AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997 (All amounts in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) (3) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires comprehensive income and its components to be presented in the financial statements. Comprehensive income, which includes net income and foreign currency translation adjustments, was $2,026 and $235 for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997, respectively. During the three month period ended April 3, 1998, employees purchased approximately 47 shares at $5.95 per share under the provisions of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Changes in the status of options under the Company's stock option plans are summarized as follows: January 1, 1998 Weighted January 1, 1997 Weighted to Average to Average April 3, 1998 Price Dec. 31, 1997 Price ------------- ----- ------------- ----- Options outstanding at beginning of period 3,046 $7.76 2,818 $8.33 Options granted 75 10.74 1,094 6.98 Options exercised (249) 7.33 (162) 7.51 Options forfeited/canceled (69) 10.37 (704) 9.00 ------ ----- Options outstanding at end of period 2,803 7.81 3,046 7.76 Number of options at end of period: Exercisable 1,725 1,884 Available for grant 388 394 (4) NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE Basic EPS was computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by weighted average shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997 was determined on the following assumptions: 1) Warrants issued in connection with the private placement of equity were converted upon issuance on January 1, 1998, 2) Warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of Spectra were converted on January 1, 1998 and 3) Preferred Shares were converted on January 1, 1998. Options to purchase 77 and 1,299 common shares at an average price of $12.33 and $9.30 per share were outstanding for the three months ended April 3, 1998 and April 4, 1997, respectively. Warrants to purchase 975 common shares at $8.00 per share were outstanding for the three months ended April 3, 1997. These options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted EPS since the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Common Shares. PSC Inc.

The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Company uses derivative instruments solely to reduce the financial impact of these risks. Interest Rate Risk: The Company's exposure to interest rate changes relates to its long-term debt. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements with its senior lending banks in accordance with the terms of the senior credit agreement. The Company uses these interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. The differentials to be received or paid under these interest rate swap agreements are recognized as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk: The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange changes relates primarily to its international subsidiaries. The Company may occasionally enter into forward foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against currency fluctuations relating to these foreign transactions and commitments denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign exchange contracts generally have maturities of approximately 30 days and require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates agreed to at the inception of the contracts. Gains and losses on forward contracts are offset against the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying hedged items and are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's December 31, 1997 annual report on Form 10-K. Results of Operations: Net Sales. Consolidated net sales during the three months ended April 3, 1998 decreased $0.6 million or 1% compared with the same period in 1997. The decrease is primarily due to effects of the stronger U.S. dollar. The translation of sales denominated in foreign currencies was negatively impacted by $1.4 million in 1998 versus 1997. International net sales increased 15% primarily due to the introduction of new products and represented approximately 52% of net sales in the first quarter of 1998 versus 45% of net sales in the first quarter of 1997. Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit during the three months ended April 3, 1998 decreased $1.0 million or 4% compared with the same period in 1997. The decreased dollar amount is primarily due to the decrease in net sales. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased from 41.9% to 40.4% due to lower average selling prices in certain fixed position retail product lines. Engineering, Research and Development. Engineering, Research and Development (ER&D) expenses increased $0.4 million or 10%, as compared to the same period in 1997. As a percentage of sales, ER&D was 7.2% in the first quarter of 1998 versus 6.5% of net sales in the first quarter of 1997. The dollar and percentage of sales increases are due to additional investments in developing new products and enhancing existing products. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $3.2 million or 25%, as compared to the same period in 1997. As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 18.2% in 1998 versus 23.9% in 1997. As a result of efficiencies developed due to the integration of Spectra, the Company has continued to reduce its general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales. Acquisition Related Restructuring and Other Costs. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a one-time, pretax charge of $10.0 million for the cost of restructuring its existing operations with those of Spectra which was acquired in July 1996. The restructuring program in part, provided for employee severance and benefit costs for the elimination of certain positions. As of April 3, 1998, all positions targeted in the restructuring program have been eliminated. Restructuring actions are expected to be completed by the end of 1998. The amount of the restructuring accrual at April 3, 1998 was approximately $0.9 million which relates to current contractual obligations. There have been no reallocations or reestimates to date. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.5 million versus the comparable period in 1997. The decrease is due to lower principal balances outstanding. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded a $1.3 million tax provision in 1998 primarily due to an increase in pretax income. The Company's effective tax rate was 37% in both 1998 and 1997. The Company expects to record income tax expense at or about the combined federal and state statutory tax rate in 1998. Discontinued Operations. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company completed the sale of TxCOM, which was acquired as part of the Spectra acquisition, for approximately $1.0 million. A loss of approximately $0.3 million, net of tax, was recorded. Liquidity and Capital Resources: Current assets increased $3.6 million from December 31, 1997 primarily due to an increase in cash and inventory. Current liabilities decreased $1.4 million primarily due to a reduction in accounts payable and accrued payroll and related employee benefits offset in part by an increase in accrued expenses. As a result, working capital increased $5.0 million from December 31, 1997. Property, plant and equipment expenditures totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 1998 compared with $2.5 million for the three months ended April 4, 1997. The 1998 expenditures primarily related to manufacturing equipment and new product tooling. The long-term debt to capital percentage was 74.3% at April 3, 1998 versus 76.6% at December 31, 1997. At April 3, 1998, liquidity immediately available to the Company consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $4.0 million. In connection with the acquisition of Spectra during 1996, the Company obtained new credit facilities totaling $130.0 million. The Company has $14.5 million available on these facilities. The Company believes that its cash resources and available credit facilities, in addition to its operating cash flows, are sufficient to meet its requirements for the next twelve months.
