Page 4 of 11 5 SUPERIOR SURGICAL MFG. CO., INC. NOTES TO SUMMARIZED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of Significant Interim Accounting Policies: a) Recognition of costs and expenses Costs and expenses other than product costs are charged to income in interim periods as incurred, or allocated among interim periods based on an estimate of time expired, benefit received or activity associated with the periods. Procedures adopted for assigning specific cost and expense items to an interim period are consistent with the basis followed by the registrant in reporting results of operations at annual reporting dates. However, when a specific cost or expense item charged to expense for annual reporting purposes benefits more than one interim period, the cost or expense item is allocated to the interim periods. b) Inventories Inventories at interim dates are determined by using both perpetual records and gross profit calculations. c) Accounting for income taxes The provision for income taxes is calculated by using the effective tax rate anticipated for the full year. d) Earnings per share Earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The exercise of outstanding stock options would not have a significant effect on earnings per share. Page 5 of 11 6 Note 2 - Dispute with Governmental Agency: The Company has been advised that it is a target of a Federal criminal investigation relating to a previously reported dispute involving alleged false statements and false claims purportedly made in connection with contracts ostensibly awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. A former vice president of the Company has entered into a plea agreement with Federal authorities in connection with this matter; the specific terms and conditions of which are not known to the Company. Federal authorities are also pursuing a civil investigation of the Company relating to these matters. The dispute does not involve the integrity of the Company's products. The Company is cooperating with these investigations, and settlement discussions are continuing. The Company previously offered to settle all potential charges relating to these matters and in 1993 recorded a liability in that amount which is reflected in its financial statements. That offer, however, was rejected by Federal authorities. While the Company has further concluded that it possesses specific defenses which will be vigorously asserted in the event the parties are unable to arrive at a negotiated settlement, the Company is unable to estimate the outcome of this uncertainty. Additionally, in the event the Company is indicted or convicted on criminal charges, or if significant civil damages are pursued, certain collateral consequences are likely to result, such as suspension or debarment from the award of future Federal government contracts. The Company believes that a suspension or debarment in connection with Federal government contracts would not have a material adverse effect on the Company; however, such action may also impede the Company's ability to receive certain contracts awarded under various Federal grant and other non-procurement programs. The precise impact of any potential exclusion under various Federal grant and other non-procurement programs is not clear. Note 3 - Capital Stock: Pursuant to authorization by the Board of Directors in February 1990, during the third quarter of 1994, the registrant re-acquired and retired 550,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate consideration of $6,765,000. Pursuant to authorization by the Board of Directors in July, 1995, during October 1995, the registrant re-acquired and retired 230,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate consideration of $2,191,900. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The interim information contained above is not certified or audited; it reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the operating results for the periods presented, stated on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements. The financial information included in this form has been reviewed by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent certified public accountants; such review was made in accordance with established professional standards and procedures for such a review. All financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles or practices reflected in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reference is hereby made to registrant's Financial Statements for 1994, heretofore filed with registrant's Form 10-K. Page 6 of 11 7 DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP - ----------- -------------------------------------------------------- (LOGO) Certified Public Accountants Suite 1200 201 East Kennedy Boulevard Tampa, Florida 33602-5821 Telephone: (813) 223-7591 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Superior Surgical Mfg. Co., Inc. Seminole, Florida We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Superior Surgical Mfg. Co., Inc. (the "Company") as of September 30, 1995, and the condensed summaries of operations for the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the nine-months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. This condensed financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed financial information for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed financial statements, the Company is engaged in a dispute with an agency of the U.S. Government. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the balance sheet as of December 31, 1994, and the related statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements with two explanatory paragraphs relating to an uncertainty of the outcome of a dispute with an agency of the U.S. Government and to a change in the Company's method of accounting for income taxes. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP October 24, 1995 Page 7 of 11 8 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Net sales of the registrant increased by approximately 7% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994 due to new customers and new uniform programs (a look common to a theme). For the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second quarter of 1994, sales decreased by approximately 8% due to a general slowdown in the economic activities in the marketplaces served by the registrant. In the third quarter of 1995, sales were flat compared to the comparable period in 1994. Accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, sales were approximately 1% less than the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Cost of goods sold approximated 66-1/2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were in the area of 22% for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994. Interest expense of $697,574 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 decreased 4% from $724,364 for the similar period ended September 30, 1994 due to repayment of debt. Net earnings decreased 18% to $2,011,434 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to net earnings of $2,461,762 for the same period ended September 30, 1994 as a result of higher costs. Accounts receivable and other current assets were essentially unchanged from $24,231,606 on December 31, 1994 to $24,215,348 as of September 30, 1995. Inventories as of September 30, 1995 increased 9% to $44,683,142 from $40,991,963 on December 31, 1994 mainly to support expected future customer demand and new uniform designs. Accounts payable increased 3% from $7,471,452 on December 31, 1994 to $7,703,592 on September 30, 1995 primarily due to increases in purchases of inventories. The registrant's current portion of long-term debt of $600,000 and long-term debt of $18,300,000 for September 30, 1995 is $300,000 less than it was at December 31, 1994, due to scheduled repayments of debt. See Note 2 of Notes to Summarized Interim Financial Information for a contingency resulting from a dispute which may have an effect on future operating results. The provision for dispute settlement in the amount of $2,250,000 in 1993 involves certain sales by the Company to an agency of the Federal government as previously reported. The government has yet to make any claim in connection with the dispute. While management continues to believe that the Company has complied with the terms and conditions of its obligations with the government, the Company sought resolution of the dispute by offering $2,250,000 ($1,415,000 net of tax effect) for full and complete settlement of the matter. The Company elected to accrue the offered amount for the fourth quarter of 1993 which represents an after tax charge against earnings of approximately $.16 per share. The offer of settlement has been rejected by the government. While the future impact is unclear, the dispute and Federal investigation concerning the dispute may have an adverse effect on future sales and a material, one-time payment may be necessary to resolve this matter. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and certificates of deposit decreased by $2,159,299 from $11,233,700 on December 31, 1994 to $9,074,401 as of September 30, 1995. The change is primarily a result of normal operations. Additionally, as of September 30, 1995, under its existing revolving Credit Agreement, the registrant had $9,000,000 available to it. The registrant's Credit Agreement makes available to the registrant up to $9,000,000 for 5 years on a revolving credit basis and thereafter for 4 years as a term loan with installment repayments of principal. Interest is payable at the prime rate of the lender for funds borrowed in domestic currency and at the lender's Eurodollar rate plus 1/2% for funds borrowed in the Eurodollar market. The registrant pays a 1/10% commitment fee per annum on funds not borrowed during the 5 year revolving credit period. The debt due under the credit agreement may be prepaid in part or in full at any time without penalty; in addition, any amount prepaid during the 5 year revolving credit term may be reborrowed without penalty. The Credit Agreement also permits additional unsecured short-term borrowing from banks up to $6,000,000 without any "clean-up" requirements. Page 8 of 11 9 Liquidity and Capital Resources (con't) The Credit Agreement and the agreements with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company contain restrictive provisions concerning minimum working capital ($20,000,000), debt to net worth ratios, other borrowing, capital expenditures, rental commitments, tangible net worth ($55,000,000), working capital ratio (2.5:1), and payment of dividends. The registrant is in full compliance with all terms, conditions and covenants of the various credit agreements. The registrant has operated without hindrance or restraint with its present working capital, as income generated from operations and outside sources of credit, both trade and institutional, has been more than adequate. In the foreseeable future, the registrant will continue its ongoing capital expenditure program designed to maintain and improve its facilities. The registrant at all times evaluates its capital expenditure program in light of prevailing economic conditions. The registrant believes that its cash flow from operating activities together with other capital resources and funds from credit sources will be adequate to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings The Company has been advised that it is a target of a Federal criminal investigation relating to a previously reported dispute involving alleged false statements and false claims purportedly made in connection with contracts ostensibly awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The government alleges the omission of information concerning the Company's pricing and discount policies in connection with government solicitations regarding the contracts existing between 1983 and 1992 and over-pricing by the Company for products provided thereunder. The investigation is also evaluating actions by agents of the Company in connection with the matter, including those of Gerald M. Benstock, a Director of the Company. A former vice president of the Company has entered into a plea agreement with Federal authorities in connection with this matter; the specific terms and conditions of which are not known to the Company. Federal authorities are also pursuing a civil investigation of the Company relating to these matters. The dispute does not involve the integrity of the Company's products. The Company is cooperating with these investigations, and settlement discussions are continuing. The Company previously offered to settle all potential charges relating to these matters and in 1993 recorded a liability in that amount which is reflected in its financial statements. That offer, however, was rejected by Federal authorities. While the Company has further concluded that it possesses specific defenses which will be vigorously asserted in the event the parties are unable to arrive at a negotiated settlement, the Company is unable to estimate the outcome of this uncertainty. Additionally, in the event the Company is indicted or convicted on criminal charges, or if significant civil damages are pursued, certain collateral consequences are likely to result, such as suspension or debarment from the award of future Federal government contracts. The Company believes that a suspension or debarment in connection with Federal government contracts would not have a material adverse effect on the Company; however, such action may also impede the Company's ability to receive certain contracts awarded under various Federal grant and other non-procurement programs. The precise impact of any potential exclusion under various Federal grant and other non-procurement programs is not clear. ITEM 2. Changes in Securities None. ITEM 3.
