IAT MULTIMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION - The unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the management of IAT Multimedia,
Inc. (the "Company"), necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position of the Company as of March 31, 1998, and the consolidated results of
operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Results of
operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of IAT Multimedia, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries IAT
AG, Switzerland and IAT Deutschland GmbH Interaktive Medien Systeme, Bremen
("IAT GmbH"), 100% of the General Partner of FSE Computer-Handel GmbH & Co. KG
(FSE) and 80% of the limited partnership interest of FSE. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS ACQUIRED - Goodwill represents the
excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets of acquired business
and is amortized over a period of 10 years from the acquisition date. The
Company monitors the cash flows of the acquired operation to assess whether any
impairment of recorded goodwill has occurred. Amortization for the period ended
March 31, 1998 was approximately $79,000.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The Company has determined that the
local currency of its Switzerland subsidiary, Swiss Francs, is the functional
currency for IAT AG and IAT GmbH and the Deutsch Mark is the functional
currency for FSE. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been
translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". SFAS 52
provides that all balance sheet accounts are translated at period-end rates of
exchange (1.50 and 1.45 Swiss Francs and 1.83 and 1.80 Deutsch Mark for each
U.S. Dollar at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively), except for
equity accounts which are translated at historical rates. Income and expense
accounts and cash flows are translated at the average of the exchange rates in
effect during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included as a
separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses arising
from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE -- Effective December 31, 1997, the Company
adopted SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented. Basic earnings
per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing loss applicable to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. The weighted average number of common shares includes shares
issued within one year of the Company's initial public offering (IPO) with an
issue price less than the IPO price, and excludes shares of common
-6-

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
stock placed in escrow upon the completion of the IPO. In addition, all shares
have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. Diluted earnings per
share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock
or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of
the entity. Prior period loss information has been restated as required by SFAS
No. 128. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common
share for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company has
unexercised options and warrants which are not included in the computation of
diluted loss per share because their effect would have been antidilutive as a
result of the Company's losses.
COMPREHENSIVE LOSS - Effective January 1, 1998 the Company adopted
SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". The Company reclassified its 1997
financial statements, as required.

NOTE 3. SPINOFF:
On March 6, 1998, the Company spun off substantially all of the assets
and the liabilities of its majority-owned subsidiary, IAT GmbH, to a
newly-formed German company (German Newco). German Newco is substantially owned
by the former Co-chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. In
addition, IAT AG owns 15% of the outstanding common stock of the German Newco.
The spinoff was effective on January 1, 1998 and required the Company to infuse
approximately $650,000 of capital. In connection with the spinoff, IAT AG
purchased the remaining 25.1% interest in IAT GmbH from the minority
stockholder for a purchase price of approximately $100,000.
On March 24, 1998, the Company spun off certain of the assets and
liabilities of its wholly-owned subsidiary IAT AG to a newly-formed Swiss
company (Swiss Newco). Swiss Newco is substantially owned by the former
Co-chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, IAT AG owns
15% of the outstanding common stock of the Swiss Newco. The spinoff was
effective on January 1, 1998. At closing, the Company received a note for
approximately $325,000 representing the value of the assets in excess of the
liabilities spunoff (Purchase Note) on March 24, 1998. In addition, the Company
loaned the Swiss Newco $250,000 (The Note) for operating cash flow. The notes
provide for the payment of interest semi-annually beginning September 1, 1998
at a rate of 3% per annum, but interest expense will be recorded using a
discount rate of 8% per annum. The Purchase Note is due on March 24, 2001. The
Note is due the earlier of the date that Swiss Newco raises either debt or
equity financing in excess of SF 1,000,000 or the end of three years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations include forward-looking statements with
respect to the Company's future financial performance. These forward-looking
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical results or those currently
anticipated.
The Company, through its recent acquisition of FSE, markets in Germany
high-performance PCs assembled according to customer specifications and sold
under the trade name "Trinology", as well as components and peripherals for
PCs. The Company also licenses its state-of-the-art, customizable proprietary
visual communications technology designed to enable users to participate in
real time, multi-point video conferencing and provide improved features and
functionality over competing technology.
FSE's product line includes high-performance IBM-compatible desktop PCs as
well as components, such as motherboards, hard disks, graphic cards and plug-in
cards, and peripherals, such as printers, monitors and cabinets, to its
customers. Substantially all of FSE's clients are corporate customers,
including industrial, pharmaceutical, service and trade companies, the military
and VARs. FSE markets its products directly through its internal sales force to
dealers and end-users and also maintains three retail showrooms and a
mail-order department. FSE works directly with a wide range of suppliers to
evaluate the latest developments in PC-related technology and engages in
extensive testing to optimize the compatibility and speed of the components
which are sold and integrated into Trinology PCs.
The Company has developed visual communications technology for
multi-functional visual communication systems, wavelet data
compression/decompression software technology for high-speed, high-quality
still image transfer, and related technology. The Company expects to receive
royalty income from this technology. The Company intends to offer products
incorporating its visual communication system technology which will be produced
by Communication AG and Communication Systems (see below), in FSE's computers.
Multimedia was formed in September 1996 as a holding company for the
existing business of IAT AG and IAT Germany. Since then, Multimedia has been
engaged in developing products for the visual communications industry. In
November 1997, Multimedia acquired 100% of the shares of capital stock of the
general partner of FSE and 80% of the outstanding limited partnership interests
of FSE, a German limited partnership.
In March 1998, the Company completed the restructuring of one of its
German subsidiaries and its Swiss subsidiary. On March 5 and 6, 1998, the
Company completed the spinoff of substantially all of the assets and the
liabilities (other than intercompany accounts) of one of its majority-owned
German subsidiaries, IAT Germany, which has provided the Company's research and
development and has functioned as the Company's sales and marketing arm for
multimedia products in Germany, into a newly formed German company,
Communication Systems GmbH. On March 24, the Company transferred certain of the
assets and liabilities of IAT AG, other than, among others, the Company's
intellectual property and
-8-
the ownership interests in IAT Germany to Communication AG, a newly formed
Swiss corporation. Both transfers were effective January 1, 1998. As a result
of the Spinoffs, the Company owns 80% of FSE, 100% of each of IAT AG and IAT
Germany and 15% of each of Communication Systems GmbH and Communication AG.
The FSE Acquisition and the Spinoffs of the German and the Swiss
subsidiaries will result in substantial differences in the business and results
of operations of the Company. Accordingly, results of operations of the Company
prior to the acquisition of FSE and of the Spinoffs will not be indicative of
the Company's results of operations after such acquisition and the Spinoffs.
The Company's sales are made to customers principally in Switzerland and
Germany with revenues created in Deutsche Marks and Swiss Francs. Multimedia's
functional currency is the Swiss Franc. FSE's functional currency is the
Deutsche Mark. The Company currently engages in limited hedging transactions,
which are not material to its operations, to offset the risk of currency
fluctuations. The Company may increase or discontinue these hedging activities
in the future.
In the following discussions, most percentages and dollar amounts have
been rounded to aid presentation. As a result, all such figures are
approximations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997
The average exchange rate for the U.S. Dollar increased as compared to the
Swiss Franc and the Deutsch Mark by approximately 2.8% and 9.7% respectively.
The average Swiss Franc to U.S. Dollar exchange rate was SF 1.47 = $1.00 in the
first quarter 1998 as compared to SF 1.43 in the first quarter 1997. The
average Deutsch Mark to U.S. Dollar exchange rate was DM 1.81 = $1.00 in the
first quarter 1998 as compared to DM 1.65 in the first quarter 1997.
Revenues and expenses in the following discussion include IAT revenues and
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997,
respectively, and FSE revenues and expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1998.
REVENUES. Revenues for the first quarter 1998 increased to $8,762,000
from $199,000 in the first quarter 1997. This increase is primarily a result of
sales of FSE high performance PCs and PC-components during the first quarter
1998. FSE was acquired on November 18, 1997 and FSE revenues are not included
in the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
COST OF SALES. Cost of sales increased to $7,830,000 in the first
quarter 1998 from $140,000 in the first quarter 1997. The cost of sales as a
percentage of sales increased to 89.4% in the first quarter 1998 from 70.1% in
the first quarter 1997 primarily as a result of lower profit margins on the
sale of FSE PCs, PC-components and PC peripherals.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS. Research and development costs
decreased to nil in the first quarter 1998 from $583,000 in the first quarter
1997. The Company no longer incurs research and development costs as a result
of the spin-off of its research and development activities to Communication AG
and Communication Systems GmbH.
-9-
SELLING EXPENSES. Selling expenses increased by 37.5% to $557,000 in
the first quarter 1998 from $405,000 in the first quarter 1997. This increase
is a result of a change in the business structure and a different marketing
approach for FSE PCs and products.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses decreased by 4.4% to $303,000 in the first quarter 1998 from $317,000
in the first quarter 1997 primarily due to the spinoff of the IAT Germany
business to Communication Systems GmbH.
INTEREST. Interest expense decreased by 72.9% to $23,000 in the first
quarter 1998 from $85,000 in the first quarter 1997. This decrease is primarily
a result of a reduction of outstanding bank loans and the repayment of certain
stockholders' loans. Interest income increased to $88,000 in the first quarter
1998 from $2,000 in the first quarter 1997 primarily as a result of the
investments of the remaining net proceeds from the IPO in investments bearing
interest of approximately 5.5%.
NET LOSS. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998
decreased to $35,000 from $1,373,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
This decrease is the result of the acquisition of the FSE operations in
November 1997 and of the spin-off of the research and development and marketing
activities to Communication AG and Communication Systems GmbH effective as of
January 1, 1998.
EBITDA. Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization in the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased to $77,000 from
a negative EBITDA of $1,226,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
increase is primarily a result of the spinoff of the research and development
and marketing activities to Communication AG and Communication Systems GmbH
effective as of January 1, 1998 and of the acquisition of the FSE operations in
November 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and
investments in corporate bonds decreased to $3,147,000 and $1,681,000,
respectively, as compared to $5,473,000 and $2,727,000, respectively, at
December 31, 1997.
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1,437,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $888,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1997. This increase is primarily due to a reduction of accounts
payable and other short-term liabilities and an increase in accounts receivable
partially offset by a decrease of the net loss for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and the amortization of the goodwill on the FSE acquisition.
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $312,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $65,000 net cash used in
investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1997. During the
three months ended March 31, 1998 cash was used to pay for the acquisition of
25.1% of the common stock of IAT Germany in the amount of $96,000, for 15% each
of the common stock of IAT Communication Systems GmbH and Communication AG in
the aggregate amount of $19,000 and for loans to these companies in the
aggregate amount of $538,000 and for the purchase of equipment. These payments
were offset by the sale of marketable securities. In the three months ended
March 31, 1997 cash was used for the purchase of equipment.
-10-
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1,209,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to net cash provided by
financing activities of $694,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998 cash was primarily used for the
repayment of stockholder loans including the second installment of the FSE
purchase price in the amount of $890,000 and the repayment of short-term bank
loans. These payments were partially offset by a capital contribution by
certain stockholders in exchange for the Company assuming the obligation of IAT
AG under the repayment of the Swiss bank loan. During the three months ended
March 31, 1997 cash was provided by an increase in stockholder loans, and an
increase in short-term bank loans partially offset by deferred registration
costs paid.
At March 31, 1998 the Company had a line of credit of approximately
$67,000 of which approximately $63,000 were outstanding, bearing interest at
6.5%. The loan under the line of credit is due on demand and was repaid on May
5, 1998.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments in corporate bonds at March 31,
1998 amount to $4,828,000. The Company believes that its funds should be
sufficient to finance its working capital requirements and its capital and debt
service requirements for approximately the 12 months period following March 31,
1998.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company has ordered new accounting software at a cost of
approximately $10,000 in connection with an upgrade of its accounting systems.
This software will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company does not anticipate that
it will be required to make other expenditures to avoid Year 2000 problems.
