PARLEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Management Statement
The financial statements as reported in Form 10-Q reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of September 29,1996 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 29, 1996 and
October 1, 1995. All adjustments made to the interim financial statements
were of a normal recurring nature.
The Company followed the same accounting policies in the preparation
of this interim financial statement as described in the Company's annual
filing on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996 and this filing should
be read in conjunction with that annual report.
2. Other Income
In the current quarter, other income is comprised of a gain on the
sale of equipment as well as items of miscellaneous nature. In the
preceding year, only items of a sundry nature were included under this
caption.
3. Joint Venture
In May 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to establish a
limited liability company in the form of a joint venture in the People's
Republic of China. The Company owns 50.1% of the joint venture. The joint
venture manufactures flexible printed circuits and commenced operations in
September 1995. The Company reports the financial results of this venture
on a three month time lag.
4. New Accounting Standards
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement established
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable. The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 in the first quarter of 1997.
This statement had no effect on the consolidated financial position and
results of operations of the Company.
-6-
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," which will be effective for the Company beginning July
1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not
require) compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the
equity instrument awarded. Companies are permitted, however, to continue to
apply APB Opinion No. 25, which recognized compensation cost based on the
intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will continue
to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock-based compensation awards to
employees and directors, and will disclose the required pro forma effect on
net income and net income per share in its June 30, 1997 consolidated
financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Operations
Total revenues in the first quarter of the current fiscal year were
$12,807,129, an increase of 10% over the sales of $11,611,410 reported in
the comparable quarter last year. Revenues were generated primarily from
product sales, while some was derived from licensing and royalty fees. The
increase in sales is a result of the Company's continuing effort to broaden
its commercial base by developing products that provide unique solutions to
the requirements of the markets it is attempting to serve.
In September 1995, Parlex (Shanghai) Circuit Co., Ltd., the Chinese
joint venture, commenced operations (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial
Statements). The sales from this venture, while not significant, also
contributed to the increase over the previous year.
The cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 85% and 89% for the
first quarter this year and last year, respectively. Last year, the cost of
sales was impacted by a large multi-year contract in the Flexible Circuit
Products Division, involving new technology, new equipment, the use of very
thin materials with special handling requirements, and some incurred costs
associated with learning curve issues. These technical problems have since
been resolved.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue was 12% in the current quarter versus 11% last year. The slight
increase was associated with additional selling expenses due to increased
sales efforts.
Interest expense was $104,930 this quarter as compared to $69,622 last
year. To facilitate its growth, the Company borrowed monies for the
purchase of equipment, its investment in the Chinese joint venture, and to
finance its additional working capital requirements.
Other income this quarter of $112,395 included the gain on the sale of
some equipment as well as items of miscellaneous nature. In the preceding
year, only items of a sundry nature comprised the total of $44,452.
The above factors resulted in income before income taxes of $315,236
in the first quarter this year versus $38,773 for the comparable period last
year.
The Company's effective tax rate was 38% for the current quarter this
year as well as last year.
After providing for taxes and recognizing the minority interest in the
Chinese joint venture, the Company's net income was $188,412 this quarter
versus $24,073 last year.
-8-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the Company is anticipating continuous growth, additional
borrowings may be necessary to finance further working capital needs as well
as additional capital expenditures.
In December 1995, the Company negotiated a $5,000,000 unsecured line
of credit under its revolving credit facility that expires December 31,
1997. At September 29, 1996, the unused commitment amounted to $975,000.
In October 1996, the Company received an additional unsecured line of
credit of $2,000,000 to be used exclusively for the purchase of capital
equipment. The Company may borrow monies up to $2,000,000 under a revolving
credit facility through October 1997. In October 1997, the line converts to
a term loan arrangement.
The two lines of credit, together with anticipated positive cash flow
from operations, should be adequate to satisfy the Company's foreseeable
needs.
Deferred compensation payments cannot presently be determined.
Amounts, if any, which may be paid within one year are not material and
should have little impact upon the Company's cash position.
"Safe Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995
This report contains certain forward-looking statements. The
Company's actual results of operations may differ significantly from those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors beyond its control, including, but not limited to, economic
conditions in the electronics industry, particularly in the principal
industry sectors served by the Company, changes in customer requirements and
in the volume of sales to principal customers, competition and technological
change.
