Notes to Financial Statements
-------------------
1. In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for results for
such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited
financial statements included in its 1999 Form 10-K.
2. The earnings per share computations for the six months ended December 31,
1999 were based on 1,050,754 shares and on 1,106,557 shares for December
31, 1998. These represent the average number of shares outstanding for
each respective period.
3. Other income consists principally of interest on Certificates of Deposit,
Treasury Bills, money market accounts and dividends on equity securities.
4. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
5. In fiscal 1989 the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) for eligible non-union employees. The ESOP used the proceeds of a
loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common
stock for approximately $8.4 million and the Company contributed
approximately $400,000 to the ESOP which was used by the ESOP to purchase
an additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual
- 5 -
installments of $1,039,605, including interest, through June 30, 2004.
Interest is payable at a rate of 9% per annum. The Company's receivable
from the ESOP is recorded as common stock subscribed in the accompanying
balance sheets.
Each year, the Company will make contributions to the ESOP which will be
used to make loan interest and principal payments. With each loan and
interest payment, a portion of the common stock will be allocated to
participating employees. As of December 31, 1999 there were 161,125
shares allocated to participants.

7. Stock Options
On October 29, 1999, the Board of Directors approved, subject to
shareholder approval, the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the Plan). Under the
Plan and related incentive stock option agreements, options will be
granted to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an
exercise price not less than the fair value of a share of such common
stock at the date of the grant and vest over a period not to exceed ten
years as will be determined by the Option Committee which will administer
the Plan. Non-Qualified stock options will be issued in accordance with
the plan.
The Company will apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for the stock
option plans and determine the necessary pro forma disclosure
information required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". No options have been
granted under the plan. Shareholders approved the Plan at the Annual
Meeting on January 4, 2000.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operation
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999 were $6,711,404 as compared
to $5,658,362 for the same period in 1998. Net sales for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 were $3,412,424 as compared to $3,134,377 for the same period
in 1998. The Company's increase in sales for the three and six month periods
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to December 31, 1998 is largely due to
increased commercial power supply and radar test equipment sales. Due to
successful marketing efforts with new and existing customers the Company should
continue to see increased net sales levels as backlog orders are completed and
shipped.
Net income for the six months ended December 31, 1999 was $86,688 or $.08 per
share compared to $250,152 or $.23 per share for the corresponding period ended
December 31, 1998.
During the first six months of fiscal 2000 gross profits as a percentage of
sales decreased approximately 4.5% as compared with the first six months of
fiscal 1999.
The primary reason for the decrease in gross profit and net income was product
mix, higher employee related expenses and an overall increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses. Management continues to expand the
Company's workforce to ensure that production and overall execution of the large
increase in backlog orders and additional anticipated orders are successfully
performed. Present employment has exceeded 225 people as compared to December
31, 1998 when 175 people were employed. Several of these employees require on
the job training prior to working at maximum efficiency. The benefits of this
training should begin to positively impact operations in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000.
The Company continues to diversify its customer base and product line. The
backlog at December 31, 1999 was approximately $28,600,000 an increase of
approximately 62% over the prior year. The Company continues to increase the
backlog while increasing current sales levels. Management presently anticipates
that the Company will realize both an increase in revenues and income in fiscal
2000, however, there can be no assurances made since such a forward-looking
statement is subject to future events.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,025,951 for the six months
ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $87,433, or 9.3%, as compared to the six
months ended December 31, 1998. The increase is primarily due to an increase in
selling expenses offset partially by a decrease in professional fees. This
increase was expected as the Company continues to add employees to increase and
manage the continued growth in sales and order backlog.
Other income for the three and six months ended December 31, 1999 remained
relatively the same as compared to the three and six months ended December 31,
1998. The Company does not believe there is any significant risk associated with
its investment policy, since a majority of the investments are represented by
United States Government Treasury Securities, preferred equity securities, and a
money market account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had working capital of $20.4 million
compared to $20.6 million at December 31, 1998. The Company meets its short-term
financing needs through cash from operations and when necessary, from its
existing cash and short term investments.
- 7 -
The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the periods indicated:
Six Months Ended December 31,
-----------------------------
1999 1998
-------- --------
Net cash provided by(used in) operating activities $ 2,162,555 (274,944)
Net cash provided by(used in) investing activities .. 2,553,819 (203,548)
Net cash (used in) financing activities .. (298,086) (120,464)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities fluctuates between periods
primarily as a result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection
of accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, level of sales and payment of
accounts payable. The increase in net cash provided by (used in) investing
activities is due to the maturity of investment securities with no offsetting
purchase of new investments. The increase in net cash used in financing
activities is due to the quarterly dividend payment and increased treasury stock
purchases.
The Company currently believes that the cash generated from operations and when
necessary, from cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its
long-term funding requirements. Management is currently analyzing the need for a
line of credit to help fund further growth. For the first half of fiscal 2000
capital expenditures were approximately $361,000.
Since the debt of the Company's ESOP is not to an outside party the Company has
eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Income the offsetting items of
interest income and interest expenses relating to ESOP. The Company has
eliminated the offsetting accruals from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the six months ended December 31, 1999 the Company repurchased 15,027
shares of its common stock from the Company's ESOP and through other public
transactions. Under existing authorizations, as of December 31, 1999, 57,473
shares could be repurchased at a price not to exceed $13.50. Under this
authorization, on February 8, 2000 the company repurchased an additional 5000
shares of common stock.
Year 2000 Issues
The Company's information technology systems successfully completed the "roll
over" to the year 2000. The transition resulted in no adverse or negative impact
on operations. The company believes that the risk addociated with the year 2000
problem has been identified and eliminated. The Company will continue to
evaluate the 2000 readiness of its business systems and significant vendors to
ensure a complete transition through the year 2000. The estimated total cost of
the year 2000 assessment and remediation plan has been less than $25,000.
