IOS Capital, LLC

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

Note 1:    Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of IOS Capital, LLC (“IOSC” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Note 2:    Notes Payable and Lease-Backed Notes

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company repurchased $9,500 of 9.75% notes payable due June 15, 2004 for $9,598. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company repaid $211,312 of lease-backed notes.

 

Note 3:    Asset Securitization Conduit Financing

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company pledged or transferred $232,890 in financing lease receivables for $196,732 in cash in connection with its revolving asset securitization conduit financing agreements. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $95,768 available under revolving asset securitization conduit financing agreements.

Note 5:    Financial Instruments

 

As of December 31, 2002, all of the Company’s derivatives designated as hedges are interest rate swaps which qualify for evaluation using the “short cut” method for assessing effectiveness. As such, there is an assumption of no ineffectiveness. The Company uses interest rate swaps to fix the interest rates on its variable rate classes of lease-backed notes, which results in a lower cost of capital than if we had issued fixed rate notes. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, unrealized gains totaling $3,375 after taxes, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Pursuant to General Instruction H(2)(a) of Form 10-Q, the following analysis of the results of operations is presented in lieu of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” we have identified below the accounting principles critical to our business and results of operations. We determined the critical principles by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We discuss these accounting policies at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we believe our most critical accounting policies include the following:

 

Residual Values.    IKON and IOSC estimate the residual value of equipment sold under sales-type leases. Our residual values are based on the dollar value of the equipment. Residual values generally range between 0% to 17% of retail price, depending on equipment model and lease term. We evaluate residual values quarterly for impairment. Changes in market conditions could cause actual residual values to differ from estimated values, which could accelerate the write-down of the value of the equipment.

 

Allowance for Receivables.    IOSC maintains an allowance for lease defaults for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of IKON’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make required payments, increases to our allowance may be required.

 

Our preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other financial statements filed with the SEC requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated condensed financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Three Months Ended December 31, 2002

Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2001

 

Total revenues increased by $2,625, or 2.7%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Lease finance income increased by $1,653, or 1.9%, due to the growth in the lease receivables portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

 

Office equipment placed on rental, with cancelable terms, by the IKON marketplaces to customers may be purchased by the Company. During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company purchased operating lease equipment of $11,805 compared to $8,730 during the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase in purchases is due to an increase in operating rentals written by the IKON marketplaces. Since the Company can service operating rentals more efficiently than the IKON marketplaces, substantially all of the operating rentals written by the IKON marketplaces are purchased by the Company. Rental income increased by $1,933, or 25.2%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002, primarily due to an increase in the operating lease equipment portfolio.

 

Other income consists primarily of late payment charges, various billing fees and interest income on restricted cash. Overall, income from these sources decreased by $961, or 17.8%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Interest income on restricted cash decreased by $309, or 48.5%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002, primarily due to the decline in short-term interest rates. Late payment charges and various billing fees decreased by $412 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002, due to new fee programs created in fiscal 2003.

 

Total expenses increased by $5,840, or 10.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001. Average borrowings to finance the investment in leases in the form of convertible subordinated notes, notes payable to banks, asset securitization conduit financing, lease-backed notes in the public market and intercompany borrowings with IKON remained consistent with $2,587,434 outstanding at December 31, 2002 compared to $2,582,922 outstanding at December 31, 2001. The Company paid a weighted average interest rate on all borrowings of 5.8% as of December 31, 2002 compared to 6.4% as of December 31, 2001. Primarily as a result of the decrease in the weighted average interest rate on all borrowings, interest expense decreased by $3,537, or 9.0%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, the Company’s debt to equity ratio, including amounts due to IKON, was 5.7 to 1 and 6.0 to 1, respectively.

 

8


 

Lease default, net of recovery income, increased by $6,474, or 161.5%, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001. Prior to October 1, 2002, the Company was involved in a shared recourse arrangement with the IKON marketplaces. This arrangement provided for net losses resulting from lease defaults to be shared equally. Effective October 1, 2002, the shared recourse arrangement with the IKON marketplaces was terminated, and the Company records the entire provision for lease defaults.

 

Depreciation expense increased by $1,543, or 24.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001 due to the increase in operating rentals. General and administrative expenses increased by $1,360 or 16.5%, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2001 due to an increase in rent expense due to the sale-leaseback of the Company’s property in fiscal 2002 and an increase in credit investigation expenses. In fiscal 2002, credit investigation expense was shared with the IKON marketplaces, however, such costs are recorded entirely by the Company in fiscal 2003.

 

Income before taxes on income for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased by $3,215, or 7.9%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002 as a result of the items above.

 

Taxes on income for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased by $1,267, or 7.8%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The effective income tax rate was 40% for each of the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The decrease in taxes on income is directly attributable to the decrease in income before taxes on income for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
