Financial Statements: --------------------- In the opinion of International Electronics, Inc. (the "Company"), the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 30, 2001 and the results of operations for the three months then ended. Certain disclosures normally included have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2001. B. Principles of Consolidation: ---------------------------- The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its majority-owned subsidiary, Ecco Industries, Inc. ("Ecco") and its wholly owned subsidiary, International Electronics Europe Limited. All material intercompany transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated. C. Income Taxes: ------------- The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined. D. Significant Estimates and Assumptions: ------------------------------------- The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -6- INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONICS, INC. ------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- (continued) (unaudited) E. Net Income (Loss) per Share: ---------------------------- Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common and dilutive option and warrant shares outstanding based on the average market price of the Company's common stock (under the treasury stock method). The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted-average number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: Three months ended ------------------------------------ Nov. 30, 2001 Nov. 30, 2000 ------------- ------------- Shares used in computation: Weighted-average shares outstanding for basic net income (loss) per share 1,564,607 1,536,472 Effect of dilutive option and warrant shares 104,757 - ------------- ------------- Total shares for diluted net income (loss) per share 1,669,364 1,536,472 ============= ============= The calculations for diluted net income (loss) per share did not include an aggregate of options and warrants of 90,000 and 191,295 for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively because such options and warrants are anti-dilutive or are out of the money. -7- INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONICS, INC. ------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- (continued) (unaudited) F. New Accounting Pronouncements: ------------------------------ In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangibles and instead subjects these assets to periodic impairment assessments. SFAS No. 142 is effective immediately for all goodwill and certain other intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No's. 141 and 142 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 144 specifies accounting for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions than were included under the previous standards. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 144 on September 1, 2002, and it has not determined the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. G. Long-term Obligations: ---------------------- Long-term obligations are summarized as follows: Nov. 30, 2001 Aug. 31, 2001 ------------- ------------- Equipment line of credit, 5.0%-6.5% (Note H) $ 360,038 $ 417,948 Collateralized 8% equipment loan - 1,606 ----------- ----------- 360,038 419,554 Less current portion (203,339) (218,066) ----------- ----------- $ 156,699 $ 201,488 =========== =========== The aggregate principal payments on long-term obligations as of November 30, 2001 are $203,339 (2002), $118,247 (2003) and $38,452 (2004). -8- INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONICS, INC. ------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------------- (continued) (unaudited) H. Bank Arrangements: ----------------- As of November 30, 2001, the Company has an available $132,000 equipment line of credit expiring February 28, 2002 and a bank demand line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $1,000,000. Both lines of credit are at the bank's prime rate of interest, and all of the Company's assets are collateralized under these arrangements. The credit agreements contain certain restrictive covenants including covenants limiting the payment of dividends, a minimum debt to tangible net worth ratio, and bi-annual or annual net income. As of November 30, 2001, no borrowings have been made under the demand line of credit, and the Company has an aggregate of $360,038 outstanding as equipment debt, which is payable in monthly installments through August 2004 (Note G). I. Subsequent Event: ---------------- In December 2001, the Company increased its available equipment line of credit by $500,000, expiring February 28, 2003 (Note H). -9- Management's Discussion and Analysis of --------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources As of November 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $2,605,804 compared to $2,613,067 at August 31, 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.6 at November 30, 2001 and 2.7 at August 31, 2001. The debt to equity ratio was 0.6 at both November 30, 2001 and August 31, 2001. The decrease in working capital and current ratio is primarily the result of an increase in accrued expenses. Net capital expenditures were $105,264 and $25,969 for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company anticipates up to $630,000 in capital expenditures for the purchase of leasehold improvements, production and other equipment, and tooling costs over the next twelve months. Management believes that its current cash position, together with internally generated funds at present sales levels and its available bank financing, will provide adequate liquidity to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months. Depending upon whether or not sufficient revenue and working capital is generated from profitable operations, the Company may require additional external funding. There is no assurance that profits will be generated, or that additional external funding will be obtainable, if such a need should arise. Results of Operations Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 3% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease in net sales primarily reflects a reduction in sales to the Company's largest distributor due to a reduction in their inventory balances. The ratio of gross profit to sales was 46% for both the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000. Research and development expenses were $260,073 and $288,093 for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in these costs is primarily due to the completion of certain development projects from outside contractors and a reduction in project materials. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 34% and 36% for the three months ended November 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in costs as a percentage of net sales is the result of an increase in sales efficiency coupled with a reduction in bad debts, telecommunications expense, public relations expense and other administrative costs. The decrease in other income in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to the comparable period of the prior year was due to a reduction in interest income because of lower rates on invested balances. The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 represents state income tax expense, after utilization of available federal net operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by a deferred tax benefit. -10- New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangibles and instead subjects these assets to periodic impairment assessments. SFAS No. 142 is effective immediately for all goodwill and certain other intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No's. 141 and 142 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". SFAS No. 144 specifies accounting for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions than were included under the previous standards. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 144 on September 1, 2002, and it has not determined the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Factors that May Affect Future Results Information provided by the Company in writing and orally, from time to time may contain certain "forward-looking" information as this term is defined by: (1) the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") and (2) in releases made by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These Cautionary Statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Company has identified certain risks and uncertainties as factors, which may impact on its operating results that are detailed below. All of these factors are difficult for the Company to forecast, and these or other factors can materially adversely affect the Company's business and operating results for one quarter or a series of quarters. Limited Financial Resources. The Company has limited financial resources. It is therefore subject to all the risks generally associated with a small business having limited financial resources. For the three months ended November 30, 2001 and the years ended August 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company had net income of approximately $61,000, $136,000, $355,000, and $555,000, respectively. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue profitable operations. Continued operations after the expenditure of the Company's existing cash reserves may require additional working -11- capital to be generated by profitable operations or use of the bank lines of credit and/or additional financing. There can be no assurance that profits will continue or that additional external funding will be obtainable, if such a need should arise. Dependence on Key Employees. The business of the Company is dependent upon the efforts of John Waldstein and certain other key management and technical employees. The loss or prolonged disability of such personnel could have a significant adverse effect on the business of the Company. The Company presently maintains a key man life insurance policy of $1,000,000 on John Waldstein, President and Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer. Limited Design Engineering Staff. The Company is engaged in an industry, which, as a result of extensive research and development, introduces new products on a regular basis. Current competitors or new market entrants may develop new products with features that could adversely affect the competitive position of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in selecting, developing, manufacturing and marketing new products or enhancing its existing products or that the Company will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or product announcements by competitors. Any failure or delay in these goals could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Fluctuations in Sales and Operating Results. Operating results may also fluctuate due to factors such as the timing of new product announcements and introductions by the Company, its major customers and its competitors, market acceptance of new or enhanced versions of the Company's products, changes in the product mix of sales, changes in the relative proportions of sales among distribution channels or among customers within each distribution channel, changes in manufacturing costs, competitive pricing pressures, the gain or loss of significant customers, increased research and development expenses associated with new product introductions and general economic conditions. A limited number of customers have accounted for a significant portion of sales in any particular quarter. In addition, the Company typically operates with a relatively small backlog. As a result, quarterly sales and operating results generally depend on the volume, timing of, and ability to fulfill orders received within the quarter which are difficult to forecast. In this regard, the Company may recognize a substantial portion of its sales in a given quarter from sales booked and shipped in the last weeks of that quarter. A delay in customer orders, resulting in a shift of product shipment from one quarter to another, could have a significant effect on the Company's operating results. In addition, competitive pressure on pricing in a given quarter could adversely affect the Company's operating results, or such price pressure over an extended period could adversely affect the Company's long-term profitability. The Company establishes its expenditure levels for sales and marketing and other expenses based, in large part, on its expected future results. As a result, if sales fall below expectations, there would likely be a material adverse effect on operating results because only a small portion of the Company's expenses vary with its sales in the short-term. -12- Concentration of Customers. The Company has a substantial number of customers but sells a large majority of its products to a small number of large customers. This concentration of customers may cause net sales and operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on major customers' requirements and the timing of their orders and shipments. Sales to the Company's two largest customers accounted for approximately 46% of the Company's total net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001. The Company's industry has recently experienced significant consolidation, which may further increase the Company's concentration among its major customers. There can be no assurance that the Company's major customers will place additional orders, or that the Company will obtain orders of similar magnitude from other customers. The Company's operating results could be materially and adversely affected if any present or future major customer were to choose to reduce its level of orders, were to experience financial, operational or other difficulties that resulted in such a reduction in orders to the Company or were to delay paying or fail to pay the Company's receivables from such customer. General Economic Conditions. The Company's business is subject to the effects of general economic conditions in the United States and globally. If the economic conditions in the United States and globally do not improve, or if there is a worsening in the global economic slowdown, the Company could experience adverse impacts on its business, operating results and financial condition. Competition. Other companies in the industry offer products in competition with those of the Company. Many of the companies with which the Company competes are substantially larger, have greater resources and market a larger line of products. The Company expects competition to increase significantly in the future from existing competitors and new companies that may enter the Company's existing or future markets. Increased competition could adversely affect the Company's sales and profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully with its existing competitors or with new competitors. Lack of Patent Protection. Although the Company has obtained some patent and copyright protection for certain of its products and software, management believes that competitors may be able to market certain products similar to those sold by the Company. Offshore Production. The Company is currently having some of its finished products manufactured in Asia. The Company presently maintains certain manufacturing molds in Asia and has a significant amount of components for some products manufactured in Asia. There can be no assurance that the Asian political or economic environment will remain sufficiently stable to allow reliable and consistent delivery of product. Dependence on Single Source of Supply. The Company is dependent upon sole source suppliers for a number of key components and parts used in the Company's products. There can be no assurance that these suppliers will be able to meet the Company's future requirements for such components or that the components will be available to the Company at favorable prices, or at all. Any extended interruption in the supply or significant increase in price of any such components could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results in any given period. -13- Foreign Sales. During the year ended August 31, 2001, the Company's foreign sales represented approximately 10% of net sales. There may be a reduction in the Company's foreign sales from the 2001 level in the event of significant changes in foreign exchange rates or political and economic instability in foreign countries. Limited Market for Common Stock. There is a limited market for the Company's common stock and there can be no assurance that even this limited market will be sustained. Holders of the Company's common stock may have difficulty selling their shares or may have difficulty selling them at a favorable price. Maintain Listing on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to meet the NASDAQ SmallCap standards to maintain its listing on NASDAQ. If the Company is unable to maintain its listing on NASDAQ, holders of the Company's common stock may have difficulty selling their shares or may have difficulty selling them at a favorable price. Volatility of Stock Price. The Company's stock price is subject to significant volatility. If revenues or earnings in any quarter fail to meet the investment community's expectations, announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors and other events or factors could have an immediate impact on the Company's stock price. The stock price may also be affected by broader market trends unrelated to the Company's performance. -14- Part II. Other Information - --------------------------- Item 6.
