NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coinmach Service Corp., a Delaware corporation ("CSC"), and all of its subsidiaries, including Coinmach Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Coinmach"). All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. CSC was incorporated on December 23, 2003 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"). Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on November 15, 2002. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the "Company," "we," and "our" shall mean CSC and its subsidiaries.
CSC had no operating activity from the date of its incorporation through November 24, 2004. Holdings and its other subsidiaries had agreed to fund CSC's ongoing operations through the date of its initial public offering of Income Deposit Securities ("IDSs"). The Board of Directors of CSC authorized the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offering of IDSs (each IDS consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and an 11% senior secured note due 2024 in a principal amount of $6.14) and a contemporaneous offering of 11% senior secured notes due 2024 (such notes, together with the 11% senior secured notes underlying IDSs, the "11% Senior Secured Notes") separate and apart from the IDSs. In connection with the offering and certain corporate reorganization transactions, Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("CLC" or "Laundry Corp."), at the time a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC.
The offerings and related transactions and use of proceeds therefrom are referred to herein collectively as the "IDS Transactions." The corporate reorganization transactions were recorded by CSC at carryover basis. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of CLC and its subsidiaries as if they had been wholly-owned by CSC as of the beginning of the earliest period reported. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
CSC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are providers of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in North America. The Company's core business (which the Company refers to as the "route" business) involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies, installing and servicing laundry equipment, collecting revenues generated from laundry machines and operating retail laundromats located throughout Texas and Arizona. Through Appliance Warehouse of America, Inc. ("AWA"), a Delaware corporation jointly-owned by CSC and Coinmach, the Company rents laundry machines and other household appliances to property owners, managers of multi-family housing properties, and to a lesser extent, individuals and corporate relocation entities. Super Laundry Equipment Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach ("Super Laundry"), constructs, designs and retrofits laundromats and distributes laundromat equipment.
During November 2004 and December 2004, CSC completed its initial public offering of 18,911,532 IDSs (578,199 of which were issued in connection with the exercise of an over-allotment option on December 21, 2004 by the underwriters in such offering) at an offering price of $13.64 per IDS (which included 18,911,532 underlying shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately $116.1 million aggregate principal amount of underlying 11% Senior Secured Notes) and a concurrent offering of $20 million of 11% Senior Secured Notes which were sold separate and apart from the IDSs. In connection with the IDS Transactions, Holdings exchanged its CLC capital stock and all of its shares of common stock of AWA for 24,980,445 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing all of the Class B Common Stock outstanding.
Based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the proceeds of the IDS offering and the offering of the separate 11% Senior Secured Notes were allocated to the shares of Class A Common Stock and the underlying 11% Senior Secured Notes based on their respective relative fair values. The price paid for the IDSs was equivalent to the fair value of $7.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and $6.14 in a principal amount of an 11% Senior Secured Note underlying the IDS, and the fair value of the separate notes was equivalent to their face value.
Pursuant to CSC's certificate of incorporation, (i) on all matters for which a vote of CSC stockholders is required, each holder of shares of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and (ii) only Class A common stockholders may vote, as a single class, to amend provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to any change that materially adversely affects voting and dividend rights or restrictions solely to which shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled or subject and does not materially adversely affect the voting, dividend or redemption rights or restrictions solely to which shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled or subject, and any such amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of such class.
In addition, on all matters for which a vote of CSC stockholders is required, each holder of Class B Common Stock is initially entitled to two votes per share. However, if at any time Holdings and certain permitted transferees collectively own less than 25% in the aggregate of our then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of any split, reclassification, combination or similar adjustments in shares of CSC common stock), at such time, and at all times thereafter, all holders of Class B Common Stock shall only be entitled to one vote per share on all matters for which a vote of CSC stockholders is required. The dividend and redemption rights of Class B common stockholders and their exclusive right to vote on the amendment of certain provisions of CSC's certificate of incorporation would not be affected by such event. Only the Class B stockholders may vote, as a single class, to amend provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to (i) an increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock or (ii) changes that affect voting, dividend or redemption rights or restrictions solely to which shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled or subject and do not materially adversely affect the dividend or voting rights or restrictions to which the shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled or subject. Any such amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
On all matters on which all holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to vote, such holders will vote together as a single class, and the a majority of the votes of such class will be required for the approval of any such matter.
CSC currently intends to pay dividends on its Class A Common Stock on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 to holders of record as of the preceding February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. CSC also currently intends to pay annual dividends on its Class B Common Stock on each June 1 to holders of record as of the preceding May 25 with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006), subject to certain limitations and exceptions with respect to such dividends, if any, payable on June 1, 2006. The payment of dividends by CSC on its common stock is subject to the sole discretion of the board of directors of CSC, various limitations imposed by the certificate of incorporation of CSC, the terms of outstanding indebtedness of CSC and Coinmach, and applicable law. Payment of dividends on all classes of CSC common stock will not be cumulative.
Interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes accrues at the rate of 11% per annum and is payable quarterly, in arrears, in cash on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, to the holders of record at the close of business on the February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.
Net proceeds from the IDS Transactions were approximately $254.3 million after expenses including underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds were used to (i) redeem a portion of Coinmach's 9% senior notes due 2010 (the "9% Senior Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium), which notes were redeemed on December 24, 2004, (ii) repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under Coinmach's senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") and (iii) redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC's outstanding Class A preferred stock (representing all of its then outstanding Class A preferred stock) and approximately $7.4 million of CLC's outstanding Class B preferred stock (representing a portion of its then outstanding Class B preferred stock).
As a result of the IDS Transactions, the Company incurred approximately $23.6 million in issuance costs including underwriting discounts and commissions, of which approximately $12.5 million was recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of the equity component of the IDS equity and approximately $11.1 million related to the 11% Senior Secured Notes was capitalized as deferred financing costs to be amortized using the effective interest method through November 24, 2024. The issuance costs were allocated between equity and debt based on the ratio of the respective relative fair values of the components of the IDSs issued. In addition to the issuance costs, CSC incurred certain expenses that were classified as Transaction costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 which included (1) the $11.3 million redemption premium on the portion of 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (2) the write-off of the deferred financing costs related to the redemption of 9% Senior Notes and the repayment of the term loans aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (3) expenses aggregating approximately $1.8 million relating to an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility effected on November 15, 2004 to, among other things, permit the IDS Transactions, and (4) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.8 million.
CSC used a portion of the proceeds of its initial public offerings of IDSs and concurrent 11% Senior Secured Notes to make an intercompany loan (the "Intercompany Loan") to Coinmach in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $81.7 million and a capital contribution (the "Capital Contribution") to CLC aggregating approximately $170.8 million, of which approximately $165.6 million was contributed by CLC to Coinmach.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
In the opinion of management of the Company, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
2. Inventories
Inventory costs for Super Laundry are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory costs for AWA and the route business are determined principally by using the average cost method and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Machine repair parts inventory is valued using a formula based on total purchases and the annual inventory turnover. Inventory consists of the following (in thousands):
|

March 31, |

$ 8,522 |
$8,882 |
|

$12,432 |
3. Goodwill and Contract Rights
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 ("SFAS 142") "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 142 requires an annual impairment test of goodwill. Goodwill is further tested between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. SFAS 142 requires a two-step process in evaluating goodwill. In performing the annual goodwill assessment, the first step requires comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the Company would need to perform the second step in the impairment test to measure the amount of goodwill write-off. Based on present operating and strategic plans, management believes that there have not been any indications of impairment of goodwill. The fair value of the reporting units for these tests is based upon a discounted cash flow model. In step two, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to the reporting units' assets and liabilities (a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date). The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated by deducting the allocated fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The remaining fair value, after assigning fair value to all of the reporting units' assets and liabilities, represents the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. If the implied fair value is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recognized. The Company has determined that its reporting units with goodwill consist of the route business, AWA and Super Laundry. Goodwill attributed to the route business, AWA and Super Laundry is as follows (in thousands):
Route |
$ 195,026 |
Rental |
6,837 |
Distribution |
2,917 |
|
$ 204,780 |
The Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill as of January 1, 2005 and determined that no impairment existed. There can be no assurances that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to income.
Contract rights represent the value of location contracts arising from the acquisition of laundry machines on location. These amounts, which arose primarily from purchase price allocations pursuant to acquisitions, are amortized using accelerated methods over periods ranging from 30 to 35 years. The Company does not record contract rights relating to new locations signed in the ordinary course of business.
Amortization expense for contract rights for each of the next five years is estimated to be as follows (in millions of dollars):
Years ending March 31, |
|
2006 (remainder of year) |
$10.1 |
2007 |
13.2 |
2008 |
12.9 |
2009 |
12.6 |
2010 |
12.3 |
The Company assesses the recoverability of contract rights in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144") "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Company has twenty-eight geographic regions to which contract rights have been allocated. The Company has contracts at every location/property, and analyzes revenue and certain direct costs on a contract-by-contract basis, however, the Company does not allocate common region costs and servicing costs to contracts, therefore regions represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows in grouping contract rights. The assessment includes evaluating the financial results/cash flows and certain statistical performance measures for each region in which the Company operates. Factors that generally impact cash flows include commission rates paid to property owners, occupancy rates at properties, sensitivity to price increases, loss of existing machine base, and the regions general economic conditions. If as a result of this evaluation there are indicators of impairment that result in losses to the machine base, or an event occurs that would indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the Company reevaluates the carrying value of contract rights based on future undiscounted cash flows attributed to that region and records an impairment loss based on discounted cash flows if the carrying amount of the contract rights are not recoverable from undiscounted cash flows. Based on present operations and strategic plans, management believes that there have not been any indicators of impairment of contract rights or long lived assets.

11% Senior Secured Notes
On November 24, 2004, CSC completed an initial public offering of 18,333,333 IDSs at a public offering price of $13.64 per IDS and contemporaneous offering of $20 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes separate and apart from the IDSs. On December 21, 2004, the underwriters of the initial public offering purchased an additional 578,199 IDSs pursuant to an overallotment exercise. Each IDS consisted of one share of Class A Common Stock and an 11% Senior Secured Note in a principal amount of $6.14. At June 30, 2005, there was approximately $136.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding, including approximately $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes held separate and apart from IDSs.
Interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes is payable quarterly, in arrears, in cash on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, to the holders of record at the close of business on the February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.
The 11% Senior Secured Notes, which are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2024, are senior secured obligations of the Company and are redeemable, at the Company's option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice (i) prior to December 1, 2009, upon payment of a make-whole premium and (ii) on or after December 1, 2009, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first-priority perfected lien, subject to certain permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company's existing and future assets, including the common stock of AWA, the capital stock of CLC and the Intercompany Loan and related guaranty. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CLC.
The indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to us and the Company's restricted subsidiaries, including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) limitation on additional indebtedness; (ii) limitation on certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on the Company's capital stock, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of the Company's capital stock, the voluntary prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, and certain investments); (iii) limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on liens; (v) limitation on sales of assets; (vi) limitation on the issuance of preferred stock by non-guarantor subsidiaries; (vii) limitation on conduct of business; (viii) limitation on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (ix) limitations on exercising Class B Common Stock redemption rights and consummating purchases of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of sales rights by holders; and (x) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of the Company's assets.
At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the 11% senior secured notes.
9% Senior Notes
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach issued $450 million of 9% Senior Notes. Interest on the 9% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 to the holders of record at the close of business on the January 15 and July 15, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. The 9% Senior Notes, which are to mature on February 1, 2010, are unsecured senior obligations of Coinmach and are redeemable, at its option, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, on or after February 1, 2006, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption. The 9% Senior Notes contain certain financial covenants and restrict the payment of certain dividends, distributions or other payments from Coinmach to CLC. The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured senior basis by Coinmach's domestic subsidiaries.
On December 24, 2004, Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds of CSC's initial public offerings of IDSs and separate 11% Senior Secured Notes to redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium). The 9% Senior Notes described above were redeemed on December 24, 2004 with the funds that were set aside in escrow on November 24, 2004. As a result of such redemption, at June 30, 2005 there was $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes outstanding.
At June 30, 2005, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is comprised of: (i) a revolving credit facility which has a maximum borrowing limit of $75 million and is scheduled to expire on January 25, 2008 and (ii) $280 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans. The revolving credit portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides up to $10 million of letter of credit financings and short-term borrowings under a swing line facility of up to $7.5 million. Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Coinmach's real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of Coinmach's domestic subsidiaries. Under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Coinmach and CLC pledged to the Collateral Agent their interests in all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Coinmach and Coinmach's domestic subsidiaries.
As a condition to the consummation of CSC's initial public offerings of IDSs and separate 11% Senior Secured Notes, Coinmach entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on November 15, 2004 to, among other things, permit consummation of the IDS Transactions. Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds from the initial public offerings to repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires Coinmach to make an annual mandatory repayment of principal on the outstanding balance of the term loans based on 50% of "excess cash flow," as defined. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the amount required to be repaid was approximately $10.0 million and was paid on July 12, 2005.
In addition to certain customary terms and provisions, including events of default and customary representations, covenants and agreements, the Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization coverage ratio and limitations on indebtedness, capital expenditures, advances, investments and loans, mergers and acquisitions, dividends, stock issuances and transactions with affiliates. Also, the Senior Secured Credit Facility limits Coinmach's ability to pay dividends.
At June 30, 2005, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2005, on a consolidated basis, the Company's outstanding total debt included (i) $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes, (ii) approximately $239.3 million of term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility with an interest rate of 6.19% and (iii) approximately $136.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes, including approximately $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes held separate and apart from IDSs. As of June 30, 2005, the amount available under the revolving credit portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility was approximately $68.6 million. Letters of credit under the Senior Secured Credit Facility outstanding at June 30, 2005 were approximately $6.4 million. The term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are scheduled to be fully repaid by July 25, 2009. As of June 30, 2005, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolver portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Intercompany Loan
CSC made an Intercompany Loan of approximately $81.7 million to Coinmach which is eliminated in consolidation. Interest under the Intercompany Loan accrues at an annual rate of 10.95% and is payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year and the Intercompany Loan is due and payable in full on December 1, 2024. The Intercompany Loan is a senior unsecured obligation of Coinmach, ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Coinmach (including indebtedness under the 9% Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach. Certain of Coinmach's domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis. The Intercompany Loan currently contains covenants (other than a covenant providing for the delivery of reports to holders) that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the 9% Senior Notes (as such covenants may be modified in the future pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes);provided, however, that on the redemption or repayment in full of the 9% Senior Notes, the covenants contained in the Intercompany Loan will become substantially the same as those provided in the terms of such other indebtedness that refinances or replaces the 9% Senior Notes or, in the absence thereof, the terms of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. The Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan by certain subsidiaries of the Company were pledged by CSC to secure the repayment of the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If at any time Coinmach is not prohibited from doing so under the terms of its then outstanding indebtedness, in the event that CSC undertakes an offering of IDSs or Class A Common Stock, a portion of the net proceeds of such offering, subject to certain limitations, will be loaned to Coinmach and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
If Coinmach merged with or into CSC, the Intercompany Loan would be terminated and Coinmach, as a constituent corporation of the merged companies, would become responsible for the payment obligations relating to the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Intercompany Loan, the Intercompany Loan holder will have the right to declare all obligations under the Intercompany Loan immediately due and payable; provided that if Coinmach shall become the subject of an insolvency, bankruptcy or cross-acceleration event of default, all of the obligations under the Intercompany Loan and the guarantees in respect thereof shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without any action or notice. Any waiver of a default or an event of default under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes that causes a default or an event of default under the Intercompany Loan shall also be a waiver of such default or event of default under the Intercompany Loan without further action or notice.
At June 30, 2005, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Intercompany Loan.
Interest Rate Swaps
On September 23, 2002, Coinmach entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively converts a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The three swap agreements consist of: (i) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006; (ii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006; and (iii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.90% and expiring on February 1, 2006. These interest rate swaps used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges. The Company recognized a slight accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholder's equity section for the three months ended June 30, 2005, relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
5. Guarantor Subsidiaries
CLC has guaranteed the 11% Senior Secured Notes referred to in Note 4 on a full and unconditional basis. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are not currently guaranteed by any other subsidiary. Other subsidiaries, including Coinmach, are required to guarantee the 11% Senior Secured Notes on a senior unsecured basis upon the occurrence of certain events. The condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, the condensed consolidating statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2005 include the condensed consolidating financial information for CSC, CLC and CSC's other indirect subsidiaries. Prior corresponding periods present the condensed consolidating financial information for CLC and CSC's other indirect subsidiaries as if they had been wholly-owned by CSC as of the beginning of the earliest period reported.

6. Segment Information
The Company reports segment information for the route segment, its only reportable operating segment, and provides information for its two other operating segments reported as "All other." The route segment, which comprises the Company's core business, involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies typically on a long-term, renewal basis, installing and servicing the laundry equipment, collecting revenues generated from laundry machines, collection services to third party operators and operating retail laundromats. The other business operations reported in "All other" include the aggregation of the rental, distribution and franchise businesses. The rental business involves the leasing of laundry machines and other household appliances to property owners, managers of multi-family housing properties and to a lesser extent, individuals and corporate relocation entities through the Company's jointly-owned subsidiary, AWA. The distribution business involves constructing complete turnkey retail laundromats, retrofitting existing retail laundromats, distributing exclusive lines of coin and non-coin machines and parts, and selling service contracts through the Company's subsidiary, Super Laundry. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on EBITDA (earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization), cash flow and growth opportunity. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate the Company's ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA is also used by management as a measure of evaluating the performance of the Company's three operating segments. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance. Management uses EBITDA to develop compensation plans, to measure sales force performance and to allocate capital assets. Additionally, because the Company has historically provided EBITDA to investors, management believes that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in financial reporting. Management's use of EBITDA, however, is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles the Company's net loss to EBITDA for each period presented (in millions):

8. Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share for the two classes of common stock is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share for the Company's two classes of common stock will be the same as basic loss per share because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Net loss available to common stockholders is allocated to the Company's two classes of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding since both classes have the same participation rights. In computing the weighted average number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2004, the calculation assumes that the Class B Common Stock was outstanding for the entire three months. In computing the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2004, the calculation assumes that there was no Class A Common Stock outstanding. Loss per share for each class of common stock under the two class method is presented below (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

On May 12, 2005, the board of directors of CSC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $3.9 million in the aggregate), which was paid on June 1, 2005 to holders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2005.
On August 9, 2005, the board of directors of CSC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $3.9 million in the aggregate), which cash dividend is payable on September 1, 2005 to holders of record as of the close of business on August 25, 2005.
9. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Deficit
In July 2000, all of the then issued and outstanding capital stock of CLC was cancelled, and CLC issued (i) 20.77 shares of Class A preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 12.5% (which increased to 14% on November 15, 2002) on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), (ii) 53.84 shares of Class B preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 8% on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the "Class B Preferred Stock" and, together with the Class A Preferred Stock, (the "Preferred Stock") and (iii) 59,823.30 shares of common stock, par value $25 per share (the "Common Stock"). The Preferred Stock does not have voting rights, has a liquidation value of $2.5 million per share and is mandatorily redeemable on July 5, 2010.
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities. This standard requires, among other things, that any of various financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date be classified as liabilities, any dividends paid on the underlying shares be treated as interest expense, and issuance costs should be deferred and amortized using the interest method. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for CLC). As required by SFAS No. 150, accrued and unpaid dividends in fiscal years prior to adoption of SFAS No. 150 have not been reclassified to interest expense. Effective April 1, 2003, dividends on the Preferred Stock have been classified as interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company had recorded approximately $6.6 million of Preferred Stock dividends as interest expense. The Preferred Stock was carried at the amount of cash that would be paid under their terms if the shares were repurchased or redeemed at the reporting date.
In November 2004 and December 2004, in connection with the IDS Transactions, a portion of the net proceeds from the initial public offering was used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC's Class A Preferred Stock (representing all of its then outstanding Class A Preferred Stock) and approximately $7.4 million of CLC's Class B Preferred Stock (representing a portion of its then outstanding Class B Preferred Stock). Any outstanding capital stock of CLC not previously redeemed was exchanged in January 2005 by Holdings with CSC for additional shares of Class B Common Stock. Therefore, all of the outstanding capital stock of CLC, including all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Stock, is now held by CSC.
Under CLC's equity participation plan (the "Equity Participation Plan"), in July 2000, loans were extended by CLC (the "EPP Loans") to certain employees for the purchase of CLC common stock at a fixed price per share equal to the fair market value of such common stock at the time of issuance as determined by the board of directors of CLC. Additionally, certain members of senior management of the Company also acquired Class B Preferred Stock at such time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Participation Plan, the CLC Preferred Stock was fully vested at the time of purchase, and the common stock vested over a specified period, typically over four years.
In March 2003, through a series of transactions, all of the outstanding capital stock of CLC was contributed to Holdings in exchange for substantially equivalent equity interests in the form of common membership units (the "Common Units") and preferred membership units (the "Preferred Units") in Holdings.
The EPP Loans are payable in installments over ten years and accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum. There are no shares reserved for future issuance. The Equity Participation Plan contains certain restrictions on the transfer of the Common and Preferred Units.
At June 30, 2005, there were 27,046,965 Common Units and 693 Preferred Units outstanding under the Equity Participation Plan of which 27,036,965 Common Units and 693 Preferred Units were vested.
Previously due installments on the EPP Loans have been forgiven by the Company on or prior to their respective due dates. As a result, such loans are considered non-recourse and therefore treated as an award of stock requiring the recognition of compensation expense. Such expense is measured at fair value as of the time the stock award vests and is subsequently remeasured for changes in fair value until such time as the measurement date is established (upon forgiveness or repayment of the entire loan). CLC has recorded compensation expense of approximately $12,000 and $18,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
10. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On November 24, 2004, the CSC board of directors adopted the CSC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2004 LTIP"). The 2004 LTIP provides for the grant of non-qualified options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards. The maximum number of securities available for awards under the 2004 LTIP is 15% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock immediately following consummation of the IDS Transactions, which equals 6,583,796 shares. As of June 30, 2005, the Board of Directors had authorized up to 2,836,729 shares for issuance under the 2004 LTIP. At June 30, 2005, CSC had not issued any securities under the 2004 LTIP.
11. Subsequent Event
On August 9, 2005, the board of directors of CSC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $3.9 million in the aggregate), which cash dividend is payable on September 1, 2005 to holders of record as of the close of business on August 25, 2005.
General
Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters discussed in this document are forward-looking statements based on the beliefs of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties discussed below, as well as other risks set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 under the caption "Business -- Risk Factors." Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our future performance and actual results of operations may differ materially from those expected or intended. See "--Special Note Concerning Forward Looking Statements" below.
Our primary financial objective is to increase our cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations represents a source of funds available to service indebtedness, pay dividends and for investment in both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. We have experienced net losses during the past three fiscal years. Such net losses were attributable in part to significant non-cash charges associated with our acquisitions and the related amortization of contract rights accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We incur significant depreciation and amortization expense relating to annual capital expenditures, which also reduces our net income. The continued incurrence of significant depreciation and amortization expenses may cause us to continue to incur losses.
Overview
We are principally engaged in the business of supplying laundry equipment services to multi-family housing properties. Our most significant revenue source is our route business, which over the last three fiscal years has accounted for approximately 88% of our revenue. Through our route operations, we provide laundry equipment services to locations by leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies, typically on a long-term, renewable basis. In return for the exclusive right to provide these services, most of our contracts provide for commission payments to the location owners. Commission expense (also referred to as rent expense), our single largest expense item, is included in laundry operating expenses and represents payments to location owners. Commissions may be fixed amounts or percentages of revenues and are generally paid monthly. In addition to commission payments, many of our leases require us to make advance location payments to location owners, which are capitalized and amortized over the life of the applicable leases. Advance location payments to location owners are paid, as required by the applicable lease, at the inception or renewal of a lease for the right to operate applicable laundry rooms during the contract period, which generally ranges from 5 to 10 years. The amount of advance location payments varies depending on the size of the location and the term of the lease.
Included in our route business are retail laundromats which we operate in Texas and Arizona. The operation of retail laundromats involves leasing store locations in desirable geographic areas, maintaining an appropriate mix of washers and dryers at each store location and servicing the washers and dryers at such locations.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
We also operate an equipment rental business through Appliance Warehouse of America, Inc. ("AWA"), a Delaware corporation that is jointly-owned by us and Coinmach. AWA leases laundry equipment and other household appliances and electronic items to property owners, managers of multi-family housing properties, and to a lesser extent, individuals and corporate relocation entities.
We also operate an equipment distribution business through Super Laundry Equipment Corp. ("Super Laundry"), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. Super Laundry's business consists of constructing and designing complete turnkey retail laundromats, retrofitting existing retail laundromats, distributing exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-coin operated machines and parts, and selling service contracts.
Laundry operating expenses include, in addition to commission payments, (i) the cost of machine maintenance and revenue collection in the route and retail laundromat business, including payroll, parts, insurance and other related expenses, (ii) costs and expenses incurred in maintaining our retail laundromats, including utilities and related expenses, (iii) the cost of sales associated with the equipment distribution business and (iv) certain expenses related to the operation of our rental business.
Critical Accounting Policies: Use of Estimates
Our financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue and cash and cash equivalents include an estimate of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period, which remain at laundry room locations. We calculate the estimated amount of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period, which remain at laundry room locations by multiplying the average daily collection amount applicable to the location with the number of days the location had not been collected. We analytically review the estimated amount of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period by comparing such amount with collections subsequent to the reporting period.
We are required to estimate the collectibility of our receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2005 was approximately $3.9 million.
We currently have significant deferred tax assets, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of our deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon our achievement of projected future taxable income. Management's judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions and other factors. These changes, if any, may require possible material adjustments to these deferred tax asset balances.
We have significant costs in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill), contract rights and long-lived assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. Additionally, goodwill is tested between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We have determined that our reporting units with goodwill consist of our route business, AWA and Super Laundry. Goodwill attributed to the route business, AWA and Super Laundry both at June 30, 2005 and at March 31, 2005 was approximately $195.0 million, $6.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively. In performing the annual goodwill assessment, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its net asset-carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then it is determined that goodwill is not impaired. Should the carrying amount exceed the fair value, the second step in the impairment test would be required to be performed to determine the amount of goodwill write-off. The fair value for these tests is based upon a discounted cash flow model. Factors that generally impact cash flows include commission rates paid to property owners, occupancy rates at properties, sensitivity to price increases, loss of existing machine base and the prevailing general economic and market conditions. An annual assessment of goodwill as of January 1, 2005 was performed and it was determined that no impairment existed.
Contract rights represent amounts expended for location contracts arising from the acquisition of laundry machines on location. These amounts arose solely from purchase price allocations pursuant to acquisitions made by us over a number of years based on an analysis of future cash flows. We do not record contract rights relating to new locations signed in the ordinary course of business. We estimate that approximately 90% of our contracts are long-term whereby the average term is approximately 8 years with staggered maturities. Of the remaining locations not subject to long-term agreements, we believe that we have retained a majority of such customers through long-standing relationships and continue to service such customers. Although the contracts have a legal life, there are other factors such as renewals, customer relationships and extensions that contribute to a value greater than the initial contract term. Over 90% of our contracts renew automatically and we have a right of first refusal upon termination in over 60% of our contracts. The automatic renewal clause typically provides that, if the property owner fails to take any action prior to the end of the lease term or any renewal term, the lease will automatically renew on substantially similar terms. In addition, over 85% of our contracts allow for unilateral price increases. Historically, we have demonstrated an ability to renew contracts, retain our customers and build upon those relationships. Since April 1997, we have posted net machine gains, exclusive of acquisitions, and our losses have averaged approximately 3% annually. Therefore, we believe that the cash flows from these contracts continue to be generated beyond the initial legal contract term and subsequent renewal periods. As a result, we believe that the useful lives of contract rights are related to the expected cash flows that are associated with those rights and the amortization periods for contract rights should generally reflect those useful lives and, by extension, the cash flow streams associated with them. The useful lives being used to amortize contract rights range from approximately 30 to 35 years.
We have twenty-eight geographic regions to which contract rights have been allocated, which regions represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows in grouping contract rights. Each region consists of approximately 1,000 to 8,000 contracts for the various locations/properties that comprise that region. We do not analyze impairment of contract rights on a contract-by-contract basis. Although we have contracts at every location/property and analyze revenue and certain direct costs on a contract-by-contract basis, we do not allocate common region costs and servicing costs to each contract.
We assess the recoverability of location contract rights and long-lived assets on a region-by-region basis. We evaluate the financial performance/cash flows for each region. This evaluation includes analytically comparing the financial results/cash flows and certain statistical performance measures for each region to prior period/year actuals and budgeted amounts. Factors that generally impact cash flows include commission rates paid to property owners, occupancy rates at properties, sensitivity to price increases and the regions general economic conditions. In addition, each year we lose a certain amount of our existing machine base, which essentially equates to loss of contract rights. Such loss has historically averaged approximately 3% annually. The accelerated amortization of contract rights is designed to capture and expense this shrinking machine base. An increase in the historical loss rate would also be a strong indicator of possible impairment of location contract rights and long-lived assets. If based on our initial evaluation there are indicators of impairment that result in losses to the machine base, or an event occurs that would indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, we reevaluate the carrying value of contract rights and long-lived assets based on future undiscounted cash flows attributed to that region and record an impairment loss based on discounted cash flows if the carrying amount of the contract rights are not recoverable from undiscounted cash flows. Based on present operations and strategic plans, we believe that there have not been any indicators of impairment of location contract rights or long-lived assets.
Accounting Treatment for IDSs
On November 24, 2004, we completed an initial public offering of 18,333,333 Income Deposit Securities ("IDSs"), each IDS consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock), and an 11% senior secured note due 2024 in a principal amount of $6.14, at a public offering-price of $13.64 per IDS. In addition, we completed a concurrent offering of $20 million aggregate principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due 2024 sold separate and apart from the IDSs (together with the 11% senior secured notes underlying IDSs, the "11% Senior Secured Notes"). We refer to these offerings collectively as the "IPO." On December 21, 2004, the underwriters of the IPO purchased an additional 578,199 IDSs pursuant to an overallotment exercise. The IPO and related transactions and use of proceeds therefrom are referred to herein collectively as the "IDS Transactions."
A portion of the aggregate IDSs outstanding represents 11% Senior Secured Notes recorded as long-term debt. We have concluded that it is appropriate to annually deduct interest expense on the 11% Senior Secured Notes from taxable income for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. There can be no assurances that the IRS will not seek to challenge the treatment of these notes as debt or the amount of interest expense deducted, although to date we have not been notified that the 11% Senior Secured Notes should be treated as equity rather than debt for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. If the 11% Senior Secured Notes would be required to be treated as equity for income tax purposes, the cumulative interest expense totaling approximately $7.8 million, through June 30, 2005, would not be deductible from taxable income, and we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. The additional tax due to federal, state and local authorities would be based on our taxable income or loss for each of the respective years that we take the interest expense deduction. We do not currently intend to record a liability for a potential disallowance of this interest expense deduction.
Based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the proceeds of the IDS offering and the offering of the separate 11% Senior Secured Notes were allocated to the shares of Class A Common Stock and the underlying 11% Senior Secured Notes based on their respective relative fair values. The price paid for the IDSs was equivalent to the fair value of $7.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and $6.14 in principal amount of an 11% Senior Secured Note underlying an IDS, and the fair value of the separate notes was equivalent to their face value.
In addition, we have concluded that there are no embedded derivative features in the IDSs or within the Class B Common Stock which requires separate accounting. The make-whole redemption provision allows us to redeem all or a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes prior to the date that is 60 months after November 24, 2004, the closing date of the IPO, at a redemption price that could result in a premium, therefore resulting in an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. However, the terms of the embedded derivative permit us to redeem the 11% Senior Secured Notes at an amount that will always exceed the fair value of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. As a result, this option will always be out of the money, and, therefore, the value ascribed to the embedded derivative is minimal. Accordingly, we initially recorded it at a value of zero. The optional redemption provision at scheduled prices allows us to redeem all or part of the 11% Senior Secured Notes at scheduled premium prices. Although the 11% Senior Secured Notes are redeemable at a premium, further analysis under SFAS 133 has led us to conclude that the option is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and should not be bifurcated. The tax redemption provision allows us to redeem all of the 11% Senior Secured Notes at par if the interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes is not tax deductible. As a result of the redemption price being at par and the 11% Senior Secured Notes initially recorded without a substantial premium or discount, we have concluded that this option is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and should not be bifurcated. The change of control put option allows the note holders to put the 11% Senior Secured Notes to us at a price equal to 101% of par. Although the 11% Senior Secured Notes are callable at a premium, further analysis under SFAS 133 has led us to conclude that the option is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and should not be bifurcated, principally because such premium does not cause the investor to double the initial contractual rate of return.
The entire proceeds of the offerings were allocated to the Class A Common Stock and the 11% Senior Secured Notes and the allocation of the IDS proceeds to the Class A Common Stock and the 11% Senior Secured Notes did not result in a substantial premium or discount. Upon subsequent issuances of notes or IDSs, we will evaluate whether there is a substantial discount or premium. We expect that if there is a substantial discount or premium upon a subsequent issuance of notes, certain redemption features of the 11% Senior Secured Notes may be considered not clearly and closely related, and we would separately account for these features as embedded derivates. If the embedded derivates are required to be bifurcated, we will (a) value the derivative, (b) record such value as a reduction of the 11% Senior Secured Notes (discount) with a corresponding derivative liability, (c) accrete the discount on the 11% Senior Secured Notes up to their par value using the effective interest method with a corresponding charge to interest expense, and (d) revalue the derivative liability quarterly with the difference (increase or decrease) recorded to interest expense.
The Class A Common Stock portion of each IDS and the Class B Common Stock are included in stockholders' equity, net of related transaction costs, and dividends paid on the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock was recorded as a decrease to stockholders' equity when declared. The notes portion of each IDS are presented as long-term obligations, and the related transaction costs were capitalized as deferred financing fees and amortized to interest expense over the term of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. Interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes is charged to interest expense as it is accrued.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Comparison of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004.
The following table sets forth our revenues for the periods indicated (in millions of dollars):

Revenue increased by approximately $0.3 million, or less than 1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period.
Route revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately $1.5 million, or 1%, over the prior year's corresponding period. We believe that the increase was primarily due to the net result of an increase in third party service income and price increases, offset by decreased revenue primarily in the Southeast operations caused by higher vacancy rates in these regions.
Rental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 4%, over the prior year's corresponding period. This increase was primarily the result of internal growth of the machine base in existing areas of operations during the current and prior years.
Distribution revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or 22%, from the prior year's corresponding period. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales from the Northeast and Midwest operations. Sales from the distribution business unit are sensitive to general market conditions and economic conditions.
Laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or less than 1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. As a percentage of revenues, laundry operating expenses were approximately 68% for both the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 and the three-month period ended June 30, 2004.
The decrease in laundry operating expenses was due primarily to decreased cost of sales of approximately $1.1 million due to decreased sales in the Northeast and Midwest operations in the distribution business. This decrease in laundry operating expenses was offset primarily by an (i) increase in salary expense of approximately $0.6 million in the route business associated with collection services and (ii) an increase in fuel costs of approximately $0.4 million primarily due to increased fuel prices.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to incremental public company administrative fees and expenses including but not limited to incremental director and officer liability insurance, additional directors' fees, investor and public relations expenses, and other miscellaneous costs and expenses relating to compliance with applicable securities laws. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were approximately 1.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately 1.8% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or less than 1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a reduction in depreciation expense relating to reduced capital expenditures over the past few years.
Amortization of advance location payments decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 16%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the amount of advance location payments made in the prior years.
Amortization of intangibles decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 5%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The decrease was primarily the result of amortization expenses recorded on an accelerated basis in prior years.
Operating income margins were approximately 10.3% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately 9.2% for the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in operating income margin was primarily due to a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense as well as an increase in revenue.
Interest expense increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 8%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. As part of the IDS Transactions, we redeemed $125.5 million aggregate principal amount of Coinmach's 9% senior notes due 2010 (the "9% Senior Notes") and approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under Coinmach's senior secured credit facility, dated January 25, 2002 (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility"). In the IPO, we issued approximately $116.1 million of 11% Senior Secured Notes underlying IDSs and $20.0 million of additional 11% Senior Secured Notes separate and apart from IDSs. In addition, there has been an increase in variable interest rates payable under the Senior Secured Credit Facility resulting from a market increase in interest rates. This was offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from the interest rate swap agreements totaling $150 million entered into by Coinmach in September 2002 that are at a slightly lower fixed interest rate as compared to the variable interest rates.
Interest expense-non cash preferred stock dividends were approximately $6.6 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2004. A portion of the net proceeds from the IPO was used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC's outstanding Class A preferred stock and approximately $7.4 million of CLC's outstanding Class B preferred stock. In addition, in connection with the IDS Transactions, Holdings exchanged all of the then outstanding CLC capital stock owned by it and all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AWA with CSC for 24,980,445 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. As a result of the IDS Transactions, we became controlled by Holdings.
The benefit for income taxes for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $0.5 million as compared to a benefit for income taxes of approximately $0.7 million for the prior year's corresponding period. The change of $0.2 million is primarily due to an increase in operating income. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 was approximately 35% as compared to 8% for the prior year's corresponding period. The increased effective tax rate is primarily due to permanent differences in the current period representing a greater percentage of book income as compared to permanent differences in the prior year.
Net loss was approximately $1.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to net loss of approximately $7.8 million for the prior year's corresponding period. The change is primarily due to interest expense-non cash preferred stock dividends incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2004 which were not applicable in the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, as the preferred stock was either repaid or converted into equity in connection with the IDS Transactions. Such net losses are attributable in part to significant non cash charges associated with our acquisitions and the related amortization of contract rights accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We incur significant depreciation and amortization expense relating to annual capital expenditures, which also reduces our net income.

______________
EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA is also used by management as a measure of evaluating the performance of our three operating segments. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance. Management uses EBITDA to develop compensation plans, to measure sales force performance and to allocate capital assets. Additionally, because we have historically provided EBITDA to investors, we believe that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in financial reporting. Our use of EBITDA, however, is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined by GAAP) as an indicator of operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as determined by GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA for the periods indicated in the table immediately above.
EBITDA was approximately $40.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately $40.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. EBITDA margin was approximately 30.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 29.9% for the prior year's corresponding period. The increase in EBITDA and EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to an increase in revenue in the route business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a holding company with no material assets other than the capital stock of our subsidiaries, the intercompany note of Coinmach and the guaranty of such intercompany note by certain subsidiaries of Coinmach. Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. The intercompany note and related guarantees are described below under "-- Financing Activities -- The Intercompany Loan." Our liquidity requirements primarily consist of interest payments on our 11% Senior Secured Notes and dividend payments, if any, on our common stock. Our ability to make such payments will depend on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiaries and the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute amounts to us, including by way of payments on the intercompany note.
We and our subsidiaries have substantial indebtedness and debt service requirements. At June 30, 2005, on a consolidated basis, we had outstanding total debt of approximately $708.3 million, which included (i) $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes, (ii) approximately $239.3 million of borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and (iii) approximately $136.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes, including approximately $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes held separate and apart from IDSs. Letters of credit under the Senior Secured Credit Facility outstanding at June 30, 2005 were approximately $6.4 million. The 9% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on February 1, 2010. The term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are scheduled to be fully repaid by July 25, 2009. As of June 30, 2005, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolver portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is scheduled to expire on January 25, 2008. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2024.
Our stockholders' equity was approximately $104.3 million as of June 30, 2005.
The primary liquidity needs of our operating subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are to fund capital expenditures, service indebtedness and support working capital requirements. We have met these requirements for the past three fiscal years. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and selected borrowings available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $66.5 million and available borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility of approximately $68.6 million.
As we have focused on increasing our cash flow from operating activities, we have made significant capital investments, primarily consisting of capital expenditures related to acquisitions, renewals and growth. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize cash flows from operations to finance our capital expenditures and working capital needs, including interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and to pay dividends on our common stock.
Dividend Policy
In connection with the IPO, our board of directors adopted a dividend policy that reflects a basic judgment that our stockholders would be better served if we distributed our available cash to them instead of retaining it in our business. Pursuant to this policy, we expect that cash generated by us in excess of operating needs, interest and principal payments on indebtedness, and capital expenditures sufficient to maintain our properties and other assets would generally be available for distribution as regular cash dividends.
However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends at the levels set forth in our dividend policy, or at all. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed and holders of our common stock do not have any legal right to receive, or require us to declare, dividends. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend or repeal our dividend policy at any time and decrease or eliminate dividend payments. If we had insufficient cash to pay dividends in the amounts set forth in our dividend policy, we would need either to reduce or eliminate dividends or, to the extent permitted under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility, fund a portion of our dividends with borrowings or from other sources.
As a result of our dividend policy, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to finance growth opportunities or unanticipated capital expenditure needs or to fund our operations in the event of a significant business downturn. We may have to forego growth opportunities or capital expenditures that would otherwise be necessary or desirable if we do not find alternative sources of financing. If we do not have sufficient cash for these purposes, our financial condition and our business will suffer.
On May 12, 2005, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $3.9 million in the aggregate), which was paid on June 1, 2005 to holders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2005.
On August 9, 2005, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $3.9 million in the aggregate), which cash dividend is payable on September 1, 2005 to holders of record as of the close of business on August 25, 2005.
Financing Activities
We have from time to time used external financings to meet cash needs for operating expenses, the payment of interest, retirement of debt and acquisitions and capital expenditures. We may use external financings in the future to refinance or fund the retirement of our and our subsidiaries' existing indebtedness. The timing and amount of external financings depend primarily upon economic and financial market conditions, our consolidated cash needs and our future capital structure objectives, as well as contractual limitations on additional financings. Additionally, the availability and cost of external financings will depend upon the financial condition of the entities seeking those funds.
The Initial Public Offering
On November 24, 2004, we completed the IPO of 18,333,333 IDSs at a public offering price of $13.64 per IDS and $20 million aggregate principal amount of separate 11% Senior Secured Notes. On December 21, 2004, the underwriters of the IPO purchased an additional 578,199 IDSs pursuant to an overallotment exercise.
Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $254.3 million, after expenses including underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds were used to (i) redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium), (ii) repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and (iii) redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC's outstanding Class A preferred stock and approximately $7.4 million of CLC's outstanding Class B preferred stock.
11% Senior Secured Notes
At June 30, 2005, there was approximately $136.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding, including approximately $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes held separate and apart from IDSs. The 11% Senior Secured Notes, which are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2024, are our senior secured obligations and are redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice (i) prior to December 1, 2009, upon payment of a make-whole premium and (ii) on or after December 1, 2009, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first-priority perfected lien, subject to certain permitted liens, on substantially all of our existing and future assets, including the common stock of AWA, the capital stock of CLC and the intercompany note of Coinmach and related guaranty. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CLC.
Interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes accrues at the rate of 11% per annum and is payable quarterly, in arrears, in cash on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, to the holders of record at the close of business on the February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.
The indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to us and our restricted subsidiaries, including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) limitation on additional indebtedness; (ii) limitation on certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on our capital stock, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of our capital stock, the voluntary prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, and certain investments); (iii) limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on liens; (v) limitation on sales of assets; (vi) limitation on the issuance of preferred stock by non-guarantor subsidiaries; (vii) limitation on conduct of business; (viii) limitation on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (ix) limitations on exercising Class B Common Stock redemption rights and consummating purchases of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of sales rights by holders; and (x) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of our assets.
At June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach entered into the Senior Credit Secured Facility, which is comprised of: (i) $280 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans and (ii) a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing limit of $75 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for up to $10 million of letter of credit financings and short-term borrowings under a swing line facility of up to $7.5 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Coinmach's real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of Coinmach's domestic subsidiaries. The interest rate is based on a monthly variable Eurodollar rate plus 2.75%. At June 30, 2005, the monthly variable Eurodollar rate was 3.44%. As a condition to the consummation of the IDS Transactions, Coinmach entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on November 15, 2004, among other things, to permit the IDS Transactions.
Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2005 the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term loans was approximately $239.3 million. The term loans are scheduled to be fully repaid by July 25, 2009.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements, including covenants with respect to limitations on (i) indebtedness; (ii) certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on the capital stock of Coinmach or its subsidiaries or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of the capital stock of Coinmach or its subsidiaries); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility); (v) transactions with affiliates; (vi) liens; (vii) sales or purchases of assets; (viii) conduct of business; (ix) dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (x) consolidations and mergers; (xi) capital expenditures; (xii) issuances of certain of Coinmach's equity securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also requires that Coinmach satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires Coinmach to make an annual mandatory repayment of principal on the outstanding balance of the term loans based on 50% of "excess cash flow," as defined. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the amount required to be repaid was approximately $10.0 million and was paid on July 12, 2005.
On September 23, 2002, Coinmach entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of the floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The three swap agreements consist of: (i) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006, (ii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006 and (iii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.90% and expiring on February 1, 2006. These interest rate swaps used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges. The Company recognized a slight accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section for the three months ended June 30, 2005, relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
At June 30, 2005, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
9% Senior Notes
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach issued $450 million of 9% Senior Notes. Interest on the 9% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 to the holders of record as of the close of business on the January 15 and July 15, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. The 9% Senior Notes, which mature on February 1, 2010, are unsecured senior obligations of Coinmach and are redeemable, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after February 1, 2006, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption. The 9% Senior Notes contain certain financial covenants and restrict the payment of certain dividends, distributions or other payments from Coinmach to Coinmach Laundry. The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Coinmach's domestic subsidiaries.
On December 24, 2004, Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium). At June 30, 2005, there was $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes outstanding.
The indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to Coinmach and its subsidiaries, including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) limitation on additional indebtedness; (ii) limitation on certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on Coinmach's capital stock, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of Coinmach's capital stock, the voluntary prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, and certain investments); (iii) limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on liens; (v) limitation on sales of assets; (vi) limitation on the issuance of preferred stock by non-guarantor subsidiaries; (vii) limitation on conduct of business; (viii) limitation on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and (ix) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of Coinmach's assets.
At June 30, 2005, Coinmach was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes.
The Intercompany Loan
Pursuant to the IDS Transactions, we made an intercompany loan of approximately $81.7 million to Coinmach (the "Intercompany Loan"), which loan is evidenced by an intercompany note. The Intercompany Loan is eliminated in consolidation. Interest under the Intercompany Loan accrues at an annual rate of 10.95% and is payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year and is due and payable in full on December 1, 2024. The Intercompany Loan is a senior unsecured obligation of Coinmach, ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Coinmach (including indebtedness under the 9% Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach. Certain of Coinmach's domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis.
The Intercompany Loan contains covenants (other than a covenant providing for the delivery of reports to holders) that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the 9% Senior Notes (as such covenants may be modified in the future pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes) provided, however, that on the redemption or repayment in full of the 9% Senior Notes, the covenants contained in the Intercompany Loan will become substantially the same as those provided in the terms of such other indebtedness that refinances or replaces the 9% Senior Notes or, in the absence thereof, the terms of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. The Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan by certain of our subsidiaries were pledged by CSC to secure the repayment of the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If at any time Coinmach is not prohibited from doing so under the terms of its then outstanding indebtedness, in the event that CSC undertakes an offering of IDSs or Class A Common Stock, a portion of the net proceeds of such offering, subject to certain limitations, will be loaned to Coinmach and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
If Coinmach merged with or into CSC, the Intercompany Loan would be terminated and Coinmach, as a constituent corporation of the merged companies, would become responsible for the payment obligations relating to the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If an event of default under the Intercompany Loan occurs and is continuing, the Intercompany Loan holder will have the right to declare all obligations under the Intercompany Loan immediately due and payable; provided that if Coinmach shall become the subject of an insolvency, bankruptcy or cross-acceleration event of default, all of the obligations under the Intercompany Loan and the guarantees in respect thereof shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without any action or notice. Any waiver of a default or an event of default under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes that causes a default or an event of default under the Intercompany Loan shall also be a waiver of such default or event of default under the Intercompany Loan without further action or notice.
At June 30, 2005, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Intercompany Loan.
Operating and Investing Activities
We use cash from operating activities to maintain and expand our business. As we have focused on increasing our cash flow from operating activities, we have made significant capital investments, primarily consisting of capital expenditures related to acquisitions, renewals and growth. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize cash flows from operations to finance our capital expenditures and working capital needs.
Capital expenditures (net of proceeds from the sale of equipment) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 were approximately $17.6 million. The primary components of our capital expenditures are (i) machine expenditures, (ii) advance location payments, and (iii) laundry room improvements. Additionally, capital expenditures for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 included approximately $1.5 million attributable to technology upgrades. The full impact on revenues and cash flow generated from capital expended on the net increase in the installed base of machines is not expected to be reflected in our financial results until subsequent reporting periods, depending on certain factors, including the timing of the capital expended. While we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to finance anticipated capital expenditures, there can be no assurances that we will be able to do so.
The following table sets forth our capital expenditures (excluding payments for capital business acquisitions) for the periods indicated (in millions of dollars):

As of June 30, 2005, approximately $239.3 million of our long-term debt outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility term loans was subject to variable rates of interest. Interest expense on these variable rate borrowings for future years was calculated using a weighted average interest rate of 6.19% based on the Eurodollar rate in effect at June 30, 2005. In addition, at June 30, 2005, $324.5 million of our long-term debt outstanding was subject to a fixed interest rate of 9.0% and approximately $136.1 million of our long-term debt outstanding was subject to a fixed interest rate of 11.0%. In addition, in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, Coinmach is a party to three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150.0 million which expire on February 1, 2006. Such agreements effectively convert $150.0 million principal amount of floating rate term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed interest rate of 5.66%. |

Future Capital Needs and Resources
Our near-term cash requirements are primarily related to payment of interest on our existing consolidated indebtedness, capital expenditures, working capital and, if and when declared by our board of directors, dividend payments on our common stock. Substantially all of our consolidated long-term debt is scheduled to mature on or after July 25, 2009, the date on which the remaining balances under the Senior Secured Credit Facility's term loans become due. However, our consolidated level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations including, but not limited to, the following: (i) a significant portion of our cash flow from operations will be required to pay interest on our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our subsidiaries, (ii) the financial covenants contained in certain of the agreements governing such indebtedness will require us and/or our subsidiaries to meet certain financial tests and may limit our respective abilities to borrow additional funds, (iii) our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired and (iv) our ability to adapt to changes in the laundry equipment services industry could be limited.
The most significant factors affecting our near-term cash flow requirements are our ability to generate cash from operations, which is dependent on our ability to attract new and retain existing customers, and our ability to satisfy our debt service and capital expenditures requirements. Considering our anticipated level of capital expenditures, our scheduled interest payments on our consolidated indebtedness, existing contractual obligations, our anticipated dividend payments on our capital stock and subject to the factors described below, we estimate that over the next twelve months cash flow from operations, along with available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating needs, to service our outstanding consolidated indebtedness, and to pay dividends anticipated to be declared by our board of directors.
Other factors, including but not limited to any significant acquisition transactions, the pursuit of any significant new business opportunities, potential material increases in the cost of compliance with regulatory mandates (including state laws imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards on clothes washers), tax treatment of our debt, unforeseen reductions in occupancy levels, changes in our competitive environment, or unexpected costs associated with lease renewals, may affect our ability to fund our liquidity needs in the future. In addition, subject to certain limitations contained in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, commencing May 24, 2005, we may redeem all or part of the then outstanding Class B Common Stock on a pro rata basis. Any exercise by us of such redemption rights will further reduce cash available to fund our liquidity needs.
We intend to annually deduct interest expense on the 11% Senior Secured Notes from taxable income for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. However, if the IRS were successfully to challenge our position that the 11% Senior Secured Notes are debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the cumulative interest expense associated with the 11% Senior Secured Notes would not be deductible from taxable income, and we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. To the extent that any portion of the interest expense is determined not to be deductible, we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. The additional tax due to federal, state and local authorities would be based on our taxable income or loss for each of the respective years that we take the interest expense deduction and would reduce our after-tax cash flow.
Any disallowance of our ability to deduct interest expense could adversely affect our ability to make interest payments on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and dividend payments on the shares of Class A Common Stock represented by the IDSs as well as dividend payments on the Class B Common Stock. Based on our anticipated level of cash requirements, including capital expenditures, scheduled interest and dividend payments, and existing contractual obligations, we estimate that over the next twelve months cash flow from operations, along with the available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating needs and to service our indebtedness even if the interest expense deduction is not allowed.
Arizona, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland have adopted state laws imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards on commercial clothes washers, and other states are considering similar laws. While such laws are not scheduled to go in effect until 2007 or 2008, implementing machines compliant with such laws could result in increased capital costs (including material and equipment costs), labor and installation costs, and in some cases, operation and maintenance costs. Other states in which we operate may adopt similar laws, which would increase our costs associated with compliance.
We continuously monitor our debt position and coordinate our capital expenditure program with expected cash flows and projected interest and dividend payments. However, our actual cash requirements may exceed our current expectations. In the event cash flow is lower than anticipated, we expect to either: (i) reduce capital expenditures, (ii) supplement cash flow from operations with borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or (iii) evaluate other cost-effective funding alternatives. We expect that substantially all of the cash generated by our business in excess of operating needs, debt service obligations and reserves will be distributed to the holders of our common stock. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to finance growth opportunities or unanticipated capital expenditure needs or to fund our operations in the event of a significant business downturn. In addition, we may have to forego growth opportunities or capital expenditures that would otherwise be necessary or desirable if we do not find alternative sources of financing. If sources of liquidity are not available or if we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we might also be required to reduce or eliminate dividends to the extent previously paid or obtain additional sources of funds through capital market transactions, reducing or delaying capital expenditures, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, asset sales or financing from third parties, or a combination thereof. Additional sources of funds may not be available or allowed under the terms of our outstanding indebtedness or that of our subsidiaries or, if available, may not have commercially reasonable terms.
Certain Accounting Treatment
Our depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of advance location payments and amortization of intangibles, which aggregated approximately $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 reduces our net income, but not our cash flow from operations. In accordance with GAAP, a significant amount of the purchase price representing the value of location contracts arising from businesses acquired by us is allocated to "contract rights." Management evaluates the realizability of contract rights balances (if there are indicators of impairment) based upon our forecasted undiscounted cash flows and operating income. Based upon present operations and strategic plans, we believe that no impairment of contract rights has occurred.
Inflation and Seasonality
In general, our laundry operating expenses and general and administrative expenses are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation may be experienced by us in future periods. We believe that such effects will not be material. Our business generally is not seasonal.
Special Note Concerning Forward Looking Statements
This report 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. We intend such forward looking statements, including, without limitation, the statements under "Item 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these provisions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our future financial position, adequacy of available cash resources, common stock dividend policy and anticipated payments, business strategy, competition, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations. These forward-looking statements are usually accompanied by words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "project," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" and similar expressions. The forward looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions.
Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below and in this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on such statements and undertake no obligation to update publicly and forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this report.
Certain factors, including but not limited to those listed below, may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, estimates, projections, forecasts and from past results:
= |
the restrictive debt covenants and other requirements related to our substantial leverage that could restrict our operating flexibility; |
|
|
= |
our ability to continue to renew our lease contracts with property owners and management companies; |
|
|
= |
extended periods of reduced occupancy which could result in reduced revenues and cash flow from operations in certain areas; |
|
|
= |
our ability to compete effectively in a highly competitive and capital intensive industry which is fragmented nationally, with many small, private and family-owned businesses operating throughout all major metropolitan areas; |
|
|
= |
compliance obligations and liabilities under regulatory, judicial and environmental laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, governmental action imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards or other requirements with respect to commercial clothes washers; |
|
|
= |
our ability to maintain borrowing flexibility and to meet our projected and future cash needs, including capital expenditure requirements with respect to maintaining our machine base, given our substantial level of indebtedness, history of net losses and reduced liquidity resulting from any distributions Coinmach may make to us should we elect to pay cash dividends on our common stock; |
|
|
= |
risks associated with expansion of our business through "tuck-ins" and other acquisitions and integration of acquired operations into our existing business; |
|
|
= |
as a holding company, our dependence on cash flow from our operating subsidiaries to make payments under the 11% Senior Secured Notes; |
|
|
= |
the risk of adverse tax consequences should the $116.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes that underlie the IDSs not be respected as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
|
|
= |
risks associated with changes in accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and |
|
|
= |
other factors discussed elsewhere in this report and in our public filings with the SEC. |
Several important factors, in addition to the specific factors discussed in connection with each forward-looking statement individually, could affect our future results or expectations and could cause those results and expectations to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These additional factors include, among other things, future economic, industry, social, competitive and regulatory conditions, demographic trends, financial market conditions, future business decisions and actions of our competitors, suppliers, customers and stockholders and legislative, judicial and other governmental authorities, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. These factors, in some cases, have affected, and in the future, together with other factors, could affect, our ability to implement our business strategy and may cause our future performance and actual results of operations to vary significantly from those contemplated by the statements expressed in this report.
ITEM 3. |
Our principal exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates on our long-term borrowings. Our operating results and cash flow would be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $89.3 million outstanding relating to our variable rate debt portfolio.
Our future earnings, cash flow and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. If market rates of interest on our variable interest rate debt increased by 2.0% (or 200 basis points), our annual interest expense on such variable interest rate debt would increase by approximately $1.8 million, assuming the total amount of variable interest rate debt outstanding was $89.3 million, the balance as of June 30, 2005.
We enter into interest rate swap agreements from time to time to mitigate our exposure to adverse interest rate fluctuations. On September 23, 2002, Coinmach entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The three swap agreements consist of: (i) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006, (ii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006 and (iii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.90% and expiring on February 1, 2006. These interest rate swaps used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges.
Our fixed debt instruments are not generally affected by a change in the market rates of interest, and therefore, such instruments generally do not have an impact on future earnings. However, as fixed rate debt matures, future earnings and cash flows may be impacted by changes in interest rates related to debt acquired to fund repayments under maturing facilities.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and are not exposed to foreign currency exchange risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize, and report information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings within the required time period.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that adverse determinations in any or all such proceedings would have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
