AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 1997 and 1996 1. Valley Forge Scientific Corp. ("VFSC") is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling medical devices and products. On August 18, 1994, VFSC formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Diversified Electronics Company, Inc. ("DEC"), a Pennsylvania corporation, in order to continue the operations of Diversified Electronic Corporation, a company which was merged with and into VFSC on August 31, 1994. Collectively, VFSC and DEC are referred to herein as the "Company". 2. The September 30, 1996 balance sheet date was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1997 and the statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. 3. Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including common stock equivalents. VALLEY FORGE SCIENTIFIC CORP. 	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 1996. 	Sales of $1,204,683 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were 67% greater than sales of $719,575 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, while sales of $1,675,369 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 were 21% greater than sales of $1,387,963 for the six months ended March 31, 1996. Sales to Johnson & Johnson Professional, Inc. ("J&J") were at higher levels in the second quarter of 1997 as a result of increased worldwide marketing by J&J and sales of new generators developed by the Company. 	Gross profit was $625,649 and $786,204 for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to gross profit of $372,224 and $697,217 for the corresponding periods in 1996. The Company's gross profit margin was 52% and 47%, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 52% and 50% for the corresponding periods in the prior year. 	Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 increased by 8% and 6%, respectively, from the corresponding periods in 1996. 	Research and development expenses continued to rise in the second quarter of 1997. Research and development expenses increased by 183% to $74,604 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and by 244% to $160,104 for the first six months of fiscal 1997. The increase in research and development expenses reflects the development and refinement of generators and instrumentation in preparation for introduction into markets in addition to the Company's base neurosurgery market. 	The Company had income from operations of $112,814 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and a loss from operations of $210,783 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to a loss from operations of $61,386 and $139,299, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1996. The Company made a provision for income taxes of $48,749 for the three months ended March 31,1997 and received a benefit of income taxes of $78,598 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to receiving a benefit of income taxes of $6,746 and $28,349, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1996. As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net income of $64,987, or $.01 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and a net loss of $130,575, or $.02 per share, for the six months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to a net loss of $50,784, or $.01 per share, and $102,767, or $.01 per share, for the corresponding periods in 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources 	The primary measures of the Company's liquidity are cash balances (including short-term investments), accounts receivable and inventory balances, as well as its borrowing ability. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's working capital decreased by $67,662 to $2,755,245, however, for the second quarter of 1997, the Company's working capital increased by $96,028. 	The Company used $13,295 in operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 1997 principally from the Company's net loss as adjusted for the depreciation and amortization of $58,582, and an increase in accounts receivable of $30,789, less a decrease in inventory of $73,773. The decrease in the Company's inventory for the first six months of fiscal 1997 reflects the Company's increased sales for the second quarter of 1997. Investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 1997 used a total of $8,580 for the purchase of equipment. 	As a result of the foregoing, cash decreased by $21,875 in the first six months of fiscal 1997, leaving a balance of $140,886 in the Company's cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1997. The Company's retained deficit increased to $133,646 at March 31, 1997 from $3,071 at September 30, 1996. 	The Company has no long-term debt. The Company believes it has available all funds needed for operations, research and development and capital expenditures as they may arise in the future. However, should it be necessary, the Company believes it could borrow adequate funds at competitive rates and terms. VALLEY FORGE SCIENTIFIC CORP. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
