THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 6 PEERLESS TUBE COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes there to included in the Company's Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the Quarterly Report Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended March 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the Company. Certain information and foot notes disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes, however, that the disclosures in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading in any material respect. There have been no significant changes in accounting policy since December 31, 1999. The results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. NOTE 2: BUSINESS The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Since 1988, however, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows and currently has a stockholders' deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's management continues to evaluate and reshape its business plans to improve operating results and respond to changes in its very competitive market. Management continues to work towards improving the operating performance of the Company, including the stabilizing of its raw material costs. The Company has entered into an agreement that will result in the Company maximizing its purchasing power with certain key vendors. Also, as the company moves forward it has restaffed key personnel in the operations area as the Company continues its quest to increase operational productivity. Although the competition remains strong in all areas of the business, the Company has been able to increase its market share in the aluminum tube product line with sales up 34% from the prior year. Sales in the aluminum can product line have decreased by 10% during the same period, largely due to increased competition. NOTE 3: DEBT RESTRUCTUING On July 29, 1999, the Company entered into a refinancing agreement with a major, national asset based lender, covering both a new revolving credit facility and a new term loan. Borrowings against the revolving credit facility are based on specific levels of accounts receivable and inventories of the Company and bear interest at the prime rate plus three percent on the outstanding balance. The initial draw against the revolving credit line was approximately $410,000. 7 The term loan, which also carries interest at the prime rate plus three percent, will be amortized equally over 84 months. The initial amount of this loan was $2,150,000. There are minimum borrowing requirements of $1,500,000 and the maximum amount available under the combined borrowings is $5,000,000. The Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for these four loans. In addition, the agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial covenants including restrictions on the amounts of capital expenditures and a prohibition on the payment of dividends on the Company's common stock. Proceeds from these borrowings were used to 1) repay the existing asset based lender in full; 2) pay the $640,000 remaining due from the lawsuit verdict in favor of a former employee; and 3) to pay all real estate and other taxes as well as other past due accounts payable.
