MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996
Total revenues increased to approximately $508,000 during the nine month
period ended March 31, 1997 from approximately $485,000 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1996.
The increase of approximately $49,000 in equipment sales revenues relates to new
orders and also to existing rental customers converting to purchase with a
corresponding reduction of approximately $36,000 in rental revenues. A increase
of approximately $10,000 in service income relates to increased test fees.
Certain customers prefer to purchase following the initial rental period
generally ranging from 6 to 12 months and the company does not discount the
purchase price when this conversion occurs.
Gross profit decreased to a loss of approximately $(90,000) during the
nine month ended March 31, 1997 (profit of $205,000 in 1996) due to the revised
classification of field engineering, installation and other field costs as cost
of sales effective April 1, 1996. Similar costs incurred in prior periods are
included in general and administrative expenses because extensive engineering
support was required to complete the sales process. This change is a result of
the change in responsibilities of certain employees caused by the maturing of
the Company's system.
General and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $514,000
during the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from approximately $1,114,000 during
the nine months ended March 31, 1996. This decrease is primarily due to
continued tight control of expenses commensurate with business
requirements and the revised classification described in the prior paragraph.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased to approximately $110,000 during
the nine months ended March 31, 1997, from approximately $294,000 during the
nine months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of $184,000 principally due to
reduced sales commissions.
Other income (net) decreased to approximately $(17,000) of net expense
during the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from approximately $44,000 of net
income during the same period in 1996, due to a decrease in interest income.
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996
Total revenues increased to approximately $130,000 during the three month
period ended March 31, 1997 from approximately $111,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996.
The increase of approximately $19,000 in equipment sales is due to new
customers and some existing customers converting to purchase from rental.
Rental revenues decreased due to conversion of prior rentals to sales.
Increased service income reflects additional testing of the system and
related fees.
Gross profit decreased to a loss of approximately $(73,000) during the
three months ended March 31, 1997 (profit of $27,000 in 1996) due to the revised
classification of costs referred to above.
- 7 -
General and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $191,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 from approximately $328,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996. This decrease is primarily due to cost
controls and the revised classifications described on the preceding page.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased to approximately $25,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997, from approximately $85,000 during the
three months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of $60,000 principally due to
reduced sales commissions.
Other income (net) decreased to approximately $(8,000) of net expense
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 from approximately $10,000 of net
income during the same period in 1996, due to a decrease in interest income.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Net cash used by operations was approximately $672,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 and approximately $1,004,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996. Cash was utilized in all departments, i.e. sales,
marketing, administration and ongoing product enhancement in the United Kingdom
and Europe. Working capital was approximately $700,000 at March 31, 1997 and
approximately $1.3 million at June 30, 1996. Working capital has been utilized
to fund operations.
Currency Fluctuation
Currency fluctuations were insignificant to the Company's operations for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The Company operates in the
United States and United Kingdom (Pound Sterling); sales and rentals may also be
denominated in other currencies, such as the French Franc, the Belgian Franc,
the Dutch Guilder and the German Mark. Changes in the exchange rates of these
currencies could affect the Company's operations and cash flows. Currently, the
Company does not enter into any derivative contracts to hedge these risks.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the results of the Company's
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
