GRIFFON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at September 30, 1994 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report to shareholders for the year ended September 30, 1994. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," for the year beginning October 1, 1994. Adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. At the February 8, 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders approved changing the Company's name from "Instrument Systems Corporation" to "Griffon Corporation." The name change became effective in March 1995. (2) Inventories - Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out or average) or market, are comprised of the following:
June 30, September 30, 1995 1994 ----------- ------------- Finished goods . . . . . . . . . . $20,982,000 $16,664,000 Work in process . . . . . . . . . 30,163,000 26,674,000 Raw materials and supplies . . . . 29,213,000 25,580,000 ----------- ----------- $80,358,000 $68,918,000 =========== ===========
(3) Net Income Per Share - Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock, and where dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. Shares used in computing per share results were 33,057,000 and 36,814,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and 33,821,000 and 37,408,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. (4) Notes Payable - In December 1994, outstanding borrowings under a long-term debt agreement were refinanced under a short-term line of credit. Interest on this obligation is at approximately the prime rate. (5) Long-Term Debt - During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company entered into an eight- year loan agreement with two banks. The agreement provides for up to $60 million of revolving credit for three years after which outstanding borrowings may be converted into a five-year term loan. Borrowings bear interest at rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate or at the prime rate. (6) Self-Tender Offer - In December 1994, the Company completed a self-tender offer for 3,002,840 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which were then retired, at a price of $8.75 per share. During the nine months ended June 30, 1995, approximately $28,200,000 was used to acquire 3,128,050 shares of Common Stock. (7) Acquisitions - During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company acquired two companies for the building products business for an aggregate price of $7,758,000. The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three months ended June 30, 1995 Net sales - Net sales were $135.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $10.0 million or 7.9% over last year's comparable quarter. Net sales of the building products business were $75.0 million, an increase of $11.6 million or 18.3% over last year. Acquired businesses accounted for $9.7 million of the higher sales. Net sales of the specialty plastic films business were $27.0 million compared to $29.0 million last year. As previously reported, a major customer of the specialty plastic films business has made a design change which substantially phased out the specialty plastic's thin laminate program during the first half of 1995. During the quarter, decreased sales of thin laminate ($6.3 million) were partially offset by the effect of higher selling prices ($2.3 million) and increased sales of other film products ($2.0 million). Net sales of the electronic information and communication systems business were $23.1 million compared to $23.4 million last year. Operating income - Income from operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 was $8.2 million compared to $12.5 million in last year's comparable quarter. Operating income of the building products business was approximately the same as last year. Increases from acquired businesses' operating income and higher selling prices were offset by increased raw material and other manufacturing costs. Operating income of the specialty plastic films business decreased by approximately $5 million compared to last year primarily due to the phase-out of the thin laminate program, delays in receipt of anticipated orders related to ongoing development projects and substantial cost increases for polyethylene resin used in its business. The Company has generally been able to pass on such increases to its customers in the past. However, the specialty plastic film industry has experienced a period of soft demand and excess production capacity. As a result, although the Company has implemented selling price increases, due to the magnitude of the cost increases and the economic conditions, such selling price adjustments have not fully compensated for the cost increases. Although raw material costs recently decreased, it is not known at this time if there will be further decreases or the extent that such decreases will be retained by the business. Operating income of the electronic information and communication systems business was approximately the same as last year. Nine months ended June 30, 1995 Net sales - Net sales were $388.9 million in the nine-month period ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $41.7 million or 12.0% over last year's comparable period. Net sales of the building products business were $213.5 million, an increase of $46.4 million or 27.7% over last year. Acquired companies accounted for $26.5 million of the increase, with the remainder of the increase principally attributable to increased unit sales of garage doors ($14.4 million) and price increases. Net sales of the specialty plastic films business were $81.2 million compared to $85.6 million last year, due primarily to the phase-out of the thin laminate program partially offset by the effect of higher selling prices ($6.3 million) and increased unit sales of health care and other film products ($5.8 million). Net sales of the electronic information and communication systems business were $63.9 million compared to $66.3 million last year, principally due to decreased revenues on certain military programs that are nearing completion. Operating income - Income from operations for the nine-month period ended June 30, 1995 was $26.5 million compared to $32.3 million last year. Operating income of the building products business increased approximately $3.8 million over last year's comparable period primarily due to the increased sales. Operating income of the specialty plastic films business decreased approximately $10 million for the reasons discussed above. Operating income of the electronic information and communication systems business decreased approximately $1.0 million due to the lower sales. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flow provided by operations was $2.4 million after reflecting a reduction of current liabilities of approximately $8.3 million. In December 1994, the Company completed a self-tender offer for 3,002,840 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $8.75 per share. During the nine months, a total of $28.2 million was used to acquire 3,128,050 shares of Common Stock. These purchases were funded by existing cash and marketable securities, which decreased due to the stock purchases and $7.8 million used for two acquisitions for the building products business. In June 1995, the Company entered into a $60 million eight-year loan agreement with two banks that provides revolving credit for three years after which outstanding borrowings may be converted into a five-year term loan. Borrowings bear interest at rates based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate or at the prime rate and may be used for general corporate purposes, including business acquisitions. Anticipated cash flows from operations, together with existing cash and lease line availability, should be adequate to finance presently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements.
