NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Todd Shipyards Corporation (the "Company") filed its Consolidated Financial
Statements for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2003 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. The Consolidated Financial Statements,
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and
Analysis contained in that report should be read in connection with this Form
10-Q.
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited but in the
opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis. The
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2003 is derived from
audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year then ended.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of
variable interest entities that function to support the activities of the
primary beneficiary. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply
immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply to older entities in the first
fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003. Disclosure
requirements apply to financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. FIN
46 applies to any business enterprise, public or private, that has a
controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship
with a variable interest entity. Since the Company has no contractual
relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity,
the adoption of FIN 46 is not anticipated to have any effect on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 (FAS No. 150), Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity. FAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under
previous guidance could be accounted for as equity, be classified as
liabilities in statements of financial position. FAS No. 150 represents a
significant change in practice in accounting for a number of financial
instruments, including mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain
equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share
repurchase programs. FAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective for
the Company at the beginning of our second quarter ended September 28, 2003.
The adaptation of SFAS No. 150 had no material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Beginning in fiscal year 2003, the Company elected to apply the expense
recognition provisions of FAS No. 123. The recognition provisions are applied
to stock option grants awarded subsequent to March 31, 2002. The Company has
adopted FAS No. 123 as it is designated as the preferred method of accounting
for stock-based compensation.
Previously, the Company had applied the disclosure only provisions of FAS No.
123 and accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25),
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. Under
APB No. 25, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if
any, of the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant over
the stock option price.
If the Company had elected to apply the expense recognition provision of FAS
No. 123 to options granted prior to March 31, 2002, then the net income (loss)
would have been adjusted as follows (the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period):

4. CONTRACTS
Auxiliary Oiler Explosive ("AOE") Contract
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company announced that it had
been informed by the Navy that the USS Sacramento (AOE 1) is scheduled to be
decommissioned on or about October 1, 2004. Of the two remaining
availabilities on AOE 1, one is being exercised on a reduced scale as a five-
week, pier-side availability in the Company's fourth fiscal quarter. The
availability, originally scheduled for 12 weeks in duration, was to include a
dry docking of the ship. The other availability of AOE 1 will not occur due
to its decommissioning. The Company does not know at this point if it will be
involved in any of the work related to the decommissioning of AOE 1.
AOE 1 is one of the four AOE class ships originally covered by the Company's
six-year, cost-type contract with the Navy, under which the Navy has options
to have the Company perform maintenance work on the ships. The contract,
which is the Company's fourth consecutive, multi-year contract with the Navy
on the AOE class vessels, was awarded on a sole source basis in June 2001.
The original contract included options for thirteen repair availabilities to
be performed in the 2001 through 2007 contract period and was expected to have
a notional value of approximately $180 million if all of the options were
exercised. Since the award, four repair availabilities have been
accomplished.
Five availabilities under the contract will not be exercised since the Navy
has previously announced its intention to transfer the USS Rainier (AOE 7) and
the USS Bridge (AOE 10) to the Military Sealift Command ("MSC"). AOE 7 was
transferred to MSC in August 2003. AOE 10 is currently scheduled to be
transferred in the summer of 2004. The Company anticipates that MSC will
contract for future work on these two vessels on a competitive basis. The
potential impact of these transfers on the Company's future revenues will
depend on such factors as the expenditures for maintenance by MSC, the
Company's capacity to bid on future AOE 7 and AOE 10 work, and the Company's
bidding success if such bids are submitted.
The AOE contract contains options for two remaining repair availabilities on
the USS Camden (AOE 2) before the contract expiration in 2007. There is no
assurance that these two remaining options will be exercised by the Navy in
whole or in part.
Combatant Maintenance Team ("CMT") Contract
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company was awarded, by the
Department of the Navy on a sole source basis, a five year, cost-type contract
for the repair and maintenance of six surface combatant class vessels
(frigates and destroyers) stationed in the Puget Sound area. Although the
Navy has not released a notional value of the maintenance work, the Company
believes that the value may be approximately $60 million to $75 million if all
options are exercised. Work on this contract is being performed primarily in
the Company's Seattle shipyard, as well as at Naval Station Everett, depending
on the type of work to be performed.
Planned Incremental Availability ("PIA")
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Department of the Navy
awarded the Company a five-year cost-type contract for phased maintenance on
three CVN class aircraft carriers. The notional value for this five-year
contract is approximately $100 million if all options are exercised. Work on
this contract is currently being performed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard,
located in Bremerton, Washington.
With the last year under the existing five-year contract underway, the Navy
issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) in June 2003 requesting bids on a new
five-year contract for similar work. In August 2003, the Company submitted
its response to the RFP. In December 2003, the Company responded to Navy
questions regarding its RFP response. The Company anticipates the Navy will
issue a new five-year contract to the successful bidder by April 2004.
5. REVENUES
The Company's third quarter revenue of $40.3 million reflects an increase of
$8.5 million (27%) from the same period of fiscal year 2003. The quarter to
quarter increase is primarily attributable to the relative volumes of Navy
repair and overhaul projects. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal
year 2004 of $105.9 million reflect a decrease of $15.8 million (13%) from the
comparable fiscal year 2003 period. The decrease in the first nine months of
fiscal year 2004 is primarily attributable to the postponement of scheduled
Navy work during the first quarter due to the deployment of ships in support
of the military operations in Iraq. As the affected Navy ships returned from
active duty, the volume of repair projects for the Navy increased during the
second and third quarters of fiscal year 2004. However on an aggregate basis,
volumes remained lower than the comparable nine month period of fiscal year
2003.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER RESERVES
As discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30,
2003, the Company faces significant potential liabilities in connection with
the alleged presence of hazardous waste materials at its Seattle shipyard and
at one additional site used by the Company for disposal of alleged hazardous
waste. The Company has also been named as a defendant in civil actions by
parties alleging damages from past exposure to toxic substances at Company
facilities.
The Company continues to analyze environmental matters and associated
liabilities for which it may be responsible. No assurance can be given as to
the existence or extent of any environmental liabilities until such analysis
has been completed. The eventual outcome of all environmental matters cannot
be determined at this time, however, the analyses of the known matters have
progressed sufficiently to warrant establishment of reserve provisions in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Harbor Island Site
In fiscal year 2001, the Company entered into a 30-year agreement with an
insurance company that provides broad-based insurance coverage for the
remediation of the Company's operable units at the Harbor Island Superfund
Site ("Site").
The agreement provides coverage for the known liabilities in an amount not to
exceed the policy limits. As of December 28, 2003 these limits exceed the
Company's current booked reserves of approximately $23.3 million.
Additionally, the Company entered into a 15-year agreement for coverage of any
new environmental conditions discovered at the Seattle shipyard property that
would require environmental remediation.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, the United States Department of
Justice approved the consent decree negotiated between EPA and the Company on
the Todd Shipyards Sediments Operable Unit ("TSSOU"). The consent decree was
then lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington ("the Court"). The mandatory 30-day public comment period was
completed in July 2003 with no comments being filed and the Court signed the
consent decree thereafter. Pursuant to the 95% Design Report, remedial
activities began in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. Dredging and
removal of sediments is scheduled to begin in August 2004.
Under the Federal Superfund law, potentially responsible parties may have
liability for damages to natural resources in addition to liability for
remediation. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company began
discussions with the natural resource trustees ("Trustees") for the Site and
continued these discussions during the remainder of the Company's fiscal year
2003. The Company anticipates that the Trustees will file a claim against the
Company at some future date alleging damages to the natural resources at the
Site caused by the release of hazardous substances. The best estimate of the
Company's natural resource damage liability is included in the environmental
remediation reserve. The payment of any eventual claim is covered by the
aforementioned insurance policy, provided that aggregate policy limits have
not been exceeded.
Asbestos-Related Claims
As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for its fiscal year 2003, the Company
has been named as a defendant in civil actions by parties alleging damages
from past exposure to toxic substances, generally asbestos, at closed former
Company facilities.
The cases generally include as defendants, in addition to the Company, other
ship builders and repairers, ship owners, asbestos manufacturers, distributors
and installers, and equipment manufacturers and arise from injuries or
illnesses allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos or other toxic substances.
The Company assesses claims as they are filed and as the cases develop,
analyzing them in two different categories based on severity of illness.
Based on current fact patterns, certain diseases including mesothelioma, lung
cancer and fully developed asbestosis are categorized by the Company as
"malignant" claims. All others of a less medically serious nature are
categorized as "non-malignant". The Company is currently defending
approximately 36 "malignant" claims and approximately 570 "non-malignant"
claims. The Company and its insurers are vigorously defending these actions.
During the first three quarters of fiscal year 2004, the Company experienced
relatively minor changes in its bodily injury liabilities and insurance
receivables. As of December 28, 2003, the Company has recorded a bodily
injury liability reserve of $9.3 million and a bodily injury insurance
receivable of $ 7.1 million. This compares to a previously recorded bodily
injury reserve and insurance receivable of $9.4 and $7.1, respectively, at
March 30, 2003. These bodily injury liabilities and receivables are
classified within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as environmental
and other reserves, and insurance receivables, respectively.
Other Reserves
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company recorded a reserve
of $2.5 million related to the unanticipated bankruptcy of one of its previous
insurance carriers. The reserve, which reflects the Company's best estimate
of the known liabilities associated with unpaid workers compensation claims
arising from the two-year coverage period commencing October 1, 1998, is
subject to change as additional facts are uncovered. These claims have
reverted to the Company due the liquidation of the insurance carrier.
Although the Company expects to recover at least a portion of these costs from
the liquidation and other sources, the amount and the timing of any such
recovery cannot be estimated currently and therefore no estimate of amounts
recoverable is included in the current financial results.
Since establishing the reserve during the first quarter, the Company has paid
approximately $0.2 million in claims, which have been charged against the
reserve.
7. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company reported comprehensive income of $1.6 million for the quarter
ended December 28, 2003, which consisted of net income of $1.7 million offset
by the change in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable
securities of $0.1 million, which is recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income. For the nine month period then ended, the Company
reported comprehensive income of $1.6 million, which consisted of net income
of $1.5 million and changes in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale
marketable securities of $0.1 million.
During the quarter ended December 29, 2002, the Company reported a
comprehensive loss of $0.2 million, which consisted of a net loss of $0.1
million and the change in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale
marketable securities of $0.1 million. During the nine month period then
ended, the Company reported comprehensive income of $3.6 million, which
consisted of net income of $4.2 million offset by a change in net unrealized
gains on available-for-sale marketable securities of $0.6 million.
8. TREASURY STOCK
In fiscal year 2003, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of up to
500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in open market or negotiated
transactions. Under this authorization, the Company purchased an aggregate of
22,400 shares during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. The shares were
purchased in open market transactions at an average price of $12.94 per share,
for total consideration of approximately $0.3 million. This brings the total
number of shares purchased under this authorization to 41,900. During the
quarter ended December 28, 2003, the Company did not purchase any shares.
9. PROPERTY
In October 2003, the smaller of the two dry docks that the Company leases from
the Navy sustained damage during a wind storm. Since then, the Company has
incurred and recognized approximately $0.7 million in costs to recover the dry
dock and to maintain its condition. The Company has submitted a claim to its
insurance carrier for reimbursement of these costs. The Company will record
an insurance receivable when it is reasonably assured that the damage is
covered under its insurance policy. The Company anticipates this
determination will be made during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004.
The dry dock currently remains out of service. As of December 28, 2003, the
Company's repair and maintenance operations have not been materially affected
by the inability to use this dock.
10. LINE OF CREDIT
Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation ("Todd Pacific"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company has a $10.0 million revolving credit facility available for its
working capital requirements. As of December 28, 2003, Todd Pacific had
outstanding borrowings of $4.0 million on its credit line which is primarily
attributable to the timing of short term working capital requirements
resulting from various project start-up costs. Todd Pacific had no
outstanding borrowings as of December 29, 2002. Todd Pacific is in compliance
with all debt covenants.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and should be read in conjunction herewith.
OVERVIEW
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from work performed
under its contracts with the Navy. Work under such contracts is scheduled by
and at the convenience of the Navy. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2003,
scheduled work has been impacted by preparations for, and the conduct of, the
Navy's role in "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and related initiatives. The results
of the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 reflect the increase in volumes of
Navy work that had been previously deferred due to operations in Iraq.
Subsequent to the third quarter, the Company announced it had been informed by
the U.S. Navy that the USS Sacramento (AOE 1) is scheduled to be
decommissioned on or about October 1, 2004. AOE 1 is one of four AOE class
ships originally covered by the Company's six-year, cost-type contract with
the Navy, under which the Navy has options to have the Company perform
maintenance work on the ships. The contract, which is the Company's fourth
consecutive, multi-year contract with the Navy on the AOE class vessels, was
awarded on a sole source basis in June 2001. The original contract included
options for thirteen repair availabilities to be performed in the 2001 through
2007 contract period and was expected to have a notional value of
approximately $180 million if all of the options were exercised.
To date, four such repair availabilities have been accomplished. Five
availabilities under the contract will not be exercised by the Navy due to the
its previously announced intention to transfer the USS Rainier (AOE 7) and the
USS Bridge (AOE 10) to the Military Sealift Command ("MSC"). The potential
impact of these transfers on the Company's future revenues will depend on such
factors as the expenditures for maintenance by MSC, the Company's capacity to
bid on future AOE 7 and AOE 10 work, and the Company's bidding success if such
bids are submitted. Of the two remaining availabilities for the AOE 1, one is
being exercised on a reduced scale as a five-week repair availability in the
Company's fourth fiscal quarter and the other will not occur due to its
decommissioning. The AOE contract contains options for two remaining repair
availabilities on the USS Camden (AOE 2) before the contract expiration in
2007. There is no assurance that these two remaining options will be
exercised by the Navy in whole or in part. The Company does not know at this
point if it will be involved in any of the work related to the decommissioning
of the AOE 1.
OPERATING RESULTS
All comparisons within the following discussion are with the corresponding
periods in the previous year, unless otherwise stated.
Revenue - The Company's third quarter revenue of $40.3 million reflects an
increase of $8.5 million (27%) from the same period of fiscal year 2003. The
quarter to quarter increase is primarily attributable to the relative volumes
of Navy repair and overhaul projects. Revenues for the first nine months of
fiscal year 2004 of $105.9 million reflect a decrease of $15.8 million (13%)
from the comparable fiscal year 2003 period. The decrease in the first nine
months of fiscal year 2004 is primarily attributable to the postponement of
scheduled Navy work during the first quarter due to the deployment of ships in
support of the military operations in Iraq. As the affected Navy ships
returned from active duty, the volume of repair projects for the Navy
increased during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2004. However on
an aggregate basis, volumes remain lower than the comparable nine month period
of fiscal year 2003.
Cost of Revenue - Cost of revenue during the third quarter of fiscal year 2004
was $27.9 million, or 69% of revenue. Cost of revenue during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2003 was $25.3 million, or 79% of revenue. The cost of
revenue increase in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004 is primarily
attributable to an increase in work volumes. The decrease in cost of revenue
as a percentage of revenue when compared to the previous period of fiscal year
2003 is primarily attributable to the fact that in fiscal year 2003, there
were unplanned increases in direct costs associated with the completion of two
fixed price repair and maintenance projects. Also in the third quarter of
2003, the Company incurred a nonrecurring, non-cash charge, resulting from the
settlement of a portion of the Company's pension liabilities.
Cost of revenue during the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 was $76.6
million, or 72% of revenue. During the comparable period in fiscal year 2003,
cost of revenue was $87.6 million, or 72% of revenue. The $11.0 million
decrease in cost of revenue during the first nine months of the current fiscal
year is primarily attributable to lower work volumes experienced in the first
quarter. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue during the first nine
months of fiscal year 2004 remains relatively unchanged from the comparable
period in fiscal year 2003.
Administrative and manufacturing overhead expense - Overhead costs for
administrative and manufacturing activities were $10.9 million, or 27% of
revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2004. During the same period
last fiscal year, administrative and manufacturing overhead costs were $7.2
million, or 22% of revenue. The $3.7 million increase in administrative and
manufacturing overhead is attributable to volume increases during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2004, increases in repair and maintenance expenses for
the Company's dry docks, and expenses associated with recovery and maintaining
the condition of the smaller of the Company's two dry docks that are leased
from the U.S. Navy.
Administrative and manufacturing overhead costs for the first nine months of
fiscal year 2004 were $29.0 million, or 27% of revenue. During the same
period last fiscal year, administrative and manufacturing overhead costs were
$28.8 million, or 24% of revenue. The $0.2 million increase in administrative
and manufacturing overhead costs and the increase in administrative and
manufacturing costs as a percentage of revenue during the first nine months of
fiscal year 2004 is attributable to fixed overhead expenses that are not
affected by work volumes as well as the expenses associated with the Company's
dry docks.
Investment and other income - Investment and other income was $1.0 million for
the third quarter of fiscal year 2004. During the same period in fiscal year
2003, investment and other income was $0.3 million. During the first nine
months of fiscal year 2004, the Company recorded $1.5 million in investment
and other income. During the same period in fiscal year 2003, the Company
recorded $0.9 million in investment and other income. The increase in
investment and other income reported during the third quarter and the first
nine months of fiscal year 2004 is primarily attributable to accelerated lease
payments received by the Company from one of its warehouse tenants under the
terms of a negotiated lease buyout initiated by the tenant.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Based upon its current cash, marketable securities position, anticipated cash
flow and access to credit facilities and capital markets, the Company believes
it has sufficient liquidity to continue to fund operations. Accordingly,
shipyard capital expenditures are expected to be financed out of working
capital. A change in the composition or timing of projected work arising from
factors unknown presently could cause capital expenditures and repair and
maintenance expenditures to be impacted favorably or unfavorably.
Working Capital
Working capital at December 28, 2003 was $35.0 million, a decrease of $7.5
million (18%) from the working capital reported at the end of fiscal year
2003. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $8.1 million, an increase in accounts payable of $7.8 million,
the increase in the line of credit of $4.0 million, offset by an increase in
accounts receivable of $3.2 million and an increase in costs and estimated
profits in excess of billings on incomplete contracts of $9.5 million.
The decrease in cash is primarily attributable to capital expenditures, and to
a lesser extent, the payment of dividends. The increase in accounts payable
and other accruals, as well as the increase in the line of credit is primarily
attributable to costs associated with work volumes on government cost-type
contracts. The increase in accounts receivable and costs and estimated
profits in excess of billings is primarily attributable to an increase in work
volumes and the timing of billings and collections on government cost-type
contracts.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the third quarters of fiscal year 2004 and fiscal
year 2003 were $4.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the first
nine months of fiscal year 2004, capital expenditures were $10.6 million
compared to $1.8 million during the same period of fiscal year 2003.
The increase reported in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal
year 2004 is primarily attributable to costs associated with planned
improvements to the Seattle shipyard facility. On April 15, 2003, the Board
of Directors announced these planned improvements, which are expected to total
approximately $13.5 million and will be incurred in fiscal years 2004 and
2005.
Credit Facility
Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation ("Todd Pacific"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, has a $10.0 million revolving credit facility available for
its working capital requirements. As of December 28, 2003, Todd Pacific had
outstanding borrowings of $4.0 million on its credit line, which is primarily
attributable to the timing of short term working capital requirements
resulting from various project start-up costs. Todd Pacific had no
outstanding borrowings as of December 29, 2002. Todd Pacific is in compliance
with all debt covenants.
Stock Repurchase
In fiscal year 2003, the Board of Directors approved the purchase of up to
500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in open market or negotiated
transactions. Under this authorization, the Company purchased an aggregate of
22,400 shares during the first quarter of fiscal year 2004. The shares were
purchased in open market transactions at an average price of $12.94 per share,
for total consideration of approximately $0.3 million. This brings the total
number of shares purchased under this authorization to 41,900. During the
quarter ended December 28, 2003, the Company did not purchase any shares.
Dividends
On December 23, 2003, the Company paid a dividend of 10 cents ($0.10) per
share to all shareholders of record as of December 8, 2003. This dividend was
declared in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. The approximate amount of
the dividend paid was $0.5 million.
Also, on December 17, 2003, the Company declared a dividend of 10 cents
($0.10) per share to be paid March 23, 2004 to all shareholders of record as
of March 8, 2004. The estimated amount of this dividend is approximately $0.5
million.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
The Company has provided total aggregate reserves of $33.4 million as of
December 28, 2003 for its contingent environmental and bodily injury
liabilities. As of March 30, 2003, the Company had recorded aggregate
reserves of $35.1 million. The $1.7 million decrease primarily results from
environmental remediation expenses that were charged against the reserves.
Due to the complexities and extensive history of the Company's environmental
and bodily injury matters, the amounts and timing of future expenditures are
uncertain. As a result, there can be no assurance that the ultimate
resolution of these environmental and bodily injury matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or
results of operations.
The Company has various insurance policies and agreements that provide
coverage on the costs to remediate environmental sites and for the defense and
settlement of bodily injury cases. These policies and agreements are
primarily with two insurance companies. Based upon the current credit ratings
of both of these companies, the Company anticipates that both parties will be
able to perform under their respective policy or agreement.
As of December 28, 2003, the Company has recorded aggregate assets of $33.3
million related to its reserves for environmental and other liabilities. As
of March 30, 2003, the Company had recorded aggregate assets of $35.0 million.
This decrease of $1.7 million reflects recoveries of covered environmental
remediation expenses. These assets reflect receivables under contractual
arrangements with the insurance companies to share costs for certain
environmental and other matters, as well as amounts deposited to securitize
certain remediation activities. Amounts recoverable from insurance companies
are recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as insurance
receivables and, in the case of reimbursements currently due, as other current
assets. Amounts held in security deposits are recorded within the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets as restricted cash.
Ongoing Operations
Recurring costs associated with the Company's environmental compliance program
are not material and are expensed as incurred. Capital expenditures for
fiscal year 2004 will include $4.1 million for capturing and treating
stormwater at the Company's Seattle facility.
Past Activities
The Company faces significant potential liabilities in connection with the
alleged presence of hazardous waste materials at its Seattle shipyard and at
one additional site used by the Company for disposal of alleged hazardous
waste. The Company has also been named as a defendant in civil actions by
parties alleging damages from past exposure to toxic substances at Company
facilities.
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, the United States Department of
Justice approved the consent decree negotiated between EPA and the Company on
the Todd Shipyards Sediments Operable Unit ("TSSOU"). The consent decree was
then lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of
Washington ("the Court"). The mandatory 30-day public comment period was
completed in July 2003 with no comments being filed and the Court signed the
consent decree thereafter. Pursuant to the 95% Design Report remedial
activities began in the second quarter of fiscal year 2004. Dredging and
removal of sediments is scheduled to begin in August 2004.
Under the Federal Superfund law, potentially responsible parties may have
liability for damages to natural resources in addition to liability for
remediation. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Company began
discussions with the natural resource trustees ("Trustees") for the Site and
continued these discussions during the remainder of the Company's fiscal year
2003. The Company anticipates that the Trustees will file a claim against the
Company at some future date alleging damages to the natural resources at the
Site caused by the release of hazardous substances. The best estimate of the
Company's natural resource damage liability is included in the environmental
remediation reserve. The payment of any eventual claim is covered by the
aforementioned insurance policy, provided that aggregate policy limits have
not been exceeded.
As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for its fiscal year 2003, the Company
has been named as a defendant in civil actions by parties alleging damages
from past exposure to toxic substances, generally asbestos, at closed former
Company facilities.
The cases generally include as defendants, in addition to the Company, other
ship builders and repairers, ship owners, asbestos manufacturers, distributors
and installers, and equipment manufacturers and arise from injuries or
illnesses allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos or other toxic substances.
The Company assesses claims as they are filed and as the cases develop,
analyzing them in two different categories based on severity of illness.
Based on current fact patterns, certain diseases including mesothelioma, lung
cancer and fully developed asbestosis are categorized by the Company as
"malignant" claims. All others of a less medically serious nature are
categorized as "non-malignant." The Company is currently defending
approximately 36 "malignant" claims and approximately 570 "non-malignant"
claims. The Company and its insurers are vigorously defending these actions.
During the first three quarters of fiscal year 2004, the Company experienced
relatively minor changes in its bodily injury liabilities and insurance
receivables. As of December 28, 2003, the Company has recorded a bodily
injury liability reserve of $9.3 million and a bodily injury insurance
receivable of $7.1 million. This compares to a previously recorded bodily
injury reserve and insurance receivable of $9.4 and $7.1, respectively, at
March 30, 2003. These bodily injury liabilities and receivables are
classified within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as environmental
and other reserves, and insurance receivables, respectively.
BACKLOG
At December 28, 2003 the Company's firm shipyard backlog consisted of
approximately $25 million of repair and overhaul work. The Company's repair
and overhaul work generally is of short duration with little advance notice.
The Company's backlog at December 29, 2002 was approximately $24 million.
LABOR RELATIONS
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2003, the Puget Sound Metal Trades
Council (the bargaining umbrella for all unions at Todd Pacific Shipyards) and
Todd Pacific Shipyards reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining
agreement. Todd Pacific Shipyards' eligible workforce ratified the agreement
on October 22, 2002. The parties had been operating under an extension of the
old agreement, which expired on July 31, 2002. The new three-year agreement,
effective retroactively to August 1, 2002, includes an annual 3.5% wage and
fringe benefit increase. The Company considers its relationship with labor to
be stable.
FUTURE SHIPYARD OPERATIONS
The Company's future profitability depends largely on the ability of the
shipyard to maintain an adequate volume of repair and overhaul business. The
Company competes with other northwest and west coast shipyards, some of which
have more modern facilities, lower labor cost structures, or access to greater
financial resources.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of
variable interest entities that function to support the activities of the
primary beneficiary. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply
immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply to older entities in the first
fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003. Disclosure
requirements apply to financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. FIN
46 applies to any business enterprise, public or private, that has a
controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship
with a variable interest entity. Since the Company has no contractual
relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity,
the adoption of FIN 46 is not anticipated to have any effect on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 (FAS No. 150), Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity. FAS No. 150 requires that certain financial instruments, which under
previous guidance could be accounted for as equity, be classified as
liabilities in statements of financial position. FAS No. 150 represents a
significant change in practice in accounting for a number of financial
instruments, including mandatorily redeemable equity instruments and certain
equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share
repurchase programs. FAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective for
the Company at the beginning of our second quarter ended September 28, 2003.
The adaptation of SFAS No. 150 had no material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely making known to
them material information relating to the Company and the Company's
consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the Company's reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
