Although reasonable estimates of these results can be made, the Company is and its auditors must still complete a technical review of the financial statements as well as the Form 10-K. Due to decreased staffing levels during the holiday season, there are fewer Company personnel as well as other resources available to complete such reviews. The Company's unaudited results of operations for fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995 are expected to be as follows: Fiscal Year Ending September 30, -------------------------------- 1996 1995 --------- --------- Net sales $ 90,290 $ 308,133 Cost of sales 77,382 302,937 Operating expenses: Research and development 7,478 19,310 Selling, general and administrative 25,886 90,068 Income (loss) from operations (20,456) (104,182) Other income (expense) 20,296 (6,068) Income (loss) before income taxes (160) (122,672) Provision for income taxes 815 9,070 --------- --------- Net income (loss) $ (975) $(131,742) --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) per share $ (0.05) $ (8.75) --------- --------- --------- --------- Common and common equivalent shares used in computing net income (loss) per share 21,251 15,049 --------- --------- --------- --------- NET SALES. Net sales for fiscal 1996 decreased to $90.3 million from $308.1 million in fiscal 1995. This decline was primarily due to the Company's efforts to refocus its business which included exiting markets for high-volume low-margin displays, reduced sales of the Company's video and graphics products caused by Apple's shift from Nubus to PCI Bus computers, business divestitures 4 and as a result of entering into exclusive distributor arrangements for Japan and Europe effective April 1, 1996 and July 1, 1996, respectively, which relationships provide for the Company to receive as net sales, a percentage of the sales price of each product sold by those distributors. As a result of the sale by the Company of its Color Server Group, the Company recorded no net sales from sales of color server products after the second quarter of its 1996 fiscal year and recorded approximately $7.0 million of net sales for the first quarter of its 1996 fiscal year. The Company anticipates significantly lower overall net sales in the immediate future as a result of the Company's decision to focus its efforts on providing solutions for high end digital video and graphics customers, discontinue selling mass market displays and other low value added products, and the divestiture of certain businesses such as its color server group and MacOS compatible systems. The Company sold its Color Server Group in January 1996 and sold its MacOS business in February 1996. Net sales from the Color Server Group were approximately $7.0 million for fiscal 1996 and approximately $29.3 million for fiscal 1995 and net sales from the MacOS business were approximately $1.5 million for fiscal 1996 and $21.8 million for fiscal 1995. Had the net sales of these businesses not been included in the Company's net sales for fiscal 1996 or fiscal 1995, the Company's net sales for such periods would have been approximately $84.8 million and $257.0 million for fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively. GROSS PROFIT. The Company's gross profit margin was 14.3% for fiscal 1996, as compared with 1.7% for fiscal 1995. Included in fiscal 1996 is a one time charge of $3.5 million resulting from the Company's financial structuring completed in September 1996. Excluding this one time charge, the restructuring and other charges recorded in fiscal 1995, gross profit margin in fiscal 1996 was 18.2% compared to 16.9% in fiscal 1995. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses decreased from $19.3 million for fiscal 1995 to $7.5 million for fiscal 1996. The Company decreased its research and development expenses primarily by reducing expenses related to headcount resulting from the Company's efforts to refocus its business and business divestitures. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $90.1 million for fiscal 1995 to $25.9 million for fiscal 1996. The Company decreased its selling, general and administrative expenses primarily by reducing expenses related to headcount resulting from the Company's efforts to refocus its business and business divestitures. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 reflected a reduction of approximately $2.1 million of merger-related restructuring reserves to reflect current requirements. 5 OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) NET. Other income was $20.3 million for fiscal 1996, as compared to other expense of $6.1 million for fiscal 1995. The increase was due primarily to other income of approximately $23.8 million resulting from the Company's divestitures of three business lines, including its Color Server Group, partially offset by approximately $3.7 million in interest expense on amounts outstanding under the Company's loan agreements. 6
