MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTSManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 firstthird quarter of fiscal 1998 (three months ended May 4, 1997)November 2, 1997 increased by 18%$1,320,000 or 29% to $4,467,000$5,892,000 from $3,775,000$4,572,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 ended October 31, 1996. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $15,804,000 or 24% higher than net sales of $12,758,000 in the first quarternine months of fiscal 1997 (three months ended April 30, 1996).1997. The increase in net sales wasincreases were due to continued strong demand for the continuing growth in the Company'scompany's RedLine data acquisition products sales, which remain the Company's largest product line, led the increase in firstand turnkey services. Third quarter sales this year compared to last year's first quarter. Costcost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 49%45% in this year's first quarter compared toyear from 41% in the first quartersame period last year. The increaseCost of sales as a percentage of net sales also increased to 47% in the first nine months this year compared to 42% in fiscal 1997's first nine months. As anticipated, the increases in cost of sales iswere a result of service-related costs exceedingproduct mix with lower-margin service-related revenues becoming a bigger part of the Company's business. Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by $154,000 to $718,000 in the third quarter this year compared to $564,000 in the same period last year. R&D expenses in the first quarternine months of this year. Research and development expensesyear increased by $82,000 or 17%slightly to $1,826,000 from $1,633,000 in the first quarter this year to $578,000 compared to the same period a year ago.nine months of fiscal 1997. The increaseincreases in expenses isin both the third quarter and the first nine months were primarily due to the continued ramp up of joint new product development with FEV, the Company's strategic ally in Germany and offset by higher capitalization of software development costs associated with new RedLine products scheduled for introduction in this year's first quarter.the Spring of 1998 and beyond. Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 1998 increased by $230,000 or 16%decreased slightly to $1,705,000$1,719,000 from $1,475,000$1,737,000 in the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of this year, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by $170,000 or 3% to $5,029,000 compared to $4,859,000 last year. As a percentage of sales, however, expenses remained atdecreased to 29% from 38% in the 38-39% levelthird quarter and to 32% from 38% in both quarters.the first nine months of this year compared to the respective periods last year. The increase primarily reflectedhigher expenses were principally due to additional sales and marketing and information systems personnel,staff, and higher internal sales commissions due to higher sales and bookings. Net interest income was $40,000 this year compared to $42,000 in the first quarter last year. The effective tax rate computed were 40% for the third quarter and 40% for the first quarternine months this year was 38% compared to 35% in34% for the third quarter and 33% for the first nine months last year's first quarter.year. The Companytax 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 foreign 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 increased by $256,000 during the nine month period ended November 2, 1997. Accounts receivable increased by $3,600,000 brought about by high shipments in the last month of the 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 1998 has been: the purchase of capital equipment used to equip additional personnel and to upgrade our information systems capabilities, and investment in software development. Working capital at November 2, 1997 improved to $7,911,000 compared to $5,726,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratio stood at 2.6 to 1.0 at November 2, 1997 and at 3.0 to 1.0 at January 31, 1997. At 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 November 2, 1997, the Company had no material outstanding commitments to purchase capital equipment. Factors thatThat May Affect Future Results - -------------------------------------- The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors, including: its ability to introduce new products, services and enhancements for its customers as demands for increasingly sophisticated measurement and control systems continue; timing of receipt of major system orders; timing of service revenues; product mix; the Company's ability to timely introduce new products, services and enhancements for its customers and achieve market acceptance as demands for increasingly sophisticated measurement and control systems continue; uncertainties relative to global economic conditions; ability to competeattract and retain for qualified 7 personnel in various technical positions; the Company'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. Management expanded the services side of the Company's transportation market business. These services include systems integration, project management, commissioning and installation. These services are usually coupled with the sale of our RedLine products and has allowed us to pursue further growth in the transportation market by providing "one-stop" or turnkey shopping to our customers. This services business raises several risk factors. Specifically, the success depends on the time it takes for services personnel and future staff to come up to speed on our products, customers and the services they will provide; market acceptance of the services; and the ability to manage customer projects profitably.profitably; the ability to integrate our products with other vendors' products; availability and quality of other vendors' products; and other 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 historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents increased by $230,000 during the quarter ended April 30, 1997, to $1,553,000. The increase was due primarily to cash provided by operating activities. Cash was used in the quarter to: a) purchase equipment for additional personnel, and b) investment in software development. The Company's working capital remained level at approximately $5.7 million compared to January 31, 1997. Current ratio remained strong at 2.7 to 1 at April 30, 1997 from 3.0 to 1.0 at January 31, 1997. At April 30, 1997, the Company has $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 April 30, 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 and financial condition. PART8 Part II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEMItem 6.
