Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that its disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the three and nine-month periods ended December 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. (2) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following: March 25, 1995 December 30,1995 Raw materials and work-in process $5,288,966 $5,832,177 Finished goods 3,437,978 3,088,158 ----------- ----------- $8,726,944 $8,920,335 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. (3) Net Income Per Common Share Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares (stock options) have not been considered in the calculation of earnings per share as their effect would not be significant. Fully diluted earnings per share have not been presented as the amounts would not differ significantly from primary earnings per share. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations The following table sets forth the results of operations for the three- month and nine-month periods ended December 24, 1994 and December 30, 1995 expressed as percentages of net sales. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- December 24, December 30, December 24, December 30, 1994 1995 1994 1995 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods sold 55.6 57.2 55.5 56.6 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross profit 44.4 42.8 44.5 43.4 ----- ----- ----- ----- Selling and marketing expenses 12.4 11.5 12.7 12.2 General & administrative expenses 5.1 4.8 5.8 5.1 Engineering & development expenses 4.2 4.8 4.8 5.1 ----- ----- ----- ----- 21.7 21.1 23.3 22.4 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income from operations 22.7 21.7 21.2 21.0 Interest income 1.4 1.5 1.9 1.7 ----- ----- ----- ----- Income before provision for income taxes 24.1 23.2 23.1 22.7 Provision for income taxes 8.7 7.6 8.3 7.4 ----- ----- ----- ----- Net income 15.4% 15.6% 14.8% 15.3% ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Net sales increased 12 percent, from approximately $12,126,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 1995 to approximately $13,558,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 1996. For the nine months ended December 30, 1995 net sales increased 16% from approximately $30,164,000 to approximately $35,068,000. The third quarter of fiscal 1996 covers 14 weeks of sales and earnings compared to 13 weeks for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. During the quarter, the Company introduced two new Lynnfield VR Series of products. Shipments of the VR10 center channel and the VR2000 powered subwoofer, with suggested retail prices of $300 and $1200, respectively, began in November 1995. In addition, sales increases in the home and automotive loudspeaker categories, both domestically and to international distributors, 9 contributed to the overall sales increase during the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 30, 1995. The Company's gross margin for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 30, 1995 decreased as a percentage of net sales due primarily to a shift in the sales mix to loudspeaker models with slightly lower margins, as well as to increased labor and related expenses and costs associated with temporary additional offsite warehousing. Total operating expenses increased in absolute dollars but decreased as a percentage of net sales during both the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 1995. Selling and marketing expenses have decreased as a percentage of net sales primarily due to lower advertising and literature expenditures as compared to the corresponding three-month and nine-month periods in the preceding fiscal year. General and administrative expenses have remained relatively stable in absolute dollars and as a result have decreased as a percentage of net sales for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 30, 1995. Engineering and development expenses as a percentage of net sales and in absolute dollars have increased primarily due to increased salaries and benefits relating to additional personnel, as well as increases in the cost of materials and supplies relating to new product development. Interest income has decreased as a percentage of net sales for the nine- month period ended December 30, 1995 due primarily to long-term investments maturing and designated for capital expenditures during fiscal 1996. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 36% for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 24, 1994 to approximately 32.7% for the three-month and 32.5% for the nine-month period ended December 30, 1995, primarily due to a lower effective state tax rate resulting from the favorable tax treatment afforded the Company's foreign sales corporation and Massachusetts securities corporation, as well as to tax credits relating to capital expenditures. Net income for the third quarter increased 13% from approximately $1,873,000 in fiscal 1995 to $2,120,000 in fiscal 1996 while earnings per share increased 11% from $.44 to $.49 per share. Net income for the nine-month period ended December 30, 1995 increased 21% from approximately $4,454,000 in fiscal 1995 to approximately $5,375,000 in fiscal 1996, while earnings per share for the nine-month period increased 19% from $1.04 to $1.24 per share. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company financed its growth with cash generated by operations. As of December 30, 1995 the Company's working capital was approximately $27,382,000. The Company's cash and cash equivalents were approximately $4,407,000, short-term investments were approximately $7,237,000, and long-term investments were approximately $2,292,000. The Company also has a $1,500,000 unsecured bank line of credit. The Company has had no borrowings under any line of credit since December 1985. During 1995, the Company purchased two adjacent parcels of land for approximately $1.2 million. In April 1995, the Company purchased a third adjacent parcel of land for approximately $255,000. The Company has begun construction of its new manufacturing and office facility on this land. A total of $6 million of working capital is expected to be used to construct this facility with approximately $4.7 million used since construction began in June 1995. Full occupancy is expected by the end of fiscal 1996. The Company believes that its resources are adequate to meet its requirements for working capital and capital expenditures through the next twelve months. 10 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
