AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 1, 2000 (1) Nature of Business ------------------ MicroTouch Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures and sells touch and pen input systems, including touch sensitive screens, digitizers for pen computers, and ThruGlass products. (2) Consolidated Financial Statements --------------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MicroTouch Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated. (3) Interim Consolidated Financial Statements ----------------------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of July 1, 2000 and for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999 include the accounts of the Company, and are unaudited; however, these statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 1, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. (4) Earnings per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method. The effect of stock options is antidilutive in loss periods. Therefore, excluded from diluted earnings per share were 99,000 dilutive potential common shares for the three month period ended July 1, 2000, as such shares would be antidilutive. Also excluded from diluted earnings per share were options to purchase 1,556,000 and 1,263,000 shares in the three month periods ended July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999, respectively. These options were excluded as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods. (5) Line of Credit -------------- The Company has demand bank lines of credit in the U.S. totaling $7,500,000, including letters of credit, under which the Company may borrow on an unsecured basis at the bank's prime rate. There was a balance of $4,000,000 and $3,105,000 outstanding under these lines at July 1, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Company also has a demand bank line of credit in the United Kingdom in the amount of approximately $2,400,000 under which the Company may borrow on a secured basis at a negotiated rate. There was a balance of $950,000 and $1,500,000 outstanding under this line at July 1, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. 6 (6) Non-recurring Charge -------------------- During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-recurring charge of $1,950,000 related to the divestiture of its Factura kiosk product line. On January 18, 2000, the Company completed the sale of certain of the assets of the Factura product line. The non-recurring charge included (i) $43,000 associated with personnel reductions of approximately 12 positions at the Factura facility prior to the sale; (ii) $417,000 associated with estimated lease costs for the Factura facility subsequent to the sale date (net of estimated sublease income); (iii) $210,000 associated with legal and other exit costs; and (iv) $1,280,000 associated with a loss on the sale of the non-cash assets of Factura. During the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2000, the Company paid out approximately $88,000 and $262,000, respectively, related to personnel reductions, facility costs and legal and other exit costs. (7) Sale of IBID ------------ On May 27, 2000, the Company completed the sale of the net assets of the IBID whiteboard product line to a third party. The Company received proceeds of $3.0 million in cash and may also receive additional payments based upon the buyer achieving certain specified revenue levels over the next five years. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $314,000 in the three months ended July 1, 2000. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net sales represented by certain items in MicroTouch's statements of operations: Percentage of Net Sales ----------------------- Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ----------------------------- ---------------------------- July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net Sales ................................ 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Sales ............................ 73.0 63.9 74.0 63.4 Gross Profit ........................ 27.0 36.1 26.0 36.6 Operating Expenses: Research and Development ............ 8.6 7.6 9.0 8.2 Sales and Marketing ................. 12.6 13.9 13.1 14.3 General and Administrative .......... 7.6 7.3 7.6 6.9 Amortization of Intangible Assets ... 0.2 0.1 0.1 0.3 Total Operating Expenses ....... 29.0 28.9 29.8 29.6 Operating Income (Loss) .................. (2.0) 7.2 (3.7) 7.0 Other Income, net ........................ 0.8 0.2 0.5 0.7 Litigation Costs ......................... -- -- -- 4.2 Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes ........ (1.2) 7.5 (3.2) 3.4 Net Income (Loss) ........................ (0.8) 5.1 (2.2) 2.3 NET SALES. Net sales in the quarter ended July 1, 2000 decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $4.4 million or 11%. For the six-month period ended July 1, 2000, net sales decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $1.1 million. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the sale of the Factura and IBID product lines in 2000, as well as offsetting volume decreases in North America and volume increases in Asia Pacific. Excluding Factura and IBID revenue from both six-month periods, net sales would have increased by $1.2 million or 2%. International sales accounted for 56% of net sales for the six- month period, representing an increase from 43% in the corresponding period of 1999, due to the growth in Asia Pacific combined with decreased sales in North America. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit in the quarter ended July 1, 2000 decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $4.9 million or 33%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased from 36.1% in the second quarter of 1999 to 27% in the second quarter of 2000. For the six-month period ended July 1, 2000, gross profit decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $8.5 million or 30%, and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 36.6% in 1999 to 26% in 2000. The gross profit percentage decline was primarily due to: a.) the continued investment in expanding the Methuen-based production capacity of resistive touchscreens; b.) reduced margins in the Company's monitor operations relating to a combination of lower CRT volumes, decreased integration services and higher warranty costs; and c.) reduced margins in the capacitive business line relating to lower volumes in gaming and entertainment sales and higher costs associated with a recent ramp in production capacity. While the latter two factors may improve in the next several quarters, the impact of the investment in Methuen-based resistive production capacity is not likely to improve until mid to late 2001 when the Company has completed a planned transition to offshore production of resistive touchscreens. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended July 1, 2000 were effectively unchanged from the corresponding period of 1999. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses increased from 7.6% in the second quarter of 1999 to 8.6% in the second 8 quarter of 2000. For the six-month period ended July 1, 2000, research and development expenses increased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $513,000 or 8%, and increased as a percentage of net sales from 8.2% in 1999 to 9% in 2000. The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from the continued investment in programs to develop improvements in touchscreen technologies, especially a next generation version of capacitive products. SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended July 1, 2000 decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $1,098,000 or 19%. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased from 13.9% in the second quarter of 1999 to 12.6% in the second quarter of 2000. For the six- month period ended July 1, 2000, sales and marketing expenses decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $1,029,000 or 9%, and decreased as a percentage of net sales from 14.3% in 1999 to 13.1% in 2000. The decrease primarily relates to the reduction of sales and marketing expenses associated with the Factura and IBID product lines, both of which were sold by the Company in 2000. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses in the quarter ended July 1, 2000 decreased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $99,000 or 3%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expense increased from 7.3% for the second quarter of 1999 to 7.6% for the second quarter of 2000. For the six-month period ended July 1, 2000, general and administrative expenses increased over the corresponding period of 1999 by $399,000 or 7%, and increased as a percentage of net sales from 6.9% in 1999 to 7.6% in 2000. The increase was primarily due to increased costs in Asia Pacific to support the growth in the region. AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. For the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2000, operating expenses included $55,000 and $110,000, respectively, of amortization relating to various acquisitions and purchases of technologies, as compared to $100,000 and $214,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 1999. As of July 1, 2000, all intangible assets relating to prior acquisitions have been fully amortized. OTHER INCOME. Other income in the quarter ended July 1, 2000 increased from the corresponding period of 1999 by $212,000. This increase was primarily due to a $314,000 gain on the sale of the IBID product line. Interest income, net of interest expense, on the Company's cash and investment portfolio for the second quarter of 2000 was $29,000 compared to $197,000 for the second quarter of 1999, reflecting a decrease in the size of the Company's investment portfolio, which is discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources". LITIGATION COSTS. During the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a charge of $3.3 million related to a judgement against the Company in a lawsuit. While the matter is continuing in post-trial proceedings, the Company has established a reserve for the full amount of the judgement, as well as estimated associated legal fees. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective tax rate was 31% and 32% in the first half of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 2000 effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily as a result of the benefit related to tax exempt interest income and the utilization of foreign net operating losses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of July 1, 2000, the Company had net working capital of $43.5 million, including approximately $18.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $2.7 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000. Additionally, the Company maintains bank lines of credit, including letters of credit, in the U.S. and the U.K. totaling $9.9 million. As of July 1, 2000, the Company had a total of $4.95 million outstanding under its bank lines of credit. During 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved extensions to a repurchase program of the Company's common stock. Under the 1999 extensions, the amount of common stock to be 9 repurchased is not to exceed $13.0 million. During the six months ended July 1, 2000, the Company repurchased approximately 85,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $1,082,000. These shares have been and will be used for the Company's stock option plans, employee stock purchase plan and for other corporate purposes, possibly including acquisitions. During the six months ended July 1, 2000, the Company invested $2,789,000 in capital expenditures. Pending operational needs, the Company has invested its cash in investment grade, interest-bearing securities. The Company believes that these cash investments, together with anticipated cash flows from operations pursuant to its current operating plan, will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating working capital requirements, at least through 2001. In addition, in the future, the Company may pursue additional sources of financing for the expansion of its resistive product line, in particular. While the Company regularly evaluates acquisition candidates, conducts preliminary discussions regarding acquisitions and may pursue acquisition opportunities available to it, there can be no assurance that any such acquisition will be made or, if made, whether such acquisition will be financially successful. The discussion contained in this section, as well as elsewhere in this Form 10- Q, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on the current expectations of the Company's management. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE Significant portions of the Company's operations are conducted in foreign countries, including the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and Korea. Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of these countries result in fluctuations in the amounts relating to foreign operations reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In general, the Company's policy is not to enter into derivative financial instruments or other financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not enter into such financial instruments in the future. SUPPLY EXPOSURE Although the Company generally uses standard parts for its product, certain components, such as ASICs, topsheets and the coated glass used in the production of touch sensors, are currently available only from a single source. In the event that suppliers are unable to fulfill the Company's requirements, the resulting interruption in production would have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results. While the Company maintains some inventory of ASICs, coated glass, topsheets and other components, the inventory amounts maintained are not sufficient to eliminate the potential impact of prolonged supply interruptions. While the Company believes that there are other companies that are capable of manufacturing these sole source components, the inability to obtain sufficient components as required, or to develop alternative sources if and when needed, would adversely affect the Company's operating results. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On April 25, 2000, Target Stores, a division of Target Corporation, filed a complaint against the Company, which was removed on May 18, 2000 to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. The complaint, which alleges damages in the amount of approximately $1.4 million plus related costs, contains claims for negligence and intentional misrepresentation concerning the quality and performance of MicroTouch touchscreens purchased by Target for the store's gift registry. The case is currently in its early stages. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations raised in the complaint and plans to vigorously defend its reputation and rights.
