BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation. 2. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock, unless the effects of dilution would be anti-dilutive. For 1999, 1,304,731 shares were excluded because the effect of such options would be anti-dilutive. For 2000, 1,725,482 shares were excluded because the effect would be anti-dilutive. 8 MFIC CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 3. INVENTORY The components of inventories on the following dates were: March 31, 2000 December 31, 1999 Raw Material $2,727,023 $2,070,913 Work in Progress 341,824 320,151 Finished Goods 748,773 1,086,059 ---------- ---------- Total $3,817,620 $3,477,123 ========== ========== 4. TAXES The Company has a federal net operating loss (NOL) tax carryforward of approximately $4,698,000 and research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $186,000 expiring at various dates beginning in 2001 through 2019. Ownership changes may result in future limitations on the utilization of net operating losses and research and development tax credit carryforwards. Based on the financial results known at December 31, 1999, the Company has established a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of earning sufficient taxable income to realize the benefit of these assets. Therefore, the Company increased the valuation allowance by $323,096 in 1999. 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company's quarter ended March 31, 2001. SFAS No. 133 significantly modifies accounting and reporting standards for derivatives and hedging activities. The impact of SFAS No. 133, if any, on the Company has not yet been determined. 9 6. SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, DEBT RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING On December 20, 1999 the Company signed an agreement in principle (the "Agreement In Principle") with J.B. Jennings and Bret A. Lewis, the former owners of the Epworth Mill and Morehouse-COWLES businesses (the "Sellers"), Lake Shore Industries, Inc., and JLJ Properties, Inc., entities owned and controlled by the Sellers. The Agreement In Principle set forth understandings among the parties concerning restructuring of the Company's subordinated debt and resolution of various disputes. On January 17, 2000 a definitive settlement agreement incorporating these subject matters was executed between the parties (the "Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, Seller's subordinated loans totaling $775,000 would be restructured upon the closing of a new senior loan facility. Such restructuring included all outstanding and unpaid interest and setoffs to such notes provided for under the terms of the August 14, 1998 Asset Purchase Agreement. At such closing $500,000 of this debt would be converted to 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company retained the right to repurchase such shares for a 3 year period at a per share price of $1.75. The remaining $300,000 would be structured as a new subordinated promissory note with annual interest at 10%, with interest only being paid in the first year, and the principal together with interest then being amortized over 4 years starting in the second year. A disputed lease between the Company and one of the Seller's entities for property located in South Haven, Michigan, which was the subject of a suit to terminate filed by the Company, was voluntarily dismissed in return for the payment by the Company of a total of $58,000. The initial payment in the amount of $30,000 was paid on January 19, 2000 upon execution of the Settlement Agreement and the balance on February 28, 2000. The Company dismissed with prejudice by joint stipulation its lawsuit to terminate the lease. The Company and the Sellers executed a mutual release of liability related to the August 14, 1998 Asset Purchase Agreement. 10 Senior Debt Financing - --------------------- On February 28, 2000 (the "Closing Date") the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement with National Bank of Canada (the "Lender") providing the Company with a $4,475,000 three-year revolving credit and term loan facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility is comprised of: (i) a $4 million three year revolving line of credit ("Revolving Credit Line") with advances thereunder bearing interest at an interest rate equal to the prime rate (the "Prime Rate" for United States borrowings from the National Bank of Canada as publicly announced from time to time) plus one-half percent (.50%). All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Line are evidenced by a $4 million promissory note having a maturity date of February 28, 2003 (the "Revolving Note"), and (ii) a $475,000 term promissory note, amortized over a five year period but having a maturity date of February 28, 2003 and bearing interest at an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three quarters of one percent (.75%). As of March 31, 2000, the revolving line of credit had an interest rate of 9.5% per annum, and the term note had an interest rate of 9.0%. Loans under the Credit Facility are secured by a collateral pledge to the Lender of substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company's Microfluidics Corporation subsidiary has guaranteed the Company's obligations to the Lender under the Credit Facility. The Company has pledged to the Lender all shares of Microfluidics Corporation owned by the Company. From the proceeds of the initial loan, the Company repaid the outstanding balance owed to Comerica Bank of approximately $2,585,000, as of February 28, 2000. As one of the Lender's conditions precedent to the closing of the Finance Facility, the Company's Chairman, Irwin Gruverman, made at the closing of the Credit Facility a $250,000 purchase of restricted Common Stock of the Company. Pursuant to an agreement with the Company approved by the Company's Board of Directors on December 30, 1999, Mr. Gruverman paid $.25 per share for his stock purchase and as a result received 1,000,000 MFIC restricted shares of Common Stock. In connection with the closing of the Credit Facility, and pursuant to a Settlement Agreement dated January 17, 2000 with the Company's subordinated debt holders, the subordinated debt of the Company was restructured in the following manner. The outstanding August 14, 1998 $500,000 subordinated promissory note, having a remaining $475,000 principal balance together with accrued interest at the Closing Date in the approximate amount of $77,500, and accrued 11 interest on the August 14, 1998 $300,000 subordinated note were converted to 500,000 shares of MFIC restricted common stock (the "Conversion Shares"). The fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the Agreement In Principle was $0.31 per share. MFIC was granted the right for a three-year period to repurchase the Conversion Shares at a purchase price of $1.75 per share. The August 14, 1998 $300,000 subordinated note was replaced with a new $300,000 subordinated promissory note dated February 28, 2000 (the "2000 Subordinated Note"). The 2000 Subordinated Note has a maturity date of February 28, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The note is payable interest only in its first year and then is payable in equal quarterly installments of principal together with outstanding interest thereon until maturity. As a result of the debt restructuring and refinancing, the Company recorded an extraordinary gain of approximately $195,000 in the first quarter of 2000. 12 MFIC CORPORATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Total Company revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $3,732,919, as compared to revenues of $2,597,122 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing an increase of $1,135,797, or 44%. The increase during this period is due to an increase in sales of machines of approximately $712,000, and an increase in sales of spare parts of approximately $391,000. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,981,050 or 53% of revenue, compared to $1,665,532 or 64% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in cost of goods sold in absolute dollars for the three months ended March 31, 2000, reflects the increase in sales generated by the operating divisions of the Company. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was attributable both to higher gross margins on sales of machines, and to a decrease in fixed overhead. The Company's major product lines have different profit margins, as well as multiple profit margins within each product line. In the course of the periods compared, there may be significant changes in the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue depending on the mix of product sold. Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $1,610,523 or 43% of revenue, as compared to $1,477,726 or 57% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 1999 which is an increase of approximately $133,000 or 9%. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $186,132 compared to $239,373 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of $53,241 or 22%. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily due to decreases in payroll costs of approximately $34,000, and general research and development costs of approximately $11,000. 13 Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased approximately $127,000 or 21%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $597,498 to $724,699. The increases were primarily attributable to an increase in commissions of approximately $66,000, and an increase in salaries of approximately $61,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $59,000 from $640,855 to $699,692. The increase in general and administrative expenses is principally due to an increase in professional fees of approximately $23,000 and an increase in corporate expenses of approximately $30,000. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased to $246 compared to $3,389 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of approximately $3,100 or 93%. The decrease was due to the decrease in the amount of cash available to invest. The Company realized a gain on the sale of a portion of the Company's holdings in Cardiotech International, Inc. in the amount of $11,864 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. The Company realized a gain of $194,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to a restructuring of the Company's subordinated debt. 2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company generated cash of $438,455 and $447,317 from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's principal operating cash requirements were to fund its increase in inventories and prepaid expenses, offset by an increase in current liabilities, a decrease in trade and other receivables and net income from operations. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company's principal operating cash requirements were to fund its net loss and decrease in current liabilities offset by a decrease in trade and other receivables. The Company used cash of $22,996 and generated cash of $32,663 for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 included proceeds from the sale of fixed assets offset by the purchase of capital equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 consisted of the proceeds from the sale of fixed assets offset by the purchase of capital equipment. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. 14 The Company used cash of $495,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, consisting of the proceeds from the refinancing of the line of credit, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock offset by the repayment of the previous line of credit. The Company used cash of $391,495 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, consisting of payments of the line of credit and subordinated debt, and the purchase of treasury stock. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had $116,430 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $196,172 as of December 31, 1999. On February 28, 2000, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement with National Bank of Canada ("Bank"), providing the Company with a $4,475,000 three-year revolving credit and term loan facility. Assuming that there is no significant change in the Company's business, the Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the credit and term loan facility, and the existing cash balances, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company's quarter ended March 31, 2000. SFAS No. 133 significantly modifies accounting and reporting standards for derivatives and hedging activities. The impact of SFAS No. 133, if any, on the Company has not yet been determined. 4. BUSINESS OUTLOOK The Company believes that this report may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including statements to achieve revenue growth, to maintain and/or increase operating profitability, and to attain net income profitability. Such statements are based on the Company's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results achieved by the Company to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions investors that there can be no assurance that the actual results or business conditions will not differ materially from those projected or suggested in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, the following risks and uncertainties: (i) whether the performance advantages of the Company's Microfluidizer/(R)/ or Zinger/(R)/ materials processing equipment will be realized commercially or that a commercial market for the equipment will continue to develop, and (ii) whether the Company will have access to sufficient working capital through continued and improving cash flow from sales and ongoing borrowing availability, the latter being subject to the Company's ability to comply with the covenants and terms of the Company's loan agreement with its senior lender. 15 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's fixed rate debt is not exposed to cash flow or interest rate changes but is exposed to fair market value changes in the event of refinancing this fixed rate debt. The Company had approximately $2,010,000 of variable rate borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit agreement. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates for this variable rate debt would have an approximate $9,000 negative effect on the Company's earnings and cash flows. MFIC CORPORATION PART II- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS Concurrently with the entering into by the Company of its new senior credit facility with National Bank of Canada ("Bank") on February 28, 2000 and as required by the Bank, Irwin Gruverman purchased 1,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock for $250,000. Also, concurrently with the Bank Closing, $475,000 of the Company's subordinated debt was converted to 500,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. ITEM 6.
