NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

 

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Global Imaging Systems, Inc.’s (together with its subsidiaries, “Global” or the “Company”) Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2003. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

NOTE 2. STOCK OPTION PLANS

 

In 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan under which, as amended to date, 3,320,000 shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to stock options granted or sold as restricted stock to directors, officers, and employees of and consultants to the Company. As of December 31, 2003, options to purchase 1,887,802 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 1998 stock option plan, and 542,823 shares of our common stock have been issued under the 1998 plan upon the exercise of stock options granted under the plan. Additionally, as of December 31, 2003, we have issued 102,500 shares of restricted stock under the 1998 plan and have issued no additional restricted shares during the nine months ended December 31, 2003. During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, options to purchase an aggregate of 308,000 shares were granted under the 1998 stock option plan with exercise prices ranging from $18.55 to $29.31 per share.

 

On January 25, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the Global Imaging Systems, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan under which we may grant options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock to employees of and service providers to Global, except for our executive officers and directors. Stock options granted under the 2001 stock option plan have the same terms as those granted under the 1998 plan. As of December 31, 2003, options to purchase 201,160 shares were outstanding under the 2001 stock option plan, and 75,440 shares of our common stock have been issued under the 2001 plan upon the exercise of stock options granted under the plan. During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, no options were granted under the 2001 stock option plan.

 

In addition to options outstanding under our stock option plans, 10,000 shares of our common stock are issuable upon the exercise of an option granted outside of our 1998 or 2001 stock option plans. This option is exercisable at a price of $12.00 per share.

 

We have adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. SFAS No. 148 allows for continued use of recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for grants to directors, officers and employees under plans. We apply the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for those grants. No stock-based employee compensation expense is reflected in net income related to our stock option grants as all options

granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation. Such disclosure is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of stock options that could be granted by us in future fiscal years or of the value of all options currently outstanding.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise of stock options, as well as the conversion of convertible notes into common stock.

 

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (shares in thousands):

NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2003, we acquired four businesses that provide office-imaging solutions and related services. Aggregate consideration, net of cash acquired, for these acquisitions was approximately $27,574, consisting of cash, 96,555 shares of our common stock

Table of Contents

(valued at $2,614, based on the fair value of the stock) and acquisition related expenses. Liabilities assumed in connection with these acquisitions totaled approximately $4,211. Fair value of total assets acquired in these acquisitions consisted of approximately $6,764 of tangible assets and approximately $27,096 of goodwill and other intangible assets. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, are included in the results of operations from the date of acquisition.

 

Under the terms of one of our acquisition agreements entered into during the nine months ended December 31, 2003, we committed to make a contingent payment of up to $500 in cash to the former owners of the acquired company on or before February 28, 2005. These contingent payments are based on the future profitability, specifically earnings before interest and taxes, of the acquired company.

 

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of our acquisitions for fiscal years 2004 and 2003 as if they had been consummated as of April 1, 2002. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the year prior to acquisition.

NOTE 6. DERIVATIVES

 

We enter into interest rate caps and swap agreements to hedge the fluctuations in variable interest rates and do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Effective November 12, 2002, we entered into a three-year swap agreement. This agreement effectively converted $20,000 of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, reducing the exposure to changes in interest rates. Under this swap agreement, we received an average variable rate of 1.2% and paid an average fixed rate of 2.7% for the period from March 31, 2003 to December 31, 2003. We have recognized a gain, net of tax, of approximately $45 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2003 related to the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap, which has been recorded in comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

Effective September 11, 2003, we entered into three interest rate cap agreements (caps) in the notional amounts of $20,000 each. These caps are not designated as a hedging instrument and as such are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in the fair value of the caps being recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as interest expense during the period of change. The change in the caps fair value resulted in our recognizing interest expense of $116, before tax, for the nine month period ended December 31, 2003. The caps limit our interest rate risk exposure to 4% for the related notional amounts. No payments have been received under the caps, which expire September 2005.

 

NOTE 7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. Interpretation No. 46, which was revised in December 2003, addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. Interpretation No. 46 is effective for interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Interpretation No. 46 is also effective for all other types of variable interest entities for periods ending after March 15, 2004. We do not currently have any interests that would change any of the entities currently included in our consolidation or require additional disclosures required by Interpretation No. 46.

 

NOTE 8. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Effective May 16, 2003, we have issued $57,500 of 4% convertible senior subordinated notes that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all our existing subsidiaries (the Guarantors), each of which we wholly own, directly or indirectly. We are a holding company and all of our operations are conducted by the Guarantors, we have no operations or assets separate from our investment in our subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2003. The discussion in this section contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the pace of our future acquisitions and overall growth, the benefits that will be realized by businesses we have acquired or may acquire, our future product and service offerings, pace of borrowings and future cash flows. These forward-looking statements are based largely on management’s current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ materially from these statements are:

 

  the departure of one or more of our executive officers or a substantial number of our core company presidents could disrupt our operations, divert the attention of our management, or otherwise adversely affect our revenues.

 

  the highly competitive nature of the markets we serve may result in changes in our competitive climate, which could require us to lower prices and therefore would reduce our revenues with no corresponding reduction in cost.

 

  our significant debt service obligations may exacerbate the affect on our cash flow if downturns in economic and business conditions hinder our ability to adjust to rapidly changing market conditions.

 

  covenants in our new senior credit facility impose operating and financial restrictions that limit our discretion on some business matters, which may affect our future financing plans or our ability to enter into certain types of strategic transactions.

 

  our dependence on our vendor relationships, the availability of products and our lease financing partners.

 

  some or all of our substantial amount of goodwill may become impaired, which would adversely affect our operating results.

 

  fewer than expected acquisition opportunities could slow our growth.

 

  recognition of unanticipated costs and delays associated with ongoing integration efforts.

 

  increases in borrowing rates and costs which could limit our acquisitions, cause us to reduce our pace of acquisitions or growth, or accelerate the time in which we need to obtain new financing.

 

  technological developments that may reduce demand for the products and services we sell or result in us facing increased competition to sell those products and services.

 

Information regarding many of these factors and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements is presented in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2003. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Overview

 

We are a leading provider of office technology solutions to middle-market businesses in the United States. We sell and provide contract services for automated office equipment, including

 

12


Table of Contents

copiers, facsimile machines and printers, network integration solutions and electronic presentation systems. We believe that the markets for our products and services are converging as technology advancements and innovation produce increases in automated office equipment functionality and networking capabilities. We offer solutions incorporating products from Konica, Canon, Ricoh, Sharp, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, InFocus, Sony and other leading companies from a network of 149 locations in 28 states and the District of Columbia. The contractual nature of our service and supply business, tailored lease financing programs, high level of repeat equipment purchases and our emphasis on superior customer service generate stable and recurring revenue streams. Since our founding in June 1994, we have acquired more than 60 businesses, all within the United States, which we have organized as a network of 16 core companies with corresponding satellite businesses. We believe the businesses we have acquired and the businesses we acquire in the future will benefit from our various programs and operating strategies. These benefits include increased operating efficiencies, the support of experienced and professional senior management, expansion of the types of office imaging products and services offered, increased access to capital and enhanced financial management.

 

Our revenues come from two sources: sales of equipment and related supplies; and sales of complementary services and equipment rentals. The growth of our revenues depends on the demand for the equipment we offer, our reputation for providing timely and reliable service, our competitors’ actions in the marketplace and general economic conditions. Sales of complementary supplies, parts and services are affected by equipment sales and rental volumes. Most of our service revenue is generated by contractual arrangements to service automated office equipment.

 

Our gross profit as a percentage of revenues varies from period to period depending on a number of variables including the mix of revenues from equipment, supplies, service and rentals; the mix of revenues among the markets served by us; and the mix of revenues of the businesses acquired by us. As we acquire businesses, the percentage of our revenues that come from sales of equipment and supplies, as opposed to service and rentals, fluctuates depending on whether the businesses acquired are primarily automated office equipment dealers or are network integrators or electronic presentation systems dealers. Automated office equipment dealers typically derive a higher percentage of their revenues from service and rentals and a lower percentage from sales of equipment and supplies than do network integrators or electronic presentation system dealers. Generally, sales of equipment and supplies have lower gross profit margins than revenues from service and rentals. In addition, equipment sales in the automated office equipment market generally have higher gross profit margins than equipment sales in the network integration or electronic presentation systems markets. To the extent these markets grow faster than the automated office equipment market, over time a larger percentage of our revenues and gross profits may be derived from sales that have lower gross profit margins than our current gross profit margins.

 

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of new equipment, cost of supplies and parts, labor costs to provide services, rental equipment depreciation and other direct operating costs. We depreciate our rental equipment primarily over a three-year period on a straight-line basis.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, vendor incentives, intangible assets and contingencies. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available

 

13


Table of Contents

information, historical results and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses arising from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We evaluate the need for adjustments to our allowance for doubtful accounts at least quarterly. Our estimate of losses is based upon prior collection experience, a review of specific customers and their ability to pay, and an overall appraisal of current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in a reduced ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required which would reduce net income.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. For equipment, cost equals either the average cost of inventory or, in the case of some specifically identified equipment inventory, the actual cost of that equipment inventory. For related parts and supplies, cost equals the average cost of inventory. We evaluate the need for adjustments to our reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory at least quarterly. We write-down our inventories for estimated obsolescence by an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventories and their estimated market values based upon an aging analysis of the inventories on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. These write-downs are reflected in our cost of sales. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional write-downs may be required which could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

 

Vendor Incentives

 

We receive incentives from some of our vendors related to volume rebates, cooperative advertising allowances and other programs or agreements. These incentive programs are generally for quarterly periods and do not vary significantly from quarter to quarter. There are a limited number of annual volume rebate programs offered periodically by some of our vendors. The potential rebate amounts offered by these annual programs is significantly less than the quarterly rebate programs. We do not record any volume rebate until it is probable that it will be earned and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We record unrestricted volume rebates received as a reduction of inventories and recognize the incentives as a reduction to cost of sales when the related inventories are sold. Cooperative advertising allowances are generally required by the vendor to be used by us exclusively for advertising or other marketing programs. These restricted cooperative advertising allowances are recognized as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses as the related marketing expenses are incurred. Amounts received or receivable from vendors that are not yet earned are deferred in the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, we receive early payment discounts from certain vendors. We record early payment discounts received as a reduction of inventories and recognize the discount as a reduction to cost of sales when the related inventories are sold.

 

Intangible Assets

 

As a result of our acquisition activity, we carry a substantial amount of goodwill, which is the excess of the cost of our acquired businesses over the fair value of the acquired net assets. We examine the carrying value of our goodwill and our other intangible assets as current events and circumstances warrant to determine whether there are any impairment losses. For goodwill, we test the

 

14


Table of Contents

recorded amount on the first day of the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if conditions change, by comparing the recorded value to estimated fair value. If indicators of impairment were present relating to other intangible assets and future cash flows were not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. To date, we have not recognized any impairment loss in the value of goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Contingencies

 

We accrue amounts for contingent obligations, including estimated legal costs, when the obligations are probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. As facts concerning contingencies become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are particularly sensitive to future charges include tax, legal and other regulatory matters which are subject to change as events evolve and as additional information becomes available during the administrative and litigation process.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table sets forth our total revenues, revenues by type and our estimated internal growth rates for all revenues during the periods indicated. We calculate the internal growth rate for each period by comparing total revenues earned by businesses that were part of our company during the entire subject period and the entire corresponding period in the prior year to the total revenues earned by those same businesses during the corresponding period in the prior year when the businesses were also part of our company. The internal growth rates provided are our best estimates of changes in total revenues that are not the result of business acquisitions during a particular period.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2003 were $187,484, which represents an increase of 10.8% over the same period in fiscal year 2003. The majority of the revenue growth was attributable to internal growth in automated office equipment revenues, electronic presentation systems and network integration solutions revenues. Our estimated combined internal growth rate for the three months ended December 31, 2003 was 7.5%. Additionally, revenues from four businesses acquired during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and one business acquired in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, that were not a part of our business for the full quarter last year, added to the revenue increase.

 

Equipment and supplies revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2003 were $140,534, which represents an increase of 12.0% over the same period in fiscal year 2003. Equipment revenues increased 13.3% and supplies revenues increased 5.7%, with the majority of the revenue growth due to the internal revenue growth of the existing businesses.

 

Service and rental revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2003 were $46,950, which represents an increase of 7.5% over the same period in fiscal year 2003. Service revenues increased 7.3% and rental revenues increased 9.4%, with the majority of the revenue growth due to the internal revenue growth of the automated office equipment business.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit of $71,754 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 reflected a 9.1% increase over the same period in fiscal year 2003. This is partially due to internal growth of automated office equipment revenues, which historically have higher gross profit margins than network integration solutions revenues and electronic presentation systems revenues. In addition, gross profit increased due

 

16


Table of Contents

to the acquisition of automated office equipment dealers in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and fiscal year 2003.

 

The gross profit margin for equipment revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2003 decreased 0.5 percentage points from the same period one year ago. This is primarily due to declines in gross profit margins of electronic presentation systems that were slightly offset by the increase in gross profit margins of automated office equipment and network integration solutions.

 

Supplies gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2003 increased 1.0 percentage point as compared to the same period one year ago, which is primarily due to an increase in automated office equipment supply gross profit margins.

 

Service gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2003 decreased 0.4 percentage points from the same period one year ago, which is primarily due to a decline in automated office equipment service gross profit margins.

 

Rental gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2003 decreased 4.3 percentage points from the same period last year, primarily due to increased rental depreciation expense as a result of an increase in new equipment in our equipment mix versus older fully depreciated equipment that resulted from an increase in new customer accounts and existing customer contract renewals.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A expenses, increased 7.6% to $49,717 for the three months ended December 31, 2003. This amount was 26.5% of total revenues compared to 27.3% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2002. These expenses increased principally due to the acquisition of four businesses in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and one business acquired in fiscal year 2003 that was not a part of our business for the full quarter last year. In addition to the increase from acquisitions, payroll and commissions and insurance expenses also increased. The decrease in expense as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of higher revenues in fiscal year 2004 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2003.

 

Intangible Asset Amortization

 

Intangible asset amortization was $125 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $143 for the same period in fiscal year 2003. This amortization relates to non-compete agreements and customer lists. The decline is due to certain agreements being fully amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2003.

 

Income From Operations

 

Income from operations was $21,912, or 11.7% of total revenues, for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $19,392 or 11.5% of total revenues for the same period in fiscal year 2003. Income from operations was positively impacted by the increase in combined revenues and gross profit as discussed above.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased 43.1% to $2,572 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $4,517 for the same period in fiscal year 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due

 

17


Table of Contents

to a lower average level of borrowings and lower interest rates. Interest expense includes the amortization of financing fees incurred in connection with our new senior credit facility and the 4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2008 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and our prior credit facility and the 10¾% senior subordinated notes due 2007 for the prior year.

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes was $7,504 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $5,964 for the same period in fiscal year 2003. The increase in income taxes was primarily due to increased pre-tax income for the three months ended December 31, 2003, slightly offset by a reduction in the effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 38.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 40.1% for the same period in fiscal year 2003. The decline in the effective income tax rate is due to a lower state taxes rate. The effective income tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to state and local taxes.

 

NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 were $556,723, which represents an increase of 12.2% over the same period in fiscal year 2003. The majority of the revenue growth was attributable to internal growth in automated office equipment revenues as well as in electronic presentation systems and network integration solutions revenues. Our estimated combined internal growth rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was 7.5%. Additionally, revenues from four businesses acquired during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and five businesses acquired in fiscal year 2003, that were not a part of our business for the full period last year, added to the revenue increase.

 

Equipment and supplies revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 were $419,386, which represents an increase of 13.5% over the same period in fiscal year 2003. Equipment revenues increased 14.6% and supplies revenues increased 8.7%, with the majority of the revenue growth due to the internal revenue growth of our existing businesses.

 

Service and rental revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 were $137,337, which represents an increase of 8.2% over the same period in fiscal year 2003. Service revenues increased 8.3% and rental revenues increased 6.9%, with the majority of the revenue growth due to the internal revenue growth of the automated office equipment business.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit of $210,994 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 reflected a 10.4% increase over the same period in fiscal year 2003. Gross profit primarily increased due to internal growth of automated office equipment revenues, which historically have higher gross profit margins than network integration solutions revenues and electronic presentation systems revenues. Additionally, gross profit increased due to the acquisition of automated office equipment dealers in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and fiscal year 2003.

 

The gross profit margin for equipment revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 remained flat from the same period one year ago.

 

18


Table of Contents

Supplies gross profit margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 increased 0.6 percentage points from the same period one year ago, which is primarily due to an increase in automated office equipment supply gross profit margins.

 

Service gross profit margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 decreased 0.9 percentage points from the same period one year ago, which is primarily due to a decline in automated office equipment service gross profit margins.

 

Rental gross profit margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 decreased 6.1 percentage points from the same period last year, primarily due to increased rental depreciation expense as a result of an increase in new equipment in our equipment mix versus older fully depreciated equipment that resulted from an increase in new customer accounts and existing customer contract renewals.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A expenses, increased 9.8% to $147,556 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. This amount was 26.5% of total revenues compared to 27.1% of total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. These expenses increased principally due to the acquisition of four businesses in the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and five businesses in fiscal year 2003 that were not a part of our business for the full period last year. In addition to the increase from acquisitions, payroll and commissions, insurance expenses and occupancy expenses also increased. The decrease in expense as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of higher revenues in fiscal year 2004 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2003.

 

Intangible Asset Amortization

 

Intangible asset amortization was $408 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $493 for the same period in fiscal year 2003. This amortization relates to non-compete agreements and customer lists. The decline is due to certain agreements being fully amortized during the nine months ended December 31, 2003.

 

Income From Operations

 

Income from operations was $63,030, or 11.3% of total revenues, for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $56,351 or 11.4% of total revenues for the same period in fiscal year 2003. Income from operations was positively impacted by the increase in combined revenues and gross profit as discussed above.

 

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2003 we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the amount of $8,433 related to the refinancing of our prior senior credit facility and the redemption of our 10¾% senior subordinated notes due 2007. The loss is made up of a prepayment premium of $5,375 for the early redemption of our 10¾% notes and a $3,058 non-cash charge for the write-off of the unamortized portion of financing fees related to those notes and the prior senior credit facility.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased 35.3% to $9,359 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $14,457 for the same period in fiscal year 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due to a lower average level of borrowings and lower interest rates. Interest expense includes the amortization of financing fees incurred in connection with our new senior credit facility and the 4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2008, both entered into during the first quarter of this year, as well as our prior credit facility and the 10¾% senior subordinated notes due 2007.

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes was $17,722 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $16,799 for the same period in fiscal year 2003. The increase in income taxes was primarily due to increased pre-tax income for the nine months ended December 31, 2003, slightly offset by a reduction in the effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 39.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and 40.1% for the same period in fiscal year 2003. The effective income tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to state and local taxes.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through internal cash flow, sales of equity and debt securities and bank financing, including the credit facility described below. These sources of funds have been used to fund our growth both internally and through acquisitions. We are pursuing an acquisition strategy and expect to acquire more businesses. As we continue to acquire more businesses, we may incur additional debt and seek additional equity capital.

 

On May 16, 2003, we issued $57,500 of 4% convertible senior subordinated notes in a private placement to institutional investors. The issuance of our convertible notes was the first part of a plan to refinance our long-term indebtedness. We used the net proceeds of approximately $55,500 from the offering to repay a portion of the amount outstanding under our prior senior credit facility. The convertible notes bear interest at 4%, payable semi-annually, and are convertible into our common stock at any time at the conversion rate of approximately 41.8550 shares per one thousand principal amount of the convertible notes. This is equivalent to a conversion price of $23.892 per share. The convertible notes may be redeemed on or after May 20, 2006, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices expressed as percentages of the outstanding principal amount:

 

Redemption Period


   Percentage

 

May 20, 2006 through May 14, 2007

   101.6 %

May 15, 2007 through May 14, 2008

   100.8 %

May 15, 2008 and thereafter

   100.0 %

 

The convertible notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by our current and certain of our future subsidiaries on a senior subordinated basis.

 

On June 25, 2003, we refinanced our prior senior credit facility by amending and restating the credit agreement for our prior senior credit facility. We refer to the amended and restated senior credit facility as our new senior credit facility. A portion of the available funds under our new senior credit facility was used to fully repay amounts outstanding under our prior senior credit facility. Our new senior credit facility is with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions, with Wachovia Bank, National Association serving as administrative agent. Our new senior credit facility is comprised of a $90,000 five-year revolving credit line and a $140,000 six-year term loan. The revolving credit line of

the new senior credit facility bears interest at rates ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% over LIBOR or from 1.00% to 1.50% over a base rate related to the prime rate, and will vary according to our ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term loan initially bore interest at a rate of 3.00% over LIBOR or 2.00% over a base rate related to the prime rate. The new senior credit facility provides for an unused commitment fee payable to the lenders and certain other fees payable by us and our material subsidiaries. The commitment fee rates range from .50% to .75% of the unused balance. We paid commitment fees of $461 and $324 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in connection with unused balances under both our prior and new senior credit facilities. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit line of the new senior credit facility may be repaid and borrowed over the life of the new senior credit facility, with a final maturity date of June 25, 2008. The terms of the new senior credit facility include various affirmative, negative, and financial covenants. Amounts borrowed under the new senior credit facility may be used to fund working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, subject to the lenders’ approval in the case of acquisitions with a cash purchase price of over $50,000 or an aggregate purchase price (cash, stock or other consideration) of over $75,000. As of December 31, 2003, we had $89,500 of additional borrowing availability under the revolving credit portion of our new senior credit facility. This amount has been reduced by $500 to reflect the aggregate amount of an outstanding standby letter of credit issued under the new senior credit facility to support our obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2003, no amounts had been paid under this letter of credit.

 

The final part of our plan to refinance our long-term indebtedness was completed on June 26, 2003, when we redeemed the entire $100,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding under the 10¾% notes. We paid approximately $109,300 to redeem the 10¾% notes, which amount represents the redemption price of $105,400 plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date of approximately $3,900. We paid the redemption price using a portion of the proceeds from our new senior credit facility.

 

On December 10, 2003, we amended the new senior credit facility to reduce the term loan interest rates to 2.50% over LIBOR or 1.50% over a base rate related to the prime rate. These new term loan interest rates are effective for six months, then adjust based on our debt ratings with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s debt rating agencies. At our current debt ratings, the interest rates would not change, while any debt rating increases would allow us to reduce either our margin over LIBOR or base rate by .25%.

 

Under the terms of one of our acquisition agreements, we may be required to make an additional payment of up to $500 in cash, on or before February 28, 2005, to the former owners of the acquired business based on the profitability of that business since we acquired it.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities of $45,965 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was primarily attributable to net income and decreases in inventory, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities of $37,966 during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was primarily for the acquisition of four businesses as well as the purchase of rental equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1,955 during the nine months ended December 31, 2003 was primarily for transactions related to our refinancing activities discussed above.

 

We believe that cash flows from future operations, together with funds available under our new senior credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our current and foreseeable operational needs and acquisition growth strategy.
