1. Quarterly Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes as of September 30, 1998 and for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results
of operations of the Company for the interim periods. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to
be expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this
report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto and the other information, including
risk factors, set forth for the year ended December 31, 1997 in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
are strongly encouraged to review the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3. Effects of Income Taxes
The Company believes that it has sufficient losses to offset any taxable
income that will be generated in the current year. However, the Company's
use of these losses may result in alternative minimum taxes for Federal
income tax purposes. As a result, the Company has recorded a provision for
income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 (for
anticipated alternative minimum taxes).
The Company believes that it has incurred an ownership change pursuant to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and, as a result, the Company
believes that its ability to utilize its current net operating loss and
credit carryforwards in subsequent periods will be subject to annual
limitations.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims and litigation arising in and
outside of the ordinary course of business. In addition, given the current
state of the Company and its subsidiaries, numerous creditors and parties to
contracts have threatened or initiated litigation to recoup their loans and
investments. If these claims are not favorably resolved, they will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and ability to continue as a going-concern.

The Company entered into a lease for new manufacturing facilities and
corporate offices. This lease commenced September 1, 1997, and extends to
October 31, 2002. Minimum monthly rental payments of $16,000 began on
November 1, 1997, with scheduled annual increases of 6% to 7% per year
beginning November 1, 1998.
6. Customer Supplied Inventory
Prior to July 25, 1997 the Company's CTM Electronics, Inc. subsidiary
purchased certain chips ("die") used in the assembly of multichip modules
("MCM's") sold to one of the Company's significant customers from that same
customer. Effective July 25, 1997, this customer notified the Company that it
will no longer sell die to the Company and instead is providing the die on
consignment. The pro forma presentation below gives effect to this change in
operations on selected line items from the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1997, as if this change had been put into effect on January 1, 1997.

7. Discontinued Operations
On July 10, 1997, The Development Bank of Singapore Limited, one of the
Company's Singapore subsidiaries largest creditors ("DBS"), appointed a
Receiver and Manager to liquidate the assets of
10
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microelectronic Packaging (S) Pte. Ltd. ("MPS"), which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company which manufactured primarily pressed ceramics
products. DBS exercised its option to appoint a Receiver and Manager under
the terms of a Deed of Debenture dated November 27, 1984 (as amended) between
DBS and MPS. The Company anticipates that the Receiver and Manager will
complete the liquidation of MPS in 1998. The Company has guaranteed all of
MPS's obligations to DBS of which approximately $2.6 million was outstanding
as of September 30, 1998. These loans are included in the caption "Debt and
accrued interest of discontinued operations, in default, due on demand" in
the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements. There can be no assurance that such debt will be fully
paid through the liquidation of the assets of MPS. If insufficient, DBS could
demand repayment of the shortfall from the Company through the guarantee. The
Company does not have adequate resources to repay such debt if the guarantee
is called.
The Company recorded the effect of the receivership as of June 30, 1997, and
the results of operations of MPS have been classified as "Loss from
discontinued operations" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a
result of the appointment of a Receiver and Manager, MPS is no longer able to
manufacture its pressed ceramic products and has ceased generating revenue
since July 10, 1997.
During the last several months, the Company (as guarantor) reached written
agreements with all six of MPS' creditors. For five of those creditors (see
separate discussion regarding the settlement of the DBS Bank loans below),
the Company agreed to make payments aggregating $3,478,584 as full
satisfaction of the total of all obligations to these creditors. The payments
to these creditors are due between November 19, 1998 and May 1, 1999. In
addition, for one of these creditors, the Company issued warrants for the
purchase of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $1.00 per share in full satisfaction of the debt. One of the agreements
calls for a payment of $150,000 on November 19, 1998 as payment in full of
the obligation due to that creditor. The Company may either (1) pay the
amount on November 19, (2) obtain assistance from the other five creditors to
extend the payment due date of the agreement to May 1, 1999, or (3) consider
other alternatives. It is uncertain whether such payment will be made on
November 19, 1998 as presently scheduled.
On March 18, 1997, a Receiver was appointed to handle the liquidation of the
multilayer ceramics operations of MPM (S) Pte. Ltd. As of December 31, 1997,
essentially all of the assets of MPM had been sold. Final resolution of the
remaining liabilities will come only after the liquidation of MPS, since MPS
has guaranteed the DBS bank loan and the equipment leases entered into by
MPM. The portion of these liabilities remaining after any reduction
available from the sale of MPS and MPM assets will then be transferred to
MPI, as MPI also guaranteed these loans and leases, which balance was
approximately $2.4 million as of September 30, 1998. As of April 14, 1998,
the Company (as guarantor) reached an agreement with MPM's lessor for the
payment of $483,056 as full satisfaction of the balance remaining after the
sale of the leased equipment; this payment is due on May 1, 1999.
The holders of the debentures issued to Transpac and related parties still
retain $9.0 million of debt securities issued by MPM which are guaranteed by
the Company. The Company and MPM are in default thereunder. On April 22,
1998, the Company (as guarantor) reached an agreement with Transpac for the
payment of $3,112,463 as full satisfaction of the total of all obligations to
Transpac; this payment is due on May 1, 1999. In addition, warrants for the
purchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $1.00 per share were issued to Transpac, and the Company agreed to a
payment of 30% of any monetary proceeds from the
11
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
settlement of a specific claim, and the Company guaranteed a minimum proceeds
of $1,000,000 on or prior to December 31, 1999.
As indicated previously, both MPS and MPM are indebted to DBS, and the
Company has guaranteed those obligations. As of July 20, 1998, the Company
(as guarantor) reached an agreement with DBS for the payment of $1,177,397 as
full satisfaction of all obligations to DBS; this payment is due on May 1,
1999. In addition, the Company agreed to a payment of 5% of any monetary
proceeds from the settlement of a specific claim, and there were further
considerations given to DBS that are not considered material by the Company.
The Company's MPC subsidiary was informed in April 1997 that Carborundum
Corporation ("Carborundum"), its sole customer, was immediately canceling the
manufacturing and related agreements with MPC as a result of Carborundum's
sale of its assets to a third party.
On April 5, 1997, a fire at the Company's MPC facility caused damage to the
building and certain equipment. The Company is insured against the fire, and
believes that it will incur no losses from the fire. The Company has closed
the MPC operation and has terminated all of its MPC employees. The Company
has recorded the effect of the closure of this business as of June 30, 1997,
and the results of operations of MPC have been classified as "Loss from
discontinued operations" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Discontinued operations include management's best estimates of the amounts
expected to be realized on the sale of its assets associated with these
discontinued operations and the expenses to be incurred through the disposal
date. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize and incur could differ
materially in the near term from the amounts assumed in arriving at the loss
on disposal of the discontinued operation. Management anticipates that the
foreign operations will be fully dissolved in 1998. However, Management
cannot predict how long it may take the High Court of the Republic of
Singapore to complete the Winding Up of these companies.
Consistent with the presentation in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997, all debt obligations originating in Singapore have been reclassified to
the caption "Debt and accrued interest of discontinued operations, in
default, due on demand."
8. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
(MPI along with its only operating subsidiary - CTM) will continue as a going
concern. A number of factors, including the Company's history of significant
losses, the debt service costs associated with the Company's high level of
existing indebtedness, the need to complete the debt restructuring by the
agreed-upon debt settlement payment dates, various claims and lawsuits, and
the Company's Singapore operations in receivership and liquidation raise
substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has an accumulated deficiency
of $68.6 million and a working capital deficiency of $30.6 million, which
includes $30.3 million of debt of discontinued operations due on demand and
accrued interest from discontinued operations debt net of the remaining
assets from those discontinued operations. While the Company has completed
debt restructuring agreements with its discontinued Singapore operations
creditors, which provide for a reduced payment of $9.3 million in full
satisfaction of the $30.3 million in debt, the Company does not possess
sufficient cash resources to repay these obligations, and thus would be in
default on all of these obligations. The Company would be unable to repay
these loans in the event that such demand was made by the Company's
creditors. See Note 7 for further information regarding the Company's
efforts to restructure this debt and accrued interest from discontinued
operations.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is currently renegotiating the terms of the debt obligations of
its discontinued Singapore operations. Certain obligations with principal
balances totaling approximately $25.2 million have been guaranteed by MPI.
All of these creditors have signed definitive, binding agreements. The
agreements principally involve MPI paying 30% to 40% of the principal and
accrued but unpaid interest ("Settled Debt Amount") owed to each creditor as
of December 31, 1997, within six months of formal documents being agreed
between the parties. The remaining 60% to 70% would be forgiven by the
creditors at the time of the payment of the 30% to 40% portion. There are
also other non-cash considerations being provided to certain creditors. The
Company has not yet recorded the benefit of such debt forgiveness. The
Company intends to either (1) attempt to obtain financing for the 30% to 40%
portion to be paid by the Company or (2) negotiate with these creditors a
conversion of the Settled Debt Amount into the Company's Preferred Stock,
which will be convertible into MPI Common Stock. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in its efforts to either obtain the
financing needed or complete the debt to equity conversion, on acceptable
terms, or at all, in order to fulfill its obligations under the agreements
reached with creditors. In addition, if the Company is successful in its
efforts to complete a debt to equity conversion, this conversion will
substantially dilute the existing shareholders of the Company. Any failure
on the part of the Company to finalize a settlement with its discontinued
Singapore operations creditors would materially adversely affect the
Company's financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern, and
could, as is the case with other debt defaults and failure to repay, require
that the Company seek bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 of
Title 11 of the United States Code for MPI and its U.S. subsidiaries.
9. Restatement of Current Liabilities of Discontinued Operations, Net to
Shareholders' Deficit
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the High Court of the Republic of
Singapore ordered the Winding up of MPM Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("MPM"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of this decision, MPM cannot
continue as an operating business, and it cannot be allowed to dispose of its
assets or incur further liabilities. In addition, the Company does not have
any control over the management of MPM. This function is undertaken by the
Receiver and Manager appointed by DBS Bank.
In September 1997, the High Court of the Republic of Singapore ordered the
Winding Up of Microelectronic Packaging (S) Pte. Ltd. ("MPS"), also a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. As with MPM, MPS cannot continue as an
operating business, and the Company does not have any control over the
management of MPS. This function is undertaken by the Receiver and Manager
appointed by DBS Bank.
The Company has been informed by DBS and the Receiver and Manager for MPM and
MPS that there will not be any funds remaining (after the liquidation of
assets) to satisfy any claims of unsecured creditors for MPM and MPS.
Due to the circumstances as described above, management, effective with the
quarter ended June 30, 1998, will not consolidate the assets and the
liabilities not guaranteed of MPM and MPS, into the consolidated financial
statements for MPI and subsidiaries. For MPM, the decision was based upon
the Singapore High Court's decision to Wind Up this company. For MPS, the
Singapore High Court had already ordered the Winding Up in September 1997,
however, due to the material amount of assets remaining to be liquidated and
also due to requests made by MPS' Receiver and Manager for the Company to
assist them in the realization and disposal of MPS' remaining assets,
Management elected to consolidate until there was a clearer determination of
the control of the subsidiary and realization of its assets. In July 1998,
Management was informed of the sale of the two buildings owned by MPS. In
addition, it became more evident during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 that
any remaining realization of Accounts Receivable on the books of MPS was
highly
13

questionable. Accordingly the decision was made to not consolidate the
assets and the liabilities not guaranteed by the Company.
The effect of this decision was to reduce the Current Liabilities of
Discontinued Operations, net and improve the Shareholders' Deficit by $10.2
million as of June 30, 1998.
10. Forward Looking Statements
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain forward-looking
statements which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the
effects of debt restructuring.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve substantial risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including those set forth in this section and elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES
For the three months ended September 30, 1998, net sales were $3,739,000 as
compared to $5,655,000 for third quarter of 1997. The Company's CTM
Electronics, Inc. subsidiary has purchased certain chips ("die") used in the
assembly of multichip modules ("MCMs") sold to one of the Company's significant
customers from that same customer (see Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements). Effective July 25, 1997, this customer notified the
Company that it will no longer sell die to the Company and instead is providing
the die on consignment. This change ("consigned die") has resulted in a
reduction in selling prices for products sold to this customer. This change
would have resulted in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997
to be $4,690,000 ("proforma net sales"). Thus, net sales actually decreased by
$951,000 or 20%. The decrease in net sales is due to a 19% decrease in MCM
units shipped, as well as a 3% decrease in average selling prices (after
removing die cost as discussed above). The primary reason for the decrease in
average selling prices resulted from a re-negotiated pricing structure by CTM's
largest customer as well as a change in product mix.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, net sales were $16,898,000,
representing a decrease of $5,309,000 or 24% over net sales of $22,207,000 for
the corresponding period of 1997. Had the consignment policy described above
been in effect as of January 1, 1997, net sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 would have been $11,581,000 ("proforma net sales"). Thus,
net sales actually increased by $5,317,000 or 46%. The increase is due to a 29%
increase in units shipped, combined with an increase in average selling prices
of 5%, due to a change in product mix.
Net sales to one customer comprised 86% and 87% of net revenues for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to 81% and
90% of net revenues for the comparative periods in 1997 to that same customer.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
For the three months ended September 30, 1998, the cost of goods sold was
$2,806,000 as compared to $4,019,000 for the third quarter of 1997, a decrease
of 30%. After eliminating die cost from cost of goods sold for the three months
ended September 30, 1997, cost of goods sold would have been $3,024,000. Thus,
cost of goods sold decreased $218,000 or 7%. The decrease in cost of goods sold
is due to the 19% decrease in MCM units shipped. However, cost of goods sold
for the third quarter of 1998 includes a $350,000 reversal of a previously-
recorded inventory reserve. Without such reversal, cost of goods sold as
percentage of sales would have increased from 71% for the third quarter of 1997
to 84% for the third quarter of 1998. Such increase is primarily the result of
a change in product mix.
15
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the cost of goods sold was
$12,746,000, representing a decrease of $6,356,000 or 33% over cost of goods
sold of $19,102,000 for the corresponding period of 1997. After eliminating die
cost from cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, cost
of goods sold would have been $8,160,000. Thus cost of goods sold increased by
$4,586,000 or 56%. The increase in cost of goods sold is due to the 29%
increase in MCM units shipped. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue
(on a proforma basis) increased by 5% due to declines in average selling prices
of certain products sold to CTM's most significant customer being greater than
declines in cost of goods sold for those products, principally material costs.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $933,000 (25% of net sales) for the third quarter of 1998 as
compared to $1,636,000 (29% of net sales) for the third quarter of 1997. Gross
profit decreased due to decreased sales revenue described above. Gross margin
for the third quarter of 1997 on a proforma basis is 35% of proforma sales. If
the effect of a $350,000 reversal of a previously-recorded inventory reserve
were excluded from the calculation of the 1998 third quarter gross margin, gross
profit as a percentage of net sales would have been 16%. As stated above, the
decline in gross margin from 1997 to 1998 is a combination of declines in
average selling prices of certain products sold to CTM's most significant
customer being greater than declines in cost of goods sold for those products,
principally material costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, gross profit was $4,152,000 (25%
of net sales) as compared to $3,105,000 (14% of net sales) for the third quarter
of 1997. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 on a
proforma basis is 29% of proforma sales. The decline in gross margin from the
1997 period on a proforma basis to the 1998 period is again primarily due to
reduced selling prices and a change in product mix.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $692,000 for the third quarter
and $2,402,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing
decreases of $316,000 or 31% and $1,185,000 or 34%, respectively, from the
comparative periods of 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses for
the 1998 periods include a $100,000 reserve for the anticipated cost to settle
an environmental claim. See Item 3 of the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form
10-K for a discussion of this environmental claim. The decreases in expenses
are primarily the result of the Company's reduction of the additional legal and
consulting fees which had been incurred in connection with the restructuring of
the Company's U.S. operations and the winding up of its Singapore operations.
The Company anticipates that selling, general and administrative expenses, in
absolute dollars, will remain the same or decline for the balance of 1998 at the
level of the third quarter of 1998.
ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Engineering and product development expenses were $306,000 for the third quarter
and $898,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing
increases of $227,000 or 287% and $623,000 or 227%, respectively, from the
comparative periods of 1997. The increases result primarily from the increase
in the engineering staff employed by the Company, which is part of the Company's
commitment to improvement in quality and processes in its manufacturing
facility. The Company anticipates that engineering and product development
expenses, in absolute dollars, will remain the same or decline for the balance
of 1998 at the level of the third quarter of 1998.
16
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $5,000 for the third quarter and $11,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, representing decreases of $2,000 and $21,000,
respectively, from the comparative periods of 1997. Interest expense for 1997
included interest on the $2.8 million of convertible debentures issued in
October 1996. These debentures were converted into common stock by the end of
February 1997, thus no such interest was incurred in 1998. Interest on customer
loans that are related to the discontinued operations in Singapore have been
included in "Discontinued operations: Loss from discontinued operations" line of
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
OTHER INCOME
Other income was $310,000 for the third quarter and $600,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, representing increases of $283,000 and $299,000,
respectively, from the comparative periods of 1997. Other income for the third
quarter of 1998 includes $259,000 relating to the final settlement of an
insurance claim for a fire at the Company's MPC facility in April 1997. Other
income for the first quarter of 1997 included $190,000 received in settlement of
a note receivable which had been previously written-off.
EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES
The Company believes that it has sufficient losses to offset any taxable income
that will be generated in the current year. However, the Company's use of these
losses may result in alternative minimum taxes for Federal income tax purposes.
As a result, the Company has recorded a small provision for income taxes for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998.
The Company believes that it has incurred an ownership change pursuant to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, as a result, the Company believes
that its ability to utilize its current net operating loss and credit
carryforwards in subsequent periods will be subject to annual limitations.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The net operating results of the activities of MPM, MPS, MPC and Furnace Tech
("FT") for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
have been included as income or loss from discontinued operations on the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Amounts recorded as estimated
losses on disposal of assets of the discontinued operations reflect management's
best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized on the sale of the assets
associated with these discontinued operations and the expenses to be incurred
through the disposal date. Such expenses include $3.5 million of interest
expense relating to the indebtedness of the discontinued operations through the
expected completion of the liquidation process for those debts guaranteed by
MPI, which was anticipated to be December 31, 1998. Such interest expense was
recorded as of June 30, 1997. If such indebtedness has not been repaid or
restructured by the beginning of the first quarter of 1999, the Company will
again begin recording interest expense on that outstanding indebtedness.
Interest of approximately $563,000 would be accrued beginning in the first
quarter of 1999 and would continue until the indebtedness is repaid or
restructured.
Beginning in the second quarter of 1998, the Company has discontinued the
consolidation of the assets and liabilities of MPM, MPS, MPC and FT. Those
liabilities and accrued interest guaranteed by MPI have continued to be included
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company. The effect of the
17
deconsolidation of these entities was to reduce current liabilities and improve
shareholders' deficit by $10.2 million as of June 30, 1998.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the High Court of the Republic of
Singapore ordered the Winding up of MPM Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("MPM"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of this decision, MPM cannot
continue as an operating business, and it cannot be allowed to dispose of its
assets or incur further liabilities. In addition, the Company does not have any
control over the management of MPM. This function is undertaken by the Receiver
and Manager appointed by DBS Bank.
In September 1997, the High Court of the Republic of Singapore ordered the
Winding Up of "Microelectronic Packaging (S) Pte. Ltd. ("MPS"), also a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. As with MPM, MPS cannot continue as an
operating business, and the Company does not have any control over the
management of MPS. This function is undertaken by the Receiver and Manager
appointed by DBS Bank.
Due to the circumstances as described in the previous two paragraphs,
management, effective with the quarter ended June 30, 1998, MPI will not
consolidate the assets and the liabilities not guaranteed of MPS and MPM, into
the consolidated financial statements for MPI and subsidiaries. For MPM, the
decision was based upon the Singapore High Court's decision to Wind Up this
company. For MPS, the Singapore High Court had already ordered the Winding Up
in September 1997, however, due to the material amount of assets remaining to be
liquidated and also due to requests made by MPS' Receiver and Manager for the
Company to assist them in the realization and disposal of MPS' remaining assets,
Management elected to consolidate until there was a clearer determination of the
control of the subsidiary and realization of its assets. In July 1998,
Management was informed of the sale of the two buildings owned by MPS. In
addition, it became more evident during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 that any
remaining realization of Accounts Receivable on the books of MPS was highly
questionable. Accordingly the decision was made to not consolidate the assets
and the liabilities not guaranteed by the Company.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company financed its
operations from operating cash flow. During this period, operating activities
of continuing operations provided $319,000. Investing activities, consisting
principally of the acquisition of fixed assets of continuing operations, used
$1,077,000. At September 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency
of $30,554,000 and an accumulated deficit of $68,599,000. At September 30,
1998, the Company had outstanding approximately $25,211,000 of principal amount
of debt from its discontinued operations, which debt has been guaranteed by MPI,
the parent company.
The Company's sources of liquidity at September 30, 1998 consisted of
inventories of $3,393,000, trade accounts receivable of $1,837,000 and its U.S.
cash balance of $516,000. The Company has no borrowing arrangements available
to it.
On July 10, 1997, The Development Bank of Singapore Limited, one of the
Company's Singapore subsidiaries' largest creditors ("DBS"), appointed a
Receiver and Manager to liquidate the assets of Microelectronic Packaging (S)
Pte. Ltd. ("MPS"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which
manufactured primarily pressed ceramic products. DBS exercised its option to
appoint a Receiver and Manager under the terms of a Deed of Debenture dated
November 27, 1984 (as amended) between DBS and MPS. The Company anticipates
that the Receiver and Manager will complete the liquidation of
18
MPS in 1998. The Company has guaranteed all of MPS's obligations to DBS of which
approximately $2.6 million was outstanding as of September 30, 1998. These loans
are included in the caption "Debt and accrued interest of discontinued
operations, in default, due on demand" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There
can be no assurance that such debt will be fully paid through the liquidation of
the assets of MPS. If insufficient, DBS could demand repayment of the shortfall
from the Company through its guarantee. The Company does not have adequate
resources to repay such debt if the guarantee is called.
The Company recorded the effect of the receivership as of June 30, 1997, and the
results of operations of MPS have been classified as "Loss from discontinued
operations" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a result of the
appointment of a Receiver and Manager, MPS is no longer able to manufacture its
pressed ceramic products and has ceased generating revenue since July 10, 1997.
During the last several months, the Company (as guarantor) reached written
agreements with all six of MPS' creditors. For five of those creditors (see
separate discussion regarding the settlement of the DBS Bank loans below), the
Company agreed to make payments aggregating $3,478,584 as full satisfaction of
the total of all obligations to these creditors. The payments to these
creditors are due between November 15, 1998 and May 1, 1999. In addition, for
one of the creditors, the Company issued warrants for the purchase of 200,000
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
On March 18, 1997, a Receiver was appointed to handle the liquidation of the
multilayer ceramics operations of MPM (S) Pte. Ltd. As of December 31, 1997,
essentially all of the assets of MPM had been sold. Final resolution of the
remaining liabilities will come only after the liquidation of MPS, since MPS has
guaranteed the DBS bank loan and the equipment leases entered into by MPM. The
portion of these liabilities remaining after any reduction available from the
sale of MPS and MPM assets will then be transferred to MPI, as MPI also
guaranteed these loans and leases. As of April 14, 1998, the Company (as
guarantor) reached an agreement with MPM's lessor for the payment of $483,056 as
full satisfaction of the balance remaining after the sale of the leased
equipment; this payment is due on May 1, 1999.
The holders of the debentures issued to Transpac and related parties still
retain $9.0 million of debt securities issued by MPM which are guaranteed by the
Company. On April 22, 1998, the Company (as guarantor) reached an agreement
with Transpac for the payment of $3,112,463 as full satisfaction of the total of
all obligations to Transpac; this payment is due on May 1, 1999. In addition,
warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share were issued to Transpac, and the Company
agreed to a payment of 30% of any monetary proceeds from the settlement of a
specific claim, and the Company guaranteed a minimum proceeds of $1,000,000 on
or prior to December 31, 1999.
As indicated previously, both MPS and MPM are indebted to DBS, and the Company
has guaranteed those obligations. As of July 20, 1998, the Company (as
guarantor) reached an agreement with DBS for the payment of $1,177,397 as full
satisfaction of total of all obligations to DBS; this payment is due on May 1,
1999. In addition, the Company agreed to a payment of 5% of any monetary
proceeds from the settlement of a specific claim, and there were further
considerations with DBS that are not considered material by the Company.
Management anticipates that the foreign operations will be fully dissolved in
1998. However, Management cannot predict how long it may take the High Court of
the Republic of Singapore to complete the Winding Up of these companies.
The Company also has various capitalized leases for equipment utilized in the US
operations, with a total balance of approximately $78,000 as of September 30,
1998. These lease obligations are being serviced currently by CTM.
19
The Company previously purchased raw materials from its principal customer. As
of July 25, 1997, the material was supplied by the customer on consignment. As
of September 30, 1998, the Company owes to that customer approximately $3.2
million from purchases previously made before the change to consignment. The
Company is making regular payments to that customer under an informal repayment
plan.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
Status as a Going Concern. The Company's independent certified public
accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit report with
respect to the Company's 1997, 1996 and 1995 consolidated financial statements
related to a substantial doubt with respect to the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Absent outside debt or equity financing, and excluding
significant expenditures required for the Company's major projects and repayment
of debts, and assuming the Company is successful in completing the restructuring
of its debt, the Company currently anticipates that cash on hand and anticipated
cash flow from operations may be adequate to fund its operations in the ordinary
course throughout 1998. Any significant increase in planned capital
expenditures or other costs or any decrease in or elimination of anticipated
sources of revenue or the inability of the Company to restructure its debt could
cause the Company to restrict its business and product development efforts.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the
restructuring of its debt by the agreed-upon debt settlement payment dates, or
at all. If adequate revenues are not available, the Company will be unable to
execute its business development efforts and may be unable to continue as a
going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company's future consolidated
financial statements will not include another going concern explanatory
paragraph if the Company is unable to restructure its debt and become
profitable. The factors leading to and the existence of the explanatory
paragraph will have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to obtain
additional financing.
Risk of Bankruptcy. The Company may need to be reorganized under Chapter 11 of
Title 11 of the United States Code or liquidated under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of
the United States Code. There can be no assurance that if the Company decides
to reorganize under the applicable laws of the United States that such
reorganizational efforts would be successful or that shareholders would receive
any distribution on account of their ownership of shares of the Company's stock.
Similarly, there can be no assurances that if the Company decides to liquidate
under the applicable laws of the United States that such liquidation would
result in the shareholders receiving any distribution on account of their
ownership of shares of the Company's stock. In fact, if the Company were to be
reorganized or liquidated under the applicable laws of the United States, the
bankruptcy laws would require (with limited exceptions) that the creditors of
the Company be paid before any distribution is made to the shareholders.
Future Capital Needs; Need for Additional Financing. The Company's future
capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the extent and
timing of acceptance of the Company's products in the market, requirements to
restructure and retire its substantial debt, requirements to construct,
transition and maintain existing or new manufacturing facilities, commitments to
third parties to develop, manufacture, license and sell products, the progress
of the Company's research and
20
development efforts, the Company's operating results and the status of
competitive products. If the Company is successful in restructuring its debt
obligations, absent debt or equity financing and excluding significant
expenditures required for the Company's major projects and repayments of debts,
the Company anticipates that cash on hand and anticipated cash flow from
operations may be adequate to fund its operations through 1998. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will not require additional financing prior
to such date to fund its operations. In addition, the Company may require
substantial additional financing to fund its operations in the ordinary course,
particularly if the Company is unable to restructure its debt obligations.
Furthermore, the Company may require additional financing to fund the
acquisition of selected assets needed in its production facilities. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional financing
on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
If the Company cannot complete its agreements with its creditors to repay its
obligations by the agreed-upon debt settlement payment dates, the Company will
not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company's high level of
outstanding indebtedness and the numerous restrictive covenants set forth in the
agreements covering this indebtedness prohibit the Company from obtaining
additional bank lines of credit and from raising funds through the issuance of
debt or other securities without the prior consent of DBS and Transpac and other
creditors. If the Company is unable to satisfy its Settled Debt Amount (see
Note 8 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) by the dates these
obligations are required to be satisfied, then the amounts of those obligations
revert back to their original amounts, including all accrued interest, and the
Company would be in default of all of these obligations. If either a sufficient
number of these creditors or any of the substantial creditors choose to
accelerate payments or to place MPI or one or more of its subsidiaries under
judicial reorganization, the Company may be forced to seek protection under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code or similar bankruptcy laws of
Singapore. If the Company were to seek additional financing, such additional
financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.
If additional funds are raised either by issuing equity or convertible or debt
securities, or by converting the discontinued Singapore operations' debt
obligations to equity securities, substantial dilution to the existing
shareholders will result. Since adequate funds are not currently available, the
Company has been required to delay, scale back or eliminate programs which could
continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company has
been forced to delay, downsize or eliminate other research and development,
manufacturing, construction or transitioning programs or alliances or obtain
funds through arrangements with third parties pursuant to which the Company has
been forced to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or to other
assets that the Company would not otherwise relinquish. The delay, scaling back
or elimination of any such programs or the relinquishment of any such rights
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations.
Future Operating Results. The Company's operating results have fluctuated
significantly in the past and will continue to fluctuate significantly in the
future depending upon a variety of factors, including corporate and debt
restructurings, creditor relationships, conversions of significant amounts of
debt into a significant amount of equity, downward pressure in gross margins,
losses due to low shipping volume, delayed market acceptance, if any, of new and
enhanced versions of the Company's products, delays, cancellations or
reschedulings of orders, delays in product development, defects in products,
integration of acquired businesses, political and economic instability, natural
disasters, outbreaks of hostilities, variations in manufacturing yields, changes
in manufacturing capacity and variations in the utilization of such capacity,
changes in the length of the design-to-production cycle, relationships with and
conditions of customers, subcontractors, and suppliers, receipt of raw
materials, including consigned materials, customer concentration, price
competition, cyclicality in the semiconductor industry and conditions in the
personal computer industries. In addition, operating results will fluctuate
significantly based upon several other factors, including the Company's ability
to attract new customers, changes in pricing by the Company, its competitors,
subcontractors, customers or suppliers,
21
and fluctuations in manufacturing yields. The absence of significant backlog for
an extended period of time will also limit the Company's ability to plan
production and inventory levels, which could lead to substantial fluctuations in
operating results. Accordingly, the failure to receive anticipated orders or
delays in shipments due, for example, to unanticipated shipment reschedulings or
defects or to cancellations by customers, or to unexpected manufacturing
problems may cause net sales in a particular quarter to fall significantly below
the Company's expectations, which would materially adversely affect the
Company's operating results for such quarter. The impact of these and other
factors on the Company's net sales and operating results in any future period
cannot be forecasted with certainty. In addition, the significant fixed overhead
costs at the Company's facilities, the need for continued expenditures for
research and development, capital equipment and other commitments of the
Company, among other factors, will make it difficult for the Company to reduce
its expenses in a particular period if the Company's sales goals for such period
are not met. A large portion of the Company's operating expenses are fixed and
are difficult to reduce or modify should revenues not meet the Company's
expectations, thus magnifying the material adverse impact of any such revenue
shortfall. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
incur losses in the future or that such losses will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Repayment of Debt Obligations by MPM and MPS. As of September 30, 1998, MPM and
MPS had combined outstanding borrowings of approximately $25,211,000. Most of
the assets of MPM and MPS have been liquidated by receivers appointed by DBS.
The Company currently anticipates that the remaining proceeds from the
liquidation of assets will be insufficient to fully repay its outstanding debt.
Since the borrowings have been guaranteed by MPI, the Company has renegotiated
terms for the repayment of the remaining indebtedness. The failure of the
Company to consummate the renegotiated debt obligations would materially
adversely affect the Company's financial condition and the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern.
Adverse Impact of MPM and MPS Liquidations on MPI. MPM and MPS are currently
being liquidated under the laws of Singapore. The liquidation of the assets of
MPM and MPS are expected to generate proceeds that total less than the
outstanding obligations of those entities guaranteed by MPI. If such shortfall
occurs, MPI may be forced to repay any outstanding debt because of its role as
guarantor of such debts. If MPI were unable to repay these debts, the Company
may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 of
Title 11 of the United States Code or similar bankruptcy laws of Singapore for
MPI and its subsidiaries.
Certain Obligations of MPS. At September 30, 1998, MPS had outstanding
borrowings of approximately $3,955,000 with DBS and had borrowed an aggregate of
approximately $11,354,000 from a consortium of customers to fund its purchase of
certain CERDIP manufacturing and alumina powder equipment from Samsung Corning.
All of these creditors have signed definitive, binding agreements modifying the
terms and conditions of their borrowings. If the Company is unable to satisfy
the terms of these agreements by the dates these obligations are required to be
satisfied, then the amounts of those obligations revert back to their original
amounts, including all accrued interest, and the Company would be in default of
all of these obligations. If any lender were to then accelerate the principal
due as one of their remedies, such accelerations will materially adversely
affect the Company's ability to continue as an ongoing concern and may force the
Company to seek bankruptcy protection under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of Title 11
of the United States Code or similar bankruptcy laws of Singapore. As a part of
the Consortium, Motorola guaranteed MPS' repayment of $2,000,000 in borrowings
from a certain bank lender. Under the terms of the agreement relating to
Motorola's guarantee, MPI granted Motorola a security interest in all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of MPS, CTM and MPA. While in default,
Motorola may have the right to vote and give consents with respect to all of the
issued and outstanding capital of MPS, CTM and MPA. As a result, during the
continuation of any such event of default, MPI may be unable to control at the
shareholder level the direction of the subsidiaries that generate substantially
all of the Company's
22
revenues and hold substantially all of the Company's assets. Any such loss of
control would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
prospects, financial condition, results of operations and status as an ongoing
concern and could force the Company to seek protection under Chapter 7 or
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code or similar bankruptcy laws of
Singapore. The agreements covering the Transpac Financing, including the
convertible debenture and MPI's guarantee of such MPM indebtedness, contain
numerous restrictions and events of default that have been triggered by the
aforementioned actions and would, if they became effective and operative,
materially adversely affect the Company's business, prospects, results of
operations, condition and status as an ongoing concern and could force the
Company to seek protection under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code or similar bankruptcy laws of Singapore.
High Leverage. The Company is highly leveraged and has substantial debt service
requirements. The Company has $36,749,000 in liabilities as of September 30,
1998. On September 30, 1998, the Company had a total shareholders' deficit of
approximately $28,485,000. The Company's ability to meet its debt service
requirements will be dependent upon the Company's future performance, which will
be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting the operation of
the Company, many of which are beyond its control and on the willingness of the
Company's creditors to participate in restructuring the Company's debt. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the capital
requirements described above or, if the Company is able to meet such
requirements, that the terms available will be favorable to the Company. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".
Highly Competitive Industry; Significant Price Competition. The electronic
interconnection technology industry is intensely competitive. The Company
experiences intense competition worldwide from a number of manufacturers,
including Maxtek Components Corporation, VLSI Packaging, Raytheon Electronic
Systems, Hewlett-Packard Company, Advanced Packaging Technology of America and
MicroModule Systems, all of which have substantially greater financial resources
and production, marketing and other capabilities than the Company with which to
develop, manufacture, market and sell their products. The Company faces
competition from certain of its customers that have the internal capability to
produce products competitive with the Company's products and may face
competition from new market entrants in the future. In addition, corporations
with which the Company has agreements are conducting independent research and
development efforts in areas which are or may be competitive with the Company.
The Company expects its competitors to continue to improve the performance of
their current products and to introduce new products or new technologies that
provide improved performance characteristics. New product introductions by the
Company's competitors could cause a significant decline in sales or loss of
market acceptance of the Company's existing products which could materially
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. The Company is also experiencing significant price competition,
which may materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. The Company believes that to remain
competitive in the future it will need to continue to develop new products and
to invest significant financial resources in new product development. There can
be no assurance that such new products will be developed or that sales of such
new products will be achieved. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to compete successfully in the future.
Reliance on Principal Customer. Sales to one principal customer accounted for
86% of the Company's net sales in the third quarter of 1998 and is expected to
continue to account for most of the Company's net sales. Under the agreement
between the principal customer and the Company entered into in January 1998, the
Company is obligated to provide the principal customer with its requirements for
MCM product. Given the Company's anticipated continued reliance on its MCM
business as a large percentage of overall net sales, the failure to meet the
principal customer's requirements will materially adversely affect the Company's
ability to continue as an ongoing concern. In addition, under the terms of the
agreement, the principal customer is entitled to request repricing of the
Company's products. The
23
Company has negotiated and agreed to such repricing for the fourth quarter of
1998. Such repricing in the future may result in the Company being unable to
produce the products made for the principal customer with an adequate operating
profit, and the Company may be unable to compete with the prices of other
vendors who supply the same or similar products to the principal customer. The
failure to satisfy the terms of the agreement, or the failure of the Company to
achieve an operating profit under the contract, would have a material adverse
impact on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operation.
Significant Customer Concentration. Historically, the Company has sold its
products to a very limited number of customers. Any reduction in orders by any
of these customers, including reductions due to market, economic or competitive
conditions in the semiconductor, personal computer or electronic industries or
in other industries that manufacture products utilizing semiconductors or MCMs,
could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. The supply agreements with certain of the Company's
customers do not obligate them to purchase products from the Company. The
Company's ability to increase its sales in the future will also depend in part
upon its ability to obtain orders from new customers. There can be no assurance
that the Company's sales will increase in the future or that the Company will be
able to retain existing customers or to attract new ones. Failure to develop
new customer relationships could materially adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dependence on Semiconductor and Personal Computer Industries. The financial
performance of the Company is dependent in large part upon the current and
anticipated market demand for semiconductors and products such as personal
computers that incorporate semiconductors. The semiconductor industry is highly
cyclical and historically has experienced recurring periods of oversupply The
Company believes that the markets for new generations of semiconductors will
also be subject to similar fluctuations. The semiconductor industry has
demonstrated a significant prolonged slowdown in demand. There can be no
assurance that growth will return and that the slowdown will not continue. A
reduced rate of growth in the demand for semiconductor component parts due, for
example, to competitive factors, technological change or otherwise, may
materially adversely affect the markets for the Company's products. From time
to time, the personal computer industry, like the semiconductor industry, has
experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in anticipation
of, declines in general economic conditions. Accordingly, any factor adversely
affecting the semiconductor or the personal computer industry or particular
segments within the semiconductor or personal computer industry may materially
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's net sales and results
of operations will not be materially adversely affected if downturns or
slowdowns in the semiconductor, personal computer industry or other industries
utilizing the Company's products continue or again occur in the future.
Technological Change; Importance of Timely Product Introduction; Uncertainty of
Market Acceptance and Emerging Markets. The markets for the Company's products
are subject to technological change and new product introductions and
enhancements. Customers in the Company's markets require products embodying
increasingly advanced electronics interconnection technology. Accordingly, the
Company must anticipate changes in technology and define, develop and
manufacture or acquire new products that meet its customers' needs on a timely
basis. The Company anticipates that technological changes could cause the
Company's net sales to decline in the future. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market, support or
acquire new products successfully, that any such new products will gain market
acceptance, or that the Company will be able to respond effectively to
technological changes. If the Company is unable for technological or other
reasons to develop products in a timely manner in response to changes in
technology, the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations will be materially adversely affected. There can be no assurance
that the Company will not encounter technical or other difficulties that could
in the future delay the introduction of new products or product enhancements.
In addition, new product introductions by the Company's competitors could cause
a
24
decline in sales or loss of market acceptance of the Company's products, which
could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. Even if the Company develops and introduces new
products, such products must gain market acceptance and significant sales in
order for the Company to achieve its growth objectives. Furthermore, it is
essential that the Company develop business relationships with and supply
products to customers whose end-user products achieve and sustain market
penetration. There can be no assurance that the Company's products will achieve
widespread market acceptance or that the Company will successfully develop such
customer relationships Failure by the Company to develop products that gain
widespread market acceptance and significant sales or to develop relationships
with customers whose end-user products achieve and sustain market penetration
will materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. The Company's financial performance will depend in
significant part on the continued development of new and emerging markets such
as the market for MCMs. The Company is unable to predict with any certainty any
growth rate and potential size of emerging markets. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that emerging markets targeted by the Company, such as the market
for MCMs, will develop or that the Company's products will achieve market
acceptance in such markets. The failure of emerging markets targeted by the
Company to develop or the failure by the Company's products to achieve
acceptance in such markets could materially adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Sole or Limited Sources of Supply. Certain raw materials essential for the
manufacture of the Company's products are obtained from a sole supplier or a
limited group of suppliers. There are a limited number of qualified suppliers
of laminate substrates and die which are of critical importance to the
production of the Company's MCM products. In the manufacturing process, the
Company also utilizes consigned materials supplied by certain of its customers.
Such material supplied by customers has historically been in short supply, and
has impacted the Company's ability to produce its goods on a timely basis. The
Company's reliance on sole or a limited group of suppliers and certain customers
for consigned materials involves several risks, including a potential inability
to obtain an adequate supply of required materials and reduced control over the
price, timely delivery, and quality of raw materials. There can be no assurance
that problems with respect to yield and quality of such materials and timeliness
of deliveries will not continue to occur. Disruption or termination of these
sources could delay shipments of the Company's products and could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
operating results. Such delays could also damage relationships with current and
prospective customers, including customers that supply consigned materials.
Product Quality and Reliability; Need to Increase Production. The Company's
customers establish demanding and time-consuming specifications for quality and
reliability that must be met by the Company's products. From initial customer
contact to actual qualification for production, which may take as long as three
years, the Company typically expends significant resources. Although the
Company has generally met its customers' quality and reliability product
specifications, the Company has in the past experienced and is currently
experiencing difficulties in meeting some of these standards. Although the
Company has addressed past concerns and has resolved a number of quality and
reliability problems, there can be no assurance that such problems will not
continue or recur in the future. If such problems did continue or recur, the
Company could experience delays in shipments, increased costs, delays in or
cancellation of orders and product returns, any of which would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of
operations. The manufacture of the Company's products is complex and subject to
a wide variety of factors, including the level of contaminants in the
manufacturing environment and the materials used and the performance of
personnel and equipment. The Company has in the past experienced lower than
anticipated production yields and written off defective inventory as a result of
such factors. The Company must also successfully increase production to support
anticipated sales volumes. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to do so or that it will not experience problems in increasing production
in the future. The Company's failure to adequately increase production or to
maintain high quality
25
production standards would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Expansion of Operations. In order to be competitive, the Company must implement
a variety of systems, procedures and controls. The Company expects its
operating expenses to continue to increase. If orders received by the Company
do not result in sales or if the Company is unable to sustain net sales at
anticipated levels, the Company's operating results will be materially adversely
affected until operating expenses can be reduced. The Company's expansion will
also continue to cause a significant strain on the Company's management,
financial and other resources. If the Company is to grow, it must expand its
accounting and other internal management systems, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in effecting such expansion. Any failure to
expand these areas in an efficient manner at a pace consistent with the
Company's business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations. Moreover, there can be no assurance that net sales will increase
or remain at or above recent levels or that the Company's systems, procedures
and controls will be adequate to support the Company's operations. The
Company's financial performance will depend in part on its ability to continue
to improve its systems, procedures and controls.
Intellectual Property Matters. Although the Company attempts to protect its
intellectual property rights through patents, trade secrets and other measures,
it believes that its financial performance will depend more upon the innovation,
technological expertise, manufacturing efficiency and marketing and sales
abilities of its employees. There can be no assurance that others will not
independently develop similar proprietary information and techniques or gain
access to the Company's intellectual property rights or disclose such technology
or that the Company can meaningfully protect its intellectual property rights.
There can be no assurance that any patent owned by the Company will not be
invalidated, circumvented or challenged, that the rights granted thereunder will
provide competitive advantages to the Company or that any of the Company's
pending or future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the
claims sought by the Company, if at all. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that others will not develop similar products, duplicate the Company's products
or design around the patents owned by the Company, or that third parties will
not assert intellectual property infringement claims against the Company. In
addition there can be no assurance that foreign intellectual property laws will
protect the Company's intellectual property rights.
Environmental Regulations. The Company is subject to a variety of local, state,
federal and foreign governmental regulations relating to the storage, discharge,
handling, emission, generation, manufacture and disposal of toxic or other
hazardous substances used to manufacture the Company's products. The Company
believes that it is currently in compliance in all material respects with such
regulations and that it has obtained all necessary environmental permits to
conduct its business. Nevertheless, the failure to comply with current or
future regulations could result in the imposition of substantial fines on the
Company, suspension of production, alteration of its manufacturing processes or
cessation of operations. Compliance with such regulations could require the
Company to acquire expensive remediation equipment or to incur substantial
expenses. Any failure by the Company to control the use, disposal, removal or
storage of, or to adequately restrict the discharge of, or assist in the cleanup
of, hazardous or toxic substances, could subject the Company to significant
liabilities, including joint and several liability under certain statutes. The
imposition of such liabilities could materially adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company has been
notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency that it considers
the Company to be a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.
Growth Strategy Through Acquisitions. As part of its growth strategy, the
Company has in the past sought and may in the future continue to seek to
increase sales and achieve growth through the acquisition of comparable or
complementary businesses or technologies. The implementation of this
26
strategy will depend on many factors, including the availability of acquisitions
at attractive prices and the ability of the Company to make acquisitions, the
integration of acquired businesses into existing operations, the expansion of
the Company's customer base and the availability of required capital.
Acquisitions by the Company may result in dilutive issuances of equity
securities, and in the incurrence of debt and the amortization of goodwill and
other intangible assets that could adversely affect the Company's profitability.
Any inability to control and manage growth effectively could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully expand
or that growth and expansion will result in profitability or that the Company's
growth plans through acquisitions will not be inhibited by the Company's current
lack of resources.
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's financial performance depends in
part upon its ability to attract and retain qualified management, technical, and
sales and support personnel for its operations. Competition for such personnel
is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
attracting or retaining such personnel. The loss of any key employee, the
failure of any key employee to perform in his current position or the Company's
inability to attract and retain skilled employees, as needed, could materially
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Volatility of Stock Price. The Company believes that factors such as
announcements of developments related to the Company's business, fluctuations in
the Company's financial results, general conditions or developments in the
semiconductor and personal computer industry and the general economy, sales of
the Company's Common Stock into the marketplace, the ability of the Company to
sell its stock on an exchange or over-the-counter, an outbreak of hostilities,
natural disasters, announcements of technological innovations or new products or
enhancements by the Company or its competitors, developments in the Company's
relationships with its customers and suppliers, or a shortfall or changes in
revenue, gross margins or earnings or other financial results from analysts'
expectations could cause the price of the Company's Common Stock to fluctuate,
perhaps substantially. In recent years the stock market in general, and the
market for shares of small capitalization stocks in particular, including the
Company, have experienced extreme price fluctuations, which have often been
unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. There can be no
assurance that the market price of the Company's Common Stock will not continue
to experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations
that are unrelated to the Company's performance.
Recurring Net Operating Losses. The Company's decision to discontinue its
multilayer ceramic operations was the primary factor contributing to its 1996
net loss of $41,842,000. The decision by the principal secured creditors of the
Company's pressed ceramic operations to liquidate that operation's assets was
the primary factor contributing to the 1997 net loss of $11,496,000, as well as
additional loss provisions made in 1997 relating to the discontinuance of the
multilayer ceramic operations. At September 30, 1998, the Company had a working
capital deficiency of $30,554,000 and an accumulated deficit of $68,599,000.
The Company had outstanding at September 30, 1998 approximately $25,211,000 of
principal amount of debt from its discontinued operations, which debt has been
guaranteed by MPI, the parent company.
Year 2000 Compliance. Many currently installed computer systems and software
products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field.
These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish
21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, in less than two
years, computer systems and/or software used by many companies may need to be
upgraded to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Significant uncertainty
exists in the software industry and in other industries concerning the potential
effects associated with such compliance. Although the Company currently offers
products that are designed to be Year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurance
that the Company's products and the software products used by the Company
contain all necessary date code changes.
27
As of September 30, 1998, the Company has partially completed an analysis of its
readiness for compliance with the Year 2000 change. Its assessment of its
manufacturing systems and company products reveals that no known Year 2000
issues currently exist either in the products, their raw materials, or their
relationship as components to larger systems produced by its customers; its
financial systems software is currently being upgraded to a newer replacement
system which will be complete in December 1998, and which system is Year 2000
compliant; documentation systems that currently use fixed dating are Year 2000
compliant, while those that require revision dating are currently under review;
and approximately 50% of the Company's computing hardware systems have been
upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company's costs to become Year 2000
compliant as of September 30, 1998 have been $235,000 for computer software and
$48,000 for computer hardware.
The Company has not yet completed its analysis of its readiness for compliance
with the Year 2000 change. Based upon the partial analysis described above, the
Company believes its exposure to Year 2000 risks is limited because the majority
of the Company's recordkeeping systems are new and compliant and have been
installed within the last eighteen months. The Company utilizes no custom-
programmed "legacy" software or hardware systems known to need Year 2000
upgrading or conversion. The Company believes it should be fully compliant with
its Year 2000 issues by the end of the second quarter of 1999 when it believes
it will have completed due diligence of its internal systems and supplier
compliance requirements, as well as completed the remaining 50% of its computing
hardware upgrades needed. However, there can be no assurance that conditions or
events may occur during the course of the completion of this analysis which will
have an adverse impact on the Company's readiness for compliance with the Year
2000 change.
The Company believes that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential
customers and the performance of vendors may be affected by Year 2000 issues in
a variety of ways. Many companies are expending significant resources to
correct or patch their current software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These
expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase products such as
those offered by the Company or the inability to render services or provide
supplies to the Company. Year 2000 issues may cause other companies to
accelerate purchases, thereby causing an increase in short-term demand and a
consequent decrease in long-term demand for software products, and disruption of
supply patterns. Additionally, Year 2000 issues could cause a significant
number of companies, including current Company customers and vendors, to spend
significant resources upgrading their internal systems, and as a result consider
switching to other systems or suppliers. Any of the foregoing could result in a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has no derivative financial instruments.
The Company has outstanding indebtedness at September 30, 1998 to DBS
denominated in Singapore dollars of approximately Singapore $3,400,000 (U.S.
equivalent $2,144,000). Further, the Company has two buildings, also located in
Singapore, which are mortgaged as security for the Singapore loans, and for
which deposits have been received from purchasers for the sale of such
buildings. All of the Company's other indebtedness is denominated in U.S.
dollars, and all other Singapore-based assets have been liquidated by the
receiver of MPM or MPS and used to retire outstanding indebtedness. The sales
price of the buildings located in Singapore is somewhat more than the amount of
the Company's debt which is denominated in Singapore dollars. Accordingly, the
Company believes its exposure to foreign currency rate movements is extremely
limited since it has matched the maturity and approximate amount of assets and
liabilities denominated in the Singapore dollar.
28
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Due to the closure of the Company's Singapore operations, various
creditors have instituted legal actions against the Company and its
subsidiaries in order to recover amounts due. In addition, numerous
other creditors and parties to contracts have threatened or initiated
litigation to recoup their loans and/or investments. These claims will
not be fully satisfied through the liquidation of assets in Singapore.
If these claims are not favorably resolved, they will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations and ability to continue as a going concern because the
Company has guaranteed substantially all of these debts.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
Options were issued during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to
employees of the Company under the terms of the Company's 1993 Stock
Option/Stock Issuance Plan for 210,000 shares of common stock at a
price of $0.42 per share. Options were issued during the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 to two non-employee directors of the Company under
the terms of the Automatic Option Grant Program of the Company's 1993
Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan for 30,000 shares of common stock at
prices ranging from $0.34 to $0.45 per share. These options were issued
pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D.
On September 24, 1998 a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at $1.00 per share was issued to
STMicroelectronics, Inc. ("ST"), pursuant to the terms of the
Restructuring, Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement between ST and
the Company dated September 24, 1998. This warrant was issued pursuant
the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933
and/or Regulation D.
