STATEMENTS Note 1 In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Tel Instrument Electronics Corp as of December 30, 1995, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995. Note 2 Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 financial statements to be consistent with the fiscal year 1996 presentation. -5- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales Net sales decreased $19,432 (3.7%) and increased $459,961 (36.3%) for the three and nine months ended December 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales for the nine months period is primarily attributed to the government segment for shipments associated with contracts with the Canadian Defense Forces and the United States Air Force. The decrease in sales for the three month period is primarily due to the suspension of shipments to the United States Air Force in that period and a weakening in commercial sales. The uncertainty of the commercial segment continues and resulted in a decline in commercial sales which offset the increase in government sales. While sales increased, the stagnant conditions experienced in both the commercial airline and government segments continue. In fiscal year 1995 the Company was awarded an open quantity contract by the U.S. Air Force in the amount of $1,679,265 of which firm orders have been received in the amount of $1,436,260. Shipments against this contract began in May 1995. In July 1995, the U.S. Air Force placed a hold on further shipments until certain design specifications have been clarified and incorporated. An agreement with the U.S Air Force has been signed and shipments should resume in the final quarter of fiscal year 1996. A small contract for $183,000 has been received from the U.S. Army and was shipped in the third quarter of fiscal year 1996. The future growth and profitability continue to be dependent on a turnaround of the commercial airline industry, introduction and acceptance of new products, and the award of additional government contracts. Gross Margin Gross margin increased $37,219 (13.3%) and $360,935 (53.4%) for the three and nine months ended December 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. This increase is attributed to the higher volume, sale of higher margin products, and the additional absorption of overhead expenses. The gross margin percentage was 60.0% for the nine months ended December 30, 1995 as compared to 53.3% for the same period last year. The higher percentage gross margin is not expected to continue once Tel starts shipping the lower margin products for the Air Force contract. Operating Expenses Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $38,419 (25.6%) and $113,891 (25.3%) for the three and nine months ended December 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase is attributed to an increase in selling expenses associated with the addition to staff of a Director of Marketing and commissions associated with government sales. Engineering, research and development expenditures increased $33,502 (45.0%) and $66,196 (30.0%), respectively, for the same periods due to increased development efforts. The net income for the three months ended December 30, 1995 was $2,883 or $0.00 per share as compared to a net income of $52,897 or $0.03 per share for the three months ended December 30, 1994. The net income for the nine months ended December 30, 1995 was $133,107 or $0.08 per share as compared to a net loss of $39,758 or $0.02 per share for the nine months ended December 30, 1994. -6- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The working capital deficiency decreased $134,678 for the first nine months of fiscal year 1996 to $384,541. The improvement in working capital is primarily due to the improvement in operations. The Company has been able to satisfy its cash needs as a result of the recent improvements in operations. The Company's ability to continue is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to obtain additional financing. Since securing financing from traditional sources is difficult, short term liquidity must continue to be provided by cash generated from operations. Management's plans to improve profitability and cash flow are based on cost reduction measures, continued sales efforts, and incremental revenues derived from new product developments. Management continues to evaluate various means of restructuring and/or extending the payment terms of the redeemable preferred stock. There was no significant impact on the Company's operations as a result of inflation for the nine months ended December 30, 1995. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for fiscal year ending March 31, 1995. Signatures Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
