JUNO LIGHTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

   Revenues from sales are recognized at the time goods are shipped. All shipments are FOB shipping point. A contemporaneous generation of invoices set up the fixed and determinable price. Freight billed to our customers is not considered material and has been netted against selling expense. Shipping and handling costs are included in Selling, General and Administrative costs on the income statement.

GOODWILL

   The Company adopted SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" during fiscal 2002. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year. No events have occurred, nor has there been a change in circumstances, that would reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Furthermore, the Company has not amortized any of its goodwill subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 142 in 2002.

INCOME TAXES

   The Company uses the asset and liability approach under which deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company has recognized a one-time tax benefit of $1,300,000 during the third quarter as a result of the closing of certain tax years.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

   
As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), the Company has elected to continue to account for its stock-based awards in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25").

   In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". This standard amends the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement is effective for all interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The following table sets forth the impact of stock based compensation on a pro forma basis:

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

   Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in fiscal 2001 (notional amounts of $30,000,000 pay-fixed rate swap (expiring April, 2003) and $60,000,000 pay-floating rate swap (expiring July, 2009)), which resulted in net unrealized losses of $1,496,000 and $377,000 for the quarters ending August 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, and net unrealized gains of $194,000 and $377,000 for the nine month periods ending August 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, based on the swaps' estimated market values as of August 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the net impact was recorded as other income on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarters ended and nine month pe riods ended August 2003 and 2002. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the risk of adverse changes in variable interest rates on certain of the long-term debt. These derivative instruments will be adjusted to estimated market values quarterly with any adjustment impacting current earnings until their respective maturities.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

   The financial information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all normal adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of its operations and cash flows. The information in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2002 was derived from the Company's 2002 audited consolidated financial statements.

   The Company has a senior credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility") with Bank Of America, N.A., Credit Suisse First Boston and certain other lenders providing (i) a $90 million term facility consisting of a (a) $40 million tranche A term loan ("Term Loan A"), and (b) $50 million tranche B term loan ("Term Loan B"), and (ii) a $35 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either the Eurodollar rate (the London interbank offered rate for eurodollar deposits as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) or a base rate plus variable applicable percentages. At August 31, 2003, the nominal interest rates for Term Loan A and Term Loan B were 3.35% and 4.10%, respectively. Term Loan A and Term Loan B are each payable in separate quarterly installments.

   The final maturity of Term Loan A is November 30, 2005 and the final maturity of Term Loan B is November 30, 2006. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at August 31, 2003 and November 30, 2002 were $8,100,000 and $6,050,000 respectively. At August 31, 2003, the nominal interest rate for borrowing on the Revolving Credit Facility was 4.5%. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are due on November 30, 2005. In addition, the Company issued $125 million principal amount of 11-7/8% senior subordinated notes due July 1, 2009 (the "Notes") to qualified institutional buyers under a private placement offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, which notes were then exchanged for new notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933 with substantially identical economic terms, resulting in approximately $120.4 million in proceeds to the Company. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, including the Senior Credit Facility. Each of the aforementioned debt facilities contain restrictive covenants. The credit agreement related to the Senior Credit Facility (the "Secured Credit Agreement") requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined therein.

   Relating to the Senior Credit Facility and the Notes, the Company incurred approximately $3.9 million and $6.3 million of financing fees, respectively, which are being amortized over the life of the related debt.

   The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries as more particularly described in the Secured Credit Agreement dated June 29, 1999 and filed as an exhibit hereto. The aggregate amounts of existing long-term debt maturing in each of the next three years are as follows: 2004 - $3,901,000; 2005 - $4,817,000; 2006 - $22,380,000.

On November 30, 2000, the Company issued 3,500 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock ("Series B", and together with the Series A, the "Preferred Stock") to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors, in an amount equal to the greater of:

   - dividends which would have been payable to the holders of Series A or Series B, as the case may be, in such
     quarter had they converted their Preferred stock into Juno common stock prior to the record date of dividends
     declared on the common stock in such quarter, or

   - the stated amount then in effect multiplied by 2%.

   Through June 30, 2004, the dividends for the Series A will be payable by an increase in the stated amount of such stock, and through November 30, 2005, the dividends for the Series B will be payable by an increase in the stated amount of such stock. After June 30, 2004, the dividends on the Series A will be paid in cash until redemption or conversion, and after November 30, 2005, the dividends on the Series B will be paid in cash until redemption or conversion. The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $26.25 per share. Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote for each whole share of common stock that would be issuable to such holder upon the conversion of all the shares of the Preferred Stock held by such holder on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote. Additionally, holders of Preferred Stock have preference to common stockholders in the event of liquidation, dissolution, winding up or sale of the Company.

   The Company may, at any time after the ninth anniversary of the original issuance date, redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at stated value, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The Company may, at any time after the eighth anniversary of the original issuance date, redeem the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at stated value, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. These redemptions are completely within the control of the Company and not at the option of the holders.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES


   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION


   Revenues from sales are recognized at the time goods are shipped. All shipments are FOB shipping point. A contemporaneous generation of invoices set up the fixed and determinable price. Freight billed to our customers is not considered material and has been netted against selling expense. Shipping and handling costs are included in Selling, General and Administrative costs on the income statement.

GOODWILL


   
The Company adopted SFAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" during fiscal 2002. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year. No events have occurred, nor has there been a change in circumstances, that would reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Furthermore, the Company has not amortized any of its goodwill subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 142 in 2002.

INCOME TAXES


   The Company uses the asset and liability approach under which deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company has recognized a one-time tax benefit of $1,300,000 during the third quarter as a result of the closing of certain tax years.

 

16

 

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

   
As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), the Company has elected to continue to account for its stock-based awards in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25").

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

   Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in fiscal 2001 (notional amounts of $30,000,000 pay-fixed rate swap (expiring April, 2003) and $60,000,000 pay-floating rate swap (expiring July, 2009)), which resulted in net unrealized losses of $1,496,000 and $377,000 for the quarters ending August 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, and net unrealized gains of $194,000 and $377,000 for the nine month periods ending August 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, based on the swaps' estimated market values as of August 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the net impact was recorded as other income on the condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarters ended and nine-month pe riods ended August 2003 and 2002. The Company entered into these agreements to reduce the risk of adverse changes in variable interest rates on certain of the long-term debt. These derivative instruments will be adjusted to estimated market values quarterly with any adjustment impacting current earnings until their respective maturities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2003 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS
ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002

   During the third quarter ended August 31, 2003, net sales increased $6.5 million (or 14.3%) to $52,033,000 compared to $45,520,000 for the like period in 2002. Approximately 25% of the third quarter consolidated sales growth was from Alfa Lighting, which was acquired by Juno in October 2002 and approximately 25% resulted from new product introductions. The remaining 50% resulted from general volume increases including those associated with new channels of distribution.

   Gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales increased to 50.2% for the quarter, compared to 49.5% for the like period in 2002 due primarily to margin contributions from Alfa.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.6 million to $15,765,000 (30.3% of sales) for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $13,208,000 (29.0% of sales) for the like period in 2002. Approximately 25% of this increase was due to expenses from the Alfa division, which was acquired in October 2002, approximately 25% resulted from expenses associated with developing new channels of distribution, approximately 20% was due to the provision for fiscal 2003 management incentive program with the remainder primarily attributed to variable expenses.

   As a result of the above factors, operating income decreased to 19.9% of sales as compared to 20.5% for the like period in 2002.

   Interest expense was $4,025,000 for the third quarter ended August 31, 2003 compared to $4,121,000 for the like period in 2002. This decrease is due to the reduction of debt from $169,741,000 at August 31, 2002 to $164,537,000 at August 31, 2003 and reductions in interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt.

   The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 was 12.4 % compared to 36.7% for the like period in 2002. This decline was due to the recognition of a one-time tax benefit of $1,300,000 in the third quarter of 2003 as a result of the closing of certain tax years. The effective tax rate excluding the benefit was consistent with historical results.

NINE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2003 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS
ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002

   During the nine-month period ended August 31, 2003, net sales increased $12.2 million (or 9.2%) to $145,537,000 compared to $133,302,000 for the like period in 2002. This increase was net of sales decreases totaling $4.4 million, of which, approximately 60% was from the Indy Lighting division and 40% from price competition in commercial markets. Approximately one-third of the consolidated sales increase was from Alfa Lighting, which was acquired by Juno in October 2002, approximately one-third was due to volume increases (including new channels of distribution) and one-third was due to new product introductions.

 

17

 

   Gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 50.1% for the nine months ended August 31, 2003 compared to 50.0% for the like period in 2002 due primarily to margin contribution from Alfa.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.2 million to $44,911,000 (30.9% of sales) for the period compared to $39,690,000 (29.8% of sales) for the like period in 2002. Of this increase, approximately 35% was due to expenses from the Alfa division, which was acquired in October 2002, approximately 20% was due to the provision for the fiscal 2003 management incentive program, approximately 15% was attributed to sales and administrative salaries, approximately 10% was attributed to product development expenses, approximately 10% was attributed to expenses associated with developing new channels of distribution with the remainder due primarily to variable expenses.

   In addition, operating expenses for the first quarter of 2002 included $3,050,000 of one-time expenses incurred in connection with a proposed major acquisition that was not consummated.

   As a result of the above factors, operating income increased to 19.3% of sales as compared to 18.0% for the like period in 2002.

   Interest expense was $11,922,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2003 compared to $12,801,000 for the like period in 2002. This decrease is due to the reduction of debt from $169,741,000 at August 31, 2002 to $164,537,000 at August 31, 2003 and reductions in interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt.

   The effective income tax rate for nine months ended August 31, 2003 was 29.4 % compared to 37.3% for the like period in 2002. This decline was due to the recognition of a one-time tax benefit of $1,300,000 in the third quarter of 2003 as a result of the closing of certain tax years. The effective tax rate excluding the benefit was consistent with historical results.

INFLATION

   While Juno believes that it generally has been successful in controlling the prices it pays for materials and passing on increased costs by increasing its prices, the Company may not have future success in limiting material price increases, reflecting any material price increases in the prices it charges its customers or offsetting such price increases through improved efficiencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

   During the nine-month period ended August 31, 2003, operating activities provided cash flow of $4,344,000. This was comprised principally of net income, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, decreases in other assets (collectively aggregating $16,078,000), net of increases in inventory, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and miscellaneous, unrealized gain on interest rate swap, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, (collectively aggregating $11,734,000). Accounts receivable increased $6,682,000 or 20.7% due partly to strong sales for the month of August as well as to an increased number of customers (associated with large marketing groups) that are subject to extended payment terms.

   Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $2,489,000 which was used to purchase capital assets.

   The net cash used in financing activities of $2,489,000 consisted primarily of proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility of $56,650,000 less principal payments on the Senior Credit Facility of $58,526,000.

   Prior to the June 1999 Merger, the Company historically had funded its operations principally from cash generated from operations and available cash. The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the Merger. The Company's liquidity needs are expected to arise primarily from operating activities and servicing indebtedness incurred in connection with the Merger.

   Principal and interest payments under the Senior Credit Facility and the Subordinated Debt, both entered into in connection with the Merger, represent significant liquidity requirements for the Company. As of August 31, 2003, the Company had cash of approximately $1.5 million, an $8.1 million balance on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and total term debt of approximately $156.4 million. Detailed information concerning the terms of the Senior Credit Facility and the Subordinated Debt can be found in the Company's audited financial statements included in the November 30, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

   The Company's $35 million Revolving Credit Facility is available to finance its working capital and had an outstanding balance of $8.1 million on August 31, 2003. The Company's principal source of cash to fund its liquidity needs will be net cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company believes these sources will be adequate to meet its anticipated future requirements for working capital, capital

expenditures, and scheduled payments of principal and interest on its existing indebtedness for the next 12 months. However, the Company may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or have future working capital borrowings available in an amount sufficient to enable it to service its indebtedness, including the Subordinated Debt, or to make necessary capital expenditures.

OTHER MATTERS:

   This document contains various forward-looking statements. Statements in this document that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from those stated. Such risks and uncertainties include: economic conditions generally; levels of construction and remodeling activities, the ability to improve manufacturing efficiencies, disruptions in manufacturing or distribution, product and price competition, raw material prices, the ability to develop and successfully introduce new products, technology changes, patent issues, exchange rate fluctuations, and other risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

   In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, " Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." This standard specifies that instruments within its scope embody obligations of the issuer and that, therefore, the issuer must classify them as liabilities. This statement is effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, the standard goes into effect at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

   In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". This standard amends the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. This statement is effective for all interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted this standard in the second quarter of 2003.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   The Company is exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates. As of August 31, 2003, the Company had both floating-rate and fixed rate long-term debt that is exposed to changes in interest rates. In order to manage the Company's risk, at August 31, 2003 the Company had one interest rate swap agreement in effect and one that ended in April 2003. The net unrealized loss from these swaps for the quarter ended August 2003 was $1,496,000 based on the swaps' estimated market values as of August 31, 2003. Detailed information concerning the terms of interest rate swaps can be found in the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the November 30, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

   Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures each of T. Tracy Bilbrough, the Chief Executive Officer, and George J. Bilek, Vice President-Finance, have concluded that in their judgment the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the Company's subsidiaries, is made known to such officers by others within the Company or its subsidiaries and such controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

   There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
