======= ======= ======= ====== ========
For the second quarter of 1999, field service costs decreased $8.6 million, or
30.5%, to $19.6 million, as compared to $28.2 million in the second quarter of
1998. Field service costs are comprised principally of field labor and related
costs and overhead expenses required to provide services to both shared and
dedicated service clients.
As a percentage of net revenues, field service costs in the second quarter of
1999 increased to 92.5% from 83.2% in the same period last year. The increase
in field service costs as a percentage of net revenues in the second quarter of
1999 was due primarily to the fixed cost component of field service costs.
However, total field service costs decreased by $8.6 million due to both
declining net revenues and more efficient variable field deployment.
For the quarter ended July 2, 1999, selling expenses decreased $1.0 million, or
47.6%, to $1.1 million compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year.
This decrease in costs was a result of a reduction in salaries and related
expenses resulting from a reduction in personnel. As a percentage of net
revenues, selling expenses decreased to 5.2% in the second quarter of 1999,
compared to 6.2% in the second quarter of 1998.
General and administrative expenses decreased 20.6% in the second quarter of
1999 to $2.7 million, compared to $3.4 million in the same period of 1998. The
decrease in general and administrative costs was due primarily to incentive
liabilities recorded in the first two quarters of 1998 and salary and wage staff
reductions during the quarter ended July 2, 1999. This decrease was partially
offset by a charge for pre-merger transaction costs of $0.9 million.
OTHER INCOME
- -------------
Interest income decreased in the second quarter of 1999, as compared to the
second quarter of 1998, due to lower cash balances available for investment in
1999.
Interest expense increased in the second quarter of 1999 due to borrowing on the
bank revolving line of credit.
