DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Reinhold Industries, Inc. ("Reinhold" or the "Company") is a manufacturer of
advanced custom composite components, sheet molding compounds, and graphic arts
and industrial rollers for a variety of applications in the United States and
Europe. Reinhold derives revenues from the defense contract industry, the
aircraft industry, the printing industry and other commercial industries.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The Company's consolidated financial statements and related public financial
information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments
and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on
the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates
can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures
of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial
condition. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting
assumptions adhere to generally accepted accounting principles and are
consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are
reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout
the Company. Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject
to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include
revenues, receivables, inventories, acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and
intangible assets, pension and post-retirement benefits, the realizability of
deferred tax assets, and foreign exchange translation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements of the Company for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. The financial statements
consolidate the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such
financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of
normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year. The condensed financial statements and notes are
presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and, therefore, should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out
(FIFO) basis. Inventoried costs relating to long-term contracts and programs are
stated at the actual production costs, including factory overhead, initial
tooling and other related non-recurring costs incurred to date, reduced by
amounts related to revenue recognized on units delivered. The components of
inventory are as follows (in thousands):

Raw material $ 5,409 4,625
Work-in-process 2,073 874
Finished goods 607 439
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 8,089 5,938
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of all
dilutive securities, consisting of employee stock options and shares to be
issued to Directors.
On April 30, 2003, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of a 10%
stock dividend to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2003. As a result, an
additional 265,418 shares were issued on May 29, 2003. All common stock
information and earnings per share computations for all periods presented have
been adjusted for the stock dividend. The number of stock options outstanding
and the exercise price were also adjusted for the impact of the 10% stock
dividend.
The reconciliations of basic and diluted weighted average shares are as follows
(in thousands, except exercise price data):

STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees", and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting For Stock-Based
Compensation", as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure."
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
had compensation expense for the employee stock-based plans been recorded based
on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123 (in thousands except for per share
data):

REPORTING OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company reports other comprehensive income under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". The
difference between net income and total comprehensive income during the three
months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was a gain on foreign currency
translation of $43,000 and $151,000, respectively. The difference between net
income and total comprehensive income during the nine months ended September 30,
2003 and 2002 was a gain on foreign currency translation of $205,000 and
$308,000, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes for interim periods are computed using the estimated effective tax
rate to be applicable for the current year.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
LONG TERM DEBT
On March 20, 2002, the Company entered into a one year $10,000,000 revolving
credit facility with LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle"). Interest is
at a rate which approximates LIBOR plus 2.50% and is secured by all financial
assets of the Company. The credit agreement with LaSalle is subject to various
financial covenants to which the Company must comply. The covenants require the
Company to maintain certain ratios of profitability, cash flow, total
outstanding debt, minimum net worth and limits on capital expenditures. As of
September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
On March 21, 2002, the Company received approximately $7,200,000 from LaSalle
against this credit facility. The proceeds from the credit facility and
additional cash on hand were used to extinguish all outstanding debt
(approximately $8,700,000) with a prior bank.
On March 21, 2003, the Company amended the credit facility to extend the
termination date to June 20, 2003. No changes were made to any other terms and
conditions.
On June 20, 2003 the Company amended the credit facility to extend the
termination date to June 20, 2004. The line of credit under the facility has
been reduced from $10,000,000 to $8,000,000.
On June 19, 2003 the Company paid off the remaining outstanding balance
pertaining to the LaSalle credit facility.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of the following financial instruments approximate fair
value because of the short maturity of those instruments: cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and current installments of long-term debt. The
long-term debt bears interest at a variable market rate and, thus, has a
carrying amount that approximates fair value.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The
functional currency of NP Aerospace is the UK pound sterling. For consolidation
purposes, the assets and liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries are
translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The
consolidated statement of operations is translated at the average exchange rate
in effect during the period being reported. Exchange differences arise mainly
from the valuation rates of the intercompany accounts and are taken directly to
Stockholders' equity.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company reports operating segment data under SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".
Reinhold is a manufacturer of advanced custom composite components, sheet
molding compounds, and graphic arts and industrial rollers for a variety of
applications primarily in the United States and Europe. The Company generates
revenues from five operating segments: Aerospace, CompositAir, Commercial, NP
Aerospace and Bingham. Management has determined these to be Reinhold's
operating segments based upon the nature of their products. Aerospace produces a
variety of products for the U.S. military and space programs. CompositAir
produces components for the commercial aircraft seating industry. The Commercial
segment produces lighting housings and pool filters. NP Aerospace, our
subsidiary located in Coventry, England, produces products for law enforcement,
lighting, military, automotive and commercial aircraft. Bingham manufactures
rubber and urethane rollers for graphic arts and industrial applications.
Prior to January 1, 2003, the company generated revenues from six operating
segments. Due to the similarity of customer base and markets served, on January
1, 2003, the Thermal Insulation and Aerospace operating segments were combined.
Prior year information has been changed to conform with the current
presentation.
The information in the following tables is derived directly from the segment's
internal financial reporting for corporate management purposes (in thousands).

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has been informed that it may be a potentially responsible party
("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), with respect to certain
environmental liabilities arising at the Valley Forge National Historical Park
Site ("Valley Forge Site") located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and at a
site formerly known as the Casmalia Resources Hazardous Waste Management
Facility, located in Santa Barbara County, California ("Casmalia Site"). CERCLA
imposes liability for the costs of responding to a release or threatened release
of "hazardous substances" into the environment. CERCLA liability is imposed
without regard to fault. PRPs under CERCLA include current owners and operators
of the site, owners and operators at the time of disposal, as well as persons
who arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances sent to the site,
or persons who accepted hazardous substances for transport to the site. Because
PRPs' CERCLA liability to the government is joint and several, a PRP may be
required to pay more than its proportional share of such costs. Liability among
PRPs, however, is subject to equitable allocation through contribution actions.
On June 16, 2000 the U.S. Department of Justice notified the Company that it may
be a PRP with respect to the Valley Forge Site and demanded payment for past
costs incurred by the United States in connection with the site, which the
Department of Justice estimated at $1,753,726 incurred by the National Park
Service ("NPS") as of May 31, 2000 and $616,878 incurred by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as of November 30, 1999. Payment of
these past costs would not release the Company from a claim for future response
costs.
Management believes that in or about 1977, the Company's predecessor, Keene
Corporation ("Keene"), sold to the U.S. Department of Interior certain real
property and improvements now located within the Valley Forge Site. Prior to the
sale, Keene operated a manufacturing facility on the real property and may have
used friable asbestos, the substance which gives rise to the claim at the Valley
Forge Site.
On December 30, 2002, the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York approved and entered a Consent Decree agreed upon by the United
States and the Company settling the claims asserted by the National Park Service
against the Company. The United States and the Company stipulated that the EPA
will not seek reimbursement of its response costs with respect to the Valley
Forge Site and that the Company's claim for a declaratory judgment with respect
to those costs may be dismissed with prejudice.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Under the terms of the Consent Decree, the Company was obligated to pay $500,000
to the Department of the Interior. In return, the Company has received from the
United States a covenant not to sue, subject to certain limited exceptions, for
claims under CERCLA Sections 106, 107 and 113 and RCRA Section 7003 relating to
the Site. The payment to the Department of the Interior was made on January 23,
2003.
In September 2002, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies,
the Company recorded a reserve of $500,000 for the estimated cost to conclude
this matter. These costs were included in the December 31, 2002 balance sheet as
a component of "Accrued Expenses."
Pursuant to the Consent Decree and CERCLA Section 113(f)(2), the Company's
settlement with the United States bars any other party from asserting claims for
contribution for any response costs incurred with respect to the Valley Forge
Site by the United States, any state or other governmental entity, or any other
party.
With respect to the Casmalia Site, on August 11, 2000, the EPA notified the
Company that it is a PRP by virtue of waste materials deposited at the site. The
EPA has designated the Company as a "de minimis" waste generator at this site,
based on the amount of waste at the Casmalia Site attributed to the Company. The
Company is not currently a party to any litigation concerning the Casmalia Site,
and based on currently available data, the Company believes that the Casmalia
Site is not likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
REINHOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
September 30, 2003
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this
filing and the financial statements and notes thereto and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Reinhold Industries, Inc. ("Reinhold" or the "Company") is a manufacturer
of advanced custom composite components, sheet molding compounds, and graphic
arts and industrial rollers for a variety of applications in the United States
and Europe. Reinhold derives revenues from the defense contract industry, the
aircraft industry, the printing industry and other commercial industries.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's consolidated financial statements and related public financial
information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments
and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on
the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates
can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures
of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial
condition. The Company believes its use of estimates and underlying accounting
assumptions adhere to generally accepted accounting principles and are
consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are
reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout
the Company. Primary areas where financial information of the Company is subject
to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include
revenues, receivables, inventories, acquisitions, valuation of long-lived and
intangible assets, pension and post-retirement benefits, the realizability of
deferred tax assets, and foreign exchange translation. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition And Allowances For Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of ownership have passed to
the buyer. Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimated based on estimates of
losses related to customer receivable balances. Estimates are developed by using
standard quantitative measures based on historical losses, adjusting for current
economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts
for risk of loss. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and
assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Though
the Company considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic
conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates could have a
material effect on reserve balances required.
Inventories
We value our inventories at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, including material, labor and factory
overhead. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence equal
to the cost of the inventory. Product obsolescence may be caused by shelf-life
expiration, discontinuance of a product line, replacement products in the
marketplace or other competitive situations.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)
Fair Value Of Assets Acquired And Liabilities Assumed In Purchase Combinations
The purchase combinations carried out by us require management to estimate the
fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the combinations.
These estimates of fair value are based on our business plan for the entities
acquired including planned redundancies, restructuring, use of assets acquired
and assumptions as to the ultimate resolution of obligations assumed for which
no future benefit will be received. Should actual use of assets or resolution of
obligations differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated fair values
would be required. If a change in estimate occurs after one year of the
acquisition, the change would be recorded in our statement of operations.
Pensions And Post Retirement Benefits
The valuation of the Company's pension and other post-retirement plans requires
the use of assumptions and estimates that are used to develop actuarial
valuations of expenses and assets/liabilities. These assumptions include
discount rates, investment returns, projected salary increases and benefits, and
mortality rates. The actuarial assumptions used in the Company's pension
reporting are reviewed annually and compared with external benchmarks to assure
that they accurately account for our future pension obligations. Changes in
assumptions and future investment returns could potentially have a material
impact on the Company's pension expenses and related funding requirements.
Valuation Of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142
and SFAS No. 144, we assess the fair value and recoverability of our long-lived
assets, including goodwill, whenever events and circumstances indicate the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from estimated future cash
flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In doing so, we
make assumptions and estimates regarding future cash flows and other factors to
make our determination. The fair value of our long-lived assets and goodwill is
dependent upon the forecasted performance of our business and the overall
economic environment. When we determine that the carrying value of our
long-lived assets and goodwill may not be recoverable, we measure any impairment
based upon a forecasted discounted cash flow method. If these forecasts are not
met, we may have to record additional impairment charges not previously
recognized.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and
establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future
taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary
differences.
Cumulative Foreign Exchange Translation Accounting
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to translate
the financial statements of NP Aerospace from the currency in which they keep
their accounting records, the British Pound Sterling, into United States
dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses which are either
included within the statement of operations or as a separate part of our net
equity under the caption "accumulated other comprehensive loss."
Under the relevant accounting guidance, the treatment of these translation gains
or losses is dependent upon management's determination of the functional
currency of NP Aerospace. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary
transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll
and other expenditures would be considered the functional currency but any
dependency upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary's operations must
also be considered.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)
If any subsidiary's functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then
any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary's financial
statements is included in cumulative translation adjustments. However, if the
functional currency is deemed to be the United States dollar then any gain or
loss associated with the translation of these financial statements would be
included within our statement of operations.
Based on our assessment of the factors discussed above, we consider NP
Aerospace's local currency to be the functional currency. Accordingly, we had
cumulative foreign currency translation losses of approximately $685,000 and
$890,000 that were included as part of "accumulated other comprehensive loss"
within our balance sheet at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
respectively.
Environmental Liabilities
With respect to outstanding actions that are in preliminary procedural stages,
as well as any actions that may be filed in the future, insufficient information
exists upon which judgments can be made as to the validity or ultimate
disposition of such actions, thereby making it difficult to reasonably estimate
what, if any, potential liability or costs may be incurred. Accordingly, no
estimate of future liability has been included for such claims.
Comparison of Third Quarter 2003 to 2002
In the third quarter of 2003, net sales increased $2.3 million (17%) to
$15.9 million, compared to third quarter 2002 sales of $13.6 million. Sales in
the Aerospace business unit increased by $0.9 million (19%) to $5.6 million due
mainly to increased shipments of components related to the Minuteman III
Propulsion Replacement Program. Sales decreased by $0.9 million (54%) in the
CompositAir business unit to $0.8 million due to an industry slowdown. Sales
increased $0.2 million (29%) to $1.0 million in the Commercial business unit due
to higher shipments of pool filter tanks and heater covers, in-ground lighting
housings and production tooling. Sales at NP Aerospace increased by $2.0 million
(75%) to $4.6 million due primarily to additional sales of ballistic personal
protection products. Sales for the Bingham business unit increased by $0.1
million (3%) to $3.9 million.
Gross profit margin in the third quarter decreased from 32% in 2002 to 31%
in 2003. Gross profit margin for Aerospace decreased from 46% to 44% due to
changes in product mix. Gross profit margin for CompositAir decreased from 20%
to 4% due to lower sales volume. Gross profit margin for Commercial decreased
from 20% to 15% due to higher labor and overhead costs. Gross profit margin for
NP Aerospace increased from 28% to 33% due to higher sales volume. Gross profit
margin for Bingham decreased from 25% to 19% due mainly to higher material and
overhead costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2003
were $3.0 million (19% of sales) compared to $3.2 million (23% of sales) for the
same quarter of 2002. The decrease is due to $0.5 million in costs recorded in
2002 to settle the Valley Forge litigation offset by increases in other general
and administrative expenses of $0.3 million in 2003, consisting primarily of
$0.2 million in pension expenses.
Interest income of $0.01 million was realized in the third quarter of 2003
compared to interest expense of $0.07 million in the third quarter of 2002 due
to lower outstanding debt.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)
Income before income taxes increased to $1.9 million (12% of sales) in the
third quarter of 2003 from $1.1 million (8% of sales) in the same period of
2002. Income before income taxes for Aerospace was $1.7 million (31% of sales)
in 2003 compared to $1.7 million (35% of sales) in 2002 due to changes in
product mix. A loss before income taxes was realized for CompositAir in the
third quarter of 2003 of $0.1 million (-16% of sales) compared to $0.1 million
income (8% of sales) in 2002 due to an industry slowdown. Income before income
taxes for Commercial was at breakeven in 2003 compared to $0.044 million (6% of
sales) in 2002. Income before income taxes for NP Aerospace increased to $0.9
million (19% of sales) from $0.3 million (10% of sales) due to higher sales. A
loss before income taxes for Bingham of $0.3 million (-9% of sales) was realized
in the third quarter of 2003 compared to a loss before income taxes of $0.3
million (-8% of sales) in the third quarter of 2002.
A tax provision of $660,000 was recorded in the third quarter of 2003 as
compared to $394,000 in the third quarter of 2002. Income taxes for interim
periods are computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be applicable for
the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by
management.
Comparison of Nine Months 2003 to 2002
In the first nine months of 2003, net sales increased $9.1 million, or
22%, to $49.9 million, compared to 2002 sales of $40.8 million. Sales in the
Aerospace business unit increased by $3.4 million (26%) to $16.3 million due to
increased shipments of components related to the Minuteman III Propulsion
Replacement Program. Sales in the CompositAir business unit decreased $0.9
million (18%) to $4.1 million due to an industry slowdown. Sales increased $0.5
million (26%) to $2.6 million in the Commercial business unit due to increased
shipments of pool filter tanks and heater covers and in-ground lighting
housings. Sales at NP Aerospace increased $6.3 million (75%) to $14.6 million
due to increased shipments of body armor and other personal protection products.
Sales for the Bingham business unit decreased by $0.2 million (1%) to $12.5
million.
Gross profit margin in the first nine months increased from 31% in 2002 to
32% in 2003. Gross profit margin for Aerospace was unchanged from 2002 at 45%
for the first nine months of 2003. Gross profit margin for CompositAir increased
from 15% to 22% due to elimination of labor inefficiencies resulting from our
2002 consolidation of production facilities in Santa Fe Springs, California.
Gross profit margin for Commercial decreased from 22% to 17% due to higher
overhead expenses. Gross profit margin for NP Aerospace increased from 28% to
33% due to increased sales and the resulting absorption of fixed overhead
expenses. Gross profit margin for Bingham decreased from 26% to 22% due to
higher overhead costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of
2003 were $8.9 million (18% of sales) compared to $8.7 million (21% of sales)
for the first nine months of 2002. The increase is due to higher pension
expenses and estimated year-end management incentive compensation.
Interest expense, net, in the first nine months of 2003 decreased by $0.3
million due to lower outstanding debt and lower effective interest rates.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)
Income before income taxes increased to $7.2 million (14% of sales) in the first
nine months of 2003 from $3.5 million (9% of sales) in the same period of 2002.
Income before income taxes for Aerospace was $5.2 million (32% of sales) in 2003
compared to $4.3 million (33% of sales) in 2002 due to increased shipments of
components related to the Minuteman III Propulsion Replacement Program. Income
before income taxes for CompositAir was $0.3 million (7% of sales) in 2003
compared to $0.2 million (3% of sales) in 2002 due to the elimination of labor
inefficiencies that resulted from our 2002 consolidation of production
facilities in Santa Fe Springs, California. Income before income taxes for
Commercial decreased from $0.1 million (7% of sales) in the first nine months of
2002 to breakeven in 2003 due to higher overhead expenses. Income before income
taxes for NP Aerospace increased to $3.2 million (22% of sales) from $0.9
million (10% of sales) due to increased sales. A loss before income taxes for
Bingham of $0.7 million (-5% of sales) was realized in the first nine months of
2003 compared to a loss before income taxes of $0.4 million (-3% of sales) in
2002 due to generally poor economic conditions and higher overhead costs.
A tax provision of $2.6 million was recorded in the first nine months of
2003 as compared to $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2002. Income taxes
for interim periods are computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be
applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing review and
evaluation by management.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
Federal income tax purposes of approximately $21.2 million. The Company may
utilize the Federal net operating losses by carrying them forward to offset
future Federal taxable income, if any, through 2011. As more fully described in
Note 3 to the 2002 consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K,
benefits realized from loss carryforwards arising prior to the reorganization
have been recorded directly to additional paid-in capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2003, working capital was $15.7 million, up $5.2
million from December 31, 2002. Cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million held
at September 30, 2003 were $1.1 million higher than cash and cash equivalents
held at December 31, 2002 primarily due to the increased profitability of the
Company.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $5.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net cash provided by operating activities
totaled $4.1 million for the comparable period in 2002. The increase over the
prior period relates to improved working capital management and increased
profitability of the Company.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 totaled $1.9 million and consisted of capital expenditures and proceeds
from sale of assets. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 totaled $1.6 million and consisted of capital
expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 totaled $3.1 million and consisted of repayment of the $3.0 million
line of credit balance and repayment of long-term debt of $0.1 million. Net cash
used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
totaled $4.4 million and consisted of borrowings against the line of credit of
$7.2 million less subsequent repayments of $2.2 million and repayments of
long-term debt of $9.4 million.
Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)
Expenditures in 2003 and 2002 related to investing and financing
activities were financed by existing cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from
the LaSalle line of credit.
On March 20, 2002, the Company entered into a one year $10,000,000
revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle").
Interest is at a rate which approximates LIBOR plus 2.50% and is secured by all
financial assets of the Company. The credit agreement with LaSalle is subject to
various financial covenants to which the Company must comply. The covenants
require the Company to maintain certain ratios of profitability, cash flow,
total outstanding debt, minimum net worth and limits on capital expenditures. As
of September 30, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all applicable
covenants.
On March 21, 2002, the Company received approximately $7,200,000 from
LaSalle against this credit facility. The proceeds from the credit facility and
additional cash on hand were used to extinguish all outstanding debt with a
prior bank.
On March 21, 2003, the Company amended the credit facility to extend the
termination date to June 20, 2003. No changes were made to any other terms and
conditions.
On June 20, 2003 the Company amended the credit facility to extend the
termination date to June 20, 2004. The line of credit under the facility has
been reduced from $10,000,000 to $8,000,000.
On June 19, 2003 the Company paid off the remaining outstanding balance
pertaining to the LaSalle credit facility.
Management believes that the available cash, cash flows from operations and cash
available under the line of credit will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operating and capital expenditure requirements through at least September 30,
2004.
Stock Dividend
On April 30, 2003, the Board of Directors approved the distribution of a
10% stock dividend to shareholders of record as of May 16, 2003. As a result, an
additional 265,418 shares were issued on May 29, 2003. All common stock
information and earnings per share computations for all periods presented have
been adjusted for the stock dividend. The number of stock options outstanding
and the exercise price were also adjusted for the impact of the 10% stock
dividend.
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent that they are not
recitations of historical fact, constitute "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"). The words "estimate", "anticipate", "project", "intend",
"expect", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking
statements. All forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,
including, without limitation, statements and assumptions with respect to future
revenues, program performance and cash flow. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward looking statements which speak only as of the
date of this 10-Q. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly
release any revisions to these forward looking statements to reflect events,
circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this Form 10-Q or to
reflect the occurrence of
Management's Discussion and Analysis (cont'd)
unanticipated events. The forward looking statements in this document are
intended to be subject to safe harbor protection provided by Sections 27A of the
Securities Act and 21E of the Exchange Act.
2003 Outlook
The Aerospace business unit should outperform 2002 results due mainly
to Minuteman III PRP component shipments and additional sales of rocket nozzles.
The CompositAir business unit may be unable to match 2002 results due to the
impact of the continued slowdown experienced in the commercial airline industry.
The Commercial business unit should generate financial results comparable to
2002. NP Aerospace has experienced a significant increase in sales of personal
protection products (military helmets and body armor). Although future sales of
these products are largely dependent on unpredictable foreign government
spending, NP Aerospace should outperform 2002 results. At Bingham, our financial
performance continues to suffer due to poor economic conditions in the printing
marketplace. Additional sales expansion and cost reduction efforts are
continuing. This business unit continues to receive the highest levels of
management focus.
