D.   EXX INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except number of shares and per share amounts)

 

Note 1:    The unaudited consolidated financial statements of EXX INC (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2003 and 2002 reflect all adjustments which are necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods stated. All adjustments so made are of a normal recurring nature. Certain financial information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The reader is referred to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Note 2:   Acquisition of Reorganized Newcor, Inc.

 

On January 31, 2003, a Plan of Reorganization of Newcor, Inc. (“Newcor”) became effective. Under a rights offering to stockholders included as part of Newcor’s Plan of Reorganization, the Company purchased 11,877 shares of common stock of Newcor for a total purchase price of $5,939. The shares purchased by the Company constitute 98.975% of the outstanding common stock of the reorganized Newcor entity and, as a result, Newcor ceased to be a stand-alone public reporting company and became a subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price was established in the Plan of Reorganization, as approved by the creditors, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware and the United States Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware. The source of funds for the Company’s purchase was cash on hand. In addition to the purchase made by the Company, certain former stockholders of Newcor, purchased shares of common stock of Newcor under the rights offering made in connection with the Plan of Reorganization. The former stockholders purchased an aggregate of 123 shares totaling $61, which represented 1.025%, of the aggregate purchase price and are accounted for as a minority interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The primary purpose of the acquisition of Newcor was to expand the Company’s operations. Newcor designs and manufactures precision machine components and assemblies, machine tools and custom rubber and plastic products primarily for the automotive and agricultural vehicle markets. Newcor is also a supplier of standard and specialty machines and equipment systems mainly for the automotive and appliance industries.

Note 5:    Earnings per share

 

The difference between the number of shares used to compute basic net income per share and diluted net income per share relates to additional shares to be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options, net of shares hypothetically repurchased at the average price with the proceeds of exercise. For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, these shares amounted to 871,608 shares and 49,807 shares respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, these shares amounted to 560,072 shares and 56,984 shares respectively.

 

Note 6:    Grant of Performance Award and stock options

 

On April 24, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Performance Award to David A. Segal, CEO which included the granting of 250,000 shares of Class B common stock and the granting of options to purchase 1,900,000 shares of Class A common stock with an exercise price of $.89 and options to purchase 100,000 shares of Class B common stock with an exercise price of $1.15 Both option grants expire December 31, 2013 and are fully vested and exercisable upon grant. In April, 2003, the Company recorded compensation of approximately $192,000 relating to the Class B common stock issued to the Company CEO. The acts of the Board of Directors were approved by a stockholder vote on May 22, 2003 retroactive to the date of the grants.

 

The Company accounts for the granting of options under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the net income as the options granted to the CEO had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Stands Board No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock based employee compensation.

ITEM 2.   EXX INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(In thousands, except for per share amounts)

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contains certain forward-looking statements which are covered under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Legislation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Company’s future financial performance. Although EXX INC believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be realized. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks which may cause EXX INC’s actual results and corporate developments to differ materially from those expected. Factors that could cause results and developments to differ materially from EXX INC’s expectations include, without limitation, changes in manufacturing and shipment schedules, delays in completing plant construction and acquisitions, new product and technology developments, competition within each business segment, cyclicality of the markets for the products of a major segment, litigation, significant cost variances, the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, and other risks.

 

A. Results of Operations

 

Newcor’s operations are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company commencing January 31, 2003. The results described below are not indicative of true period to period comparisons since the 2003 three month and six month periods include EXX INC for the full period and the Newcor portion only since January 31, while the 2002 three month and six month periods only include the EXX INC operations.

 

The Company is organized into two business segments, the Mechanical Equipment segment and the Plastics and Rubber segment. The Mechanical Equipment segment produces transmission, power train and engine components and assemblies for the automotive, medium and heavy-duty truck and agricultural vehicle industries, and machine tools, electric motors and telecommunications equipment for those related industries. The Plastics and Rubber segment produces cosmetic and functional seals and boots and functional engine components primarily for the automotive industry and toys.

 

Sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $42,414 compared to $4,206 in 2002, a 908% increase. The Mechanical Equipment segment reported second quarter sales of $32,222, which were an increase of $30,093 or 1,413% more than the prior year’s $2,129, while the six month sales totaled $55,131 compared to $3,920 a 1,306% increase, both primarily due to the acquisition of Newcor, Inc . The Plastics and Rubber segment second quarter sales reflected an increase of 391% to $10,192 from $2,077 in 2002, while the six month 2003 sales totaled $17,140 compared to $4,075 in 2002, both primarily due to the acquisition of Newcor, Inc. Without the acquisition, sales in the Mechanical Equipment segment increased 19% compared to the prior year’s three month period and 20% compared to the prior year’s six month period, while sales in the Plastic and Rubber segment increased 24% compared to the prior year’s three month period and 16% compared to the prior year’s six month period.

 

Gross profit for the second quarter 2003 totaled $8,132 compared to $1,418 for the comparable period in 2002, primarily due to the acquisition of Newcor, Inc. For the six month period, 2003 gross profit was $13,531 compared to $2,600 in 2002. Gross profit in the Mechanical Equipment group increased 502% compared to the prior year’s three month period and 832% compared to the prior year’s six month period. The Plastics and Rubber group accounted for a 112% increase in gross profit compared to the prior year’s three month period and 165% compared to the prior year’s six month period. Without the acquisition, gross profit in the Mechanical Equipment segment increased 52% compared to the prior year’s three month period and 50% compared to the prior year’s six month period, while the gross profit in the Plastics and Rubber segment (formerly Toys) increased 33% compared to the prior year’s three month period and 22% compared to the prior year’s six month period. Without the acquisition, on an overall basis, gross profit increased 42% compared to the prior year’s three month period and 33% compared to the prior year’s six month period, due primarily to the Mechanical Equipment segment.

 

Operating income was $3,993 in the second quarter of 2003 compared to an operating income of $313 during the second quarter of 2002.
