NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
1. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company
transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments
consisting only of normal recurrent adjustments which, in the opinion
of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for
this interim period have been made.
2. Prior year balance sheet and cash flow statements are restated to
conform to present year presentation.
3. During the quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company maintained a
$550,000 Line of Credit with interest at the Bank's prime rate (8.25%
at March 31, 1997) plus one percent and an additional credit facility
of $20,368 with an interest rate of prime plus 2%. The Line of Credit
had an outstanding balance of $570,368 on March 31, 1997.
The credit facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's assets. The carrying amount of the Company's credit
arrangements approximate their fair value.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
AW's future is dependent on the successful completion and receipt
of a significant deposit on an order(s) for either or both of the Company's new
products, The Checker Productivity Analyzer ("CPA") and/or the Wizard of
Point-of-Sale ("Wizard"), or on the Company's ability to raise additional
capital to maintain its operations until these products are completed. The
Company expects that its existing capital resources will enable it to maintain
its current operations through the second quarter of 1997. Thereafter, the
Company will need to raise substantial additional capital to remain in business.
The Company intends to seek such additional funding through collaborative or
partnering arrangements or through public or private equity or debt financing,
as well as attempting to obtain deposits from customers. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at
all.
As of May 13, 1997, AW had a backlog of firm orders for delivery
within one year of $424 thousand compared to $700 thousand at May 13, 1996.
Because of the size of the backlog the Company believes that the volume of
operations will remain at the relatively low level experienced in the first
quarter of this year until the successful completion and market acceptance of
either CPA or Wizard. Acceptance of either or both of these products would
generate future revenues, however, there can be no assurance that the Company
will not continue to experience delays with these products or that the Company's
marketing efforts will be successful.
The development of the Company's computer vision-based CPA product
is substantially complete and the Company has commenced live testing in an
actual supermarket environment. The live testing is on-going and there can be no
assurances when testing will be completed or that the testing will be
successful. There can also be no assurance that the CPA product will achieve
commercial acceptance.
Operations
Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $189 thousand (or 64%)
lower than revenues in the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to: (i) only $35
thousand in contract revenue from contracts in progress. Most of the revenue
generated during the quarter was from software services ($86 thousand) and from
software maintenance ($68 thousand).
The Company experienced a negative gross profit of ($175,355)
compared to ($50,024) for the same period last year. The negative gross profit
was due to approximately $241 thousand in cost related to the development of the
CPA contract with corresponding revenue from the contract of only $28 thousand.
As of March 31, 1997, $1,564,000 and $3,734,000 have been recognized as revenues
and cost under the CPA Agreement respectively. The Project has exceeded its
$1,700,000 contractual budget, as such, the Company has recognized an additional
loss provision of $400,000 representing the estimated cost to complete the
project. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is
reasonably possible that the completion costs for the Project will be further
revised in the near term.
Page numbered in accordance with Rule 0-3(b). Page 8 of 11.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $48
thousand (or 6.2%) higher in the first quarter of 1997 than in the same period
last year. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses were 431% versus 221% in
the first quarter of 1996.
Development expense was $18 thousand (or 74%) lower in the March
quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996, this is primarily due to
reduced development activities on the Company's new products until completion of
the CPA project.
In the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, the effective income tax
benefit was 0% of the Net Loss before income taxes. This is due to the lack of a
net loss carryback provision in New Jersey State Income Tax code and the
inability to carryback any additional losses to offset past income for Federal
Income Tax purposes.
As a result of the factors discussed above, operations in the
first quarter of 1997 resulted in a loss of $961 thousand (or $0.15 per share)
compared to net loss of $896 thousand (or $0.19 per share) in the same period
last year.
Liquidity
During the quarter, working capital decreased $879 thousand to
($1.202 million) compared to ($323 thousand) at December 31, 1996. Current
Assets decreased $811 thousand primarily due to decreases in cash of $824
thousand. Current Liabilities increased $68 thousand primarily due to increases
in Accrued Compensation of $63 thousand, an increase in Other Liabilities of $12
thousand, an increase in Accounts Payable of $33 thousand and a decrease in
Accrued Liabilities of $37 thousand.
During the first quarter of 1996, working capital decreased $236
thousand to $846 thousand (or 42 days of costs and expenses) compared to $1,082
thousand (or 54 days of costs and expenses) at December 31, 1995. Current Assets
decreased $537 thousand primarily due to decreases in Accounts Receivable of
$412 thousand, Prepaid Assets of $58 thousand, and Costs in Excess of Billing of
$47 thousand. Current Liabilities decreased $300 thousand primarily due to
decreases in current debt of $133 thousand, decrease in Accounts Payable of $100
thousand and a decrease in Accrued Contract Costs of $56 thousand.
Page numbered in accordance with Rule 0-3(b). Page 9 of 11.
Financial Resources
The Company expects to require continued significant product
development efforts and capital expenditures for equipment in 1997. The Company
believes its competitive position must be maintained by the development of new
proprietary hardware and software products. Expenditures for these items will be
funded from cash flow and from potential future financing as can be arranged.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on
acceptable terms or at all.
During the quarter ending March 31, 1997, the Company maintained a
$550,000 Line of Credit with interest at the Bank's prime rate (8.25% at March
31, 1997) plus one percent and an additional credit facility of $20,368 with an
interest rate of prime plus 2%. The Line of Credit had an outstanding balance of
$570,368 on March 31, 1997.
The credit facilities are collateralized by substantially all of
the Company's assets. The carrying amount of the Company's credit arrangements
approximate their fair value.
