Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Electromagnetic Sciences, Inc., its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, EMS Technologies, Inc., LXE Inc., and CAL
Corporation (collectively, "the Company"). In the opinion of
management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect
all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of results for such periods. The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of results for the full year. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes contained in the Company=s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
(2) Earnings per Share
In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
established new standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share information. Basic earnings per share is the per share
allocation of income available to common stockholders based only
on the weighted average number of common shares actually
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
represents the per share allocation of income attributable to
common stockholders based on the weighted average number of
common shares actually outstanding plus all dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period. All dilutive
potential common shares relate to the Company's stock option
plan.
(3) Comprehensive Income
Beginning in fiscal 1998, the Company has adopted SFAS 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for
the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. Under SFAS 130, all items that are recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income must
be reported in the financial statements. The only element of
comprehensive income that is applicable to the Company is the
change in the foreign currency translation adjustment. Following
is a summary of comprehensive income (in thousands):

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter and first six
months of 1998 were $46.2 million and $88.9 million
respectively, compared with $41.0 million and $80.7 million
for the same respective periods in 1997. Most of this
revenue growth was derived from the Company's wireless
products segment, including higher sales of DualPolTM antennas
and other infrastructure products for PCS/cellular
communications. Sales of these infrastructure products have
benefited from the Company's expansion into new markets,
particularly Latin America, and from North American customers
that continued to expand their networks. The Company also
had higher sales, especially in North America, of its network
and systems integration products for logistics applications.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, was
64% for both the second quarter and first six months of 1998,
compared with 65% for the same periods in 1997. This
decrease was related to comparatively higher sales of certain
products within the wireless products segment (mainly
wireless infrastructure products for PCS/cellular
communications) and within the space and technology segment
(mainly airborne SATCOM antenna systems).
Selling general and administrative expenses were greater in
1998 than in 1997 in absolute dollars, but remained at 22% of
net sales in both 1998 and 1997.
The increase in research and development expenses related to the
enhancement of the Company's wireless products lines and the
development of new capabilities in the space and technology segment.
These expenses represent the cost of the Company's internally funded
efforts. In the Company's space and technology segment, significant
research and development effort also occurs under many specific
customer orders and, accordingly, is reflected in cost of sales.
Interest expense increased in 1998 compared with 1997 due to higher
levels of borrowing.
The 39% effective income tax rate for 1998 was comparable with the
rate for the preceding fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash provided by operating activities was the main factor in the
increase in cash during the first half of 1998, and for the remainder
of the year, the Company expects to generate further positive cash
flow before financing activities.
At June 30, 1998, the Company had three immediate sources of credit:
$8.1 million remaining under one revolving credit agreement, $1.6
million remaining under another revolving credit agreement, and $2.3
million available under a line of credit in Canada.
Management believes that the Company's present liquidity, together
with cash from operations and sources of external financing, will
support its current business activities and near-term capital
investment plans, but management expects that additional sources of
liquidity will be needed over the next few years if sales and
production levels continue to grow at rates similar to those of the
past two years.
Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------------------------
Forward-looking statements with respect to expected cash flows
and tax rates are included in management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Actual results could differ materially from those suggested in
any forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of
factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the
Company's ability to achieve product development and
manufacturing objectives within the cost and timing parameters
created by customers and end-users, and timeliness of orders and
payments from customers, and availability of funding for major
new space programs, and the strength and timing of end-user
acceptance of new communications services, such as high-data-rate
mobile services.
