CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated balance sheets as of July 4, 1998 and September 27, 1997, the consolidated statements of income for the third quarter and nine months ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the first nine months ended July 4, 1998 and June 28, 1997, have been prepared by the Company 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 Company'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): - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ July 4, 1998 September 27, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raw Materials $1,382 $3,277 Work-in-process 4,098 4,258 Finished Goods 745 623 ------ ------ $6,225 $8,158 ====== ====== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the third quarter, the Company recorded an additional $500,000 inventory reserve as a result of the slow moving parts related to the lower than anticipated business in Asia and the continuing slow down in military memory sales. 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIRD 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 $(659,000) $352,000 Less: preferred stock dividends 90,000 90,000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- BASIC EPS Earnings applicable to Continuing operations, net of tax (749,000) 6,674,992 $(0.11) 262,000 6,666,910 $0.04 Earnings applicable to Discontinued operations, net of tax 518,000 6,674,992 $0.08 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Net Earnings (231,000) ($0.03) 262,000 $0.04 EFFECT OF DILUTIVE SECURITIES Common stock options 34,116 45,771 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Earnings from continuing operations available to common stockholders $(231,000) 6,709,108 ($0.03) $262,00 6,712,681 $0.04 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST NINE MONTHS 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 $(156,000) $1,177,000 Less: preferred stock dividends 270,000 270,000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- BASIC EPS Earnings applicable to continuing operations, net of tax (426,000) 6,674,656 ($0.06) 907,000 6,629,532 $0.14 Earnings applicable to discontinued operations, net of tax 780,000 6,674,656 $0.11 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Net Earnings 354,000 $0.05 907,000 $0.14 EFFECT OF DILUTIVE SECURITIES Common stock options 66,119 9,389 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Earnings from continuing operations available to common stockholders $354,000 6,740,775 $0.05 $907,000 6,638,921 $0.14 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- 6 8 The convertible preferred stock, which was convertible to 1,598,346 common shares on July 4, 1998 and on June 28, 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 97,000 and 86,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.06 to $3.56 per share and $2.19 to $3.56, respectively, were outstanding during the third quarter and nine months of 1998, respectively, 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 February, 2008. 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In December, 1997 the Board of Directors decided to sell its Technologies division. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 a reserve of $1,300,000 for estimated future losses related to the division. On May 3, 1998, the Company reached a definitive agreement to merge with Electronic Designs, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, each share of EDI's common stock will be exchanged for 1.375 shares of Bowmar common stock. One division of EDI manufactures active matrix liquid crystals displays (AMLCD). Subsequent to the execution of the merger agreement, the Bowmar Board concluded there were potential synergies between the Technologies division and EDI's AMLCD business. In addition, the Bowmar Board determined that it was beneficial to account for the pending EDI merger as a pooling of interest. Accordingly, the Bowmar Board reversed its prior decision to divest the Technologies division. During the third quarter of fiscal 1998 income of approximately $518,000, after tax was recognized based on the reversal of the remaining reserve for future losses related to the disposal of the Technologies division. 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 demand for the Company's products, 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 addition, there is no assurance that the Company will successfully complete the EDI merger and integrate EDI's operations with Bowmar's. The failure to consummate the merger could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 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, in December, 1997, the Bowmar Board determined to implement a series of actions expected to strategically reposition Bowmar, reduce corporate overhead and realign management. First, the Bowmar Board determined to close Bowmar's corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona which was accomplished by the end of January, 1998. Bowmar now operates exclusively out of the White Microelectronics division facility also located in Phoenix, Arizona. Second, effective January 2, 1998, Bowmar's President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas K. Lanin, submitted his resignation, and the 7 9 Bowmar Board appointed Hamid Shokrgozar, the White Microelectronics division's president, as President and CEO of Bowmar. Finally, the Bowmar Board made a decision to sell the Technologies division. A $1.3 million reserve for anticipated losses and the cost of disposition of the Technologies division was recorded in fiscal 1997. In addition, in the first quarter of 1998, Bowmar expensed approximately $400,000 associated with the closing of the corporate office and related severance payments. Also, as previously disclosed, on May 3, 1998 the Company entered into a merger agreement with Electronic Designs, Inc. ("EDI"). Pursuant to the merger agreement, each issued and outstanding share of EDI's common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.375 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company will assume all outstanding options and warrants of EDI, amended to take into account the exchange ratio of 1.375. The merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of each of the Company and EDI, as well as certain regulatory approvals. Subsequent to the execution of the merger agreement, the parties considered the possibility of accounting for the merger as a pooling of interests. At the same time, the Bowmar Board considered whether there were potential synergies between EDI's active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) business and the business of the Technologies division. The Bowmar Board concluded that there were such synergies and that to account for the merger as a pooling of interests the divestiture of the Technologies division should be reversed. Accordingly, the Company and EDI amended the merger agreement to facilitate a pooling of interest accounting treatment and on June 1, 1998, the Bowmar Board reversed the decision to divest the Technologies division. As required by EITF 90-16, Bowmar's historical financial information has been reclassified to reflect the results of the Technologies division in continuing operations. RESULTS OF OPERATION Net Sales Sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 1998 were $7,198,000 compared to prior year sales for the third quarter of $6,989,000. Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $22,996,000 compared to $20,175,000 in the same period of the prior year. Sales in the microelectronic segment for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased by approximately $918,000 versus the same period in fiscal 1997. Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were up by approximately $162,000 versus the same period in fiscal 1997. Sales for the third quarter of 1998 were adversely affected as a result of a general downturn in the industry as a whole. Sales in the electromechanical segment for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were $1,127,000 higher versus the same period in fiscal 1997. Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 were up by approximately $2,659,000 versus the same period in fiscal 1997. The increase in sales for the electromechanical segment resulted principally from additional sales of new interface products. The Company experienced a decline in bookings in the third quarter. Management believes this is a result of the current Asian economic situation and the continuing decline in military business. The Company believes that the continuing decline and shift in military spending will have an adverse effect on the Company's overall results. To address this, the Company is more aggressively pursuing commercial business while emphasizing niche military markets where it has a competitive advantage. Gross Margin Gross margins for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased by $1,120,000 compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. Gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 decreased by $944,000 from the same period in fiscal 1997. The decreases are mainly due to the Company's $500,000 increase in the inventory reserve in the microelectronics segment this quarter because of slow moving parts related to the 8 10 lower than anticipated business in Asia and the continuing slow down in military memory sales. Electromechanical sales were a greater percentage of the total sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the previous year. Because electromechanical margins are lower than the microelectronics margins, the overall margins decreased. Additionally, microelectronics margins were down as a result of increased competition in the market place putting downward pressure on memory chip pricing and lowering the Company's average sales price. The electromechanical margins were lower for the quarter and nine months because of production problems associated with the introduction of new products. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased $449,000 versus the same period in fiscal 1997. The decrease was a result of the closing of the corporate office at the end of the 1998 first quarter, and lower sales cost for the electromechanical segment as a result of a reduction in expenses associated with the sales department. Selling expenses for the quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year were lower for the microelectronics division because of lower commissions as a result of the decline in sales. For the first nine months of fiscal 1998 there was a decrease of $80,000 in expenses as compared to the same period in fiscal 1997. The savings in the third quarter were offset by the $400,000 charge taken in the first quarter of 1998 for the reduction and relocation of the Company's corporate headquarters. Product Development Expenses Product development expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were approximately $62,000 lower than the same period of fiscal 1997, but were $77,000 higher for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. The decrease in the third quarter was due to a microprocessor development project in the microelectronics division in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 which was not in process during the same period of fiscal 1998. The overall increase as compared to the prior year for the first nine-months was the result of a heavy emphasis on commercial product development at the microelectronics division during the first six months of fiscal 1998. Interest Expense Interest expense for the third quarter and the first nine months in fiscal 1998 increased by $36,000 and $137,000, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 1997. The increase is primarily a result of additional borrowings to finance the Company's leasehold improvements for the microelectronics facility and financing higher receivables which occurred in the first six months of 1998. Merger Expense The Company expensed $504,000 for costs relating to the pending EDI merger, primarily representing financial, legal and accounting service expenses. The Company expects similar expenses in the fourth quarter of 1998 in connection with the EDI merger. Other Income Other income for fiscal 1998 was $125,000 lower for the first nine months as compared to the same period of fiscal 1997. The decline is due to the loss of rental income as a result of the lease expiration on the Company's former 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 9 11 gain from the sale of a stock investment in the third quarter of 1997. The decline was partially offset by a tax settlement in fiscal 1998 that resulted in income of $292,000. Provision for Income Taxes The income tax expense from continuing operations for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1998 decreased by approximately $144,000 and $374,000, respectively, as compared to the same fiscal 1997 periods. The lower income before income taxes caused the decrease in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The decrease was not as large as would have been anticipated because of the merger expenses. Most of these expenses are not deductible for taxes. As a result, the effective tax rate for the year increased significantly as compared to fiscal 1997. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY As of July 4, 1998, working capital had decreased to $9,677,000 from $9,822,000 as of September 27, 1997, principally as a result of the decrease in inventories. However, this was largely offset by an approximate 4,000,000 reduction in current liabilities. Long term debt has declined $1,772,000 since the beginning of the fiscal year primarily as a result of proceeds from the sale of the building in Massachusetts which were used to retire long term debt. The current portion of long term debt declined primarily as a result of the Company's decision to reduce their cash balances. Changes in the components of working capital are detailed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company's operations provided approximately $658,000 cash in the first nine months of fiscal 1998. The Company expects that revenues from operations, when combined with the Company's available credit facilities, should be sufficient to fund the Company's cash needs for the foreseeable future. On April 30, 1998, the Company sold certain land and a building in Acton, Massachusetts for approximately $1,200,000. No additional gain or loss was realized on the sale. The proceeds were used to retire the Industrial Revenue Bonds and repay $950,000 of the Bank One term loan. Year 2000 Many computer systems experience problems handling dates beyond the year 1999. Many existing computer programs only use two digits to identify a year in the date field. Such systems and programs must be modified or replaced prior to January 1, 2000 in order to remain functional. The Company has undertaken a company-wide review of its Year 2000 exposure. The Company has surveyed its supporting systems and has implemented a plan to make its systems Year 2000 compliant by March 1999. All Bowmar products are now Year 2000 compliant. The Company also has been in contact with its major suppliers and vendors, each of which is either year 2000 complaint or is completing system upgrades to become compliant. The Company is currently responding to customer inquiries with respect to the Year 2000 issue. If modifications and conversions to address the Year 2000 issue are not completed on a timely basis or are not fully effective, the Year 2000 problem may have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company expects to implement successfully the systems and programming changes necessary to address the Year 2000 issue and does not believe the cost of such actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company, its results of operations or financial conditions. 10 12 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 5 Other A stockholder of the company who wishes to submit a stockholder proposal pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for presentation to the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must submit the proposal to the Company at its principal office not later than September 1, 1998 for inclusion, if appropriate, in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such meeting.
