The effect of exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies was not material for the periods presented. 3)	Inventories 	Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market and include the cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. 4)	Earnings per Share 	The number of shares used in computing earnings per share equals the total of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented plus common stock equivalents relating to options. Common stock equivalents relating to options represent additional shares which may be issued in connection with their exercise, reduced by the number of shares which could be repurchased with the proceeds at the average market price per share computed on a quarterly basis during the year. The following table shows the calculation for primary and fully diluted shares outstanding: 		 Three Months Ended	 	 June 28,	 June 30,	 		 1996	 1995	 	Weighted avg. shares outstanding 	7,861,299	 7,622,778	 	Common stock equivalents: 		Options - Primary 	 461,914	 677,126	 		Options - Fully Diluted 	489,360 	727,827	 	Shares outstanding: 		Primary 	8,323,213 	8,299,904	 		Fully Diluted 	8,350,659 	 8,350,605	 PRINTRONIX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ----------------------------------------------- JUNE 28, 1996 - ------------------------- (Unaudited) 5)	Long-term Debt In May 1996, the Company secured a five-year term commitment note of $5.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank. At June 28, 1996, $2.9 million was outstanding on this loan. The proceeds were used to acquire a new manufacturing facility in Singapore. The interest rate on the loan is variable based either on the bank's prime rate or 2% above the LIBOR rate. There are no payments due on the loan until December 1996, at which time principal and interest will be paid over a fifty-four months. 6)	Capital Stock On May 9, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a stock split-up effected in the form of a fifty percent (50%) stock dividend of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 1996. The stock dividend resulted in a distribution of 2,622,494 shares on June 10, 1996. An amount equal to the stated value of the common shares issued was transferred from capital in excess of stated value to the common stock account. Retroactive effect has been given to the dividend in stockholder's equity as of March 29, 1996, and in all share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements. PRINTRONIX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ------------------------------------------------------------ Reference is made to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1996 for a detailed discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations for the periods covered by that report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues and Backlog Sales for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 set a new quarterly high of $44.6 million compared with $40.4 million last quarter and $42.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue compared with both the prior and year-ago quarters resulted primarily from increasing demand for the Company's new ProLine series line matrix products. These products increased in sales to $29.2 million compared with $16.3 million last quarter. As most customers have already transitioned to the ProLine products, sales of mature line matrix products continued to decline, falling $7.3 million from the prior quarter. Laser and thermal printer sales decreased slighty from the prior quarter. North American sales for the quarter increased to $26.1 million, compared with $22.3 million last quarter and $25.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due primarily to increased sales of the new ProLine series line matrix products. International sales for the quarter increased to $18.5 million, compared with $18.2 million last quarter and $16.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in international sales over the year-ago quarter reflects growth in shipments to the Company's major OEM's with customers located outside the United States. Printer sales to distributors for the quarter increased to $12.4 million, compared with $11.0 million last quarter and $11.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Printer sales to major OEM customers were $19.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $15.0 million last quarter and $18.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenue increases across all distribution channels reflect increased sales of the new ProLine series line matrix printers. Order backlog as of June 28, 1996 was $21.4 million compared with $23.7 million at the end of the previous quarter and $17.6 million at the end of the year-ago quarter. The backlog decreased from the prior quarter due to decreased lead times for customer orders. The increased backlog compared with the prior year reflects higher customer orders for the Company's new products. Gross Profit Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 24.6% compared with 22.3% in the prior quarter and 25.9% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in the gross profit percentage from the prior quarter resulted primarily from higher sales of the newer products with higher profit margins, coupled with declining start-up costs on the new ProLine products. The decline in gross profit percentage from the same quarter of the prior year was due to ramp-up costs of the new ProLine products, and higher manufacturing costs from the inefficiencies of lower production volumes on mature line matrix products. PRINTRONIX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Operating, Other Expenses and Taxes Engineering spending for the quarter of $3.4 million remained flat from the prior quarter and decreased slightly from $3.5 million the year-ago quarter. Decreased spending for the quarter compared with the year-ago quarter reflects lower engineering costs on expendable materials and certain labor costs. As a percentage of sales, engineering expense decreased to 7.7% compared with 8.5% in both the prior and year-ago quarters, primarily as a result of expenses remaining flat while sales increased. Selling, general and administrative expense increased 9.3% from the prior quarter and 7.9% compared with the year-ago quarter primarily as a result of increased sales and marketing costs associated with the increase in sales of new products. Selling, general and administrative expense, as a percentage of sales remained relatively constant at 11.0%, 11.1% and 10.8% for the current, prior, and year-ago quarters, respectively. Other income and expense was a net expense of $0.03 million compared with income of $0.16 million for the prior quarter and income of $0.04 million for the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in other income and expense resulted primarily from lower interest income on lower average cash balances combined with higher losses on fixed asset dispositions and foreign currency remeasurement. The Company continues to utilize Federal and California net operating loss carryforwards and is required to provide only for certain state and foreign taxes. The tax provision of $0.1 million for the quarter represents expected income taxes based on estimates of taxable income for the fiscal year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash, net of short-term borrowing, was $5.1 million, a decrease of $1.1 million over last quarter and $5.9 million over the year-ago quarter. The Company's decreased cash balance compared with the prior and year-ago quarters resulted primarily from capital additions and higher inventory levels. Inventory levels have been increased to enable the Company's production facility in Singapore to move into a new factory without interrupting its operations or customer deliveries. Capital investments were $6.1 million, compared with $2.0 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Capital additions during the quarter included manufacturing equipment for ProLine printer production, a new building for Singapore manufacturing, and project expenditures on a corporate information system. In April 1996 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a new manufacturing facility in Singapore. This facility resulted in capital expenditures of $3.7 million for the building and an additional $2.0 million is expected for building improvements. To finance the building, the Company secured a five-year term loan of $5.0 million, of which $2.9 million was outstanding as of June 29, 1996. In June 1996 Printronix completed a stock split effected as a fifty-percent (50%) stock dividend. Retroactive effect has been given to the stock split in all share and per share data presented. The Company believes that its internally generated funds, together with available financing, will be adequate in providing working capital requirements and engineering development needs through the current fiscal year.

Legal Proceedings" reported in Part I of the Company's Report on Form 10K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1996. Printronix, Inc. vs. Kentek Information Systems, Inc. On May 16, 1996, the Company filed suit against Kentek Information Systems, Inc. ("Kentek") in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
