AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997 (1) Nature of Business ------------------ MicroTouch Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures and sells touch sensitive input systems, including touch-sensitive screens, digitizers for pen computers and kiosk enclosures as well as electronic digital PC based whiteboards. (2) Consolidated Financial Statements --------------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MicroTouch Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, "MicroTouch" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated. (3) Interim Consolidated Financial Statements ----------------------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 include the accounts of the Company, and have not been audited by independent public accountants; 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 June 30, 1997, and the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for 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, 1996. (4) Earnings Per Share (EPS) ------------------------ Earnings per share data are computed using the weighted average number of shares of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method. (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements -------------------------------- In February 1997, SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" was released effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS replaces the primary EPS calculation required under APB Opinion 15. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is calculated by using the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion 15. The pro-forma effect of this accounting change on the June 30, 1997 EPS data and the June 30 and December 31, 1996 previously reported EPS data is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Year Ended June 30, June 30, December 31, ------- ------- ------------ 1997 1996 1997 1996 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Primary EPS as reported $ .24 $ .13 $ .49 $ .28 $.71 Effect of SFAS No. 128 .01 .01 .02 .01 .03 ----- ----- ----- ----- ---- Basic EPS $ .25 $ .14 $ .51 $ .29 $.74 ===== ===== ===== ===== ==== 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations: The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods indicated, the percentage of net sales represented by certain items in MicroTouch's statements of operations: Percentage of Total Revenue ---------------------------------------- Three Months Six Months Ended Ended June 30 June 30 ----------------- ---------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Sales 62.9 62.3 62.6 62.3 ------- ------- ------- ------- Gross Profit 37.1 37.7 37.4 37.7 Operating Expenses: Research & Development 6.0 7.9 6.1 7.6 Sales & Marketing 14.2 15.2 14.8 15.4 General & Administrative 6.3 6.2 6.3 6.3 Amortization of Intangible Assets .4 .5 .4 .5 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total Operating Expenses 26.9 29.8 27.6 29.8 ------- ------- ------- ------- Operating Income 10.2 7.9 9.8 7.9 Other Income 1.1 2.1 1.2 1.8 Arbitration costs 1.8 2.6 1.0 1.6 ------- ------- ------- ------- Income Before Provision for Income 9.5 7.4 10.0 8.1 Tax Net Income 6.1 4.7 6.5 5.1 Net Sales Net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by $9,384,000 or 41.0% to $32,275,000. For the six- month period ended June 30, 1997, net sales increased $18,405,000 or 41.9% to $62,351,000. The increase in both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 reflected increases in international touchscreen sales, the domestic and international entertainment markets and kiosk sales. For the three month period ended June 30, 1997, international sales accounted for 43.4% of net sales, an increase from 32.6% of net sales for the comparable period of 1996, reflecting increased touchscreen volume primarily into Europe and Australia. For the six- month period ended June 30, 1997, international sales accounted for 40.5% of net sales as compared to 33.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. Gross Profit Gross profit for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 was $11,987,000 and $23,335,000, which represents increases of 39.0% and 41.0%, respectively, over the corresponding periods of 1996. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased from 37.7% in the second quarter of 1996 to 37.1% in the second quarter of 1997. The decrease in second quarter gross margins primarily reflects the lower margins associated with the production start up of the Business Products Division's electronic whiteboard product Ibid(TM). For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 37.4% from 37.7% in the same period in 1996. This decrease is also due to start up costs in the Business Products Division. Research and Development Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by $149,000 or 8.3%. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses decreased from 7.9% in the second quarter of 1996 to 6.0% in the second quarter of 1997, primarily as a result of the 41.0% increase in net sales during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996. In addition, research and development expenses for the new electronic whiteboard IBID(TM) have decreased compared to last 8 year's second quarter. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, research and development spending increased $464,000 or 14.0% over the same period in 1996. The increase in research and development expenses resulted primarily from continued development projects in touchscreen technologies, especially resistive products. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by $1,083,000 or 31.1%, to $4,568,000. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased from 15.2% in the second quarter of 1996 to 14.2% in the second quarter of 1997, primarily as a result of the 41.0% increase in net sales over the same period. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, sales and marketing expenses increased by $2,499,000 or 37.0% to $9,258,000. As a percentage of net sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased from 15.4% in the first six months of 1996 to 14.8% in the first six months of 1997. The absolute dollar increase in sales and marketing expenses resulted primarily from new product introduction costs and expanded infrastructure associated with the Ibid(TM) Business Products Division, as well as expenses resulting from two new international sales offices in Korea and Hong Kong, which opened during the quarter ended June 30, 1997, and increased spending to support the sales growth, including commissions. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased from the corresponding period of 1996 by $616,000 or 43.2% to $2,041,000. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, general and administrative expenses increased over the corresponding period of 1996 by $1,128,000 or 40.4% to $3,917,000. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to 6.3% from 6.2% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and held constant at 6.3% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The absolute increase in spending reflects costs associated with the expanding domestic and international operations and with the Business Products Division. Amortization of Intangible Assets For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, operating expenses included $119,000 of amortization relating to various acquisitions and purchases of technologies, as compared to $112,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, amortization expense was $238,000 as compared to $223,000 for the comparable period of 1996. Operating Income Operating income in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 of $3,313,000 represented an increase of $1,509,000 or 83.6% over the second quarter of 1996. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, operating income of $6,149,000 reflects an increase of $2,680,000 or 77.3% over the comparable period of 1996. For the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, international operations accounted for 5.5% and 6.3%, respectively, of operating income. For the six- month periods ended June 30, 1997, and June 30, 1996 international operations accounted for 3.3% and 1.2% respectively of operating income. Arbitration Costs During the second quarter of 1997, the Company recorded $595,000 in one-time special charges related to the final settlement of an arbitration case against Nissha Printing Company Ltd. During the second quarter of 1996 the Company incurred $591,000 in arbitration costs related to the same International Arbitration. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 arbitration cost were $595,000, and $718,000, respectively, reflecting the one-time settlement charges in 1997 as compared to the on-going arbitration costs in 1996. This completes the Company's obligations pursuant to this matter. Provision for Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate for both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 was 36.0% as compared to 36.5% for the comparable periods of 1996. The effective tax rates in all periods differed from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily as a result of the provision for state income taxes and the inability of the Company to record a tax benefit from certain foreign operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by the benefit related to the Company's foreign sales corporation and tax-exempt interest income. 9 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of June 30, 1997, the Company had net working capital of $61,252,000, including approximately $33,248,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company reported net cash used by operating activities of $1,504,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 1997. The use of cash was required to support both the expanding touchscreen business and the new Ibid product line. Additionally, the Company maintains a $3,000,000 bank line of credit. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its bank line of credit. During 1997, the Company constructed and occupied a 57,000 square-foot facility on land purchased in 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred approximately $2,500,000 of costs associated with this construction. Pending operating 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 working capital and capital expenditure requirements, at least through 1998. While the Company regularly evaluates acquisition candidates, conducts preliminary discussions regarding acquisitions and intends to pursue acquisition opportunities available to it, there can be no assurance that any such acquisition will be made or if any such acquisition is completed, that cash consideration will be offered by the Company. The discussion contained in this section, as well as elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, may contain forward-looking statements 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 projected. 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 any revisions to these forward- looking statements which may be necessary to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. 10 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings The Company was involved in an international arbitration entitled MicroTouch Systems, Inc. vs. Nissha Printing Co. Ltd., ("Nissha") which was under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"). The case was based on the Company's claims that Nissha breached non-competition provisions and other terms of a distribution agreement between the Company and Nissha. The Company was informed in January, 1997 that while it had won the case based on the merits of its claim, any recovery of damages was time barred under the terms of the original agreement between the two parties in the dispute. As a result, the Company was required to pay a portion of Nissha's fees and costs associated with the arbitration, which portion totaled $595,000 as determined by the arbitrators in the case. This completes the company's obligations pursuant to this matter. ITEM 4. Submission of matters to a vote of security holders.
