NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
July 1, 1995
NOTE 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 Rule
10-01 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. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month
period ended July 1, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 30, 1995. For comparative
purposes, certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31,
1994.
NOTE 2--INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market.
NOTE 3--LEGAL MATTERS
In late summer 1983, the Company, together with co-defendants Allied
Corporation and E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co., settled approximately 115
individual tort actions arising out of alleged injurious exposure to
betanaphthylamine (BNA) by employees of Augusta Chemical Company and Synalloy
Corporation from 1949 to 1982. As part of the settlement, the Company agreed
to be responsible for certain future medical payments for approximately 80
individuals and for payment of certain amounts in the event an individual is
diagnosed as having bladder cancer. To date, only three individuals have
received payments under these settlements. The Company does not believe a
significant number of these individuals will have bladder cancer. The Company
also believes that it is not probable that any losses payable under the terms
of the settled cases should be in an amount to significantly impair the
consolidated operating results or financial condition of the Company.
Furthermore, based on the Georgia Supreme Court holding in Newton v. Synalloy,
254 GA. 174 (1985), it is not anticipated that future claims will be brought
against the Company.
On July 11, 1995, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with H.B.
Zachry ("Zachry") and the United States resolving the action, H. B. Zachry v.
Synalloy Corporation and Bristol Metals, Inc. v. U.S., in the 37th Judicial
District, Bexar County, Texas, arising out of the sale by Bristol Metals to
Zachry of pipe for use at an Air Force base. The specific terms of the
settlement are subject to a confidentiality agreement; however, the Company's
SYNALLOY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
(Unaudited)
contribution to the settlement was less than the $370,000 originally paid to
the Company for the pipe. The Company is aware of two other claims between
the government and contractors arising out of pipe purchased from Bristol.
The Company is not party to either of these actions nor is it, in the opinion
of the Company's counsel, bound by the terms of those actions. No separate
action has been brought against the Company.
The Company does not believe that either the amounts potentially involved in
the BNA settlements or unasserted, but potential, claims arising out of the
sale of pipe to two Air Force bases meet the disclosure requirements of Item
103 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, unless new information changes these
beliefs, these items will no longer be reported in the quarterly and annual
reports of the Company filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company is from time to time subject to various claims, other possible
legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters
arising out of the normal conduct of the Company's business. Management
believes that based on present information, it is unlikely that liability, if
any, exists that would have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated
operating results or financial position of the Company.
NOTE 4--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Income per share is computed using the weighted average shares of Common Stock
and dilutive Common Stock equivalents (options) outstanding during the
respective periods.
NOTE 5--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
On April 28, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-
two split of the Company's common stock. This was paid in the form of a stock
dividend on June 12, 1995 to shareholders of record May 22, 1995.
Accordingly, all share and per share information throughout the consolidated
financial statements has been restated to reflect this split. The par value
for the additional shares issued was transferred from capital in excess of par
to common stock.
SYNALLOY CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion of certain significant factors which
affected the Company during the quarter ended July 1, 1995.
Consolidated sales were $41,381,000 for the quarter and $75,957,000 year-to-
date reflecting 37 and 32 percent increases, respectively, over the same
periods one year ago. Consolidated net income increased 143 percent to
$4,613,000 for the quarter, or $.63 per share, and increased 128 percent to
$7,375,000 year-to-date, or $1.01 per share, over the same periods one year
ago.
Chemical Segment sales were $14,451,000 for the quarter and $27,624,000 year-
to-date reflecting five and four percent increases, respectively, over the
same periods one year ago. Operating income increased 30 percent to $2,435,000
for the quarter and 15 percent to $3,821,000 year-to-date, over the same
periods one year ago. Demand for textile dyestuffs, which represent the bulk
of the chemical business, remained weak continuing the same softness
experienced in the first quarter and in 1994. Sales and profits from these
products were down approximately six and 13 percent, respectively, because of
competitive conditions. However, sales of specialty chemicals almost doubled
compared to last year's second quarter, and their contribution to operating
income more than offset the decline in dyestuffs. Seasonal factors normally
make the third quarter the weakest for sales and profits from textile
dyestuffs. Price cutting by certain competitors and the question of when the
cyclically depressed demand will improve add uncertainty to the third quarter.
In addition, specialty chemicals sales and profits will decline from the
second quarter level because of completion of annual production volumes of
certain products.
Metals Segment sales were $26,930,000 for the quarter and $48,333,000 year-to-
date reflecting 64 and 56 percent increases, respectively, over the same
periods one year ago. Operating income increased 291 percent to $5,850,000 for
the quarter and 283 percent year-to-date, over the same periods one year ago.
Higher sales for the quarter and year-to-date were partly the result of a
significant increase in unit volume which was driven by stronger demand.
Substantially higher prices that passed on the higher cost of stainless steel
raw material made an even larger contribution to the sales gain. The surge in
operating income for the quarter and year-to-date resulted from the
convergence of three factors. Improved market conditions led to better
profitability industry wide, increased volume resulted in lower unit
production costs, and sharply rising prices generated profits from a large
inventory. Demand continues to be strong from most of the industries using
these products and current prices are much higher than they were in the second
half of last year. Based on this, the Company expects sales and profits in
the last half of this year to be substantially better than they were in the
comparable period in 1994.
Selling and administrative expense for the quarter and year-to-date were
approximately seven percent of consolidated sales which is consistent with
prior years' amounts. Interest expense increased significantly due to
increased borrowings needed for working capital requirements.
Cash flows from operations decreased $2,195,000 during the first six months of
the year compared to a $4,364,000 increase during the same period one year
ago. The significant increase in activity in the Metals Segment has caused an
expected increase in accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts
payable, of $12,495,000 from December 31, 1994. In June 1995, the Company
consolidated its two working capital lines into a single $9,000,000 line of
credit and borrowed $12,000,000 under a seven year Revolving Credit/Term Loan
Facility. The proceeds are being used to refinance an existing $7,000,000
note payable with the Bank and fund two capital expenditure projects totaling
$5,000,000. The Company expects that available cash and existing lines of
credit will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements, including
capital expenditures and payment of dividends over the near term.
