In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES Inventories at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 consisted of: 1998 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw materials $ 2,801,031 $ 2,398,066 Finished goods consigned to customers and others 797,204 527,078 Finished goods 715,208 663,500 Reserve for obsolescence (1,124,922) (1,094,922) ----------- ----------- $ 3,188,521 $ 2,493,722 =========== =========== NOTE 3 - EQUITY FINANCING On February 19, 1998, the Company sold 1,100 shares of Series C Preferred Stock through a private placement at its stated value of $10,000 per share. Total net proceeds from this private placement were $10,254,375, after reduction for commissions and issuance costs of $745,625. In conjunction with the transaction, the placement agent was granted a five year warrant to purchase 90,644 shares of common stock at $7.281 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock of the Company, subject to certain restrictions, at a variable conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) the Maximum Conversion Price (as defined below) or (ii) the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the applicable Pricing Period (as defined below). The Maximum Conversion Price for the first year is $11.00. After the first year, the conversion price is equal to the lesser of $11 and the average closing bid price of the five Wednesdays immediately preceding the first anniversary of the date the Series C Preferred Stock was issued. The applicable Pricing Period is a number of consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock initially equal to twelve and increased by one additional consecutive trading day for each full calendar month which has elapsed since February 19, 1998. 6 NOTE 4 - NET LOSS PER SHARE The FASB has issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 15. Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of earnings per share by all entities that have common stock or potential common stock, such as options, warrants and convertible securities, outstanding that trade in a public market. Those entities that have only common stock outstanding are required to present basic earnings per-share amounts. All other entities are required to present basic and diluted per-share amounts. Diluted per-share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations. The Company computed net loss per common share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares, consisting of options, warrants and convertible perferred stock for all periods, were not included in the computation as their effect was antidilutive. However, the eight and five percent premium earned by the preferred shareholders was added to the net loss for computation purposes. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per-share amounts are the same in each period presented. NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCY The Company, along with Stephen O'Hara, Lee B. Lewis and Dale Showers, has been named as a defendant in a securities action captioned Richard Radman and Sol Rosenthal v. Ancor Communications, Inc., et al. filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on July 24, 1997. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when it allegedly made misleading public disclosures relating to the Company's contract with Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. and the Company's financial results, and seeks compensatory losses in an undetermined amount. The lawsuit is also seeking class-action status. The lawsuit was amended on December 1, 1997, by the plaintiffs after the Company moved to dismiss the initial complaint. The amended complaint alleges the same claims as the initial complaint. On March 16, 1998 the Company filed its motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which was heard on April 24, 1998. This action is in its preliminary stages and discovery is currently stayed. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. However, there is no assurance that any judgment, order or decree against the Company arising out of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company is unable to determine at this time if there will be a material adverse outcome. Accordingly no accrual for any possible loss has been provided in the accompanying financial statements. 7 ITEM 2 ------ MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain statements of operations data as a percentage of net sales. For the Three Months Ended March 31 -------------------- 1998 1997 ------ ------ Net sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of goods sold 67.1 60.6 Gross profit 32.9 39.4 Operating expenses: Selling, general & admin. 164.2 83.3 Research & development 139.0 56.8 Total operating expenses 303.2 140.1 Operating loss (270.3) (100.7) Other income (expense) Interest expense (1.3) (0.1) Other, net 6.3 1.2 ------- ------ Net loss (265.3)% (99.6)% ======= ====== Net Sales. Net sales for the first quarter 1998 decreased by approximately $761,000 (42%) from 1997 to $1,042,227. This decrease in net sales is due primarily to a significant decrease in net sales to the Company's Japanese distributor, Hucom, Inc., whose implementation of product was delayed. International net sales in the first quarter decreased from approximately $1,501,000 in 1997 to approximately $657,000 in 1998, representing 63% of net sales to all customers for the first quarter of 1998. Domestic sales volume in the three month period ending March 31, 1998, increased by 28% from the similar period in 1997, as the Company recorded a large sale in the domestic high-speed data backup market. 8 Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 include the effect of an allowance against sales of $368,000 for product returns and customer stock rotation. There was no allowance recorded in the first quarter of 1998. The Company does not generally provide customers with a right of return at the date of sale; however, in response to significant pressure from the marketplace, the Company has allowed product returns in the past from certain customers as a marketing concession to stimulate a positive impression of the Company and its products in the marketplace. In addition, resellers have incorrectly anticipated the configuration needed by end user equipment purchasers and have requested that purchased but unused product be exchanged for the product needed to meet the end user requirements. Further, certain end users have requested that they purchase their initial products from the Company, instead of the reseller, which resulted in credits issued to the resellers. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recorded additional reserves for sales returns and allowances which may occur as a result of the Company's shift in marketing focus to OEMs and resellers who are more experienced in and are focused on specific vertical markets that the Company believes are most appropriate for its products. As a result of all of these factors, the Company's net assets include a reserve to provide for potential future return of product sold in the current and previous periods. The reserve at March 31, 1998, was approximately $454,000 ($650,000 gross sales less the estimated value of product to be returned). Gross Profit. Gross profit in the first quarter of 1998 decreased to $342,618, or 32.9% of sales, from $709,710, or 39.4% of sales, in the first quarter of 1997. Gross profit dollars for the first quarter decreased from the prior period primarily due to the decreased sales volume. Gross profit percentage is impacted by the mix of product sold within a period. In general, adapter cards have lower margins than switches and different switch types have different margins. Gross profit percentage is also affected by indirect costs, such as normal scrap and overhead allocations, the impact of which is decreased as sales increase. Whereas the gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 1998 was positively impacted because the mix of product sold during this period carried greater margins than that sold in the comparable period in 1997, due to the significantly lower sales volume, the indirect costs brought the overall gross profit percentage down. Operating Expense. The Company's operating expenses for the first quarter of 1998 were $3,160,323, or 303.2% of net sales, compared to $2,525,370, or 140.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 1997. The Company believes that the level of expense incurred is appropriate to address the opportunities available to it in the Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") storage and high- performance networking marketplaces. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increases in the cost for personnel and product development expenses. Growth in personnel, particularly in sales and marketing senior management positions, resulted in personnel and related expenses increasing approximately $419,000 in the first quarter of 1998 as compared with the first quarter of 1997. Also included in this increase is a charge of approximately $100,000 to reflect compensation owed a former executive of the Company whose services are being discontinued. The amount of the charge was based on the compensation payable to such officer under the terms of the officer's employment contract. Additionally, the Company's ongoing commitment to product development and enhancements resulted in development expenses increasing $204,000 in the first quarter 1998 as compared with the first quarter 1997. 9 Other Income (Expense) Interest expense increased to $13,055 in the first three months of 1998 from $2,599 in the first three months of 1997 as a result of the Company's payments on an increased level of capitalized lease obligations. Interest income of $65,739 and approximately $21,025 in the first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, was earned from the investment of the net proceeds of preferred stock offerings occurring in February and March of each year, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $10,028,694 as of March 31, 1998, compared to $2,001,404 as of December 31, 1997. Cash flows used in operating activities totaled $2,099,818, due to the operating loss and inventory purchases in anticipation of future sales, as offset by net collections of accounts receivable and increase in accounts payable. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $8,009,220 primarily as a result of the purchase of short-term investments of the Company's private placement proceeds. On February 19, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $11,000,000 (1,100 shares) of Series C Preferred Stock which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $10,254,375. The Securities were privately sold to accredited investors by Dunwoody Brokerage Services, Inc. ("Dunwoody"). As consideration for its services, Dunwoody received a fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds, plus a five-year warrant to purchase 90,644 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $7.281. The securities were sold pursuant to Rule 506 under Regulation D. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock of the Company, subject to certain restrictions, at a variable conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) the Maximum Conversion Price (as defined below) or (ii) the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the applicable pricing Period (as defined below). The Maximum Conversion Price for the first year is $11.00. After the first year, the conversion price is equal to the lesser of $11 and the average closing bid price of the five Wednesdays immediately preceding the first anniversary of the date the Series C Preferred Stock was issued. The applicable Pricing Period is a number of consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock initially equal to twelve and increased by one additional consecutive trading day for each full calendar month which has elapsed since February 19, 1998. The Company believes that the capital received from the private placement will provide adequate liquidity to fund growth, operations and capital expenditures for 1998. Shareholder Litigation. The Company, along with Stephen O'Hara, Lee B. Lewis and Dale Showers, has been named as a defendant in a securities action captioned Richard Radman and Sol Rosenthal v. Ancor Communications, Inc., et al. filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on July 24, 1997. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when it allegedly made misleading public disclosures relating to the Company's contract with Sequent Computer 10 Systems, Inc. and the Company's financial results, and seeks compensatory losses in an undetermined amount. The lawsuit is also seeking class-action status. The lawsuit was amended on December 1, 1997, by the plaintiffs after the Company moved to dismiss the initial complaint. The amended complaint alleges the same claims as the initial complaint. On March 16, 1998 the Company filed its motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which was heard on April 24, 1998. This action is in its preliminary stages and discovery is currently stayed. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. However, there is no assurance that any judgment, order or decree against the Company arising out of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business. The Company is unable to determine at this time if there will be a material adverse outcome. No provision has been made for any loss that may occur as a result of an adverse outcome of the suit. Year 2000 Issue. Per SEC Staff Legal Bulletin No. 5 issued October 8, 1997, revised January 12, 1998, the Company has investigated the impact of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue on its information systems. During fiscal 1996 the Company purchased from a world-wide supplier and developer of information systems an enterprise-wide information system. The developer of this information system has provided its clients written assurance that the system will correctly function across the year 2000, as verified by previous system tests and year 2000 certification by the International Technology Association of America. Additionally, the Company's products, including software, are not date sensitive as to functionality. Therefore, Y2K is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flow. SAFE HARBOR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT - -------------------------------- Statements made in this Management's Discussion and Analysis that are not historical in nature, including statements regarding the level of future revenues and expenses, are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that may affect the Company's future performance and results are set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the level of market acceptance of Fibre Channel technology and the Company's products, the Company's ability to retain current customers and attract new customers, the Company's ability to compete with others providing Fibre Channel technology, competition from existing and new technologies, the Company's ability to manage growth, the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and the ability of the Company's products to interoperate with products manufactured by others. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The Company, along with Stephen O'Hara, Lee B. Lewis and Dale Showers, has been named as a defendant in a securities action captioned Richard Radman and Sol Rosenthal v. Ancor Communications, Inc., et al. filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on July 24, 1997. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated sections 10(b) and 11 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when it allegedly made misleading public disclosures relating to the Company's contract with Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. and the Company's financial results, and seeks compensatory losses in an undetermined amount.
