AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1997 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of operations and the cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and may be subject to year-end adjustments. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1996 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain items in the 1996 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods plus common stock equivalents relating to warrants and options. The number of common stock equivalents relating to options and warrants is determined using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included when their effect is antidilutive. Fully diluted net income per share approximates primary net income per share in each period. In December 1997, the Company will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings per share." The provisions of this statement will require a change in the method of calculating earnings per share which will result in an insignificant difference from currently reported earnings per share. Page 5 6 2. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Cost includes material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 consist of: 3/31/97 12/31/96 ------- -------- Raw materials $ 806,857 $ 870,887 Work in process 1,280,387 1,216,066 Finished goods 1,548,467 1,835,590 ---------- ---------- $3,635,711 $3,922,543 ========== ========== ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this report are forward-looking statements which involve risk and uncertainties, including but not limited to economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company decreased its working capital $880,000 as of March 31, 1997, compared to December 31, 1996. This decrease was primarily a result of the Company's stock repurchase program ($444,000) in addition to normal operations. The company expects to be able to fund operations from current working capital and profits generated from operations. During the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, sales decreased 14%, compared to the same period last year and gross profit as a percentage of product sales for the three-month period decreased from approximately 54% to 52%. Revenue declines were due primarily to the loss of sales resulting from the 1995 Restructuring Plan and the related discontinued product lines. The decrease in gross profit percentage is due primarily from the reduction in sales and aggressive pricing in the allergy product line. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 have decreased approximately 6% over the prior year period. This decrease is primarily due to reduced expense levels at the Company's German subsidiary resulting from the completion, in 1996, of certain contractual obligations arising from the acquisition. Research and development costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 have decreased approximately 6% over the prior year period. This decrease is primarily due to the completion of several projects during the period. Page 6 7 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
