FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q REGARDING EXPECTED OR POSSIBLE FUTURE EVENTS, INCLUDING STATEMENTS OF THE PLANS AND OBJECTIVES OF MANAGEMENT FOR FUTURE GROWTH, OPERATIONS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND STATEMENTS RELATING TO FUTURE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE, IS FORWARD-LOOKING AND SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. FOR THOSE STATEMENTS, THE COMPANY CLAIMS THE PROTECTION OF THE SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS PROVIDED FOR BY SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY, WHICH, ALTHOUGH BELIEVED TO BE REASONABLE, ARE INHERENTLY UNCERTAIN. THEREFORE, UNDUE RELIANCE SHOULD NOT BE PLACED UPON SUCH ESTIMATES AND STATEMENTS. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT ANY OF SUCH ESTIMATES OR STATEMENTS WILL BE REALIZED, AND IT IS LIKELY THAT ACTUAL RESULTS WILL DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CONTEMPLATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: (1) INCREASED COMPETITION; (2) RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; (3) INCREASED COSTS; (4) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT UPGRADES AND DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY; (5) THE LOSS OR RETIREMENT OF KEY MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT; (6) THE INABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE BUSINESSES ACQUIRED IN THE FUTURE AND TO REALIZE ANTICIPATED REVENUE AND COST SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES; (7) INCREASES IN THE COMPANY’S COST OF BORROWINGS OR UNAVAILABILITY OF ADDITIONAL DEBT OR EQUITY CAPITAL; AND (8) CHANGES IN GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE MARKETS IN WHICH THE COMPANY MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, COMPETE. MANY OF SUCH FACTORS WILL BE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE COMPANY AND ITS MANAGEMENT. IN ADDITION, OTHER FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT THE FUTURE RESULTS OF THE COMPANY AND COULD CAUSE THOSE RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE DISCUSSED AT GREATER LENGTH UNDER “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” AND APPEAR ELSEWHERE IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT. THESE RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS EXHAUSTIVE, AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT UNDERTAKE, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE, ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT OCCURRENCES OR UNANTICIPATED EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH STATEMENTS.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q prior to September 30, 2002 included the accounts of Cooperative Computing Holding Company, Inc. (“Holding”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Cooperative Computing, Inc. (“CCITRIAD” or the “Company”). Holding has no assets or liabilities other than (1) its wholly owned subsidiary CCITRIAD and (2) its Redeemable Class A Common Stock, the net proceeds of which were contributed in full to CCITRIAD. The difference between the financial statements of Holding and those of CCITRIAD relate solely to the Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock is an obligation of Holding and not of the registrant and the registrant does not guarantee the Class A Common Stock. Prior years’ financial presentation resulted in the inclusion of the accretion of Holding’s Redeemable Common Stock of $3.9 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively, as well as its net loss to shareholders of $1.3 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively. Additionally, Holding’s balances for the Redeemable Class A Common Stock of $59.1 million as of March 31, 2002, and for stockholders’ deficit of $79.7 million as of March 31, 2002 were depicted. The cash flow for both companies was identical in each year presented. CCITRIAD, as the registrant, is presented in the following unaudited interim financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2003

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CCITRIAD have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by 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 six months ended March 31, 2003 may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2003.

 

Certain amounts in the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three and six months ended March 31, 2003.

 

2.   LEASE RECEIVABLES

3.   INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recorded income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2003 at an effective rate of 39.3%, which is based on the Company’s anticipated results for the full fiscal year. The Company’s income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory rate to income before income taxes due to the impact of permanent differences, such as meals and entertainment expense, and amortization of certain acquired intangibles.

 

4. COMMON STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Holding, the Company’s parent company, approved the grant of 435,650 options to the employees of the company at an exercise price equal to the then estimated fair market value of $2.50 per share under the Cooperative Computing Holding Company, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan.

 

The Company uses the intrinsic value method in accounting for employee stock options. Because the exercise price of the employee stock options is greater than or equal to the market price of the underlying stock, as determined by Holding’s Board of Directors, on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

5.   DEBT

 

On December 3, 2002, the Company replaced the Restated Senior Credit Facilities with a new three-year credit agreement comprised of a $35.0 million term loan facility and a $17.5 million revolving credit facility. The term loan facility is payable in quarterly installments from March 31, 2003 through December 31, 2005 and bears interest at CCITRIAD’s option either at (i) a margin of 3.5% applied to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Base CD Rate plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% or (ii) a margin of 4.5% applied to the Eurodollar Base Rate divided by the product of one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements. In March, June and September 2003 each quarterly installment is $2.0 million. The revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $17.5 million (including letters of credit up to a maximum of $10.0 million) and matures in December 2005. The new credit agreement includes restrictions on certain activities and financial covenant tests.

 

6.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS 143”). The statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The new statement establishes accounting standards for recognition of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost. The Company does not anticipate any material impact from this statement on its financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, (the Interpretation). The Interpretation requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The Interpretation also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and apply to existing variable interest entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company is evaluating the applicability of the Interpretation on its financial position and results of operations.

Historical Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2002

 

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $56.1 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 2%, from the $57.0 million recorded in the prior year’s period. Automotive group revenues for the second quarter were $28.4 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 11%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, primarily due to a decrease in systems revenue. The Hardlines and Lumber group’s revenues were $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of $2.5 million, or 10%.

 

Systems revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $17.4 million, compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of $0.5 million, or 3%. Systems revenues for the Automotive group for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $3.0 million to $3.9 million, as compared to last year, a decrease of 43%. The revenue decrease was primarily due to a higher number of customers upgrading their store systems in the previous year. Systems revenues for the Hardlines and Lumber group for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $3.5 million to $13.5 million, or 35%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The revenue increase was largely due to completion of contract development work and an increase of sales of add-on products to existing customers.

 

Services and finance revenues were $38.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 3%. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, services and finance revenues for the Automotive group decreased $0.3 million, or 1%, to $24.5 million. The Automotive group’s revenue decrease was predominantly due to lower customer support revenues.

In the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Hardlines and Lumber group’s services and finance revenues decreased $1.0 million, or 7%, to $14.2 million, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease was chiefly due to lower information product sales to manufacturers as a result of reduced sources of point of sale data available in the market, which we expect to continue.

 

Cost of revenue was $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 4%.

Cost of systems revenue was $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 11%. Cost of systems revenues for the Automotive group for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $2.6 million, or 50%, to $2.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in cost of systems revenues was mainly due to the decrease in systems sales. Cost of systems revenues as a percentage of systems revenues for the Automotive group was 67% and 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decreased cost percentage was principally due to a more profitable systems mix being sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Cost of systems revenues for the Hardlines and Lumber group for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $1.3 million to $7.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of 22%. The increase in cost of systems revenue was mostly due to the increase in systems sales. Cost of systems revenue as a percentage of systems for the Hardlines and Lumber group was 54% and 60% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decreased cost percentage was primarily due to a more profitable product mix sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

 

Cost of revenues for services and finance was $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1%. Cost of revenues for services and finance for the Automotive group for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $0.2 million, or 2%, to $10.9 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. Cost of revenues for services and finance for the Automotive group was down largely due to reduced utilization of hardware support services and to lower bad debt expense. Cost of revenues for services and finance for the Hardlines and Lumber group for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $0.3 million, or 4%, to $7.0 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. Cost of revenues of services and finance for the Hardlines and Lumber group increased predominantly due to greater utilization of hardware support services. As a percentage of automotive services revenues, cost of revenues for services and finance for the Automotive group remained unchanged at 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a percentage of Hardlines and Lumber group services revenues, cost of revenues for services and finance for the Hardlines and Lumber group was 49% and 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The percentage fluctuations are chiefly due to the decreased information product sales to manufacturers noted above and increased hardware support services.

Sales and marketing expense for the Hardlines and Lumber group for the six months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $0.8 million, or 8%, to $8.6 million, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in sales and marketing expense in the Hardlines and Lumber group was related primarily to lower bad debt expense. As a percentage of Hardlines and Lumber group revenue, sales and marketing expense for the Hardlines and Lumber group was 16% and 19% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

 

Product development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $0.4 million to $7.8 million, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2002. Product development expenses for the Automotive group for the six months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $0.6 million, or 9%, to $5.8 million. The decrease was largely due to lower facility costs and to greater software capitalization, due to certain projects being expensed in the prior year. As a percentage of Automotive group revenue, product development expenses for the Automotive group remained unchanged at 10% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Product development expenses for the Hardlines and Lumber group for the six months ended March 31, 2003 increased $0.2 million, or 9%, to $2.0 million. The increase was predominantly due to less software capitalized this year than last year. As a percentage of Hardlines and Lumber group revenue, product development expenses for the Hardlines and Lumber group remained constant at 4% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

 

General and administrative expense for the six months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $0.9 million, or 6%, to $13.3 million, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2002. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expense was 12% and 13% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was chiefly due to lower facility and communication costs.

Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2003 was $6.8 million compared to $7.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 10%. The decrease was due to a lower principal balance. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

As a result of the above factors, the Company realized net income of $9.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003, compared to net income of $3.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002, an improvement of $5.3 million, or 135%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On December 3, 2002, the Company replaced the Restated Senior Credit Facilities with a new three-year credit agreement comprised of a $35.0 million term loan facility and a $17.5 million revolving credit facility. The term loan facility is payable in quarterly installments from March 31, 2003 through December 31, 2005 and bears interest at CCITRIAD’s option either at (i) a margin of 3.5% applied to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Base CD Rate plus 1% and (c) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% or (ii) a margin of 4.5% applied to the Eurodollar Base Rate divided by the product of one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements. In March, June and September 2003 each quarterly installment is $2.0 million. The revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $17.5 million (including letters of credit up to a maximum of $10.0 million) and matures in December 2005.

 

As of March 31, 2003, the Company had $134.0 million in outstanding indebtedness, a decrease of $4.0 million from September 30, 2002. The Company’s outstanding indebtedness under its New Senior Credit Facility at March 31, 2003 included no borrowings on the Company’s $17.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility and $33.0 million of senior secured term loans. At March 31, 2003, a balance of $100.0 million on the Notes, due in 2008, bearing interest at 9% was outstanding. The remaining $1.0 million was related to lease financing and the debt matures in varying amounts over the next four years. A portion of the Company’s debt bears interest at floating rates; therefore, its financial condition is and will be affected by changes in prevailing rates.

 

The Company’s New Senior Credit Facility imposes certain restrictions on the Company, the most significant of which include limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, guarantees, payment or declaration of dividends, sale of assets, investments, capital expenditures, and transactions with affiliates. Under the Company’s New Senior Credit Facility, the Company is obligated to meet certain tests relating to certain financial amounts and ratios defined in the new credit agreement. At March 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

 

In addition to servicing its debt obligations, the Company requires substantial liquidity for capital expenditures and working capital needs. At March 31, 2003, working capital was $0.4 million compared to $(8.9) million at September 30, 2002. The increase in working capital primarily relates to increased system sales and operational efficiencies resulting in an increase in net income and cash. For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company’s capital expenditures were $6.6 million, including $3.9 million for capitalized computer software and database costs.

 

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the amounts available under its New Senior Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund its working capital and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to meet its working capital and debt service requirements, however, is subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. If the Company is not able to meet such requirements, it may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing from other sources on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
