Baldor Electric Company and Affiliates Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements June 29, 2002
principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 29, 2002 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2002.
Comprehensive Income: Total comprehensive income was approximately $8.3 million and $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively and was approximately $15.1 million and $12.6 million for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The components of comprehensive income are illustrated in the table below:

Segment Reporting: The Company has only one reportable segment; therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect segment information.
Financial Derivatives: Effective December 31, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (SFAS 133) as amended. This statement requires the company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If the derivative is a hedge, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings (fair value hedges), or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings (cash flow hedges). The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in earnings.
The Company uses derivatives to moderate the commodity market risks of its business operations. Derivative products, such as futures and option contracts, are considered to be a hedge against changes in the amount of future cash flows related to commodities procurement. The amount recognized on cash flow hedges in second quarter 2002 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
At June 29, 2002 and December 29, 2001, the Company had derivative related balances with a fair value of approximately $1,793,000 and ($769,000), respectively, recorded in other current assets. The Company had corresponding net after-tax gains (losses) of approximately $621,000 and ($1,400,000) recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) at June 29, 2002 and December 29, 2001, respectively. The Company expects that net after-tax gains, totaling approximately $621,000 included in other comprehensive income at June 29, 2002, related to cash flow hedges, will be recognized in cost of sales within the next twelve months. The Company generally does not hedge anticipated transactions beyond 18 months.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other definite-lived intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2002. The Company assessed its goodwill for impairment upon adoption, and will test for impairment at least annually thereafter. The Company’s transitional impairment test did not indicate any impairment losses. Had the provisions of SFAS 142 been in effect during the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase in net income of $575,000 or $.016 per diluted share, would have been recorded. The effect on net income and earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001 would not have been significant.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which supercedes SFAS 121. Generally, SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 related to the recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets, except for the indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are covered by SFAS 142. However, SFAS 144 provides more guidance on estimating cash flows when performing a recoverability test, requires that a long-lived asset to be disposed of other than by sale be classified as “held and used” until it is disposed of, and establishes more restrictive criteria to classify an asset as “held for sale.” SFAS 144 became effective for the Company beginning December 30, 2001. The Company’s adoption of SFAS 144 has had no material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On March 16, 2001, the Company entered into a loan agreement (“the facility”) with a bank, which provides the Company up to $70 million of borrowing capacity. The facility is secured with Company’s trade accounts receivable and matures March 15, 2004. Interest is calculated at a relevant commercial paper rate plus applicable margin. At June 29, 2002 the Company had outstanding borrowings on the facility amounting to $47 million at an interest rate of 1.84%.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsEarnings for the second quarter of 2002 increased to $7.2 million or $0.21 per diluted share compared to $6.4 million or $0.19 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2001. Earnings for the first six months of 2002 amounted to $12.6 million or $0.36 per diluted share compared to $13.6 million or $0.39 per diluted share for the same period last year. Improvement in the second quarter resulted from gradually increasing orders, primarily from new customers, the Company’s cost reduction program and continued investments in productivity.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales remained at 71.5% . Improvements in manufacturing efficiencies were offset by decreased sales volume.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $935,000. The improvements resulted primarily from the Company’s overall cost reduction programs. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 19.1% from 19.6%.
Interest expense decreased $490,000 from the same period last year as a result of decreased average interest rates on outstanding debt. Six Months Ended June 29, 2002 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Sales of $278.7 million decreased 6.1% as a result of overall economic conditions.Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 71.8% from 71.6% during the same period last year. Improvements in manufacturing efficiencies were offset by a decrease in sales volume.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $2.7 million as a result of the Company’s overall cost reduction programs. As a percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses were 19.5% compared to 19.2% for the same period last year. This was a result of decreased sales volume.
Interest expense decreased $1.2 million from the same period last year as a result of decreased average interest rates on outstanding debt.
For the six months ended June 29, 2002, net cash flows from operations amounted to $12.9 million. The Company utilized cash from operations to fund property, plant and equipment additions of $4.3 million and pay quarterly dividends of $8.8 million to shareholders.
At June 29, 2002, working capital was $195.0 million compared to $173.6 million at year-end 2001, an increase of $21.4 million. The current ratio at June 29, 2002 was 3.9 to 1 compared to 3.2 to 1 at year-end 2001.
Total debt at June 29, 2002 was $108.2 million compared to $100.4 million at December 29, 2001. The Company’s credit agreements contain various covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 29, 2002.
The Company expects that its foreseeable cash needs for operations and capital expenditures will continue to be met through cash flows from operating activities and existing credit facilities.
This document contains statements that are forward-looking, ie, not historical facts. The forward-looking statements (generally identified by words or phrases indicating a projection or future expectation such as “outlook”, “optimistic”, “trends”, “expect(s)", “assuming”, “expectations”, “forecasted”, “estimates”, “expected”) are based on the Company’s current expectations and some of them are subject to risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, you are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. The factors that might cause such differences include, among others, the following: (i) changes in economic conditions, (ii) developments of new initiatives by our competitors in the markets in which we compete, (iii) fluctuations in the costs of select raw materials, (iv) the success in increasing sales and maintaining or improving the operating margins of the Company, and (v) other factors including those identified in the Company’s press releases and other filings made from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual report (as well as the Company’s Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) containing a discussion of the Company’s business and of various factors that may affect it.
As a purchaser of certain commodities, primarily copper, aluminum and steel, the Company periodically utilizes commodity futures and options for hedging purposes to reduce the effect of changing commodity prices and as a mechanism to procure materials. Generally, contract terms of a hedge instrument closely mirror those of the hedged item providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation. Contracts that are highly effective at meeting this risk reduction and correlation criteria are recorded using hedge accounting, as described in Note A to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s interest rate risk is related to its available-for-sale securities and long-term debt. Due to the short-term nature of the Company’s securities portfolio, anticipated interest rate risk is not considered material. The Company’s debt obligations include certain notes payable to banks bearing interest at a quarterly variable rate. The Company does not currently utilize derivatives for managing interest rate risk, but continues to monitor changes in market interest rates.
Although the Company has risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign affiliates comprise less than 10% of the Company’s total assets. The Company does not anticipate the use of derivatives for managing foreign currency risk, but continues to monitor the effects of foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company held its annual meeting on April 20, 2002, at which shareholders voted on one proposal. Proposal I was the election of three Directors to the Company’s Board of Directors for terms expiring in 2005. The following is a list of the Board’s slate of nominees (who were the only nominees) each of whom were elected, and the results of shareholder voting on Proposal I:
