NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The information
furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto filed with Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
Note 2: Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share amounts for all periods reflect a 5% stock dividend paid on
June 9, 1997.
Note 3: Acquisitions
On July 17, 1997, the Company consummated its acquisition of 65% of Lite-On
Power Semiconductor Corporation, a Republic of China (Taiwan) company ("LPSC"),
and a member of Taiwan's Lite-On Group of companies, for a net cash purchase
price of approximately US$130 million.
LPSC produces diodes, primarily in the Far East, with manufacturing facilities
in Taipei, Taiwan; Shanghai, China; and Lee's Summit, Missouri. LPSC also owns
approximately 40.2% of Diodes, Inc. (AMEX: DIO), located in Westlake,
California. Diodes is a U.S. public company traded on the American Stock
Exchange.
Diodes are discrete semiconductor components used to convert electrical currents
from AC to DC and are used in all electronic equipment that requires such
conversion.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 25, 1997, among LPSC,
Silitek Corporation ("Silitek"), Lite-On Technology Corporation, Dyna Investment
Co., Ltd., Lite-On Inc. and other shareholders' as Sellers, and the Company, as
Purchaser (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Company, through two Singapore
entities, acquired approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of LPSC for cash consideration of US$200 million. The purchase was
made by a Singapore company (the "Joint Venture Company"), whose capital stock
at the time of the acquisition was 50% owned directly by the Company, and 50%
owned by another Singapore company ( the "Holding Company"), which at the time
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Concurrently with the consummation of the acquisition, pursuant to the terms of
the Joint Venture Agreement, dated April 25, 1997,
-8-
between the Company and a company formed by Silitek and certain other
shareholders of LPSC, Lite-On JV Corporation, ("JV"), which agreement was
amended as of July 17, 1997 (as amended, the "Joint Venture Agreement"), JV
purchased from the Company 35% of its interest in the Holding Company and 17.5%
in the Joint Venture Company for cash consideration of $70 million.
In connection therewith, JV received stock appreciation rights("SARs") in the
Company, which represent the right to receive in stock the increase in value on
the equivalent of 1,625,000 shares of the Company's stock above $23 per share.
Subject to certain annual and other adjustments, the Company may redeem the SARs
if the Company's stock trades above $43 per share. At that price, the SAR's
would entitle JV to 755,813 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Joint Venture Agreement also defines the terms of the management of LPSC and
its subsidiaries and the agreement between the Company and JV to market the
Company's products in Asia and LPSC's products throughout the world.
The results of operations of LPSC have been included in the Company's results
from July 1, 1997. Excess of cost over the fair value of assets ($108,355,000)
is being amortized on a straight-line method over an estimated useful life not
to exceed forty years.
The Company financed the cash portion ($130 million) of the LPSC acquisition
from current availability under the Company's credit facilities.
During the period, the Company further amended its credit facilities in
connection with, among other things, adjusting certain financial covenants and
extending the maturity dates of the credit facilities.
The summary of the amendment to the Company's credit facilities is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the text of such amendment, which is filed as an
exhibit hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Income statement captions as a percentage of sales and the effective tax rates
were as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30 September 30
1997 1996 1997 1996
---- ---- ---- ----
Costs of products sold 75.3% 76.5% 75.7% 74.2%
Gross profit 24.7 23.5 24.3 25.8
Selling, general and
administrative expenses 12.4 13.8 12.4 13.6
Operating income 11.5 9.1 11.3 8.8
Earnings before income taxes 9.8 7.5 10.0 7.3
Effective tax rate 26.3 25.2 27.2 25.2
Net earnings 7.3 5.6 7.3 5.5
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased $25,463,000 or 9.8%
from the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in net sales relates
primarily to the acquisition of LPSC. Net sales of LPSC for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 were $19,634,000. Exclusive of LPSC, net sales would have
increased by $5,829,000 or 2.2%. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against
foreign currencies for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 in comparison to the
prior year's quarter, resulted in a decrease in reported sales of $17,196,000.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 decreased $12,776,000 or
1.5% from the comparable period of the prior year. The strengthening of the U.S.
dollar against foreign currencies for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
in comparison to the prior year's period, resulted in a decrease in reported
sales of $41,483,000.
Costs of products sold for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
were 75.3% and 75.7% of net sales, respectively, as compared to 76.5% and 74.2%,
respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. Gross profit, as a
percentage of net sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased from
the comparable prior year period mainly due to the restructuring programs taken
in 1996 to reduce manufacturing costs. The acquisition of LPSC did not have a
material impact on the gross margins of the Company. The gross profits for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the prior year period, were
negatively affected by a difficult pricing environment.
Israeli government grants, recorded as a reduction of costs of products sold,
were $2,970,000 and $8,395,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997, respectively, as compared to $2,215,000 and $6,416,000 for the
comparable prior year periods. Future grants and other incentive programs
offered to the Company by the Israeli government will likely depend on the
Company's continuing to increase capital investment and the number of the
Company's employees in Israel. Deferred income at September 30, 1997 relating to
Israeli government grants was $62,638,000 as compared to $58,570,000 at December
31, 1996.
-10-
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 were 12.4% of net sales, as compared to 13.8% and
13.6%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. LPSC's selling,
general and administrative expenses did not have a material impact to the
Company. Exclusive of LPSC's selling, general, and administrative expenses, the
expenses decreased by $2,497,000 and $13,721,000, respectively, as compared to
the prior year periods, as a result of the cost reduction program instituted in
1996.
The Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $24,280,000 ($16,000,000
after tax) in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 in connection with a reduction of
approximately 1,300 employees in the Company's worldwide workforce. The Company
also closed or downsized several facilities in North America and Europe.
Interest costs increased by $1,111,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
from the comparable prior year period, due to the acquisition of LPSC. The
Company borrowed $130,000,000 from a group of banks to finance the acquisition
of LPSC. Interest costs have decreased by $486,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the prior year period.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 27.2% as
compared to 25.2% for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rate
for calendar year 1996 was 25.2%. The lower tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was due primarily to the restructuring charges recorded in
the higher tax rate countries, where the Company conducts its business. The
continuing effect of low tax rates in Israel (as compared to the statutory rate
in the United States) has been to increase net earnings by $4,939,000 and
$1,747,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and
$9,389,000 and $10,285,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The more favorable Israeli tax rates are applied to
specific approved projects and normally continue to be available for a period of
ten years.
Financial Condition
Cash flows from operations were $127,186,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 compared to $95,370,000 for the prior year's period. The increase in
cash flows from operations is primarily due to increased earnings and a decrease
in inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to an
increase in inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net
purchases of property and equipment for nine months ended September 30, 1997
were $55,218,000 compared to $110,093,000 in the prior year's period. This
decrease reflects the fact that the Company has substantially completed its
current restructuring/expansion program. Net cash provided by financing
activities of $76,716,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 includes
$130,000,000 used to finance the acquisition of LPSC.
The Company incurred a pretax restructuring charge of $38,030,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996. Approximately $28,953,000 of these charges relate to
employee termination costs covering approximately 2,600 technical, production,
administrative and support employees located in the United States, Canada,
France and Germany. As of September 30, 1997, approximately 2,290 employees have
been terminated and $21,888,000 of the termination costs have
-11-
been paid. The restructuring plan is expected to be completed by the end of
1997.
The Company's financial condition at September 30, 1997 is strong, with a
current ratio of 3.22 to 1. The Company's ratio of long-term debt (less current
portion) to stockholders' equity was .35 to 1 at September 30, 1997 and .24 to 1
at December 31, 1996.
Management believes that available sources of credit, together with cash
expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the
Company's anticipated financing needs for working capital and capital
expenditures during the next twelve months.
Inflation
- ---------
Normally, inflation does not have a significant impact on the Company's
operations. The Company's products are not generally sold on long-term
contracts. Consequently, selling prices, to the extent permitted by competition,
can be adjusted to reflect cost increases caused by inflation.
Safe Harbor Statement
- ---------------------
From time to time, information provided by the Company, including but not
limited to statements in this report, or other statements made by or on behalf
of the Company, may contain "forward-looking" information within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth
below identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of
the Company.
o The Company offers a broad variety of products and services to
its customers. Changes in demand for, or in the mix of, products
and services comprising revenues could cause actual operating
results to vary from those expected.
o The Company's future operating results are dependent, in part, on
its ability to develop, produce and market new and innovative
products, to convert existing products to surface mount devices
and to customize certain products to meet customer requirements.
There are numerous risks inherent in this complex process,
including the need for the Company to timely bring to market new
products and applications to meet customers' changing needs.
o The Company operates in a highly competitive environment, which
includes significant competitive pricing pressures and intense
competition for entry into new markets.
o A slowdown in demand for passive electronic components or
recessionary trends in the global economy in general or in
specific countries or regions where the Company sells the bulk of
its products, such as the U.S., Germany, France or the Pacific
Rim, could adversely
-12-
impact the Company's results of operations.
o Much of the orders in the Company's backlog may be canceled by
its customers without penalty. Customers may on occasion double
and triple order components from multiple sources to insure
timely delivery when backlog is particularly long. The Company's
results of operations may be adversely impacted if customers were
to cancel a material portion of such orders.
o Approximately 50% of the Company's revenues are derived from
operations and sales outside the United States. As a result,
currency exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, changes in
monetary policy and tariffs, potential changes in laws and
regulations affecting the Company's business in foreign
jurisdictions, trade restrictions or prohibitions,
intergovernmental disputes, increased labor costs and reduction
or cancellation of government grants, tax benefits or other
incentives could impact the Company's results of operations.
o Specifically, as a result of the increased production by the
Company's operations in Israel over the past several years, the
low tax rates in Israel (as compared to the statutory rates in
the U.S.) have had the effect of increasing the Company's net
earnings. In addition, the Company takes advantage of certain
incentive programs in Israel in the form of grants designed to
increase employment in Israel. Any significant increase in the
Israeli tax rates or reduction or elimination of any of the
Israeli grant programs could have an adverse impact on the
Company's results of operations.
o The Company may experience underutilization of certain plants and
factories in high labor cost regions and capacity constraints in
plants and factories located in low labor cost regions, resulting
initially in production inefficiencies and higher costs. Such
costs include those associated with work force reductions and
plant closings in the higher labor cost regions and start-up
expenses, manufacturing and construction delays, and increased
depreciation costs in connection with the start of production in
new plants and expansions in lower labor cost regions. Moreover,
capacity constraints may limit the Company's ability to continue
to meet demand for any of the Company's products.
o When the Company restructures its operations in response to
changing economic conditions, particularly in Europe, labor
unrest or strikes may occur, which could have an adverse effect
on the Company.
o The Company's results of operations may be adversely impacted by
(i) difficulties in obtaining raw materials, supplies, power,
natural resources and any other items needed for the production
of the Company's products; (ii) the effects of quality deviations
in raw materials, particularly tantalum powder, palladium and
ceramic dielectric materials; and (iii) the effects of
-13-
significant price increases for tantalum or palladium, or an
inability to obtain adequate supplies of tantalum or palladium
from the limited number of suppliers.
o The Company's historic growth in revenues and net earnings have
resulted in large part from its strategy to expand through
acquisitions. However, there is no assurance that the Company
will find or consummate transactions with suitable acquisition
candidates in the future.
o The Company's strategy also focuses on the reduction of selling,
general and administrative expenses through the integration or
elimination of redundant sales offices and administrative
functions at acquired companies and achievement of significant
production cost savings through the transfer and expansion of
manufacturing operations to lower cost regions such as Israel,
Mexico, Portugal and the Czech Republic. The Company's inability
to achieve any of these goals could have an adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.
o The Company may be adversely affected by the costs and other
effects associated with (i) legal and administrative cases and
proceedings (whether civil, such as environmental and
product-related, or criminal); (ii) settlements, investigations,
claims, and changes in those items; (iii) developments or
assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual
property rights and intellectual property licenses; and (iv)
adoption of new, or changes in, accounting policies and practices
and the application of such policies and practices.
o The Company's results of operations may also be affected by (i)
changes within the Company's organization, particularly at the
executive officer level, or in compensation and benefit plans;
and (ii) the amount, type and cost of the financing which the
Company maintains, and any changes to the financing.
o The inherent risk of environmental liability and remediation
costs associated with the Company's manufacturing operations may
result in large and unforseen liabilities.
o The Company's operations may be adversely impacted by (i) the
effects of war or severe weather or other acts of God on the
Company's operations, including disruptions at manufacturing
facilities; (ii) the effects of a disruption in the Company's
computerized ordering systems; and (iii) the effects of a
disruption in the Company's communications systems.
