Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On November 3, 1998, Ortel Corporation announced its intention to discontinue its development and production of 980nm pump laser for telecommunications applications. Costs associated with the discontinuance of that business were included in the results as reported on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended October 31, 1998. The program for developing the 980nm pump laser began during the first quarter ended July 31, 1997. Since that time, sales of the 980nm product totaled $1.4 million. The Company elected to terminate this business largely due to expected price reductions for this product going forward. The necessary research and development costs, which would further differentiate Ortel's product, were not merited under these market conditions. Item 7. Pro forma Financial Statements Pro forma consolidated financial statements of Ortel Corporation have been prepared which segregate the discontinued 980nm pump laser program for the six- month interim period ended October 31, 1998 and for the prior fiscal year ended April 30, 1998. Pro forma Balance Sheets have been prepared as of October 31, 1998 and April 30, 1998. For the six-month period ended October 31, 1998, total revenues for the discontinued business were $ .8 million which resulted in operating losses of $1.4 million after income taxes. As a result of the announcement to discontinue this business, a charge of $1.6 million after taxes was recognized in writing down the value of inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, and leasehold improvements used in the development and production of the 980nm pump laser. An additional charge of $2.3 million after taxes was recognized for estimated future expenditures primarily for product warranty, severance associated with a reduction in force and purchase order cancellation charges. During the prior fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, $ .9 million in revenues for the discontinued business resulted in a net loss of $1.4 million after taxes. At year end, inventory and accounts receivable identified to this business totaled $ .9 million. Fixed and other long-term assets identified to this business totaled $1 million. 2 Item 7 Pro forma Financial Statements (continued) ORTEL CORPORATION CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (unaudited) (in thousands, except share data) October 31, 1998 Discontinued Pro forma as Historical Operations Adjusted Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $12,925 $12,925 Short-term investments 16,071 16,071 Accounts receivable (net) 15,986 $ 426 15,560 Other receivables 1,848 1,848 Inventories 11,930 1,024 10,906 Income tax receivables 150 150 Deferred tax assets 3,012 3,012 Prepaid and other current assets 905 6 899 Current assets, discontinued operations - - - ------- ------- ------- Total current assets 62,827 1,456 61,371 Property, equipment and improvements (net) 19,781 589 19,192 Intangible assets 2,352 2,352 Other assets 8,248 8,248 Long-term assets, discontinued operations - - - ------- ------- ------- Total assets $93,208 $ 2,045 $91,163 ======= ======= ======= LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - ------------------------------------ Current liabilities Accounts payable $ 6,171 $ 6,171 Accrued payroll and related costs 2,060 2,060 Other accrued liabilities 2,681 2,681 Income taxes payable 183 183 Accrued liabilities, discontinued operations - $(2,854) 2,854 ------- ------- ------- Total current liabilities 11,095 (2,854) 13,949 Deferred income 397 397 Deferred income taxes 980 980 - Minority interest 324 324 Stockholders' equity: Preferred stock - - Common stock 12 12 Additional paid-in capital 54,781 54,781 Retained earnings 26,946 3,919 23,027 Loans receivable (988) (988) Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) (339) - (339) ------- ------- ------- Net stockholders' equity 80,412 3,919 76,493 ------- ------- ------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $93,208 $ 2,045 $91,163 ======= ======= ======= 3 Item 7 Pro forma Financial Statements (continued) ORTEL CORPORATION CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (unaudited) (in thousands, except per share data) Six Months Ended October 31, 1998 -------------------------------------------------- Discontinued Pro forma as Historical Operations Adjusted Revenues...................................................... $39,004 $ 795 $38,209 Cost of revenues.............................................. 23,589 1,248 22,341 ------- ------- ------- Gross profit................................................ 15,415 (453) 15,868 Operating expenses: Research and development...................................... 7,037 917 6,120 Sales and marketing........................................... 6,537 428 6,109 General and administrative.................................... 3,313 - 3,313 ------- ------- ------- Total operating expenses.................................... 16,887 1,345 15,542 ------- ------- ------- Operating income (loss).......................................
