AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except per share amounts) (unaudited) Note 1 - Company and Basis of Presentation Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") is a manufacturer of television and satellite signal distribution equipment supplied to the private cable television and broadcast industries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results for the second quarter of 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the period presented and the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1998. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto that were included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. Note 2 - Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements In June, 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," were issued. SFAS 130 addresses standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components and SFAS 131 requires disclosure of reportable operating segments. In February, 1998, SFAS 132, "Employer's Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Plans" was issued. SFAS 132 standardizes pension disclosures. These statements are effective in 1998. The effect of the adoptions did not have a material impact on the Company's net earnings per share. Note 3 - Inventories Inventories are summarized as follows: June 30, Dec. 31, 1998 1997 ------- ------- Raw Materials .......................... $10,631 $ 8,740 Work in process ........................ 3,596 2,907 Finished Goods ......................... 7,026 6,228 ------- ------- $21,253 $17,875 ======= ======= Note 4 - Acquisition On March 25, 1998, the Company acquired all of the assets and technology rights of the interdiction business (the "Interdiction Business") of Scientific-Atlanta, Inc. ("Scientific") for a purchase price consisting of (i) $19 million in cash, (ii) 68 shares of the Company's common stock, (iii) a warrant to purchase 150 additional shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $14.25 per share and (iv) assumption by the Company of certain obligations under executory contracts with vendors and customers and certain warranty obligations and current liabilities of the Interdiction Business. The Interdiction Business generated approximately $16 million in revenues for the prior twelve month period. The Company believes that Scientific's interdiction products, which have been engineered primarily to serve the franchised cable market, will supplement the Company's VideoMask(TM) products, which are primarily focused on the Private Cable market. In addition, the Company expects that the technology acquired as part of the Interdiction Business will enhance its ability to design products that meet the specific needs of all cable providers, while improving its position in the franchised cable market. Scientific will provide certain manufacturing, consulting and other transition services to the Company pursuant to agreements executed by the parties during a limited period following the acquisition in order to permit the Company to fulfill sales orders of the Interdiction Business for the transition period following the closing. -5- BLONDER TONGUE LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In thousands, except per share amounts) (unaudited) Note 5 - Line of Credit In October, 1997, the Company executed a new $15 million revolving line of credit with its bank, on which funds may be borrowed at the bank's overnight base rate ("OBR") plus a margin ranging from .95% to 2.45%, depending upon the calculation of certain financial covenants (7.45% at June 30, 1998). As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $1,097 outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is collateralized by a security interest in all of the Company's assets. The agreement contains restrictions that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios as well as restrictions on the payment of dividends. In addition, the Company has an acquisition loan commitment which may be drawn upon by the Company to finance acquisitions in accordance with certain terms. The acquisition loan commitment had been $15 million until March, 1998 when it was increased to $20 million to accommodate the acquisition of Scientific's Interdiction Business. Funds may be borrowed under the acquisition loan commitment at OBR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.75%, depending upon the calculation of certain financial covenants (7.75% at June 30, 1998). At June 30, 1998, there was $19 million outstanding under the acquisition loan commitment. The line of credit and the acquisition loan commitment expire on June 30, 1999. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Statements In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operation, performance, development and results of the Company's business include, but are not limited to, those matters discussed herein in the sections entitled Part I, Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "project" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. Blonder Tongue undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 (See Item 1: Business, Item 3: Legal Proceedings and Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations). Second three months of 1998 Compared with second three months of 1997 Net Sales. Net sales increased $4,950,000, or 31.8%, to $20,525,000 in the second three months of 1998 from $15,575,000 in the second three months of 1997. International sales accounted for $272,000 (1.3% of total sales) for the second three months of 1998 compared to $397,000 (2.5% of total sales) for the second three months of 1997. The increase in sales is primarily attributed to an increase in sales of interdiction equipment including sales to the franchised cable market. Net sales included approximately $7,085,000 of interdiction equipment for the second three months of 1998 compared to approximately $1,670,000 for the second three months of 1997. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased to $13,786,000 for the second three months of 1998 from $10,291,000 for the second three months of 1997 and also increased as a percentage of sales to 67.2% from 66.1%. The increase as a percentage of sales was caused primarily by a higher proportion of sales during the period being comprised of lower margin products. -6- Selling Expenses. Selling expenses increased to $1,096,000 for the second three months of 1998 from $1,066,000 in the second three months of 1997, due to an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses as a result of an increase in headcount offset by a decrease in commissions due to the reduction in the number of sales representatives. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $1,694,000 for the second three months of 1998 from $1,069,000 for the second three months of 1997 and also increased as a percentage of sales to 8.3% for the second three months of 1998 from 6.9% for the second three months of 1997. The $625,000 increase can be attributed to an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts along with an increase in the amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of Scientific's Interdiction Business offset by a decrease in the accrual for executive bonuses. Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased to $550,000 in the second three months of 1998 from $536,000 in the second three months of 1997, but decreased as a percentage of sales to 2.7% from 3.4%. The increase in dollar amount is attributable to an increase in purchased materials for research and development. Operating Income. Operating income increased 30.1% to $3,399,000 for the second three months of 1998 from $2,613,000 for the second three months of 1997. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 16.6% in the second three months of 1998 from 16.8% in the second three months of 1997. Interest and Other Expenses. Other expense increased to $438,000 in the second three months of 1998 from $96,000 in the second three months of 1997. These expenses in the second three months of 1998 consisted of interest expense in the amount of 438,000. These expenses in the second three months of 1997 consisted of interest expense in the amount of $110,000 offset by $14,000 of interest income. Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the second three months of 1998 increased to $1,185,000 from $1,007,000 for the second three months of 1997 as a result of increased taxable income. First six months of 1998 Compared with first six months of 1997 Net Sales. Net sales increased $6,028,000, or 20.4%, to $35,644,000 in the first six months of 1998 from $29,616,000 in the first six months of 1997. International sales accounted for $781,000 (2.2% of total sales) for the first six months of 1998 compared to $763,000 (2.6% of total sales) for the first six months of 1997. The increase in sales is primarily attributed to the increase in sales of interdiction equipment including sales to the franchised cable market. Net sales included approximately $10,007,000 of interdiction equipment for the first six months of 1998 compared to approximately $3,196,000 for the first six months of 1997. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased to $23,810,000 for the first six months of 1998 from $19,587,000 for the first six months of 1997 and increased as a percentage of sales to 66.8% from 66.1%. The increase as a percentage of sales was caused primarily by a greater proportion of sales during the period being comprised of lower margin products. Selling Expenses. Selling expenses increased to $2,408,000 in the first six months of 1998 from $2,197,000 in the first six months of 1997, due to an increase in salary and employee benefit expenses as a result of an increase in headcount offset by a decrease in commissions due to the reduction in the number of sales representatives. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $3,102,000 in the first six months of 1998 from $2,193,000 for the first six months of 1997 and increased as a percentage of sales to 8.7% in the first six months of 1998 from 7.4% for the first six months of 1997. The $909,000 increase can be attributed to an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts along with an increase in the amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of Scientific's Interdiction Business offset by a decrease in the accrual for executive bonuses. Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 6.9% to $1,127,000 in the first six months of 1998 from $1,054,000 in the first six months of 1997 but decreased as a percentage of sales to 3.2% from 3.6%. The increase in dollar amount is attributable to an increase in purchased materials for research and development. -7- Operating Income. Operating income increased 13.3% to $5,197,000 for the first six months of 1998 from $4,585,000 for the first six months of 1997. Operating income as a percentage of sales decreased to 14.6% in the first six months of 1998 from 15.5% in the first six months of 1997. Interest and Other Expenses. Other expense, net, increased to $561,000 in the first six months of 1998 from $185,000 in the first six months of 1997. These expenses in the first six months of 1998 consisted of interest expense of $562,000 offset by interest income of $1,000. These expenses in the first six months of 1997 consisted of interest expense in the amount of $211,000, offset by interest income of $26,000. Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the first six months of 1998 increased to $1,855,000 from $1,760,000 for the first six months of 1997 as a result of increased taxable income. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 was $1,355,000, compared to cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, which was $2,318,000. Cash flows from operating activities have been positive, due primarily to net earnings of $2,781,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase in income taxes payable, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Cash used in investing activities was $19,399,000, of which $19,000,000 was utilized for the acquisition of the Scientific Interdiction Business, and $399,000 was attributable to capital expenditures for new equipment. The Company anticipates additional capital expenditures during calendar year 1998, aggregating approximately $1,100,000, which will be used for the purchase of automated assembly and test equipment. The Company does not have any present plans or commitments for material capital expenditures for fiscal year 1999. Cash provided by financing activities was $18,782,000 for the first six months of 1998, comprised primarily of $19,000,000 in proceeds from the Company's acquisition loan commitment. In October, 1997, the Company executed a new $15 million revolving line of credit with its bank, on which funds may be borrowed at the bank's overnight base rate ("OBR") plus a margin ranging from .95% to 2.45%, depending upon the calculation of certain financial covenants (7.45% at June 30, 1998). As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $1,097,000 outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is collateralized by a security interest in all of the Company's assets. The agreement contains restrictions that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios as well as restrictions on the payment of dividends. In addition, the Company has an acquisition loan commitment which may be drawn upon by the Company to finance acquisitions in accordance with certain terms. The acquisition loan commitment had been $15 million until March, 1998 when it was increased to $20 million to accommodate the acquisition of Scientific's Interdiction Business. Funds may be borrowed under the acquisition loan commitment at OBR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.75%, depending upon the calculation of certain financial covenants (7.75% at June 30, 1998). At June 30, 1998, there was $19 million outstanding under the acquisition loan commitment. The line of credit and the acquisition loan commitment expire on June 30, 1999. The Company currently anticipates that the cash generated from operations, existing cash balances and amounts available under its existing line of credit, will be sufficient to satisfy its foreseeable working capital needs. Historically, the Company has satisfied its cash requirements primarily from net cash provided by operating activities and from borrowings under its line of credit. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," were issued. SFAS 130 addresses standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components and SFAS 131 requires disclosure of reportable operating segments. In February 1998, SFAS 132, "Employer's Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Plans" was issued. SFAS 132 standardizes pension disclosures. These statements are effective in 1998. The effect of the adoptions did not have a material impact on the Company's net earnings per share. -8- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
