Financial Statements: --------------------- In the opinion of 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, 1996 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, 1996. B. Net Income per Share: --------------------- Net income per share for the three months ended November 30, 1996 is based on the weighted average common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options and warrants. Primary income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding based on the average market price of the Company's common stock (under the treasury stock method). Income per share, on a fully diluted basis, is computed as described above utilizing the higher of the ending or average market price of the Company's common stock. Primary and fully diluted income per share are the same for the three months ended November 30, 1996. Net income per share for the three months ended November 30, 1995 assuming full dilution has not been presented because the dilutive effect is not material. C. Principles of Consolidation: ---------------------------- The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary, Ecco Industries, Inc. All material intercompany transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated. D. 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. -6- INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONICS, INC. --------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------- (continued) ----------- (unaudited) E. Long-term Obligations: ---------------------- Long-term obligations are summarized as follows: Nov. 30, 1996 Aug. 31, 1996 -------------- -------------- Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Agreement $379,816 $385,091 11-18% capitalized lease obligations, due through April, 2001 (Note F) 85,363 66,793 Other 14,000 14,000 9-13% equipment loans, collateralized by equipment, final payment due July, 1998 12,636 23,083 -------- -------- 491,815 488,967 Less current portion (73,831) (79,516) -------- -------- $417,984 $409,451 ======== ======== Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Agreement - The renegotiated ------------------------------------------------------ agreement with the FDIC in December 1994 provided for repayment of $35,000 prior to October 1994, with payments on the remaining balance of $430,000 utilizing a 20-year amortization with payment in full at December 31, 1997. The debt is collateralized by all of the Company's assets with interest at the prime rate plus 1% and has been personally guaranteed by an officer of the Company. The aggregate principal payments on long-term obligations, excluding capital leases are $29,599 (1997) and $376,853 (1998). -7- INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONICS, INC. --------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------- (continued) (unaudited) F. Capital Lease Commitments: -------------------------- The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases and, accordingly, the present value of the net minimum payments has been reflected in equipment, furniture and improvements and capitalized lease obligations. Future minimum capital lease payments under non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at November 30, 1996 are as follows: 1997 $ 53,666 1998 20,041 1999 16,843 2000 7,250 2001 3,021 -------- Total minimum lease payments 100,821 Less interest (15,458) -------- Net minimum lease payments 85,363 Less current portion (44,232) -------- Long-term portion $ 41,131 ======== G. Capital Transactions: --------------------- In September 1996, the Company granted warrants to two officers to purchase an aggregate 19,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.12 per share exercisable for a ten-year period. Each of the warrants were assigned a value of $.10 per share to be paid by the officers. -8- Management's Discussion and Analysis of ---------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- As of November 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $1,078,449 compared to $1,044,480 at August 31, 1996. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.7 at both November 30, 1996 and August 31, 1996. The debt to equity ratio was 1.5 at November 30, 1996 as compared to 1.4 at August 31, 1996. The increase in working capital is primarily the result of the Company's operating cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in the debt to equity ratio is primarily a result of an increase in accrued warranty expenses. Net capital expenditures were $55,371 and $16,831 for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company has no current commitments for any material capital expenditures, but the Company anticipates up to $550,000 in capital expenditures for the purchase of office and manufacturing equipment, regulatory testing and tooling costs over the next twelve months. As of November 30, 1996, the Company had indebtedness of approximately $380,000 under an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). See Note E to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In May, 1991, the Commissioner of Banks of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts declared the Company's bank insolvent, and appointed the FDIC as liquidating agent of the bank. In December, 1994, the Company renegotiated this debt with the FDIC. The revised agreement provides for repayment of the then current balance utilizing a 20-year amortization with payment in full at December 31, 1997, and interest at the prime rate plus 1%. Management believes that its current cash position, together with internally generated funds at present sales levels, will provide adequate cash reserves, 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 external funding. There is no assurance that profits will be generated, or that external funding will be obtainable, if such a need should arise. Results of Operations - --------------------- Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 18% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily reflects increases in access control and keypad sales, offset in part by a reduction in glassbreak detector and voice verification product sales. The ratio of gross profit to sales for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995 were 40% and 42%, respectively. The decrease is primarily the result of product mix. Research and development expenses were $114,118 and $72,765 for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in costs is primarily due to the hiring of additional personnel and related expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 33% and 36% for the three months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decrease in expenses, as a percentage of net sales, is the result of increased productivity from sales personnel. -9- Management's Discussion and Analysis of --------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------- (continued) The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 represents foreign, federal alternative minimum taxes and state tax expense. The Company's effective income tax rate for 1997 of 36% was less than the combined federal and state statutory rate, primarily as a result of the utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" will be effective for fiscal 1997. The Company has not completed evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 121 will have on its 1997 financial statements. 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 which 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 AND LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS. 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 years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company has experienced losses of approximately ($231,000) and ($49,000), respectively. For the year ended August 31, 1996 and three months ended November 30, 1996, the Company had net income of approximately $162,000 and $28,000, 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 capital to be generated by profitable operations or additional financing. There can be no assurance that profits will continue or that external funding will be obtainable, if such a need should arise. NO ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL FINANCING. In December, 1994 the Company renegotiated debt with the FDIC which provided for repayment of the then current balance utilizing a 20-year amortization with payment in full at December 31, 1997. When the FDIC note becomes due in full, if the Company is unable to replace the debt partially or in full, it may have a substantial adverse effect on the Company's operations. The Company currently has no access to additional or replacement financing. -10- Management's Discussion and Analysis of ---------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------- (continued) ----------- 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 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 effect 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 affect on the Company. FLUCTUATIONS IN SALES AND OPERATING RESULTS. The quarterly growth rates recently experienced by the Company are not necessarily indicative of future quarterly growth rates. 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 effect the Company's operating results, or such price pressure over an extended period could adversely effect 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. -11- Management's Discussion and Analysis of --------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------- (continued) CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS. Although the Company has a substantial number of customers, a significant portion of the Company's sales are 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 largest customer accounted for approximately 33% of the Company's total net sales for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996. The Company's agreements with its customers generally do not include minimum purchase requirements. 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 effected 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. In fiscal 1995, the Company lost a major domestic distributor who filed for bankruptcy with accounts receivable due the Company of approximately $80,000. 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. PRODUCTION 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. 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. FOREIGN SALES. During the year ended August 31, 1996, the Company's foreign sales represented approximately 12% of net sales. There may be a reduction in the Company's foreign sales in the event of significant changes in foreign exchange rates or political and economic instability in foreign countries. -12- Management's Discussion and Analysis of --------------------------------------- Financial Condition and Results of Operations --------------------------------------------- (continued) ----------- 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. In March 1992, the NASD established higher standards for a company's stock to maintain its listing on NASDAQ. The revised standards include maintaining a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days and shareholders' equity with a minimum balance of $1,000,000. Although the Company has maintained its NASDAQ listing, the Company has, at times, been unable to maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price criteria. In November, 1996, the NASD proposed higher standards for a company to maintain its stock listing on NASDAQ. If adopted as presently proposed, the new standards would result in the Company's common stock losing its listing on NASDAQ. The procedure for adopting such standards provides that there will be a period of public comment and approval by the SEC. It is expected that the final standards will be effective during the first quarter of calendar 1997. One of the presently proposed standards include maintaining minimum net tangible shareholders' equity of $2,000,000. As of November 30, 1996, the Company had net tangible shareholders' equity of approximately $1,005,000. If this proposed standard is adopted, the Company would not meet the standard and, unless the Company increases its net tangible shareholders' equity to $2,000,000, the Company's common stock would no longer be listed on NASDAQ. At the present time, it is not possible to determine what the new standards will be, whether the Company will be able to achieve and/or maintain the proposed standards, and consequently, it is not possible to know whether the Company will be able to have its common stock listed on NASDAQ. If the Company is unable to maintain its listing on NASDAQ, holders of the Company's common stock may have additional 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. -13- Part II. Other Information - --------------------------- Item 6.
