CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated balance sheets as of April 4, 1998 and September 27, 1997, the consolidated statements of income for the second quarter and six months ended April 4, 1998 and March 29, 1997, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the first six months ended April 4, 1998 and March 29, 1997, have been prepared by the Registrant without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly such financial statements have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1997. The results of operations for the above noted periods ended are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 2. INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following (in thousands): - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 4, 1998 September 27, 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw Materials $1,947 $3,277 Work-in-process 4,950 4,258 Finished Goods 821 623 ------ ------ $7,718 $8,158 ====== ====== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) DISCLOSURES: The Company has adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128") effective January 3, 1998. SFAS 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. All prior period earnings per share amounts have been restated to comply with the SFAS 128. In accordance with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 128, a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted EPS is provided as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts). 5 7 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECOND QUARTER ENDED FISCAL 1998 FISCAL 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Per Income Shares Share Income Shares Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings from continuing operations, net of tax $556,000 $450,000 Less: preferred stock dividends 90,000 90,000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC EPS Earnings applicable to Continuing operations, net of tax 466,000 6,674,497 $0.07 360,000 6,658,980 $0.06 EFFECT OF DILUTIVE SECURITIES Common stock options 171,603 14,693 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DILUTED EPS Earnings from continuing operations available to common stock holders $466,000 6,846,100 $0.07 $360,000 6,673,673 $0.06 ======== ========= ===== ======== ========= ===== - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST SIX MONTHS FISCAL 1998 FISCAL 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Per Income Shares Share Income Shares Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings from continuing $765,000 $833,000 operations, net of tax Less: preferred stock dividends $180,000 $180,000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BASIC EPS Earnings applicable to continuing operations, net of tax 585,000 6,674,495 $0.09 $653,000 6,610,843 0.10 EFFECT OF DILUTIVE SECURITIES Common stock options 96,589 10,351 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DILUTED EPS Earnings from continuing operations available to common stock holders $585,000 6,771,084 $0.09 $653,000 6,621,194 $0.10 ======== ========= ===== ======== ========= ===== The convertible preferred stock, which was convertible to 1,598,346 common shares on April 4, 1998 and on March 29, 1997, which could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future was not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented. Options to purchase 78,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.56 to $3.56 per share were outstanding during the first quarter and six months of 1998 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. These options expire at various times through December, 2007. 6 8 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In December, 1997 the Board of Directors decided to sell its Technologies division. The results of operations for the six months and quarter ended March 29, 1997, have been restated to reflect this division as a discontinued operation. Thus, this division is reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the Company's Statement of Income. As of September 27, 1997, the Company recorded a reserve of $1,300,000 for estimated future operating losses of the Technologies division and the estimated costs and losses associated with the disposition. During the first six months of fiscal 1998, the Technologies division incurred losses of $390,000 which, combined with $40,000 of additional cost associated with the disposition, leaves a reserve balance of $870,000 on April 4, 1998. While the estimated net future loss is based on management analysis, it is difficult to estimate what the Company may ultimately realize on the sale of this division. What the Company could eventually realize may differ materially in the near term from the amounts assumed in arriving at the estimated net loss. The following table reflects the results of the discontinued operations: SECOND QUARTER SIX MONTHS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNOLOGIES DIVISION OPERATING RESULTS FISCAL, 1998 FISCAL, 1997 FISCAL, 1998 FISCAL, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $2,471,000 $1,121,000 $4,105,000 $2,573,000 Gross margin $ 522,000 $ 343,000 $ 626,000 $ 850,000 Product development $ 35,000 $ 43,000 $ 84,000 $ 62,000 Operating expenses $ 464,000 $ 370,000 $ 932,000 $ 768,000 The components of net assets of discontinued operations included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at April 4, 1998 and September 27, 1997 are as follows: TECHNOLOGIES DIVISION APRIL 4, 1998 SEPTEMBER 27, 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Receivables, net $ 1,743,000 $ 1,089,000 Inventories 2,635,000 1,958,000 Other current assets 317,000 385,000 Property and equipment 666,000 700,000 Accounts payable and other current liabilities (1,057,000) (694,000) Long-term debt (27,000) (41,000) ------------- ------------ Net Assets $ 4,277,000 $ 3,397,000 ============= ============ 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 30, 1998, the company sold certain land and building in Acton, Massachusetts for approximately $1,200,000. No significant gain or loss was realized on the sale. As of April 4, 1998, the land and buildings are included in other assets. The proceeds were used to retire the Industrial Revenue Bonds and repay $950,000 of the Bank One term loan. On May 3, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Electronic Designs, Inc. (EDI). Under the terms of the agreement, each share of EDI's common stock will be 7 9 exchanged for 1.375 shares of Bowmar common stock. ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters discussed here contain forward-looking statements. The words "believe", "expect" and "anticipate" identify forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date the statement is made. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and are beyond the Company's control. Potential risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to such factors as the ability of the Company to identify a potential buyer for the Technologies division and to conclude a beneficial agreement in a timely fashion, the ability of the Company to conclude such a sale without substantial disruption to the business of the Technologies division, demand for the products of the White Microelectronics division, the instability of the Asian markets, the ability of the Company to penetrate successfully the commercial market for microelectronic products, demand for microelectronic products generally, industry competitiveness, reductions in price and other risks of doing business generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this document will in fact transpire or prove to be accurate. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. INTRODUCTION As previously disclosed, the Board of Directors has determined to implement a series of actions expected to strategically reposition the Company, reduce corporate overhead and realign management. Although the Board of Directors has determined to seek a buyer for the Company's Technologies division, the Company is not yet in serious discussions with any particular potential buyers. The Company has retained an investment advisor to assist in its efforts to sell this division. There can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will be able to identify a suitable buyer, or any buyer at all, or that if a sale is concluded it will be on terms and conditions advantageous to the Company. Based on the decision to sell the Technologies division, the division has been accounted for as a "discontinued operation". Accordingly, a $1.3 million reserve for anticipated losses and the cost of disposition was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 of which $430,000 was used in the first six months of fiscal 1998. The following discussion takes into account the treatment of the Technologies division as a discontinued operation. In addition, the Board of Directors reduced and relocated the Company's corporate headquarters. The Company will operate exclusively out of the new White Microelectronics division facility located in Phoenix, Arizona. To cover the expenditures related to the reduction and relocation, the Company incurred an approximate $400,000 charge in the first quarter of 1998. RESULTS OF OPERATION Net Sales Sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 1998 were $5,694,000 compared to prior year sales for the second quarter of $5,577,000 (restated). The increase in sales was a result of increased sales of plastic packaged SRAM products. The Company has seen some decline in bookings affecting the fourth quarter, which management believes is primarily a result of the current Asian economic situation. Given the softness in the 8 10 fourth quarter bookings and the current situation in the military markets, the Company now believes that changes in defense spending could have an adverse effect on the Company's overall results. Thus the Company is continuing to pursue its goal of reduced dependency on the defense industry by pursuing commercial business while emphasizing niche military markets where it has a competitive advantage. Gross Margin Gross margins for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were very similar to the same period of fiscal 1997. Gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 1998 increased by $406,000 over the same period for fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of increased sales. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased $234,000 versus the same period in fiscal 1997. The decrease is due primarily to the savings realized as a result of the Company's decision to reduce and relocate its corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. The increase of $217,000 in expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1997 was due to the $400,000 charge taken in the first quarter of 1998 for the reduction and relocation of its corporate headquarters. Product Development Expenses Product development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were approximately $72,000 higher than the same period of fiscal 1997 and were $118,000 higher for the first six months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. The increases were a result of a commercial product development at the microelectronics segment. Interest Expense Interest expense for the second quarter and the first six months in fiscal 1998 increased by $65,000 and $101,000, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 1997. The increase is primarily a result of additional borrowings to complete the Company's leasehold improvements for the new facility and to finance increasing receivables. Other Income Other income was greater for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 by $67,000 compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. The increase in other income in the second quarter is due to a tax settlement, which resulted in $292,000 of income. The reason the increase in other income was not higher in the quarter was the loss of rental income as a result of the lease expiration on the Company's building in Acton, Massachusetts in February, 1997 combined with the additional expenses incurred in fiscal 1998 to maintain and prepare the property for sale. Additionally there was a gain from the sale of a stock investment in the second quarter of 1997. Other income for fiscal 1998 was down for the first six months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997 because of the loss of rental income as explained above. Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes increased by approximately $49,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and decreased by $35,000 for the six months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same fiscal 9 11 1997 periods. The higher income before income taxes caused the increase in the second quarter and the lower income before income taxes over the first six months of fiscal 1998 resulted in a lower income tax expense as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY As of April 4, 1998, working capital had increased to $11,961,000 from $9,822,000 as of September 27, 1997, principally as a result of the profitability of the Company and reduction in current liabilities. Changes in the components of working capital are detailed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company executed a modification to its credit facility with Bank One, which extended the Company's due date on its revolving line of credit to February 28, 2000 and modified certain restrictive covenants. The Company's operations used approximately $1,208,000 cash in the first six months of fiscal 1998. The Company expects that revenues from operations, when combined with the Company's available credit facilities, should be sufficient in management's opinion to fund the Company's cash needs for the foreseeable future. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On April 30, 1998, the Company sold certain land and a building in Acton, Massachusetts for approximately $1,200,000. No significant gain or loss was realized on the sale. As of April 4, 1998, the land and buildings are included in other assets. On May 3, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with Electronic Designs, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("EDI") and Bravo Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the purpose of entering into the Agreement ("Acquisition Subsidiary"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Acquisition Subsidiary will merge with and into EDI and EDI will be the surviving, wholly owned subsidiary corporation of the Company. Each issued and outstanding share of EDI's common stock, par value $.01 per share, will be converted into the right to receive 1.375 shares of the Company's common stock, stated value $.10 per share (the "Exchange Ratio"). The Company will assume all outstanding options and warrants of EDI, amended to take into account the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to the Agreement, Hamid Shokrgozar, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will be the president and chief executive officer of the combined company and Don McGuinness, EDI's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will be the Chairman of the combined company. The merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of each of the Company and EDI, as well as certain regulatory approvals. 10 12 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS (a) The Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on February 5, 1998.
