NOTE B - DIVIDENDS A quarterly dividend of $.07 per share is payable August 29, 1997. NOTE C - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Reference is made to Item 3. Legal Proceedings in the December 31, 1996 Form 10-K which is incorporated herein by reference. 4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations - --------------------- During the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, net sales increased to $55,649,000 from $55,265,000 in the second quarter of 1996. For the first six months of 1997, net sales of $114,093,000 were $4,327,000, or 3.9%, higher than net sales of $109,766,000 during the same period in 1996. Although net sales in the Defense segment decreased $2,267,000, or 4.9%, during the second quarter, this decline was generally due to the timing of contract awards. In addition, while the Defense segment's net sales increased less than 1% during the six-month period in 1997, the 1996 period included nearly $3,000,000 in sales related to a program to upgrade the visual system of an SH-60 helicopter simulator that had no recurring sales in 1997. In the Company's Energy segment, higher prices and volumes have produced net sales increases of $2,243,000, or 30.3%, and $3,606,000, or 23.9%, in the current year's three and six month periods, respectively, as compared to the like periods in 1996. Gross profit percentages increased .9% to 24.8% during the 1997 second quarter and decreased 1.6% to 23.6% during the six-month period in 1997, as compared to the like periods in 1996. In the Defense segment, gross profit percentages slipped .9% and 3.9% during the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, as compared to the prior year. These decreases in the Defense segment generally resulted from a fluctuation in the mix of contracts from "fixed price production" to "cost plus development." However, the current contract mix includes lower financial risk programs that offer opportunities for follow-on higher-margin, long-term, sole source production awards. The gross profit in the Energy segment increased 9.2% to 37% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to the 1996 second quarter, and 9.5% to 37% for the six-month period in 1997, compared to the like period in 1996. This growth was generally attributable to an improved pricing structure as well as continued operating efficiencies. Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $11,549,000, which was 9.2% greater than in the like period in 1996. During the six-month period in 1997, selling and administrative expenses decreased $874,000, or 3.9%, compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in the second quarter of 1997 was due to greater marketing and contract procurement costs in the Defense segment. These higher costs were partially offset, in the six-month period, by lower marketing and contract procurement costs in the first quarter of 1997, due to the timing of new program activity. Also, additional savings were generated in the Defense segment in the first quarter of 1997 from facilities consolidation and headcount reductions, which more than offset the added costs in the second quarter. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses increased 1.6% to 20.8% and decreased 1.5% to 18.7% for the three and six 5 month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996. Net income increased 14.5% and 18.8% for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1997, respectively, primarily due to reduced interest expense resulting from decreased borrowings. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," is effective in the fourth quarter of 1997. The impact of this FASB Statement on the calculation of earnings per share is not expected to be material. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash flows from operations were $13,510,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $6,799,000 for the same period in the prior year. The change was principally attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Funds from operations were sufficient for dividends and capital expenditures. The Company currently has no significant fixed commitments for capital expenditures or for investments. Its capital requirements consist primarily of its obligation to fund operations and principal and interest payments on indebtedness. The Company expects that available cash and existing lines of credit will be sufficient to finance operations through December 31, 1997. On June 11, 1997, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement, Term Loan Agreement and Security Agreement, ("Agreement") (amending and restating Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 1994) with an institutional lender. In July 1997, the Company signed a $6,250,000 term note, under the Agreement, at LIBOR plus a fluctuating margin. The principal is payable in sixty consecutive monthly installments. The amount available under the Revolving Line of the Credit Agreement is $17,500,000 with various interest rate options, and is reduced by the Letter of Credit obligations, which may not exceed $12,500,000. The Agreement provides for restrictive covenants among which are debt service coverage ratio, quick ratio, service debt ratio and a tangible net worth requirement, all as defined. All assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the Agreement. At June 30, 1997, there were no borrowings under the Agreement.
