Interest on this note is payable at the rate of 8%. The Company has a $32,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan agreement with banks. At September 30, 1997, $15,000,000 is borrowed under a term loan. The term loan, dated April 4, 1997, extending through January 1, 2003, amortizes over 21 consecutive quarterly installments commencing January 1, 1998. Interest is payable on a formula basis, at the Company's option, at rates above prime or above LIBOR determined on the basis of Company performance as determined by its leverage ratio. On September 30, 1997 interest to be paid under the Term Loan was at 2.50% above LIBOR or 1.00% above the bank's prime lending rate. At September 30, 1997 $14,037,493 was borrowed under the Revolving Credit portion of the Company's credit facility. The term of the Revolving Credit facility, dated April 4, 1997, extends through January 4, 2001. Interest is payable under the revolving credit facility on a formula basis, at the Company's option, at rates above prime or above LIBOR determined on their basis of company performance as determined by its leverage ratio. On September 30, 1997 interest to be paid under the Revolving Credit Agreement was at 2.25% above LIBOR or .75% above the bank's prime lending rate. The Revolving Credit and Term Loan agreement contains, among other provision, restrictions on capital expenditures, cash catalog expenditures, prohibitions against dividend payments and fiscal quarterly losses, and a requirement to maintain adjusted leverage ratios as defined. Additionally, the Company has pledged its personal property and fixtures, including inventory and equipment, and its accounts receivable as collateral security for the loan. Further, the Company has agreed to pay to the lenders a fee in the amount equal to 1/4% of the unused portion of the total revolving credit available. The fee is payable quarterly. The Company also agreed to pay a closing fee in the amount of $80,000 and an agency fee in the amount of $45,000 in conjunction with the Revolving Credit and Term Loan facility. The Company is in compliance with provisions of its loan agreement or has received a waiver at September 30, 1997. 6 7 Note 2 - Inventories The major classifications of inventory are as follows: Sept. 30, Sept. 30, 1997 1996 ---- ---- Raw Materials and Purchased Parts $ 1,977,832 $2,172,317 Work in Process 730,161 746,445 Finished Products 9,644,964 4,912,659 ------------ ---------- 12,352,957 7,832,421 Less Inventory Reserves (960,369) (579,122) ------------ ---------- $ 11,392,588 $7,253,299 ============ ========== Note 3 - Net Income Per Share - ----------------------------- The net income per share amounts in 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing the net income by the average number of shares actually outstanding plus common equivalent shares resulting from the assumed conversion of dilutive stock options and warrants. Common and common equivalent shares averaged 6,261,904 in 1997 and 5,711,794 in 1996. The Company will adopt provisions of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") 128, "Earnings Per Share" effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier application is not permitted. FAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. Basic EPS excludes the effect of common stock equivalents and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Proforma earnings per share computed in accordance with FAS 128 is presented below: For 3 months ended For 6 months ended -------------------- ------------------- 9/30/97 6/30/96 9/30/97 9/30/96 ------- ------- ------- ------- Basic EPS $.05 $.06 $.09 $.11 Diluted EPS $.04 $.06 $.08 $.11 7 8 The directors of the Corporation voted a 2 for 1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend which was paid on July 22, 1997 to shareholders of record July 1, 1997. The above per earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the effect of such split. Item 2. - ------- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations - ---------- On April 4, 1997, Transmation, Inc. acquired certain assets and business of the former E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. for $22,000,000 cash and the value of certain defined assumed liabilities. The cash required for the transaction was obtained from funds available under a $32,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with banks. Sales increases during the second quarter and first half resulted primarily from the acquisition of E.I.L. Instruments, Inc. Sales in the Company's Altek subsidiary were on plan for the quarter and through September 30, 1997. Sales in the Company's Instrument Division were below plan for the second quarter and the Company has refocused its sales plan to help correct this problem during the balance of the current fiscal year. Financial Condition - ------------------- The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital are funds provided through its borrowing agreement with banks, its profitability and management of its balance sheet. The Company's accounts receivable balance increased by $515,700 in the quarter. Additionally, the Company reduced its balance of accounts payable to vendors by $619,500, however accrued liabilities increased by $757,500 in the quarter. The primary source of funds, in addition to the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization, was additional bank borrowings. The Company will strive to improve its cash flows and reduce bank borrowings from current levels during the balance of the current fiscal year through increased profitability and relative reductions in both accounts receivable and inventory balances and by increasing its trade payables. Results of Operations - --------------------- Comparison of July 1, 1997 - September 30, 1997 - ----------------------------------------------- to July 1, 1996 - September 30, 1996 --------------------------------- Sales increased to $19,612,705 from $11,211,991, an increase of 75% in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to September 30, 1996. This increase resulted from the acquisition of E.I.L. Instruments in April of 1997. 8 9 Cost of Product Sold in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 totaled 68.2% of sales compared to 60.7% in the same quarter last year. The increased percentage in 1997 is the result of proportionately more sales of lower margin distribution and service business in 1997 than in 1996 and resulted from Transmation's purchase of E.I.L. Instruments on April 4, 1997. Interest expense totaled $703,506 in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to $159,775 in the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase is the result of additional borrowings in 1997 used to purchase E.I.L. Instruments. Selling and administrative expenses increased by 42% in 1997 compared to 1996. This increase is the result of an increase in the number of sales personnel in 1997 compared to 1996 as the result of the Company's E.I.L. Instruments' acquisition. Comparison of April 1, 1997 - September 30, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------ to April 1, 1996 - September 30, 1996 ---------------------------------- Sales increased to $38,725,787 from $22,259,608, an increase of 74% in the six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period ended September 30, 1996. This increase resulted from the acquisition of E.I.L. Instruments in April 1997. Cost of Product Sold in the six months ended September 30, 1997 totaled 68.3% compared to 60.8% in the same period last year. The increased percentage in 1997 is the result of proportionately more sales of lower margin distribution and service business in 1997 than in 1996 and resulted from Transmation's purchase of E.I.L. Instruments in April 1997. Interest expense totaled $1,291,804 for the six months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $312,236 for the same period in 1996. The increase is the result of additional borrowings in 1997 used to purchase E.I.L. Instruments. Selling and administrative expenses increased by 43.5% in 1997 compared to 1996. This increase is the result of an increase in the number of sales personnel in 1997 compared to 1996 as the result of the Company's acquisition of E.I.L. Instruments. 9 10 PART II ------- OTHER INFORMATION ----------------- Item 4.
