TAYLOR DEVICES, INC. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of OperationCautionary StatementThe Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Information in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation," and elsewhere in this 10-QSB that does not consist of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements." Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing, words such as "may," "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "outlook," "forecast," "anticipates," "presume," and "assume" constitute forward-looking statements and, as such, are not a guarantee of future performance. The statements involve factors, risks and uncertainties, the impact or occurrence of which can cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in such statements. Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, fluctuations in general business cycles and changing economic conditions; changing product demand and industry capacity; increased competition and pricing pressures; advances in technology that can reduce the demand for the Company's products, as well as other factors, many or all of which may be beyond the Company's control. Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results. The Company disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to the forward-looking statements herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto, or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Results of Operations A summary of the period to period changes in the principal items included in the condensed consolidated statements of income is shown below:
Sales under certain fixed-price contracts, requiring substantial performance over several periods prior to commencement of deliveries, are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting whereby revenues are recognized based on estimates of completion prepared on a ratio of cost to total estimated cost basis. Costs include all material and direct and indirect charges related to specific contracts. Adjustments to cost estimates are made periodically and any losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. However, any profits expected on contracts in progress are recognized over the life of the contract. For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company nets progress billings against the total costs incurred on uncompleted contracts. The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. For the three months ended August 31, 2007 (All figures being discussed are for the three months ended August 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2006.)
The Company's consolidated results of operations showed a 10% increase in net revenues and an increase in net income of 124%. Revenues recorded in the current period for long-term construction projects were slightly less (16%) than the level recorded in the prior year. Revenues recorded in the current period for other-than long-term construction projects (non-projects) were up approximately $850,000 or 72% over the level recorded in the prior year. This increase is primarily in sales of products to customers in aerospace and defense related fields. Gross profit increased by 6%. The gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the current and prior year periods was 38% and 40%. The Company's revenues and net income fluctuate from period to period. The increases in the current period, compared to the prior period, are not necessarily representative of future results.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 14% from the prior year. Outside commission expense decreased by 43% over last year's level. Outside commission expense was lower in this period due to higher commission rates on two large, long-term construction projects in production last year, offset slightly by a higher volume of sales subject to commission in the current year. Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by only 2% from last year to this. The above factors resulted in operating income of $621,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2007, up 81% from the $342,000 in the same period of the prior year. Other expense, net, of $46,000 is primarily interest expense and is $38,000 less than in the prior year. The average level of use of the Company's operating line of credit during the period decreased significantly from $3.7 million last year to $2.1 million this year. The line of credit is used primarily to fund the production of larger projects that do not allow for advance payments or progress payments. Stock Options The Company has a stock option plan which provides for the granting of nonqualified or incentive stock options to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. Options granted under the plan are exercisable over a ten year term. Options not exercised at the end of the term expire. On June 1, 2006, the Company adopted the stock option expensing rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, "Share Based Payment," using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company utilized the modified prospective approach of adoption under SFAS No. 123R which resulted in the recognition of $38,000 and $76,000 of compensation cost for the three month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006. The fair value of each stock option grant has been determined using the Black-Scholes model. The model considers assumptions related to exercise price, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected term of the stock option grants. Expected volatility assumptions utilized in the model were based on volatility of the Company's stock price for the thirty month period ending on the date of grant. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. treasury yield. The Company used a weighted average expected term. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model in estimating the fair market value of the Company's stock option grants:
August 31, 2007 August 31,
2006 These assumptions resulted
in: The ultimate value of the options will depend on the future price of the Company's common stock, which cannot be forecast with reasonable accuracy. A summary of changes in the stock options outstanding during the three month period ended August 31, 2007 is presented below:
Capital Resources, Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt The Company's primary liquidity is dependent upon the working capital needs. These are primarily inventory, accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, accounts payable, accrued commissions, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, and debt service. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been operations and bank financing. Capital expenditures for the three months ended August 31, 2007 were $208,000 compared to $32,000 in the same period of the prior year. There are no material commitments for capital expenditures as of August 31, 2007. The Company has a $5,000,000 line of credit with a bank. There is a $2,299,000 principal balance outstanding as of August 31, 2007, which is up from the $1,628,000 balance outstanding as of May 31, 2007. The outstanding balance on the line of credit will fluctuate as the Company's various long-term projects progress. The Company is in compliance with restrictive covenants under the line of credit and other financing arrangements, including Niagara County Industrial Development Agency Bond financing. Principal maturities of long-term debt for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the subsequent five years are as follows: 2008 - $155,000; 2009 - $138,000; 2010 - $72,000; 2011 - $27,000; 2012 - $27,000; and 2013 - $20,000.
Inventory, at $5,792,000 as of August 31, 2007, is 14% higher than the prior year-end. Of this, approximately 86% is work in process, 6% is finished goods, and 8% is raw materials. The work in process component of inventory increased by 19%. This change is the result of increased production activity on sales orders not accounted for using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Maintenance and other inventory represents stock that is estimated to have a product life cycle in excess of twelve months. This stock represents certain items that the Company is required to maintain for service of products sold and items that are generally subject to spontaneous ordering. This inventory is particularly sensitive to technological obsolescence in the near term due to its use in industries characterized by the continuous introduction of new product lines, rapid technological advances and product obsolescence. The maintenance inventory increased by 29% since May 31, 2007. This significant increase is primarily due to the reclassification, from current inventory, of a group of components used in the manufacture of a certain unit used in the aerospace field. There are no orders in the sales backlog for these products at August 31, 2007. These components will be used when units in the field are sent to the Company for repair or replacement. Management of the Company has recorded an allowance for potential inventory obsolescence. The provision for potential inventory obsolescence was $45,000 for each of the three month periods ended August 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company continues to rework slow-moving inventory, where applicable, to convert it to product to be used on customer orders.
The Company combines the totals of accounts receivable, the asset "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings", and the liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings", to determine how much cash the Company will eventually realize from revenue recorded to date. As the accounts receivable figure rises in relation to the other two figures, the Company can anticipate increased cash receipts within the ensuing 30-60 days. Accounts receivable of $4,187,000 as of August 31, 2007 includes approximately $348,000 of amounts retained by customers on long-term construction projects ("projects"). The Company expects to collect all of these amounts, including the retainage, during the next twelve months. As noted above, the current asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. Whenever possible, the Company negotiates a provision in sales contracts to allow the Company to bill, and collect from the customer, payments in advance of shipments. Unfortunately, provisions such as this are often not possible. The $1,855,000 balance in this account at August 31, 2007 is only slightly less than the prior year-end. Generally, if progress billings are permitted under the terms of a project sales agreement, the more complete the project is, the more progress billings will be permitted. The Company expects to bill the entire amount during the next twelve months. The balances in this account are comprised of the following components:
As noted above, the current liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings", represents billings to customers in excess of revenues recognized. The $478,000 balance in this account at August 31, 2007 is a $460,000 increase from the balance at the end of the prior year. Included in this balance at August 31, 2007 is $364,000 in advance billings on two long-term construction projects that are not yet in progress. The balance in this account fluctuates in the same manner and for the same reasons as the account "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings", discussed above. Final delivery of product under these contracts is expected to occur during the next twelve months. The balances in this account are comprised of the following components:
Summary of factors affecting the year-end balances in the asset "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings", and the liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings":
Other Balance Sheet Items The Company's backlog of sales orders at August 31, 2007 is $12.2 million, down slightly from the backlog value at the end of the prior year. $1.1 million of the current backlog is on long-term construction projects already in progress. Accounts payable, at $1,261,000 as of August 31, 2007, is approximately 27% more than the prior year-end.
