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 thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 19981999 ended NovemberAugust 2, 19971998 increased by $1,320,000 or 29%6% to $5,892,000$5,792,000 from $4,572,000$5,445,000 in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 19961997 ended October 31, 1996.August 3, 1997. Net sales for the first ninesix months of fiscal 19981999 were $15,804,000$11,311,000 or 24%14% higher than net sales of $12,758,000$9,912,000 in the first ninesix months of fiscal 1997.1998. The increases were due to continued strong demand for the company's RedLine data acquisition productshigher shipments across all product lines and turnkeycustom services. Third quarter cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 45% in this year from 41% in the same period last year. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales also increased to 47%remained in the first nine months this year compared to 42% in fiscal 1997's first nine months. As anticipated,47%-48% range for all the increases inperiods being reported. The Company's overall cost of sales were a result ofpercentage is subject to change due to various factors, including variation in product mix, with lower-margin service-related revenues becoming a bigger partchanges in component costs and timing of the Company's business.custom service revenues. Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by $154,000$67,000 to $718,000$597,000 in the thirdsecond quarter this year compared to $564,000$530,000 in the same period last year. R&Dyear while expenses in the first nine monthshalf of this year increased slightlyby $82,000 to $1,826,000$1,190,000 from $1,633,000$1,108,000 in the first nine monthshalf of fiscal 1997.1998. The increases were due primarily to addition of engineering personnel to develop new products. These expenses have resulted in several new product introductions so far, this year. As a percentage of net sales, however, research and development expenses remained at about 11% for all the periods being reported The Company anticipates expenses to continue to increase in both the third quarterdollars as it adds personnel and the first nine months were primarily due to higher development costs associated with new RedLine products scheduled for introduction in the Springprojects. However, it is expected that research and development expenses will remain at approximately 11% of 1998 and beyond.net sales. Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased slightly1999 increased by 14% to $1,719,000 from $1,737,000$1,837,000 compared to the same period a year ago. Expenses in the same quarter last year. For the first ninesix months of this year marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by $170,000 or 3%15% to $5,029,000 compared to $4,859,000$3,792,000 from $3,310,000 last year. As a percentage of sales however, expenses decreased to 29% from 38% in the third quarter andincreased to 32% from 38%29% in the second quarter this year and to 34% from 33% in the first nine monthshalf of this year compared to the respective periods last year. The higher expensesincreases in spending in this year's second quarter and first half were principally due to additional sales and marketing staff, and higher internal sales commissions due to higher trade show expenses to introduce new products and increased sales bookings.related expenses due to the increase in sales activity. The Company expects that marketing, general and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of net sales in the second half of this year as a result of the anticipated growth in revenues. Other income, net of interest expense was $50,000 in this year's second quarter compared to $69,000 last year and $106,000 in the first half compared to $109,000 in the same period last year. The effective tax raterates computed were 40% for the thirdsecond quarter and 40% for the first nine monthshalf this year were in the 37%-38% range compared to 34% for the third40% in last year's second quarter and 33% for the first nine months last year.half, respectively. 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 the higher domestic profitforeign income contribution along with lower state tax rates this year versuscompared to last year. Domestic tax rates tend to be higher than the Company's foreign subsidiary's tax rate. Other factors that may affect the tax rates include R&D tax credits and software capitalization levels.rates. The companyCompany reviews the tax rate quarterly and could make minor adjustments to reflect changing estimates. 7 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash increaseddecreased by $256,000$3,399,000 during the ninesix month period ended November 2, 1997. AccountsJuly 31, 1998. The decrease was due to the increase in accounts receivable increased by $3,600,000 brought about by high shipments in the last month of the period, increase in inventory in anticipation of certain large system orders, the purchase of eight acres of land near the Company's Ann Arbor facility for $732,000 and the inclusionrepurchase of approximately $1,833,000 in customer advanced deposit commitments. The primary use28,000 shares of the Company's cashcommon stock at an average price of $8.35 per share under its stock repurchase program. The purchase of land late in the second quarter was in anticipation of growth over the next 3-5 years. The Company is currently in the process of obtaining building permits to build the first nine months of fiscal 1998 has been:phase on the purchase of capital equipment usedproperty. Due to equip additional personnel andthe rising building lease costs in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area, the Company found that it would cost the Company less to upgrade our information systems capabilities, and investment in software development.own its own facility. Based on the current building plans, the Company feels that the building site is sufficient to allow the Company to grow over the next five years. Working capital at November 2, 1997 improved to $7,911,000July 31, 1998 was $7,767,000 compared to $5,726,000$8,173,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratioratios stood at 2.62.8 to 1.0 at November 2, 1997July 31, 1998 and at 3.02.5 to 1.0 at January 31, 1997.1998. At November 2, 1997,July 31, 1998, the Company has a $1,000,000$4,000,000 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,July 31, 1998, 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 - -------------------------------------- In addition to the other information contained in this Report, the following are important factors that should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business. New Products and Rapid Technological Change. The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors, including: timing of receipt of major system orders; timing of service revenues; product mix;markets for the Company's ability to timely introduce new products services and enhancements for its customers and achieve market acceptance asare characterized by continued demands for increasingly sophisticated measurement and control systems continue; uncertainties relative to global economic conditions;and turnkey solutions. The Company's success depends upon its ability to attractintroduce new products and retain for qualified personnelto enhance its existing products with features that meet changing end user requirements. There can be no assurance that new products or enhancements will gain market acceptance or that the Company will be successful in various technical positions;developing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements. Development and Management of Systems Integration Services. At the Company's abilitybeginning of fiscal 1997, management began 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 expandedexpand the services side of the Company'scompany's transportation market business. These services include systems integration, project management, commissioning and installation. These services are usuallyinstallation and, coupled with the sale of ourcompany's RedLine products, and has allowedmanagement believes these capabilities will allow us to pursue further the company's growth in the transportation market by providing "one-stop" orfull-service to the company's customers. These services provide us the capability to provide turnkey shoppingsystems where they are required. Hence, the Company has invested in project management, custom manufacturing, system integration, installation and commissioning staff during the past two years. The Company believes that the successful marketing and expansion of its transportation products will be increasingly 8 dependent on its ability to our customers. Thisoffer these services. However, the introduction of these services business raises several risk factors.risks for the Company. Specifically, the success depends on the time it takes for servicesthese personnel and future staff to come up to speed on ourthe company's products, customers and the services they will provide; ability to compete for qualified personnel in various technical positions; market acceptance of the services; timing of service revenues; and the ability to manage customer projects profitably;profitably. The successful management of these projects depends on the timely availability and quality of key products, the availability of key personnel, the ability to integrate ourdifferent products with other vendors' products; availabilityfrom a variety of vendors effectively and qualitythe management of other vendors' products; and otherdifficult scheduling and delivery risks.problems. Most of the Company's systems integration projects use fixed price contracts. The pricing of fixed price contracts requires accurate cost estimation in order to be profitable. Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results. The Company's quarterly operating results may vary significantly, depending on a number of factors, some of which could adversely affect the Company's operating results and the trading price of the Company's Common Stock. These factors include timing of receipt of system orders from and shipments to major customers; variation in the Company's product mix and component costs; economic conditions prevailing within the Company's geographic markets and in the world-wide automotive industry; market acceptance of new products and services; the timing and levels of operating expenditures; and exchange rate fluctuations. Any unfavorable change in these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results for a particular quarter. Quarterly sales depend in part on the volume and timing of orders received during a quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Moreover, a disproportionate percentage of the Company's net sales in any quarter are typically generated in the last month of a quarter. As a result, a shortfall in net sales in any quarter as compared to expectations may not be identifiable until the end of the quarter. In addition, a significant portion of the Company's sales are derived from a few customers. Hence, a decrease in the purchasing levels from one or more of these customers could adversely impact operating results. Dependence on International Sales. Part of the Company's revenue growth in the past few years was due to increases in the Company's international sales, particularly in Western Europe and Asia. International sales accounted for approximately 35%, 32%, and 18% of net sales in fiscals 1998, 1997 and 1996. The Company's international sales are subject to the risks inherent in international sales, including political and economic changes and disruptions, various regulatory requirements, and tariffs or other barriers. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates may render the Company's products less competitive relative to local product offerings or may cause foreign customers to delay or decrease potential orders. One or more of these factors may have a material effect on the Company's future international sales and, consequently, on the Company's operating results. Competition. The markets for the Company's products are intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Some of the Company's competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, product development, manufacturing or marketing resources than the Company. In addition, some of these competitors have a larger installed base than the Company, particularly outside the United States. The Company believes that its ability to compete depends on a number of factors, including price, product functionality, product quality and reliability, system integration capabilities, and post-sale service and support. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully with respect to these factors. Competitors could introduce additional products or add features to their existing products that are superior to the Company's products or that achieve greater market acceptance. 9 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. 8 Part II.
