Zomax Incorporated

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.             Business Description

 

Zomax Incorporated (Zomax or the Company) is a leading international outsource provider of process management services.  The Company’s fully integrated services include “front-end” e-commerce support; customer contact center and customer support solutions; DVD authoring services; CD and DVD mastering; CD and DVD replication; supply chain and inventory management; graphic design; print management; assembly; packaging; warehousing; distribution and fulfillment; and returned merchandise authorization (RMA) processing.

 

2.             Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) have been reflected in the interim periods presented.  Due principally to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results may not be indicative of results for a full year.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2001.

 

3.             Royalties

 

                The Company has license agreements with certain companies for the use of certain CD and DVD manufacturing technology.  The Company does not necessarily have license agreements with every patent owner that may assert or has asserted a claim to royalties.  The Company accrues for royalties it believes are applicable.  The accrual is based on units sold and net selling price per the license agreements.

 

4.             Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

 

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method.  Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment.  Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life).  The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001.  The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective the first day of fiscal 2002.  The adoption of SFAS 142 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or

results of operations as the Company had no remaining goodwill or other intangibles as of June 28, 2002.  Amortization expense for the six months ended June 29, 2001, was $0.1 million.

 

5.             Shareholders’ Equity

 

On March 22, 2002, the Company filed a Form S-4 for a shelf registration of 15 million shares of common stock.  These securities can only be used for acquisitions of businesses the Company may seek to acquire from time to time.

 

6.             Comprehensive Income

 

The table below presents comprehensive income, defined as changes in the equity of the Company excluding changes resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders (in thousands).

7.             Ireland Employment Grants

 

The Company and the Ireland businesses have received employment grants from the Ireland Development Authority (IDA) totaling $3,454,000 during the period from 1995 through 2000.  These grants were awarded by the IDA for creating and maintaining permanent employment positions in Ireland for a period of at least five years.  Termination of any number of these positions within a five year period may result in the pro rata return of the grants based on the number of positions terminated compared to the number of new positions originally created, at the election of the IDA.  At June 28, 2002, the Company had reduced employment levels in Ireland below the levels for which the Company had received grants.  The IDA has informed the Company that it does not intend to seek repayment of any grant monies at this time nor in the foreseeable future.

 

8.             Acquisition

 

On February 21, 2002, Zomax signed an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase the business and substantially all the assets of Software Logistics Corporation (iLogistix).  iLogistix

provides supply chain services to leading technology companies and has operating facilities in the United States, The Netherlands, Singapore, Taiwan, Mexico, Ireland and Brazil.

 

                The closing of the transaction was scheduled for February 28, 2002, subject to significant closing conditions.  As of March 19, 2002, certain significant conditions to closing were not satisfied by iLogistix; therefore, the Company terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement.  The Company incurred and expensed transaction expenses of $1.3 million, net of tax, or approximately $.04 cents per share.  The Company had also deposited monies in an escrow of approximately $3.9 million which the Company believes iLogistix is required to refund with interest.  This escrow is recorded in prepaid and other expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

                On March 19, 2002, iLogistix filed a lawsuit in United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California against the Company for specific performance under the Asset Purchase Agreement and for unspecified damages and declaratory relief. Subsequently, iLogistix dismissed its claim for specific performance.  The Company has submitted an answer to iLogisitx’ legal action averring that the Asset Purchase Agreement had been properly terminated and that the legal action by iLogistix is without merit.  The Company is also seeking attorney’s fees and restitution of the $3.9 million escrow in connection with the proposed iLogistix transaction.

 

                On July 11, 2002, iLogistix sold substantially all of its assets to CMGI for consideration in excess of the amount under the Zomax contract.  Zomax has demanded a return of the $3.9 million deposit, payment of certain legal fees and payment of the breakup fee.

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

 

General

 

The Company is a leading international outsource service provider of process management services.  The Company’s fully integrated services include: “front end” e-commerce support; customer contact center and customer support solutions; DVD authoring services; CD and DVD mastering; CD and DVD replication; supply chain and inventory management; graphic design; print management; CD and DVD printing; assembly; packaging; warehousing; distribution and fulfillment; and RMA processing services.  The Company has facilities in the United States, Canada and Ireland.

 

The Company’s business has been characterized by short lead times for customer orders.  For this reason and because of the timing of orders, delivery intervals and the possibility of customer changes in delivery schedules, the Company’s backlog as of any particular date is not a meaningful indicator of future financial results.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Zomax prepares the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  As such, the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based upon the information available.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.  The critical accounting policies, which Zomax believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results, include the following:

 

Revenue recognition.  The Company records sales revenue at the time merchandise is shipped or as services are rendered.  For certain customers, merchandise is invoiced upon completion of orders, with shipment occurring based on written customer instructions.  In these cases, the customer accepts title to the goods as of the date of the Company’s invoice.  In each case of bill and hold sales, the Company ensures that the transaction complies with the conditions and considerations contained in Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 108 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

The Company records amounts being charged to customers for shipping and handling as revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.”

 

Accounts Receivable.  Zomax performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains a

 

10



 

provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified.  While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past.  Since the Company’s accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of  the Company’s accounts receivables and future operating results.

 

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Generally, Zomax builds inventory based on specific customer purchase orders.  In some cases, however, Zomax may have inventory risk due to customer requirements, certain decisions it makes regarding inventory purchases, overruns or other factors.  The carrying value of inventories have been reduced by an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories.  The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements.  In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method.  Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment.  Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life).  The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001.  The Company adopted SFAS 142 effective the first day of fiscal 2002.  The adoption of SFAS 142 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company had no remaining goodwill or other intangibles as of June 28, 2002.

Sales.  The Company’s sales were $45.4 million for the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of 12.4% from $51.8 million in the second quarter of 2001.  For the six months ended June 28, 2002, sales were $91.3 million, a decrease of 20.3% from sales of $114.6 million for the same period of 2001.  The decrease for the quarter primarily relates to a decrease in the average unit price of 31.3%, partially offset by an increase in unit volume of 28.0%.  Sales in the second quarter of 2002 continue to be negatively affected by the slowdown in the personal computers and software spending and worldwide economic uncertainty. During the quarter, the Company accepted orders for certain bulk CD replication that had the effect of lowering the average unit price, but efficiently utilizing excess plant capacity.  The Company has limited visibility into the third quarter, but expects revenues to approximate the second quarter within a range of plus or minus 10%.

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 81.3% and 75.0% for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, cost of sales as a percentage of sales were 80.9% and 75.7%, respectively.  The second quarter increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the decrease in the average unit price and increase in the units sold.  In addition, fixed costs increased as a percentage of sales due to the decrease in sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.3% and 15.0% for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, selling, general and administrative expenses were 19.5% and 14.2% of sales, respectively.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million to $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2002, as compared to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2001.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 28, 2002 include due diligence expenses of $1.8 million, before tax.  The due diligence expenses related to due diligence performed to investigate possible acquisitions.

 

Equity in losses of unconsolidated entity. The Company owns a 25.2% equity interest in Microgistix, Inc., an Internet based reseller of software, and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.  In December 2001, the Company wrote off its remaining investment in Microgistix.  Based on Microgistix’s historical operating results and cash flow requirements, the Company could not foresee that it would be able to recover the carrying amount of its investment in Microgistix or that Microgistix has the ability to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment.  Zomax is no longer required to recognize its share of the losses in the financial statements.  The Company recognized a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2001 and a loss of $0.4 million for the first six months of 2001.  The losses represented its share of Microgistix net losses and the amortization of excess purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired.

 

Interest income and expense.  Interest income was $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  For the first six months of 2002, interest income was $0.7 million, as compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2001.  Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively.  For the first six months of 2002, interest expense was $0.1 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2001.  Interest income decreased due to the lowering of interest rates.  There was a decrease in interest expense as a result of lower outstanding borrowings.

 

Other expenses, net.  Other expense consists of foreign currency losses.

 

Provision for income taxes.  The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 was 36.1%, as compared to 36.3% for the second quarter of 2001.  The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2002 was 34.0% as compared to 36.3% for the same period in 2001.  The decrease in the effective income tax rate in 2002 is due to a decrease in U.S. based income taxed at a higher rate.

 

12



 

Net income.  Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $0.9 million, as compared to net income of $3.5 million in 2001.  Net income for the first six months of 2002 was $0.1 million as compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2001.  Diluted earnings per share were $.03 for the second quarter of 2002, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $.11 in the second quarter of 2001.  Diluted earnings per share were $.00 for the first six months of 2002, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $.24 for the same period in 2001.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

                As of June 28, 2002, the Company had working capital of $95.0 million, as compared to working capital of $89.9 million as of December 28, 2001.  As of June 28, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $79.9 million.

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2002 was $4.0 million, compared to $15.1 million during the first six months of 2001.  The lower operating cash flow in 2002 was primarily due to a decrease in net income and the $3.9 million escrow payment related to the  iLogistix transaction.

 

                Cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2002 and 2001 was $0.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively.  The cash used was primarily for the purchase of property and equipment in both periods.

 

                Cash used in financing activities during the first six months of 2002 was $0.7 million, as compared to cash used of $0.8 million during the first six months of 2001.  In 2002, the Company received $0.8 million from the issuance of common stock, as compared to $1.3 million in 2001.  The issuance of common stock was pursuant to the Company’s on going Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Stock Option Plan.  The Company repaid principal on notes payable totaling $1.5 million in the first six months of 2002 and $2.0 million for the same period in 2001.

 

As of June 28, 2002, the Company had a revolving line of credit facility with available borrowings up to $25.0 million.  Such borrowings are limited to an amount based on a formula using eligible accounts receivable and inventories.  There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit facility at June 28, 2002.

 

                Future liquidity needs will depend on, among other factors, the timing of capital expenditures and expenditures in connection with any acquisitions, changes in customer order volume and the timing and collection of receivables.  The Company believes that existing cash balances, anticipated cash flow from operations and amounts available under existing credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its operations for the foreseeable future.

 

Inflation

 

Historically, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company.  The cost of the Company’s products, however, is influenced by the cost of raw materials and labor.  There can be no

assurance that the Company will be able to pass on any increased costs to its customers in the future.

Seasonality

 

The demand for CDs and related services is seasonal, with demand increasing in the fall due to the new school year and holiday season purchases.  This seasonality could result in significant quarterly variations in financial results, with the third and fourth quarters generally being the strongest in terms of revenue.

 

Outlook

 

The statements contained in this Outlook section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are based on current expectations.  Some of these statements, including the statement related to estimated revenues in the third quarter, are forward-looking and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “possible,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “forecast” and similar words or expressions.  The Company’s forward-looking statements generally relate to its growth strategy, financial results, sales efforts, acquisition plans and cash requirements.  There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein.  Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including among others those identified below.

 

Although it is not possible to create a comprehensive list of all factors that may cause actual results to differ from the Company’s forward-looking statements, such factors include, among others, (i) the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy, including the integration of newly acquired and geographically dispersed operations; (ii) the Company’s ability to attract and retain a skilled and qualified workforce in diverse locations; (iii) the Company’s reliance on a few key customer and strategic relationships, including those with Microsoft; (iv) the trend of consolidation in the industry and the ability of the Company to effectively compete in an intensely competitive environment; (v) the Company’s ability to identify desirable acquisition candidates and enter into acceptable purchase agreements with those candidates; (vi) the development of new products or technologies by competitors, technological obsolescence and other changes in competitive factors; (vii) risks associated with establishing and maintaining international operations; (viii) the risks associated with price declines; (ix) the Company’s dependence on its ability to obtain and maintain licenses to use patented technology in its manufacturing operations; and (x) general economic factors over which the Company has no control.

 

The Company believes the worldwide demand for CDs has declined due to the economic slowdown in the PC and software markets and the continuing uncertainty in the worldwide economy.  Unit prices may continue to decline due to the overcapacity in the industry.

 

If CD market demand and unit prices continue to decline, the Company’s revenues will be directly and adversely impacted and manufacturing capacity will be further underutilized.

Pricing strategies of competitors and general economic factors, such as consumer confidence and inflation, directly impact the Company.  A substantial part of the Company’s revenue is derived from a small number of key customers, and revenues will be significantly lower than expected if the Company cannot retain these customers.  In addition, if the Company does not respond rapidly to technological changes, it is subject to the loss of some of its customer base which will materially and adversely effect revenue.

 

The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, but investors are advised to consult any further disclosures by the Company on this subject in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K (if any), in which the Company discusses in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results.  It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors.  As such, investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Foreign Currency. A portion of the Company’s operations are located in the foreign jurisdictions of Ireland and Canada.  The Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by factors, including, but not limited to, changes in foreign currency or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.  In addition, product sales and services are affected by the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies.

 

Foreign currency gains and losses are reflected in the Company’s financial statements.  The net exchange loss was $0.1 million for the second quarter ended June 28, 2002.  The Company believes that it will continue to incur exchange gains and losses from foreign operations in the future.

 

Interest. As of June 28, 2002, the Company had total outstanding debt of $5.3 million, with interest rates that are tied to the prime rate or LIBOR.  Therefore, the Company is subject to exposure to interest rate risk for these borrowings based on fluctuations in the interest rates.  Based upon the outstanding indebtedness as of June 28, 2002, an increase in the interest rates of 1.0% would cause a corresponding increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $0.1 million.
