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, 1996. Note 2 Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements to be consistent with the fiscal year 1997 presentation. Note 3 If the redemption of the Preferred Stock, as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources on page 7, had occured on June 30, 1996, instead of on or about August 9, 1996, the Company's June 30, 1996 balance sheet would have changed has shown below: June 30, 1996 ------------- As Pro Forma Reported Effect -------- -------- Current assets $ 808,785 $ 697,085 Total assets 897,421 785,721 Current liabilities 1,298,406 1,193,406 Total liabilities 2,005,049 1,293,406 Total stockholders' deficiency (1,107,628) (507,685) Total liabilities and stockholders' deficiency 897,421 785,721 -5- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales Net sales increased $6,239 (1%) for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales for the period is primarily attributed to the government segment, particularly shipments associated with the contract with the United States Air Force. 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 slightly, 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 for which firm orders have been received in the amount of $1,815,305. Shipments against this contract began in May 1995 and will continue beyond this fiscal year. A contract for $324,795 has been received from the U.S. Army for the model T-36M and a contract of $132,000 for the T-49C was received from the U.S. Coast Guard in the first quarter of fiscal year 1997. 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 decreased $12,017 (3.3%) for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is attributed to the increased sale of lower margin military products. The gross margin percentage was 55.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 58.3% for the same period last year. The lower percentage gross margin is expected to continue as Tel continues shipping the lower margin products for the Air Force contract. Operating Expenses Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13,055 (6.5%) for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is attributed to an increase in selling expenses associated with greater trade show participation and commissions associated with government sales. Engineering, research and development expenditures increased $21,204 (23.5%) for the same period due to increased development efforts associated with the T-36M contract. The net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $10,736 or $0.01 per share as compared to a net income of $56,162 or $0.04 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1995. -6- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The working capital deficiency decreased $10,578 for the first three months of fiscal year 1997 to $489,621. 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. In addition, the Company's liquidity and capital position were improved by the redemption of the outstanding redeemable preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). In July, 1996 a qroup of the Company's employees and creditor's agreed to purchase the Preferred Stock from the preferred stockholder for $111,700 and to exchange the Preferred Stock for common stock. At June 30, 1996, the Preferred Stock and accrued dividends had a face value of $606,643, as reflected on the accompanying financials. The effect of the redemption, which was completed on or about August 9, 1996, was to reduce the liabilities by approximately $700,000 and the negative net worth by approximately $600,000, as shown in Note 2 to the financials. Also, as a result of canceling the Preferred Stock, the annual dividends of $30,000 will no longer accrue. The Company's Board of Directors approved the exchange of the Preferred Stock and dividends for 178,720 shares of newly issued common stock and stock purchase warrants for an additional 35,744 shares of common stock. The purchase warrants are exercisable at a price per share of $0.75 until March 31, 1997, $1.50 until March 31, 1998, and $2.25, until March 31, 1999. The Board of Directors also authorized the Company to offer all shareholders the right to purchase an additional 178,720 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share and to issue, to such paticipating shareholders, up to 35,744 in stock purchase warrants with the same terms as those described above. There was no significant impact on the Company's operations as a result of inflation for the three months ended June 30, 1996. 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, 1996. -7- 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.
