NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 (Unaudited) Note 1. Basis of Presentation The information included in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Note 2. Earnings Per Share See Exhibit 11, Computation of Per Share Earnings, of this document. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, were $19,290,000 compared with $19,497,000 for the same period a year ago. Sales of products for the Comfort, Safety and Health of People accounted for 63 percent of the Company's total business and experienced a decrease of 7.7 percent in net sales during the first quarter, compared to the same quarter a year ago. This area accounted for 67 percent of the Company's business in fiscal 1997, ended March 31, 1997. The main cause of this decrease was lower shipments under military contracts to furnish PORTACOUNT(R) respirator fit testers for bio-hazard protection, because a contract to furnish these to the German Army was in process during the first quarter a year ago but completed prior to the first quarter this year. Sales of products for Productivity and Quality Improvement were at 37 percent of total sales for the fiscal 1998 first quarter and net sales increased about 13 percent over last year's first quarter. The increase was mainly due to higher sales of noncontact process instrumentation. Sales to U.S. and state government agencies including defense, comprised about 21 percent of the Company's net sales for the fiscal 1998 first quarter, as compared to 21 percent for the same fiscal 1997 quarter. This is similar to the rate of 22 percent of sales experienced for all of fiscal 1997. Sales to government agencies represent a significant portion of the Company's sales. Due to the Company's diverse line of products, sales normally occur in a wide range of U.S. and state government agencies and, except for specific significant contracts, the level of government sales have been quite stable as a percentage of total sales. Major changes in the level of government spending can affect the Company's sales in this category. During the first quarter, backlog of orders decreased from $25.1 million at March 31, 1997, to $23.1 million at June 30, 1997, compared to backlog of $25.3 million at June 30, 1996. The backlog decrease was mainly due to shipments under the previously referenced army contracts, which were added to backlog during fiscal 1997. Gross profit for this quarter was 55.0 percent of net sales compared to 56.3 percent for the first quarter last year. The lower gross profit percentage for the first three months this year was due to variations in product mix and both of these numbers are within the expected range of 54 to 57 percent. Research and product development expenses were 14.4 percent of net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 12.8 percent of net sales for the same period last year. Actual research and product development spending was up about 12 percent in the quarter. For all of fiscal 1997, research and development expenses were at 13.7 percent of net sales. Development of new technologies and products continues to be a significant contribution to the Company's growth strategies. Fiscal 1998 research and product development expenses are expected to continue in the Company's historical range of 12 to 15 percent of sales. Selling expenses were 22.5 percent of net sales for the first three months of fiscal 1998 compared to 21.9 percent of net sales for the same period in fiscal 1997. Actual expenses rose about 2 percent. For all of fiscal 1997, selling expenses were 21.7 percent of net sales and are expected to be near this level for fiscal 1998. Administrative expenses were 7.7 percent and 7.3 percent for the quarters ending June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company expects administrative costs to continue in an operating range of 7 to 9 percent of net sales through the remainder of fiscal 1998. Other income was $296,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $65,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase was primarily due to more interest income this year. The provision for income taxes was at the rate of 35 percent of pre-tax earnings for the first quarters of both fiscal 1998 and 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents stayed essentially level at $7,345,000 at June 30, 1997, compared to $7,695,000 at March 31, 1997. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.2 as of June 30, 1997, compared to 3.7 as of March 31, 1997. Working capital increase $1.1 million to $27.1 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to $26.0 million at the end of fiscal 1997. Management believes internally generated funds and short-term borrowings on existing credit lines will provide adequate resources for supporting operations during the remainder of fiscal 1998.
