In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES Inventories at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, consisted of: 1997 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw materials and subassemblies $1,953,539 $1,190,170 Finished goods consigned to customers and others 516,717 625,222 Finished goods 762,638 880,569 -------------------------- $3,232,893 $2,695,961 ========================== NOTE 3 - EQUITY FINANCING In March 1997, the Board of Directors designated 900 shares of the Company's authorized preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. This stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $10,000 per share, with a five percent per annum conversion premium. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote or to receive dividends. On March 24, 1997, the Company sold 855 shares of Series B Preferred Stock through a private placement at its stated value of $10,000 per share. Total net proceeds from this private placement were $7,951,558, after reduction for commissions and issuance costs of $598,442. In conjunction with the transaction, the placement agent was granted a five year warrant to purchase 105,556 shares of common stock at $4.86 per share. In addition, the investors have a right to receive warrants to purchase common stock equal to 20% of their original investment not converted to common stock as of March 24, 1998, divided by the conversion price then in effect, with an exercise price equal to 115% of the average closing bid price for five days ending on the one year anniversary date. The Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on March 24, 1999, automatically converts into common stock at the applicable conversion rate. NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares, consisting of options, warrants and convertible preferred stock for all periods, were not included in the computation as their effect was antidilutive. However, the eight and five percent premium earned by the preferred shareholders in 1997 was added to the net loss for computation purposes. 6 The FASB has issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15. Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of earnings per share by all entities that have common stock or potential common stock, such as options, warrants and convertible securities, outstanding that trade in a public market. Those entities that have only common stock outstanding are required to present basic earnings per-share amounts. All other entities are required to present basic and diluted per-share amounts. Diluted per-share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations. All entities required to present per-share amounts must initially apply Statement No. 128 for annual and interim periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of Statement No. 128 would have had no effect on reported earnings (loss) per share. NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCY The Company along with Stephen O'Hara, Lee B. Lewis and Dale Showers, has been named as a defendant in a securities action captioned Richard Radman and Sol Rosenthal v. Ancor Communications, Inc., et al, filed in United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on July 24, 1997. The lawsuit, a putative class action, alleges that the Company violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when it allegedly made misleading public disclosures relating to the Company's contract with Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. and the Company's quarterly revenues and seeks compensatory losses in an undetermined amount. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. The Company is unable to determine if there will be a material adverse outcome at this time. 7 ITEM 2 ------ MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data as a percentage of net sales. For the Three Months For the Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 -------------------- ------------------ 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net Sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Goods Sold 59.1 54.5 59.8 54.3 Gross Profit 40.9 45.5 40.2 45.7 Operating Expenses: Selling, general & admin. 84.9 50.4 84.2 52.1 Research & development 47.7 38.6 51.9 44.2 Total operating expenses 132.6 89.0 136.1 96.3 Operating loss (91.8) (43.5) (95.9) (50.6) Other income (expense) Interest expense (0.1) (1.6) (0.1) (1.8) Other, net 4.6 4.5 3.0 3.8 ----- ----- ----- ----- Net Loss (87.3)% (40.5)% (93.0)% (48.6)% ===== ===== ===== ===== Net Sales Net sales for the second quarter 1997 increased by approximately $5,800 (0.3%) from 1996 to approximately $2,102,000. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased by approximately $393,000 (11%) from the same period 1996 to approximately $3,905,000. This increase in net sales is due primarily to a significant increase in net sales to an international customer as a result of increased market acceptance of the Company's Fibre Channel products overseas, offset by a decrease in sales domestically. Whereas the Fibre Channel adoption cycle has taken longer in the U.S., international net sales in the second quarter increased 68% from approximately $1,122,000 in 1996 to approximately $1,880,000 in 1997, representing 89% of net sales to all customers for the quarter. International net sales in the first six months increased 197% from approximately $1,140,000 in 1996 to approximately $3,381,000 in 1997, representing 87% of net sales for the first half. 8 The second quarter 1997 net sales increase includes the effects of an allowance against sales of $332,000, recorded during the second quarter of 1997, for product returns and customer stock rotation. The first six months 1997 net sales increase includes the effects of an allowance against sales of $700,000 for product returns and customer stock rotation. The Company does not generally provide customers with a right of return at the date of sale; however, in response to significant pressures from the marketplace, the Company has allowed product returns in the past from certain customers as a marketing concession to stimulate a positive impression of the Company and its products in the marketplace. In addition, resellers have incorrectly anticipated the configuration needed by end user equipment purchasers and have requested that purchased but unused product be exchanged for the product needed to meet the end user requirements. Further, certain end users have requested that they purchase their initial products from the Company, instead of the reseller, which has resulted in credits issued to the resellers in the second half of 1996 and first quarter of 1997. As a result of all of these factors, the Company's net assets at June 30, 1997, include a return reserve of $195,000 ($390,000 gross sales less the estimated value of product to be returned). Gross Profit. Gross profit in the second quarter of 1997 decreased to approximately $859,000, or 40.9% of sales, from approximately $954,000, or 45.5% of sales, in the second quarter of 1996. Gross profit in the first six months of 1997 increased to approximately $1,568,000, or 40.2% of sales, from approximately $1,605,000, or 45.7% of sales, for the same period of 1996 The decreases in gross profit percentage are attributable to the sale of a greater percentage of adapters, which carry lower gross margins, in the second quarter and first six months of 1997 versus the same periods in the prior year. For both the second quarter and first six months of 1997 net sales included the sale of approximately three times the number of adapters as were sold in same periods in 1996. Operating Expense. The Company's operating expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were approximately $2,787,000, or 132.6% of net sales, compared to approximately $1,865,000, or 89.0% of net sales, in the second quarter of 1996. Operating expenses for the first six months of 1997 were approximately $5,313,000, or 136.1% of net sales, compared to approximately $3,381,000, or 96.3% of net sales, in the same period of 1996. The increase in operating expenses is due to an increase in the number of employees, increased development costs for the network products, increased promotion costs and increased selling expenses as sales volume increases. The number of employees at June 30, 1997 was 19% greater than at June 30, 1996, resulting in personnel and related expenses increasing $398,000 in the second quarter 1997 as compared with the second quarter 1996, and $816,000 in the first six months of 1997 as compared with the same period 1996. Additionally, the Company's ongoing aggressive commitment to front end spending for marketing and sales tactics resulted in advertising and marketing expenses increasing $297,000 in the second quarter 1997 as compared with the second quarter 1996, and $556,000 in the first six months of 1997 as compared with the same period 1996. Further, primarily due to amortization of capitalized software development costs, depreciation and amortization expense increased $154,000 in the second quarter 1997 as compared with the second quarter 1996, and $307,000 in the first six months of 1997 as compared with the same period 1996. Other Income (Expense). Because the Company repaid a $1.5 million note payable in June 1996, interest expense decreased to approximately $2,600 in the second quarter 1997 from approximately $33,000 in the 9 same period 1996. Similarly, interest expense decreased in the first six months of 1997 to approximately $5,200 from approximately $64,000 in the first six months of 1996. Interest income of approximately $96,000 and approximately $95,000 in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, and approximately $117,000 and approximately $134,000 in the first six month periods of 1997 and 1996, respectively, was earned from the investment of the net proceeds of preferred stock offerings occurring in March of each year. Net Loss The Company's net loss increased to approximately $1,835,000, or $0.18 per share in second quarter 1997, compared to a net loss of $849,000, or $0.10 per share in second quarter 1996. Net loss for the first six months of 1997 increased to approximately $3,632,000, or $0.36 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,706,000, or $0.20 per share in the same period 1996. The greater net loss is primarily attributable to greater operating expenses. Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $5,541,000 as of June 30, 1997, compared to approximately $1,511,000 as of December 31, 1996. Cash flows used in operating activities totaled approximately $3,100,000, due to the operating loss, net payments to vendors and inventory purchases in anticipation of future sales, as offset by net collections of accounts receivable. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $4,934,000 as a result of the purchase of short-term investments and equipment, which included upgrades of engineering desktop systems and continued internal construction of testing and tooling equipment for the next generation of Fibre Channel switching products. In March 1997, the Company completed a private placement transaction by selling 855 shares of Series B 5% Preferred Stock which provided net proceeds of approximately $8,000,000. In conjunction with the transaction, the placement agent was granted a five year warrant to purchase 105,556 shares of common stock at $4.86 per share. In addition, the investors have a right to receive warrants to purchase common stock equal to 20% of their original investment not converted to common stock as of March 24, 1998, divided by the conversion price then in effect, with an exercise price equal to 115% of the average closing bid price for five days ending on the one year anniversary date. The Company believes that the capital received from the private placement will provide adequate liquidity to fund growth, operations, and capital expenditures for 1997. 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
