BUSINESS: Substantially all of the Company's operating activity is from the sale of military and other rugged footwear, the sale of specialized machinery and materials for the manufacture of this type of footwear and the rendering of technical assistance and other services to licensees for the manufacture of this type of footwear. The majority of revenues were from sales to the U.S. government, primarily the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), under contracts for the supply of boots used by the United States Armed Forces. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Bidding on DSCP boot solicitations is open to any qualified U. S. manufacturer. Bidding on contracts is very competitive. U. S. footwear manufacturers have been adversely affected by sales of footwear made in low labor cost countries. This has significantly affected the competition for contracts to supply boots to U. S. Armed Forces, which by law must be made in the United States. Most boot contracts are for multi-year periods. Therefore, a bidder not receiving an award from a significant solicitation could be adversely affected for several years. In addition, current boot contracts contain options for additional pairs that are exercisable at the government's discretion. The Company cannot predict with certainty its success in receiving a contract from any solicitation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the first interim reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. 3. LINE OF CREDIT: Due to the Company's increased accounts receivable from shipping DMS boots under surge, and to increased inventories, caused by both surge and the initial production of the ICB boot, the Company increased its line of credit during the 2004 fiscal year to $10,000,000 and it was reduced to $5,000,000 by September 1, 2004. On October 21, 2004, the Company increased its line of credit to $7,500,000. On December 9, 2004, the Company increased its line of credit back to $10,000,000 through February 28, 2005 and then the line is reduced to $9,000,000. The Company's line of credit expires April 30, 2005 and can be renewed annually at the bank's discretion. This line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on all machinery and equipment and all accounts receivable and inventory. At January 1, 2005, borrowings on this line of credit were $7,735,000 with $2,265,000 -10- available in additional borrowings. The bank credit agreement contains, among other provisions, defined levels of net worth and current ratio requirements. The Company was in compliance with the loan covenants at January 1, 2005. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE: The Company computes its basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive potential common shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options. The following is the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations: For the Six Months Ended 1/01/05 --------------------------------- Net Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic EPS Available to Shareholders $ 918,000 1,257,092 $ 0.73 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect of Dilutive Stock-based Compensation Arrangements 55,796 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted EPS Available to Shareholders $ 918,000 1,312,888 $ 0.70 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Six Months Ended 1/03/04 --------------------------------- Net Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic EPS Available to Shareholders $ 967,000 1,185,746 $ 0.82 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect of Dilutive Stock-based Compensation Arrangements 16,302 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted EPS Available to Shareholders $ 967,000 1,202,048 $ 0.80 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Three Months Ended 1/01/05 ------------------------------------ Net Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic EPS Available to Shareholders $ 521,000 1,266,402 $ 0.41 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect of Dilutive Stock-based Compensation Arrangements 37,568 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted EPS Available to Shareholders $ 521,000 1,303,970 $ 0.40 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -11- For the Three Months Ended 1/03/04 ---------------------------------- Net Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic EPS Available to Shareholders $ 551,000 1,185,746 $ 0.46 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect of Dilutive Stock-based Compensation Arrangements 22,514 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted EPS Available to Shareholders $ 551,000 1,208,260 $ 0.46 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company uses Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) to account for stock options granted to employees. Under APB 25, no compensation cost is reflected in net income for stock option awards as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or in excess of the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Under SFAS No. 123 and No. 148, a company that uses APB 25 to account for stock options must disclose the effect on reported net income of using a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The following table summarizes the effect on net income and earnings per share had the accounting for employee stock options been based on the fair value method. For the Six Months Ended January 1, January 3, 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported $ 918,000 $ 967,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation expense, net of tax 12,000 12,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma $ 906,000 $ 955,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per share: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported $ 0.73 $ 0.82 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation expense, net of tax 0.01 0.01 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma $ 0.72 $ 0.81 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings per share: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported $ 0.70 $ 0.80 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation expense, net of tax 0.01 0.01 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma $ 0.69 $ 0.79 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -12- For the Three Months Ended January 1, January 3, 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported $ 521,000 $ 551,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation expense, net of tax 6,000 6,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma $ 515,000 $ 545,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per share: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported $ 0.41 $ 0.46 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation expense, net of tax - - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma $ 0.41 $ 0.46 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings per share: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported $ 0.40 $ 0.46 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation expense, net of tax - - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma $ 0.40 $ 0.46 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. PENSION PLANS: The Company has two non-contributory, defined benefit plans. The components of pension expense, included in Cost of Sales and Services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are as follows: For the Six Months Ended January 1, January 3, 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benefits Earned for Service in the Current Period $ 73,200 $ 64,540 Interest on the Projected Benefit Obligation 174,000 177,340 Expected Return on Plan Assets (156,200) (148,680) -13- For the Six Months Ended January 1, January 3, 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortization of: Unrecognized Net Pension Obligation at July 1, 1987; Cost of Benefit Changes Since That Date; and Gains and Losses Against Actuarial Assumptions 30,400 58,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pension Expense $ 121,400 $ 151,200 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Three Months Ended January 1, January 3, 2005 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benefits Earned for Service in the Current Period $ 36,600 $ 32,270 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest on the Projected Benefit Obligation 87,000 88,670 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected Return on Plan Assets (78,100) (74,340) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortization of: Unrecognized Net Pension Obligation at July 1, 1987; Cost of Benefit Changes Since That Date; and Gains and Losses Against Actuarial Assumptions 15,200 29,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pension Expense $ 60,700 $ 75,600 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. PUERTO RICAN GOVERNMENT REFUND: The majority of the Company's boot manufacturing operations occur at the factory of a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Puerto Rico. The Company is participating in a Puerto Rican government program under which it is reimbursed for part of the compensation paid to certain employees. On September 23, 2004, that subsidiary received a reimbursement of $780,000 for compensation paid employees in the 2004 fiscal year. On December 28, 2004, the subsidiary received an additional $385,000. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months and three months ended January 1, 2005 include $1,165,000 and $385,000, respectively, as a reduction of Cost of Sales and Services. The Company has filed a reimbursement claim for $535,000 for compensation paid employees and expensed through January 1, 2005. The Company's policy is to record these reimbursements in the fiscal period in which they are received. 8. GRANT MONEY RECEIVED: In December 2004, the Company received $280,000 from the government of Puerto Rico under a Special Incentives Contract related to creating new job opportunities in its boot manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico. -14- The grant is for a five year period (fiscal years 2004 through 2008) and requires the Company to maintain a certain level of employment in Puerto Rico over the grant period. If this requirement is not met, the Company may be required to refund a pro-rata portion of the total grant. The grant is for a maximum of $526,000 and monies are disbursed based upon certain expenditures made by the Company. The Company's policy is to recognize grant monies pro-rata over the five year grant period, with grant income first recognized in the period in which it is received. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended January 1, 2005 includes $89,000 as a grant income catch-up adjustment from the $280,000 received. Of the grant monies received to date, $14,000 will be recognized as grant income in each fiscal quarter through fiscal year 2008. -15- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- Critical Accounting Policies: - ---------------------------- The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies which could have the most significant effect on the Company's reported results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgements by management. o Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company makes estimates of its future cash flows related to assets subject to impairment review. One of the most critical estimates is future demand, primarily through U. S. Department of Defense contracts, for the Company's products. Changes to this and other estimates could result in an impairment charge in future periods. o Inventory Valuation: Raw materials and supplies are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. Finished goods and work in process are valued at the lower of actual cost, determined on a specific identification basis, or market. The Company estimates which materials may be obsolete and which products in work in process or finished goods may be sold at less than cost, and adjusts its inventory value accordingly. Future periods could include either income or expense items if estimates change and for differences between the estimated and actual amount realized from the sale of inventory. o Income Taxes: The Company records a liability for potential tax assessments based on its estimate of the potential exposure. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the underlying issues, actual payments or assessments may differ from estimates. Income tax expense in future periods could be adjusted for the difference between actual payments and the Company's recorded liability based on its assessments and estimates. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to a significant part of its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is based on an evaluation of the uncertainty of future taxable income from certain jurisdictions. An adjustment could be required if circumstances and events cause the Company to change these estimates. Since July 3, 2004, the end of the 2004 fiscal year, there have been no changes in the nature of the estimates and assumptions related to these critical accounting policies. -16- Comparing the Six Months Ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW -------- The most significant events occurring in the six months ended January 1, 2005 (current period) compared to the six months ended January 3, 2004 (prior period): 1. The increase in pairs of Infantry Combat boots (ICB) sold under contract with U.S. Department of Defense. 2. The decrease in Hot Weather boots sold to the Defense Department. 3. The increase in reimbursement received from the Puerto Rican government for certain labor costs incurred. Comparative results for these two periods is as follows: Current Period Prior Period Six Months Ended Six Months Ended % of (Amounts in thousands) January 1, 2005 January 3, 2004 Change Change - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $ 24,595 $ 20,006 $ 4,589 23% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of Sales 21,892 17,612 4,280 24% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Profit 2,703 2,394 309 13% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrative Expenses 1,482 1,168 314 27% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Income 89 40 49 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating Income 1,310 1,266 44 4% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Expense, Net 137 61 76 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Taxes 255 238 17 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income $ 918 $ 967 $ (49) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the current period, Wellco had net income of $918,000 compared to a net income of $967,000 in the prior period. o Compared to the prior period, total revenues in the current period increased by $4,589,000. In the current period the Company shipped 142,000 pairs of the Infantry Combat Boot (ICB). The prior period did not contain any ICB boot sales. This increase offset a 86,000 pair decrease in shipments of Hot Weather boots. During the current period, the Company was shipping under two contracts for the ICB boot. In the prior period, the Company had one ICB boot contract but did not have any shipments. Shipments of Hot Weather boots in the prior period were under the Defense Department's surge option, primarily to meet the urgent need in Iraq. The surge need was substantially met by the end of the first quarter of the current period. o Cost of Sales and Services in the current year increased by $4,280,000, which resulted in an increase in gross profit of only $309,000. Defense Department contracts under which the Company shipped in the current period have lower margins than those of the prior period. The shrinking level of domestic commercial -17- footwear manufacturers has increased the emphasis on price when responding to Defense Department boot solicitations . Margins in the prior period were adversely affected by costs related to meeting the Iraq Hot Weather boot surge need and start-up under a new ICB boot contract. This necessitated the hiring of more than 500 new employees. Significant excess costs were incurred in training these employees and in expanding production lines. In September 2004, Hurricane Jeanne interrupted power at the Company's Puerto Rican factory for approximately one week and it took almost another week for all employees to return to work and normal production to resume. No damage was done to the factory building or its contents. However, the interruption resulted in inefficiencies in production and the air freighting of materials. In the current period, the Company was changing its production operations from boots with a solid rubber sole to boots with the contract-required three layer sole, which is a more complicated and costly construction. This caused certain delays and inefficiencies in production. The majority of the Company's boot manufacturing operations occur at the factory of a wholly- owned subsidiary located in Puerto Rico. The Company is participating in a Puerto Rican government program under which it is reimbursed for part of the compensation paid to certain employees. Under this program, the Company received and recognized as a reduction of Cost of Sales and Services in the current period $1,165,000, compared to $320,000 in the prior period. The majority of the amount received in the current period is for compensation paid in the prior fiscal year. The Company's policy is to record these reimbursements in the fiscal period in which they are received. o During the current period, the $314,000 increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily caused by increases in employee group health insurance costs. The Company has a self-funded employee group health plan under which employee health insurance costs vary with actual employee health costs. o In December 2004, the Company received $280,000 from the government of Puerto Rico under a Special Incentives Contract related to creating new job opportunities in its boot manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico. The grant is for a five year period (fiscal years 2004 through 2008) and requires the Company to maintain a certain level of employment in Puerto Rico over the grant period. If this requirement is not met, the Company may be required to refund a pro-rata portion of the total grant. The grant is for a maximum of $526,000 and monies are disbursed based upon certain expenditures made by the Company. The Company's policy is to recognize grant monies pro-rata over the five year grant period, with grant income first recognized in the period in which it is received. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six-month ended January 1, 2005 includes $89,000 as a grant income catch-up adjustment from the $280,000 received. Of the grant monies received to date, $14,000 will be recognized as grant income in each fiscal quarter through fiscal year 2008. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the prior period included grant income of $40,000 from a prior grant. This grant required the Company to maintain operations in Puerto Rico for its five fiscal years 2000 through 2004. This income was all recognized by the end of fiscal year 2004. o Interest expense increased $76,000 because of increased borrowings under a bank line of credit. -18- The income tax rate (the percent of Provision for Income Taxes to the Income Before Income Taxes) for the current period was 22% compared to 20% for the prior period. The income tax rate increase is primarily due to an increase in the proportion of total Income Before Income Taxes which is subject to full federal tax. Comparing the Three Months Ended January 1, 2005 and January 3, 2004: - --------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW -------- The most significant events occurring in the three months ended January 1, 2005 (current period) compared to the three months ended January 3, 2004 (prior period): 1. The increase in pairs of Infantry Combat boots (ICB) sold under contract with U.S. Department of Defense. 2. The decrease in Hot Weather boots sold to the Defense Department. 3. The increase in reimbursement received from the Puerto Rican government for certain labor costs incurred. Comparative results for these two periods is as follows: Current Period Prior Period Three Months Ended Three Months Ended % of (Amounts in thousands) January 1, 2005 January 3, 2004 Change Change - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $ 13,974 $ 11,389 $ 2,585 23% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of Sales 12,505 10,122 2,383 24% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Profit 1,469 1,267 202 16% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrative Expenses 794 534 260 48% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Income 89 20 69 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating Income 764 753 11 2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Expense, Net 89 36 53 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Taxes 154 166 (12) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income $ 521 $ 551 $ (30) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the three months ended January 1, 2005 (current period), Wellco had net income of $521,000 compared to a net income of $551,000 in the prior year three month period ended January 3, 2004 (prior period). o Compared to the prior period, total revenues in the current period increased by $2,585,000. In the current period the Company shipped 102,000 pairs of the Infantry Combat Boot (ICB). The prior period did not contain any ICB boot sales. This increase offset an 83,000 pair decrease shipments of the Hot Weather boots. During the current period, the Company was shipping under two contracts for the ICB boot. In the prior period, the Company had one ICB boot contract but did not have any shipments. Shipments of Hot Weather boots in the prior period were under the Defense Department's surge option, primarily to meet the urgent need in Iraq. The surge need was substantially met by the end of -19- the first quarter of the current period o Cost of Sales and Services in the current year increased by $2,383,000, which resulted in an increase in gross profit of only $202,000. Defense Department contracts under which the Company shipped in the current period have lower margins than those of the prior period. The shrinking base of domestic production of commercial footwear manufacturers has increased the emphasis on price when responding to Defense Department boot solicitations . Margins in the prior period were adversely affected by costs related to meeting the Iraq Hot Weather boot surge need and start-up under a new ICB boot contract. This necessitated the hiring of more than 500 new employees. Significant excess costs were incurred in training these employees and in expanding production lines. In the current period, the Company was changing its production operations from boots with a solid rubber sole to boots with the contract-required three layer sole, which is a more complicated and costly construction. This caused certain delays and inefficiencies in production. The majority of the Company's boot manufacturing operations occur at the factory of a wholly- owned subsidiary located in Puerto Rico. The Company is participating in a Puerto Rican government program under which it is reimbursed for part of the compensation paid to certain employees. Under this program, the Company received and recognized as a reduction of Cost of Sales and Services in the current period $385,000, compared to $274,000 in the prior period. The Company's policy is to record these reimbursements in the fiscal period in which they are received. o During the current period, the $260,000 increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily caused by increases in employee group heath insurance costs. The Company has a self-funded employee group health plan under which employee health insurance costs vary with actual employee health costs. o The amount of grant income recognized in the current period under the Puerto Rico Special Incentives Contract is $89,000. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the prior period included grant income of $20,000 from a prior grant. This grant required the Company to maintain operations in Puerto Rico for its five fiscal years 2000 through 2004. This income was all recognized by the end of fiscal year 2004. o Interest expense increased $53,000 because of increased borrowings under a bank line of credit. The income tax rate (the percent of Provision for Income Taxes to the Income Before Income Taxes) for both the current period and prior period was 23%. Forward Looking Information: - ---------------------------- Below is a summary of the Company's current boot contracts with Defense Department. In October 2004, Defense Department exercised the first option term year under the Hot Weather contract. In the base year of this contract, the Defense Department ordered 467,000 pairs, representing the maximum pairs provided for in the contract. Pairs ordered to date under this first year option total 74,000. For the first option year, the minimum that they -20- are required to buy is 83,000 pairs and the maximum that they can buy is 323,000 pairs. The Company cannot reasonably predict whether more than the minimum 83,000 pairs will be bought in first option term year. The first option term is for the period October 2004 through September 2005. In July 2004, Defense Department exercised the first year option under one of the Company's ICB boot contracts, which will be for July 2004 through June 2005. Pairs ordered to date under this first year option total 102,000, compared to a total 180,000 ordered in the base year. For the first option year, the minimum that they are required to buy is 109,000 pairs and the maximum that they can buy is 227,000 pairs. The Company cannot reasonably predict whether more than the minimum 109,000 pairs will be bought in first option term year. The Company understands that usage of this boot is less than projected. On March 10, 2004, Defense Department awarded a new contract to the Company to supply 110,010 pairs of the ICB boot in the desert tan color. The contract has a delivery period of August 2004 through April 2005. There is currently outstanding a solicitation for this boot, with delivery from June through December 2005. The Company responded to this solicitation and cannot predict its receipt of a contract. Since April 2003, the Company had been producing Hot Weather boots at an accelerated rate under the Defense Department's surge option contract clause. Shipments under the surge option were substantially completed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. When compared to fiscal year 2004, fiscal year 2005 revenues during the last six months will be less. The Company cannot reasonably estimate how much the decrease will be. The majority of the Company's boot manufacturing operations occur at the factory of a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Puerto Rico. The Company is participating in a Puerto Rican government program under which it is reimbursed for part of the compensation paid to certain employees. The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months and three months ended January 1, 2005 include $1,165,000 and $385,000, respectively, as a reduction of Cost of Sales and Services. The Company has filed a reimbursement claim for $535,000 for compensation paid employees and expensed through January 1, 2005. The Company's policy is to record these reimbursements in the fiscal period in which they are received. The requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will first apply to the Company's 2006 fiscal year. Section 404 requires the Company to document, test, and issue an opinion as to the adequacy of their internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, Section 404 requires the Company's Independent Accountants to review the Company's internal control documentation and testing results, and to issue its opinion as to the correctness of the Company's opinion as to the adequacy of their internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has received quotations from outside firms specializing in the review, documentation and testing of internal controls. The Company estimates that the cost of the internal control review and audit will be between $125,000 and $200,000. However, the actual cost could be substantially more. The Company cannot reasonably predict whether material weaknesses will be found in its internal controls over financial reporting. The business of providing boots to Defense Department is very competitive, as U. S. boot manufacturers attempt to replace commercial U. S. production lost to low-cost foreign-made boots. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- Wellco uses cash from operations and a bank line of credit to supply most of its liquidity needs. -21- The following table summarizes, at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter and the last fiscal year, the amounts of cash and unused line of credit: (in thousands) January 1, 2005 July 3, 2004 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash and Cash Equivalents $57 $58 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unused Line of Credit 2,265 3,220 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $2,322 $3,278 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table summarizes the major sources (uses) of cash for the six months ended January 1, 2005: (in thousands) January 1, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income Before Depreciation and Other Non-cash Adjustments $1,525 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Change in Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Accounts Payable, and Accrued Compensation (4,288) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Change in Income Taxes, Pension Obligation, and Other (369) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Cash Used by Operations (3,132) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Used to Purchase Plant and Equipment (939) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Provided by Line of Credit 3,955 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock Options Exercised 303 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash Dividends Paid (188) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents ($1) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the six months ended January 1, 2005, cash used by operations was $3,132,000. Net income of $918,000, depreciation and amortization of $607,000, and a $546,000 increase in accounts payable were the main operating sources of cash. The main use of operating cash were an increase in inventories of $1,800,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $2,618,000, and an decrease in accrued compensations of $416,000. Borrowings from the line of credit and the cash from the exercise of stock options were used to provide the needed cash for operations, plant and equipment additions, and to pay cash dividends. The increase in accounts receivable and inventory primarily resulted from a new contract awarded late in fiscal year 2004. The following table shows aggregated information about contractual obligations as of January 1, 2005: -22- Payments Due by Period Total Less Than 1 1-3 Years 4-5 Years After 5 Years Year - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes Payable $300,000 $300,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Building Lease 762,000 $159,000 $336,000 $267,000 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $1,062,000 $159,000 $336,000 $267,000 $300,000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wellco has paid and recorded as an account receivable $1,300,000 of air freight charges to meet Defense Department's surge need in Iraq. These payments occurred primarily in May through August, 2004. Throughout the surge period, Wellco has paid the air freight and received reimbursement from Defense Department several months later. The Defense Department has told Wellco that this amount is approved and that this item is close to having funding allocated to it. In October 2004, Wellco's bank increased its maximum line of credit from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000 and on December 9, 2004, the Company further increased it to $10,000,000 through February 28, 2005. Beginning March 1, 2005 the maximum line will be $9,000,000 through April 30, 2005. Borrowings under the line of credit at January 1, 2005 were $7,735,000. As discussed above in the Forward Looking section, the Company expects reduced boot sales in fiscal year 2005. Because this will result in lower levels of accounts receivables and inventory, the Company expects a reduction in future borrowings under the line of credit. The bank line of credit will expire and be subject to renewal on April 30, 2005. Historically, the bank has always renewed the line of credit. Under conditions of substantial reduction in operations, with little basis for projecting a reversal of such reduction, it is possible that the bank would cancel the line of credit. Events that would cause a substantial reduction in operations include cancellation of existing government contracts, not receiving future contracts and receiving government contracts that do not provide enough revenues to provide adequate liquidity. The Company expects continued need of this line of credit after April 30, 2005, and would be adversely affected if the line is not renewed. Loan agreements related to the line of credit contain covenants requiring the Company to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a certain level of working capital and tangible net worth. The Company met these requirements at January 1, 2005. The Promissory Note, Loan Agreement and Security Agreement documenting the bank line of credit provide that: o All amounts borrowed shall become due and immediately payable upon demand of the bank. o The bank's obligation to make advances under the note shall terminate: if the bank makes a demand for payment; if a default under any loan document occurs; or, in any event, on April 30, 2005, unless the Note is extended by the bank under terms satisfactory to the bank. o All amounts borrowed shall become immediately payable if Wellco commences or has commenced against it a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or in the event of default. Events of default include: o Having a current ratio less than that prescribed by the bank. o Having tangible net worth less than that prescribed by the bank. o Any failure to meet requirements under the Note, Loan Agreement or Security Agreement. -23- Other than the above, Wellco does not know of any other demands, commitments, uncertainties, or trends that will result in or that are reasonablely likely to result in its liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
