INTERFACE SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim consolidated financial statements of Interface Systems, Inc. have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1996 and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the entire year. NOTE B - BORROWINGS On February 19, 1997, the Company renewed its credit facilities with a bank which provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $11.5 million. As of June 30, 1997, $9.1 million was outstanding under these facilities. Advances under these facilities bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at June 30, 1997) plus 1/2%, are payable on demand and are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The credit facilities expire August 31, 1997 and are subject to renewal thereafter. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum working capital, net worth and profitability levels and other specific financial ratios. In addition, the agreements prohibit the payment of cash dividends and contain certain restrictions on the Company's ability to borrow money or purchase assets or interests in other entities without the prior written consent of the bank. NOTE C - TREASURY SHARES ACQUIRED In January 1997, the Company acquired 127,495 shares of its Common Stock valued at $637,476, upon the default in payment of all principal and interest due and owing as of such date by a former officer of the Company under the terms of a note payable owed by such officer to the Company. The value of the shares is equal to all indebtedness which was owed to the Company at the time of default. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Net Revenues. Revenues for the third quarter ended June 30, 1997 were $19.2 million, an increase of 15.0% over revenues of $16.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 were $62.1 million, an increase of 8.4% over revenues of $57.3 million for the same period of fiscal 1996. The increases for both the quarter and nine month periods were primarily due to increased distribution revenue of Interface Systems International Ltd. ("ISIL") and increased sales of Enterprise Networking core products, offset by a decrease in sales of printer products. Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues were $20.6 million and $14.5 million, or 106.8% and 87.4% of net revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, cost of revenues included non-recurring charges of $4.6 million consisting of a $1.3 million write-off of capitalized software development; a $1.4 million reserve for ISIL slow moving inventory and fair market value reductions due to a decline in market conditions and continued product price erosion; a $1.1 million write-off that resulted from several accounting errors related to the recording of inventory at ISIL; and $800,000 in various adjustments resulting from an audit, which is in process, of the June 30, 1997 balance sheet of the ISIL distribution business. As a result of the accounting errors, the Company is taking corrective action, including the balance sheet audit discussed above. Cost of revenues were $59.0 million and $48.3 million, or 94.9% and 84.4% of net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, cost of revenues included non-recurring charges of $6.2 million consisting of the charges discussed above, and in addition, a $1.4 million reserve for printer inventory and a $320,000 write-off of capitalized software development costs. Cost of revenues for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1997, excluding the effect of the non-recurring charges, was 82.9% and 84.9% of net revenues, respectively. Excluding the effect of the non-recurring charges, cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues for the third quarter declined due to higher sales of core business software products which have higher gross profit margins. Product Development Costs. Product development costs were $1.0 million and $544,000, or 5.0% and 3.3% of net revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Product development costs were $2.1 million and $1.4 million, or 3.3% and 2.5% of net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The absolute dollar increase for both periods primarily reflects a decrease of $460,000 and $560,000 in the amount of expense deferred through capitalization of internally developed software for the quarter and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 as compared with the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.4 million and $3.4 million, or 28.1% and 20.2% of net revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.8 million and $8.3 million, or 19.0% and 14.6% of net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The absolute dollar increase for the third quarter was primarily due to the write-off of $1.5 million in goodwill related to the Company's investment in its operations in the United Kingdom. For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the absolute dollar increase was due to the goodwill write-off, increased selling and marketing personnel in the United Kingdom to support the growth in ISIL's distribution business and to various expenses associated with an interim management team, the hiring of a new CEO in January 1997 and other organizational and management changes. In addition, the increase for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 is due to marketing expenses incurred to promote the Company's Oasis products. In July, 1997, the ISIL operations were restructured into two separate units, distribution and core, to focus each unit on its respective market and on a return to profitability. Separate managing directors have been appointed to run the new operating units. In addition, the combined ISIL workforce was reduced by 15 employees, or approximately 18%. The reductions were made in July 1997, and the related expense will be taken in the fourth quarter. Interest Expense. For the third quarter of fiscal 1997, interest expense increased to $200,000 from $113,000 for the same period of 1996. For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, interest expense increased to $515,000 from $330,000 for the same period of 1996. The increases were due to increased borrowing, primarily at ISIL for working capital purposes. Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the quarter and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 was a benefit of 11.1% and 15.5%, respectively. The tax benefit for these periods was below the statutory rate because the losses at ISIL and the goodwill write-off are not eligible for tax benefit. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 1997, the Company's primary sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $642,000 and short-term credit facilities with a bank providing for $11.5 million of borrowings, of which $2.4 million was available. For the first nine months of fiscal 1997, net cash of $3.3 million was used in operating activities compared to net cash of $1.1 million used in operating activities for the same period of fiscal 1996. Cash was used in operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of net operating losses for the period and increased accounts receivable partially offset by decreased inventory and non-cash charges. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared with $3.4 million for the same period of fiscal 1996. In February 1997, the Company renewed its credit facilities with a bank which provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $11.5 million. As of June 30, 1997, $9.2 million was outstanding under these facilities. The borrowings are used primarily by ISIL in the operation of its distribution business. Advances under these facilities bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1/2%, are payable on demand and are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The credit facilities expire August 31, 1997 and are subject to renewal thereafter. The Company currently is conducting discussions with the bank to renew the credit facilities. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum working capital, net worth and profitability levels and other specific financial ratios. The Company was in violation of the minimum net worth covenant of the credit facilities at June 30, 1997. The bank waived this default through an amendment to the facilities, which amendment also changed the minimum net worth requirement. In addition, the agreements prohibit the payment of cash dividends and contain certain restrictions on the Company's ability to borrow money or purchase assets or interests in other entities without the prior written consent of the bank. The Company believes that its existing cash balances, available credit facility and future operating cash flows are sufficient for near term operating needs. The Company believes it will renew the bank credit facilities prior to expiration of the facilities. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Not applicable.
