Quarterly Report
The following discussion of financial condition and results of operations of the
Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. This discussion and analysis includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), regarding, among other things, the Company's plans, strategies
and prospects, both business and financial. Forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many of the forward
looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may be identified by the
use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"should," "planned," "will," "may," and "estimated," among others. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements that the Company makes in this Quarterly Report are
set forth below, are set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008 and are set forth in other reports or documents
that the Company files from time to time with the SEC. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
law.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165
became effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15,
2009. The Company adopted SFAS 165 during the second quarter of 2009. See Note
14 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles"
("SFAS 168"). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
("Codification") as the authoritative source of accounting principles to be used
in the preparation of financial statements by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168
is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15,
2009. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 168 during the third quarter of 2009.
Discontinued operations
In late 2007, the Company entered into letters of intent with two companies to
sell its SkyTel division in two separate transactions. The Company completed the
sale of the SkyGuard and FleetHawk product lines in February 2008 and the sale
of the remainder of the SkyTel business in June 2008. Accordingly, the results
of the SkyTel business have been classified as discontinued operations in the
accompanying financial statements. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, the SkyTel division had revenues of $0 and $15.0 million, respectively,
and a loss before income taxes of $0 and $2.9 million, respectively. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized an additional
$500,000 loss on the sale of the SkyTel business resulting from a reduction in
the total consideration as reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Operations.
Business Segment Results
The Company operates two reportable business segments: Bell Techlogix, a
provider of integrated technology product and service solutions and the
Recreational Products Group, a wholesale distributor of aftermarket parts and
accessories for the recreational vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles and
ATVs. The Company also separately records expenses related to corporate overhead
which supports the business lines. The Company's former segment, SkyTel, has
been reflected as a discontinued operation and, therefore, is not presented.
Bell Techlogix
Bell Techlogix's revenues of $16.5 million for the second quarter of 2009
represented a 16.1% increase from the $14.2 million of revenues for the second
quarter of 2008. Product revenues of $10.2 million for the second quarter of
2009 represented a 33.3% increase from the $7.6 million of product revenues for
the second quarter of 2008, which was primarily the result of increased hardware
and software sales into the K-12 and higher education markets. Service revenues
of $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2009 represented a 3.8% decrease from
the $6.6 million of service revenues for the second quarter of 2008 due to the
expiration of certain services contracts during 2008.
Bell Techlogix's operating income of $438,000 for the second quarter of 2009
represented a $404,000 increase from the operating income of $34,000 for the
second quarter of 2008. This increase was due to an increase of $258,000 in
gross profit primarily related to the higher product revenues and a $150,000
contract termination fee and a decrease of $146,000 in SG&A expenses due
primarily to reductions in salaries and wages and shipping costs.
Recreational Products Group
Recreational Products Group ("RPG") revenues of $11.0 million for the second
quarter of 2009 represented a 7.7% decrease from the $11.9 million of revenues
for the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was primarily related to lower
sales in the marine and recreational vehicle product lines which can be
attributed primarily to a continued decline in consumer spending at dealers.
RPG operating income of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2009 represented
a $0.3 million increase from the operating income of $0.7 million for the second
quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in
SG&A expenses as a result of reductions in headcount, freight and facility costs
and an increase in gross profit margins from 27.8% in the second quarter of 2008
to 30.1% in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by the lower revenues
discussed above.
Corporate
Corporate overhead costs of $939,000 for the second quarter of 2009 represented
a 21.2% increase from $775,000 for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in
costs of $164,000 was primarily the result of a reduction to expenses in 2008 by
$200,000 due to a favorable legal settlement. The cost increase was offset
slightly by headcount reductions and the related decrease in travel and benefits
costs, and reductions in insurance and telecommunications expenses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
The Company has provided a summary of its consolidated operating results for the
six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008,
followed by an overview of its business segment performance below:
Net revenues
Net revenues were $45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to $49.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing a
decrease of $3.4 million or 6.9%. The decrease was the result of a $3.4 million
decrease in net revenues in the Recreational Products Group.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $9.9 million, or 21.5% of net revenues, for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, compared to $11.3 million, or 22.9% of net revenues, for
the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit of $1.4 million
was the result of a $0.8 million decrease in gross profit in Bell Techlogix and
a $0.6 million decrease in gross profit in the Recreational Product Group.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A expenses were $11.0 million, or 24.0% of net revenues, for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, compared to $11.9 million, or 24.2% of net revenues, for
the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in SG&A expenses of
$0.9 million consisted of reductions in SG&A expenses of $0.6 million in the
Recreational Products Group, $0.2 million in Bell Techlogix and $0.1 million in
the Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest and other, net
Net interest expense was $498,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to $446,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in net
interest expense was the result of the allocation, during the six months ended
June 30, 2008 of $592,000 of interest expense to discontinued operations offset
by the decrease in the interest rate on the Amended Convertible Note from 8.0%
to 4.0%. The net interest expense was primarily the result of the outstanding
balances under the Revolving Credit Facility and Amended Convertible Note.
Income taxes
The benefit from income taxes was $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to a provision for income taxes of $33,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, which were primarily related to state taxes.
Discontinued operations
For the six months ended June 30 2008, the SkyTel division had revenues of
$35.1 million and a loss before income taxes of $1.9 million. During the six
months ended June 30, 2009, no revenue or operating income was attributable to
discontinued operations.
Business Segment Results
Bell Techlogix
Bell Techlogix's revenues of $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009 were flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Product revenues
of $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 represented a 13.8%
increase from the $13.5 million of product revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, which was primarily the result of increased hardware and software
sales into the K-12 and higher education markets. Service revenues of
$12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 represented a 12.8%
decrease from the $13.9 million of service revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. The service revenue decrease was primarily the result of a
significant non-recurring project in the first quarter of 2008 and the
expiration of certain services contracts during 2008.
Bell Techlogix's operating loss of $151,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2009 represented a $0.6 million decrease from the operating income of
$0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decline in operating
income was the result of the expiration of certain service contracts during
2008, a significant non-recurring services project in the first quarter of 2008
and increases in sales and marketing costs in an attempt to grow the commercial
segment of the Bell Techlogix business.
Recreational Products Group
RPG revenues of $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 represented
a 15.9% decrease from the $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
This decrease was primarily related to lower sales in the recreational vehicle
and marine product lines attributed primarily to lower out of season purchases
by dealers and a continued decline in consumer spending at dealers. As a result
of the current economic uncertainty, many dealers have made strategic changes in
buying habits to stock less product and order product from distributors as they
need parts for repairs or as customers place orders.
RPG operating income of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
represented a $46,000 decrease from the operating income of $0.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily attributed to the
lower revenues discussed above, mostly offset by an increase in gross profit
margins from 26.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 27.7% during the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and a $0.6 million decrease in SG&A expenses due
to reductions in headcount, freight and facility costs.
Corporate
Corporate overhead costs of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
represented a 3.5% decease from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008. The decrease in costs of $67,000 was primarily the result of headcount
reductions and the related decrease in travel and benefits costs and reductions
in insurance and telecommunications expenses, partially offset by the
$0.2 million reduction to expenses in 2008 due to a favorable legal settlement.

down the Revolving Credit Facility, $0.6 million in payments of floor plan
payables and $0.1 million in debt acquisition costs, and $0.3 million used in

lease obligations.
Revolving Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Foothill
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $461,000 outstanding under its Revolving
Credit Facility with WFF. The Company anticipates utilizing the Revolving Credit
Facility periodically during 2009 to fund working capital needs. The Revolving
Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's
assets.
Additional Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility will be available to the
Company, up to the aggregate $10 million credit limit, subject to restrictions
based on the borrowing base. The Advances may be used to finance ongoing working
capital, capital expenditures and general corporate needs of the Company.
Advances made under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of
base rate loans, at a rate equal to the "base rate," which is the greater of
3.5% or the rate of interest per annum announced from time to time by WFF as its
prime rate, plus a margin. In the case of LIBOR rate loans, amounts borrowed
bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of 3.0% or the LIBOR Rate (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin. The Advances made under the
Credit Agreement are repayable in full on March 31, 2010. The Company may prepay
the Advances (unless in connection with the prepayment in full of all of the
outstanding Advances) at any time without premium or penalty. If the Company
prepays all of the outstanding Advances and terminates all commitments, the
Company is obligated to pay a prepayment premium.
On March 12, 2009, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment with WFF. The
Fifth Amendment added the Company's newly formed subsidiary, Bell Techlogix,
Inc., as a party to the Revolving Credit Facility and made immaterial conforming
and updating amendments.
On March 25, 2009, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment with WFF. The
Sixth Amendment modified the block on the amount of the Revolving Credit
Facility available during 2009 to amounts ranging from $3.5 million to
$6.0 million, revised the expiration date of the Revolving Credit Facility to
March 31, 2010, established a minimum prime rate of 3.5% and a minimum LIBOR
rate of 3.0%, increased the margin on both prime rate and LIBOR rate loans to
percentages ranging from 4.0% to 4.5% and revised the financial profitability
and capital expenditure covenants for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Convertible Note Held By Newcastle
On January 31, 2007, the Company issued to Newcastle the Convertible Note, a
convertible subordinated pay-in-kind promissory note with a principal amount of
$10.0 million, in order to complete the financing of the Company's acquisition
of SkyTel. The Convertible Note was amended and restated on June 13, 2008. The
Amended Convertible Note is secured by a second priority lien on substantially
all of the Company's assets. The outstanding principal balance and/or accrued
but unpaid interest on the Amended Convertible Note is convertible at any time
by Newcastle into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of
$4.00 per share (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment. The Amended
Convertible Note accrues interest at 4% per annum, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances, which interest accretes as principal on the Amended
Convertible Note as of each quarterly interest payment date. In connection with
execution of the Amended Convertible Note, and subject to certain conditions,
the Company has agreed to appoint such number of director designees of Newcastle
such that Newcastle's designees constitute 50% of the then outstanding current
members of the Company's board of directors (or, if the number of members of the
board of directors is an odd integer, such number of Newcastle designees equal
to the lowest integer that is greater than 50% of the then outstanding members).
The Company also has the option (subject to the consent of WFF) to pay interest
on the outstanding principal balance of the Amended Convertible Note in cash at
a higher interest rate (8%) following January 31, 2009 if the weighted average
market price of the Company's common stock is greater than 200% of the
Conversion Price ($8.00 per share). The Amended Convertible Note matures on
January 31, 2017. The Company has the right to prepay the Amended Convertible
. . .
