MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended January 31, 1995 Compared to the
Three Months Ended January 31, 1994
Net sales were $50.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 as
compared to $38.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Sales of linear
and mixed signal systems increased approximately 20% year-to-year reflecting the
strong demand the Company has experienced for these products. Sales of these
systems to various worldwide facilities of two European customers accounted for
approximately 30% of total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Sales
of digital systems in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were also substantially
higher than the low sales level of the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Service
revenues of $6.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were $0.9 million
higher than the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
The gross profit margin was 34.9% of net sales in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 as compared to 28.7%, before a provision for excess inventories, in
the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase in mixed signal and digital
shipments over the second quarter of fiscal 1994 resulted in proportionately
lower fixed manufacturing costs on the higher level of shipments. In addition,
sales of digital systems in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were at higher
average selling prices as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Higher
margins on sales of mixed signal systems also contributed to the improvement in
the gross profit margin. In the second quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company took
a $3.5 million provision for excess inventories which further reduced the gross
profit margin.
Engineering and product development and selling, general and
administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, combined, were
$2.3 million less than the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The reduction in
operating expenses is a result of the Company's restructuring and cost reduction
measures initiated in March 1994, which included a plan to eliminate excess
leased facilities and a workforce reduction. The restructuring program and cost
reduction measures have primarily reduced selling, general and administrative
expenses. In the second quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company took a $14.4 million
charge as a result of this restructuring program.
Interest expense was $0.2 million higher in the second quarter of fiscal
1995 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase in interest
expense is a result of the $20.0 million term loan the Company received from
Ando Electric Co., Ltd. in July 1994. This increase was partially offset by a
reduction in interest on lower average bank borrowings in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
The tax provision of $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995
relates to certain state and foreign tax provisions. The Company is in a net
operating loss carryforward position in most tax jurisdictions. In the second
quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company had no tax provision due to the loss for the
period.
The Company's Japanese subsidiary operated at a small profit in the
second quarter of fiscal 1995 and the minority partner's share of the
subsidiary's operating results was insignificant. In the second quarter of
fiscal 1994, the minority partner's share of the subsidiary's loss for the
period was $0.4 million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $1.9 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 as compared to a net loss of $24.0 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1994. The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 included a
restructuring charge of $14.4 million and a provision for excess inventories of
$3.5 million. The improvement in the operating results of the Company in the
second quarter of fiscal 1995 reflected the increase in revenues and gross
profit margin in combination with the lower level of operating expenses.
Six Months Ended January 31, 1995 Compared to the
Six Months Ended January 31, 1994
Net sales were $96.8 million for the six months ended January 31,1995 as
compared to $85.3 million for the six months ended January 31, 1994. The
increase in sales was primarily a result of the substantially higher level of
mixed signal system shipments, particularly to European customers. However, this
improvement in sales of the Company's mixed signal products was partially offset
by lower digital system shipments in the six months ended January 31, 1995.
Service revenues increased $2.2 million in the six months ended January 31, 1995
as compared to the six months ended January 31, 1994.
The gross profit margin was 34.4% of net sales in the six months ended
January 31, 1995 as compared to 30.4% of net sales, before a provision for
excess inventories, in the six months ended January 31, 1994. The improvement in
the gross profit margin was primarily a result of the increase in mixed signal
shipments at higher margins. In addition, sales of digital systems in the six
months ended January 31, 1995 were at comparatively higher selling prices. In
the second quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company took a $3.5 million provision for
excess inventories.
Engineering and product development expenses decreased $0.7 million and
selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.4 million lower in the six
months ended January 31, 1995 as compared to the six months ended January 31,
1994. The reduction in operating expenses was a result of the Company's
restructuring and cost reduction measures initiated in March 1994. The Company
took a $14.4 million charge in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 as a result of
this restructuring program.
Interest expense was $0.6 million higher in the six months ended January
31, 1995 as compared to the six months ended January 31, 1994. The increase in
interest expense is a result of the $20.0 million term loan the Company received
from Ando Electric Co., Ltd. in July 1994. This increase was partially offset by
a reduction in interest on lower average bank borrowings in the six months ended
January 31, 1995 as compared to the six months ended January 31, 1994.
The tax provision of $0.1 million in the six months ended January 31,
1995 relates to certain state and foreign tax provisions. The Company is in a
net operating loss carryforward position in most tax jurisdictions. There was no
tax provision in the six months ended January 31, 1994 due to the loss for the
period.
The Company's Japanese subsidiary's result of operations were
approximately break-even in the six months ended January 31, 1995 and the
minority partner's share of the subsidiary's results was insignificant. In the
six months ended January 31, 1994, the Company's Japanese subsidiary operated at
a loss and the minority partner's share of the subsidiary's loss was $0.4
million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In the six months ended January 31, 1995, the Company had net income of
$2.7 million as compared to a net loss of $25.6 million in the six months ended
January 31, 1994. The loss for the six months ended January 31, 1995 included a
restructuring charge of $14.4 million and a provision for excess inventories of
$3.5 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Cash and equivalents were $21.4 million at January 31, 1995 as compared
to $17.2 million at July 31, 1994. The increase in cash and equivalents of $4.2
million in the first six months of fiscal 1995 was a result of $7.9 million of
net cash provided by operating activities, $4.1 million of net cash used for
property and equipment expenditures and $0.4 million of net cash provided by
financing activities.
In the second quarter of fiscal 1995, net cash provided by operating
activities was $10.0 million. The Company used $2.1 million in net cash for
operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The significant
improvement in cash flow from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 1995
was primarily a result of the Company's ability to deliver systems more evenly
during the quarter. As a result, the Company was able to increase the level of
accounts receivable collections on shipments made during the period. Accounts
receivable declined $9.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, although
sales in the period increased $3.2 million over the first quarter of fiscal
1995. In the first six months of fiscal 1995, inventories increased $2.6 million
to meet the higher sales levels and to allow for more even shipments during the
period. The increase in accounts payable of $3.2 million in the first six months
of fiscal 1995 relates to the higher level of inventory purchases during the
period. At January 31, 1995, the Company had a restructuring reserve of $9.9
million remaining to cover the estimated future cash flows relating primarily to
excess leased facilities. Cash outflows in the first six months of fiscal 1995
were $1.4 million for excess leased facilities and $0.4 million for severance
payments.
Additions to property and equipment of $4.1 million in the first six
months of fiscal 1995 were less than deprecation charges of $4.7 million.
Equipment additions during the period were primarily used in product development
and customer support activities.
At January 31, 1995 and July 31, 1994, the Company's Japanese subsidiary
had $6.9 million in bank borrowings outstanding. The Company had no borrowings
outstanding under its domestic bank line at January 31, 1995 or July 31, 1994.
In the six months ended January 31, 1994, the Company used $13.8 million
of net cash for operating activities as a result of the loss for the period,
before restructuring charges and provision for excess inventories, and the
increase in working capital requirements. The Company had $7.6 million of
additions to property and equipment in the six months ended January 31, 1994, of
which $2.8 million was financed through leasing arrangements. The Company
received $4.0 million from the sale of its common stock to several private
investors in January 1994. The Company also increased its bank borrowings by
$5.4 million in the six months ended January 31, 1994 to help meet its cash
requirements.
Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash resources to
meet its remaining fiscal 1995 cash requirements. These resources include
existing cash balances, borrowing availability under domestic and Japanese bank
lines and future cash flows from operations.
