    Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

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

 

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of EXX INC (“Company”) as of June 30, 2005 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 set forth in this Form 10-Q include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and 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. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The reader is referred to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2005.

 

On March 28, 2005, the Company determined that an intangible asset representing “customer relationships” existed at the date of purchase of Newcor. As a result of the determination the Company recognized a charge to operations in the amount of approximately $400 net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2003 and approximately $448 net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2004. The effect of this charge for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $112 and $224 net of tax, respectively, which was retroactively reflected in the financial statements included in this report.

(a) On February 20, 2004, Newcor entered into a new bank credit facility with National City Bank (the “2004 Credit Agreement”). The 2004 Credit Agreement provided for $6,000 of available borrowings with reducing availability based upon a three year equal monthly amortization schedule, secured by the machinery and equipment owned by Newcor and its subsidiaries, except the machinery and equipment securing the $2,825 of equipment notes. As of December 31, 2004 there was $4,400 of available borrowings net of a $700 outstanding letter of credit under the 2004 Credit Agreement, none of which was outstanding as of December 31, 2004. In March 2005, the available borrowings under the 2004 Credit Agreement were reduced to $2,800. At June 30, 2005, $2,100 was available net of a $700 outstanding letter of credit, none of which was outstanding.

Note 7. Recent Developments

 

In 2004, EXX had announced that Newcor had been notified by its then largest customer, American Axle & Manufacturing, that Newcor would lose certain axle machining business due to American Axle’s strategic decision to in-source axle machining. This lost business is still anticipated by Newcor commencing with the withdrawal of two parts in the third quarter of 2005 with increasing volumes of parts being withdrawn through 2006. It is anticipated that when and as American Axle completes the insourcing program the lost business and profits from the American Axle & Manufacturing business will be exceeded by the total new revenues and profits from the three programs awarded by DaimlerChrysler (DCX) which will become Newcor’s largest customer. Management of the Company has performed an impairment analysis on the long-lived assets of the operations affected by the loss of revenues related to American Axle & Manufacturing, under the provisions of SFAS No. 144. Based on this analysis, management has determined that as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there is no impairment on any of the long-lived assets as the discounted future cash flows of the subsidiary, directly affected by the loss of the American Axle business, exceeds the net book value of its assets at both these dates.

 

On May 9, 2005, EXX reported that one of the subsidiaries of Newcor received purchase orders DCX to machine axles for two current powertrain programs. The anticipated sales would approximate a 20% increase over EXX’s current sales and profitability on an annual basis. Production under the contracts began in the second quarter of 2005 and is expected to build up to full production levels in the fourth quarter of 2005.

 

On June 17, 2005, EXX reported that a second subsidiary of Newcor had been awarded a machining program for a DCX Powertrain. The annual sales of this program are estimated at approximately 10% of EXX’s 2004 annual sales. Full production under the program is planned to begin in the third quarter of 2005.

 

On April 7, 2005, an agreement to terminate the lease of the Handi-Pac Inc. subsidiary was signed retroactive to December 31, 2004. A new five month lease which expired on May 31, 2005 replaced the old lease. The first quarter of 2005, consolidated financial statements reflect the terms of the above agreements including writing off the capital lease and its related assets.

 

Note 8: Subsequent Events

 

On July 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), Newcor and Transinternational Widget Corp. (“TWC”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of EXX, were merged under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger, TWC merged with and into Newcor, with Newcor as the surviving corporation, and each issued and outstanding share of Newcor common stock was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $1,088, which amount represents the book value of said share of Newcor as of June 30, 2005. As the result of the Merger, EXX holds 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Newcor.

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)

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q 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 the Company 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 the Company’s actual results and corporate developments to differ materially from those expected. Factors that could cause results and developments to differ materially from the Company’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.

 

Results of 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, powertrain and engine components and assemblies for the automotive, medium and heavy-duty truck and agricultural vehicle industries as well as electric motors and telecommunications equipment. 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 2005 were $37,528 compared to $37,795 in 2004, a $267 decrease. Sales for the six month 2005 period were $75,054 compared to $74,109 for the six month 2004 period, a $945 increase. The Mechanical Equipment segment reported second quarter total sales of $32,604, which was an increase of $1,112 or 4% more than the prior year’s $31,492. The increase was due to deliveries of large specialty machine orders in the second quarter as well as an increase in sales of heavy duty truck components. Sales for the six month 2005 period totaled $65,626 compared to $61,542 for the six month 2004 period, an increase of $4,084 or 7%. The increase was due to deliveries of large special machine orders as well as an increase in sales of heavy duty truck components. The Plastics and Rubber segment second quarter sales were $4,924 in 2005 compared to $6,303 in 2004, a $1,379 decrease. The decrease in sales of 22% was due primarily to lower sales in the automotive market. Sales for the six month 2005 period totaled $9,428 compared to $12,567 in 2004, a $3,139 decrease or 25%. This decrease was due primarily to lower sales in the automotive market.

 

On May 9, 2005, EXX reported that one of the subsidiaries of Newcor received purchase orders from DaimlerChrysler Corporation (DCX) to machine axles for two current powertrain programs. The anticipated sales would approximate a 20% increase over EXX’s current sales and profitability on an annual basis. Production under the contracts began in the second quarter of 2005 and is expected to build up to full production levels in the fourth quarter of 2005.

 

On June 17, 2005, EXX reported that a second subsidiary of Newcor had been awarded a machining program for a DCX Powertrain. The annual sales of this program are estimated at approximately 10% of EXX’s 2004 annual sales. Full production under the program is planned to begin in the third quarter of 2005.

 

In 2004, EXX had announced that Newcor had been notified by its then largest customer, American Axle & Manufacturing, that Newcor would lose certain axle machining business due to American Axle’s strategic decision to in-source axle machining. This lost business is still anticipated by Newcor commencing with the withdrawal of two parts in the third quarter of 2005 with increasing volumes of parts being withdrawn through 2006. It is anticipated that when and as American Axle completes the insourcing program the lost business and profits from the American Axle business will be exceeded by the total new revenues and profits from the three programs awarded by DCX which will become Newcor’s largest customer.
