See accompanying notes. 5 MITCHAM INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The condensed financial statements of Mitcham Industries, Inc. ("the Company") have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report to Shareholders and the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 1996. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of April 30, 1996 and 1995, and cash flows for the three months then ended have been included. 2. The Company called for redemption its 895,000 publicly traded Common Stock Purchase Warrants on April 29, 1996. 892,750 of the 895,000 warrants were exercised subsequent to the end of the quarter. The dilutive effect of those warrants, as well as certain other stock options and warrants, is reflected in the computation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share. 3. The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 1997. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AND APRIL 30, 1995. Revenues of $2,270,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996 represent an increase of 66% over revenues of $1,371,000 for the same prior year period. Leasing services generated revenues of $1,804,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996, an increase of $710,000, or 65%, as compared to $1,094,000 for the same prior year period. The majority of this increase was attributable to additions of lease fleet equipment throughout fiscal 1996 and the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to meet lease demand. Seismic equipment sales for the three months ended April 30, 1996 were $466,000, an increase of $189,000, or 68%, for the same prior year period. While the Company's leasing revenues increased by $710,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996 as compared to the same prior year period, sublease costs decreased by $44,000 and depreciation, which relates primarily to equipment available for lease, increased by $316,000, resulting in an increase in net leasing revenues of $438,000. Gross margins on seismic equipment sales were 20% and 46% for the three months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Margins on sales of used equipment vary based upon the size of the transactions, the availability of the product sold and the means by which the equipment was acquired. Higher dollar transactions tend to yield lower margins than do lower dollar transactions, while readily available equipment yields lower margins than equipment that is difficult to locate. In addition, the Company's costs on a specific piece of equipment may differ substantially based upon whether it was acquired through a bulk purchase or a discrete search. The margin for the fiscal 1996 period was significantly lower because of a few low-margin transactions. General and administrative expenses increased 38%, or $138,000, for the three months ended April 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 and were 22% and 27% of total revenues for the three months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase was due primarily to increased personnel costs and higher provision for bad debt expense. The Company's provision for doubtful accounts expense increased from $30,000 in the fiscal 1996 period to $140,000 in the fiscal 1997 period. The increase reflects additional allowances provided for the increase in revenues and the corresponding increase in receivables. While management expects its past due accounts to be collected in full, additional reserves have been provided to reflect the increased credit risk associated with the increase in receivables. As of April 30, 1996, the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts receivable amounted to $487,000, which is an amount management believes is sufficient to cover any losses which may develop in trade accounts receivable as of that date. Net income for the three months ended April 30, 1996 increased by $129,000, as compared to the same fiscal 1995 period. The increase resulted primarily from the increase in net leasing revenues, offset by increases in the cost of equipment sold, general and administration and depreciation expense. 7 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of April 30, 1996, the Company had current assets of $7,372,000, including $3,912,000 in cash, and current liabilities of $2,992,000, which includes debt totaling $986,000. Cash flows from operations for the three months ended April 30, 1996, increased by $31,000 as compared to the same 1995 period. Net income, which included an additional $316,000 of depreciation, increased by $129,000 during the 1996 period. At April 30, 1996, the Company had four customers with an aggregate of $738,000 more than 90 days past due. As of the date of this report, $279,000 of these past due amounts had been collected. The Company believes it has no other significant credit problems as of April 30, 1996. Inventory increased by $42,000 as of April 30, 1996, as compared to the same prior year period, as a result of the Company's acquisition of used seismic equipment at favorable prices. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities and income taxes payable as of April 30, 1996 collectively amounted to $1,415,000, an increase of $301,000 as compared to April 30, 1995. This represents additional amounts accrued for income taxes at April 30, 1996 as compared to the same 1995 period. As of April 30, 1996, the Company had an equipment loan and a revolving line of credit with a bank. In January 1996 the Company obtained a $4.2 million equipment loan and a $1.0 million line of credit. Approximately $1.0 million of the equipment loan was advanced to the Company at January 31, 1996 and was used primarily to pay amounts due to Input/Output, Inc. ("I/O") for 3-D channel boxes acquired under the Exclusive Lease Referral Agreement with I/O (the "I/O Agreement") in fiscal 1996. In March 1996, an additional approximately $3.1 million of the $4.2 million equipment loan was advanced to the Company and an aggregate of approximately $1.5 million was used to pay all amounts outstanding under a second equipment loan and second line of credit and to pay amounts due to I/O for 3-D channel boxes acquired under the I/O Agreement in fiscal 1997. Amounts due under the term loan at April 30, 1996 are due in monthly installments of $105,668, including interest at 9.5%, through January 2000. Amounts borrowed under the $1.0 million line of credit will bear interest at prime plus .5%. Total borrowings under the line are limited to 80% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable and 50% of its eligible inventory. Both of the foregoing obligations are secured by an assignment of leases, accounts receivable, and inventory, including lease pool equipment. At April 30, 1996, the Company also an outstanding bank loan of $276,000 in connection with the Company's acquisition in fiscal 1996 of its office facilities from Mitcham Properties, Inc., a corporation wholly owned by Billy F. Mitcham, Jr. It is due in monthly installments of $2,803, including interest at 9%, through September 1998. In April 1996, the Company used proceeds from the $4.2 million equipment loan described in the previous paragraph to pay all amounts outstanding on a $50,000 loan used to renovate the facilities. From June 1994 through January 1995, the consummation of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), the Company purchased an aggregate of $4.2 million of 3-D channel boxes from I/O. The Company acquired an additional $3.7 million of 3-D channel boxes from I/O throughout fiscal 1996 and $1.6 million of seismic equipment from other manufacturers, for total capital expenditures in fiscal 1996 of approximately $5.3 million. The equipment was acquired using existing cash flows, advances from the $1.0 million line of credit obtained in January 1995 and other bank financing. 8 The Company is required to purchase an additional $2.1 million of channel boxes by December 1996 under the I/O Agreement and expects total capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 to be approximately $6.0 million. As of the date of this report, the Company has received an aggregate of approximately $700,000, $3.1 million and $440,000 from the exercise of bridge warrants, the public warrants and warrants issued to the underwriter in the IPO ("Representative's Warrants"), respectively, for an aggregate of approximately $4.2 million. The Company plans to obtain the $6.0 million of capital equipment in fiscal 1997 with a combination of cash flows from operations, the available portions of its term loan and line of credit, and a portion of the approximately $4.2 million it has already received from the exercise of the bridge warrants, the public warrants and the Representative's Warrants.
