The results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2. MAJOR CUSTOMERS: ---------------- Net revenues from one customer represented 30% of total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 while net revenues from two customers represented 33% of total net revenues for the three months ended September 30,1996.

NOTE RECEIVABLE: --------------- In October 1997, the Company merged Information Technology Consulting, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, into The Reohr Group, Inc. ("Reohr") in exchange for a 2% stock interest in Reohr and the reimbursement of $1 million of expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its efforts to make certain acquisitions in the information technology consulting and staffing field. Of the total reimbursement, $300,000 was paid in cash and the remaining $700,000 is due on the earlier of three years or upon the completion of an initial public offering of Reohr. The note bears interest at 8%. Of the total reimbursement, $292,000 was offset against general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 1997 for costs previously incurred and charged to expense. 5. LINE OF CREDIT: --------------- The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit ($1,508,000 available at September 30, 1997) with a bank which expires on December 31, 1997, subject to annual renewal. Borrowings under the line are at the bank's prime rate. Under the line, the Company is required to maintain specified ratios of working capital and debt to net worth, as defined. 6. STOCK OPTIONS : --------------- The Company has a stock option plan (the "Plan") for employees and directors which provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options. The Company is authorized to issue options for the purchase of up to 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock. Under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price of options granted cannot be less than fair market value on the date of grant. Employee options generally vest and become exercisable ratably over four years. Director options vest and become exercisable ratably six months and one year from the date of grant. All options expire five years from the grant date. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had options outstanding under the Plan for the purchase of 697,349 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $5.125 to $7.875 per share. Options to purchase 442,750 shares of Common Stock were vested at June 30, 1997. 7. EARNINGS PER SHARE ------------------ Earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are calculated as follows: 1997 1996 ----------- ------------ Net income as reported $ 34,598 $ 12,287 Imputed interest income, net of income taxes -- 225,356 ---------- ----------- Adjusted net income $ 34,598 $ 237,643 ========== =========== Actual number of shares outstanding 5,760,820 5,619,595 Net additional shares arising from exercise of warrants and options -- 5,314,719 ---------- ----------- Weighted average number of shares outstanding 5,760,820 10,934,314 ========== =========== Earnings per share $.01 $.02 ==== ==== SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share", was issued in February 1997. SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for complex capital structures on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options. SFAS 128 is required to be adopted for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 1998 and, when adopted, will require restatement of prior periods' EPS. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Introduction The Company provides network computers and related software that are designed to integrate and deliver information to the desktop cost effectively in network- centric environments. The Company's @workStation and NeoStation network computers combine a variety of windowed-display, graphical user interface and communications industry standards to provide the user seamless and transparent access to all information, including text, graphics, audio and video data, on any type of network. The Company has licensed Netscape Navigator(TM), Citrix's ICA (TM) and Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Java(TM) technology that it has incorporated into its products to provide cost-effective access to information and applications within the corporate enterprise and on the Internet. The Company's network computer product line was introduced in June 1996. Prior to the introduction of the network computer, the Company manufactured and marketed a family of desktop computing devices, including multimedia-capable X Window terminals. The Company's current strategy is to become a leader in the emerging market for network computers by focusing on expanding its operating system software products and its network computer hardware. The Company also plans to continue to seek to develop strategic partnerships, and acquire strategic technologies, products or businesses complementary to its current business. The Company sells its products in North America directly to end users and through resellers, system integrators and OEMs. International sales are generally made through distributors. In August 1996, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Information Technology Consulting, Inc. ("ITC"), for the purpose of acquiring companies in the network computer services field, including information technology staffing companies and client-server consulting companies. In January 1997 the Company announced that ITC entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of Global Consulting Group ("Global"), an information technology staffing and consulting company, subject to the consummation by ITC of a public offering of its stock. In March 1997 the Company announced that ITC entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of The Reohr Group, Inc. ("Reohr"), an information technology staffing and consulting company, subject to the consummation by ITC of a public offering of its stock. In October 1997, the Company merged ITC with Reohr and Global. Under the merger, ITC and Global merged into Reohr, and Neoware received stock that represents 2% ownership of Reohr. The Company was also reimbursed for the expenses incurred by the Company and ITC in connection with ITC's efforts to make these acquisitions, $300,000 of which was in cash. The remainder of the expenses were reimbursed by a $700,000 note from Reohr that is repayable on the sooner of three years or the consummation of an initial public offering of Reohr. The note bears 8% interest. In February 1997, the Company formed a new subsidiary, Bridging Data Technology, Inc. ("BDT"). BDT has acquired and further developed a software product, SmartBridge(TM), which utilizes the "intelligent bridging" approach to upgrading programs and data for Year 2000 compliance. Neoware holds a majority ownership stake in BDT, which is based in Atlanta, GA. The SmartBridge product implements an on-site automated bridge building "factory" that creates intelligent bridge modules. These modules allow the uncoupling of applications and data, enabling conversions to take place quickly and with minimal impact to system performance. Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items from the Company's consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of net revenues. Three Months Ended September 30, -------------------- 1997 1996 ------ ------ Gross Profit 30.2% 39.2% Operating expenses: Sales and marketing 16.2 22.8 General and administrative 5.1 9.5 Research and development 7.7 7.5 ---- ---- Operating income (loss) 1.2 (0.6) Interest income (expense), net (0.3) 1.2 ---- ---- Income before taxes 0.9 0.6 Income taxes 0.3 0.2 ---- ---- Net Income 0.6% 0.4% ==== ==== For the three months ended September 30, 1997, net revenues increased to $5,630,992, an increase of 63% from $3,455,620 for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The Company's revenues for the current quarter represent shipments of its line of network computers. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 represent the initial shipments of its network computer line and revenues earned from licensing agreements for its netOS operating system software for network computing devices. The Company is subject to significant variances in its quarterly operating results because of the fluctuations in the timing of the receipt of large orders. The Company's gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 30.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 39.2% for the comparable three-month period of the prior fiscal year. The change in gross profit percentage was a result of the Company deriving substantially less revenue from software licensing as well as an increase in the percentage of sales through third party sales channels. The Company's network computer gross profit margin was unchanged from the prior year quarter. The Company anticipates that gross margin percentage will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the mix of business, including the mix of hardware and software revenues. The gross profit margin also varies in response to competitive market conditions as well as periodic fluctuations in the cost of memory and other significant components. The market in which the Company competes remains very competitive, and although the Company intends to continue its efforts to reduce the cost of its products, there can be no certainty that the Company will not be required to reduce prices of its products without compensating reductions in the cost to produce its products in order to increase its market share or to meet competitors' price reductions. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, net income was $34,598 as compared to $12,287 for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in net income was due to the reimbursement of net expenses of approximately $292,000 previously incurred in connection with its investment in ITC. The Company's net income also reflects net expenses of approximately $150,000 related to the Company's investment in BDT. Net income also reflects significant increases in the Company's investment in both sales and marketing and research and development expenses during the period. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were $1,631,179, an increase of $257,399 from operating expenses of $1,373,780 in the comparable period of the prior year. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1997 increased by $175,548 to $433,685 from $258,137 in the prior year as the Company continued to expand its investment to develop, adapt or acquire technologies that will expand the market for its current and future products. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $120,593 to $909,402 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $788,809 for the prior year as a result of significantly increasing the Company's sales and marketing staff. General and administrative expenses decreased to $288,092 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $326,834 in the prior year due to the reimbursement of expenses related to ITC. General and administrative expenses for the current year also include the addition of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the expenses related to BDT. Operating income (loss) increased to $67,473 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 from an operating loss of ($20,725) for the comparable period in the previous fiscal year. The increase in operating income is the result of increased revenues and the reimbursement of expenses related to ITC which were partially offset by increased investments in the Company's sales and marketing and research and development expenses as well as the expenses related to BDT. Net interest income (expense) decreased in the three month period ended September 30, 1997 due to increased line of credit borrowings, lower interest rates and lower investment balances caused by financing of higher inventory and accounts receivable balances. The effective income tax rates were approximately 35.2% and 36.0% in the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1997, the Company had net working capital of approximately $7,702,000 composed primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and inventory. The Company's principal sources of liquidity included approximately $717,000 of cash and cash equivalents and a $5,000,000 bank line of credit facility, $1,508,000 of which was available as of September 30, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $735,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which was offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. The Company used approximately $317,000 in cash from operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to generating cash from operations of approximately $753,000 during the comparable period of fiscal 1997. The Company expects to fund current operations and other cash expenditures, as well as any acquisitions, through the use of available cash, cash from operations, funds available under its credit facility, possible new sources of debt financing, and its securities.
