineering expenses would have been $5,550,939 or 24.5% of net sales for the 1997 period. Excluding the impact of the plan termination and related excise tax, the decline in selling, administrative, and engineering expenses was primarily attributable to lower warranty expenses in 1998 as a result of increases in warranty reserves during 1997. Other income for the 1998 period was $2,191,835 as compared to $24,379 recorded in the same period for 1997. Included in other income for 1998 was a gain of $2,095,965 on the sale of marketable securities. The remaining increase is primarily due to additional interest income earned on the proceeds from the sale of the marketable securities. Other expenses for the first nine months of 1998 were $137,420 as compared to $92,482 recorded for the first nine months of 1997. This increase in other expenses for the first nine months of 1998 is related to increased interest expense associated with larger borrowings under the Company's line of credit. Income tax expense (benefit) for the comparable periods of 1998 and 1997 varies from the customary relationship of 34% primarily due to changes in the Company's valuation reserve allowance against recorded deferred tax assets. The net loss after tax for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, was $3,795,108 or $1.00 per share, as compared to a net loss after tax of $306,699 or $.08 per share recorded in 1997, principally as a result of the factors noted above. 11 Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 ("Third Quarter 1998") as compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 ("Third Quarter 1997") The Company's net sales for the Third Quarter 1998 were $6,063,090, representing a $2,629,033 or 30.3% decrease from net sales of $8,692,123 in the Third Quarter 1997. This sales decrease is attributable to a 36.8% decline in number of units shipped as well as a 6.6% decline in replacement parts sales. The Third Quarter 1998 decline in sweeper shipments was attributable to the continued production inefficiencies resulting from delays in receiving manufactured parts noted above. While replacement parts sales have increased slightly for the nine-month period, such sales declined in the Third Quarter 1998 compared to the Third Quarter 1997 due to the timing of customer orders. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 144.8% in the Third Quarter 1998 as compared to 80.1% in the Second Quarter 1997. In addition to the Third Quarter 1998 inventory adjustments discussed above, cost of goods sold in the Third Quarter 1998 was negatively impacted compared to the Third Quarter 1997 due to a decrease in the number of units shipped. The Company's selling, administrative, and engineering expenses increased in the Third Quarter 1998 by $454,463 from $1,505,128 or 17.3% of net sales for the Third Quarter 1997, to $1,959,591 or 32.3% of net sales. This increase is attributable to higher warranty expenses in the Third Quarter 1998 compared to the Third Quarter 1997. Other income for the Third Quarter 1998 was $82,805 as compared to $9,262 recorded in the Third Quarter 1997. This increase is attributable to higher interest income earned on the proceeds from the sale of the marketable securities. Other expenses for the Third Quarter 1998 were $84,847 as compared to $56,963 recorded in the Third Quarter 1997. This increase in other expenses for the Third Quarter 1998 is related to increased interest expense associated with the borrowings under the Company's line of credit. The income tax benefit for the Third Quarter 1998 and Third Quarter 1997 varies from the customary relationship of 34% primarily due to changes in the Company's valuation reserve allowance against recorded deferred tax assets. The net loss after tax for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was $4,716,322 or $1.24 per share, as compared to a net gain of $202,545 or $.05 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997, due to the factors noted above. 12 Effects of Inflation The Company attempts to minimize the impact of inflation on production and operating costs through cost control programs and productivity improvements. Over the past three years, the rate of inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. Prices paid for raw materials and other manufacturing inputs have remained fairly stable throughout this period. On a longer-term basis, the Company has demonstrated an ability to adjust the selling prices of its products in reaction to changing costs. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1998 the Company had working capital of $15,117,157; the ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.9 to 1; and the debt to equity ratio was .41 to 1. A $3,840,992 increase in the Company's cash position was due to the sale of marketable securities, the receipt of 1997 tax refunds and $4,236,000 of borrowings under the Company's line of credit. This compares to working capital of $18,208,520; a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 5.4 to 1; and a debt to equity ratio of .20 to 1 at December 31, 1997. As part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company used $237,743 for financing activities in 1997 to repurchase its common stock. There were no stock repurchases in 1998. The Company generally relies upon internally generated funds to satisfy working capital requirements and to fund capital expenditures. The Company had available an unsecured line of credit of $5,000,000 of which $4,236,000 had been utilized at September 30, 1998. The Company is currently in discussions with its lenders regarding potential alternative financing arrangements to provide additional support to the Company's cash flow needs for operations and capital expenditures. No assurances can be given, however as to whether such alternative arrangements will be available on commercially acceptable terms. 13 Year 2000 Compliance The Company completed an assessment of its Year 2000 issues in the first quarter of 1998 and determined that most of the Company's internal computer systems were not Year 2000 ready. The Company determined that maintenance of older systems had become expensive enough to justify replacement. Much of the Company's computer equipment had originally been leased through July 1998. New equipment leases with IBM, Sprint, and Dell were entered into in July-August of 1998 and new equipment installed. The new equipment is represented by the manufacturers to be Year 2000 compliant, and improve the functionality and performance of the Company's computer network. In the second quarter of 1998, a new network infrastructure consisting of a fiber optic backbone, cabling, hubs, switches and routers, was installed at the Company's corporate office. The cost of the infrastructure upgrade was approximately $16,000, excluding leased equipment. The new components of the network infrastructure are Year 2000 ready. The Company completed an upgrade to Year 2000 ready systems in August 1998. System software, including the Company's core business systems for financial, sales, manufacturing, purchasing, and engineering, are Year 2000 ready. The Company upgraded its computer-aided drafting software (AutoCAD) to the latest version, which is Year 2000 ready. All standard office software is Year 2000 ready. Network and client operating systems are Year 2000 ready. The Company has obtained documentation from software manufacturers for all such software in use by the Company to verify such compliance. The Industrial Engineering Department has reviewed the manufacturing and tooling equipment in use by the Company for Year 2000 compliance. Management believes that all systems requiring an upgrade or patch have been addressed and that there are no outstanding issues for such equipment. The Engineering Department has reviewed all parts and components of the Company's manufactured trucks and concluded that, in its view, that no Year 2000 issues exist that will effect the Company. The Company has reviewed all information technology equipment and related systems. As of the release of this document, Management believes that only one system remains that is not Year 2000 ready, the telephone system's Call Accounting system. The Company has a contract with the service provider, Sprint. Sprint advised that a patch or upgrade will be available by the first quarter of 1999 for this system, and that there is no additional cost for this upgrade since the Company maintains a service contract on this system. 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
