The Company's initial activities consisted of producing and selling SIMOX-SOI wafers and conducting funded and unfunded research and development activities. This research led to the Company's development of a proprietary second generation implanter, the Ibis 1000, and to other proprietary process technology. Until 1993, much of the Company's revenue was derived from research and development contracts and sales of SIMOX-SOI wafers for military applications. Over the past few years, there has been a shift in revenue to sales of SIMOX-SOI wafers for commercial applications. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, commercial product sales (measured in dollar volume) represented 82% and 90%, respectively, of total product sales compared with 24% of total product sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1992. To date, most customers of the Company that have purchased wafers for what the Company believes are commercial applications have done so solely for the purpose of characterizing and evaluating the wafers. Thus, historical sales are not necessarily indicative of future operations because such sales would not be considered of a recurring nature. In the second quarter of 1997, however, the Company announced that two of its customers had indicated their intentions to adopt SIMOX-SOI technology in commercial products. During 1996 the Company recognized revenue from the sale of an Ibis 1000 implanter to a semiconductor manufacturer. This is the first implanter the Company has sold and has no commitments for additional implanter equipment sales. The sale of the implanter accounted for 40% of total revenue in 1996. Quarterly wafer sales have remained relatively consistent in the range of $1.1 to $1.3 million per quarter during 1996 and through the first quarter of 1997. In the second quarter of 1997 wafer sales were approximately 43% of this range due to lower wafer demand from one of the Company's customers in particular, reduced production capacity as a result of repair and maintenance of the first Ibis 1000, and use of the second Ibis 1000 for SIMOX-SOI development. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997 wafer sales returned to a more typical level of approximately $1.1 million. The Company has two Ibis 1000 implanters on-line, one of which is primarily dedicated to serve Motorola Corporation's production requirements. Two additional Ibis 1000 implanters are currently in construction, one anticipated to be placed in production in the fourth quarter of 1997, the other in the beginning of 1998 or at such time as additional capacity is needed to meet demand. During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company phased out production of SIMOX-SOI wafers on the NV-200 implanters, consequently all SIMOX-SOI wafers are being produced on Ibis 1000 implantation equipment. As the Company expands its production capacity in anticipation of increased demand, it is expected that gross margins on product sales will initially be adversely affected until the implanters are operating at or near full capacity. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in attracting a sufficient number of customers and/or SIMOX-SOI wafer orders to offset such production costs or that the Company will prevail over its competition. 7 8 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 PRODUCT SALES. Product sales decreased $135,681, or 11%, to $1,074,295 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $1,209,976 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in product sales is attributable to a decrease in wafer sales to a customer, a major semiconductor manufacturer, as it has moved from the material evaluation stage of the SIMOX-SOI wafers to the full circuit design and test phase; sales to this customer accounted for 37% of total product sales during the third quarter of 1996 but only 5% of total product sales during the third quarter of 1997. It is a normal part of the SIMOX-SOI sales cycle for a customer to use fewer SIMOX-SOI wafers during full circuit testing and additionally, in their case, the reduced wafer requirements are being supplied by the Ibis 1000 implanter the customer owns. The decrease of 32% in total product sales to this customer was partially offset by a 21% increase in total product sales to past as well as new customers. CONTRACT AND OTHER REVENUE. Contract and other revenue increased for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 to $1,089,071 from $43,754 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, a twenty-four-fold increase of $1,045,317. The increase in contract and other revenue is attributable to revenues derived from a contract for consulting services related to implementation of the magnetic scanning technology previously licensed to this customer, as well as a fifteen-fold increase in government contract revenue over the same period in 1996. License revenues generated in the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $62,500 or 6% of contract and other revenue compared to $19,475 or 45% of contract and other revenue during the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $43,025 or 221%. During 1997, the Company began selling spare parts to the purchaser of the Ibis 1000 implanter, a major semiconductor manufacturer. These sales accounted for 6% of contract and other revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997. EQUIPMENT REVENUE. There were no equipment sales during the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 and no commitments for additional sales currently exist. Equipment revenue of $1,600,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 represents revenue recognized using the percentage-of-completion method in connection with the sale of an Ibis 1000 implanter to a major semiconductor manufacturer. This implanter was shipped to the customer in the fourth quarter of 1996. TOTAL SALES AND REVENUE. Total sales and revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $2,163,366, a decrease of $690,364 or 24% from total revenue of $2,853,730 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted from the lack of equipment revenue and the decrease in product sales and was partially offset by increased contract and other revenue. TOTAL COST OF REVENUE. Cost of product sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $1,138,879, as compared to $984,524 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $154,355 or 16%. Cost of contract revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $741,116, as compared to $55,361 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $685,755, a twelve-fold increase. Cost of equipment revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $1,200,000. The gross margin for all sales was 13% for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 22% for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the fundamental fixed cost nature of 8 9 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) product sales costs which did not have a reduction commensurate with the decrease in product sales. In addition, the cost of sales for contract and other revenue increased as a result of changes in the make-up of contract and other revenue. Cost of sales for contract and other revenue consists of labor and materials expended in performing consulting tasks during the third quarter of 1997 and cost of spare parts as compared to negligible costs associated with licensing revenue generation during the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. Also contributing to the overall gross margin decrease is the lack of gross profit on equipment revenue in 1997. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $315,044 (15% of total revenue) as compared to $369,855 (13% of total revenue) for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $54,811 or 15%. The decrease is due to decreases in professional fees, training and seminars expense and the absence of loan origination fees. MARKETING AND SELLING EXPENSES. Marketing and selling expenses for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $114,173 (5% of total revenue) as compared to $131,339 (5% of total revenue) for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $17,166 or 13%. The decrease in marketing and selling expenses is primarily the result of a decrease in payroll and related expenses. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Internally funded research and development expenses decreased by $14,442, or 4%, to $346,655 (16% of total revenue) for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $361,097 (13% of total revenue) for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The decrease is primarily due to the Company's increase in billable labor on various contracts resulting in these charges being classified as costs of revenues, offset by an increase in professional fees. LOSS FROM OPERATIONS. The loss from operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $492,501 as compared to a loss of $248,446 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $244,055 or 98%. The increase in the loss from operations is the result of lack of equipment revenue. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $73,005 as compared to total other income of $71,680 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, a difference of $1,325 or 2%. This difference is a result of reduced interest income earned on the remaining proceeds from the April 1996 public offering, which was offset by decreased interest expense resulting from the repayment of bank term debt. LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES. The loss before income taxes was $419,496 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $176,766 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase of $242,730 or 137% is due to the lack of equipment revenue. 9 10 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 PRODUCT SALES. Product sales decreased $899,540, or 25%, to $2,700,823 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3,600,363 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in product sales is attributable to several factors, one of which was the negligible wafer sales during the first three quarters of 1997 to a customer, a major semiconductor manufacturer, as it has moved from the material evaluation stage of the SIMOX-SOI wafers to the full circuit design and test phase; sales to this customer accounted for 34% of total product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. It is a normal part of the SIMOX-SOI sales cycle for a customer to use fewer SIMOX-SOI wafers during full circuit testing and additionally, in their case, the reduced wafer requirements are being supplied by the Ibis 1000 the customer owns. In addition, contributing to the decrease in product sales were wafer production related issues arising during the second quarter of 1997. The first event was a component failure on the first Ibis 1000 implanter which resulted in a ten week production loss. The other matter was the dedication of the second Ibis 1000 to process development for a specific customer, a decision which resulted in a six week loss of production. These production issues were resolved during the third quarter of 1997. CONTRACT AND OTHER REVENUE. Contract and other revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $2,512,977 from $568,148 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a three-fold increase of $1,944,829. This increase is attributable to revenues derived from a contract for consulting services related to implementation of the magnetic scanning technology previously licensed to this customer, as well as a nine-fold increase in government contract revenue. License revenues generated in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $62,500 or 2% of contract and other revenue compared to license revenue of $477,249 or 84% of contract and other revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $414,749 or 87%. During 1997 the Company began selling spare parts to the purchaser of the Ibis 1000 implanter, a major semiconductor manufacturer. These sales accounted for 18% of contract and other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. EQUIPMENT REVENUE. There were no equipment sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and no commitments for additional sales currently exist. Equipment revenue of $2,840,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represents revenue recognized using the percentage-of-completion method in connection with the sale of an Ibis 1000 implanter to a major semiconductor manufacturer. This implanter was shipped to the customer in the fourth quarter of 1996. TOTAL SALES AND REVENUE. Total sales and revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $5,213,800, a decrease of $1,794,711 or 26% from total revenue of $7,008,511 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease resulted from the lack of equipment revenue and the decrease in product sales and was partially offset by increased contract and other revenue. TOTAL COST OF REVENUE. Cost of product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $3,116,844, as compared to $3,016,055 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $100,789 or 3%. Cost of contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $1,591,983, as compared to $112,622 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $1,479,361, or a thirteen-fold increase. Cost of equipment revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $2,130,000. The gross margin for all sales was 10% for the nine months September 30, 1997 as compared to 25% for the nine months ended 10 11 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) September 30, 1996. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the fundamental fixed cost nature of product sales costs which did not have a reduction commensurate with the significant decrease in product sales and additional capacity costs in 1997. In addition, the cost of sales for contract and other revenue increased as a result of changes in the make-up of contract and other revenue. Cost of sales for contract and other revenue consists of labor and materials expended in performing consulting tasks during the first nine months of 1997 and cost of spare parts as compared to negligible costs associated with license revenue generation during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Another contributing factor to the overall gross margin decrease is the lack of gross profit on equipment revenue in 1997. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $1,040,705 (20% of total revenue) as compared to $1,092,276 (16% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $51,571 or 5%. MARKETING AND SELLING EXPENSES. Marketing and selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $359,430 (7% of total revenue) as compared to $389,592 (6% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $30,162 or 8%. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced payroll and related expenses offset by advertising and public relations expenses commencing in 1997. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Internally funded research and development expenses decreased by $56,757, or 5%, to $1,010,781 (19% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $1,067,538 (15% of total revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease is due to the Company's increase in billable labor on various contracts resulting in these charges being classified as costs of revenues, offset by increases in professional fees and test wafer expenses for process development. LOSS FROM OPERATIONS. The loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $1,905,943 as compared to a loss of $799,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $1,106,371 or 138%. The increase in loss from operations is the result of lack of equipment revenue, diminished product sales and reduced available production capacity in the second quarter of 1997. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $143,709 as compared to total other income of $67,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in total other income is due to interest income earned on the remaining proceeds from the April 1996 public offering offset by decreased interest expense resulting from the repayment of bank term debt. LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES. The loss before income taxes was $1,762,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $731,922 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of $1,030,312 or 141%. The increase in loss before income taxes is the result of lack of equipment revenue, diminished product sales and reduced available production capacity in the second quarter of 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On April 9, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 1,600,000 shares of common stock at $7.25 per share. The Company's net proceeds were approximately $10,300,000, after deducting approximately $1,300,000 for underwriting discounts, commissions and other associated expenses. 11 12 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) As of September 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14,155,131. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company utilized $1,484,377 in cash from operating activities as compared to cash generated by operations in the amount of $1,400,212 for the same period in 1996. The decline of $2,884,589 in cash provided from operating activities resulted primarily from increased loss, receivables, inventory and by a reduction in liabilities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is attributed to cash outlays for the two Ibis 1000 implanters in construction and expenditures for capital additions relating to production capacity expansion. As of September 30, 1997, construction in progress represented $4,434,365, or 25%, of total property and equipment of $17,703,992. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 was $1,563,099 and $1,150,472, respectively. This accounted for 30% and 16% of total revenue, respectively. Due to the capital intensive nature of the Company's business and the expansion of its production capacity, management expects that depreciation and amortization will continue to be a significant portion of its expenses. To date, the Company's working capital requirements have been funded through debt and equity financings, equipment lines of credit, a working capital line of credit, a term loan, sale leaseback arrangements, collaborative relationships and government contracts. The principal uses of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were to fund the Company's operations, construction of Ibis 1000 implanters and other additions to property and equipment which totaled approximately $3.3 million. At September 30, 1997, the Company had commitments to purchase approximately $41,000 in material or subassemblies to be used to manufacture the two additional Ibis 1000 implanters. On July 24, 1997, the Company notified the holders of its 1,380,000 publicly traded Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Public Warrants") and its 120,000 privately held Underwriter Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Underwriter Warrants") that it would redeem these Warrants on August 26, 1997 at the redemption price of $.20 per Warrant. Prior to August 26, 1997, the holder of a Public Warrant had the right to exercise such Warrant to acquire 1.044 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $8.05 per share and the holder of an Underwriter Warrant had the right to exercise such Warrant to acquire 1.09 shares of Common Stock at a price of $9.26 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $10.1 million through the exercise of its Public Warrants. The holders of approximately 92% of these Warrants elected to exercise the Warrants rather than have them redeemed. Approximately 1,327,000 shares of Common Stock were issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. None of the Underwriter Warrants were exercised. The Company anticipates that it may be required to raise substantial additional capital in the future in order to finance expansion of its manufacturing capacity, its research and development programs and operations. The Company's existing cash resources together with funds generated from operations, are believed to be sufficient to support the Company's operations on their anticipated scale for three years. The anticipated scale of operations includes the two additional Ibis 1000 implanters (in addition to its two Ibis 1000 implanters currently on-line), the purchase of support equipment and expansion of the Company's facilities. Of the two new implanters in construction, one is expected to be transferred to production in the fourth quarter of 1997, the other in the first quarter of 1998 or at such time as additional capacity is needed to meet demand. The Company has phased out production of SIMOX-SOI wafers from its NV-200 implanters, consequently all SIMOX-SOI wafers are being produced on the Ibis 1000 implantation equipment. 12 13 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) EFFECTS OF INFLATION The Company believes that over the past three years inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's sales or operating results. BUSINESS OUTLOOK The Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty that the performance advantages of SIMOX-SOI wafers will be realized commercially or that a commercial market for SIMOX-SOI wafers will continue to develop; the dependence by the Company on key customers (during 1994, 1995 and 1996, revenues from four customers averaged in the aggregate between 39% and 68% of the Company's revenues, so that the loss of one or more of these major customers and the failure of the Company to obtain other sources of revenue could have a material adverse impact on the Company); the development of competing or superior technologies and products from manufacturers, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company; the Company's lack of experience in producing commercial quantities of its products at acceptable costs; the Company's ability to develop and maintain strategic alliances for the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of its products; the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, which has negatively affected the Company's sales of SIMOX-SOI wafers during industry downturns and which could continue to do so in the future; the limited availability of critical materials and components for wafer products and implanters, as a shortage of such materials and components or a significant increase in the price thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations; the availability of additional capital to fund expansion on acceptable terms, if at all; and general economic conditions. CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT Effective December 1, 1997, Martin J. Reid will become President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Reid will succeed Dr. Geoffrey Ryding as President and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Ryding will remain a member of the Board of Directors. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 establishes a different method of computing net income per share than is currently required under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under SFAS No. 128, the Company will be required to present both basic net income per share and diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share is expected to be higher than the currently presented net income per share as the effect of dilutive stock options will not be considered in computing basic net income per share. The impact on diluted net income per share is not expected to be material. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1997 and at that time all historical net income per share data presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128. 13 14 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Under this concept, all revenues, expenses, gains and losses recognized during the period are included in income, regardless of whether they are considered to be results of operations of the period. SFAS, 130, which becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 1998, is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report selected information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS 131, which becomes effective for the Company in its year ending December 31, 1998, is currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. 14 15 IBIS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings None Item 2 - Changes in Securities Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants - The holders of 1,380,000 publicly traded Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants had been entitled to purchase 1.044 shares of Common Stock per Warrant at a price of $8.05 per share through May 20, 1999.
