NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheet of Aeroflex Incorporated and Subsidiaries
("the Company") as of March 31, 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of operations for the nine and three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996 and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring
adjustments and the adjustments referred to in Note 2) necessary to present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
March 31, 1997 and for all periods presented have been made. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1996 annual report to
shareholders. There have been no changes of significant accounting policies
since June 30, 1996.
Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial
statements to conform to current classifications.
Results of operations for the nine and three month periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for the corresponding
years.
2. Acquisition of Business
MIC
Effective March 19, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of MIC Technology Corporation ("MIC") for approximately $36,000,000 of
cash, 300,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 400,000
shares of common stock (at exercise prices ranging from $7.05 to $7.50 per
share). The purchase price was paid with available cash of $9,000,000 and
borrowings under the Company's bank loan agreement of $27,000,000. The
purchase agreement also provides for a contingent payment of $4,000,000
based upon certain operating results. MIC manufactures high frequency thin
film circuits and interconnects for miniaturized, high frequency, high
performance electronic products for growing commercial markets such as
wireless communications, satellite based communications hardware and high
technology military electronics. The acquired company's net sales were
approximately $25,000,000 for its fiscal year ended October 31, 1995.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the
acquired assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated
fair values at the date of acquisition. The operating results of MIC are
included in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition
date.
The Company commissioned an independent asset valuation study of acquired
tangible and identifiable intangible assets to serve as a basis for
allocation of the purchase price. Based on this study, the Company
allocated the purchase price as follows:
Net tangible assets $ 6,190,000
Identifiable intangible assets 8,453,000
In-process research and development 23,200,000
-----------
$37,843,000
===========
-8-
The identifiable intangible assets which include existing technology,
customer relationships and assembled work force will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over thirteen years based on the study described
above. The acquired in-process research and development was not
considered to have reached technological feasibility and, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the value of
such was expensed in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
Summarized below are the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the
Company as if MIC had been acquired at the beginning of the fiscal periods
presented.

3. Bank Loan Agreements
As of March 15, 1996 the Company replaced a previous agreement with a
revised revolving credit and term loan agreement with two banks which is
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets not otherwise
encumbered. The agreement provides for a revolving credit line of
$22,000,000 and a term loan of $16,000,000. The revolving credit line
expires in March 1999. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments
of $900,000 with final payment on September 30, 2000. The interest rate on
borrowings under this agreement is at various rates depending upon certain
financial ratios, with the current rate substantially equivalent to the
prime rate (8.5% at March 31, 1997) on the revolving credit borrowings and
prime plus 1/4% on the term loan borrowings. The terms of the agreement
require compliance with certain covenants including minimum consolidated
tangible net worth and pre-tax earnings, maintenance of certain financial
ratios, limitations on capital expenditures and indebtedness and
prohibition of the payment of cash dividends.
4. Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

------------ ------------
$ 22,113,000 $ 16,916,000

5. Income Taxes
At June 30, 1996 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $8,000,000 for Federal income tax purposes which expire
through 2006. The income tax provisions for the nine and three months ended
March 31, 1996 include benefits relating to the recognition of unrealized
and realized net operating loss carryforwards.
The Company is undergoing routine audits by various taxing authorities of
several of its Federal, state and local income tax returns covering
different periods from 1993 to 1996. Management believes that the probable
outcome of these various audits should not materially affect the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.
6. Contingencies A subsidiary of the Company whose operations were
discontinued in 1991, is one of several defendants named in a personal injury
action initiated in August, 1994, by a group of plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are
seeking damages which cumulatively may exceed $500 million. The complaint
alleges, among other things, that the plaintiffs suffered injuries from exposure
to substances contained in products sold by the subsidiary to one of its
customers. This action is in the early stages of discovery. Based upon available
information and considering its various defenses, together with its product
liability insurance, in the opinion of management of the Company, the outcome of
the action against its subsidiary is not expected to have a materially adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

AEROFLEX INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased to $64,912,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from
$44,300,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Operating profits
increased 63% from last year, exclusive of a one-time write-off of $23,200,000
in 1996 for in-process research and development related to the purchase of MIC
Technology Corporation ("MIC"). Net income for the nine months ended March 31,
1997 was $2,461,000. The net loss for the comparable period of the prior year
was $(20,479,000) including the special write-off of $23,200,000.
Net sales in the electronics segment increased to $52,591,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 from $33,186,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 primarily as a result of the acquisition of MIC in March 1996 and an
increase in volume of existing microelectronic product sales. Operating profits,
exclusive of the special write-off of $23,200,000 in 1996, increased by
$2,190,000 as a result of both the increased sales volume and higher profit
margins in the existing product lines offset, in part, by the addition of MIC's
selling, general and administrative costs.
Net sales in the isolator products segment increased to $12,321,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 from $11,114,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996. The increase reflects increased sales volume in the commercial and
industrial divisions offset, in part, by decreased sales volume in the military
isolator division. Operating profits increased by $344,000 primarily due to the
higher sales volume and higher profit margins, offset, in part, by increased
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 67.2% from 69.2% between the
two periods primarily as a result of increased margins in microelectronics and
isolator products divisions during the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
Selling, general and administrative costs (exclusive of the special charge in
the prior year) as a percentage of sales increased to 23.4% from 22.4% primarily
as a result of the addition of MIC which has a higher S,G&A cost structure than
the balance of the Company.
Interest expense for the period increased to $2,263,000 from $936,000 for
the prior period due to increased levels of borrowings related to the MIC
acquisition in March 1996. Interest and other income decreased to $71,000 from
$595,000 as a result of lower interest income on reduced cash amounts due to the
acquisition of MIC.
The income tax provisions for the two periods differed from the amount computed
by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes
primarily due to state income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and
primarily as a result of the tax benefits of loss carryforwards (both unrealized
and realized) for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The income tax rates
were 37% and 20% for 1997 and 1996, respectively, exclusive of the special
charge in 1996.
Management believes that potential reductions in military spending will not
materially affect its operations. In certain product areas, the Company has
suffered reductions in sales volume due to cutbacks in the military budget. In
other product areas, the Company has experienced increased sales volume due to a
realignment of government spending towards upgrading existing systems instead of
purchasing completely new systems. The overall effect of the cutbacks and
realignment has not been material to the Company.
-11-
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased to $22,937,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
from $15,956,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Operating profits
increased 47% from last year, exclusive of a one-time write-off of $23,200,000
in 1996 for in-process research and development related to the purchase of MIC
Technology Corporation ("MIC"). Net income was $917,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The net loss for the comparable period in the prior year
was $(22,084,000) including the special charge of $23,200,000.
Net sales in the electronics segment increased to $18,549,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $11,790,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 primarily as a result of the acquisition of MIC in March 1996 and an
increase in volume of existing microelectronics product sales. Operating
profits, exclusive of the special write-off of $23,200,000 in 1996, increased by
$786,000 as a result of both the increased sales volume and higher profit
margins in existing product lines (specifically microelectronics) partially
offset by the addition of MIC's selling, general and administrative costs.
Net sales in the isolator products segment increased to $4,388,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $4,166,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. The increase is attributable to higher sales volume in both the
commercial and industrial isolator divisions offset, in part, by decreased sales
volume in the military isolators division. Operating profits increased by
$121,000 primarily due to the higher sales volume and higher profit margins,
offset, in part, by increased selling, general and administrative expenses.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 66.2% from 68.6% between the
two periods primarily as a result of improved margins in the microelectronics
and isolator products divisions. Selling, general and administrative costs
(exclusive of the special charge in 1996) as a percentage of sales increased to
24.5% from 22.3% primarily as a result of the addition of MIC which has a higher
S,G&A cost structure than the balance of the Company.
Interest expense for the period increased to $712,000 from $320,000 for the
prior period due to increased levels of borrowings related to the MIC
acquisition in March 1996. Interest and other income decreased to $10,000 from
$262,000 as a result of lower interest income on reduced cash amounts due to the
acquisition of MIC.
The income tax provisions for the two quarters differed from the amount computed
by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes
primarily due to state income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and primarily as a result of the tax benefits of loss carryforwards (both
unrealized and realized) for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The income
tax rates were 36% and 20% for 1997 and 1996, respectively, exclusive of the
special charge in 1996.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company's working capital at March 31, 1997 was $24,772,000 as compared to
$24,736,000 at June 30, 1996. The current ratio was 2.3 to 1 at both dates.
Cash provided by operating activities of $5,119,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 was primarily due to the continued profitability of the
Company and the collection of receivables partially offset by an increase of
inventory. Cash used by investing activities of $2,181,000 was comprised
primarily of capital expenditures.
The cash provided by operating activities net of the cash used by investing
activities for the nine month period was used to reduce debt by $3,228,000.
Management believes that the revolving credit and term loan facility, coupled
with cash to be provided by future operations, will be sufficient for its
presently anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditure needs
and the servicing of its debt.
-12-
Effective March 19, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
MIC Technology Corporation ("MIC") for approximately $36,000,000 of cash,
300,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common
stock (at exercise prices ranging from $7.05 to $7.50 per share). The purchase
price was paid with available cash of $9,000,000 and borrowings under the
Company's bank loan agreement of $27,000,000. The purchase agreement also
provides for a contingent payment of $4,000,000 based upon certain operating
results. MIC manufactures high frequency thin film circuits and interconnects
for miniaturized, high frequency, high performance electronic products for
growing commercial markets such as wireless communications, satellite based
communications hardware and high technology military electronics. The acquired
company's net sales were approximately $25,000,000 for its fiscal year ended
October 31, 1995.
As of March 15, 1996 the Company replaced a previous agreement with a revised
revolving credit and term loan agreement with two banks which is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets not otherwise encumbered. The
agreement provides for a revolving credit line of $22,000,000 and a term loan of
$16,000,000. The revolving credit line expires in March 1999. The term loan is
payable in quarterly installments of $900,000 with final payment on September
30, 2000. The interest rate on borrowings under this agreement is at various
rates depending upon certain financial ratios, with the current rate
substantially equivalent to the prime rate (8.5% at March 31, 1997) on the
revolving credit borrowings and prime plus 1/4% on the term loan borrowings. The
terms of the agreement require compliance with certain covenants including
minimum consolidated tangible net worth and pre-tax earnings, maintenance of
certain financial ratios, limitations on capital expenditures and indebtedness
and prohibition of the payment of cash dividends.
During June 1994, the Company completed a sale of $10,000,000 principal amount
of 7-1/2% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures to non-U.S. persons. The
debentures are due June 15, 2004 subject to prior sinking fund payments of 10%,
10%, 15% and 15% of the principal amount on September 15, 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003, respectively. The debentures are convertible into the Company's common
stock at a price of $5-5/8 per share. As of March 31, 1997, $19,000 principal
amount of debentures was converted.
A subsidiary of the Company whose operations were discontinued in 1991, is
one of several defendants named in a personal injury action initiated in August,
1994, by a group of plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are seeking damages which
cumulatively may exceed $500 million. The complaint alleges, among other things,
that the plaintiffs suffered injuries from exposure to substances contained in
products sold by the subsidiary to one of its customers. This action is in the
early stages of discovery. Based upon available information and considering its
various defenses, together with its product liability insurance, in the opinion
of management of the Company, the outcome of the action against its subsidiary
is not expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
The Company's backlog of orders at March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $49,000,000 and
$44,000,000, respectively.
At June 30, 1996 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $8,000,000 for Federal income tax purposes. The Company is
undergoing routine audits by various taxing authorities of several of its
Federal, state and local income tax returns covering different periods from 1993
to 1996. Management believes that the probable outcome of these various audits
should not materially affect the consolidated financial statements of the
Company.
