NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STAEMENTS JUNE 29, 1996 (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") presented herein, without audit except for balance sheet information at December 31, 1995, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 1996. The December 31, 1995 balance sheet includes reclassifications and the consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 1996 and the consolidated statements of income and cash for the quarters and six months ended June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of certain prior year information to conform with the current presentation format. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. (2) PUBLIC OFFERING On January 29, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of 2,300,000 shares (exclusive of the over-allotment option) of its common stock at $9.50 per share. The net proceeds from this offering, after deducting all associated costs, aggregated $18,661,000. In February, 1996, the underwriters of the public offering exercised their over-allotment option, purchasing 345,000 shares for net consideration of $3,047,000. In conjunction with the public offering, all of the outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into 2,959,692 shares of common stock. In addition, the authorized number of preferred shares increased from 1,100,000 to 4,000,000 upon the conversion of the outstanding preferred stock to common stock and the number of authorized shares of common stock increased from 15,000,000 to 25,000,000. (3) STOCK DIVIDEND The Company distributed a 5.5-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend effected immediately prior to the initial public offering on January 29, 1996. All share and per-share data has been adjusted to reflect the stock dividend as though it had occurred at the beginning of the initial period presented. (4) REDEEMABLE WARRANT In connection with the issuance of a Senior Subordinated Note, the Company granted the issuer a warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $10.27 7 expiring October 2003 (which upon the closing of the initial public offering which occurred on January 29, 1996 represented the right to purchase 495,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.87 per share). The warrant contained provisions which included the right to require the Company to purchase the warrant for an amount based upon the fair market value of the Company's stock at the time of exercise. The right to require the Company to purchase the warrant expired upon consummation of the initial public offering which occurred on February 2, 1996. The December 31, 1995 balance sheet reflects the accreted value of the warrant at that date. Accreted value of the warrant was transferred to paid-in capital upon the expiration of the right to require the Company to purchase the warrant. (5) STOCK OPTIONS A summary of stock option activity for the quarter and six months ending June 29, 1996 follows: Number of Shares Option Price(*) --------- --------------- Outstanding at December 31, 1995 2,108,490 $0.19 -$9.00 Granted during the quarter ending March 30, 1996 55,500 $9.00 -$9.50 Canceled during the quarter ending March 30, 1996 0 --------- Outstanding at March 30,1996 2,163,990 $0.19 -$9.50 Granted during the quarter ending June 29, 1996 33,000 $7.375-$9.875 Canceled during the quarter ending June 29, 1996 15,125 --------- Outstanding at June 29, 1996 2,181,865 $0.19 -$9.875 <FN> (*) Reflects conversion price after giving effect to stock dividend. See Note 3. (6) EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION Net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed for each period based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. For purposes of this calculation, outstanding options are considered common stock equivalents (using the treasury stock method). Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, common and common equivalent shares issued during the 12-month period prior to the date of the initial filing of the Company's Registration Statement have been included in the calculation, using the treasury stock method, as if they were outstanding for all periods presented. Fair market value for the purpose of this calculation was $9.50, the initial public offering price, and the average market price for the common stock subsequent to the public offering. (7) FLUENT ACQUISITION On August 24, 1995, the Company purchased all of the stock of Fluent Inc. ("Fluent"), a provider of computerized design and simulation software used to predict fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, and related phenomena. The Company acquired Fluent through the issuance of 308,214 shares of its common stock, a $3,590,000 non-interest bearing note payable in eight equal quarterly installments, due September, 1997 (which Notes were paid in full in February, 1996) and a cash payment of $927,000. This acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The following is an unaudited Pro Forma summary of the consolidated results of operations, assuming the Fluent Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1995. In preparing the pro forma data, certain adjustments have been made to historic operating results, including compensation expense recorded by Fluent in conjunction with the exercise of previously issued stock options, and interest expense incurred on funds borrowed to pay a portion of the purchase price in the Fluent Acquisition, including imputed interest on non-interest bearing promissory notes issued in the Acquisition. 8 Quarter Ended Six Months Ended June 29, 1996 July 1, 1995 June 29, 1996 July 1, 1995 (Actual) (Proforma) Actual Proforma -------- ---------- ------ -------- Net sales $23,023,000 $26,387,000 $49,035,000 $49,698,000 Net income (loss) before extraordinary item (3,271,000) 1,245,000 (2,011,000) 2,847,000 Extraordinary item - - (171,000) - Net income (3,271,000) 1,245,000 (2,182,000) 2,847,000 Net income per share before extraordinary item $ (0.50) $ 0.25 $ (0.34) $ 0.57 Extraordinary item income (expense) per share - - $ (0.03) - Net income per share $ (0.50) $ 0.25 $ (0.36) $ 0.57 Weighted average common shares and equivalent 6,478,127 4,974,944 5,983,391 4,974,944 "NOTE: Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 is after a $3,446,000 charge for the purchase of undeveloped technology in conjunction with the acquisition of Fluid Dynamics International, Inc."

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This Report contains certain forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, product demand and industry capacity, competitive products and pricing, manufacturing efficiencies, new product development, ability to enforce patents, availability of raw materials and critical manufacturing equipment, new plant startups and the regulatory and trade environment, as well as those discussed below and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading provider of thermal management products that dissipate unwanted heat in electronic and electrical components and systems, and a leading developer and marketer of computational fluid dynamics software which enables sophisticated simulation and analysis of air and other fluid flows, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction and related phenomena. The Company's thermal management products, which include aluminum and copper heat sinks, heat sink/fan combinations, heat pipes, liquid cooled cold plates, attachment accessories, compliant interface materials and conductive adhesives, operate by conducting, convecting and radiating away unwanted heat. The 10 Company's software is used in a broad range of applications, including design of automobiles, electronic systems, aerospace components and combustion systems, as well as process plant engineering. During the first quarter, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock and began trading on the Nasdaq National Market on January 30, 1996. Montgomery Securities and Robertson, Stephens & Company co-managed the underwriting group. During the first quarter, the Company also opened a new 50,000 square foot manufacturing and sales facility in Terrell, Texas, increasing total worldwide thermal products manufacturing capacity to more than 300,00 square feet. During the second quarter, the Company acquired, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fluent, Inc., Fluid Dynamics International, Inc. ("FDI") a 50% interest in Polyflow S.A. of Belgium. The Company believes these transactions make Fluent - a leading provider of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based analysis software. Results of Operations - --------------------- Net sales increased by 1.6% to $23.0 million and by 17.7% to $49.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995. Sales by application and product line are broken down as follows:- ($000) Quarters Ended Six Months Ended June 29, July 1, June 29, July 1, 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- Thermal Management - $16,889 $22,650 $37,442 $41,666 Software Products 6,134 0 11,593 0 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $23,023 $22,650 $49,035 $41,666 Thermal management revenues decreased 25% to $16,889,000 and by 10% to $37,442,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995. Thermal management revenues were impacted by a weak market for electronic products as evidenced by the semiconductor industry's book-to-bill ratio reaching a ten year low during the quarter. The Company anticipates short term thermal management revenues will continue to be impacted by continued soft business conditions during the third quarter of 1996. Over the longer term, the Company expects growth in unit demand as an increasing number of semiconductor and integrated circuit devices enter the market that need thermal solutions, and as the semiconductor industry moves on to new generations of products and applications. Software product sales for 1996 represent sales of Fluent which was acquired during the third quarter of 1995, and Fluid Dynamics International, Inc. ("FDI") which was acquired in May 1996. Quarterly Software revenue increased 14% from the prior quarter, and, on a proforma basis, by 12% from a year ago. Included in Fluent's 1996 revenue for the quarter is $890,000 of FDI revenues. The Fluent business is historically seasonally strong in the fourth and first quarters due to the budgeting patterns of Fluent's customers. 10 11 International (i.e., non-North America) revenues for the Company represented 23.4% and 23.8% of sales for the quarter and six month periods ended June 29, 1996 as compared to 9.1% and 7.8% for the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995. Both the acquisition of Fluent and increased penetration of the international market by the thermal management business contributed to the increased significance of international sales in 1996. For the Company as a whole, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales were 60.9% for the quarter and 62.5% for the six months ended June 29, 1996, as compared to 70.5% and 69.5% for the corresponding periods ended July 1, 1995. For the quarter and six month periods ending June 29, 1996, thermal management cost of goods sold were 74.8% and 73.9% respectively, compared to corresponding 1995 results of 70.5% and 69.5% respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold percentage in thermal management products is principally attributable to increased material costs and the impact of reduced sales volume. Increased material cost, as a percentage of sales, is attributable to a far more material intensive product mix, principally the result of large volume shipments during the 1996 period of fan heat sinks for digital electronic applications utilizing purchased fans, especially in the first quarter of 1996. The change in product mix has more than offset reductions in the average price per pound of aluminum extrusion purchases. While cost reduction measures have brought about a decline in production overhead during the three month period ended June 29, 1996 from both the first quarter and 1995 levels, the decline in sales volume for the periods ended June 29, 1996 has resulted in an increase in overhead as a percentage of sales. Software product cost of goods sold for the quarter and six month periods ended June 29, 1996 were 22.4% and 25.7% as compared to pro forma 1995 costs of 34.1% and 27.1%. For the Company as a whole, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $7,119,000 for the quarter, and $12,860,000 for the six months ended June 29, 1996, as compared to $4,224,000 and $8,470,000 for the corresponding 1995 periods. Thermal management selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,070,000 or 24.2% of sales for the quarter and $8,316,000 or 22.3% of sales for the first six months of 1996 for the 1996 periods as compared to 18.6% and 20.3% of sales for the corresponding 1995 periods. The decline in thermal management selling, general and administrative expenses from 1995 to 1996 is principally attributable to lower commission expenses associated with lower sales volume. Research and development expenses increased to $1,279,000 and $2,559,000 (5.5% and 5.2% of sales, respectively) for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 compared to $491,000 and $1,151,000 (2.2% and 2.8% of sales, respectively) for the corresponding respective 1995 periods. For both 1996 periods, research and development represented 16% of software product sales and 2% of thermal management sales. The increase in total research and development from year to year is attributable to the acquisition of Fluent, partially offset the reduction in thermal management research and development reflecting reduced development funding of joint venture projects. The Company incurred a non-cash charge during the quarter ended June 29, 1996 of $3,446,000, which represented the amount of the purchase price of FDI allocated to technology acquired in this transaction which was not fully commercially developed and had no alternative future use at the time of acquisition. Net interest expense declined to $313,000 for the quarter ended June 29, 1996 from $619,000 for the quarter ended July 1, 1995. For the six months ended June 29, 1996, interest expense was $759,000 compared to $1,159,000 for the corresponding previous year period. The reduction in interest expense for the quarter and year-to-date was the result of the utilization of a substantial portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering for the reduction of outstanding indebtedness. The effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 1996 was adversely impacted by the FDI non-deductible purchased undeveloped technology charge. Excluding this charge, the effective tax 11 12 rate was 43.7% for the quarter ended June 29, 1996 compared to 32.3% for the quarter ended July 1, 1995, and 37.1% for the six month period ended June 29, 1996, compared to 18.9% for the six months ended July 1, 1996. The 1995 six month effective tax rate benefited from the recognition of a foreign net operating loss carryforward. Extraordinary expense for the six months ended June 29, 1996 represents the write-off of deferred financing costs resulting from the early extinguishment of debt as a result of the initial public offering. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents declined $300,000 in the six month period ended June 29, 1996 to $4,027,000. The Company's trade accounts receivable increased $180,000 (1%) to $15,916,000 from $15,736,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase is due to the acquisition of FDI ($1,719,000) which combined with increased non-FDI Fluent receivables ($971,000) offset lower thermal management receivables ($2,510,000) attributable to the decline in revenues from the fourth quarter of 1995 to the second quarter of 1996. Inventories decreased 16% to $5,362,000 at June 29, 1996 from $6,376,000 at December 31, 1995 principally due to reductions in finished goods. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities fell by $818,000 primarily from the disbursement of $2,649,000 in conjunction with the buyout of previously accrued compensation agreements which offset Fluent increases in deferred revenues ($580,000) and accrued liabilities attributable to FDI ($479,000). Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 29, 1996 of $3,564,000 principally represented the purchase of machinery and equipment for existing facilities and the expansion of the Texas facility. The Company has announced an agreement to purchase land, a building and equipment from Alumax Extrusions, Inc. in Franklin, New Hampshire, to be operated as an extrusion facility. During the second quarter, the Company disbursed $4,193,000 in conjunction with the purchase of FDI and a 50% interest in Polyflow. The Company realized net proceeds of $21,708,000 in conjunction with the completion of its public offering of stock. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay a 12.5% Senior Subordinated Note with an outstanding principal amount of $7,000,000, reduce by $8,500,000 the amount outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility,and the payment of $2,649,000 for the buyout of compensation agreements. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company repaid the subordinated notes issued in conjunction with the Fluent Acquisition and increased borrowings under its construction loan facility to finance the construction of a manufacturing facility in Texas. During the second quarter, the Company repaid the construction loan facility from the proceeds of a $1,150,000 mortgage loan. At quarter end, the outstanding balance under the Company's $12,000,000 revolving credit facility stood at $1,553,000 as compared to allowable borrowings of $8,853,000. Management believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and existing credit facilities will be adequate to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. 12 13 Part II. Other Information Item 1.
