Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - ------------- This section of the report contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company's expected growth and enhanced future performance. All forward- looking statements are subject to risk and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors which are set forth below. Results of Operations - --------------------- Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 19971998 ended October 31, 1996November 2, 1997 increased by $357,000$1,320,000 or 8%29% to $4,572,000$5,892,000 from $4,215,000$4,572,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 ended October 31, 1995.1996. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 19971998 were $12,758,000$15,804,000 or 16%24% higher than net sales of $11,028,000$12,758,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1996.1997. The increases were due to continued strong demand for the company's RedLine test cell products. Sales growth in the thirddata acquisition products and turnkey services. Third quarter was limited by delays in the receipt of certain expected orders, coupled with a vendor's delay in the delivery of necessary components. Costcost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 41%45% in this year's third quarteryear from 39%41% in the same period last year. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales also increased to 42%47% in the first nine months this year compared to 38%42% in fiscal 1997's first nine months. As anticipated, the same periodincreases in cost of fiscal 1996. The increases primarily reflect the expansionsales were a result of product mix with lower-margin service-related revenues becoming a bigger part of the service staff to increase the company's capacity to build, install and commission RedLine products. These new personnel were brought on-board ahead of time to support expected growth in this area.Company's business. Research and development ("R&D") expenses decreasedincreased by $57,000$154,000 to $564,000$718,000 in the third quarter this year compared to $621,000$564,000 in the same period last year whileyear. R&D expenses in the first nine months of this year increased slightly to $1,633,000$1,826,000 from $1,623,000$1,633,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1996.1997. The slight increaseincreases in expenses in both the third quarter and the first nine months resultedwere primarily from the ramp up of joint new product development with FEV, the Company's strategic ally in Germany and offset bydue to higher capitalization of software development costs associated with new RedLine products scheduled for introduction in this year's first nine months.the Spring of 1998 and beyond. Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased by $380,000 or 28%1998 decreased slightly to $1,719,000 from $1,737,000 compared toin the same period a year ago. Expenses inquarter last year. For the first nine months of this year, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by $941,000$170,000 or 3% to $5,029,000 compared to $4,859,000 from $3,918,000 last year. As a percentage of sales, however, expenses remained consistent throughout the year atdecreased to 29% from 38% compared with last year's expenses at 32% in the third quarter and 36%to 32% from 38% in the first nine months.months of this year compared to the respective periods last year. The higher expenses were principally due to additional sales and marketing staff, costs associated with improvements in the company's information technology infrastructure and higher internal sales commissions due to higher sales bookings. Net interest income was $13,000 in this year'sThe effective tax rate computed were 40% for the third quarter compared to $32,000 last year. Net interest incomeand 40% for the first nine months this year was the same as last year's at $95,000. The lower interest income in the third quarter this year reflect lower available cash invested in interest-bearing accounts. The effective tax rate computed werecompared to 34% for the third quarter and 33% for the first nine months this year compared to 39% for the third quarter and first nine months last year. The lower tax rates computed depend primarily on the profit contribution mix between the Company's U.S. operations and U.K. subsidiary. The higher rates this year reflect higher domestic profit contribution this year versus last year. Domestic tax rates tend to be higher than the increased profit contributions of the company's UK subsidiary which benefits from a lowerforeign subsidiary's tax rate. Other factors that may affect the tax rates include R&D tax credits and software capitalization levels. The company reviews the tax rate quarterly and could make minor adjustments to reflect changing estimates. 7 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash decreasedincreased by $1,117,000$256,000 during the nine month period ended October 31, 1996. The decrease was due to the increase in accountsNovember 2, 1997. Accounts receivable increased by $3,600,000 brought about by high shipments in the last month of the period.period and the inclusion of approximately $1,833,000 in customer advanced deposit commitments. The primary use of the Company's cash in the first nine months of fiscal 19971998 has been: a) the purchase of capital equipment used to equip additional personnel and to upgrade our information systems capabilities, and b) investment in software development. Working capital at October 31, 1996November 2, 1997 improved to $5,533,000$7,911,000 compared to $5,472,000$5,726,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratio stood at 3.12.6 to 1.0 at October 31, 1996November 2, 1997 and at 3.23.0 to 1.0 at January 31, 1996.1997. At October 31, 1996,November 2, 1997, the Company has a $1,000,000 secured bank line of credit. The Company currently anticipates that internally generated funds and bank borrowings will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated operating and capital needs over the foreseeable future. At October 31, 1996,November 2, 1997, the Company had no material outstanding commitments to purchase capital equipment. Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations or financial condition. Factors That May Affect Future Results - -------------------------------------- The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors, including: itstiming of receipt of major system orders; timing of service revenues; product mix; the Company's ability to successfullytimely introduce new products, services and enhancements for its customers and achieve market acceptance as demands for increasingly sophisticated measurement and control systems and turnkey solutions continue; timing of receipt of major system orders; product mix; uncertainties relative to global economic conditions; ability to attract and retain for qualified personnel in various technical positions; the company'sCompany's ability to withstand competition particularly from several companies that are much larger in size than the Company; international currency fluctuations; natural disasters, particularly earthquakes which may strike the California area where the Company's headquarters and manufacturing facility are located; and availability and cost of components for its products. At the end of last fiscal year, management made a strategic decision to focus onManagement expanded the services side of ourthe Company's transportation market business. These services include systems integration, project management, commissioning and installation andinstallation. These services are usually coupled with the sale of our RedLine products will allowand has allowed us to fuel ourpursue further growth in the transportation market by providing one stop"one-stop" or turnkey shopping to our customers. TheseThis services provide us the capability to provide turnkey systems where they are required. Hence, we have invested in system integration, installation and commissioning staff during the first half of the year. However, the introduction of these servicesbusiness raises several risk factors. Specifically, the success depends on the time it takes for theseservices personnel and future staff to come up to speed on our products, customers and the services they will provide; market acceptance of the servicesservices; the ability to manage customer projects profitably; the ability to integrate our products with other vendors' products; availability and pricing;quality of other vendors' products; and efficientother scheduling and delivery risks. Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use of these resources.historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. 8 Part II.
