Earnings (loss) Per Share Primary earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. For the periods ending May 30, 1997, conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures would not have an effect on the net loss per share since the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the periods ending May 31, 1996, fully diluted earnings per share assumed conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from these estimates. FISCAL YEAR The Company uses a fifty-two, fifty-three week year. The fiscal year ends on the Friday closest to August 31. Fiscal years 1997 and 1996 contain fifty-two weeks.

Deferred tax assets increased $488,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997. At May 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $2,652,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2009, 2010 and 2012; and $137,000 of alternative minimum tax credits and $159,000 of other federal tax credits expiring through 2004 available to offset future tax liabilities. 9 WEGENER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended August 30, 1996 contained in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain statements contained in this filing are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to financial results, plans for future business development activities, capital spending or financing sources, capital structure and the effects of regulation and competition, and are thus prospective. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, product demand, governmental regulation and technological developments, competition and other uncertainties detailed in this report, the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended August 30, 1996 and from time to time in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Company manufactures satellite communications equipment through Wegener Communications, Inc. (WCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary. WCI designs and manufactures communications transmission and receiving equipment for the business broadcast, data communications, cable and broadcast radio and television industries. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1996 For the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997, the Company had net losses of $(997,000) or $(0.10) per share and $(867,000) or $(0.09) per share respectively, compared to net earnings of $181,000 or $0.02 per share and $433,000 or $0.05 per share for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1996. Revenues--The Company's revenues for the three months ended May 30, 1997 were $3,870,000, down 26.0% from revenues of $5,228,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1996. Revenues were $15,191,000 for the nine months ended May 30, 1997, an increase of less than 1% from revenues of $15,137,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 1996. Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) revenues decreased 39.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and increased 7.4% in the nine months ended May 30, 1997 compared to the same periods of fiscal 1996. DBS revenues in the three and nine month periods were adversely affected by late deliveries of scheduled third quarter shipments and lower than expected orders of the digital video product line. Telecom and Custom Product Group revenues increased 13.5% in the third quarter and decreased 20.4% in the nine months ended May 30, 1997 compared to the same periods of fiscal 1996. The increase in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 is due to increased shipments of cueing and control equipment to up-grade a private audio and 10 video network. The decrease in the nine months of fiscal 1997 is due to a higher level of shipments in the nine months of fiscal 1996 of uplink equipment to radio networks for conversion from analog to digital broadcasting. WCI's eighteen (18) month order backlog was approximately $19,256,000 as of May 30, 1997, compared to $13,807,000 as of August 30, 1996, and $12,525,000 as of May 31, 1996. Gross Profit Margins--The Company's gross profit margins were 11.7% and 26.5% for the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997 compared to 38.5% and 36.2% for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1996. The decrease in profit margin percentages for the periods were mainly due to: (1) a decrease in revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the same period of fiscal 1996 which resulted in absorbing fixed overhead costs over a lower revenue base; and, (2) a lower margin product mix in the three and nine month periods of fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996. Additionally, for the nine month period ended May 30, 1997, profit margin percentages were adversely impacted by start-up costs associated with the introduction of new digital video products and higher than expected material component costs of certain products. Selling, General and Administrative--Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $1,375,000 and $3,412,000 for the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997 compared to $916,000 and $2,680,000 for the same periods of fiscal 1996, an increase of 50.1% and 27.3%, respectively. The increases in expenses for the three and nine month periods are due to higher levels of compensation, selling and marketing expenses, depreciation and amortization, and provision for bad debt expenses compared to the same periods of fiscal 1996. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses were 35.5% and 22.5% for the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997 compared to 17.5% and 17.7% for the same periods of fiscal 1996. The increases in percentages for the three and nine months ended May 30, 1997 compared to the same periods of fiscal 1996 are due to lower revenues and higher expense levels. Research and Development--Research and development expenditures, including capitalized software development costs, were $808,000 and $2,281,000 for the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997, compared to $854,000 and $2,432,000 for the same periods of fiscal 1996. Capitalized software development costs amounted to $294,000 and $764,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to $112,000 and $501,000 for the same periods of fiscal 1996. The decrease in expenditures is primarily due to higher consulting and proto-type material costs incurred in the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 1996 for the development of digital video products. The Company remains committed to such research and development expenditures as are required to effectively compete and maintain pace with the rapid technological changes in the communications industry and to support innovative engineering and design in its future products. The Company's ability to continue the rapid development of new digital products is directly tied to its ability to obtain additional funding, if required. Interest Expense--Interest expense decreased 27.0% and 6.8% in the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997 compared to the same periods of fiscal 1996 primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate which was partially offset by an increase in the average outstanding borrowings. Income Tax Expense--For the three and nine month periods ended May 30, 1997, income tax (benefits) were $(568,000) and $(488,000) respectively, compared to none for the same periods of fiscal 1996. There was no income tax expense for the three and nine month periods of fiscal 1996 due to a decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 30, 1997 During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, operating activities provided cash of $4,666,000. Accounts receivable and inventory decreases provided cash of $3,460,000 and $1,186,000, respectively. Decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses used cash of $2,347,000 while an increase in customer deposits provided cash of $2,379,000. Cash used by investing activities for property and equipment expenditures and capitalized software additions was $1,638,000. Financing activities used cash of $1,530,000 for a reduction of the line-of-credit to a zero balance and $417,000 for scheduled repayments of long-term obligations. At May 30, 1997, approximately $3,296,000 was available to borrow under the line-of-credit advance formulas based on eligible collateral of accounts receivable and inventory. At May 30, 1997, the line-of-credit had no balance outstanding compared to a balance of $1,530,000 at August 30, 1996. The revolving line-of-credit, expiring May 4, 1999 or upon demand, has a maximum available credit limit of $7,500,000 subject to availability advance formulas of 80% against eligible accounts receivable; 20% of eligible raw material and work-in-process kit inventories; and 40% to 50% of eligible finished goods inventories. Advances against inventory are subject to a sublimit of $2,000,000. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate (8.50% at May 30, 1997) plus 1/2%. In addition, the line-of-credit provides for a term loan facility bearing interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1 1/2%, for up to $1,000,000 for advances of up to 80% of the cost of equipment acquisitions. No advances have been made on the term loan at May 30, 1997. During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, $3,850,000 principal amount of convertible debentures (issued in May, 1996) were converted into 2,131,987 shares of common stock and debentures in the amount of $101,222 were issued for payment of accrued interest. During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company filed a Registration Statement to register up to an additional 2,530,000 shares of common stock for resale following conversion of debentures. These shares, together with the 1,150,000 shares originally registered, constitutes management's estimate of the maximum number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion, giving effect to possible fluctuations in the market price of the common stock. At May 30, 1997, $1,285,000 principal amount of convertible debentures remained outstanding. Depending on the level of revenues and profitability in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998 additional funds for working capital may be required. The Company believes that additional funds will be available, if required, through a private placement or a public offering of additional shares of common stock or through additional borrowing. If additional financing is required and is not available, management of the Company is committed to cutting the necessary costs throughout the organization and limiting certain planned programs in order to keep cash requirements within the current line-of-credit availability. This action would very likely result in lower revenues. This would ultimately impact the level of expenditures available for research and development expenses. However, management believes that suitable financing will be successfully obtained if required. 12 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
