7 MARGO CARIBE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2003 (Unaudited) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation ------------------------------ These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Margo Caribe, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively "the Company"), Margo Nursery Farms, Inc., Margo Landscaping and Design, Inc., Margo Garden Products, Inc., Rain Forest Products Group, Inc., Margo Flora, Inc., Garrochales Construction and Development Corporation and Margo Development Corporation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal accruals) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered. These statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of interim financial statements relies on estimates. Therefore, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Note 2 - Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Condensed Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for doubtful accounts is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing accounts receivable that become uncollectible based on evaluations of collectibility of specific customers and their prior credit experience. In addition, the Company evaluates the prior years experience of the allowance as a whole. 8 Direct and indirect costs that are capitalized as part of inventory of plant material which management estimates cannot be recovered from future sales of plant inventory are charged to cost of sales. Management's determination of the amount of capitalized costs that should be charged to cost of sales is based on historical sales experience and its judgement with respect to the future marketability of the inventory. The Company has a deferred tax asset of $ 673,600, which is partially offset by a valuation allowance of $ 662,200. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term depending on future levels of taxable income. Note 3 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans ------------------------------------------------------ Effective May 2,2003, The Company adopted the Margo Caribe, Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan (the "Restricted Stock Plan"). Under the terms of the Restricted Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is authorized to grant up to 200,000 shares of common stock to officers and other key employees of the Company. The restricted stock grants may be subject to time-based or performance-based restrictions. As of September 30,2003, no awards had been granted under the Restricted Stock Plan. Effective April 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan") to replace the Company's 1988 Stock Benefits Plan (the "1988 Plan"). Outstanding options granted under the previous plan, including all related obligations and commitments, will continue to be honored by the Company. Under the 1998 Plan, the Company's Board of Directors, through a committee, can award options to purchase up to 220,000 shares of common stock (exclusive of outstanding options under the previous plan) to eligible employees at 100% of the fair market value at the time of the grant, except that options granted to persons owning 10% or more of the outstanding common stock carry an exercise price equal to 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The 1998 Plan also provides for the automatic grant of options to purchase 2,750 shares of common stock to each non-employee director on the first business day following every annual meeting of shareholders. Options vest ratably over a period of five years, become exercisable one year from the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations in measuring stock based compensation, including options, which generally require that compensation cost be recognized to the extent the market price of the related stock exceeds the exercise price at the measurement date. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for options granted under either stock option plan. However, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", provides an alternative method for measuring compensation cost by measuring the fair value of the option at the award date. Although the compensation cost measurement criteria is not required to be adopted, SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123", requires prominent disclosure of pro forma information regarding the effects of the application of its compensation cost measurement criteria and of other information. Stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 amounted to 127,050 and 249,700, respectively, at the end of each period. During the nine months ended September 30,2003 and 2002, options to acquire 11,000 and 16,500 shares of common stock were issued at weighted exercise prices of $7.25 and $3.56 per share, respectively. As required under SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, the pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net income (loss) and and net income (loss) per share have been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 9

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, --------------------------------- -------------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- Risk-free interest rate 5.28% 4.63% 5.28% 4.63% Average life of options 10 yrs. 10 yrs. 10 yrs. 10 yrs. Volatility 15.44% 24.06% 65.82% 32.60% Dividend yield 0% 0% 0% 0%

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no restrictions and are fully transferable and negotiable in a free trading market. Black-Scholes does not consider the employment, transfer or vesting restrictions that are inherent in the Company's employee options. Use of an option valuation model, as required by SFAS No. 123, includes highly subjective assumptions based on long-term predictions, including the expected stock price volatility and average life of each option grant. Because the Company's employee options have characteristics significantly different from those of freely traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the Company's estimate of the fair value of those options, in the Company's opinion, the existing valuation models, including Black-Scholes, are not reliable single measures and may misstate the fair value of the Company's employee options. 10 For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is assumed to be amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The pro forma effects of recognizing compensation expense under the fair value method on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share were as follows:

The Company has a 33.33% equity interest in Salinas. The Company also entered into a management agreement with Salinas. Under the Agreement, the Company earns $2,000 per month for management services and from 15% to 17% commission on the sales of Salinas' products. Salinas commenced operations on November 1, 2002. The Company has accounted for its investment in Salinas using the equity method of accounting. At September 30, 2003, and for the nine month period then ended, Salinas' unaudited condensed financial position and results of operations information was as follows: Assets Amount ------ --------- Current assets $1,358,956 Property and equipment 921,414 ---------- $2,280,370 ========== Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity ----------------------------------- Current liabilities $ 730,983 Long-term liabilities 866,667 ---------- Total liabilities $1,597,650 Shareholders' equity 682,720 ---------- $2,280,370 ========== Results of Operations Amount --------------------- ------ Sales $ 487,767 Cost of sales 184,466 ---------- Gross profit $ 303,301 General and administrative expenses $ 152,470 ---------- Net income $ 150,831 ========== At September 30, 2003, the Company's investment in Salinas Holdings, Inc., was as follows: Description Amount ---------------------------- --------- Balance at December 31, 2002 $417,296 Additional investment 160,000 Withdrawal of capital (400,000) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary 50,227 -------- Balance at September 30, 2003 $227,523 ======== 12 Note 7 - Income (loss) per Common Share --------------------------------------- The Company reports its earnings per share (EPS) using Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were determined as follows:

Three Months Nine Months ended September 30, ended September 30, Basic income (loss) per common share 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------------------------------ ------------- ---------- ------------- ----------- Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ (302,720) $ 101,454 $ (379,900) $ 424,889 ============= ========== ============= ========== Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 2,131,894 2,073,239 2,098,833 2,072,539 ============= ========== ============= ========== Basic income(loss)per common share $ (.14) $ .05 $ (.18) $ .21 ============= ========== ============= ========== Diluted income (loss) per common share: --------------------------------------- Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ (302,720) $ 101,454 $ (379,900) $ 424,889 ============= ========== ============= ========== Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 2,131,894 2,073,239 2,098,833 2,072,539 Plus incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options (1) -- 36,480 -- 49,900 ------------- ---------- ------------- ---------- Adjusted weighted average shares 2,131,894 2,109,719 2,098,833 2,122,439 ============= ========== ============= ========== Diluted income (loss) per common share $ (.14) $ .05 $ (.18) $ .20 ============= ========== ============= ========== --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1)For the three and nine month periods ended September 30,2003, the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options determined by using the treasury stock method was anti-dilutive; thus no incremental shares were added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods.

13 Note 8 - Segment Information ---------------------------- The Company reports its segment information pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way an enterprise reports information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief executive decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Statement requires a reconciliation of total segment revenue and expense items and segment assets to the amounts in the enterprise's financial statements. SFAS 131 also requires a descriptive report on how the operating segments were determined, the products and services provided by the operating segments, and any measurement differences used for segment reporting and financial statement reporting. The Company's management monitors and manages the financial performance of three primary business segments: the production and distribution of plants, sales of lawn and garden products and landscaping services. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on net income or loss. The financial information presented below was derived from the Company's accounting system and is based on internal management accounting policies.

There were no income tax payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Note 10 - Major Customers ------------------------- During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company's single largest customer accounted for approximately 39% ($2,546,000) and 28% ($2,022,000), respectively, of the Company's net sales. There were no other customers accounting for 10% or more of the Company's net sales. 16 Note 11 - New Accounting Pronouncements --------------------------------------- In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long lived assets. The Statement superseded SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections". SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt - an amendment of APB Opinion No. 30", which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 "Accounting for Leases", which requires that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This amendment became effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 17 In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS No. 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity, but does not involve an entity newly acquired in a business combination or with a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". SFAS No. 146 does not apply to costs associated with a retirement of long-lived assets covered by SFAS No. 143. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 146 for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations. 18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW -------- Margo Caribe, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are in the business of growing, distributing and installing tropical plants and trees. The Company is also engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of its own line ("Rain Forest") of planting media and aggregates, the distribution of lawn and garden products and also provides landscaping design and installation services. In addition, the Company is acts as sales representative consumer goods brands in Puerto Rico. The Company's real estate development division is currently seeking the required permits for an affordable housing project in the Municipality of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The Company's operations include Margo Caribe, Inc. (the holding company), Margo Nursery Farms, Inc. ("Nursery Farms"), Margo Landscaping & Design, Inc. ("Landscaping"), Margo Garden Products, Inc.

In its Vega Alta facility, Nursery Farms produces various types of palms, flowering and ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, bedding plants and ground covers. Its customers include wholesalers, retailers, chain stores and landscapers primarily located in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Prior to July 1, 2003, the Barranquitas nursery farm (operating as Margo Flora) produced orchids, bromeliads, anthuriums, spathiphylum and pointsethias. This operation was consolidated into the Vega Alta nursery operation effective June 30, 2003. As bona fide agricultural enterprises, both Nursery Farms and Margo Flora enjoy a 90% tax exemption under Puerto Rico law from income derived from their nursery business in Puerto Rico. Margo Landscaping & Design provides landscaping, maintenance and design services to customers in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, including commercial as well as residential landscape design and landscaping. Margo Garden Products is engaged in sales of lawn and garden products, including plastic and terracotta pottery, planting media (soil, peat moss, etc.) and mulch.

Rain Forest's products are marketed by Garden Products. The Company enjoys a tax exemption grant from the Government of Puerto Rico for the manufacturing operations of Rain Forest. Margo Development Corporation and Garrochales Construction and Development Corporation are presently engaged in designing and seeking development permits on a new site for the development of a residential project in the Municipality of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS -------------------- The Company's operations are focused in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ("Puerto Rico"). These operations are conducted at a 92 acre nursery farm in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, approximately 25 miles west of San Juan. This farm is leased from Michael J. Spector and Margaret Spector, who are executive officers and principal shareholders of the Company. Until June 30, 2003, the Company also operated a 13 acre nursery in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. This nursery was leased from an unrelated third party. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with the lessor of the Barranquitas facility to terminate the lease and vacate the facility by June 30, 2003. As a result, the Company has consolidated the Barranquitas operation into its Vega Alta nursery farm (refer to FUTURE OPERATIONS herein). 20 FUTURE OPERATIONS ----------------- The Company will continue to concentrate its economic and managerial resources in expanding and improving its present operations in Puerto Rico. However, the Board of Directors continues to explore new business opportunities inside and outside of Puerto Rico. On October 14, 2002, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nursery Farms, entered into a joint venture to grow sod, palms and trees on a farm of approximately 254 acres located in the Municipality of Salinas, Puerto Rico, operated by Salinas Holdings, Inc. ("Salinas"). The farm is leased by Salinas Holdings, Inc. from an entity controlled by Mr. Alberto Rubi, for an initial 10-year term with renewal options for an additional 20-year period. Salinas is a newly formed entity in which Nursery Farms owns one-third of the outstanding voting stock. The remaining two-thirds are owned in equal parts by Mr. Mark Greene, a former director of the Company, and by Mr. Alberto Rubi. The Company has committed to make equity cash contributions to the new entity of up to $775,000. During the month of September each shareholder received $400,000 as capital returns. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had invested $193,333, net of returns. Salinas has entered into a five year management agreement with Nursery Farms (automatically renewable for an additional five year term unless otherwise elected by either party) whereby Nursery Farms will provide certain management services to the new entity and will be responsible for all sales and marketing activities for the new entity. Under the terms of the management agreement, Nursery Farms will receive a basic administrative fee of $2,000 per month, and a commission on gross collected revenue varying from 15% to 17%. Commissions and fees earned for services provided to Salinas for the nine months ending September 30, 2003 totaled $95,000. During the term of the management agreement, the Company has agreed not to grow sod or to have more than 50 "cuerdas" (a "cuerda" equals approximately 0.97 of an acre) of palms or trees under cultivation on its facilities. The Company is currently not engaged in the business of growing sod. The investment in and results of operations of Salinas are not consolidated with the financial statements of the Company, but instead are reported under the equity method of accounting for investments. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements reflect the Company's proportionate share (33.33%) of the results of operations of Salinas. 21 In order to increase production capacity at its Vega Alta nursery and consolidate Barranquitas' production, the Company has recently completed the construction of a 112,000 square feet shadehouse and a new 124,000 square feet greenhouse. These structures are being constructed with fabricated steel, and include sophisticated irrigation systems. The Company is also constructing a new shipping/receiving area. Upon completion, the loading docks in the new shipping/receiving are will have a capacity to manage 14 trailer-containers at one time. On August 5, 2003 the Company acquired the rights of a sole proprietorship doing business as Global Associates to represent various lines of consumer goods brands for $100,000 in cash and 10,000 shares of common stock in the Company. As part of the transaction, the Company contracted into a one year employment agreement with Tulio Figueroa, the former President of Global Associates; to serve as Senior Vice president of Margo Caribe, Inc The Company is a supplier of plants and lawn and garden products for The Home Depot Puerto Rico ("Home Depot"), the largest mainland retailer of lawn and garden products according to Nursery Retailer magazine. Home Depot currently has eight stores in Puerto Rico and plans to open a new store in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, during the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company also supplies live goods (plant material) and lawn and garden products to Costco Wholesale, which has three stores in Puerto Rico. The Company continues to supply live goods as well as lawn and garden products to Wal*Mart International, which presently has eleven stores (including three "super centers") throughout Puerto Rico and plans to open one more super center during the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company also supplies plant material and lawn and garden products to six Sam's Club stores, a division of Wal*Mart International. The Company also supplies Kmart Corporation in Puerto Rico. Kmart has 24 stores in Puerto Rico and four stores in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Kmart promotes its garden centers' sales with the Company's plant material as well as with lawn and garden products. During December 2000, the Company purchased approximately 109 acres of land in the Municipality of Arecibo, Puerto Rico, for the development of a residential housing project. The Company paid approximately $950,000 plus incidental expenses for this land. The Company is currently in the process of designing a master development plan, as well as seeking the required permits for the development of this site. The Company received an endorsement from the Puerto Rico Housing Bank, which will enable prospective buyers to qualify for government assistance when purchasing homes at this project. However, the Company cannot give any assurance as to how long it will take to obtain the necessary permits to develop the project or whether said permits will in fact be obtained. 22 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS AND THIRD QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 AND 2002 ------------- For a discussion regarding Margo Caribe Inc.'s critical accounting policies, please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", under Item 7 of Margo Caribe, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. NET INCOME/LOSS --------------- During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company had a net loss of approximately $380,000, or $(.18) per share (diluted), compared to a net income of approximately $425,000 for the same period in 2002, or $.20 per share (diluted). For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company had a net loss of approximately $303,000 or $(.14) per share (diluted), compared to net income of approximately $101,000 or $.05 per share (diluted) for the same period in 2002. The net loss for the nine months and the quarter ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the same periods in 2002 is principally due to a decrease in income from operations, offset in part, by an increase in other income. The decrease in income from operations for the period mainly resulted from losses incurred in the landscaping segment. The landscaping segment operational loss was $335,000 for the period ended September 30, 2003 compared to net income of $107,000 for the period ended September 30, 2002. The loss from the landscaping segment is due to a decrease in revenues (and related gross profit) and an increase in bad debt expense of approximately $100,000. Gross revenues from landscaping services were approximately $1,093,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $1,912,000 for the same period in 2002. Also, the decrease in income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 reflects approximately $143,000 of costs associated with closing the Barranquitas nursery operation and the associated consolidation of the Company's nursery facilities at its Vega Alta facility. The increase in other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is principally due to the collection of $25,000 from a note receivable, which had been written down in prior years and, the commissions and equity in earnings from an unconsolidated subsidiary (Salinas Holdings) in the amount of $127,000. Sales ----- The Company's consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were approximately $6,524,000, compared to $7,120,000 for the same period in 2002, representing an overall decrease of approximately 8%. The Company's consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 were approximately $1,873,000, compared to $2,311,000 for the same period in 2002, representing an overall decrease of approximately 19%. The decrease in sales for the period ended September 30, 2003 was principally the result of a reduction in sales of landscaping services of 43% resulting from a decrease in large landscaping projects. Landscaping sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were favorably impacted by three major projects aggregating $619,000. On the other hand, the sales of plant material for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 reflect a slight increase of $14,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. 23 The 19% decrease in consolidated net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was due to a decrease in revenues of approximately 32% and 34% from landscaping segment and nursery segment, respectively. This decrease in sales is associated with the slow development of new residential and commercial real estate projects in Puerto Rico during this period. Although there was an overall decrease in plant material sales, sales of plant material to major chain stores remained strong. Gross Profits ------------- The Company's consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was approximately 34%, compared to 41% for the same period in 2002. Consolidated gross profit for the third quarter of 2003 was approximately 33%, compared to 44% for the same period in 2002. The decrease in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the third quarter of 2003 when compared to the same periods in 2002 was the result of a decrease in gross profit from revenues of the landscaping segment. As of September 30, 2003, the gross profit for the landscaping segment was 18% compared to 37% as of September 30, 2002. For the third quarter of 2003, the gross profit for the landscaping segment was 24% compared to 38% for the third quarter of the prior year. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses -------------------------------------------- Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were approximately $2,621,000 and $2,498,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This represents a 5% increase in dollar terms and a 5% increase as a percentage of sales. SG&A for the third quarter of 2003 were approximately $977,000 compared to $911,000 for the same period in 2002. This represented an 7% increase in dollar terms and a 13% increase as a percentage of sales. The increase in SG&A in dollars term for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the same periods in 2002, is principally due to an increase in the bad debt expense account for the landscaping segment of approximately $100,000. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was also impacted by the decrease in net sales. 24 Costs Related to Consolidating Nursery Facilities ------------------------------------------------- Until June 30, 2003, the Company also operated a 13 acre nursery in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. This nursery was leased from an unrelated third party. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with the lessor of the Barranquitas facility to terminate the lease and vacated the facility by June 30, 2003. As a result, the Company has consolidated the Barranquitas operation into its Vega Alta nursery farm. Costs associated with closing the Barranquitas nursery operation in connection with the consolidation of the Company's nursery facilities in its Vega Alta nursery operation amounted to approximately $143,000 during the nine month ending September 30, 2003. Other Income and Expenses ------------------------- Interest income and expense for the nine months and the quarter ended September 30, 2003 reflects an increase of $154,000 and $58,000 comparable to those of 2002. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 also includes several income sources not present in 2002. Among these were the following: 1) Gain of $25,000 from the collection of a note receivable previously written down in prior years. This represents the remaining portion of a note partially collected in the fourth quarter of 2002 (refer to Note 5 in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002). 2) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary of approximately $50,000 and related commissions of $77,000. The $50,000 represents the Company's 33.33% equity interest in Salinas Holdings Inc.'s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The commissions of $77,000 represents the Company's commissions for the nine months then ended under the terms of the agreement with Salinas Holdings, Inc. 25 FINANCIAL CONDITION ------------------- The Company's financial condition as of September 30, 2003 remains comparable with that of December 31, 2002. The Company's current ratio changed to 1.8 to 1 on September 30, 2003, compared to 2.3 to 1 on December 31, 2002. The .50 decrease in the current ratio is principally due to cash outflows used in investing activities and to the increase in short-term borrowings under the credit facility. On September 30, 2003, the Company had cash of approximately $861,000, compared to cash of $1,418,000 on December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash on September 30, 2003 is principally due to cash outflows used in investing activities, which were primarily related to capital improvements made at the Vega Alta facility. On August 5, 2003, the Company acquired the rights to act as a local sales representative from a local representative, Global Associates,for $100,000. Shareholders' equity on September 30, 2003 decreased due to the net loss for the nine month period then ended, partially offset by the conversion of stock options. No dividends were declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Current Liquidity and Capital Resources --------------------------------------- The nursery industry requires producers to maintain large quantities of stock plants and inventory to meet customer demand and to assure a new source of products in the future. The Company believes it has adequate resources to meet its current and anticipated liquidity and capital requirements. The Company finances its working capital needs from cash flow from operations as well as borrowings under short-term credit facilities with a local commercial bank. As of November 7, 2003, the Company had available a short-term credit facility of $2.5 million, of which approximately $327,000 was available as of such date. This credit facility is secured by the Company's trade accounts receivables and inventories. 26 ITEM 3.
