6 TRANSMATION, INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 - Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------ The consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, cash flow and stockholders' equity for the periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows at December 31, 1999 have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's March 31, 1999, annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Note 2 - (Loss) Earnings Per Share - ---------------------------------- Net (loss) income per share - basic - excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Net loss per share - diluted - is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Net income per share - diluted - reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and warrants were exercised. Note 3 - Long-Term Debt - ----------------------- At December 31, 1999, the Company was in violation of certain covenants relating to both the current portion of its long-term debt and to its long-term debt. Negotiations are underway with lenders with respect to such violations, however, as of the date of filing, no waivers of such violations had as yet been received by the Company from the lenders. 6
7 Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Condition - --------- The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of Transmation, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the nine and three month periods then ended. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------- This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Factors that may cause actual results to differ include general economic conditions and other conditions that might affect operating expenses. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- At December 31, 1999, the Company was in violation of certain covenants of its borrowing agreement with banks, and as of the date of this filing had not received waivers with respect to those violations from the banks. The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital are funds provided under its borrowing agreement with banks. If resolution with respect to such covenant violations with its lenders cannot be reached, the Company's future ability to access sufficient capital to sustain its needs would be jeopardized. In the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company recognized one-time pre-tax charges totaling $3,368,000 stemming principally from charges relating to inventory write-downs which resulted from lower sales than were originally anticipated, severance payments due to contractual obligations to the Company's former CEO, bank charges relating to the Company's failure to meet certain financial covenants of its bank loans, and a charge to the Company's reserve for uncollectible accounts relating to currency devaluations which occurred in Southeast Asia. During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Company reduced the amount of its trade accounts receivable by $1,989,000. This reduction resulted from improved collection results during the period. Trade accounts payable decreased by $4,055,000 during the same nine month period, primarily the result of the liquidation of payables acquired in the February, 1999 Metermaster acquisition. Bank debt increased by $979,500 during the period as the result of the foregoing. It is the Company's intention to continue to manage its balance sheet throughout the balance of the current fiscal year and to use cash generated to further reduce bank debt. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, Net Trade Accounts Receivable were reduced by $694,000, Trade Payables increased by $266,000 and accrued liabilities increased by $564,000. Bank debt was reduced by $1,980,000 during the quarter as the result of the foregoing. 7
8 Results of Operations - --------------------- Comparison of October 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999 - -------------------------------------------------- to October 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998 ------------------------------------ Sales totaled $19,281,366 in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to $16,830,499 in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 is primarily the result of the Company's acquisition of Metermaster in February, 1999. Cost of products sold totaled 83.9% of sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to 66.9% of sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 is primarily the result of an inventory charge the Company recorded in 1999 to reflect potentially excess inventories it has on hand at that date as the result of lower than anticipated sales during 1999. Sales and administrative expenses totaled 28.8% of sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to 25.1% of sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 is primarily the result of severance charges relating to contractual obligations to the Company's former CEO and to a write-off relating to potential uncollectible accounts which resulted from currency devalutions in the Far East. Interest expense totaled 5% of sales in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to 3.1% of sales in 1998. The increase in 1999 is the result of charges incurred as the result of the Company's failure to meet agreed-upon covenants with its lenders and higher average borrowings in 1999 compared to 1998. Comparison of April 1, 1999 - December 31, 1999 - ----------------------------------------------- to April 1, 1998 - December 31, 1998 --------------------------------- Sales totaled $58,526,565 in the nine months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $51,128,617 in the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 is primarily the result of the Company's acquisition of Metermaster in February, 1999. Cost of products sold totaled 73% of sales in the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 compared to 66% of sales in the same period ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 is the result of an inventory charge in 1999 recorded to reflect potentially excess inventory on hand at December 31, 1999 as the result of lower than anticipated sales during 1999 together with the fact that certain service locations and other operations acquired in the February, 1999 Metermaster acquisition had greater operating cost levels than have historically existed within the Company. The Company has and will continue to take action to reduce operating costs at all locations to appropriate levels. Selling and Administrative expenses totaled 25.8% of sales in the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 and 25.3% of sales in 1998. The increase in 1999 compared to 1998 is primarily the result of severance charges and a write-off of a potentially uncollectible account which resulted from currency devaluations in the Far East. Interest expense totaled 3.9% of sales in the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 compared to 3.3% of sales in the same nine-month period ended December 31, 1998. The increase in 1999 is the result of charges imposed by lenders resulting from the failure of the Company to meet its required financial covenants under terms of its loan agreement. 8
