ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1INTERIM REPORTING:
The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. This information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim periods. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. ("the Company") Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rotocast Plastic Products of Tennessee, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended in June, 1999 by SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesDeferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," and in June, 2000, by SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," (collectively SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Under SFAS 133 an entity may designate a derivative as a hedge of exposure to either changes in: (a) fair value of a recognized asset or liability or firm commitment, (b) cash flows of a recognized or forecasted transaction, or (c) foreign currencies of a net investment in foreign operations, firm commitments, available-for-sale securities or a forecasted transaction. Depending upon the effectiveness of the hedge and/or the transaction being hedged, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument is either recognized in earnings in the current year, deferred to future periods, or recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of all derivative instruments not recognized as hedge accounting are recognized in current year earnings. SFAS 133 is required for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. On July 1, 2000 the Company adopted SFAS 133. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company's interest rate swap was designated as a hedge. On the initial adoption date of SFAS 133, the Company recorded the fair value of its derivative on the balance sheet as an asset valued at $109,400 with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income. The related unrealized loss of $260,200 during the nine months ended March 31, 2001 has been recognized in the comprehensive income component of stockholders' equity.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" in 1998. This statement requires that all items that meet the definition of components of comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements for the period in which they are recognized. Components of comprehensive income include revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are included in comprehensive income, but excluded from net income. The Company's reconciliation of net income, as reported, to comprehensive income, as defined, is included in the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).
On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition, to provide guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. While SAB No. 101 provides a framework by which to recognize revenue in the financial statements, the Company believes that adherence to this SAB will
6
not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company will adopt this requirement during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued a new release (EITF00-10) at the end of July 2000 regarding the classification of freight and handling costs billed to customers. EITF00-10 requires freight and handling costs billed separately on an invoice to be included as part of Sales on the Statement of Income. In addition, the preferred classification of freight and handling costs expensed on the Statement of Income is to include them in Cost of Sales. The Company will adopt this requirement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. There will be no impact on net income as a result of the adoption of EITF00-10.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 provides guidance for issues arising in applying APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FIN 44 applies specifically to new awards, exchanges of awards in a business combination, modification to outstanding awards and changes in grantee status that occur on or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to repricings and the definition of an employee which apply to awards issued after December 15, 1998. The requirements of FIN 44 are consistent with the Company's existing accounting policies.

NOTE 5BANK LINE OF CREDIT:
The Company has a $7,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. The line matures October 1, 2002 and is secured by the Company's machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate minus .25%. The applicable bank's prime rate at March 31, 2001 was 8.25% per annum. The loan agreement allows the Company to convert the outstanding principal balance in amounts no less than $250,000 to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to 90 days. At March 31, 2001, total borrowings under the Company's line of credit was $1,792,800 of which $1,650,000 was borrowed under the LIBOR option bearing a LIBOR interest rate of 6.05625% per annum and maturing April 16, 2001. Proceeds from the loan were used for working capital purposes. At March 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $5,207,200 available for future borrowing under the revolving line of credit. On September 1, 2000 the bank reduced the Company's LIBOR borrowing rate from LIBOR plus 2% to LIBOR plus 1.5% and then on October 1, 2000 reduced the interest rates applicable to the line of credit to the Bank's prime rate minus .25% or LIBOR interest rate plus 1%.

$72,000 plus interest at the bank's prime rate minus .25% (8.25% per annum at March 31, 2001). In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to one year. In connection with the restructured Credit Agreement, the Company also negotiated with the bank to reduce its interest borrowing rates on all of its outstanding term debt from the bank's prime or LIBOR plus 2% rates to the bank's prime minus .25% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. At March 31, 2001, the total outstanding principal balance was under the LIBOR option at 6.30625% per annum maturing April 16, 2001. The note is secured by the Company's machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories and matures October 15, 2007. This restructuring of the Company's debt will result in annual cash flow savings of approximately $1.1 million (principal and interest) for the period October 2000 through September 2001.
At March 31, 2001 the Company had available a term-loan commitment in the amount of $1,200,000 for future machinery and equipment purchases. Advances under the line will be subject to monthly interest only payments at the bank's prime or LIBOR interest rate options until October 1, 2001 at which time amounts borrowed will convert to a sixty-month fully amortizable loan.
Effective July 15, 1998, the Company initiated an interest rate swap agreement with the bank. The agreement allows the Company to fix a portion of its outstanding term and line of credit debt ($5 million as of March 31, 2001) from a variable floating LIBOR rate to a fixed LIBOR rate in efforts to protect against future increases in the bank's LIBOR rate. The agreement matures July 15, 2003.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
To the extent that this 10-Q Quarterly Report discusses matters which are not historical, including statements regarding future financial results, information or expectation about products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, among others, fluctuations in costs of raw materials and other expenses, costs associated with plant closures, downturns in the markets served by the Company, the costs associated with new product introductions, as well as other factors described under this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", and Footnote 1 to Financial Statements.
Results of OperationsThree Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased 14% to $9,716,000 compared to $11,274,700 for the same period last year. The Company did post a 6% improvement in sales volumes in comparison to the last quarter, but still continues to be impacted by the ongoing downturn affecting the country's manufacturing sector. In addition to the economic slowdown, the Company's sales volumes have been impacted by increased competition within the Company's tank, bin lid and custom product lines as well as unsuccessful refuse container bids. As the Company moves into the last quarter of Fiscal 2001, management is optimistic that recent improvements in consumer confidence will have a positive effect on future sales volumes but does not anticipate regaining sales volumes lost in prior quarters.
Cost of goods sold decreased 1.6% to 74.6% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to 76.2% for the same period last year. In spite of rising raw material costs and a $280,000 increase in natural gas costs during the quarter, management attributes the decrease to instituted sales price increases, improved manufacturing efficiencies which have reduced scrap output and instituted wage reductions. Management plans to continue to monitor these efforts to optimize gross margins during ensuing periods. In particular, management is closely monitoring future natural gas costs. Although, natural gas costs have declined from their highs in the third quarter, management anticipates overall utility costs, as well as rising insurance costs, to continue to hamper maintaining optimal gross margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,896,900, or 19.5% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1,953,300, or 17.3% of net sales, for the same period last year. Although overall SG&A costs are below prior year levels, the comparative percentage increase is due to the lower sales volumes as well as inflationary costs related to labor related insurance and fringe costs. Current economic conditions indicate that these labor related costs will continue to rise in Fiscal 2002. Management will strive to mitigate the negative impact of these potential increased costs to preserve positive operating results.
Total interest expense decreased $85,900 to $178,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $264,000 for the same period last year. Although operating results have been lackluster, the Company continues to generate sufficient cash flows which has decreased the Company's total debt structure by approximately $1.3 million in comparison to amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2000. This factor, coupled with recent negotiated interest rate reductions related to the Company's bank debt and 2% drop in the Federal Discount Rate since the beginning of 2001, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.
Net income decreased $69,400 to $259,400, or $.02 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to net income of $328,800, or $.03 per common share, for the same period
13
last year. Even though sales volumes were below comparative prior year levels, earnings were strong reflecting an improvement over the preceding quarter's results. Management attributes this improvement to improved operating efficiencies and management driven cost reductions. In spite of recent improvements in consumer confidence, management believes the manufacturing sector will continue to face ongoing challenges in its efforts to increase sales volumes, optimize operating results and absorb inflationary raw material, utility and labor related costs. As such, management remains focused to build on its strengths and minimize these adverse conditions as much as possible.
Results of OperationsNine Months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2001 decreased 13.5% to $29,057,300 compared to $33,608,200 for the same period last year. The decrease is two-fold. First, the prior year results included an additional week of operations due to natural cut-offs which accounted for approximately $750,000 in sales reductions in comparison to the current period. The remaining $3.8 million in sales reduction is linked primarily to the lackluster economy which has affected all of the Company's product lines. In addition, heightened competition in reaction to the stagnant marketplace has further diminished sales volumes within the Company's tank, bin lid and custom product lines. The Company has also lost market share due to unsuccessful refuse container bids accounting for approximately $1 million in sales reductions during the comparative periods.
Cost of goods sold increased 3.9% to 76.6% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2001, compared to 72.7% for the same period last year. The increase is related both to the 13.5% decline in sales volumes during the current period as well as escalating raw material production costs, natural gas and labor related insurance and fringe costs. Management has been particularly concerned with volatile natural gas costs which have already resulted in increased natural gas costs of $430,000 between the comparative periods. During the third quarter, management effectively mitigated the effects of these rising costs with ongoing sales price increases, improved manufacturing efficiencies which have reduced scrap output and instituted wage reductions. It is management's opinion that utility costs will continue to plague our industry and also cause future rises in raw material costs. These costs coupled with escalating wage related insurance costs will hamper maintaining optimal gross margins during the ensuing months. As such, management plans to closely monitor and to actively respond to fluctuations in these costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,958,600 or 20.5% of net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 2001, compared with $6,128,300, or 18.2% or net sales for the same period last year. Again, the comparative percentage increase is attributed to the lower sales volumes. However, overall SG&A costs are down approximately $169,700 as a result of lower commission and advertising costs. Management does anticipate increased costs in connection with labor related insurance in Fiscal 2002 and will strive to mitigate any negative impact to our operating results.
Total interest expense decreased $126,700 to $585,400 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $712,100 for the same period last year. Although, operating results have been lackluster, the Company continues to generate sufficient cash flows which has decreased the Company's total debt structure by approximately $1.3 million in comparison to amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2000. This factor, coupled with recent negotiated interest rate reductions related to the Company's Bank Debt and the 2% drop in the Federal Discount Rate since the beginning of 2001, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.
Income taxes were $118,800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $1,038,800 for the same period last year. The decrease is consistent with current operating results resulting in the diminished utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforward.
Net income decreased $1,280,200 to $149,800, or $.01 per common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2001 compared to net income of $1,430,000 or $.10 per common share, for the same
14
period last year. The decrease is primarily due to the decline in sales volumes as outlined above, coupled with increased raw material, natural gas and labor related costs. In the third quarter the Company reported improvements in sales volumes which coupled with improved operating efficiencies and management driven cost reductions helped mitigate these escalating operating costs. In spite of recent improvements in consumer confidence, management believes the manufacturing sector will continue to face ongoing challenges in its efforts to increase sales volumes optimize operating results and absorb inflationary raw material, utility and labor related costs. As such, management remains focused to build on its strengths and minimize these adverse conditions as much as possible.
Earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was $2,858,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001, although EBITDA is not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, it is a relevant internal measurement of the Company's operations and cash flows, as such, in spite of the numerous challenges faced this year, the Company continues to generate sufficient cash flows from operations enabling the Company to easily meet its working capital needs, to service and reduce its debt and continue to common stock buyback program.
Financial Condition
Working capital increased $683,600 to $10,141,400 at March 31, 2001 compared to $9,457,800 at June 30, 2000. The increase is related to the reduction in the current portion of long-term debt due to the restructuring or the Company's debt with the bank net of decreases primarily in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities consistent with current operations. Cash flows from operations remain fairly strong but decreased by $1,017,800 to $2,103,100 for the nine months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $3,120,900 for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily related to the $1,280,200 reduction in net income and the $762,800 change in deferred taxes due to the non-utilization of the Company's NOL's net of normal fluctuations in accounts receivables, inventories and accounts payable consistent with current year operations. Although operating results are down, the overall cash flows generated from operations remain sufficient to sustain normal cash flow requirements.
The Company expended $848,200 for property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") during the nine months ended March 31, 2001. This reflects a $353,600 reduction in comparison to prior year's expenditures, but is in sync with current year's PP&E budget. The primary emphasis in Fiscal 2001 has been on new tooling and tooling modifications as well as the additional CNC router for the Gardena Facility. The Company currently anticipates total capital expenditures to be $1.1-$1.2 million in Fiscal 2001.
Net borrowings under the line of credit decreased $522,300 to $1,792,800 between June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2001. The decrease is attributed to excess cash flows generated from operations and the cash flow savings related to the Company's restructured Credit Agreement with the bank. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $5,207,200 available for future borrowing under the line of credit.
On September 1, 2000, the bank reduced its LIBOR interest rate option on all of the Company's outstanding debt from LIBOR plus 2% to LIBOR plus 1.5%. Then, effective October 1, 2000, the Company renegotiated its interest rate options in unison with the revolving line of credit renewal. As such, the maturity date for the line of credit was extended to October 1, 2002 and the Company's interest rates now reflect reductions from their prior levels to the bank's prime rate minus .25%, LIBOR plus 1% for borrowings under the line of credit and LIBOR plus 1.25% for all other term debt. In addition, the Company consolidated all of its outstanding term debt, except the real estate loan, with the bank into a new $6,050,000 seven-year term loan. The note will be due in monthly principal installments of approximately $72,000 plus interest at the bank's prime or LIBOR interest rate
15
options. The restructuring of the Company's bank debt will result in cash flow savings of approximately $1.1 million during the period October 2000 to September 2001.
During Fiscal 2001 the Company reinstated its common stock buyback program. Through March 31, 2001, the Company has acquired 124,600 shares of common stock at a total cost of $111,400. To date, 123,500 of these shares acquired have been retired. The Company plans to continue to actively acquire its common shares as long as the market value per share continues to be under recognized by the stock market. As of March 31, 2001 the Company had approximately 12,786,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
Cash flows from operations in conjunction with the Company's revolving line of credit and machinery and equipment loan commitment are expected to meet the Company's needs for working capital, capital expenditures common stock repurchases and repayment of long term debt for the foreseeable future.
In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended in June, 1999 by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesDeferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," and in June, 2000, by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," (collectively SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Under SFAS No. 133 an entity may designate a derivative as a hedge of exposure to either changes in: (a) fair value of recognized asset or liability or firm commitment, (b) cash flows of a recognized or forecasted transaction, or (c) foreign currencies of a net investment in foreign operations, firm commitments, available-for-sale securities or a forecasted transaction. Depending upon the effectiveness of the hedge and/or the transaction being hedged, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument is either recognized in earnings in the current year, deferred to future periods, or recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of all derivative instruments not recognized as hedge accounting are recognized in current year earnings. SFAS No. 133 is required for all Fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. On July 1, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company's interest rate swap was designated as a hedge. On the initial adoption date of SFAS No. 133, the Company recorded the fair value of its derivative on the balance sheet as an asset valued at $109,400 with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income. The related unrealized loss of $260,200 during the nine months ended March 31, 2001 has been recognized in the comprehensive income component of stockholders' equity.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" in 1998. This statement requires that all items that meet the definition of components of comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements for the period in which they are recognized. Components of comprehensive income include revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principals generally accepted in the United States are included in comprehensive income, but excluded from net income. The Company's reconciliation of net income, as reported, to comprehensive income, as defined, is included in the combined statements of income and comprehensive income.
On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition, to provide guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. While SAB No. 101 provides a framework by which to recognize revenue in the financial statements, the Company believes that adherence to this SAB will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company will adopt this requirement during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued a new release (EITF00-10) at the end of July 2000 regarding the classification of freight and handling costs
16
billed to customers. EITF00-10 requires freight and handling costs billed separately on an invoice to be included as part of Sales on the Statement of Income. In addition, the preferred classification of freight and handling costs expensed on the Statement of Income is to include them in Cost of Sales. The Company will adopt this requirement during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. There will be no impact on net income as a result of the adoption of EITF00-10.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation" (FIN 44"). FIN 44 provides guidance for issues arising in applying APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." FIN 44 applies specifically to new awards, exchanges of awards in a business combination, modification to outstanding awards and changes in grantee status that occur on or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to repricings and the definition of an employee which apply to awards issued after December 15, 1998. The requirements of FIN 44 are consistent with the Company's existing accounting policies.
