NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Tanisys Technology, Inc. ("Tanisys") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company") as of the dates and for the periods indicated. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All adjustments have been made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which are, in the opinion of the Company's management, necessary for fair presentation of the Company's operating results. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 contained in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 1998. NOTE 2: INVENTORY Inventory consists of the following: JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Raw materials $ 2,706,214 $ 2,770,338 Work-in-process 491,224 280,445 Finished goods 356,661 173,888 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total inventory $ 3,554,099 $ 3,224,671 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory costs include direct materials, direct labor and certain indirect manufacturing overhead expenses. NOTE 3: LONG-TERM DEBT In November 1998, the Company issued $2 million in debt with attached stock warrants to certain stockholders of the Company. The debt is due in two years and carries an interest rate of 10 percent per annum, due quarterly and payable in either unregistered shares of common stock or cash, at the option of the Company. One stock warrant was issued for each dollar of debt, resulting in the issuance of 2 million stock warrants. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The exercise price increases to $0.50 per share after August 1, 1999, and $1.00 per share after October 1, 2000. The warrants expire on November 1, 2001. Through June 30, 1999 the noteholders had been issued 1,350,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of the warrants. The stock warrants and underlying shares of common stock carry no registration rights. 6 The Company determined the fair value of the warrants to be approximately $462 thousand on the date of issuance, and has reflected this value as a discount on the debt. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. Long-term debt to shareholders consists of the following at June 30, 1999: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes payable to shareholders, interest of 10% per annum Payable quarterly in cash or common stock, Unsecured, due November 1, 2000 $ 2,000,000 Less - unamortized discount (331,516) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term debt to shareholders, net of discount $ 1,668,484 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In connection with the placement and issuance of this debt, the Company incurred costs of $21 thousand and issued 100,000 stock warrants to the Company's chairman of the board and 25,000 stock warrants to its external counsel. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at $0.01 per share, and the warrants expire on November 1, 2001. As of June 30, 1999, all of these warrants had been exercised for 125,000 shares of common stock. These shares of common stock carry no registration rights. The Company valued the warrants at $0.60 per share, or $75 thousand. The total debt issuance costs of $96 thousand have been reflected in other noncurrent assets in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the life of the related debt. NOTE 4: PREFERRED STOCK Pursuant to a Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 1998 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Company issued 400 shares of its 5 percent Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Series A Stock"), for $4 million. The Series A Stock is convertible into the Company's common stock at the option of the holder beginning 90 days after the June 30, 1998 closing date. The Company agreed to register the underlying common stock by October 15, 1998 and completed the registration on August 13, 1998. The conversion price is the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $2.31 per share or a variable conversion price based on 80 percent of the average of the three lowest prices of the common stock in the 30 consecutive days preceding each conversion. On the closing date, the variable conversion price was lower than the fixed conversion price, resulting in an immediate benefit to the preferred stockholders of approximately $1.4 million. The $1.4 million value of this beneficial conversion feature was reflected as a discount to the carrying value of the preferred stock and as an increase to paid-in capital. As of March 31, 1999, the $1.4 million of the beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized and charged to accumulated deficit. The Series A Stock carries mandatory redemption rights that can be exercised by the holder if certain triggering events occur. Subsequent to June 30, 1999, the Company's common stock was delisted from trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, but is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board (see Note 8). The delisting was a triggering event under the Stock Purchase Agreement; however, the holder has not informed the Company of any intent to exercise its redemption rights. The Company cannot estimate if or when the holder will exercise its redemption rights. Therefore, the mandatory redemption feature has not been valued. Should the holder exercise its right, the Company will record a charge to the accumulated deficit equal to the difference between the redemption price and the carrying value of the Series A Stock. Dividends are payable quarterly in registered shares of common stock, but must be paid in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. Attached to the Series A Stock were warrants to purchase 199,999 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share. The warrants currently are exercisable and have a term of four years. The Company valued the warrants at approximately $284,000 and reflected this amount in additional paid-in capital. During the first two quarters of fiscal 1999, the holder of the preferred stock converted 145 shares of preferred stock into 1,167,709 common shares. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, an additional 25 shares of preferred stock were converted into 252,017 common shares. 7 At June 30, 1999, the carrying value of the Series A Stock consists of the following: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, September 30, 1998 $ 2,390,475 Conversion of 170 shares of preferred stock to 1,419,726 shares of common stock (1,383,787) Amortization of beneficial conversion feature 865,493 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, June 30, 1999 $ 1,872,181 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5: LOSS PER SHARE Loss per share has been calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares (if dilutive). Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of common equivalent shares and assumed conversion of the convertible preferred stock is antidilutive. Following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted loss per share computations: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loss $ (460,040) $(2,564,191) $(2,147,072) $(6,911,788) Less- Preferred stock dividends (30,235) - (113,797) - Amortization of the value of the beneficial conversion feature on the preferred stock - - (865,493) - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loss applicable to common stock (basic and diluted) $ (490,275) $(2,564,191) $(3,126,362) $(6,911,788) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average common shares used in computing basic and diluted Loss applicable to common stock Per share 23,819,622 20,729,714 22,655,977 20,568,707 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loss applicable to common stock per Share (basic and diluted) $ (0.02) $ (0.12) $ (0.14) $ (0.34) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 6: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This standard establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments, as follows: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loss, as reported $ (460,040) $ (2,564,191) $ (2,147,072) $ (6,911,788) Foreign currency translation adjustment (34,982) - (51,880) - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comprehensive loss $ (495,022) $ (2,564,191) $ (2,198,952) $ (6,911,788) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The adoption of this standard had no net effect on the Company's net loss or stockholders' equity for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of this standard. 8 NOTE 7: SEGMENT REPORTING In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which the Company adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This standard establishes requirements for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Under this standard, operating segments are to be determined consistent with the way management organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The disclosure provisions of this standard are not applicable for interim periods in the year of adoption. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. NOTE 8: SUBSEQUENT EVENT(S) On May 11, 1999, the Company received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") that the Company does not comply with either of the net tangible asset/market capitalization/net income requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Nasdaq had requested that the Company provide it with plans for complying with the requirements. The Company appealed the Nasdaq notification and the appeal was heard on June 24, 1999 before a panel authorized by the Nasdaq Board of Directors. The basis of the appeal was the Company's reliance on Nasdaq Market Place Rule 4310(c)(2) stating a $2,000,000 net tangible asset requirement. The Company believed that the calculation of "net tangible assets" to equal total assets, less intangibles, less total liabilities. However, in accordance with Nasdaq unwritten policy, the value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 4) was excluded from the calculation of the Company's net tangible assets, putting the Company in a position of non-compliance. On July 27, 1999, the Company received notice that the Nasdaq Appeal Panel determined to delist the Company's securities from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective with the close of business July 27, 1999. The Company has appealed the decision and is considering alternatives to comply with the requirements for relisting on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The delisting was a triggering event of the Series A Stock, however, the holder has not informed the Company if or when the holder will exercise its redemption rights. (See Note 4) On July 28, 1999, the Company's stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, which was established for securities that do not meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market's listing requirements. Consequently, selling the Company's common stock could be more difficult because of the smaller quantities of shares that could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts' and news media's coverage of the Company could be reduced. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for shares of the Company's common stock. If the Company is able to regain compliance with the particular deficiency, the Company may be required to demonstrate its ability to sustain long-term compliance with other applicable maintenance criteria. 9 THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q CONTAINS CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION RELATING TO TANISYS AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES THAT ARE BASED ON THE BELIEFS OF THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY AND INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following is a discussion of the interim consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report, and in the Company's Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 1998. For purposes of the following discussion, references to year periods refer to the Company's fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 and references to quarterly periods refer to the Company's fiscal quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. On November 2, 1998, the Company issued $2 million in debt with attached stock warrants to certain stockholders of the Company. The debt is due in two years and carries an interest rate of 10 percent per annum, due quarterly, and payable in either unregistered shares of common stock or cash, at the option of the Company. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth certain consolidated operations data of the Company expressed as a percentage of net sales (unaudited) for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998: FOR THE THREE FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Net sales 100% 100% 100% 100% Cost of goods sold 78% 91% 81% 83% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Gross profit 22% 9% 19% 17% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Operating expenses: Research and development 6% 9% 5% 9% Sales and marketing 6% 11% 6% 9% General and administrative 9% 16% 9% 14% Depreciation and amortization 2% 7% 2% 11% Bad debt expense 0% 2% 0% 1% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Total operating expenses 23% 45% 22% 44% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Operating loss (1%) (36%) (3%) (27%) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Other income (expense): Interest expense (3%) (2%) (2%) (2%) Interest income 0% 0% 0% 0% Other income 0% 0% 0% 0% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Net loss (4%) (38%) (5%) (29%) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- 10 NET SALES Net sales consist of build-to-order ("BTO") services, turnkey and off-the-shelf semiconductor memory modules, memory test solutions and licensing of the Company's proprietary Tanisys Touch technology, less returns and discounts. Net sales increased 94% to $13.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $6.8 million in the same period of fiscal 1998. Net sales for the nine months of fiscal 1999 increased 69% to $40.6 million from $24.0 million in the same period of fiscal 1998. The increases in sales for the third quarter and the nine months are due to sales increases for both tester and memory products. While historical performance is no indicator of future performance, net sales have increased quarter over quarter for three out of the past four quarters. Memory sales have increased due to a larger proportion of modules sold on a turnkey basis where the price includes the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), versus modules manufactured on a contractual basis where the DRAM component is consigned. Many factors will affect the Company's ability to increase and/or maintain sales levels. See the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 1998 for a more complete list of "Risk Factors." COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT Cost of sales includes the costs of all components and materials purchased for the manufacture of products and the direct labor and overhead costs associated with manufacturing. Gross profit increased 358% to $2.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $636 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 22% from 9% in the third fiscal quarter over the same period of fiscal 1998. Gross profit for the nine months of fiscal 1999 increased 86% to $7.6 million from $4.1 million in the same period of fiscal 1998. Gross profit as a percent of sales increased to 19% from 17% for the nine months of fiscal 1999 over the same period of fiscal 1998. The increase in gross margin is a result of increased sales during the respective periods. The increase in tester sales has contributed a greater portion of the increase in gross margin than the turnkey memory products. Variations in the gross margin percentages reflect the mix of the products sold and the differing margins achieved by each product. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development expenses consist of the costs associated with the design and testing of new technologies and products. These relate primarily to the costs of materials, personnel and employee compensation and engineering design consulting fees. Research and development expenses increased by $88 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 to $727 thousand from $639 thousand in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. Research and development expenses for the nine months of fiscal 1999 decreased 10% to $1.9 million from $2.1 million in the same period of fiscal 1998. The decreases in spending over the same periods of last year reflect completion of the major architecture of the Company's Darkhorse Sigma 3 tester platform and the simultaneous decrease in the amount of research and development required on the Company's legacy Sigma 2 tester platform. SALES AND MARKETING Sales and marketing expenses include all compensation of employees and independent sales and marketing personnel, as well as the costs of advertising, promotions, trade shows, travel, direct support and overhead. Sales and marketing expenses increased 19%, or $137 thousand to $877 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $740 thousand in same quarter of fiscal 1998. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased to 6% from 11% in the same quarter of 1998. For the nine months of fiscal 1999 sales and marketing expenses increased 21% to $2.5 million from $2.1 million in the same period of fiscal 1998, an increase of $442 thousand. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to 6% from 9% as compared to the same period of fiscal 1998. The increases in sales expenses represent increases in sales activities, including commissions, while the decreases as a percentage of sales are due to the increased sales volumes. 11 GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel costs and support costs, including compensation, employee benefits, utilities, insurance, professional fees and all costs associated with a reporting company. General and administrative expenses for the third fiscal quarter increased 12%, or $100 thousand, to $1.2 million from $1.1 million for the same quarter of fiscal 1998. General and administrative expenses increased $300 thousand to $3.7 million in the nine months of fiscal 1999 from the $3.4 million in the same period of fiscal 1998. The increase was primarily due to the addition of the Scotland facility. General and administrative expenses when expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 9% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from 16% in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. General and administrative expenses when expressed as a percentage of sales for the nine months of fiscal 1999 decreased to 9% from 14% in the same period of fiscal 1998. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation for all fixed assets exclusive of those used in the manufacturing process and included as part of "cost of sales" and the amortization of intangibles, including goodwill incurred in the May 1996 acquisitions of 1st Tech Corporation ("1st Tech") and DarkHorse Systems, Inc. ("DarkHorse"). Depreciation and amortization decreased to $213 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from the $479 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $671 thousand in the nine months of fiscal 1999, from the $2.6 million in the same period of fiscal 1998. The decrease is due primarily to the complete amortization in April 1998 of goodwill relating to the acquisitions of 1st Tech and DarkHorse. Depreciation and amortization when expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 2% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, from 7% in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. Depreciation and amortization when expressed as a percentage of sales for the nine months of fiscal 1999 decreased to 2% from 11% in the same period of fiscal 1998. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET Other income (expense), net, consists primarily of interest income less interest expense. Interest expense is attributable to borrowings from a revolving credit note, capital leases and notes payable. A major portion of the interest expense relates to credit line draws made for short-term inventory requirements and to fund accounts receivable. Interest income relates to investment of available cash in short-term interest bearing accounts and cash equivalent securities. Other income (expense) increased to $331 thousand in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 from $136 thousand in the same quarter of fiscal 1998. Other income (expense) increased to $888 thousand in the nine months of fiscal 1999, from the $409 thousand of the same period of fiscal 1998. The increases are due primarily to interest expense relating to capital leases, increased borrowings on the Company's line of credit and the long-term debt to shareholders. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES For the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company incurred consolidated net operating losses for U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $5.3 million and $6.0 million and for non-U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $369 thousand and $-0-, respectively. The loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2011. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company had temporary differences resulting in future tax deductions of approximately $756 thousand and $513 thousand, respectively, principally representing tax basis in accrued liabilities and reserves. Deferred income tax assets from the loss carryforwards and asset basis differences aggregate approximately $6.9 million and $4.6 million at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $6.9 million and $4.7 million at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, has been recorded to offset the deferred tax assets due to uncertainty as to whether the benefits will be realized. The availability of the net operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions to reduce taxable income is subject to various limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in the event of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Code. The Company may lose the benefit of such net operating loss carryforwards due to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Code Section 382 limitations. 12 This section states that after reorganization or other change in corporate ownership, the use of certain carryforwards may be limited or prohibited. The Company believes that the IRS Code Section 382 limitation did not exist at September 30, 1998 and if triggered, the consequence is expected to have no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since inception, Tanisys has utilized the funds acquired in equity financings of its common stock and preferred stock, the exercise of stock warrants and stock options, capital leases, operating leases, vendor credits, certain bank borrowings and funds generated from operations to support its operations, carry on research and development activities, acquire capital equipment, finance inventories and accounts receivable balances and pay its general and administrative expenses. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company utilized $1.6 million in net cash for financing activities, primarily to pay down the Company's revolving credit line, and generated $751 thousand of cash in operating activities. For the nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company generated $5.5 million in net cash from financing activities of which $3.3 million was from net draws on the Company's revolving credit line and $2.0 million was from long term debt. The Company utilized $4.4 million of cash in operations during the nine months of fiscal 1999, of which $3.8 million was associated with an increase in accounts receivable. Capital expenditures totaled approximately $152 thousand for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 and $782 thousand for the nine months of fiscal 1999. The Company had $556 thousand in cash and a working capital deficit of $168 thousand at June 30, 1999. In the second and third quarters of fiscal 1999, the Company extended payment terms with some suppliers in order to increase the availability of on-hand cash. At the present time, the Company is not in compliance with the agreed payment terms with many of its suppliers and there can be no assurance that such suppliers will continue to ship supplies to the Company if the Company does not comply with such terms. The Company requires additional equity and/or borrowings to meet its working capital needs, capital requirements and to supplement its existing funds, anticipated cash flows from operations and anticipated amounts available from future vendor credits, bank borrowings, operating and capital lease financing and long-term borrowings over the next 12 months. The Company is actively seeking additional or alternate source or sources of investment but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to locate an alternate source or sources for the required increase in its outstanding debt or that it will be successful in its attempts to raise a sufficient amount of funds in a subsequent equity offering or offerings. In such an event, the Company's inability to raise needed funds could have a material adverse effect on the Company. SUBSEQUENT EVENT(S) On May 11, 1999, the Company received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") that the Company does not comply with either of the net tangible asset/market capitalization/net income requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Nasdaq had requested that the Company provide it with plans for complying with the requirements. The Company appealed the Nasdaq notification, and the appeal was heard on June 24, 1999 before a panel authorized by the Nasdaq Board of Directors. The basis of the appeal was the Company's reliance on Nasdaq Market Place Rule 4310(c)(2) stating a $2,000,000 net tangible asset requirement. The Company believed that the calculation of "net tangible assets" to equal total assets, less intangibles, less total liabilities. However, in accordance with Nasdaq's unwritten policy, the value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was excluded from the calculation of the Company's net tangible assets, putting the Company in a position of non-compliance. On July 27, 1999, the Company received notice that the Nasdaq Appeal Panel's decision to delist the Company's securities from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market effective with the close of business July 27, 1999. The Company has appealed the decision and is considering alternatives to comply with the requirements for relisting on the Nasdaq SmallCap. 13 The delisting was a triggering event of the Series A Stock, however, the holder has not informed the Company if or when the holder will exercise its redemption rights. On July 28, 1999, the Company's stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. which was established for securities that do not meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market's listing requirements. Consequently, selling the Company's common stock could be more difficult because of the smaller quantities of shares that could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts' and news media's coverage of the Company could be reduced. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for shares of the Company's common stock. If the Company is able to regain compliance with the particular deficiency, the Company may be required to demonstrate its ability to sustain long-term compliance with other applicable maintenance criteria. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION A significant percentage of the Company's net sales are produced by a relatively small number of customers. In the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the ten largest customers accounted for approximately 74% of net sales compared to approximately 76% in the same period in fiscal 1998. Four customers represented 17%, 15%, 11% and 9%, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The customer representing 17% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 represented 4% of the Company's sales in same period of fiscal 1998. In the nine months of fiscal 1999, the ten largest customers accounted for approximately 74% of net sales compared to approximately 68% in the same period of fiscal 1998. Four customers represented 10%, 11%, 20% and 11% respectively, in the nine months of fiscal 1999. The customer representing 20% of sales in the nine months of fiscal 1999 represented 6% of the Company's sales in the same period of fiscal 1998. While the Company expects to continue to be dependent on a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of its net sales, there can be no assurance that any of the top ten customers will continue to utilize the Company's products or services. One of the Company's largest customers, L.G. Semicon has been purchased by Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd. (Hyundai). As a result of this transaction, the operations of the two companies will be combined. While a relationship exists with Hyundai, Tanisys does not presently have a contractual relationship. Management of the Company expects to benefit from the increased sales volumes resulting from the combined companies. The Company in general has no firm long-term volume commitments from its customers and generally enters into individual purchase orders with its customers. Customer purchase orders are subject to change, cancellation, or delay with little or no consequence to the customer. The Company has experienced such changes and cancellations and expects to continue to do so in the future. The replacement of cancelled, delayed or reduced purchase orders with new business cannot be assured. The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations will depend significantly on its ability to obtain purchase orders from existing and new customers, upon the financial condition and success of its customers, the success of customers' products and the general economy. Factors affecting the industries of the Company's major customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of certain computer systems to recognize the year 2000 appropriately when the last two digits of the year are entered in the date field. The Company has assessed its Year 2000 requirements and believes that its major computer systems and programs are Year 2000 compliant and that the remaining systems are either already Year 2000 compliant or will become Year 2000 compliant as the Company continues to replace obsolete or non-functional systems as part of its normal asset replacement cycle. The Company could be adversely affected by the Year 2000 problem if computer systems of third parties such as banks, suppliers, and others with which the Company does business fail to address the Year 2000 problem successfully. Many companies may need further modifications or upgrades to their information systems to address the Year 2000 problem. The impact that third parties will have on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition is unknown. While the Company continues to gather data on the Year 2000 compliance status of its customers and suppliers, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 14 problem, if experienced by such third parties, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. Management believes that the worst case scenario could include operational downtime, longer lead times, higher costs, and extended delays in the material supply chain. There can be no assurance that the Company's suppliers who are Year 2000 complaint will not experience problems. The effects are unknown, and are uncertain; therefore, no assurances can be made concerning Year 2000 readiness. The Company initiated a Year 2000 compliance project in October 1996, it is currently 88% compliant with the entire project, and all critical business systems are 100% compliant. Management expects to spend an additional $36 thousand for the completion of this project. There has been no deferral of information technology projects due to accommodate the Year 2000 project. The above Year 2000 disclosure constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" as defined in The Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (the "Act"), which was signed into law on October 19, 1998. The Act provides added protection from liability for certain public and private statements concerning a company's Year 2000 readiness. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company does not believe that there is any material risk exposure with respect to derivative or other financial instruments, which would require disclosure under this item. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS At the date hereof, there are no pending, or to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened matters involving litigation involving the Company. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS (a) Not applicable. (b) Not applicable. (c) In November 1998, the Company issued $2 million in debt with attached stock warrants (the "Warrants") to certain stockholders of the Company (the "Noteholders"). The promissory notes evidencing the debt have a two-year term and bear interest at 10 percent per annum, with interest due quarterly and payable in either unregistered shares of common stock or cash, at the option of the Company. One stock warrant was issued for each dollar of debt, resulting in the issuance of 2 million stock warrants. Each warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock beginning December 1, 1998, at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, increasing to $0.50 per share after August 1, 1999 and to $1.00 per share from October 1, 2000 through the expiration date of November 1, 2001. 1,350,000 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of the Warrants by the Noteholders as of June 30, 1999. The shares of common stock issued in payment of dividends and underlying the warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the exemptions of such registration provided under Regulation D ("Regulation D") of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Company relied upon certain representations and warranties of the Noteholders, including, among other things, their status as "accredited investors" (as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and their ability to evaluate the merits and risks involved and that the Common Stock was acquired solely for their own account for investment and not with a view to distribution. Pursuant to a Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 30, 1998 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") among the Company and KA Investments LDC, the Company issued 400 shares of its 15 Five Percent Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share and stated value of $10,000 per share (the "Series A Stock"), for consideration of $4 million. The Series A Stock is convertible into the Company's common stock at the option of the holder beginning 90 days after the June 30, 1998 closing date. The conversion price is the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $2.31 per share or a variable conversion price based on 80 percent of the average of the three lowest prices of the common stock in the 30 consecutive days preceding each conversion. On the closing date, the variable conversion price was lower than the fixed conversion price, resulting in an immediate benefit to the preferred stockholder of approximately $1.4 million. The Series A Stock carries mandatory redemption rights that can be exercised by the holder if certain triggering events occur, which could require the Company to redeem the Series A Stock for cash based on a formula provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Dividends are payable quarterly in registered shares of common stock but must be paid in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. Attached to the Series A Stock were four-year warrants to purchase 199,999 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the holder of the Series A Stock converted 25 shares of Series A Stock into 252,017 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 1999, a total of 170 preferred stock shares have been converted to 1,419,726 common shares. ITEM 4. OTHER INFORMATION None. ITEM 5.
