1. Basis of Presentation
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Water Pik Technologies, Inc. ("Water Pik Technologies" or the "Company") is a leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing a broad range of well-recognized personal health care products and pool products and water-heating systems. The Company's products include: showerheads; consumer and professional oral health products; water filtration products; personal stress relief products; swimming pool and spa heaters, electronic controls, valves, pumps, filters and water features; and residential and commercial water-heating systems. Water Pik Technologies operates in two business segmentsthe Personal Health Care segment and the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment.
In December 2002, the Company formalized a plan to dispose of its Ozone product line, a component of the Personal Health Care segment. The Ozone product line includes the Aquia® home sanitizing product introduced in September 2001. The operating results of the discontinued product line have been reported separately as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and the assets and liabilities have been reclassified to other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.
FISCAL YEAR
The Company operates on a 52- or 53- week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31 with fiscal quarters ending on the Sunday nearest to the end of the applicable thirteen-week period. The fiscal quarter and year-to-date periods presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements are presented as of the last day of the calendar quarter for convenience.
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations or stockholders' equity. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2003.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
6
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 requires companies to evaluate variable interest entities to determine whether to apply the consolidation provisions of FIN 46 to those entities. Companies must apply FIN 46 to entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which a company obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which a company holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. Adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.
2. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out ("LIFO") and first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost methods) or market. Inventories consist of the following:

Inventories determined using the LIFO cost method were $35,454,000 at June 30, 2003 and $30,960,000 at December 31, 2002, net of the respective LIFO reserves. The remainder of inventory was determined using the FIFO cost method.
3. Acquisition
On June 2, 2003, as part of its strategic objective to accelerate sales and profit growth in its pool business through development of a more comprehensive package of pool equipment and accessories, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Air Energy Heat Pumps, Inc. and affiliates ("Air Energy"), a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida manufacturer of premium branded heat pumps for swimming pools and spas. The purchase price totaled $8,506,000 (including direct acquisition costs and estimated additional contingent payments based on future performance) with payment consisting of $7,703,000 in cash and an additional payment due upon completion of the contingency period. The final purchase price is subject to calendar year 2003 financial performance and other measurements. The allocation of the purchase price to acquired net assets resulted in $6,696,000 in goodwill, $120,000 in identifiable intangible assets with estimated three-year lives, $2,984,000 of current assets (primarily accounts receivable and inventory), $819,000 in property, plant and equipment and $2,113,000 in assumed liabilities. The goodwill was assigned to the Pool Product and Heating Systems segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations of Air Energy are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations beginning June 2, 2003.

Long-term debt | $ | 36,290 | $ | 40,876 | |||
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges to lock in the interest rate on borrowings and therefore achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed-rate debt. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding two interest rate swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $7,717,000 and $8,747,000, respectively, expiring on January 1, 2007. The changes in their fair values resulted in a loss of $5,000 and a gain of $15,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and losses of $183,000 and $225,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, which have been recognized in accumulated comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity. The counterparty to these interest rate swap agreements is a major financial institution. The Company continually monitors the credit quality of the financial institution and anticipates full performance by the counterparty.
The revolving credit facility, Canadian revolving credit facility and the real estate loan agreement and related mortgage notes require the Company to be in compliance with specific financial and non-financial covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2003.
5. Stock Option Fair Value Disclosure
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148, but applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost for its stock option plans based on the fair value at the grant dates, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and net income per common share would have been as follows:

For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized ratably over the options' vesting period. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

7. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the 2003 and 2002 interim periods was computed in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, "Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods," and was based on projections of total year pretax income in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The effective income tax rate attributable to continuing operations was 36.5 percent and 36.4 percent for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to 37.5 percent for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
WARRANTIES
The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Company generally warrants its products for a period of one to five years. Factors considered in determining appropriate accruals for product warranty obligations include size of the installed base of products subject to warranty protection, historical warranty claim rates, historical cost-per claim, and knowledge of specific product failures that are outside the Company's typical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its preexisting warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary based on actual experience and changes in future expectations.
Information on changes in the Company's accrued warranties and related costs are as follows:

INSURANCE RESERVES AND LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
A number of lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its business, including those pertaining to product liability, personal injury,
9
patent infringement, commercial, employment and employee benefits. While the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for that period and ultimately could affect the Company's insurance premiums or its ability to obtain insurance coverage.
As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company is subject to continuing risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial monetary damages. The Company is party to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits and claims relating to its products and other litigation incidental to its business. The Company has general liability, product liability and workers' compensation insurance coverage. The Company's insurance coverage provides that the Company is responsible for policy deductibles and legal costs and expenses. Loss accruals have been recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies" to cover the portion of general liability, product liability and workers' compensation claims, both asserted claims and incurred but not reported claims, that are not covered by insurance policies. Such accruals are based on estimates which include information provided by the Company's insurance company, claims adjusters and insurance broker, taking into account prior experience, numbers of claims, discussions with legal counsel and other relevant factors. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting accrual are reviewed on a regular basis and any adjustments are reflected in current operating results.
The Company has recorded loss accruals covering the portion of lawsuits and claims not covered by insurance policies of $4,460,000 and $6,066,000 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The amount related to product and general liability lawsuits, asserted claims and incurred but not reported claims was $3,194,000 and $4,904,000 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The amount related to workers' compensation asserted claims and incurred but not reported claims was $1,266,000 and $1,162,000 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
9. Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and outstanding stock options using the "treasury stock" method.
A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding, used to calculate basic net income per common share, to weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution, used to calculate diluted net income per common share, is as follows:

ITEM 2MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained in this report, which are not historical fact, may be considered forward-looking statements, and the Company relies upon the "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements provided by Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, including, among others, its ability to develop new products and execute its growth strategy, the uncertainty of new product testing and regulatory approvals, the uncertainty that its marketing efforts will achieve the desired results with respect to existing or new products, its dependence on key customers, the seasonal nature of its businesses, the impact on consumer confidence and consumer spending as a result of acts of terrorism and war, the impact of a slowing consumer economy, the effect of product liability claims, risks associated with using foreign suppliers and failure to protect its intellectual properties. All forward-looking statements in this report and subsequent written or oral statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing factors.
Overview of Business
Water Pik Technologies is a leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing a broad range of well-recognized personal health care products, swimming pool products and water-heating products. We operate in two business segments: the Personal Health Care segment and the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment. The Personal Health Care segment designs, manufactures and markets personal health care products including showerheads, consumer and professional oral health products, water filtration products and personal stress relief products. The Pool Products and Heating Systems segment designs, manufactures and markets swimming pool and spa heaters, electronic controls, valves, pumps, filters, water features and residential and commercial water-heating systems.
On June 2, 2003, as part of our strategic objective to accelerate sales and profit growth in our pool business through development of a more comprehensive package of pool equipment and accessories, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Air Energy Heat Pumps, Inc. and affiliates ("Air Energy"), a Ft. Lauderdale, Florida manufacturer of premium branded heat pumps for swimming pools and spas. The results of operations of Air Energy are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations beginning June 2, 2003.
In December 2002, we formalized a plan to dispose of our Ozone product line, a component of the Personal Health Care segment. The Ozone product line includes the Aquia home sanitizing product introduced in September 2001. We have decided that the promotional investment necessary to create the market for consumer products based on this technology is significantly greater than the available resources. We expect that disposition through the sale of the Ozone product line will be completed by December 2003. The operating results of the discontinued product line have been reported separately as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and the assets and liabilities have been reclassified to other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." All discussions and amounts herein for all periods presented relate to continuing operations only unless otherwise noted. As such, the discussions related to prior years have been modified to reflect information on continuing operations only.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses Water Pik Technologies' consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
In "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, we have discussed those policies that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. Since the date of that Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions applied under them.

The results of operations classified as discontinued are excluded from the following discussions of our consolidated and Personal Health Care segment operating results.
Three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $76,496,000, representing an increase of $4,061,000 or 5.6 percent over the comparable period in 2002 due to increases of $1,345,000 in Personal Health Care segment sales and $2,716,000 in Pool Products and Heating Systems segment sales. The increase in Pool Product and Heating System segment sales includes $506,000 in heat pump sales related to the acquisition of Air Energy.
Gross profit (sales less cost of sales) was consistent at $24,151,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $24,124,000 for the same period in 2002. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to 31.6 percent compared with 33.3 percent for the same period in 2002. The decline in gross profit is due primarily to a less profitable product mix
13
and increased sales incentives in the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment partially offset by an improvement in gross profit as a percent of sales in the Personal Health Care segment.
Operating income (gross profit less selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses) decreased $676,000 to $6,544,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $7,220,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating income is due primarily to $319,000 in increased selling expenses and $519,000 in increased general and administrative expenses partially offset by decreased research and development expenses. The increase in selling expenses is due primarily to increased advertising costs in the Personal Health Care segment. The increase in general and administrative expenses is due to general increases in costs including higher insurance and employee-related costs.
Interest expense, which relates to borrowings under credit facilities and to promissory and mortgage notes payable, decreased $51,000 to $560,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $611,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is due primarily to a lower weighted average interest rate on lower average borrowings during second quarter 2003 as compared with the same period in 2002.
Six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $131,885,000, representing an increase of $2,491,000 or 1.9 percent over the comparable period in 2002, due to increases of $634,000 in Personal Health Care segment sales and $1,857,000 in Pool Products and Heating Systems segment sales. The increase in Pool Product and Heating System segment sales includes $506,000 in heat pump sales related to the acquisition of Air Energy.
Gross profit decreased $2,110,000 to $39,445,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $41,555,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due to a decrease of $2,862,000 in the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment partially offset by an increase of $752,000 in the Personal Health Care Segment. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to 29.9 percent from 32.1 percent for the same period in 2002. This decrease is due primarily to a less profitable product mix, increased sales incentives and higher production costs including expenses related to new products in the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment. This was partially offset by an improvement in gross profit as a percent of sales in the Personal Health Care segment.
Operating income decreased $4,162,000 to $4,127,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $8,289,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating income is due to the decrease in gross profit as discussed above and to an increase in operating expenses of $2,052,000. The increase in operating expenses consisted of increases of $1,353,000 in selling expenses due to increased advertising in the Personal Health Care segment, $454,000 in general and administrative expenses and $245,000 in research and development expenses.
Interest expense decreased $196,000 to $1,099,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $1,295,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease is due to lower weighted average interest rate on lower average borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared with the same period of 2002.

The increase in gross profit and gross profit as a percent of sales was due primarily to increased sales, lower allowances and lower production costs resulting from cost reduction programs.
Operating income increased $571,000 to $2,278,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $1,707,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 7.6 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 6.0 percent for the same period in 2002.

Sales of oral health products decreased $176,000 to $23,526,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due to lower sales of professional dental products partially offset by increased consumer oral health product sales including sales of the Waterpik® flosser and sales of the new SynchroSonic toothbrush introduced in September 2002. Sales for the other products category decreased $522,000 to $4,322,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due primarily to decreased sales of water filtration products partially offset by increased sales of foot spas.

Three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002
Sales in the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $46,703,000 an increase of $2,716,000 or 6.2 percent over the comparable period in 2002. Sales for the pool product category increased $3,223,000 to $39,528,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 due to increases across most product lines including $506,000 in heat pump sales from the June 2, 2003 acquisition of Air Energy. Water-heating system sales decreased $507,000 to $7,175,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from the same period in 2002 due to lower residential heating product sales reflective of the overall decline in the residential hydronic heating market.
Gross profit decreased $1,205,000 to $11,871,000 or 25.4 percent of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $13,076,000 or 29.7 percent of sales for the same period in 2002. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to a less profitable product mix, to increased sales incentives and to increased warranty costs.
Operating income decreased $1,247,000 to $4,266,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $5,513,000 for the comparable period of 2002. The decrease in operating income is due primarily to the lower gross profit as previously described and to increased research and development expenses related to new product development activities.
Six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002
Sales in the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment were $74,314,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $1,857,000 or 2.6 percent over the comparable period of 2002. Sales for the pool product category increased $2,371,000 to $58,992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 due primarily to increased sales of pumps and filters and to $506,000 in heat pump sales from the acquisition of Air Energy. Water-heating system sales decreased $514,000 to $15,322,000 for
16
the six months ended June 30, 2003 from the same period in 2002 due to lower residential heating product sales reflective of the overall decline in the residential hydronic heating market.
Gross profit decreased $2,862,000 to $16,016,000 or 21.6 percent or sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $18,878,000 or 26.1 percent of sales for the same period in 2002 due primarily to a less profitable product mix, to increased sales incentives and to higher production costs including expenses related to new products.
Operating income decreased $3,581,000 to $456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $4,037,000 for the comparable period of 2002. The decrease in operating income was due primarily to the $2,862,000 decrease in gross profit, as previously described, and to increased research and development expenses related to new product development activities.
Seasonality
Our business is highly seasonal, with operating results varying from quarter to quarter. The Personal Health Care segment has historically experienced higher sales in the fourth quarter of each year due to stronger retail demand during the holiday season. The Pool Products and Heating Systems segment has historically experienced higher sales in the second and fourth quarters of each year as customers purchase such products in preparation for the cooler weather and in anticipation of the warm spring and summer months. In addition, as a result of the seasonality of product demand, the Pool Products and Heating Systems segment offers incentive programs and extended payment terms to encourage pool product customers to purchase products generally during the fourth quarter, as is consistent with industry practice. Seasonal variations in operating results can also occur due to short-term trends such as changes in the economic environment and weather patterns.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Our principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs and capital expenditures and to meet required debt payments. We anticipate that our operating cash flow, together with available borrowings under the credit facilities described below, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures and make scheduled principal and interest payments on our debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, a decrease in demand for our products or deterioration in our financial ratios under our credit facilities could adversely affect our liquidity.
Cash decreased $179,000 from $1,038,000 at December 31, 2002 to $859,000 at June 30, 2003. Cash provided by operating activities of $15,906,000 related to continuing operations was used to fund $7,703,000 of the Air Energy acquisition, to fund capital expenditures of $2,569,000, to repay borrowings under revolving credit facilities of $3,884,000 and to make scheduled payments on promissory notes and capital leases of $1,912,000.
Net cash provided by operations for second quarter 2003 results primarily from net income adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense and from collections on accounts receivable balances that are seasonally higher at year-end. This was partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities and an increase in inventory. The decrease in accrued liabilities is due primarily to the payment during first quarter 2003 of customer incentive programs, bonuses and commissions accrued for in 2002. The increase in inventory is due primarily to the build-up of inventory in preparation for seasonally strong sales in the fourth quarter as well as to new product inventory including Pool Products new pump and filter line.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations of $17,704,000 was used to repay borrowings under revolving credit facilities of $12,004,000, to make scheduled payments on promissory notes and capital leases of $997,000 and to fund capital expenditures of $3,520,000.
17
Our working capital was $62,722,000 at June 30, 2003 as compared to $70,359,000 at December 31, 2002. The decrease in working capital is due to the decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by the increase in inventory and decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and current portion of long-term debt. These fluctuations are reflective of the seasonality of our business. The current ratio increased to 2.4 at June 30, 2003 from 2.3 at December 31, 2002.
We have general liability, product liability and workers' compensation insurance programs. Insurance coverage under these programs is subject to policy deductibles for which we are at risk for losses. The actual settlements or other resolution of claims under these insurance programs may differ from estimated reserves, however, the possible range of loss in excess of those accrued is not reasonably estimable. Based upon currently available information, we do not believe that resolution of any pending insurance claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period and ultimately could affect the cost of our insurance premiums or our ability to obtain insurance coverage.
We have a $60,000,000 revolving bank credit facility that expires in November 2004. Borrowings under the facility are limited to borrowing base calculations based upon eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. The credit facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to the borrowing base less the outstanding line of credit, not to exceed $10,000,000. At June 30, 2003, there were $9,009,000 in borrowings and $7,698,000 in letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility with $22,991,000 of borrowing availability remaining under borrowing base limitations of the credit facility.
Our Canadian subsidiary has a CDN. $11,000,000 revolving bank line of credit facility, increasing by CDN. $1,000,000 for certain months of the year, a forward exchange contract facility of up to CDN. $2,000,000 and a letter of credit facility of up to CDN. $500,000. Borrowings under the facility are due on demand. At June 30, 2003, there were no borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility with CDN. $11,000,000 (US $8,015,000) of borrowing availability remaining under borrowing base limitations of the credit facility.
On October 22, 2001, we entered into a real estate financing agreement with a bank and mortgaged our four U.S. manufacturing facilities to secure four promissory notes totaling $20,590,000. The notes require monthly payments of approximately $69,000 plus accrued interest through August 2008 with a final principal payment of $14,893,000 and accrued interest due on September 30, 2008. The balance outstanding at June 30, 2003 was $19,217,000.
On December 21, 2001, we entered into a $15,000,000 equipment financing agreement with a bank. Initial borrowings under the agreement of $10,290,000 were funded on December 28, 2001 and are evidenced by two term notes secured by specific machinery and equipment located at our manufacturing facilities. The notes require quarterly payments of $514,500 plus accrued interest beginning on April 1, 2002 with all unpaid principal balances and accrued interest due on January 1, 2007. In January 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the variable rate interest on the $10,290,000 promissory notes payable to a fixed rate of 6.73 percent. The interest rate swap expires on January 1, 2007. Interest differentials to be paid or received because of the swap agreements are reflected as an adjustment to interest expense over the related period that the debt is outstanding. On September 30, 2002, we borrowed an additional $4,500,000 under the equipment financing agreement evidenced by two term notes secured by specific machinery and equipment located at our manufacturing facilities and at certain vendors' facilities. The notes require quarterly payments of $225,000 beginning on December 29, 2002 with all unpaid principal balances and accrued interest due on September 30, 2007. The balance outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 2003 was $11,768,000. No additional amounts can be borrowed under this agreement.

Our revolving credit facilities and mortgage notes require us or our subsidiaries to comply with various financial covenants and restrictions, including covenants and restrictions relating to indebtedness, liens, investments, dividend payments, consolidated net worth, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage, capital expenditures and the relationship of our total consolidated indebtedness to our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. A security interest in substantially all of our assets was granted as collateral to the lenders under the credit agreements. To the extent that we are not able to comply with the financial covenants, we may be unable to borrow additional amounts and outstanding amounts may become due on an accelerated basis, which would adversely affect our liquidity.
Due to the seasonality of our pool products business, the extended payment term receivables offered during the fall and winter months are collected during the spring and summer. This creates a seasonal peak in borrowing levels during the spring months.
We currently anticipate that no cash dividends will be paid on our Common Stock in order to conserve cash to fund our future operations and growth. In addition, the terms of our credit facilities prohibit us from paying dividends.
As of June 30, 2003, there were no material changes in our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Financial Condition and Liquidity" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
