INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2002 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. The financial statements, with the exception of the December 31, 2001 balance sheet, are unaudited and have not been examined by independent certified public accountants. 2. INVENTORIES.

OPERATING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION. The following table presents certain operating division information in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which was adopted in 1998.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company has adopted SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives to no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. With the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all acquired intangible assets to make any necessary amortization period adjustments. Based on that assessment, no adjustments were made to the amortization period or residual values of other intangible assets. Other intangible assets amounted to $249,995 (net of accumulated amortization of $492,922) and $234,813 (net of accumulated amortization of $490,867) at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. These intangible assets primarily consist of patents that the Company had been awarded and are amortized over their useful lives or their terms, principally five years. There are no expected residual values related to these intangible assets. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $2,055. Estimated fiscal year amortization expense is as follows: Year ------ 2002 $ 8,390 2003 51,902 2004 51,731 2005 47,838 2006 45,421 7 ITEM 2.

Results of Operations. - --------------------- The following table sets forth certain items as a percentage of net sales and revenues for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- Net sales and revenues 100% 100% Cost of sales and revenues 78 75 -------- -------- Gross profit 22 25 Selling, general and administrative expenses 39 43 Internal research and development 2 3 -------- -------- Loss from operations (18) (21) Loss before income taxes (18) (19) -------- -------- Net loss (18%) (19%) ======== ======== Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET SALES AND REVENUES Net sales and revenues increased $107,000 or 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $3,327,000, compared to $3,220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Contract research, service and license revenues increased $390,000 or 31% to $1,641,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $1,251,000 for 2001. Sales of goods decreased $283,000 or 14% to $1,686,000 for 2002, compared to $1,969,000 for 2001. The following table categorizes the Company's net sales and revenues for the periods presented: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------------------------- 2002 2001 % CHANGE ---------- ---------- ---------- Contract research, service and license revenues $1,641,000 $1,251,000 31% Sales of goods 1,686,000 1,969,000 (14%) ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales and revenues $3,327,000 $3,220,000 3% ========== ========== ========== The decrease in sales of goods for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 is primarily due to decreased sales of manufacturing equipment caused by manufacturing cycles. The increase in contract research, service and license 8 revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 is attributed to an increase in the demand in the Company's biomedical processing services as well as a growth in United States government research and development contracts. COST OF SALES AND REVENUES The cost of contract research, service and license revenues increased $398,000 to $1,185,000, increasing to 72% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $787,000 or 63% of related revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase is due to a change in product mix. Cost of goods sold decreased $222,000 to $1,396,000, but increased to 83% of related sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $1,618,000 or 82% of related sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001, due to lower volume. The cost of sales and revenues increased $176,000 to $2,581,000, and increased to 78% of net sales and revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to $2,405,000 or 75% of net cost of sales and revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The following table categorizes the Company's cost of sales and revenues for the periods presented, stated in dollars and as a percentage of related sales and revenues: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------------------------- 2002 % 2001 % ------------ ----- ------------ ----- Cost of contract research, service and license revenues $ 1,185,000 72% $ 787,000 63% Cost of goods sold 1,396,000 83% 1,618,000 82% ------------ ------------ Total cost of sales and revenues $ 2,581,000 78% $ 2,405,000 75% ============ ============ INTERNAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Internal research and development for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $48,000 or 46% to $56,000, compared to $104,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The Company decreased spending on its catheter development program, while waiting for FDA approval. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $97,000 to $1,297,000, and decreased to 39% of sales and revenues, compared to $1,394,000 or 43% of sales and revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and decrease as a percentage of sales and revenues are due to a decrease in administrative staff as part of a cost reduction implemented by the Company, and lower selling cost. INTEREST The Company earned $23,000 of interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to $100,000 of interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company incurred interest expense of $20,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 of which none was capitalized, compared to $20,000 in the first quarter of 2001 of which none was capitalized. The decline of interest income is due to the Company's utilization of available cash to fund operations. NET LOSS The Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 of $605,000, compared to a net loss of $603,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The loss for the quarter is attributed to the Company's investment in its catheter product as well as manufacturing cycles in its photovoltaic equipment business. Liquidity and Capital Resources. - ------------------------------- To date the Company has been able to fund its operating cash requirements by using proceeds from sale of assets, operations and available lines of credit. On July 25, 2000, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement with the Silicon Valley Bank. The Agreement was amended in January 2002 due to the Company's violation of certain financial covenants, and the line of credit was extended until April 2002. The Company has negotiated an amendment to extend the 9 agreement until April 2003. The agreement provides for a $2 million revolving credit facility, based upon eligible accounts receivable requirements. The line of credit provides the Company with resources for general working capital purposes and Standby Letter of Credit Guarantees for foreign customers. The line is secured by all assets of the Company. At March 31, 2002, interest on the line was at the Bank's prime rate plus 1/2 percent. The line contains covenants including provisions relating to profitability and net worth. Borrowings on the line are classified as a current liability. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had no outstanding debt under this revolving credit facility. The Company believes it has sufficient resources to finance its current operations for the foreseeable future through working capital, its existing line of credit and available lease arrangements. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,220,000 to $4,363,000 at March 31, 2002 from $5,583,000 at December 31, 2001. To date, there are no material commitments by the Company for capital expenditures. At March 31, 2002, the Company's retained deficit was $380,000, compared to retained earnings of $225,000 as of December 31, 2001. Working capital as of March 31, 2002 decreased 7% to $6,283,000, from $6,759,000 as of December 31, 2001. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. - -------------------------------- In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have any impact on the results of operations and financial position of the Company. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company has adopted SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives to no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. With the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all acquired intangible assets to make any necessary amortization period adjustments. Based on that assessment, no adjustments were made to the amortization period or residual values of other intangible assets. SFAS No. 143, "Accounting For Asset Retirement Obligations", issued in August 2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and for the associated retirement costs. SFAS 143 which applies to all entities that have a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2001. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 143 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", issued in October 2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144, which applies to all entities, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. - --------------------------------------- Historically, the Company's business has not been materially impacted by inflation. Manufacturing equipment sales and solar systems are generally quoted, manufactured and shipped within a cycle of approximately six months, allowing for orderly pricing adjustments to the cost of labor and purchased parts. The Company has not experienced any negative effects from the impact of inflation on long-term contracts. The Company's service business is not expected to be seriously affected by inflation because its procurement-production cycle typically ranges from two weeks to several months, and prices generally are not fixed for more than one year. Research and development contracts usually include cost escalation provisions. Foreign Exchange Fluctuation. - ---------------------------- The Company sells only in U.S. dollars, generally against an irrevocable confirmed letter of credit through a major United States bank. Therefore the Company is not directly affected by foreign exchange fluctuations on its current orders. However, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates do have an effect on the Company's customers' access to U.S. dollars and on the pricing competition on certain pieces of equipment that the Company sells in selected markets. 10 Related Party Transactions. - -------------------------- The Company subleases 74,000 square feet in a building from Mykrolis Corporation (a subsidiary of Millipore Corporation), which leases the building from a Trust of which Roger G. Little, Chief Executive Officer, is sole trustee and principal beneficiary. The Company believes that the terms of the sublease are commercially reasonable. The 1985 sublease originally was for a period of ten years, was extended for a five-year period expiring on November 30, 2000 and was further extended for a five-year period expiring on November 30, 2005. The agreement provides for minimum rental payments plus annual increases linked to the consumer price index. Total rent expense under this sublease was $999,000 in 2001. This amount does not take into account rent received by the Company for subleasing approximately 22,000 square feet of its 74,000 square feet to the purchaser of the Company's optoelectronics business. Critical Accounting Policy - Revenue Recognition. - ------------------------------------------------ The Company derives its revenues from three primary sources: 1) sales of solar energy manufacturing equipment and solar energy systems; 2) biomedical processing services; and 3) U.S. government funded research and development contracts. The Company's OEM capital equipment solar energy business builds complex customized machines to order for specific customers. Substantially all of these orders are sold on a FOB Bedford, Massachusetts basis. It is the Company's policy to recognize revenues for this equipment as the product is shipped to the customer as customer acceptance is obtained prior to shipment and the equipment is expected to operate the same in the customer's environment as it does in the Company's. When an arrangement with the customer includes future obligations or customer acceptance, revenue is recognized when those obligations are met or customer acceptance has been achieved. The Company's solar energy systems business installs solar energy systems on customer owned properties on a contractual basis. Generally, revenue is recognized once the systems have been installed and the title is passed to the customer. For arrangements with a number of elements, the Company allocates fair value to each element based on rates quoted in the contract and revenue is recognized upon delivery of the element. The Company's biomedical subsidiary performs surface engineering services to various medical device manufacturers on a contractual basis. The Company recognizes revenue as the products are shipped back to the customer. The Company recognizes revenues and estimated profits on long term government contracts on a percentage of completion method of accounting using a cost to cost methodology. Profit estimates are revised periodically based upon changes and facts, and any losses on contracts are recognized immediately. Some of the contracts include provisions to withhold a portion of the contract value as retainage until such time as the U.S. Government performs an audit of the cost incurred under the contract. The Company's policy is to take into revenue the full value of the contract, including any retainage, as it performs against the contract since the Company has not experienced any substantial losses as a result of an audit performed by the Government. Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. - -------------------------------------------------- The following table summarizes the Company's contractual obligations at March 31, 2002 and the maturity periods and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flows in future periods: PAYMENTS DUE BY PERIOD ------------------------------------------------------------------ LESS THAN AFTER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TOTAL 1 YEAR 1-3 YEARS 4-5 YEARS 5 YEARS ------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Notes payable $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- Non-cancelable operating leases 4,845,000 1,262,000 2,408,000 1,175,000 -- Standby letters of credit 61,750 61,750 -- -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total commercial commitments $4,906,750 $1,323,750 $2,408,000 $1,175,000 -- ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== On October 8, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement with BP Solarex ("BPS") in which BPS agreed to purchase certain production equipment built by the Company, for use in the Company's Chicago factory and in return the Company agreed to purchase solar cells of a minimum of 2 megawatts per year over a five-year term. BPS has the right to repossess the equipment should the Company not purchase its committed quantity. The proceeds from the sale of the production equipment purchased by BPS have been classified as an unearned purchase discount in the accompanying balance sheet. The Company will amortize this discount as a reduction to cost of sales as it purchases solar cells from BPS which amounted to zero during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. 11 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
