provisions of SFAS 128.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
TGC Industries, Inc. ("TGC") reported revenues increased to $5,536,737 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998, from $4,166,333 for the same period of
the prior year. Net income, before dividend requirements on preferred stock
increased to $957,825, compared with net income, before dividend requirements
on preferred stock, of $310,352 for the same period of the prior year. Income
per common share, on a diluted basis, was $.07 for the third quarter of 1998,
as compared with income of $.02 per common share for the same period of 1997.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, revenues increased to
$15,376,804 from $11,647,356 for the same period of the prior year. Net
income, for the first nine months of 1998, before dividend requirements on
preferred stock, increased to $2,048,384, compared with net income, before
dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $721,242 for the same period of
the prior year. Income per common share, on a diluted basis, was $.14 for the
first nine months of 1998, as compared with income of $.05 per common share
for the same period of 1997.
TGC's cost of services, as a percentage of revenue, were 76.5% for the third
quarter of 1998, compared to 86.4% for the same period of 1997. Selling,
general and administrative expense, as a percentage of revenue, was 5.2% for
the third quarter of 1998 and 1997 respectively. Interest expense increased
by $17,812 in the third quarter of 1998 when compared with the same period of
1997. This increase was primarily a result of the financing of additional
geophysical equipment in the second half of 1997.
TGC's cost of services, as a percentage of revenue, were 80% for the first
nine months of 1998, compared to 86.9% for the same period of 1997. Selling,
general and administrative expense, as a percentage of revenue, was 5.4% for
the first nine months of 1998, compared to 5.8% for the same period of 1997.
Interest expense increased by $69,558 in the first nine months of 1998, when
compared with the same period of the prior year. This increase was
principally attributable to the financing of additional geophysical equipment
in the second half of 1997.
Non-cash charges for depreciation were $1,297,335 in the first nine months of
1998 compared with $929,798 for the same period of 1997.
At December 31, 1997, TGC had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $4,400,000 available to offset future taxable income, which
expire at various dates through 2012.
TGC operates two land seismic crews primarily conducting Three-D ("3-D")
seismic surveys for clients in the oil and gas business. Oil and gas prices
(principally oil prices) have declined significantly during 1998. As a result,
related service industries have been negatively impacted. Many oil and gas
exploration projects have been put on hold, canceled, or postponed until
favorable prices return. The Company's nine month financial results are at
record levels, but unsettled pricing conditions in the Oil and Gas Industry
will negatively impact results for the fourth quarter of 1998 and are expected
to continue into early 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash of $2,297,181 was provided from operations for the first nine months of
1998 compared with cash provided from operations of $1,213,674 for the same
period of 1997. The funds generated in the first nine months of 1998 were
primarily attributable to net earnings before non-cash depreciation charges.
Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 1998 was
primarily for the replacement of equipment in the amount of $385,289. Cash
used in financing activities for the first nine months of 1998 was primarily
for principal payments of debt obligations in the amount of $997,446, and
dividend payments on preferred stock of $225,870.
Working capital deficit decreased $1,640,126 to $607,761 from the December 31,
1997 balance of $2,247,887. The Company's current ratio was .76 to 1.0 at
September 30, 1998, compared with .57 to 1.0 at December 31, 1997.
Stockholders equity increased $1,840,514 from the December 31, 1997 balance of
$3,729,993 to $5,570,507 at September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily
attributable to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, of
$2,048,384.
During the fourth quarter of 1997, to support future growth of the Company, a
$1,000,000 revolving bank line of credit was secured from a major bank. The
line of credit bears interest at prime plus 1.5%, is collateralized by
equipment and accounts receivable and requires the maintenance of certain
financial ratios.
The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of the year 2000 on the
ability of the Company's computerized information systems to accurately
process information that may be date-sensitive. The Company utilizes a number
of computer programs across its entire operation. None of these computer
programs have been custom written for the Company. The Company is completing
its assessment, but currently believes that costs of addressing this issue
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position.
The Company anticipates that available funds, together with anticipated cash
flows generated from future operations and amounts available under its
revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs.
The Company has been notified by Nasdaq of potential delisting of the
Company's Common Stock due to having failed to equal or exceed the minimum bid
price requirement of $1.00 per share for thirty consecutive trading days. The
Company, as a condition to continued listing of its securities on the SmallCap
Market, must satisfy the minimum bid price requirement. On September 3, 1998,
the Company filed a Proxy Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to a special meeting of its shareholders to be held on
November 5, 1998, to approve a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company's
Common Stock. The record date for the special meeting was September 22, 1998,
and the Proxy Statements were mailed to shareholders on September 24, 1998.
The Company is confident that the shareholders will approve the 1-for-3
reverse stock split of its Common Stock. The Company's Board of Directors
believes that the reverse stock split, which will cause the price of the
Common Stock to increase, will satisfy the minimum bid price requirement. On
October 26, 1998, Nasdaq informed the Company of the determination of the
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel following a written hearing on October 23,
1998, to continue the listing of the Company's securities provided that the
Company effect its 1-for-3 reverse stock split on or before November 11, 1998,
and thereafter evidence a closing bid price for its Common Stock that meets or
exceeds $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. The
Company believes that it can meet these conditions. As stated above, the
Company is confident that the shareholders will approve the 1-for-3 reverse
stock split of its Common Stock at the special meeting on November 5, 1998,
and the Company intends to effect the reverse stock split effective with the
close of business on Friday, November 6, 1998, and for the Common Stock to
commence trading on a post-reverse split basis on Monday, November 9, 1998.
This report contains forward-looking statements which reflect the view of
Company's management with respect to future events. Although management
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to
have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from such expectations are disclosed in the Company's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, and include, without limitation,
the unpredictable nature of forecasting weather, the potential for contract
delay or cancellation, and the potential for fluctuations in oil and gas
prices. The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect the current
views of the Company's management and the Company assumes no obligation to
update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results
could differ from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
