SEE NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 4 VSI LIQUIDATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: Reference is made to the annual report on Form 10-K filed September 28, 2000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited and include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of the Company's discontinued operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company's discontinued operations for a full fiscal year. 2. CONTINGENCIES: The Company is involved in various litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a material effect on the Company's operations, cash flows or financial position. 3. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share do not vary from basic earnings per share for any of the periods presented because there were no dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive effect of outstanding potential shares of common stock is computed using the treasury stock method. 4. SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY: On September 8, 1998, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") whereby essentially all assets of the Company would be sold to, and substantially all liabilities of the Company would be assumed by, HydroChem Industrial Services, Inc. ("HydroChem"). The purchase price for these assets and liabilities was approximately $29.8 million, adjusted for increases or decreases in net assets after June 30, 1998. $4.0 million of the proceeds were placed in escrow to secure and indemnify HydroChem for any breach of the Company's covenants and for any environmental liabilities. Escrow funds, to the extent not needed to indemnify HydroChem, will be released over the next three years. $1.0 million of the escrow funds will be released if and when the Company provides certain environmental assurances to HydroChem, currently expected to be during 2001. This transaction closed on January 5, 1999, and was effective as of January 1, 1999. The Company changed its name from Valley Systems, Inc. to VSI Liquidation Corp. after the closing of this transaction, and will not have any business 5 operations other than those associated with the winding up and dissolution of the Company, including distribution of any escrow funds released to the Company. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the possibility that HydroChem will successfully assert claims against funds held in the escrow account, the possibility that the costs of winding up the Company's affairs could exceed the Company's projections, the Company's potential liability pursuant to ongoing litigation, and general business and economic conditions. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: Three months and nine months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2000: As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1999 substantially all assets of the Company were sold to, and substantially all liabilities were assumed by, HydroChem. Operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 consisted only of transactions winding down the operations of the Company. The Company will not have any business operations in the future other than those associated with the winding up and dissolution of the Company, including distribution of any escrow funds released to the Company. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: On January 5, 1999, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its operating assets and the operating assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Systems of Ohio, Inc. ("VSO"), to HydroChem, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for approximately $30 million in cash, of which $26 million was payable immediately and $4 million was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and other rights under the Purchase Agreement, and the assumption of the Company's and VSO's bank debt and certain other liabilities. Of the $26 million received at closing, after payment or making reasonable provision for the payment of all known and anticipated liabilities and obligations of the Company, payment of approximately $5.5 million to repurchase all of the 55,000 shares of the Company's outstanding Series C Preferred Stock held by Rollins Holding Company, Inc., payment of approximately $380,000 to redeem outstanding employee stock options and payment of approximately $165,000 as a retention bonus to certain officers and employees, approximately $16.8 million of the sale proceeds remained and were available for distribution to stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution adopted by the Company. On January 29, 1999, an initial liquidating cash dividend of approximately $16.8 million ($2.13 per share) was paid to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 22, 1999. An additional liquidating cash dividend of $1.2 6 million ($.15 per share) was paid to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 31, 2000. On February 12, 2001, another liquidating cash dividend of $800,000 ($.10 per share) was paid to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 31, 2001. The Company now has no further assets to distribute and expects to have no additional assets in the future other than cash received from the escrow account referenced above and cash remaining after payment of all remaining expenses to wind up and dissolve the Company, if any. In January 2001, $1 million of the $3.3 million of funds in escrow at December 31, 2000 was released to the Company. The Company expects that, subject to any claims that may be made by HydroChem, approximately $1.3 million of the remaining escrowed funds (including earnings on escrowed funds to date) will be released on or about January 2002, the third anniversary of the closing date. Up to an additional $1 million may be released at such time as the Company delivers to HydroChem a certificate regarding certain environmental remediation matters, which is currently expected to be early in the year 2002. There can be no guarantee, however, that these funds, or any portion thereof, will be released to the Company. As escrowed funds, if any, are released to the Company, they will be utilized to pay expenses associated with the winding up and dissolution of the Company, as well as any unanticipated unpaid expenses or claims, with the remainder to be distributed as liquidating cash dividends to stockholders as soon as is practicable. As of March 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $350,000 in cash in addition to approximately $2.35 million held in the escrow account. The Company will not engage in any further business activities and the only remaining activities will be those associated with the winding up and dissolution of the Company. The Company believes that the remaining cash on hand and in escrow will be sufficient to meet its liabilities and obligations until the Company is dissolved in accordance with Delaware law. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's primary market risk is interest rate risk. The Company currently minimizes such risk by investing its temporary cash in money market funds and, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement entered into by and among Bank One Texas, N.A. and the Company, the escrowed funds are invested in United States Treasury Bills having a maturity of 90 days or less, repurchase obligations secured by such United States Treasury Bills and demand deposits with the escrow agent. The Company does not engage in derivative transactions, and no financial instrument transactions are entered into for hedging purposes. As a result, the Company believes that it has no material interest rate risk to manage. PART II - - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings: Not applicable Item 2.
