ALDEN ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $3,453,983 compared to
$4,845,729 for the same period in the prior year. The overall decrease in
revenues is attributable to fewer large order sales of the Company's 9315CTP
Printer, continuing reductions in the sales of paper and parts for older
equipment and certain products discountinued during the last quarter of the
prior fiscal year. Sales of the 9315CTP Printer were approximately $900,000
less than in the same period in the prior year while the sales of paper and
parts on older equipment and discontinued products accounted for
approximately $800,000 of reduced revenues. These reductions were partially
offset by increased revenues from the sales of weather display systems,
which experienced an increase in sales of approximately $500,000
over the same period in the prior year.
Gross profit, as a percent of sales, was 21.8% for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 compared to 31.0% for the same period in the prior year. The
1995 margin was adversely affected by the decrease in sales of the 9315CTP
Printer, greater than anticipated costs to produce new products during their
introductory period and the continuing decline in revenues from leased
equipment.
Selling, administrative and general expenses were approximately $670,000
less for the quarter when compared to the same period in the prior year due
to cost containment measures, reductions in certain direct selling expenses
and new product promotional costs incurred in the prior fiscal year, which
did not occur in the current period.
Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1995 were $7,288,470 compared
to $8,666,806 for the same period in the prior year. The overall decrease in
revenues is attributable to fewer large order sales of the Company's
9315CTP Printer, continuing reductions in the sales of paper and parts for
older equipment and certain products discountinued during the last quarter
of the prior fiscal year. Sales of the 9315CTP Printer were approximately
$800,000 less than for the same period in the prior year while the sales of
paper and parts on older and discontinued products accounted for
approximately $1,200,000 of reduced sales. These reductions were partially
offset by increased revenues from the sales of weather display systems,
which experienced an increase in sales of approximately $1,000,000
over the same period in the prior year.
Gross profit, as a percent of sales, was 25.7% for the six months compared to
31.0% for the same period in the prior year. The 1995 margin was adversely
affected by the decreased sales of 9315CTP Printers, greater than anticipated
costs to produce new products during their introductory period and the
continuing decline in revenues from leased equipment.
Selling, administrative and general expenses were approximately $786,000
less for the six months ended September 30, 1995 when compared to the same
period in the prior year due to cost containment measures, reductions in
certain direct selling expenses and new product promotional costs
incurred in the prior fiscal year, which did not occur in the current period.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $117,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily due to investments in
property, plant and equipment and repayment of debt made in the normal course
of business exceeding cash provided by operating activities. Management
believes that internally generated funds will be sufficent to satisfy its
anticipated working capital and capital needs for the remainder of the
fiscal year.
