MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues increased 22% in the first quarter of 1997 to $20.7 million from $17.0 million in the first quarter of 1996. The increase in revenues was generated primarily by the Company's defense subsidiary, Engineered Air Systems, Inc. (Engineered Air). Production levels remained high at Engineered Air, driven by its contracts for Flight Line Air Conditioners, Water Distribution Systems, Revetment Kits and Aviation Ground Power Units. Gross profit for the first quarter of 1997 increased $0.6 million, or 26%, over the amount for the comparable 1996 period reflecting an increase in production volume at Engineered Air and a significant margin expansion at Engineered Specialty Plastics, Inc. (ESP). The gross margin for the first quarter of 1997 was 15.0% as compared to 14.5% for the first quarter of 1996. Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.74 million and $1.54 million in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. As a percent of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased from 9.0% in 1996 to 8.4% in 1997 as a result of management's continuing efforts to limit the growth of overhead expenses while increasing consolidated revenues. Interest expense decreased $98,000, or 72%, in the first quarter of 1997 as compared with the first quarter of 1996. This was the result of strong operational cash flow at both Engineered Air and ESP. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At January 31, 1997, the Company's working capital and ratio of current assets to current liabilities were $9.3 million and 2.43 to 1 as compared to $8.4 million and 1.92 to 1 at October 31, 1996. As of January 31, 1997, the Company had $6.4 million of unused credit related to its loan agreement. BUSINESS AND MARKET CONSIDERATIONS As of January 31, 1997, EASI's funded backlog of defense orders was $77 million, with a related $154 million of government options. This compares to $102 million of funded backlog, with a related $87 million of government options at January 31, 1996. The Company is heavily dependent on the U.S. Government for business. Approximately 71% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended January 31, 1997 were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government and its agencies. The Company began a plan of diversification in 1993 with the acquisition of ESP. This acquisition provided expansion into the commercial marketplace. Management is continuing to pursue potential acquisitions, primarily within the defense industry. 7 8 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Items 1-5 Not applicable. Item 6 (a) Exhibits 4.
