This compares with net income of $836,000, or $0.08 per share, on revenues of $9.6 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. Average share and share equivalents outstanding were 10,908,000 compared to 10,866,000 at September 30, 1995. For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported net income of $472,000, or $0.04 per share, on revenues of $17.7 million. This compares with net income of $1,353,000, or $0.13 per share, for the six months ended September 30, 1995, on revenues of $18.3 million. According to Jeffrey Kalb, CMD's president and chief executive officer, "This has been a tough quarter for CMD and most of the semiconductor and related industries. As we said earlier this year, many customers are reducing their inventories, and giving us significantly shorter lead times than this time a year ago. Also, some customers, in addition to correcting inventory levels, have lost market share in certain key areas, and some customers have delayed production on products where CMD has design wins. All this has resulted in a 16% reduction in revenues compared to both the year ago quarter and the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1996, however, were just 3% below the same period last year." Kalb noted that "Margins improved by about 3 percentage points over the previous quarter ended June 30, 1996 but have dropped approximately 7 percentage points compared to the same quarter a year ago. The drop from a year ago was primarily due to a significant change in product mix. We took many steps during the quarter to reduce costs, including company-wide shutdowns during the first weeks of July and September. As a result, we were able to improve margins and, with interest income, stay in the black in spite of the reduction in revenue. Additional cost reductions are being executed, including shutdowns scheduled at the end of November and at the end of December." As Kalb noted, "While we are controlling costs, we are not neglecting our future. We increased our R&D spending by over 50%, to $1,214,000 compared to $795,000 a year ago, emphasizing our confidence in the future of the business. Much of this increase related to our new P/Active(TM) family of termination and filtering products, as well as some new potentially high volume semiconductor devices. While the P/Active(TM) family of solutions is still small and was only recently announced, we have already begun to see significant interest in these new products. A key factor is that by interacting closely with our customers and doing not only the design but applications characterization, CMD is providing our customers with real solutions to their problems, not just another bag of parts. - more- 4 This approach is very akin to that pursued by the chip set providers in the semiconductor industry some years ago, but it has been generally foreign to the passive components business. For product developers to meet today's short time to market requirements, they have to be able to access devices they know will work in their application. CMD is pioneering this approach to termination and filtering applications." "Our increased R&D investment was more than offset by reduced administrative expenses. Although legal costs continue to be very high, we have significantly reduced the unusual consultant, audit and other costs that increased expenses last year. And due to reduced profits, management and other bonuses are much lower than a year ago. We are keeping a very tight rein on general expenses, but making strategic investments in people and materials to expand our marketing and sales activities. We have also been making changes in our indirect sales activities to strengthen their ability to focus on our new generation of passive solutions." Kalb noted that "We are also very pleased with the progress we have made in our internal systems and procedures. We now have in place the infrastructure needed to support significant growth and meet customer requirements without adding much additional administrative cost. We have also completed the transfer of most of our testing operations to Far East assemblers, reducing cost and lead times, while improving our ability to respond to customer requirements. These steps have positioned us to respond quickly when our business recovers." In closing, Kalb noted that "The Company's balance sheet remains strong. Receivables continue to be in line with industry norms. And although inventory grew, nearly all the growth was in raw materials to replenish our supply of wafers, while we kept current production spending in line with demand. We have made significant investment in equipment primarily to upgrade our manufacturing capabilities, improve efficiencies, and increase responsiveness to customer requirements." The Company noted that shares outstanding at both September 30, 1996 and 1995 include 1,500,000 shares issued in 1995 and held in trust in connection with a proposed, but not approved, February 1995 settlement of shareholder class action lawsuits. A new proposed settlement of these lawsuits was announced in September, 1996, and is subject to court approval. However, until such time as the new settlement is funded, the previous settlement remains as recorded in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. The overall cost of this settlement is the same as the earlier one expensed in fiscal 1995, but the new settlement involves the issuance of 608,696 shares combined with $6 million in cash, compared with 1,500,000 shares and $1 million in cash under the previously proposed settlement. When and if the new settlement is funded, the Company's cash will be reduced by $5 million dollars and the number of shares outstanding reduced by 891,304 shares.
