MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of approximately $3,975,598 which included $1,000.000 of commission income from GE/Pruka that was collected in July. At December 31, 1999, working capital was approximately $2,174,000, which had been reduced by $580,000 of bonds payable classified in 2000 as non-current following a two-year extension of the maturity date of the bonds. The Company has available $800,000 of borrowing under a working capital line of credit with a bank, collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory, which bears interest at the bank "base rate" (prime). The working capital line of credit had no outstanding balance at June 30, 2000. The Company's lines of credit are its primary source of operating funds and liquidity. The Company renewed a $600,000 private placement bond, which was due to mature May 31, 2000. The bondholders also accepted an extension until May 31, 2002 for warrants to acquire 231,800 shares of the Company's stock at $1.50 per share. The bonds are subordinated to the bank's line of credit, carry an 11% interest rate and mature May 31, 2002. Capital expenditures, net of disposals, for the first six months of 2000 were approximately $151,000 compared to $284,000 in 1999. Machinery and equipment acquisitions to startup a new polymer line in early 2000 totaled $379,000. The polymer line was discontinued in early 2000 and the assets held for sale. In July, major components of this discontinued operation were sold with no appreciable loss. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TOTAL REVENUES for the second quarter of 2000 was $2,863,091 and net income was $644,842. Included in these results was $1,000,000 of revenue ($760,000 net of tax) attributed to the termination of a commission agreement with GE/Pruka. The commission agreement covering sales of Cardio Lab systems was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2002, however, GE/Pruka negotiated to buy out the remainder of the contract with no further obligations to either party. Excluding the commissions from GE/Pruka in the second quarter for both years, the revenue was $1,863,091 and the net (loss) was ($115,158) for 2000 compared to revenue of $2,593,625 and net income of $88,764 in 1999. The majority of the $730,534 decline in sales occurred in Micron products of sensors and snaps. This change was the result of customers building inventory in the first quarter and reducing orders in the second quarter. Legal expenses of $90,821 were incurred in the second quarter in connection with the environmental investigation by the Attorney General's office of Massachusetts. The company has been informed the investigation has concluded with no adverse actions. The drop in net income 7 due to lower sales was partially offset by savings from closing down a startup polymer line in early 2000 and the contraction of operations in the Texas facility. For the six-month period ended June 30, the revenues and net income were $5,406,917 and $746,573 for 2000 compared to $5,364,454 and $196,251 in 1999. Again excluding the commissions from GE/Pruka in both years, revenue and net (loss) were $4,406,917 and $13,427 for 2000 compared to $5,109,435 and $27,938 in 1999. Two major Micron customers accounted for the lower revenue, a portion is expected to be recovered in the second half of 2000. Legal expenses of $121,710 were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2000 in connection with the environmental investigation by the Attorney General's office of Massachusetts. All significant legal costs associated with the investigation have been expensed in the first six months of 2000. Net income improved slightly due to cost savings at both the Texas and Massachusetts operations and reduced Federal taxes due to the higher utilization of deferred tax deductions as a result of the large prepayment of commission income to terminate the GE/Pruka agreement. Domestic and foreign sales for the second quarter and six months are as follows: SECOND QUARTER FIRST SIX MONTHS 2000 % 1999 % 2000 % 1999 % ---- - ---- - ---- - ---- - Domestic..... $1,557,879 54 $1,262,910 43 $2,330,178 43 $2,506,713 47 Foreign...... 1,305,212 46 1,659,861 57 3,076,739 57 2,858,741 53 --------- --------- ---------- --------- Total......... $2,863,091 100 $2,922,771 100 $5,406,917 100 $5,365,454 100 ========== ==== ========== === ========== === ========== === The higher percentage of foreign sales in 2000 compared to 1999 reflects the transfer of production of a major Micron customer who closed a U.S. plant and moved it's volume into a Canadian plant. For six months in 1999, the U.S. plant had $347,639 included in domestic sales. COST OF SALES as a percent of sales increased 5.1% for the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999, exclusive of the effect of the CardioLab commissions from GE/Pruka. This was due to an $871,478 or 32% drop in Micron Products sales resulting in significant unabsorbed manufacturing overhead. For the six month periods, cost of sales improved by 2.2%. SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES for the second quarter of 2000 are $52,155 or 69% below those of 1999 reflecting recent cuts in direct sales staff until a new generation of signal-averaging products is available for market introduction. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES in 2000 have increased approximately 20% over 1999 in an endeavor to accelerate the completion time and competitiveness of new software applications for ART's signal-averaging product. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were $605,622 for the second quarter of 2000 compared to $537,752 for the second quarter of 1999 and $1,092,760 for the six months of 2000 compared to $1,038,579 for the six months of 1999. The increase are attributed to legal expenses of $90,821 in the second quarter of 2000 and $121,710 for the six months of 2000. These legal expenses were incurred in connection with the environmental investigation by the Attorney General's office of Massachusetts. The Company has been informed the investigation has concluded with no adverse actions. All significant legal costs associated with the investigation have been expensed in the first six months of 2000. INCOME TAXES as a percent of income before taxes in the second quarter were 22% for 2000 and 42% for 1999 and for the six months were 24% for 2000 and 45% in 1999. At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $2,243,000 in potential tax deductions which has a recorded tax asset value of $424,000. The unplanned receipt of the commission income of $1,000,000 has resulted in a higher utilization of the unused tax deductions and the current tax provision has been reduced to reflect this favorable tax reduction in 2000. 8 SAFE HARBOR UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. Any forward looking statements made herein are based on current expectations of the Company that involves a number of risks and uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees of future performance. These statements are made under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: interruptions or cancellation of existing contracts, impact of competitive products and pricing, product demand and market acceptance risks, the presence of competitors with greater financial resources than the Company, product development and commercialization risks and an inability to arrange additional debt or equity financing. 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - In March 2000, Astro-Med, Inc. ("Astro-Med") filed suit against ART in Superior Court of Kent County, Rhode Island (the "RI Litigation) alleging breach of contract, book account and unjust enrichment. The suit is based upon the purchase by ART of the K-3 hemodynamic monitoring system product line from Astro-Med. In April 1997, ART and Astro-Med entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). In September 1999 ART ceased to make payments to Astro-Med pursuant to the Agreement. Astro-Med claims that ART is indebted to Astro-Med in the principal amount of $178,279, plus interest and late fees. ART has removed the RI Litigation to the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island and has filed a motion to dismiss. In July, ART's motion to dismiss was denied. ART has filed a complaint and counter claim for breach of warranty. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES - NONE ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES - NONE ITEM 4.
