(See accompanying notes.) 6 HOLMES PROTECTION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Interim Financial Statements Note 1 Financial Statements The consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 have been prepared by Holmes Protection Group, Inc. ("Holmes" or "the Company") without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated results should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year. Interim statements are prepared on a basis consistent with year-end statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the operations of the Company. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for the $1,500,000 pretax charge relating to the outsourcing agreement termination (See Note 2). Note 2 Outsourcing Agreement Termination On March 12, 1997, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle (the "Agreement") with PremiTech to terminate its outsourcing agreement effective April 1, 1997. Changes in the Company's growth strategy and the sale by PremiTech of its alarm monitoring business in late 1995 led both parties to re-evaluate the outsourcing agreement. On April 1, 1997, pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid $650,000 in cash and executed a noninterest bearing promissory note ("Note") in the amount of $1,000,000 payable to EDS in twenty quarterly installments of $50,000, beginning January 1, 1998. The Note is secured by an irrevocable letter of credit for $1,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed to lease certain computer equipment for a three year term with an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease for the fair market value. The Company has recorded a pretax charge of $1,500,000 in connection with the Agreement. Note 3 Acquisitions In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company acquired alarm companies for an aggregate purchase price of $6,874,000. In addition, the Company acquired three alarm companies in exchange for 249,943 shares of the Company's Common Stock. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based on their estimated values and the results of operations of the acquired entities have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of the acquisition. The allocation of estimated values is subject to final adjustments of purchase price. The results of operations for these acquisitions were not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and therefore no pro forma financial data has been included. 7 Note 4 Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS), replacing the presentation of currently required primary EPS with a presentation of Basic EPS. For entities with complex capital structures, the statement requires the dual presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations. Under this new standard, Basic EPS is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution; Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock or from other contracts to issue common stock and is similar to the currently required fully diluted EPS. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and earlier application is not permitted. When adopted, the Company will be required to restate its EPS data for all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of this statement to be material to previously reported EPS amounts. Note 5 Credit Facility At September 30, 1997, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants of its 1996 Credit Agreement. The banks have waived such noncompliance for periods prior to or ending on such date. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the banks with regard to additional financing that the Company will require for its short term operating needs and is considering other long term financing alternatives. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Revenues increased $5.6 million (42.6%) to $18.6 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $13.0 million in the third quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in installation revenue of $3.8 million (124.5%) from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 1996 to $6.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 resulting from increased sales due to the Company's expansion of its branch and National Account operations. In addition, monitoring and service revenue increased $1.1 million (12.7%) from $8.8 million in the third quarter of 1996 to $9.9 million in the third quarter of 1997. Increased revenues from the Company's One Service business also contributed to the increase. Cost of sales increased $4.0 million (55.5%) to $11.3 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $7.2 million for the comparable period of 1996, due primarily to increased installation costs resulting from the growth in related revenue and increased monitoring expenses resulting from recent acquisitions of central stations, which have not yet been consolidated. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million (55.3%) to $6.3 million from $4.0 million for the same period of 1996. This increase is primarily related to costs associated with increased sales, marketing and administrative support as the Company continues to implement its nation-wide growth strategy. The Company aggressively pursued this strategy during the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first three quarters of 1997, expanding into many new geographic locations, including: Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cincinnati, OH, Dallas, TX, Erie, PA, Harrisburg, PA, Louisville, KY, Miami, FL, Nashville, TN, Orangeburg, SC, San Francisco, CA, Scranton, PA, and Tampa, FL. In addition, sales, marketing and administrative support was added in 1997 to establish and expand the Company's National Accounts operation. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $2.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $2.6 million for the comparable period of 1996. Interest expense increased $0.4 million (247.2%) to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $0.1 million in the third quarter of 1996 principally as a result of increased borrowings during 1997. Loss before income taxes was $2.2 million for the third quarter of 1997 compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the third quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of the selling ,marketing and general and administrative costs relating to the the Company's expansion into new geographical markets which was partially offset by margins on increased revenues. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Revenues increased $11.4 million (30.3%) in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $48.9 million from $37.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in installation revenue of $7.8 million (103.3%) resulting from increased sales due to the Company's expansion of its branch operations and National Accounts operation. An increase in monitoring and service revenue of $2.1 million (7.9%) and increased revenues from the One Service business also contributed to the increased revenues. The Company's annual recurring revenue base increased from $35.0 million at December 31, 1996 to $38.3 million at September 30, 1997, resulting from recurring revenues acquired during 1997. The recurring revenue base at September 30, 1996 was $34.3 million. The Company's backlog of orders increased to $10.8 million at September 30, 1997 versus $5.6 million at September 30, 1996. The backlog of orders was $6.0 million at December 31, 1996. 9 Cost of sales increased 41.8% from $20.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $28.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of increased installation costs resulting from the growth in related revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $10.9 million for the same period of 1996. This increase is primarily related to costs associated with increased sales, marketing and administrative support as the Company continued the implementation of its nation-wide growth strategy. The Company aggressively pursued this strategy during the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first three quarters of 1997, expanding into many new geographic locations, including: Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cincinnati, OH, Dallas, TX, Erie, PA, Harrisburg, PA, Louisville, KY, Miami, FL, Nashville, TN, Orangeburg, SC, San Francisco, CA, Scranton, PA, and Tampa, FL. In addition, sales, marketing and administrative support was added in 1997 to establish and expand the Company's National Accounts operation. Depreciation and amortization expense was $8.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $8.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Additionally, in the first quarter of 1997, the Company incurred a non-recurring charge of $1.5 million related to the termination of its outsourcing agreement with PremiTech (See Note 2). Interest expense increased $0.6 million (129.4%) to $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $0.5 million in the comparable period of 1996 principally as a result of increased borrowing during 1997. Loss before income taxes reflected a loss of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to a loss of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the selling ,marketing and general and administrative costs relating to the Company's expansion into new geographical markets partially offset by margins on increased revenues. Liquidity and Capital Resources Nine months Ended September 30, 1997 Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.9 million from $1.0 million to $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Net cash provided by financing activities was $20.2 million, offset by cash utilized by operating activities of $6.7 million and net cash utilized by investing activities of $14.4 million. Net cash utilized by operating activities of $6.7 million principally consisted of cash provided by sales of electronic security services, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, an increase in accounts receivable ($5.7 million) resulting from increased revenues, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($1.4 million), an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets ($1.9 million), and an increase in inventory ($1.8 million). Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of acquisition costs and the additions to Company-owned equipment on subscribers' premises and other fixed assets. Net cash provided by financing activities of $20.2 million during this period consisted of bank borrowings of $19.5 million, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.4 million, offset by repayments of other long term debt obligations of $0.7 million. 10 Future Commitments and Cash Requirements Liquid assets available to the Company as of September 30, 1997 included cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million. On August 30, 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), amended and restated as of December 31, 1996 and subsequently amended as of January 1, 1997, with Merita Bank Ltd. and Bank of Boston Connecticut (together, the "Banks") pursuant to which the Banks have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide a two-year $25 million revolving credit facility to the Company, the borrowings pursuant to which would automatically convert into a five-year term loan on September 30, 1998. The Company's ability to obtain future borrowings under this credit facility is contingent upon its compliance with various financial covenants, tests and ratios, including those relating to (i) ratios of total debt to EBITDA, (ii) ratios of total debt to recurring monthly revenue, (iii) minimum debt service coverage, (iv) minimum net worth, (v) maximum capital expenditures and (vi) maximum subscriber attrition rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). On September 30, 1997, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $24.0 million, including an outstanding irrevocable letter of credit of $1.0 million (See Note 2). These borrowings were used to finance the Company's acquisition of alarm companies and to meet working capital requirements. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had $1.0 million remaining under its credit facility. The Company, at September 30, 1997, was not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants of its 1996 Credit Agreement. The banks have waived such noncompliance for periods prior to or ending on such date. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the banks with regard to additional financing that the Company will require for its short term operating needs and is considering other long term financing alternatives. In addition, the Company has retained J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., to assist the Company in exploring strategic alternatives as part of an overall review of its business strategy including a possible sale or merger of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will elect to pursue any of the specific actions that it may consider as a result of these efforts, or if pursued, that these actions will be successful. In concert with the above actions the Company is reducing costs by accelerating the consolidation of recently acquired central stations and by initiating certain other operational changes that are expected to result in cost reductions in other areas. Although the Company has experienced significant working capital constraints as a result of its rapid sales growth and capital required to expand its operations in new geographic markets, management believes that by taking the above actions adequate working capital will be available until long-term financing alternatives are arranged. On April 4, 1995, the Company entered into a ten-year, $51 million Outsourcing Agreement with PremiTech Corporation ("Premitech"), a subsidiary of Electronic Data Systems Corporation ("EDS"), which provided for PremiTech to assist in the consolidation of the Company's central monitoring facilities, to manage the Company's technological infrastructure and to perform certain of the Company's administrative functions. On March 12, 1997, the Company reached an agreement in principle (the "Agreement") with Premitech to terminate its Outsourcing Agreement effective April 1, 1997. As a result, on April 1 1997, the Company paid $650,000 in cash and executed a noninterest bearing promissory note ("Note") in the amount of $1,000,000 payable to EDS in twenty quarterly installments of $50,000, beginning January 1, 1998. The Note is secured by an irrevocable letter of credit for $1,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed to lease certain computer equipment for a three year term with an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease for the fair market value. 11 Part II - Other Information Item 6.
