In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (2) INVENTORIES Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market, consist of: MARCH 31 December 31 1996 1995 ---------- ----------- Components and subassemblies $2,356,744 $ 4,471,969 Work in process 1,957,089 1,498,588 Finished goods 4,919,591 4,563,595 ---------- ----------- $9,233,424 $10,534,152 ========== =========== (3) COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, net income per common and common equivalent share was determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, primarily resulting from dilutive stock options and warrants, were converted using the treasury stock method. 6 Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As an aid to understanding the Company's operating results, the following table sets forth certain information derived from the Consolidated Statements of Income of the Company. (All amounts are expressed as a percentage of total revenue except gross profit which is expressed as a percentage of the related revenue.) Three months ended March 31 ------------------ 1996 1995 -------- -------- REVENUE: Product sales 77.7% 77.9% Service fees 22.3 22.1 ----- ----- Total revenue 100.0 100.0 ----- ----- GROSS PROFIT: Product sales 65.0 71.9 Service fees 20.2 16.8 ----- ----- Total gross profit 55.0 59.7 ----- ----- OPERATING EXPENSES: Sales and marketing 34.6 24.5 Engineering and development 14.1 14.6 General and administrative 8.0 7.3 ----- ----- Total operating expenses 56.7 46.4 ----- ----- INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS (1.7) 13.3 Other income 1.8 2.0 ----- ----- INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES .1 15.3 Provision for income taxes - 6.0 ----- ----- NET INCOME .1% 9.3% ===== ===== REVENUE The Company's revenue primarily includes the sale and support of its Channelink products for the high-performance networking market and licensing, sale, and support of its Brixton hardware and software products for the enterprise-wide application access and interoperability market. Revenue increased 19% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. Revenue from the Channelink product line totaled $19.1 million, an increase of 24% when compared to $15.4 million in the first quarter of 1995. Revenue from the Brixton product line totaled $3.3 million, an increase of 11% when compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 1995. Revenue from product sales totaled $17.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 19% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. The 7 increase in product sales primarily resulted from the sale of the Company's Channelink products for network-based storage applications to two new OEM customers. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to provide network-based storage connectivity products to IBM. The contract, which runs through December 31, 1996, is expected to provide approximately $7 million of revenue to the Company. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company recognized approximately $1.7 million of the expected revenue under this agreement. In addition, direct sales of the Company's Channelink products to end user customers in North America also increased during the first quarter of 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. Revenue from service fees, which primarily reflects purchased maintenance service from the Company's technical support personnel, increased 20% for the three- month period ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. This increase primarily resulted from the growing installed base of customers using the Company's Channelink and Brixton products. The Company derived approximately 26% and 33% of its revenue from international customers for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The percentage of revenue derived from international customers for any given period is subject to fluctuation because of the variable timing of sizable orders from customers both internationally and in North America, and the Company does not believe that these results are indicative of a trend toward less international revenue as a percentage of total revenue. Throughout most of 1995, the Company attempted to use its existing Channelink sales force to sell Brixton products. The Company has determined that this approach diverted sales focus away from the Company's traditional Channelink market and was not an effective approach for the sale of Brixton products. As a result, the Company has hired additional sales and marketing personnel to focus exclusively on market opportunities for Brixton products and services through direct sales and alternate distribution channels. In addition, the Company has hired additional pre-sales and post-sales systems engineers dedicated to the support of the Brixton product line. While the Company believes that the market for traditional data center consolidation applications for its Channelink products has matured, it believes that additional network-based storage applications should result in continuing demand for its Channelink products. In addition, the Company will continue to pursue the sale of its Channelink products through alternate distribution channels. The levels of Channelink revenue reported by the Company in any given period have been, and will continue to be impacted by, among other things, the timing of the introduction of certain storage products by IBM. The Company believes that the improved product function associated with new Brixton products released in 1995 and the anticipated growth in market size, coupled with the increase in the number of employees dedicated to the marketing and sale of the Brixton products, should result in increased Brixton revenue in 1996. In 1996, the Company believes service fees for its Channelink and Brixton product lines will grow at approximately the same rate as the installed base of these products. 8 The Company expects to continue to see quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenue. The timing of sizable orders, because of their relative impact on total quarterly sales, may contribute to such fluctuations. As a result of the Company's strategy to hire a separate sales and marketing organization dedicated exclusively to the Brixton market, the introduction of additional network-based storage applications for its Channelink products, and the Company's existing $7 million OEM agreement with IBM, the Company believes revenue in 1996 will increase when compared to 1995. SPECIAL CHARGES In connection with the management reorganization announced by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company issued a common equity put option to a former officer and director. The Company has adjusted compensation expense in the current period, and will be required to adjust compensation expense in future periods, as the market price of its common stock increases or decreases until such time as the Company has no remaining obligation pursuant to the common equity put option. The adjustment to compensation expense due to the increase in the market price of the Company's common stock for the three months ended March 31, 1996 has been reflected as a $315,000 reduction in engineering and development expense. GROSS PROFIT For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the gross profit margin from product sales was 65%, as compared to 72% for the same period of 1995. The decrease in gross margins from product sales primarily resulted from the sale of lower margin network-based storage connectivity products to IBM, and a charge of approximately $800,000 for inventory obsolescence. As a result of continuing worldwide competition, and continued sales of its lower margin network- based storage connectivity products, the Company anticipates that its gross profit margins on sales of its Channelink products will be somewhat lower for the remainder of 1996 when compared to the same periods of 1995. The Company believes that the anticipated decrease in gross profit margins from its Channelink products for the remainder of 1996 may be offset somewhat by an increase in the percentage of product sales coming from the Company's higher margin Brixton software products. Actual gross profit margins on product sales in 1996 will depend on a number of factors, including the mix of products, market acceptance of the Brixton product line, the relative amount of products sold through indirect distribution channels, the requirement to pay licensing fees for the right to use certain technology, and the level of continuing price competition. Gross profit margins from service fees were 20% and 17% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in gross profit margins from service fees primarily resulted from a steadily increasing base of installed Channelink units covered by maintenance contracts, which provides for economies of scale. The Company anticipates that it will make additional investments in its service business, particularly to support the Brixton 9 product line. The Company currently anticipates that gross profit margins from its service business for the remainder of 1996 will be somewhat lower when compared to the first quarter of 1996. OPERATING EXPENSES During the first quarter of 1996, the Company continued to expand its sales and marketing organizations, with a particular emphasis on new employees dedicated to the Brixton product line. Sales and marketing expenses increased 69% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period of 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expense and other costs associated with the continued expansion of the Company's sales organization, including fringe benefits, travel, recruitment, and occupancy costs. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses will be higher through the remainder of 1996 when compared to the same period of 1995 due to the expense associated with the additional sales and marketing employees hired in recent quarters. Engineering and development costs, primarily consisting of compensation and related fringe benefits, depreciation, and consulting expenses related to new product development and enhancements to existing products increased approximately 15% during the three months ended March 31, 1996, when compared to the same period of 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in expenditures for engineering prototype materials and supplies. Engineering and development expenses, excluding the impact of the previously discussed common equity put option, were approximately 15% of revenue for both the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The Company anticipates investing approximately 14% of total revenue on engineering and development in 1996, (excluding the impact of the common equity put option) which includes investments in current and future products. The Company believes a sustained high level of investment is essential to customer satisfaction and future revenue. General and administrative expenses increased approximately 30% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The increase primarily relates to higher contract labor, consulting, and shareholder expenses. General and administrative expenses were 8% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 7% of total revenue during the same period of 1995. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses will be approximately 7% of revenue in 1996. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes at an effective tax rate of 35% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 39% during the same period of 1995. The Company currently anticipates that its effective tax for the remainder of 1996 will be approximately 35%. 10 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Beginning in 1996, the Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). Under SFAS No. 123, companies are permitted to adopt a new method of accounting for stock compensation awards which is based on recognition of a charge equal to the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant. Alternatively, companies may continue using the methodology specified in APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" to account for stock based compensation, with expanded disclosure in the notes to the annual financial statements of the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share, assuming application of the new accounting method outlined in SFAS No. 123. Adoption of this new pronouncement has not had a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has historically financed its operations through the private and public sales of equity securities, bank borrowings under lines of credit, capital equipment leases, and cash generated from operations. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at March 31, 1996 totaled $29.2 million, an increase of $.8 million during the first three months of 1996. This increase resulted from a $2.8 million increase due to cash provided by operations, financing activities (primarily consisting of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options), and the effects of exchange rate changes, partially offset by the cash used for investing in property and equipment, field support spares and other assets of $2.0 million. Expenditures for capital equipment and field support spares have been, and will likely continue to be, a significant capital requirement. The Company plans to continue to invest aggressively in productivity tools for its employees and in its field support spares. The Company believes that its current balances of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, when combined with anticipated cash flow from operations, will be adequate to fund its operating plans and meet its currently anticipated aggregate capital requirements, at least through 1996. However, if the Company does not generate revenue as expected or incurs unanticipated expenses, or needs additional investment funds to react to changes in its marketplace, it may need additional capital earlier or in amounts greater than would otherwise be required. The Company believes that inflation has not had a material impact on its operations or liquidity to date. 11 FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION The matters discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding future results and requirements are forward looking statements. These statements involve risk and uncertainties in addition to the factors discussed above, including market acceptance of the Brixton products, the availability of new employees experienced in the Brixton marketplace, growth and timing of new applications for the Company's Channelink products, particularly in the area of network-based storage, uncertainties due to the Company's recently announced management reorganization, including its ability to retain a new Chief Executive Officer, changes in general economic conditions, cost and availability of components, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. In addition, the markets for the Company's products are characterized by significant competition, and the Company's results may be adversely affected by the actions of existing or future competitors, including the development of new technologies, the introduction of new products, and the reduction of prices by such competitors to gain or retain market share. 12 PART II.
