Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Consolidated
Net sales of $144.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, decreased by $5.9 million, or 3.9%, from net sales of $150.6 million for the prior year's first quarter. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the building products and heat treating segments due to weaker demand resulting from general economic conditions in those segments compared to last year's first quarter.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales of 18.8% in the first quarter of 2002 was comparable to 18.9% in the first quarter of 2001 despite slightly lower sales. This decrease was due primarily to higher direct labor, health care and fixed costs as a percentage of net sales due to lower sales volume partially offset by lower raw material costs in 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 12.2% of net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, in comparison to 12.4% of net sales for the same period of 2001. This decrease was due primarily to the elimination of $1.1 million of goodwill amortization due to implementation of new accounting rules in 2002 partially offset by higher labor and health care costs as a percentage of lower net sales.
As a result of the above, income from operations as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 increased to 6.7% from 6.5% for the prior year's first quarter.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $2.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates and average borrowings in 2002 as a result of decreased working capital requirements, due to inventory reduction efforts to meet sales levels, and the use of the proceeds from the Company's stock offering in mid-March 2002.
As a result of the above, income before taxes increased by $2.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 from the same periods in 2001.
Income taxes for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 approximated $2.8 million and were based on a 40.5% effective tax rate in both periods.

The following provides further information by segment:
Processed Steel Products
Net sales of $63.0 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 were comparable to net sales of $62.9 million for the prior year's first quarter. Increased volume due to increased auto production offset by selling price decreases, resulted in approximately the same net sales during both periods.
Income from operations increased to 11.9% of net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 10.6% for the prior year's first quarter. This increase was primarily due to lower raw material costs as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by increased direct labor, health care and fixed costs as a percentage of net sales.
Building Products
Net sales of $63.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, decreased by $5.3 million, or 7.7%, from net sales of $68.5 million for the prior year's first quarter. This decrease was primarily due to weaker demand due to general economic conditions and to fewer shipping days in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001.
Income from operations decreased to 3.9% of net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 5.7% for the prior year's first quarter. This decrease was primarily due to higher health care and fixed costs as a percentage of lower net sales, partially offset by lower raw material costs.
Heat Treating
Net sales of $18.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, decreased by approximately $700,000, or 3.9%, from net sales of $19.2 million for the prior year's first quarter. This decrease was primarily due to weaker demand due to general economic conditions and to fewer shipping days available in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001.
Income from operations decreased to 14.2% of net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 16.0% for the prior year's first quarter. This decrease was primarily due to higher health care, direct labor and fixed costs as a percentage of net lower sales.
11 of 15
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company's shareholders equity increased by approximately $54.8 million or 25.1% primarily due to the receipt of $50.8 million in net proceeds from the Company's stock offering. The proceeds were used to repay existing debt which reduced the Company's debt to capital ratio to 37.1% from 49.4% at year end. Additionally, working capital increased by $6.4 million to $111.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund its operations, including working capital, the purchase and funding of improvements to its facilities, machinery and equipment and to fund acquisitions.
Net income of $4.1 million plus depreciation and amortization of $5.0 million, totaling $9.1 million, combined with an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5.8 million, provided cash of $14.9 million. This cash was offset by $17.5 million used for working capital purposes, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $14.3 million as a result of increased sales for the last month of the first quarter of 2002 compared to the last month of the fourth quarter of 2001.
During the first quarter of 2002, net proceeds of $50.8 million from the Company's stock offering plus cash on hand at the beginning of the period were used to pay down $51.9 million of the Company's revolving credit facility, to fund operations, capital expenditures of $2.4 million and cash dividends of $.4 million.
At March 31, 2002, the Company's revolving credit facility was $310 million, with borrowings of approximately $155 million and additional availability of $155 million. In April 2002, the Company reduced the revolving credit facility by $35 million to $275 million in order to reduce charges for non-usage of the facility.
The Company believes that availability of funds under its credit facility together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity and capital resources necessary to support its principal capital requirements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 Business Combinations (FAS No. 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS No. 142). FAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only and that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized as assets apart from goodwill. FAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of goodwill be replaced with periodic tests of the goodwill's impairment and that intangible assets other than goodwill be amortized over their useful lives. The Company implemented FAS No. 141 and FAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 and is currently assessing the impact they will have on the Company's results of operations.
