AMERICAN BANK NOTE HOLOGRAPHICS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

American Bank Note Holographics, Inc. (the “Company”) originates, mass-produces, and markets secure holograms. Holograms are used for security, packaging and promotional applications. The Company operates in one reportable industry segment.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition (an amendment of SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition”).”  Specifically, sales and the related cost of goods sold are generally recognized at the latter of the time of shipment or when title passes to customers. In some situations, the Company has shipped product where the sale is contingent upon the customers’ use of the product. In these situations, the Company does not recognize sales upon product shipment, but rather when the buyer of the product informs the Company that the product has been used.  Additionally, pursuant to terms with a certain customer, completed items are stored on behalf of the customer at the Company’s on-site secured facility and, in that instance, sales are recognized when all of the following have occurred: the customer has ordered the goods, the manufacturing process is complete, the goods have been transferred to the on-site secured facility and are ready for shipment, the risk of ownership has passed to the customer and the customer has been billed for the order.

 

Customer advances represent payments received from customers for products which have not yet been shipped.  These customer advances are classified as current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers are included in sales and amounted to $92,000 and $316,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and $105,000 and $270,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively.  Shipping and handling costs are included in selling and administrative expenses.

 

BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. The basic weighted average number of shares outstanding were 18,483,720 in each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive potential shares of common stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the diluted number of weighted average shares outstanding was 18,808,489 and 18,823,452, respectively, which includes dilutive stock options of 324,769 shares and 339,732 shares, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the diluted number of

 

6



 

weighted average shares outstanding was 18,608,109 and 18,509,767, respectively, which includes dilutive stock options of 124,389 shares and 26,047 shares, respectively.

 

BUSINESS INFORMATION

 

Sales to MasterCard were approximately 37% and 45% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 36% and 28% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company entered into an agreement with MasterCard dated February 28, 2003, which replaced the agreement dated February 1, 1996, as amended.  The Company and MasterCard entered into an amendment to this agreement on September 29, 2003, in which MasterCard retained the Company to produce a new hologram for the Debit MasterCard and extended the agreement to February 28, 2011, subject to automatic renewal if not terminated by either party.  The loss of all or a substantial portion of the sales to MasterCard would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, accounts receivable from this customer totaled $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

 

Sales of VISA holograms to manufacturers of VISA credit cards were approximately 28% and 34% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 31% and 31% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The loss of a substantial portion of the sales to manufacturers of VISA credit cards would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Accounts receivable from these customers approximated $1.3 million at both September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

 

The Company purchases certain key materials used in the manufacture of its holograms and outsources certain key processes from third party suppliers, some of which are sole source relationships, with whom the Company does not have supply contracts. Any problems that occur with respect to the delivery, quality or cost of any such materials or processes could have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation expense for stock option grants made at an exercise price equal to or in excess of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.

 

Had compensation costs for the Company’s outstanding stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for those options consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and basic and diluted net income per share would have differed as reflected by the pro forma amounts indicated below:

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

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company originates, mass-produces and markets holograms. The Company’s holograms are used primarily for security applications such as counterfeiting protection for credit and other transaction cards, identification cards and documents of value, as well as for tamper resistance and authentication of high-value consumer and industrial products.  The Company also produces non-secure holograms for packaging and promotional applications.  The Company’s sales of holograms for security applications generally carry higher gross margins than sales for non-security applications.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s business is derived from orders placed by certain credit card companies, including MasterCard and manufacturers of VISA brand credit cards, and variations in the timing of such orders can cause significant fluctuations in the Company’s sales. Sales to MasterCard were approximately 37% and 45% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 36% and 28% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company entered into an agreement with MasterCard dated February 28, 2003, which replaced the agreement dated February 1, 1996, as amended. The Company and MasterCard entered into an amendment to this agreement on September 29, 2003, in which MasterCard retained the Company to produce a new hologram for the Debit MasterCard and extended the agreement to February 28, 2011, subject to automatic renewal if not terminated by either party.  Sales of VISA holograms to manufacturers of VISA credit cards were approximately 28% and 34% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and 31% and 31% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company does not have long-term purchase contracts with VISA and supplies holograms to approximately 50 VISA authorized card manufacturers pursuant to purchase orders. Currently the Company is one of two companies authorized to manufacture and sell VISA brand holograms to manufacturers of VISA brand credit cards. If either MasterCard or VISA were to terminate its respective relationship with the Company or substantially reduce their orders, there would be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Holograms are sold under purchase orders and contracts with customers. Sales and the related cost of goods sold are generally recognized at the latter of the time of shipment or when title passes to customers. In some situations, the Company has shipped product where the sale is contingent upon the customers’ use of the product. In these situations, the Company does not recognize sales upon product shipment, but rather when the buyer of the product informs the Company that the product has been used. Additionally, pursuant to terms with a certain customer, completed items are stored on behalf of the customer at the Company’s on-site secured facility and, in that instance, sales are recognized when all of the following have occurred: the customer has ordered the goods, the manufacturing process is complete, the goods have been transferred to the on-site secured facility and are ready for shipment, the risk of ownership has passed to the customer and the customer has been billed for the order. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, accounts receivable from this customer totaled $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

 

The Company purchases certain key materials used in the manufacture of its holograms and outsources certain key processes from third party suppliers, some of whom are sole source relationships, with which it does not have supply contracts. Any problems that occur with respect to the delivery, quality or cost of any such materials or processes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Sales may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to changes in customers’ ordering patterns. Customers do not typically provide the Company with precise forecasts of future order quantities. Quarterly demand for holograms may be materially influenced by customers’ promotions, inventory replenishment, card expiration patterns, delivery schedules and other factors which may be difficult for the Company to anticipate.

 

9



 

Cost of goods sold includes raw materials such as nickel, foils, films and adhesives; labor costs; manufacturing overhead; and hologram origination costs (which represent costs of a unique master hologram that is made to customer specifications and is an integral part of the production process). As a result, costs of goods sold are affected by product mix, manufacturing yields, costs of hologram originations and changes in the cost of raw materials and labor.

 

Selling and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and commissions for the Company’s corporate, sales, marketing and administrative personnel, marketing and promotion expenses, legal and accounting expenses and expenses associated with being a public company.

 

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

 

Sales.  Sales increased by $1.2 million, or 25.5%, from $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  The increase was primarily due to the implementation of new customer programs in the transaction card, identity document and product authentication markets.

 

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold increased by $0.3 million, from $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.  As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased from 45.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2003 to 41.5% for the same period in 2004.  The decrease of 3.7% was primarily due to the increase in sales volume.

 

Selling and Administrative.  Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses increased from 32.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 to 33.4% for the same period in 2004.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in selling expenses of $0.1 million primarily related to selling salaries, commissions, benefits and outside sales agent expenses and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, primarily due to salaries and benefits, professional fees, travel and recruitment.

 

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses remained relatively unchanged.

 

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income remained relatively unchanged.
