NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The information included in the Condensed Financial Statements is unaudited but
includes all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods
presented. These Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements that are included in the Company's Annual Report
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which requires that companies recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value.
Under SFAS 133, accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative depends on
its intended use and designation. SFAS 133, as amended, is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently assessing the
effect of this new standard.
3. INVENTORIES

4. CONSTRUCTION IN PROCESS
The construction in process balance of $658,087 at September 30, 1999 represents
costs incurred on the remaining manufacturing equipment not yet in service at
the Company's new manufacturing facility. Costs of $5,825,695, representing the
building and equipment placed in service prior to September 30, 1999 related to
the Company's new manufacturing facility, were transferred from construction in
process to fixed assets during the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
Construction began in September 1998 and was largely completed during the third
quarter of 1999. The project is being financed using proceeds from the issuance
of industrial development revenue bonds (the "Bonds"). The Company is
capitalizing the interest expense related to the Bonds net of the interest
earned on the investments purchased with the excess proceeds. The portion of the
borrowings on the bonds not yet expended for construction was $1,048,954 (which
includes accrued interest) as of September 30, 1999 and is classified as
restricted cash and investments (non-current) in the accompanying balance sheet.
The proceeds are held by a trustee until qualified expenditures are made and
reimbursed to the Company.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of the following at September 30, 1999 and December 31,

============ =============
Due largely to the operating loss the Company incurred for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the Company violated certain financial
covenants under both its amended and restated credit facility with its bank and
its reimbursement agreement relating to the letter of credit with its bank that
supports payment of the principal and interest under the Bonds. The Company had
planned to apply a portion of the proceeds from the sale of certain assets of
the Explosive Metalworking Group to retire the majority of the Company's
borrowings under its credit facility and to redeem in full the outstanding
Bonds. However, as more fully discussed in note 8 below, AMETEK, Inc. ("AMETEK")
has terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement between the two companies.
As a result of such termination, the operating losses incurred by the Company
during 1999 and the expected continued operating losses through the first
quarter of 2000, the Company anticipates continued violations of certain
financial covenants and also anticipates difficulty in meeting scheduled
principal payments under its credit facility during the remainder of 1999 and
the year 2000. Accordingly, the Company is working with its bank to restructure
both its credit facility and the financial covenant conditions under the
reimbursement agreement relating to the
8
bond. As an initial step in this restructuring, the Company entered into a
Deferral and Wavier Agreement with its bank that (i) defers certain principal
payments that were due on September 30, 1999 ($259,091 under the Company's
acquisition line and $230,000 under its accommodation line) and (ii) waives
covenant defaults until December 30, 1999. As the waiver extends only through
December 30, 1999 and certain covenant violations are likely to continue beyond
this date, the subject debt is classified as a current liability. Under the
Deferral and Waiver Agreement, the interest rate on the acquisition line and
working capital line was increased by 100 basis points and the interest rate on
the accommodation line was increased by 200 basis points.
In addition to its ongoing efforts to enhance operating efficiencies, reduce
costs and optimize cash flows, the Company is evaluating various business
strategies and financing alternatives in connection with its efforts to
restructure its bank financing and/or re-capitalize the Company's balance sheet.
Management believes that the Company will ultimately be successful in these
efforts and will be able to negotiate, as required, necessary extensions to the
Deferral and Waiver Agreement. However there is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in any of these efforts. If the Company is unsuccessful in
restructuring the aforementioned credit facility or obtaining new debt and/or
equity financing, the Company may be required to liquidate certain assets
outside of the normal course of business which could result in a loss on the
disposition of those assets.
Also during the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company terminated its
swap agreements with its bank resulting in a deferred gain of $150,900 that is
being amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements.
6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company is organized in the following two segments: the Explosive
Metalworking Group and the Aerospace Group. The Explosive Metalworking Group
uses explosives to perform metal cladding and shock synthesis.
The most significant product of this group is clad metal which is used in the
fabrication of pressure vessels, heat exchangers and transition joints used in
the hydrocarbon processing, chemical processing, power generation,
petrochemical, pulp and paper, mining, shipbuilding and heat, ventilation and
air conditioning industries. The Aerospace Group machines, forms and welds parts
for the commercial aircraft, aerospace and defense industries.
The accounting policies of both segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies.
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
different products and services and are separately managed. Each segment is
marketed to different customer types and requires different manufacturing
processes and technologies. Segment information is presented for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 as follows:

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, one customer
accounted for 25% and 17% of net sales, respectively. During the three months
ended September 30, 1998, two customers accounted for approximately 25% of net
sales. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.

7. PLANT CLOSING/IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
On April 22, 1999, the Company announced that it would be closing its
Louisville, Colorado-based explosion bonded clad metal plate manufacturing
facility in the third quarter of 1999 and consolidating all of its Explosive
Metalworking Group operations into the new Pennsylvania-based clad plate
manufacturing facility. The Company recorded a total of $636,618 in
non-recurring charges during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to cover
costs associated with this plant closing. Plant closing costs include severance
pay to terminated employees, outplacement service fees and certain expenses
incurred in connection with final plant shutdown, clean-up and site reclamation
work subsequent to the discontinuation of manufacturing activities at this
facility.
In connection with the plant closing discussed above, the Company identified
certain long-lived assets associated with its Colorado manufacturing operations
that will be abandoned and have negligible fair market values. Accordingly, the
Company recorded asset impairment write-downs of $179,004 during the second and
third quarters of 1999. The impaired assets, which after the write-down have no
carrying value are in the process of being disposed of. These assets should
largely be disposed of by the end of the fourth quarter of 1999.
The Company also identified certain inventory that was determined to have little
value as a result of the plant closing. This inventory, which totaled
approximately $108,000, was consequently written off in the second quarter of
1999. This charge is included in cost of products sold.
8. DIVESTITURE OF EXPLOSIVE METALWORKING BUSINESS SEGMENT
On June 23, 1999, the Company announced that it had entered into an asset
purchase agreement to sell certain assets relating to its Explosive Metalworking
Group to AMETEK for an approximate purchase price of $17 million. The closing of
the transaction was expected to occur during the latter part of 1999, pending
the satisfaction of certain conditions. However, in a letter dated October 20,
1999, AMETEK notified the Company that it was terminating the Asset Purchase
Agreement. The Company does not believe that AMETEK has a legal basis for
terminating the agreement and is currently evaluating its course of action
relating to the termination.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Financial Statements included elsewhere within this quarterly report.
Fluctuations in annual and quarterly operating results may occur as a result of
certain factors such as the size and timing of customer orders and competition.

1998.
GENERAL
Dynamic Materials Corporation ("DMC" or the "Company") is a worldwide leader in
the high energy metal working business. The high energy metal working business
includes the use of explosives to perform both metallurgical bonding, or metal
"cladding," and metal forming. The Company performs metal cladding using its
proprietary Dynaclad(TM) and Detaclad(R) technologies. The Explosive
Metalworking Group comprised a substantial portion of the Company's business
until 1998 when the Company formed its Aerospace Group as a result of the
acquisition of AMK Welding, Inc. ("AMK"), Spin Forge, LLC ("Spin Forge") and
Precision Machined Products, Inc. ("PMP"). The revenues from the Aerospace Group
accounted for 22% of the Company's revenues and 51% of the Company's operating
income for the year ended December 31, 1998. The proportion of revenues
accounted for by the Aerospace Group for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was 50% and 41%, respectively, compared to 27% and 19% for
the comparable periods of 1998.
On June 23, 1999, the Company announced that it had entered into an asset
purchase agreement to sell certain assets relating to its Explosive Metalworking
Group to AMETEK for an approximate purchase price of $17 million. The closing of
the transaction was expected to occur during the latter part of 1999, pending
the satisfaction of certain conditions. However, in a letter dated October 20,
1999, AMETEK notified the Company that it was terminating the Asset Purchase
Agreement. The Company does not believe that AMETEK has a legal basis for
terminating the agreement and is currently evaluating its course of action
relating to such termination.
EXPLOSIVE METALWORKING GROUP. Clad metal products are used in
manufacturing processes or environments which involve highly corrosive
chemicals, high temperatures and/or high pressure conditions. For example, the
Company fabricates clad metal tube sheets for heat exchangers. Heat exchangers
are used in a variety of high temperature, high pressure, highly corrosive
chemical processes, such as processing crude oil in the petrochemical industry
and processing chemicals used in
13
the manufacture of synthetic fibers. In addition, the Company has produced
titanium clad plates used in the fabrication of metal autoclaves to replace
autoclaves made of brick and lead for two customers in the mining industry. The
Company believes that its clad metal products are an economical,
high-performance alternative to the use of solid corrosion-resistant alloys. In
addition to clad metal products, the explosive metalworking business includes
shock synthesis of synthetic diamonds and, through the first half of 1999,
included explosive forming of metal parts. Concurrent with the closing of its
Colorado manufacturing facility in July, the Company discontinued its explosive
forming manufacturing activities.
AEROSPACE GROUP. Formed metal products are made from sheet metal and
forgings that are subsequently formed into precise, three-dimensional shapes
that are held to tight tolerances. Metal forming is accomplished through
traditional forming technologies, including spinning, machining, rolling and
hydraulic expansion. DMC also performs welding services utilizing a variety of
manual and automatic welding techniques that include electron beam and gas
tungsten arc welding processes. The Company's forming and welding operations are
often performed to support the manufacture of completed assemblies and
sub-assemblies required by its customers. Assembly and fabrication services are
performed utilizing the Company's close-tolerance machining, forming, welding,
inspection and other special service capabilities. The Company's forming,
machining, welding and assembly operations serve a variety of product
applications in the commercial aircraft, aerospace, defense and power generation
industries.
The Company formed its Aerospace Group through three separate acquisitions
during 1998. In January 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of AMK, a
supplier of commercial aircraft and aerospace-related automatic and manual gas
tungsten and arc welding services. The Company completed its acquisition of Spin
Forge, one of the country's leading manufacturers of tactical missile motor
cases and titanium pressure vessels for commercial aerospace and defense
industries, in March 1998. In December 1998, the Company completed its
acquisition of PMP, a contract machining shop specializing in high precision,
high quality, complex machined parts used in the aerospace, satellite, medical
equipment and high technology industries.
RISKS. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to
experience, quarterly fluctuations in operating results caused by various
factors, including the timing and size of orders from major customers, customer
inventory levels, shifts in product mix, the occurrence of acquisition-related
costs and general economic conditions. In addition, the Company typically does
not obtain long-term volume purchase contracts from its customers. Quarterly
sales and operating results therefore depend on the volume and timing of backlog
as well as bookings received during the quarter. A significant portion of the
Company's operating expenses are fixed, and planned expenditures are based
primarily on sales forecasts and product development programs. If sales do not
meet the Company's expectations in any given period, as has been the case for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the adverse impact on operating
results may be magnified by the Company's inability to adjust operating expenses
sufficiently or quickly enough to compensate for such a shortfall. In addition,
the Company uses numerous suppliers of alloys, steels and other materials for
its operations. The Company typically bears a short-term risk of alloy, steel
and other component price increases, which could adversely affect the Company's
gross profit margins. Although the Company will work with customers and
suppliers to minimize the impact of any component shortages, component shortages
have had, and are expected from time to time to have, short-term adverse effects
on the Company's
14
business. Results of operations in any period should not be considered
indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. Fluctuations in
operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price of the Company's
Common Stock.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of many computer programs being written such
that they will malfunction when reading a year of "00." This problem could cause
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of business processes. For
the past year and a half, the Company has pursued a two-prong approach to the
Year 2000 issue.
The first prong has and continues to involve an internal evaluation of the
Company's computer systems. The Company has completed a risk assessment to
identify Year 2000 priorities by analyzing and determining whether the Year 2000
related risks were low, medium or high and whether the business impact would be
marginal, manageable, critical or fatal for each system and device that may be
affected by the Year 2000 issue. Based on this risk assessment, the Company
determined that its first priority would be evaluating its MRP software. The
Company found this software to be Year 2000 compliant as certified by the vendor
and through internal testing. The Company continued this procedure for each of
the areas identified during its risk assessment as follows. The Company's
hardware was tested by advancing dates and checking for power-off date changes
and power-on date changes as well as software and hardware operation at the
advanced dates. Based upon those tests the Company believes its hardware to be
Year 2000 compliant. The Company's network operating system became Year 2000
compliant with the installation of a patch from the vendor in January 1999. The
Company's desktop applications became Year 2000 compliant during the third
quarter of 1999 with the installation of patches received from various vendors.
Finally, the Company has determined through testing that its various computer
controlled manufacturing equipment is either Year 2000 compliant or will not
have any adverse effects on manufacturing processes in the Year 2000.
The second prong of the Company's approach, which the Company began to emphasize
in the second and third quarter of 1998 and will complete before the end of the
year, is an integrated process of working with suppliers and customers to ensure
that the flow of goods, services or payments will not be interrupted because of
Year 2000 issues. To achieve this, the Company has been working to implement
mechanical or manual workarounds even if Year 2000 problems arise. In many
cases, such workarounds are already in place. Additionally, the Company is
requesting that its suppliers and customers include language in their material
subcontractor and consulting agreements that request these third parties to be
"internally" Year 2000 capable.
However, there can be no assurance that the failure of the Company's suppliers
and customers to be Year 2000 compliant would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. In
addition, the Company may be adversely affected by disruptions in the operations
of other companies with which the Company does business, from general widespread
problems or an economic crisis resulting from non-compliant Year 2000 systems.
The Company has not incurred any material historical Year 2000 costs to date.
Management expects future incremental Year 2000 project costs to be minimal
since all Year 2000 compliance work is expected to be performed by Company
employees. Management expects, but makes no assurance that,
15
future Year 2000 project costs will not have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition and results of operations.
While management does not believe there to be significant Year 2000 risks for
the Company, the Company's contingency plan is to rely on manual workarounds
that have been developed as part of the Company's Year 2000 compliance program.
QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER AND NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the percentage
relationship to net sales of certain income statement data:

NET SALES. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 decreased 35.2% to
$6,267,617 from $9,675,750 in the third quarter of 1998. The Company's Aerospace
Group, which was formed in 1998 as a result of the acquisitions of AMK, Spin
Forge and PMP, contributed $3,157,553 (50.4% of total sales) to third quarter
1999 sales versus sales of $2,616,555 (27.0% of total sales) in the third
quarter of 1998. Sales by the Explosive Metalworking Group, which includes
explosion bonding of clad metal, explosively formed metal products and shock
synthesis of synthetic diamonds, decreased 55.9% from $7,059,195 in the third
quarter of 1998 to $3,110,064 in the third quarter of 1999. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, net sales decreased 22.4% to $23,711,802 from
$30,543,872 for the comparable period of 1998. Aerospace Group sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $9,706,396 (40.9% of total sales),
an increase of 68% from sales of $5,778,161 (18.9% of total sales) reported for
the comparable period of 1998. These increases were largely due to the December
1, 1998 acquisition of PMP whose results are included in the Aerospace Group's
sales and operating income calculation for 1999 but not 1998. Sales by the
Explosive Metalworking Group for the comparable nine-month period decreased by
43.4% from $24,765,711 in 1998 to $14,005,406 in 1999. The decreases in
Explosive Metalworking Group sales for both the three-month and nine-month
16
periods reflect what management believes is a significant slowdown in global
market demand for explosion bonded clad metal plate that is expected to continue
for the remainder of 1999 and at least the first half of the year 2000.
GROSS PROFIT. As a result of the sharp decline in the Company's net sales, gross
profit for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 decreased by 75.9% to $509,737
from $2,119,068 in the third quarter of 1998. The gross profit margin for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 was 8.1%, representing a 63% decline from the
gross profit margin of 21.9% for the third quarter of 1998. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, gross profit decreased 50.8% to $3,185,210 from
$6,472,456 in the comparable period of 1998. The gross profit margin for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 13.4%, representing a 36.8% decline
from the gross profit margin of 21.2% for the first nine months of 1998. The
gross profit margin for the Explosive Metalworking Group decreased from 18.5% in
the third quarter of 1998 to a negative gross margin of 3.9% in the third
quarter of 1999. For the comparable nine-month periods, Explosive Metalworking
gross margins decreased from 19.5% in 1998 to 5.2% in 1999. The significant
decrease in gross profit margins for the Explosive Metalworking Group are due to
unfavorable fixed manufacturing overhead cost variances associated with the
sharp declines in production and sales of clad plate and proportionately lower
sales of higher margin explosively formed products. The gross profit margin for
the Aerospace Group was 20.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 31.0% in the third quarter of 1998. For the comparable nine-month
periods, Aerospace Group gross margins decreased from 28.5% in 1998 to 25.3% in
1999. The decline in gross margin rates for the Aerospace Group reflects a
decrease in year-to-year sales at the Spin Forge operating unit and unfavorable
product mix changes at each of the three Aerospace Group operating units.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 decreased 28.4% to $766,318 from $1,070,726 in the
third quarter of 1998. This decrease of $304,408 is largely attributable to
non-recurring charges of $262,524 in the third quarter of 1998 relating to the
departure of the Compamy's former president and chief executive officer. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, general and administrative expenses
increased 10.3% to $2,648,425 from $2,401,618 in the comparable period of 1998.
The increase of $246,807 for the nine-month period includes a $494,097 increase
in direct Aerospace Group general and administrative expenses. The increases in
direct general and administrative expenses of the Aerospace Group relate to the
timing of the 1998 acquisitions of AMK, Spin Forge and PMP which were completed
on January 5, March 18 and December 1, 1998, respectively. As a percentage of
net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from 11.1% in the third
quarter of 1998 to 12.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and from 7.9%
to 11.2% for the comparable nine-month periods. These increased percentages are
largely attributable to the significant decrease in sales by the Explosive
Metalworking Group.
SELLING EXPENSE. Selling expenses decreased by 7.7% to $357,579 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 from $387,550 in the third quarter of 1998. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, selling expenses decreased 17.8% to
$1,140,764 from $1,387,822 in the comparable period of 1998. These decreases
reflect lower expense levels in a number of categories, including compensation
and benefits, advertising and promotion, reserves for bad debts and travel and
entertainment expenses. Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales increased
from 4.0% in the third quarter of 1998 to 5.7% for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 and from 4.5% for the nine months ended September 30,
17
1998 to 4.8% for the comparable period of 1999. These increased percentages are
largely attributable to the significant decrease in sales by the Explosive
Metalworking Group.
START-UP COSTS. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company began to separately report the start-up costs associated with the
construction of a new facility in Pennsylvania for the manufacture of clad metal
plates. Start-up costs for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999
totaled $125,538 and $334,496, respectively, as compared to $86,036 and $114,437
for the respective comparable periods of 1998. Start-up costs include salaries,
benefits and travel expenses for Company employees assigned to this project,
field office expenses and other operating expenses directly associated with this
project. The new facility commenced operations in August 1999 at which time
all operating costs associated with this new facility began to be recorded as
manufacturing overhead that is included in the computation of cost of products
sold.
PLANT CLOSING COSTS. On April 23, 1999, the Company announced that it would be
closing its Louisville, Colorado-based explosion bonded clad metal plate
manufacturing facility in the third quarter of 1999 and consolidating all of its
Explosive Metalworking Group operations into the new Pennsylvania-based clad
metal plate manufacturing facility. For the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Company recorded non-recurring charges of $87,319 and
$636,618, respectively, related to costs associated with this plant closing.
Plant closing costs include severance pay to terminated employees, outplacement
service fees and certain expenses to be incurred in connection with final plant
shutdown, clean-up and site reclamation work subsequent to the discontinuation
of manufacturing activities at this facility in July.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. In connection with the plant closing discussed
above, the Company identified certain long-lived assets associated with its
Colorado manufacturing operations that will be abandoned and have negligible
fair market values. Accordingly, the Company recorded asset impairment
write-down charges in the aggregate amount of $188,079 during the second quarter
of 1999 that are included in the results for the nine months ended September 30,
1999.
The Company also identified certain inventory that was determined to have little
value as a result of the plant closing. This inventory, which totaled
approximately $108,000, was consequently written off in the second quarter of
1999. This charge is included in cost of products sold for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.
COSTS RELATED TO SALE OF EXPLOSIVE METALWORKING GROUP. On June 23, 1999, the
Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell certain assets
relating to its Explosive Metalworking Group to AMETEK for approximately $17
million. However, on October 20, 1999, AMETEK notified the Company that it was
terminating the Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Company's
efforts to sell its Explosive Metalworking Group, the Company recorded expenses
of $79,462 and $278,470 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999.
These expenses relate principally to investment banking, legal and other third
party fees associated with the terminated sales transaction. Certain of these
expenses will continue to be incurred by the Company during the fourth quarter
of 1999.
INCOME (LOSS ) FROM OPERATIONS. For the third quarter ended September 30, 1999,
the Company reported a $897,405 loss from operations compared to income from
operations of $574,756 for the third quarter of 1998. This decrease is a result
of the 35.2% decrease in net sales discussed above and
18
non-recurring charges in the aggregate amount of $283,245 associated with plant
closing costs, new facility start-up costs, asset impairment write-downs and
expenses incurred in connection with efforts to sell the Explosive Metalworking
Group. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reported an
operating loss of $2,032,567 compared to income from operations of $2,568,579 in
the comparable period of 1998. This decrease is a result of the 22.4% decrease
in sales for the nine month period and non-recurring charges in the aggregate
amount of $1,428,588 associated with plant closing costs, new facility start-up
costs, asset impairment write-downs and expenses incurred in connection with
efforts to sell the Explosive Metalworking Group. For the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's Aerospace Group reported income
from operations of $184,188 and $867,851, respectively, as compared to $407,617
and $885,811 for the respective comparable periods of 1998. For the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Explosive Metalworking Group reported
a loss from operations of $1,081,693 and $2,900,518, respectively, as compared
to income from operations of $167,139 and $1,682,769 for the respective
comparable periods of 1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased to $271,057 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 from $75,166 in the third quarter of 1998. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, interest expense increased to $697,807 from
$198,811 in the comparable period of 1998. These increases are principally due
to borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit with the Company's
bank that were required to finance the AMK, Spin Forge and PMP acquisitions and
to borrowings under the Company's Bonds that were used to finance the new clad
metal plate manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania.
INCOME TAX BENEFIT (EXPENSE). Due to losses before income taxes and the ability
to carry-back losses to prior years in which the Company generated taxable
income, the Company recorded tax benefits of $399,000 and $1,005,000 for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999. For the comparable periods of
1998, the Company recorded income tax expense of $199,000 and $931,000,
respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
effective tax rate was 34.3% and 37.0%, respectively, as compared to 39.1% and
39.0% for the comparable 1998 periods. The lower effective rates for 1999
reflect an adjustment recorded in the third quarter of 1999 to refine the
estimated effective tax benefit rate associated with the carryback of the
Company's 1999 estimated tax loss to the 1998 and 1997 tax years.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company has secured the major portion of its operational
financing from operating activities and an asset-backed revolving credit
facility. In connection with the Detaclad acquisition, the Company entered into
a $7,500,000 asset-backed revolving credit facility ("Original Line") with its
bank in July of 1996. The Original Line was to expire on July 19, 1999, at which
time all or part of the outstanding balance could have been converted to a term
loan which would mature on July 19, 2003. The maximum amount available under the
line of credit was subject to borrowing base restrictions that were a function
of defined balances in accounts receivable, inventory, real property and
equipment.
On November 30, 1998 the Company and its bank entered into an amended and
restated credit facility and security agreement which was further amended on
December 31, 1998. The amended credit facility allows for maximum borrowings of
$14,000,000 under the following three separate lines of credit: an "acquisition
line" of $5,700,000, an "accommodation line" of $2,300,000 and a "working
19
capital line" of $6,000,000 (subject to borrowing base restrictions). Beginning
on September 30, 1999 and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter,
the maximum borrowings available under the acquisition line become permanently
reduced by $259,091, with ultimate maturity on December 31, 2004. Beginning on
September 30, 1999 and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, the
maximum borrowings available under the accommodation line become permanently
reduced by $230,000, with ultimate maturity on December 31, 2001. The working
capital line expires on November 30, 2000. At the Company's option, the
borrowings under the acquisition line and working capital line may be in the
form of loans bearing an interest rate of 1 to 2% above the Libor rate,
depending on certain financial ratios, or loans bearing an interest rate of 2%
above the Federal Funds rate. Loans under the accommodation line bear interest
at .25% above the bank's Prime rate. Under a Deferral and Waiver Agreement
between the Company and its bank that was signed on October 15, 1999, the
interest rate on the acquisition line and working capital line was increased by
100 basis points and the interest rate on the accommodation line was increased
by 200 basis points. The lines of credit are secured by the Company's accounts
receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment. Outstanding borrowings
at September 30, 1999 on the acquisition line, accommodation line and working
capital line totaled $5,700,000, $2,300,000 and $2,400,000, respectively.
In March 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's proposal
to build a new manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania at a cost of approximately
$6.8 million. The project is being financed with proceeds from $6,850,000 in
industrial development revenue bonds (the "Bonds") issued by Fayette County
Industrial Development Authority (IDA). The Company closed its loan agreement
with Fayette County IDA on September 17, 1998 and has established a bank letter
of credit in favor of the bond trustee for the principal amount of the bonds
plus 98 days of accrued interest. The letter of credit is secured by the
Company's accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and
bond proceeds not yet expended for construction of the facility and purchase of
related equipment (classified as "Restricted Cash and Investments" on the
Condensed Balance Sheets). Construction of the new facility began during the
third quarter of 1998, and the new facility should become fully operational
during the second half of 1999.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company used $748,794 in
cash to fund operating activities as compared to generating $2,016,721 during
the first nine months of 1998. The principal sources of cash flow from
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were depreciation and
amortization charges of $1,104,450, a decrease in inventories of $1,857,690 and
a decrease in accounts receivable of $688,257. These sources of operating cash
flow were more than offset by the net loss of $1,710,986, a $1,141,965 increase
in income tax receivable, and a $1,735,330 decrease in accounts payable, accrued
expenses and bank overdraft. Investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 used $918,948 of cash, including expenditures of $4,630,059
on the new Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and $332,909 for other capital
expenditures, and are stated net of $4,000,027 in reimbursement of bond proceeds
from the trustee. Financing activities provided $2,006,642 of net cash for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, including new line of credit borrowings of
$1,800,000.
Due largely to the operating loss the Company incurred for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the Company violated certain financial
covenants under both its amended and restated credit facility with its bank and
its reimbursement agreement relating to the letter of credit with its bank that
supports payment of the principal and interest under the
20
Bonds. The Company had planned to apply a portion of the proceeds from the sale
of certain assets of the Explosive Metalworking Group to retire the majority of
the Company's borrowings under its credit facility and to redeem in full the
outstanding Bonds. However, as more fully discussed in note 8 above, AMETEK,
Inc. has terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement between the two companies.
As a result of such termination, the operating losses incurred by the Company
during 1999 and the expected continued operating losses through the first
quarter of 2000, the Company anticipates continued violations of certain
financial covenants and also anticipates difficulty in meeting scheduled
principal payments under its credit facility during the remainder of 1999 and
the year 2000. Accordingly, the Company is working with its bank to restructure
both its credit facility and the financial covenant conditions under the
reimbursement agreement relating to the bonds. As an initial step in this
restructuring, the Company entered into a Deferral and Wavier Agreement with its
bank that (i) defers certain principal payments that were due on September 30,
1999 ($259,091 under the Company's acquisition line and $230,000 under its
accommodation line) and (ii) waives covenant defaults until December 30, 1999.
As the waiver extends only through December 30, 1999 and certain covenant
violations are likely to continue beyond this date, the subject debt is
classified as a current liability.
In addition to its ongoing efforts to enhance operating efficiencies, reduce
costs and optimize cash flows, the Company is evaluating various business
strategies and financing alternatives in connection with its efforts to
restructure its bank financing and/or re-capitalize the Company's balance sheet.
Management believes that the Company will ultimately be successful in these
efforts and will be able to negotiate, as required, necessary extensions to the
Deferral and Waiver Agreement. However, there is no assurance that the Company
will be successful in any of these efforts. If the Company is unsuccessful in
restructuring the aforementioned credit facility or obtaining new debt and/or
equity financing, the Company may be required to liquidate certain assets
outside of the normal course of business which could result in a loss on the
disposition of those assets.
SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market. On October
27, 1999, Nasdaq notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the
Nasdaq public float requirement which requires a minimum value of $5,000,000 for
shares not held directly or indirectly by any officer or director, and any other
person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of the total shares
outstanding. Nasdaq advised the Company that it would be provided ninety
calendar days in which to regain compliance with the public float requirement.
If the Company is unable to demonstrate compliance with the minimum $5,000,000
market value of public float requirement on or before the end of the ninety day
period ending January 25, 2000, for at least ten consecutive days, the Company's
securities may be delisted by Nasdaq at the opening of business on January 27,
2000.
The Company is currently evaluating all available options, including commencing
appeal procedures allowed by Nasdaq, which management believes could result in
the Company being allowed to remain on the Nasdaq National Market. Other viable
options include the Company moving onto the Nasdaq Small Cap Market or some
other public stock market system.
