AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED, EXCEPT FOR NOVEMBER 30, 1997 AMOUNTS) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Media 100 Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The interim financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements and disclosures reflect all adjustments necessary for fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year or for any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest audited financial statements, which are incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value, and have original maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents include money market accounts. The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under this standard, the Company is required to classify all investments in debt and equity securities into one or more of the following three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported to stockholders' equity. All of the Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Marketable securities held as of August 31, 1998, consist of the following (in thousands): Investments available for sale: Maturity Market Value -------- ------------ U.S. Treasury Notes less than 1 year $ 1,016 U.S. Treasury Notes 1 - 4 years 6,717 ---------------- Total U.S. Treasury Notes 7,733 Municipal Bonds less than 1 year 1,405 Municipal Bonds 1 -3 years 1,581 ---------------- Total Municipal Bonds 2,986 U.S. Agency Bonds less than 1 year 2,041 U.S. Agency Bonds more than 1 year 4,402 ---------------- Total U.S. Agency Bonds 6,443 Money Market Instruments None 7,369 6 2. Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities (continued) Investments available for sale: Maturity Market Value -------- ------------ Corporate Obligations less than 1 year 1,207 Corporate Obligations 1 - 3 years 5,261 ------------------ Total Corporate Obligations 6,468 ------------------ Total investments available for sale $ 30,999 ------------------ ------------------ Marketable securities had a cost of $30,774 and $28,974 at August 31, 1998 and November 30, 1997, respectively, and a market value of $30,999 and $28,892, respectively. To adjust the carrying amount of the August 31, 1998 and November 30, 1997 marketable securities portfolio to market value, an unrealized gain (loss) has been reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 115. 3. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market and consist of the following (in thousands): August 31, November 30, 1998 1997 -------------- ---------------- Raw materials $ 258 $ 305 Work-in-process 310 252 Finished goods 150 139 -------------- ---------------- $ 718 $ 696 -------------- ---------------- -------------- ---------------- Work-in-process and finished goods inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Management performs periodic reviews of inventory and disposes of items not required by their manufacturing plan. 4. Property and equipment, net Property and equipment, net is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and consists of the following (in thousands): August 31, November 30, 1998 1997 ---------------- ----------------- Machinery and equipment $ 11,631 $ 10,428 Furniture and fixtures 1,332 1,288 Vehicles 11 12 --------------- ----------------- $ 12,974 $ 11,728 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization 4,374 3,624 --------------- ----------------- $ 8,600 $ 8,104 --------------- ----------------- --------------- ----------------- 5. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS No. 128). The new standard simplifies the computation of earnings per share and increases comparability to international standards. Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share is replaced by "Basic" earnings per share, which excludes potentially dilutive equity instruments and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" earnings per share, which is computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. 7 5. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share (continued) The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended August 31, Nine Months Ended August 31, 1998 (1) 1997(1) 1998(1) 1997 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- NUMERATOR: Net income (loss) $ (2,419) $ ( 405) $ (6,521) $ 96 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Numerator for basic and dilutive earnings per share - income (loss) available to common shareholders $ (2,419) $ ( 405) $ (6,521) $ 96 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- DENOMINATOR: Denominator for basic earnings per share - weighted -average shares outstanding 8,306 8,164 8,265 8,134 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options - - - 105 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Dilutive potential common shares - - - 105 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding 8,306 8,164 8,265 8,239 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Basic earnings (loss) per share $ (.29) $ (.05) $ (.79) $ .01 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Dilutive earnings (loss) per share $ (.29) $ (.05) $ (.79) $ .01 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- (1) Diluted earnings per share does not reflect any potential shares relating to employee stock options due to a loss reported for the period, in accordance with FAS 128. 6. Contingencies (i) On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid Technology, Inc. ("Avid"), in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint generally alleges patent infringement by the Company arising from the manufacture, sale, and use of the Company's Media 100 products. The complaint includes requests for injunctive relief, treble damages, interest, costs and fees. In July, 1995 the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim denying any infringement and asserting that the Avid patent in question is invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. In addition, Avid is seeking reissue of the patent, including claims that it asserts are broader than in the existing patent, and these reissue proceedings remain pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On January 16, 1998, the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice to either party moving to restore it to the docket upon completion of all matters pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. There can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuit asserted by Avid or that the expense or other effects of the lawsuit, whether or not the Company prevails, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. (ii) From time to time the Company is involved in other disputes and/or litigation encountered in its normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate impact of the resolution of such other outstanding matters will have a material effect on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition. 8 7. Capitalized Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs. Capitalization of costs commences upon establishing technological feasibility. Capitalized costs, net of accumulated amortization, were approximately $89,000 as of August 31, 1998 and November 30, 1997, and are included in other assets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over two years, which approximates the economic life of the product. Amortization expense, included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, was approximately $45,000 and $65,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997, respectively. 8. Income Taxes Due to the net loss for the three and nine months ended August 31, 1998 and the Company's current expectation that it will not be profitable for the full year ended November 30, 1998, the Company anticipates its tax liabilities for fiscal 1998 will not be significant. 9. Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses at August 31, 1998 and November 30, 1997 consist of the following (in thousands): August 31, November 30, 1998 1997 ------------- -------------- Accrued commissions $ 200 $ 213 Payroll and related taxes 1,708 1,552 Accrued engineering, marketing, legal and other expense 7,622 4,689 Accrued taxes 504 504 ------------- -------------- $ 10,034 $ 6,958 ------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements based on current expectations, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties associated with such statements have been described under the heading "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1997. Media 100 Inc. is a technology and market leader in the market for personal computer-based digital video systems. The Media 100 family of products are analog and digital conversion systems that enable users to capture video and audio into a personal computer, perform random-access ("nonlinear") video editing and audio mixing, and directly produce a finished program with broadcast-quality picture and compact disc-quality sound, all without the use of traditional video tape equipment. Results of Operations The following table shows certain consolidated statements of operations data as a percentage of net sales. Three Months Ended August 31, Nine Months Ended August 31, 1998 1997 1998 1997 -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Net sales 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of sales 39.0 39.5 39.0 38.8 -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Gross profit 61.0 60.5 61.0 61.2 Operating expenses: Research and development 43.6 17.7 40.2 17.6 Selling and marketing 36.8 36.0 36.7 35.6 General and administrative 9.3 9.3 9.6 8.6 Restructuring charge - 4.7 - 1.5 -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Total operating expenses 89.7 67.7 86.5 63.3 -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Loss from operations (28.7) (7.2) (25.5) (2.1) Interest income and other, net 4.8 2.7 4.0 2.5 -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Income (loss) before tax provision (23.9) (4.5) (21.5) .4 Tax provision (benefit) - (.9) - .1 -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Net income (loss) (23.9) % (3.6) % (21.5) % .3 % -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ---------------- Comparison of Third Fiscal Quarter of 1998 to Third Fiscal Quarter of 1997 Net sales for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1998 were $10,124,000, a decrease of $983,000, or 8.9%, from the same period a year ago. Net sales decreased for the quarter ended August 31, 1998 primarily due to a decrease in overall units sold and lower average selling prices for the Company's Media 100 products. These lower unit sales and lower average selling prices reflect increased competition for the Company's products. In August 1998, the Company began shipping its first Windows NT products, named Media 100 qx and Media 100 qxc. These two products utilize Adobe Premiere version 5.0, which is the latest version of the low cost video editing software application from Adobe. In addition, this version of Adobe Premiere has been incorporated into the Company's existing products, Media 100 qx and Media 100 qxc for Macintosh, which the Company has been shipping since April 1996. The Company's complete product line includes hardware and software products priced from $1,995 to $19,995, hardware and software upgrades for these products and technical support services for all of the Company's products. 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Third Fiscal Quarter of 1998 to Third Fiscal Quarter of 1997 (continued) Gross profit for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1998 was 61.0%, compared to 60.5% in the comparable quarter a year ago. Reductions in the cost of key component parts used in the manufacture of the Media 100 hardware offset the lower average selling prices allowing the Company's gross profit to remain consistent with the year ago level. The Company sustained an operating loss for the third fiscal quarter of 1998 of $2,906,000 compared to an operating loss of $800,000 for the same period a year ago. Operating income was lower in the quarter ended August 31, 1998 due to lower net sales and higher operating expenses. Operating expenses for the third fiscal quarter of 1998 were $9,079,000, an increase of $1,559,000, or 20.7%, from the same period a year ago. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company announced its intentions to significantly increase research and development expenditures in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997 to support the development of products running on the Windows NT platform. Research and development expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 were $4,413,000, an increase of $2,446,000, or 124.3%, from the same period a year ago. Selling and marketing expenses for the third fiscal quarter of 1998 were $3,728,000, a decrease of $272,000, or 6.8%, from the same period a year ago. The Company decreased its selling and marketing expenses as a result of lower net sales. The Company expects that selling and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars from their current levels in connection with the planned introduction of new products, named Finish, based on the Windows NT platform; the Company expects to begin such shipments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. General and administrative expenses for the third fiscal quarter of 1998 were $938,000, a decrease of $89,000, or 8.7%, from the same period a year ago. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to a reduction in headcount. Interest income for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1998 was $447,000, or 4.4% of net sales, compared to $448,000, or 4.0% of net sales, in the comparable quarter a year ago. It is anticipated that interest income will decrease in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales due to the utilization of cash for the planned introduction of new products and general working capital needs. Other income, net, for the third fiscal quarter of 1998 was $40,000 compared to, other expense, net, of $154,000, reflecting the impact of foreign currency translations arising out of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company currently estimates its tax liabilities for the full year of 1998 will not be material due to an anticipated loss for fiscal 1998 and therefore the Company has not provided for income taxes. This compares to a tax benefit of $101,000 for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1997. The net loss for the third fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1998 was $ 2,419,000 or $0.29 per share, compared to net loss of $405,000, or $0.05 per share, for the same period a year ago. Comparison of First Nine Months of 1998 to the First Nine Months of 1997 Net sales for the first nine months of 1998 were $30,282,000, a decrease of $4,450,000, or 12.8%, from the same period a year ago. The decrease in net sales for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 is primarily attributable to lower unit sales and lower average selling prices for the Company's Media 100 products. These lower unit sales and lower average selling prices reflect increased competition for the Company's products. In August 1998, the Company began shipping its first Windows NT products, named Media 100 qx and Media 100 qxc. These two products utilize Adobe Premiere version 5.0, which is the latest version of the low cost video editing software application from Adobe. In addition, this version of Adobe Premiere has been incorporated into the Company's existing products, Media 100 qx and Media 100 qxc for Macintosh, which the Company has been shipping since April 1996 The Company's complete product line includes hardware and software products priced from $1,995 to $19,995, hardware and software upgrades for these products and technical support services for all of the Company's products. Gross margin for the first nine months of 1998 was 61.0%, compared to 61.2% in the comparable period a year ago. This decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of lower average selling prices partially offset by reductions in the cost of key component parts used in the manufacture of the Media 100 hardware. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of First Nine Months of 1998 to the First Nine Months of 1997 (continued) The Company sustained an operating loss for the first nine months of 1998 of $7,733,000 compared to an operating loss of $732,000 for the same period a year ago. Operating income was lower for the nine month period ended August 31, 1998 due to a decrease in sales and an expected increase in operating expenses. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 1998 were $26,212,000, an increase of $4,227,000, or 19.2%, from the same period a year ago. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company announced its intentions to significantly increase research and development expenditures in fiscal 1998 over fiscal 1997 to support the development of products running on the Windows NT platform. Research and development expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $12,178,000, an increase of $ 6,055,000, or 98.9%, from the same period a year ago. Selling and marketing expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $11,130,000, a decrease of $1,233,000, or 10.0%, from the same period a year ago. The Company decreased its selling and marketing expenses as a result of lower net sales. However, the Company expects that selling and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars from their current levels in connection with the planned introduction of new products, named Finish, based on the Windows NT platform; the Company expects to begin such shipments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. General and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $2,904,000, a decrease of $69,000, or 2.3%, from the same period a year ago. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to a reduction in headcount. Interest income for the first nine months of 1998 was $1,288,000, or 4.3% of net sales, compared to $1,343,000, or 3.9% of net sales, in the comparable period a year ago. It is anticipated that interest income will decrease in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net sales due to the utilization of cash for the planned introduction of new products and general working capital needs. Other expense, net of other income, for the nine month period ended August 31, 1998 was $64,000, a decrease of $415,000 over the same period a year ago, reflecting the impact of foreign currency translations arising out of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company currently estimates its tax liabilities for the full year of 1998 will not be material due to an anticipated loss for fiscal 1998 and therefore a $12,000 tax provision has been established. This compares to a tax provision of $36,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The net loss for the nine month period ended August 31, 1998 was $6,521,000 or $0.79 per share, compared to net income of $96,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same period a year ago. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has funded its operations to date primarily from public offerings of equity securities and cash flows from operations. As of August 31, 1998 the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling approximately $33,956,000. In the first nine months of 1998, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2,871,000 compared to approximately $6,557,000 for the same period a year ago. Cash was generated during the nine months ended August 31, 1998 from an increase in accrued expenses of $3,076,000 and deferred revenue of $1,967,000 and a reduction in accounts receivable of $2,815,000. This increase in cash and cash equivalents was partially offset by a reduction in accounts payable of $446,000, and increases in inventories of $22,000 and prepaid expenses of $76,000. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4,374,000 during the first nine months of 1998 compared to approximately $7,197,000 for the same period a year ago. Cash used in investing activities during the nine month period ended August 31, 1998 was primarily for purchases of equipment of approximately $2,585,000 and net purchases of marketable securities of approximately $1,789,000. Cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 1998 was approximately $432,000 compared to $411,000 for the same period a year ago. All of the cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 1998 came from proceeds from the Company's stock plans. The Company believes its existing cash balance, including cash equivalents and marketable securities, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. 12 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings i) On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid Technology, Inc. ("Avid"), in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint generally alleges patent infringement by the Company arising from the manufacture, sale, and use of the Company's Media 100 product. The complaint includes requests for injunctive relief, treble damages, interest, costs and fees. In July, 1995 the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim denying any infringement and asserting that the Avid patent in question is invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. In addition, Avid is seeking reissue of the patent, including claims that it asserts are broader than in the existing patent, and these reissue proceedings remain pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. On January 16, 1998, the court dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice to either party moving to restore it to the docket upon completion of all matters pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. There can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuit asserted by Avid or that the expense or other effects of the lawsuit, whether or not the Company prevails, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
