Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
This section of the report contains forward-looking statements regarding
the Company's expected growth and enhanced future performance. All forward-
looking statements are subject to risk and actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
many factors which are set forth below.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 ended August 3, 1997
increased by $1,034,000 or 23% to $5,445,000 from $4,411,000 in the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 ended July 31, 1996. Net sales for the first six months
of fiscal 1998 were $9,912,000 or 21% higher than net sales of $8,186,000 in the
first six months of fiscal 1997. The increases were due to continued strong
demand for the company's RedLine data acquisition products and turnkey services.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 47% in this year's
second quarter from 43% in the same period last year. Cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales also increased to 48% in the first half of fiscal 1998
compared to 42% in the first half of fiscal 1997. The increases is a result of
product mix with service-related revenues becoming a bigger part of the
Company's business as had been anticipated. Cost of sales for the Company's
core products, the RedLine ADAPT and ACAP systems, remain at historical 40%
levels.
Research and development expenses decreased by $43,000 to $530,000 in the
second quarter this year compared to $573,000 in the same period last year while
expenses in the first half of this year increased by $39,000 to $1,108,000 from
$1,069,000 in the first half of fiscal 1997. The decrease in the second quarter
this year is primarily due to lower prototyping costs and higher expense
allocation to cost of sales. The increase in the first half this year is due to
the continued ramp up of joint new product development with FEV, the Company's
strategic ally in Germany.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 decreased by $42,000 or 3% to $1,605,000 compared to the same period
a year ago. Expenses in the first six months of this year increased by $188,000
to $3,310,000 from $3,122,000 last year. As a percentage of sales, however,
expenses decreased to 29% from 37% in the second quarter this year and to 33%
from 38% in the first half of this year compared to the respective periods last
year. The decrease in the second quarter reflect the Company's ability to use
its resources more efficiently.
Net other income was $69,000 in this year's second quarter compared to
$40,000 last year and $109,000 in the first half compared to $82,000 in the same
period last year. Higher other incomes reflect gains from sale of fixed assets
and higher available cash invested in interest-bearing accounts at higher
interest rates this year compared to the same period last year.
The effective tax rate computed for the second quarter and first half this
year was 40% compared to 31% and 33% in last year's second quarter and first
half, respectively. The higher tax rates this year reflect the higher domestic
income contribution this year versus last year. Domestic tax rates tend to be
higher than the Company's foreign subsidiary's tax rates. The company reviews
the tax rate quarterly and could make minor adjustments to reflect changing
estimates.
7
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash decreased by $184,000 during the six month period ended July 31, 1997.
The decrease was due to the increase in accounts receivable brought about by
high shipments in the last month of the period. The primary use of the
Company's cash in the first half of fiscal 1997 has been: a) the purchase of
capital equipment used to equip additional personnel, and b) investment in
software development.
Working capital at July 31, 1997 was $6,498,000 compared to $5,726,000 at
the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratios stood at 2.3 to 1.0
at July 31, 1997 and at 3.0 to 1.0 at January 31, 1997. At July 31, 1997, the
Company has a $1,000,000 secured bank line of credit. The Company currently
anticipates that internally generated funds and bank borrowings will be
sufficient to satisfy its anticipated operating and capital needs over the
foreseeable future.
At July 31, 1997, the Company had no material outstanding commitments to
purchase capital equipment. Management believes that inflation has not had a
material effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
factors, including: its ability to introduce new products, services and
enhancements for its customers as demands for increasingly sophisticated
measurement and control systems continue; timing of receipt of major system
orders; timing of service revenues; product mix; uncertainties relative to
global economic conditions; ability to compete for qualified personnel in
various technical positions; the Company's ability to withstand competition
particularly from several companies that are much larger in size than the
Company; natural disasters, particularly earthquakes which may strike the
California area where the Company's headquarters and manufacturing facility are
located; and availability and cost of components for its products.
Management expanded the services side of the Company's transportation
market business. These services include systems integration, project
management, commissioning and installation. These services are usually coupled
with the sale of our RedLine products and has allowed us to pursue further
growth in the transportation market by providing "one-stop" shopping to our
customers. This services business raises several risk factors. Specifically,
the success depends on the time it takes for services personnel and future staff
to come up to speed on our products, customers and the services they will
provide; market acceptance of the services; and the ability to manage customer
projects profitably.
Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the
Company's operating results, past financial performance should not be considered
to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use
historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
