NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1- Accounting Policies
In February 1992 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1992. Accordingly, the Company has implemented Statement 109 in the
accompanying financial statements, without effect on reported income.
Note 2- Earnings per Share
Earnings per common and common equivalent shares for January 31, 1997
and 1996 is based on the weighted average number of common shares actually
outstanding during the period plus the shares that would be outstanding
assuming conversion of convertible preferred stock and exercise of stock
options and warrants, all of which are common stock equivalents.
Note 3- Cash and Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist exclusively of U.S. Treasury Bills and are
considered a cash equivalent.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Results of Operations:
- ----------------------
Total revenues for the six months ended January 31, 1997 increased 5.6%
to $5,629,000 versus $5,331,000 for the same period last fiscal year. Total
revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1997 decreased 1.5% to
$2,930,000 versus $2,976,000 for the same period last fiscal year.
Hart Scientific revenues for the current six month period were
$5,396,000 versus $5,075,000 for the same period last year, an 6.3%
increase. Hart Scientific revenues for the current three month period were
$2,802,000 versus $2,808,000 for the same period last year. A decrease in
sales of higher priced instruments accounts for the lower revenue in the
quarter and the lower rates of revenue growth versus previous periods.
Hart Scientific's gross margins were 47% for the current six months,
this is equal to the same period last year.
General and Administrative costs for the current six month period were
$1,322,000 versus $1,379,000 for the same period last year. In the current
three month period, ended January 31, 1997, General and Administrative
expenses for Hart Scientific were $715,000 versus $516,000 for the same
period last year.
Page 8
Marketing and sales expenses for the current three month period were
$358,000 versus $249,000 for the same period last year. Marketing and sales
expenses for the current six month period were $664,000 versus $508,000 for
the same period last year.
Net income for the current three months is $168,000 versus net income of
$332,000 for the same period last year, a 49% decrease. Net income before
extraordinary income for the current six months is $441,000 versus net income
before extraordinary income of $568,000 for the same period last year, a
22% decrease. Net income for the current six months of $441,000 does not
include any extraordinary gain while the net income for the same period last
year of $1,630,000 includes an extraordinary gain of $1,062,000. Hart
Scientific had net income of $57,000 for the current quarter versus $430,000
for the same period last year, an 87% decrease. Hart had net income for the
current six months of $370,000 versus net income of $782,000 for the same
period last year, a 53% decrease. Product mix and in particular a decrease
in sales of higher priced instruments contributed to the lower net income.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- ---------------------------------
The Registrant's current ratio at January 31, 1997 is 2.96 versus 2.06
at July 31, 1996.
Total current assets decreased by $364,000 during the current six
month period while current liabilities decreased by $912,000 during the same
period. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $359,000 in the current six
month period to $1,666,000. This reflects the higher costs of the period and
lower revenue and net income. The balance sheet of LIFF remains strong and
debt at the Lifschultz Fast Freight subsidiary continues to be reduced.
