The accompanying financial statements as of January 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003 and for the fourteen and twenty-seven week periods ended January 3, 2004 and the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 28, 2002 present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Eagle Family Foods, Inc. (“Eagle”) and the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Eagle Family Foods Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle. Eagle and Holdings are collectively referred to as the “Company,” unless the context indicates otherwise. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

The financial statements as of January 3, 2004 and for the fourteen and twenty-seven week periods ended January 3, 2004 and the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 28, 2002 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Holdings and Eagle for the year ended June 28, 2003. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.

 

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Statements:

 

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN No. 46R”). FIN No. 46R varies significantly from FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN No. 46”), which it supersedes. FIN No. 46R requires the application of either FIN No. 46 or FIN No, 46R by “Public Entities” (as defined in paragraph 395 of FASB Statement No 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”) to all Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”) created prior to February 1, 2003 at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003. All entities created after January 31, 2003 by Public Entities were already required to be analyzed under FIN No. 46, and they must continue to do so, unless FIN No. 46R is adopted early. FIN No. 46R will be applicable to all non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003 by Public Entities at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The Company does not believe that it has any SPEs as prescribed by FIN No. 46R, but continues to evaluate the applicability of FIN No. 46R for adoption during the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

In July 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS No. 150”). SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability, or as an asset in some circumstances. SFAS No. 150 applies to three types of freestanding financial instruments, other than outstanding shares. One type is mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or assets; a second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets; the third type is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, ties solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers’ shares. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The Company considered the classification of its redeemable preferred stock and determined that this stock is contingently issuable. Accordingly, these securities are outside the scope of SFAS No. 150 and adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Statements:

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106, and a revision of FASB Statement No. 132” (“SFAS No. 132”). SFAS No. 132 revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits” and No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” SFAS No. 132 requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The required information will be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. This includes expanded disclosure on an interim basis as well. The new disclosures are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim period disclosures required by this statement are effective for the interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, and thus will be effective for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

4. Divestiture Activities:

 

On December 24, 2003, the Company sold to Dean Specialty Foods Group, LLC the Company’s business of marketing, distributing and selling powdered non-dairy creamer sold under the Cremora and Cremora Royale brand names (“Non-Dairy Creamer Business”) and related assets, including inventory (“Non-Dairy Creamer Sale”). The purchase price was $12,201,000, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company recognized a loss of $1,097,000 on the sale, which included the book values of $3,433,000, $6,307,000, $2,260,000 and $201,000 for tradenames, goodwill, inventory and other prepaid assets, respectively. The Company incurred $1,097,000 of expenses related to the Non-Dairy Creamer Sale.

 

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the results of operations of the Non-Dairy Creamer Business have been classified as discontinued and prior period results of operations have been reclassified. Interest expense related to term debt required to be paid as a result of the sale had been allocated to discontinued operations.

7. Intangible Assets:

 

Effective June 30, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). In accordance with this standard, goodwill and certain other intangible assets have been classified as indefinite-lived assets that are no longer subject to amortization. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to an impairment test upon adoption and at least annually thereafter. As of June 30, 2002, the value of the indefinite-lived tradenames was determined using a royalty savings methodology and discounted cash flows. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $43,736,000 against tradenames. After completing the valuation and impairment of the tradenames, a market valuation of goodwill was assessed based on estimated future discounted cash flow earnings. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $12,878,000 against goodwill. The transitional impairment charge was recorded as a cumulative effect of an accounting change. The useful lives of intangible assets still subject to amortization were not revised because of the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The Company performed its annual impairment test of intangible assets during the period ended September 27, 2003, and determined there was no impairment. Pursuant to the sale of the Non-Dairy Creamer Business, the Company sold tradenames and goodwill with the book values of $3,433,000 and $6,307,000, respectively.

   $ 143,942     $ 184,674  
    


 


 

The Company is the borrower under a credit agreement, dated as of January 23, 1998 and as amended, which consists of (1) a $43.0 million seven-year revolving credit facility, including a $10.0 million swingline loan (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (2) an eight-year term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”). The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility is LIBOR plus 4.25%. The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 4.25% with the swingline loan portion bearing interest at the Prime rate plus 3.25%. The fair market value of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility at January 3, 2004 was approximately the carrying value.

 

The Company amended its Credit Agreement as of December 18, 2003 (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the lenders consented to the sale of the assets of the Non-Dairy Creamer Business and waived compliance with certain provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also sets forth minimum requirements for consolidated earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, sets forth maximum requirements for capital expenditures, and reduces the total allowable commitment by $2,000,000. The Company is currently in compliance with the abovementioned covenants.

 

The Company believes it will need to borrow the maximum amount on its Revolving Credit Facility by August 2004 because the Company manufactures the majority of its inventory during the first half of the calendar year for its November and December holiday season. In addition, the principal payments on the Term Loan Facility will increase from $2.9 million for the calendar year 2003 to $9.6 million for the calendar year 2004. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the liquidity to meet its financial obligations once the Revolving Credit Facility reaches the maximum amount allowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Company is in the process of reviewing alternative financing, which may include restructuring, replacing or amending its existing bank obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company can renegotiate its covenants, refinance its debt, or obtain terms that are favorable to the financial position and liquidity needs of the Company.

 

The Company’s $115 million of senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) are due January 15, 2008 and bear interest at 8.75% per annum, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The fair market value of the Notes was approximately $83,950,000 at January 3, 2004.

 

As of January 3, 2004, the Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $700,000 under the Revolving Credit Facility, as required by certain insurance policies.

9. Income Taxes:

 

Income taxes are recognized using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards as of June 29, 2002. The Company continued to record a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was $50,531,000 and $53,291,000 as of January 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the remaining reserve. Until such time, except for state and local tax expenses, the Company will have no reported tax provision, net of valuation allowance adjustments. In the event the Company was to determine, based on the existence of sufficient positive evidence, that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the currently realized amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.

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

 

General

 

Set forth below is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the fourteen and twenty-seven week periods ended January 3, 2004 and the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 28, 2002. With the exception of Stockholder’s Deficit, Redeemable Preferred Stock and intercompany payable, the financial condition and results of operations of Eagle are substantially consistent with that of Holdings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations relates to the business exclusive of the powdered non-dairy creamer business (“Non-Dairy Creamer Business”) unless otherwise described. In accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the results of operations of the Non-Dairy Creamer Business have been classified as discontinued and prior period results of operations have been reclassified.

 

Effective December 30, 2002, the Company closed the powdered non-dairy creamer manufacturing plant in Chester, South Carolina (“Non-Dairy Creamer Plant Closure”) and outsourced the production of powdered non-dairy creamer product to Dean Specialty Foods Group, LLC (“Dean Foods”). On December 24, 2003, the Company sold its Non-Dairy Creamer Business to Dean Foods (“Non-Dairy Creamer Sale”). The purchase price was $12.2 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company recognized a loss of $1.1 million on the sale in the fourteen week period ended January 3, 2004, which included the book values of $3.4 million, $6.3 million, $2.3 million and $0.2 million for tradenames, goodwill, inventory and other prepaid assets, respectively. The Company incurred $1.1 million of expenses related to the Non-Dairy Creamer Sale

 

The following table sets forth the consolidated results of operations as a percentage of net sales for the fourteen and twenty-seven week periods ended January 3, 2004 and the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended December 28, 2002.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $29.0 million for second quarter 2004 as compared to $28.2 million for second quarter 2003, an increase of $0.8 million, or 2.8%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold for second quarter 2004 increased to 56.5% from 54.5% for second quarter 2003. The increase in cost of goods sold is due to a changing sales mix that included a new product offering that has a higher unit cost than traditional sweetened condensed milk products. The new product offering is a premium dessert kit that utilizes the Company’s Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk product.

 

Distribution Expense. Distribution expense was $2.2 million for second quarter 2004 as compared to $1.9 million for second quarter 2003, an increase of $0.3 million, or 15.8%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, distribution expense for second quarter 2004 increased to 4.3% from 3.7% for second quarter 2003. The increase in distribution expense was primarily due to higher warehousing and freight costs.

 

Marketing Expense. Marketing expense was $4.6 million for second quarter 2004 as compared to $3.8 million for second quarter 2003, an increase of $0.8 million, or 21.1%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, marketing expense for second quarter 2004 increased to 9.0% from 7.4% for second quarter 2003. The increase was primarily due to marketing efforts to capture incremental opportunities within the growing Hispanic market. In addition, the Company invested in the development, test marketing and promotion of new premium dessert kits utilizing popular sweetened condensed milk recipes.

 

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expense. G&A expense was $2.1 million for second quarter 2004 as compared to $1.9 million for second quarter 2003, an increase of $0.2 million, or 10.5%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, G&A expense for second quarter 2004 increased to 4.1% from 3.7% for second quarter 2003.

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $0.7 million for second quarter 2003. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) effective June 30, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes indefinite-lived assets, but will annually evaluate the assets for impairment.

 

Operating Income. Operating income was $13.4 million for second quarter 2004 as compared to $15.2 million for second quarter 2003, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 11.8%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, operating income for second quarter 2004 decreased to 26.1% from 29.3% for second quarter 2003. The decrease in operating income was due to the change in product sales mix that included a new product offering as well as other items mentioned above.

 

Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $4.0 million for second quarter 2004 and second quarter 2003.

 

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of less than $0.1 million for second quarter 2004 and second quarter 2003. Such expense resulted from estimated state and local income taxes.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold was $45.6 million for first half 2004 as compared to $42.7 million for first half 2003, an increase of $2.9 million, or 6.8%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold for first half 2004 increased to 57.4% from 55.9% for first half 2003. The increase in cost of goods sold is due to a changing sales mix that included a new product offering that has a higher unit cost than traditional sweetened condensed milk products. The new product offering is a premium dessert kit that utilizes the Company’s Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk product. In addition, the aggregate manufacturing costs include increases that were partially offset by other manufacturing efficiencies.

 

Distribution Expense. Distribution expense was $4.2 million for first half 2004 as compared to $3.5 million for first half 2003, an increase of $0.7 million, or 20.0%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, distribution expense for first half 2004 increased to 5.3% from 4.5% for first half 2003. The increase in distribution expense was primarily due to higher warehousing and freight costs.

 

Marketing Expense. Marketing expense was $7.3 million for first half 2004 as compared to $5.8 million for first half 2003, an increase of $1.5 million, or 25.9%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, marketing expense for first half 2004 increased to 9.2% from 7.6% for first half 2003. The increase was primarily due to marketing efforts to capture incremental opportunities within the growing Hispanic market. The Company invested in the development, test marketing and promotion of new premium dessert kits utilizing popular sweetened condensed milk recipes.

 

General and Administrative Expense. G&A expense was $4.0 million for first half 2004 as compared to $3.8 million for first half 2003, an increase of $0.2 million, or 5.3%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, G&A expense for first half 2004 and first half 2003 was 5.0%.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $1.4 million for first half 2003. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142 effective June 30, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes indefinite-lived assets, but will annually evaluate the assets for impairment.

 

Operating Income. Operating income was $18.3 million for first half 2004 as compared to operating income of $19.3 million for first half 2003, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 5.2%. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, operating income for first half 2004 decreased to 23.1% from 25.2% for first half 2003. The decrease in operating income was due to the change in product sales mix including a new product offering as well as other items mentioned above.

 

Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $7.7 million for first half 2004 as compared to net interest expense of $7.9 million for first half 2003, a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates and lower average debt balances for first half 2004 as compared to first half 2003.

 

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of less than $0.1 million for first half 2004 and first half 2003. Such expense resulted from estimated state and local income taxes. The Company is carrying a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards until such time that sufficient positive evidence exists to support realization of these tax assets.

 

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations. Income from discontinued operations was $0.6 million for first half 2004 as compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $1.3 million for first half 2003. This represents the results of operations of the Non-Dairy Creamer Business. The Company sold the Non-Dairy Creamer Business on December 24, 2003 to Dean Foods. In second quarter 2003, the Company recorded a charge of $1.2 million to cover severance and other costs associated with the Non-Dairy Creamer Plant Closure.

 

Loss on Disposal of Discontinued Operations. In first half 2004, the Company recorded a loss of $1.1 million for the Non-Dairy Creamer Sale.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were $38.6 million and $52.3 million at January 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. The Term Loan Facility matures $4.8 million, $19.3 million and $14.5 million in the fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Company has a $43.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, of which $26.0 million was outstanding at June 28, 2003. Included in the Revolving Credit Facility is a $10.0 million swingline loan that is utilized for short-term borrowings for periods less than thirty days. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in fiscal year 2005 on December 31, 2004.

 

Interest payments on the Notes and interest and principal payments under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility represent significant cash requirements for the Company. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates and require interest payments on varying dates.

 

The Company’s remaining liquidity needs are for capital expenditures and increases in working capital. The Company spent $0.5 million on capital projects in first half 2004 to fund expenditures at existing facilities. The Company expects to spend less than $1.0 million on capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2004, which will consist of enhancements at existing facilities. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

The Company believes it will need to borrow the maximum amount on its Revolving Credit Facility by August 2004 because the Company manufactures the majority of its inventory during the first half of the calendar year for its November and December holiday season. In addition, the principal payments on the Term Loan Facility will increase from $2.9 million for calendar year 2003 to $9.6 million for calendar year 2004. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the liquidity to meet its financial obligations once the Revolving Credit Facility reaches the maximum amount allowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Company is in the process of reviewing alternative financing, which may include restructuring, replacing or amending its existing bank obligations. There

can be no assurance that the Company can renegotiate its covenants, refinance its debt, or obtain terms that are favorable to the financial position and liquidity needs of the Company.

 

Net cash from operating activities was $33.7 million and $37.3 million in first half 2004 and first half 2003, respectively, a decrease of $3.6 million. This decrease is primarily due to the additional costs associated with the Non-Dairy Creamer Sale and the investment in the new product offering premium dessert kit described above.

 

Cash from investing activities in first half 2004 was $11.7 million and cash used in investing activities in first half 2003 was $0.1 million. The Company received $12.2 million in proceeds from the Non-Dairy Creamer Sale in first half 2004.

 

Cash used in financing activities was $39.9 million and $36.2 million in first half 2004 and first half 2003, respectively, an increase of $3.7 million. The Company used the proceeds from the Non-Dairy Creamer Sale to pay down the Term Loan Facility.

 

As of February 6, 2004, GE Investment Private Placement Partners II, a Limited Partnership and Warburg, Pincus Ventures, L.P., Holdings’ principal stockholders, each owned $14.1 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company may enter into long-term contracts for the purchase of certain raw materials. At January 3, 2004, the Company did not have any long-term purchase commitments. The Company leases buildings and equipment under various noncancellable lease agreements for periods of one to five years. The lease agreements generally require the Company to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses related to the leased assets. The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key executives. Such agreements provide for annual salaries, bonuses and severance payments and include non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. The following table lists the Company’s commitments and contingencies at January 3, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

Seasonality

 

The Company’s net sales, operating income and cash flows are affected by a seasonal bias toward the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year due to increased sales during the holiday season. Three of the Company’s four major product lines (Eagle Brand and the Company’s other sweetened condensed milk products, Borden eggnog and None Such mincemeat pie filling) are consumed primarily during the November and December holiday season. In recent years, approximately 47% of the Company’s net sales have occurred in the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. Because of this seasonality, the Company’s working capital needs have historically increased throughout the year, normally peaking in the August/September period, requiring the Company to draw additional amounts on its Revolving Credit Facility during this period. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

Risk Factors

 

In connection with a review of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factors should be considered carefully.

 

The Company is reviewing refinancing options. There can be no assurance that the Company will have the liquidity to meet its financial obligations once the Revolving Credit Facility reaches the maximum amount allowed pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Company is in the process of reviewing alternative financing, which may include restructuring, replacing or amending its existing bank obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company can renegotiate its covenants, refinance its debt, or obtain terms that are favorable to the financial position and liquidity needs of the Company.

 

The Company has a significant amount of indebtedness. As of January 3, 2004, the outstanding indebtedness was $153.6 million, with maturities of $4.8 million, $19.3 million and $14.5 million in the fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, on the Senior Credit Facilities and $115 million in fiscal year 2008 on the Notes. This substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

  - make it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its obligations to creditors, including holders of its Notes, who could upon default require the Company to accelerate principal and interest payments;
  - limit the Company’s ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, the Company’s growth, research and development costs or other general corporate purposes;
  - require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on its indebtedness and corresponding interest, which will reduce the cash flow available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
  - limit the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and in the industry in which the Company operates;
  - increase the vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;
  - place the Company at a disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt; and
  - expose the Company to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations because some of the indebtedness bears interest at variable rates, which could result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates.

 

Any of the above listed factors could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business and results of operations and its ability to meet its obligations.

 

The Credit Agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities restricts management’s discretion in operating the Company’s business. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and tests, among other obligations. The Credit Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make acquisitions and make capital expenditures.

 

The markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive. The Company competes with large and established national and multinational companies, as well as smaller companies. Some of these competitors have,

 

21


Table of Contents

and new competitors may have, substantially greater resources than the Company has. Consequently, it cannot be assured that the Company will be able to compete effectively in the future.

 

The Company relies upon its suppliers and third party manufacturers. The Company purchases many of its raw materials from numerous independent suppliers. Milk is purchased through one cooperative at each of its manufacturing plants. Kava instant coffee, sweetened condensed milk marketed in Canada, and Borden eggnog are obtained in final product form from third party manufacturers. Any adverse change in any of the following could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations:

  - relationships with the Company’s suppliers or third party manufacturers;
  - financial condition of the suppliers or third party manufacturers; or
  - the suppliers’ or third party manufacturers’ ability to manufacture and deliver outsourced products on a timely basis.

 

There is no assurance that the Company could quickly or effectively replace any of its suppliers or third party manufacturers if the need arose. The Company’s dependence on these suppliers and third party manufactures could also adversely affect its ability to react quickly and effectively to changes in the market for its products.

 

The Company manufactures all of its U.S. sweetened condensed milk at two facilities and is dependent on such facilities for production. The Company manufactures sweetened condensed milk for the U.S. markets at its Wellsboro, PA and Starkville, MS facilities. These facilities are subject to the normal hazards that could result in any material damage to any such facility. Damage to the facilities, or prolonged interruption in the operations of the facilities for repairs or other reasons, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company cannot be certain of the results of its product innovations and marketing programs. The Company believes that its future success will depend, in part, upon its ability to develop, manufacture and market new products or line extensions to its existing product lines. The Company is making an investment in the development, test marketing and promotion of new premium dessert kits utilizing popular sweetened condensed milk recipes. The Company cannot predict whether it will be successful in the introduction, marketing and manufacture of this new product offering or any other new products. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop and introduce new products or improvements to its existing product, which satisfy customer needs or achieve market acceptance. The failure to develop products and introduce them successfully in a timely manner could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company is dependent on a concentrated customer base. The Company does not have long-term sales agreements or other contractual assurances as to future sales with any of its customers. In addition, continued consolidation in the retail industry has resulted in an increasingly concentrated retail base. To the extent such concentration continues to occur, the Company’s net sales and operating income may be increasingly sensitive to deterioration in the financial condition of its customer base, or other adverse developments involving the Company’s relationship with its customers.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to comprehensive public health regulations. The Company is subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated there under by the Food and Drug Administration. This comprehensive regulatory program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients, labeling, packaging and safety of food. In addition, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, as amended, prescribe the format and content of certain information required to appear on the labels of food products.

 

The operations and the products of the Company are also subject to state and local regulation through such measures as licensing of plants, enforcement by state health agencies of various state standards and inspection of facilities. Enforcement actions for violations of federal, state and local regulations may include seizure and condemnation of volatile products, cease and desist orders, injunctions and/or monetary penalties.

Table of Contents

The Company is subject to certain health and safety regulations, including regulations issued pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act. These regulations require the Company to comply with certain manufacturing, health and safety standards to protect its employees from accidents.

 

Management believes that the Company’s facilities and practices comply with applicable government regulations in all material respects, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur liabilities in the future. In addition, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, and more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, may give rise to additional expenditures or liabilities that could be material.

 

The Company’s operations and properties are subject to a wide variety of increasingly complex and stringent federal, state and local environmental regulations governing the storage, handling, generation, treatment, emission, and disposal of certain substances and wastes, the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. As such, the nature of the Company’s operations exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to environmental matters. The Company believes that it is substantially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations for the protection of the environment. Based upon its experience to date, the Company believes that the future cost of compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations and liability for known environmental claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. There can be no assurances that past material environmental liabilities will not be identified or that new material environmental liabilities will not be incurred. In addition, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, and more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, may give rise to additional expenditures or liabilities that could be material.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of significant judgment and estimates on the part of the Company’s management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies.

 

Marketing Costs. The Company offers market development funds, slotting, and other trade spending programs to its customers to support the customers’ promotional activities related to the Company’s product lines. The Company regularly reviews and revises estimates of costs to the Company, when deemed necessary, for the marketing programs based on actual costs incurred or revised spending level by the customers. Actual costs may differ significantly, as the performance from the marketing program may differ from previous expectations.

 

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost of goods sold principally determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews the value of the inventory, and based on the physical condition (e.g., age and quality) of the inventories and forecasted sales plans, may require adjustments, either favorable or unfavorable. These inventory adjustments are estimates and may differ if future economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from the Company’s expectations.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Changes in circumstances, such as technological advances or changes to the Company’s capital strategy, can result in the actual lives differing from the Company’s estimates. The Company periodically reviews the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment, and where warranted, changes are made that may result in acceleration of depreciation.

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill. Intangible assets are stated at fair value as recorded at acquisition and adjusted for impairment as deemed appropriately. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company reviews indefinite-lived assets for impairment, at a minimum, annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any such asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of the indefinite-lived tradenames are determined using a royalty savings methodology and discounted cash flows and the fair value of goodwill is determined using estimated future discounted cash flow earnings and market valuations based on these cash flow earnings.

Income taxes. Income taxes are recognized using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be recovered. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards as of June 29, 2002. The Company continued to record a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance was $50.5 million and $53.3 million as of January 3, 2004 and June 28, 2003, respectively. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the remaining reserve. Until such time, except for minor state and local tax expenses, the Company will have no reported tax provision, net of valuation allowance adjustments. In the event the Company were to determine, based on the existence of sufficient positive evidence, that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the currently realized amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Statements

 

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN No. 46R”). FIN No. 46R varies significantly from FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN No. 46”), which it supersedes. FIN No. 46R requires the application of either FIN No. 46 or FIN No, 46R by “Public Entities” (as defined in paragraph 395 of FASB Statement No 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”) to all Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”) created prior to February 1, 2003 at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2003. All entities created after January 31, 2003 by Public Entities were already required to be analyzed under FIN No. 46, and they must continue to do so, unless FIN No. 46R is adopted early. FIN No. 46R will be applicable to all non-SPEs created prior to February 1, 2003 by Public Entities at the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The Company does not believe that it has any SPEs as prescribed by FIN No. 46R, but continues to evaluate the applicability of FIN No. 46R for adoption during the third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

In July 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS No. 150”) SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability, or as an asset in some circumstances. SFAS No. 150 applies to three types of freestanding financial instruments, other than outstanding shares. One type is mandatory redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or assets; a second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets; the third type is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, ties solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers’ shares. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The Company considered the classification of its redeemable preferred stock and determined that this stock is contingently issuable. Accordingly, these securities are outside the scope of SFAS No. 150 and adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Statements

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106, and a revision of FASB Statement No. 132” (“SFAS No. 132”). SFAS No. 132 revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits” and No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” The new rules require additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. The required information will be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. This includes expanded disclosure on an interim basis as well. The new disclosures are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim period disclosures required by this statement are effective for interim period beginning after December 15, 2003, and thus will be effective for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal year 2004.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This section may contain forward-looking statements, which include assumptions about future market conditions, operations and financial results. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements in the future could differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements discussed or implied in such forward-looking statements herein and in prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings by the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements or advise of changes in the assumption on which they were based.

 

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the success of new product introductions and promotions, changes in the competitive environment of the Company’s products, general economic and business conditions, industry trends, raw material costs, dependence on the Company’s labor force, dependence on the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility to meet financial obligations, and changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, government rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Food and Drug Administration and environmental rules and regulations. Statements concerning interest rates and other financial instrument fair values and their estimated contribution to the Company’s future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date. This market information is often a function of significant judgment and estimation. Further, market interest rates and commodity prices are subject to significant volatility.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest Rates

 

The following table presents descriptions of the financial instruments and derivative instruments that were held by the Company at January 3, 2004 and which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments in order to manage or reduce market risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

 

For the liabilities, the table represents principal fiscal year cash flows that exist by maturity date and the related average interest rate. The variable rates are estimated based upon the six-month forward LIBOR rate. All amounts, except percentage rates, are reflected in U.S. dollars (in thousands).

    2005

    2006

    Thereafter

    Balance at

Fixed rate

                           $ 115,000     $ 115,000     $ 83,950

Average interest rate

                             8.750 %     8.750 %      

Variable rate

   $ 4,824     $ 19,294     $ 14,471     $ —       $ 38,589     $ 38,589

Average interest rate

     5.410 %     5.410 %     5.410 %     —         5.410 %      

 

As the table incorporates only the exposures that existed as of January 3, 2004, it does not consider exposure to changes in the LIBOR rate that arise after that date. As a result, our ultimate interest expense with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the interest rates that are applicable during the period. A 1% change in interest rate will cause a variance of approximately $0.4 million in forecasted interest expense.

 

Milk Hedging

 

The Company uses milk as a major ingredient in its sweetened condensed milk product line and is subject to the risk of rising milk prices that increase manufacturing costs and erode profit margins. By purchasing futures contracts, however, the Company establishes a known price for future milk purchases in order to protect against fluctuating milk prices. As of January 3, 2004, the Company had purchased 475 milk futures contracts, which settle during various months through December 2004, at a cost of $10.9 million and a current market value of $11.2 million, or an aggregate market gain of $0.3 million. The aggregate market value will increase or decrease based on the future milk prices.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This section may contain forward-looking statements, which include assumptions about future market conditions, operations and financial results. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements in the future could differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements discussed or implied in such forward-looking statements herein and in prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings by the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements or advise of changes in the assumption on which they were based.

 

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the success of new product introductions and promotions, changes in the competitive environment of the Company’s products, general economic and business conditions, industry trends, raw material costs, dependence on the Company’s labor force, dependence on the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility to meet financial obligations, and changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, government rules and regulations, including, without limitation, Food and Drug Administration and environmental rules and regulations. Statements concerning interest rates and other financial instrument fair values and their estimated contribution to the Company’s future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date. This market information is often a function of significant judgment and estimation. Further, market interest rates and commodity prices are subject to significant volatility.

The Company’s management reviewed the Company’s internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of January 3, 2004, the registrants carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the registrants’ management, including the registrants’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the registrants required to be included in the registrants’ periodic SEC filings.

 

(b) Change in internal controls.

 

There was no change in the registrants’ internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
