PSC Inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998 (All amounts in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of April 2, 1999, the results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998 and its cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998. The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1998 annual report on Form 10-K. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory costs include material, direct labor and overhead and consist of the following: April 2, 1999 December 31, 1998 ---------------- --------------------- Raw materials ........... $13,660 $11,231 Work-in-process ......... 3,228 2,888 Finished goods .......... 4,154 3,131 ========== ========== $21,042 $17,250 ========== ========== (2) LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following: April 2, 1999 December 31, 1998 ---------------- --------------------- Senior term loan A ......... $34,000 $37,000 Senior term loan B ......... 22,750 23,000 Subordinated term loan ..... 29,562 29,547 Subordinated promissory note 3,125 3,438 Other ...................... 177 223 ---------- ----------- 89,614 93,208 Less: current maturities .. 14,871 14,402 ---------- ----------- $74,743 $78,806 ========== =========== (3) SEVERANCE AND OTHER COSTS During the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $2.1 million for severance and other costs. Of the total charge, $1.4 million was for employee severance and benefit costs for the elimination of approximately 140 positions primarily at the Webster, New York manufacturing facility resultant from the consolidation of all high volume handheld scanner manufacturing at the Company's Eugene, Oregon facility. The remaining $0.7 is for early termination of the lease on the Company's Webster offsite storage and repair facility. As of April 2, 1999, the amount of the severance and other accruals was approximately $2.1 million, which relates to current contractual obligations. These costs reduced 1999 income before income tax provision, net income, basic EPS and diluted EPS by $2.1 million, $1.4 million, $0.11 and $0.10, respectively. PSC Inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998 (All amounts in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) (4) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY During 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, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized loss on securities, was $926 and $2,026 for the three months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, respectively. During the three month period ended April 2, 1999, employees purchased approximately 62 shares at $7.76 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, 1999 Weighted January 1, 1998 Weighted to Average to Average April 2, 1999 Price December 31, 1998 Price ------------------ ------------ --------------------- ------------ Options outstanding at beginning of period ............. 3,027 $7.98 3,046 $7.76 Options granted .................... -- -- 391 8.92 Options exercised ..................

These options are not available for future grants. (5) 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 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998 was determined on the following assumptions: (1) Preferred Shares and related warrants issued in connection with the private placement of equity were converted upon issuance on January 1, 1998 and (2) warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of Spectra were converted on January 1, 1998. The following options were not included in the computation of diluted EPS since the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Common Shares. Options to purchase 1,171 and 469 common shares at an average price of $9.65 and $9.23 per share were outstanding for the three months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, respectively. PSC Inc.

SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 and cannot be applied retroactively. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to derivative instruments that were issued, acquired or substantively modified after December 31, 1997. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the financial statements and has not determined the timing of or method of adopting SFAS No. 133. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk. 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. Cash flows from interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency forward exchange contracts are classified in the same category as the item being hedged. 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. PSC Inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998 (All amounts in thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk: The Company's exposure to foreign currency relates primarily to its international subsidiaries. Sales to certain countries are denominated in their local currency. The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize the effect of foreign currency fluctuations relating to these 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. (7) SUBSEQUENT EVENT On May 12, 1999, the Company sold its facilities and property located in Eugene, Oregon and simultaneously entered into a lease agreement for the facilities for a fifteen year period. The lease is being accounted for as an operating lease, and the resulting gain of $0.5 million is being amortized over the life of the lease. The annual rental expense will be $0.8 million, which will be paid in quarterly installments. The net proceeds from the sale totaled $8.3 million, of which, $8.0 million will be utilized to reduce the senior credit facilities. 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, 1998 annual report on Form 10-K. Results of Operations: Three Months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales. Consolidated net sales during the three months ended April 2, 1999 increased $5.5 million or 10% compared with the same period in 1998. International net sales increased 16% and represented approximately 55% of net sales in the first quarter of 1999 versus 52% of net sales in the first quarter of 1998. The overall increase in consolidated net sales is attributed primarily to increased sales in the fixed position retail product lines and U-Scan(R) Express Self-Checkout Systems. The increase in international sales is primarily due to the evolution of new products and the continued growth in the Company's European and Asian Pacific customer sales. Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit during the three months ended April 2, 1999 increased $3.9 million or 18% compared with the same period in 1998. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased from 40.4% to 43.3%. The increase in gross profit percentage is primarily due to improved product mix, higher manufacturing volume and lower product unit costs. Engineering, Research and Development. Engineering, Research and Development (ER&D) expenses increased $0.2 million or 6%, as compared to the same period in 1998. As a percentage of sales, ER&D was 7.0% in the first quarter of 1999 versus 7.2% of net sales in the first quarter of 1998. The dollar increase is due to additional investments in developing new products. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $2.6 million or 27%, as compared to the same period in 1998. As a percentage of sales, SG&A was 20.9% in 1999 versus 18.2% in 1998. The dollar increase is primarily due to a significant increase in the international sales infrastructure and additional investments in the Company's marketing organization and marketing programs. Severance and Other Costs. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $2.1 million for severance and other costs. Of the total charge, $1.4 million was for employee severance and benefit costs for the elimination of approximately 140 positions primarily at the Webster, New York manufacturing facility resultant from the consolidation of all high volume handheld scanner manufacturing at the Company's Eugene, Oregon facility. The remaining $0.7 is for early termination of the lease on the Company's Webster offsite storage and repair facility. As of April 2, 1999, the amount of the severance and other accruals was approximately $2.1 million, which relates to current contractual obligations. These costs reduced 1999 income before income tax provision, net income, basic EPS and diluted EPS by $2.1 million, $1.4 million, $0.11 and $0.10, respectively. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.7 million versus the comparable period in 1998. The decrease is due to lower principal balances outstanding and a reduction in the Company's interest rates on its senior term loans as the Company achieved key milestones under certain financial covenants contained in the bank credit agreements. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 35% in 1999 versus 37% in 1998 due to larger Foreign Sales Corporation benefits. Liquidity and Capital Resources: Current assets increased $1.6 million from December 31, 1998 primarily due to an increase in inventory resulting from newly introduced products offset in part by a reduction in accounts receivable. Current liabilities increased $3.7 million primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As a result, working capital decreased $2.1 million from December 31, 1998. Property, plant and equipment expenditures totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended April 2, 1999 compared with $1.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 1998. The 1999 expenditures primarily related to new product tooling, manufacturing equipment and computer hardware. The long-term debt to capital percentage was 62.0% at April 2, 1999 versus 64.1% at December 31, 1998 primarily due to a reduction in long-term debt by $4.1 million and an increase in retained earnings resultant from net income of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 1999. At April 2, 1999, liquidity immediately available to the Company consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million. The Company has credit facilities totaling $89.6 million and a revolving line of credit of $20.0 million, of which, there is no outstanding balance. 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 12 months. Year 2000 The Year 2000 problem is the result of many existing computer programs written in two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year. Accordingly, date-sensitive software or hardware may not be able to distinguish between the year 1900 and year 2000, and programs that perform arithmetic operations, comparisons or sorting of date fields may begin yielding incorrect results. This potentially could cause a system failure or miscalculations that could disrupt operations, including, among other things, an inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in normal business activities. These Year 2000 issues affect virtually all companies and organizations. The Company has developed a three-phase plan to address its Year 2000 issues: (1) Identification of software and hardware. This includes the following: (a) Applications and information technology (IT) equipment, which includes all mainframe, network and desktop software and hardware, custom and packaged applications, and IT embedded systems; (b) Non-information technology (non-IT) embedded systems. This includes non-IT equipment and machinery. Non-IT embedded systems, such as security, fire prevention and climate control systems typically include embedded technology; and (c) Vendor relationships. This includes significant third-party vendors and supplier interfaces. Both domestically and internationally, the Company has substantially completed the identification stage. (2) Assessment of the software and hardware identified. This phase includes the evaluation of the software and hardware identified for Year 2000 compliance, the determination of the remediation method and resources required, and the development of an implementation plan. The Company has substantially completed the assessment stage. (3) Implementation of a remediation plan. This phase includes testing some modifications/upgrades in a Year 2000 simulated environment and vendor interface testing, if necessary. The Company has commenced implementation, both domestically and internationally, and expects this phase to be completed by the end of August 1999. The Company's remediation plan for its Year 2000 issue is an ongoing process and the estimated completion dates above are subject to change. Overall, at this time, the Company believes that its systems will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner for several reasons. Several significant operating systems are already compliant. Internationally, the Company is currently implementing new computer systems that were developed in the United States and are currently Year 2000 compliant. To the extent that current systems that will not be replaced have been determined to be non-compliant, the Company is working with the suppliers of such systems to obtain upgrades and/or enhancements to ensure Year 2000 compliance. Also, comprehensive testing of all critical systems is planned to be conducted in a simulated Year 2000 environment. The Company believes that it will not be required to modify or replace significant portions of the products it presently develops and provides to customers as such products are not date dependent and, accordingly, will function properly with respect to dates in the Year 2000. All new products will be Year 2000 ready when released. At this stage in the process, the Company has not identified any significant risks. However, the Company believes that the area of the greatest potential risk relates to significant suppliers' failing to remediate their Year 2000 issues in a timely manner. The Company is conducting formal communications with its significant suppliers to determine the extent to which it may be affected by those parties' plans to remediate their own Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. If a number of significant suppliers are not Year 2000 compliant, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow. At this point, the Company has not been advised by any significant supplier that it will not be Year 2000 compliant. The Company is developing its contingency plans and expects to have them completed by June 1999. To mitigate the effects of the Company's or significant suppliers' potential failure to remediate the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner, the Company will take appropriate actions. Such actions may include having arrangements for alternate suppliers, using manual intervention to ensure the continuation of operations where necessary and scheduling activity in December 1999 that would normally occur at the beginning of January 2000. If it becomes necessary for the Company to take these corrective actions, it is uncertain, until the contingency plans are finalized, whether this would result in significant delays in business operations or have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based upon the Company's current estimates, incremental out-of-pocket costs of its Year 2000 program are expected not to be material. These costs are expected to be incurred primarily in fiscal 1999 and will be associated primarily with the remediation of existing computer software and hardware. Such costs are estimated to be approximately $0.5 million. Such costs do not include internal management time, which the Company does not separately track, nor the deferral of other projects, the effects of which are not expected to be material to the Company's results of operations or financial condition. The Company's total Year 2000 project costs include the estimated costs and time associated with the impact of third-party Year 2000 issues based on presently available information. However, there can be no guarantee that other companies upon which the Company relies will be able to address in a timely manner their Year 2000 compliance issues, the effects of which may be an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations. Euro Conversion On January 1, 1999, 11 of the 15 member countries of the European Union established fixed conversion rates between their existing legacy currencies and the euro. The legacy currencies will remain in effect until July 1, 2002, at which time, the legacy currencies will no longer be legal tender for any transactions. The Company believes, but can give no assurance, that the euro conversion will not have a material adverse impact to results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Certain statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis may be forward-looking in nature, or "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Management cautions that these statements are estimates of future performance and are highly dependent upon a variety of important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimate.
