NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the periods covered have been reflected in the
aforementioned statements. Certain information and footnotes necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in
accordance with the aforementioned instructions. It is suggested that the
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1993.
NOTE B -- INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision of $420,000$600,000 for the sixnine months ended November 30, 1993February 28,
1994 is based on the estimated effective tax rate of 39%40% for fiscal 1994
income. This rate differs from the applicable federal statutory rate of 34%
principally as a result of state income taxes and foreign operating losses for
which the related tax benefit will not be recognized until future foreign
earnings are realized. The income tax provision of $1,260,000$1,400,000 for the sixnine
months ended November 30, 1992February 28, 1993 was based on the estimated effective tax rate of
37%, as a result of state income taxes.
NOTE C -- DEBT AGREEMENTS
Prior to August 31, 1993, the Company entered into negotiations with
its bankContinental Bank to amend the terms of its floating rate term loan agreements.
The term loan due August 1994, which had a principal balance of $9,269,000 at
August 31, 1993, was revised to require quarterly payments of $750,000, with a
final balloon payment on August 14, 1994. The payment schedule for the term
loan due June 1996 remained unchanged, requiring quarterly principal payments
of $375,000.
The(7)
Richardson Electronics, Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
In addition to changes in the interest rates, on the loans were increased, and when adjusted for the effect of
existing swap agreements, result in effective rates of 8.78% for the loan due
August 1994 and 9.35% for the loan due June 1996. The interest rates may be
reduced by as much as 1% in the future if the Company meets certain performance
requirements.
Severalseveral changes were made to the
financial and operating covenants of both loan
agreements.covenants. The current maturities ratio test was eliminated, and the interest coverage ratio minimum was
reduced from 1.5:1 to 1.1:1. A1, a new leverage ratio has also beenwas added which restricts the Company's total funded debt to 62.5%
of debt plus net worth. Aand a new loan
liquidity ratio will requirerequired that the Company maintain its cash and investment
balances at a minimum of 75% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan
due August 1994. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONSAt February 28, 1994, the outstanding principal balance on
these term loans was $12,269,000.
In March, 1994, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with American
National Bank, which replaced the floating rate term loans with a $13,000,000
term loan due November, 1998. The term loan will require quarterly principal
payments of $464,300 beginning on April 30, 1994 and a balloon payment at
maturity. The loan initially will bear interest floating at the bank's prime
rate, or 1 1/2 % above the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), at the
Company's option. The interest rate will be adjusted based on the Company's
financial performance. Financial covenants under the agreement set benchmark
levels for tangible net worth, debt / tangible net worth ratio and annual debt
service coverage.
NOTE D -- POTENTIAL LITIGATION
The United States Government has advised the Company that the Government is
considering making a claim against the Company under the False Claims Act and
the Lanham Act for conduct in connection with a $3.1 million contract to supply
the Government with certain tubes which was completed in 1989. The False
Claims Act permits the Government to seek a civil penalty for each violation of
not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000, plus three times its damages. The
Company believes it has not violated these statutes and is in the early stages
of discussing the possibility of resolving the matter with the Government. If
such discussions are not satisfactorily concluded, the Company plans to
vigorously defend itself against any litigation the Government may initiate.
The status of the Penache litigation remains as described in Note I of the
Company's Annual Report.
