The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1994. The financial statements, with the exception of the December 31, 1994 balance sheet, are unaudited and have not been examined by independent public accountants.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Results of Operations Net sales and revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 decreased 2% to $4,275,000 compared to $4,383,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the Company had net earnings of $61,000 compared to net earnings of $21,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. Retained earnings were $629,000 as of September 30, 1995 compared to $563,000 as of December 31, 1994. Working capital as of September 30, 1995 was $2,380,000 compared to $1,697,000 as of December 31, 1994. September 30, September 30, % Revenues for the quarter ended: 1995 1994 Change - ------------------------------ ------------- ------------- ------ Contract research and service revenues $3,261,000 $3,882,000 (16%) Manufacturing equipment sales 1,014,000 501,000 102% ---------- ---------- Net sales and revenues $4,275,000 $4,383,000 (2%) ========== ========== September 30, September 30, % Revenues for the nine months ended: 1995 1994 Change - ---------------------------------- ------------- ------------ ------ Contract research and service revenues $10,074,000 $11,468,000 (12%) Manufacturing equipment sales 3,443,000 1,797,000 92% ----------- ----------- Net sales and revenues $13,517,000 $13,265,000 2% =========== =========== Net sales and revenues for contract research and services declined 16% in 1995 to $3,261,000 compared to $3,882,000 in 1994. The decline in contract revenues is largely the result of the government's move toward programs requiring significant cost sharing, which management has elected to pursue cautiously. The orthopaedic processing service business has experienced price pressures due to competition and changes in the health care market which have negatively affected revenues and margins. Manufacturing equipment sales increased 102% to $1,014,000 compared to $501,000 in the same period of 1994 primarily due to increased interest in photovoltaic lines. September 30, % of September 30, % of % Cost of Sales for the quarter ended: 1995 Revenues 1994 Revenues Change - ----------------------------------- ------------ -------- ------------ -------- ------ Contract research and service cost of sales $2,242,000 69% $2,751,000 71% (2%) Manufacturing equipment cost of sales 847,000 84% 402,000 80% 4% ---------- ---------- Total cost of sales $3,089,000 72% $3,153,000 72% 0% ========== ========== September 30, % of September 30, % of % Cost of Sales for the nine months ended: 1995 Revenues 1994 Revenues Change - --------------------------------------- ------------ -------- ------------- -------- ------ Contract research and service cost of sales $ 7,116,000 71% $8,236,000 72% (1%) Manufacturing equipment cost of sales 2,993,000 87% 1,373,000 76% 11% ----------- ---------- Total cost of sales $10,109,000 75% $9,609,000 72% 3% =========== ========== - 7 - 8 The cost of contract research and service revenues decreased to 71% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to 72% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Cost of manufacturing equipment was 84% compared to 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 due to a changed product mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were 24% of sales compared to 27% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales is attributable to cost reduction steps management implemented in 1994 and 1995. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased 4% to $986,000 compared to $1,030,000 in 1994. Expenditures for capital equipment were $287,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $1,308,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Management continues its efforts to control capital spending. The Company incurred interest expense of $43,000 in the first nine months of 1995 and $94,000 in the same period of 1994, of which $500 was capitalized in 1995 compared to $29,000 in 1994 in connection with internally constructed machinery and equipment. Liquidity and Capital Resources On September 30, 1993, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with a bank. This agreement established a $2 million revolving credit agreement, subject to the availability of eligible accounts receivable. This line of credit has been established to provide the Company with resources for general working capital purposes and Standby Letter of Credit guarantees for foreign customers. The loan is secured by all assets of the Company. This loan has been extended through April 5, 1996. Interest on the loan is now at the prime rate. The note contains restrictive covenants including provisions relating to profitability and net worth. As of September 30, 1995, the Company had no outstanding balance under this revolving credit line. The Company believes it has sufficient resources to finance its anticipated capital expenditures through working capital, existing lines of credit or available lease arrangements. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices Historically, the Company's business has not been materially impacted by inflation. Manufacturing equipment sales are generally quoted, manufactured and shipped within a cycle of less than six months, allowing for orderly pricing adjustments to the cost of labor and purchased parts. The Company has not experienced any negative effects from the impact of inflation on long-term contracts. The Company's service business is not expected to be seriously affected by inflation, with typically a two-week to several month procurement-production cycle and prices generally not fixed for more than one year. Contracted research and development usually includes cost escalation provisions. - 8 - 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. In May, 1985, Electronic Space Systems Corporation ("ESSCO") filed suit against the Company in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Middlesex County, Civil Action No. 85-3126. ESSCO sought to recover for, inter alia, alleged breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty and for alleged unfair or deceptive acts or practices in violation of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A ("M.G.L. Ch. 93A") in connection with ESSCO's allegation that the Company wrongfully repudiated certain contractual obligations and a partnership agreement for the marketing of photovoltaic products in the People's Republic of China and certain other markets. The Company filed an answer denying liability to ESSCO and also filed counterclaims against ESSCO alleging, inter alia, ESSCO's breach of contract, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with the Company's contracts, interference with the Company's advantageous business relationships and unfair or deceptive practices in violation of M.G.L. Ch. 93A and seeking a declaratory judgment that certain agreements between the Company and ESSCO relating to the marketing of photovoltaic products are void. The trial to determine the liability of the parties commenced on March 11, 1992, and on March 27, 1992, the jury returned a verdict that, inter alia, each party had breached various obligations to the other. Various post-trial motions by both parties were rejected in all material respects by the Court. A trial to assess the compensation due as a result of the liability determinations made by the first jury was held from September 27, 1993 to October 15, 1993. The Company was awarded compensation on one claim; ESSCO's previously agreed upon base compensation was reduced by the full amount of the Company's counterclaim on a second issue; and the jury was unable to reach a verdict on the third issue, involving ESSCO's misuse of the Company's proprietary information. The Company intends to pursue vigorously its claim for damages resulting from ESSCO's misuse of the Company's proprietary information. A retrial date has not yet been established. The net result of the two trials to date is that neither party has a material liability to the other, although the Company's claim for damages resulting from ESSCO's misuse of the Company's proprietary information and the parties' M.G.L. Ch. 93A claims against each other have yet to be decided. A hearing on the M.G.L. Ch. 93A issues was held in December 1993, but the Court has not yet ruled on those issues. Based on the proceedings to date and discussion with legal counsel, the Company believes that the outcome of this matter will not have a material negative effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations but may have a positive impact.
