Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 1995
NOTE A: The attached summarized financial information does not
include all disclosures required to be included in a
complete set of financial statements prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Such
disclosures were included with the financial statements of
the Company at February 28, 1995, included in its report on
form 10-K. Such statements should be read in conjunction
with the data herein.
NOTE B: The financial information reflects all adjustments which,
in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods. The
results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
NOTE C: Inventory at November 30, 1995 is comprised of:
Finished goods $ 98,283
Work in process 134,258
Raw materials and subassemblies 260,335
--------
Total $492,876
NOTE D: The Company has adopted FASB Statement no. 109 which
became effective for the Fiscal Year Ended February 28,
1994. Accordingly, under the provision of Statement 109,
the income tax benefit of the loss for the nine months
ended November 30, 1994 was offset by an increase in the
valuation allowance.
NOTE E: Income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during each period. The
computation does not include the effect of outstanding
stock options or conversion of the subordinated promissory
notes since their inclusion would be either not material or
anti-dilutive.
NOTE F: The financial statements for fiscal 1995 have been
prepared under the assumption that the Company will
continue as a going concern. During the year ended February
1995 the Company incurred a significant loss from
operations.
At February 28, 1995 the Company had a net capital
deficiency of $348,995. The lack of sufficient working
capital has hampered the Company's ability to produce and
market its products efficiently and to make payments to its
vendors and certain noteholders in a timely fashion. Some
vendors have placed the Company's account for collection
with a collection agency.
4.
Note F: These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's
Cont'd ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not contain any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Sales increased $94,536 to $2,086,235 for the nine months ended
November 30, 1995 as compared to $1,991,699 for the nine months ended November
30, 1994. The increase was primarily a result of an increase of $352,000 in
sales of Nozzle Systems, while sales of SonoFlux Systems decreased approximately
$257,000. For the three months ended November 30, 1995 sales increased $143,709
to $736,727 as compared to sales of $593,018 for the three months ended November
30, 1994. Sales of Nozzle Systems inreased approximately $150,000 and sales of
SonoFlux Systems decreased approximately $6,000 as compared to the three month
period ended November 30, 1994. The decrease in sales of SonoFlux Systems is
believed to be the result of a decline in export sales as well as an increase in
competitive pressures. In response to the increase in competition the Company
introduced its newest version of SonoFlux System, the "9500". This new model has
a lower manufacturing cost, a lower selling price, and is designed to be more
"user friendly" through computer controled operation. Although there can be no
assurances, the Company anticipates that this new model will appeal to a broader
segment of the market, and lead to increased sales of this product line.
Gross profit increased $280,644 from $914,600 for the nine month
period ended November 30, 1994 to $1,195,244 for the nine month period ended
November 30, 1995, and increased $143,438 from $270,316 for the three months
ended November 30, 1994 to $413,754 for the three months ended November 30,
1995. As a percent of sales, gross profit increased from 46% for the nine months
ended November 30, 1994 to 57% for the nine months ended November 30, 1995, and
increased from 46% for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to 56% for the
three months ended November 30, 1995. For both the nine and three month periods
the increase in gross profit was primarily a result of a change in product mix
and a reduction in production overhead costs. Sales of Nozzle Systems, which
realize a higher gross margin as compared to sales of SonoFlux Systems,
comprised 39% and 40% of sales for the nine and three month periods ended
November 30, 1995 as compared to 24% of sales for both the nine and three month
periods ended November 30, 1994. The Company's production overhead costs
decreased as a result of reduced warranty and labor costs.
Research and product development costs increased $73,312 from
$221,639 for the nine months ended November 30, 1994 to $294,951 for the nine
months ended November 30, 1995 and increased $21,586 from $76,568 for the three
months ended November 30, 1994 to $98,154 for the three months ended November
30, 1995 The increase was primarily a result of increased labor and consulting
costs associated with the development of the SonoFlux 9500.
Marketing and selling costs decreased $85,005 from $561,261 for the
nine months ended November 30, 1994 to $476,256 for the nine months ended
November 30, 1995 and decreased
6.
$41,177 from $190,866 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 to $149,689
for the three months ended November 30, 1995. The decrease was primarily as a
result of a decrease in travel costs. During the first nine months of Fiscal
1996 the Company has concentrated its selling efforts to focus on North American
markets, thereby reducing the necessity for costly Far East and European travel.
General and administrative costs decreased $99,900 from $386,700 for
the nine month period ended November 30, 1994 to $286,800 for the nine months
ended November 30, 1995 and decreased $34,375 from $128,530 for the three months
ended November 30, 1994 to $94,155 for the three months ended November 30, 1995.
For the nine months ended November 30, 1995 the decrease resulted primarily from
a reduction in the Company's reserve for doubtful accounts and a decrease in
professional fees. During the three months ended November 30, 1994 the Company
incurred costs of $23,000 as a result of its abandonment of certain foreign
patents.
Interest and other income increased $32,811 from $221 for the nine
months ended November 30, 1994 to $33,032 for the nine months ended November 30,
1995. The increase is a result of funding received during the three months ended
May 31, 1995 from SEMATECH for work done by the Company under the terms of a
joint development agreement. SEMATECH is a consortium of U.S. semiconductor
manufacturers and has provided the Company with funds for the development of a
photoresist application system, or "Wafer Coating System".
For the nine months ended November 30, 1995 the Company earned
$119,599 or $.03 per share as compared to a net loss of $301,821 or $.08 per
share for the nine months ended November 30, 1994. For the three months ended
November 30, 1995, the Company had earnings of $54,205 or $.01 per share as
compared to a net loss of $142,439 or $.04 per share for the three months ended
November 30, 1994. The increase in earnings for both the nine and three month
periods resulted primarily from an increase in sales of the Company's Nozzle
Systems, a decrease in general and administrative costs, a decrease in marketing
and selling costs, and an increase in other income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Working capital increased $92,718 to $286,757 at November 30, 1995 as
compared to working capital of $194,039 at February 28, 1995. The increase in
working capital was primarily a result of profitable operations.
The Company's lack of working capital has hampered its ability to
efficiently produce and market its products, and has impeded progress in the
development of new products. At times, the Company has been unable to make
payments to its vendors and certain note holders in a timely fashion. Some
vendors have placed the Company's account for collection with a collection
agency. During Fiscal 1995 the Company failed to make three of four scheduled
interest payments to holders of the convertible secured subordinated promissory
notes issued in November 1993. The failure to make such payments constitutes an
act of default in accordance with the terms of the note. In March 1995 the
Company and each noteholder agreed to an amendment whereby, among other things,
the holder agreed to waive the right of default and
7.
remedies based on the Company's failure to make interest payments due on August
15, 1994 and thereafter through and including February 15, 1996.
The Company's Chairman, who is entitled to receive consulting
compensation from the Company at the rate of $26,000 per year has agreed that
payments to him could be deferred commencing June 1993. The amount of such
deferral at November 30, 1995 was $63,557.
These factors raise serious doubt as to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
During Fiscal 1995 the Company incurred a significant loss from operations.
During this period of time the Company devoted significant resources, including
working capital to the development of two new products. The first is a new
generation of the SonoFlux System that is used in the electronics industry for
the application of flux to printed circuit boards during their manufacture. The
Company began shipping this new system to customers during the three months
ended May 31, 1995. The second new product is a Wafer Coating System to be used
in the semiconductor industry for the application of photoresist to
semiconductor wafers. The Company anticipates that functional qualification of
the Wafer Coating System will commence during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1996.
Management believes that these new products will lead to broader markets and
increased sales and profits quickly enough to improve its working capital
position in the short term and to restore its equity in the long term, although
there can be no assurances that these goals will be achieved.
In order to generate additional working capital, 333,333 shares of
common stock were sold to the Company's Chairman and a Noteholder for the fair
market value of $100,000 in February 1995.
As the long term debt of the Company to the bank matures on November
1, 1996 and the Convertible Secured Subordinated Notes mature on August 15,
1997, the Company will experience substantial difficulties in meeting these
obligations unless the level of profitability improves over the next several
years or unless the bank and the Noteholders agree to extend the repayment terms
of this debt. There can be no assurance that such extensions can be negotiated,
or that such extensions, if negotiated, will be on terms as favorable to the
Company as those presently in effect.
