E. LONG-TERM DEBT AND COMMITMENTS
------------------------------
In March and April 1991, the Company issued $1,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Debentures. The Debentures
are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a
conversion price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment. To
assist the Company in meeting the minimum stockholders' equity
requirement for listing on Nasdaq, certain holders of the Debentures
agreed to convert $360,000 in principal amount of the Debentures into
360,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in October 1992. On
September 3, 1993, $5,000 in principal amount of the Debentures was

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
GENERAL
Cerprobe Corporation designs and manufactures a family of products used in
electronic screening and verification of integrated circuits (IC) and hybrid
substrates (MCM) for the semiconductor industry. This family of products
includes probe cards which range in price from $500 to $20,000,
performance/Device Under Test (DUT) boards which range in price from $500 to
$8,000, and electro-mechanical systems (interface products) which range in price
from $10,000 to $60,000.
Cerprobe was founded in 1976. Following a change in the Company's management
team in 1990, the Company has experienced significant internal expansion, with
revenues exceeding $14 million in 1994. Cerprobe has doubled its share of the
domestic probe card market during the past five years to become a major supplier
of probe cards in the United States and on a worldwide basis. Cerprobe began
expanding its international market during 1994 by opening a full service
manufacturing and repair facility in Scotland to serve Europe. This facility is
now fully operational. Plans are in place to open offices in the Asia Pacific
area during 1995. The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Tempe and
Chandler, Arizona; San Jose, California; Austin. Texas; and Westboro,
Massachusetts, and maintains sales offices in Beaverton, Oregon; Colorado
Springs, Colorado; and Boca Raton, Florida. Product sales are made both by
Company employed sales personnel and independent distributors.
On April 3, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Fresh Test Technology
Corporation ("Fresh Test"). In connection with the acquisition, Cerprobe issued
712,500 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Fresh Test. Fresh
Test, based in Chandler, Arizona, was founded in 1987 and specializes in the
design and manufacturing of controlled impedance, high frequency, ATE interface
boards and systems for testing digital, mixed signals and analog integrated
circuits. The Company believes that this acquisition allowed the combination of
product lines and the consolidation of engineering expertise.
THIRD QUARTER OF 1995 AND 1994 COMPARISONS
- - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $6,834,260, an increase of 102%
over net sales for the third quarter of 1994 of $3,376,850. Net sales for the
first nine months of 1995 were $17,968,454, an increase of 78% over net sales
for the first nine months of 1994 of $10,111,136. The increase in net sales
reflects a continuation of higher order rates for the Company's probe card
products and the contribution from the recent acquisition of Fresh Test.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 1995 was 48% of sales compared to 30% of
sales for the comparable period in 1994. For the first nine months of 1995, the
gross margin was 48% of sales compared to 39% of sales for the first nine months
of 1994. The increase in gross margin is primarily a result of the increase in
net sales and the positive effect of fixed manufacturing costs being spread over
a larger revenue base.
Engineering and product development expenses increased 78% for the third quarter
of 1995 over the third quarter of 1994. For the first nine months of 1995,
engineering and product development expenses increased 67% over the comparable
period for 1994. This increase represents a controlled expansion of research and
development efforts to pursue the development of new integrated circuit testing
systems for the future.
Selling, general and administration (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of
1995 were $2,197,764, an increase of 162% compared with $837,813 for the
comparable period in 1994. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 1995 were
$5,110,197, an increase of 114% compared to $2,387,087 for the comparable period
in 1994. The increase in total SG&A
expenses resulted primarily from the increase in fixed general and
administrative costs due to the Company's continued facility expansion and the
acquisition of Fresh Test.
Operating income for the third quarter of 1995 was $885,124, an increase of
1,373% compared to $60,093 for the third quarter of 1994. Operating income for
the first nine months of 1995 was $2,938,447, an increase of 136% compared with
$1,243,289 for the first nine months of 1994. The increase in operating income
resulted primarily from the increase in net sales and an increase in the gross
margin.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was $50,042, an increase of 31%
over the comparable period in 1994. Interest expense for the first nine months
of 1995 was $133,976, an increase of 22% over the comparable period in 1994. The
increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the increase in lease
equipment financing and the additional debt financing related to the acquisition
of Fresh Test.
Other income for the third quarter of 1995 was $39,076, a decrease of 27% over
the comparable period in 1994. This decrease was primarily due to the royalty
income recognition in 1994 that did not occur in the third quarter of 1995.
Other income for the first nine months of 1995 was $154,071, an increase of 97%
over the comparable period in 1994. This increase is primarily due to maximizing
available vendor discounts.
Income before taxes for the third quarter of 1995 was $874,158, an increase of
1,050% over the comparable period in 1994. Income before taxes for the first
nine months of 1995 was $2,958,542, an increase of 144% over the comparable
period in 1994. Net income for the third quarter of 1995 was $512,158, an
increase of 1,014% over the comparable period in 1994. Net income for the first
nine months of 1995 was $1,691,542, an increase of 114% over the comparable
period in 1994. Once again, the increase is primarily due to the increase in net
sales and the increase in gross margin.
The Company has used all of its available loss carryforwards and has begun to
feel the full impact of the income tax rates. The current estimated income tax
rate in the U.S. is 37.7%; on a consolidated basis, however, it is 42.8% due to
the nondeductible tax loss from the Scotland subsidiary.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company's full service
manufacturing facility in Scotland experienced a net loss of $403,323, with no
resulting tax benefit, which translates into a $.10 primary and $.09 fully
diluted effect on earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. The Company expects the Scottish facility to continue to have some
negative impact on earnings through the fourth quarter of 1995, but less than
that experienced in 1994.
Cerprobe Europe Ltd., continued production, training and the build up of
inventory in the third quarter of 1995. Cerprobe Europe Ltd. accounted for
revenues of $341,939 year-to-date. Capital and training grants from the local
Economic Development Agency helped defray start up costs for this subsidiary and
are being recognized as income over 36 months.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital increased from $3,519,428 at December 31, 1994 to $4,376,967 at
September 30, 1995. The current ratio decreased from 3.9 at December 31, 1994 to
2.8 at September 30, 1995, primarily as a result of the purchases of equipment,
the increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses and an increase in
the notes payable from the acquisition of Fresh Test. These increases are due to
the continued planned expansion.
On June 12, 1995, the Company signed a Loan Agreement with First Interstate.
First Interstate's Loan Agreement provides up to $750,000 in revolving credit
for accounts receivable financing. The interest rate on the revolving credit
agreement is 0.25 percentage points above First Interstate's index rate. As of
September 30, 1995, there was no amount outstanding.
The Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement with Norwest
Equipment Finance in May 1993. The Company has leased equipment valued at
$160,798 for a term of 36 months. The interest rate is 7.785%. At the end of the
lease term, the Company will purchase the equipment for $1.00.
The Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement with First
Interstate in June 1994. On March 15, 1995, the Company leased equipment valued
at $95,200 for a term of 60 months. The interest rate is 9.18%. At the end of
the lease term, the Company will purchase the equipment for $1.00. On June 12,
1995, the Company renewed the Lease Agreement with First Interstate. The Company
leased additional equipment valued at $281,158 for a term of 60 months, the
interest rate is 7.54%. At the end of the lease term, the Company will purchase
the equipment for $1.00.
The Company entered into an equipment financing arrangement with PFC, Inc. in
August 1994. The Company leased equipment valued at $190,233 for a term of 60
months. The interest rate is 8.777%. At the end of the lease term, the Company
will purchase the equipment for $1.00.
On July 7, 1994, CerProbe Europe Ltd. signed a month-to-month building lease for
the East Kilbride, Scotland facility. In November 1994, the Company approved a
formal lease for five years commencing on August 28, 1994 and ending August 27,
1999. The lease provides that unless the tenant gives a six week notice prior to
the end of the term, the lease will continue to run year to year.
In 1994, the Company received a grant from Locate in Scotland, an economic
development agency of the British government. The Company has already met 2 of
the 3 tiers with respect to the grant and has received 70,000 pounds
(approximately $110,000 at the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 1995).
The receipt of the funds pursuant to the grant has helped the Company defray
start-up expenses in connection with establishing this facility.
On June 23, 1995, the Company signed a letter of intent to lease the building
for its Singapore facility for three years commencing on September 3, 1995 and
ending on September 2, 1998.
The Company intends to establish and operate a manufacturing repair and sales
facility at this location. The Company estimates that up to $400,000 will be
used to acquire necessary equipment and to modify the facility to meet the
Company's specifications.
The coverage ratio of Total Debt to Net Worth was .42 at December 31, 1994
compared to .39 at September 30, 1995. This decrease indicates longer term
financial security and a greater flexibility to borrow in the future. The
Company believes that its existing line of credit and lease line combined with
cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's
currently anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
