The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1996. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated condensed balance sheets and consolidated condensed statements of operations and cash flow for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. 2. Accounts receivable are composed of the following:
JANUARY 31, 1997 OCTOBER 31, 1996 ---------------- ---------------- Accounts receivable $ 7,513,000 $ 7,882,000 Net costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts 265,000 265,000 Less allowance for doubtful accounts (254,000) (268,000) ---------------- ---------------- Accounts receivable, net $7,524,00 $ 7,879,000 ================ ================ Inventories are comprised of the following: JANUARY 31, 1997 OCTOBER 31, 1996 ---------------- ---------------- Finished products $ 3,764,000 $ 4,428,000 Work in process 5,605,000 5,845,000 Materials, parts, assemblies and supplies 6,827,000 5,004,000 ---------------- ---------------- Total inventories $ 16,196,000 $ 15,277,000 ================ ================
Revenue amounts set forth in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations do not include any material amounts in excess of billings related to long-term contracts. Inventories related to long-term contracts aggregated approximately $500,000 as of January 31, 1997 and $628,000 as of October 31, 1996. -6- 3. Long-term debt consists of: JANUARY 31, 1997 OCTOBER 31, 1996 ---------------- ---------------- Industrial Development Revenue Bonds - Series 1996 $ 3,500,000 $ 3,500,000 Industrial Development Revenue Refunding Bonds - Series 1988 1,980,000 1,980,000 Term loan borrowing under revolving credit facility 238,000 317,000 Equipment loans 672,000 719,000 ---------------- ---------------- 6,390,000 6,516,000 Less current maturities (413,000) (494,000) ---------------- ---------------- $ 5,977,000 $ 6,022,000 ================ ================ The term loan borrowings and equipment loans bear interest as of January 31, 1997 at 8.5% and 8.75% respectively. 4. The fiscal 1996 net income from discontinued operations represents the Company's former subsidiary, MediTek Health Corporation, which was sold in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 at a gain of $5,264,000 (89 cents per share). 5. Net income per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period plus common share equivalents arising from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive, and has been adjusted for the effect of any stock dividends and stock splits. 6. Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information for the three months ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows: Cash paid for interest was $95,000 and $67,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $592,000 and $304,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. 7. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 established a fair value based method of accounting for stock options. Entities may elect to either adopt the measurement criteria of the statement for accounting purposes, thereby recognizing an amount in results of operations on a prospective basis, or disclose the pro forma effects of the new measurement criteria in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company intends to adopt the pro forma disclosure features of SFAS No. 123, which are effective for fiscal year 1997. -7- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the three months ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Fiscal 1997 first quarter net income of $1,594,000 ($.25 per share) increased 176% over fiscal 1996 first quarter net income from continuing operations of $578,000 ($.10 per share). For the first three months of fiscal 1997, net sales totaled $14,267,000, representing a 104% increase over net sales from continuing operations of $6,978,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1996. The improved fiscal 1997 earnings are primarily attributable to increased sales as discussed below. Net sales of the Company's Flight Support operations totaled $8,786,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to $6,978,000 in the same period of fiscal 1996. The $l,808,000, or 26%, increase from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997 is principally due to increased sales volumes of jet engine replacement parts to the Company's commercial airline industry customers. Net sales of the Company's Ground Support operations totaled $5,481,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, all of which represented sales of Trilectron Industries, Inc. (Trilectron), a business acquired in September 1996. The Company's Flight Support operations had a backlog which totaled approximately $14 million as of January 31, 1997 and October 31, 1996. The current backlog decreased from $24 million as of January 31, 1996 principally due to expiration of certain customer contracts which have been replaced by orders pursuant to shorter term purchase orders. The Company's Ground Support operations had a backlog totalling $14 million at January 31, 1997. This is a 27% increase over the October 31, 1996 backlog balance of $11 million and is principally due to receipt of a contract approximating $4 million covering deliveries expected to begin in fiscal 1997 and continue into 1998. -8- The Company's gross profit margins averaged 33.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, which approximated the 33.3% average gross profit margins in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This reflects an improvement in gross margins in the Flight Support operations, partially offset by inclusion of the newly-acquired Ground Support operations. Sales of ground support equipment generally carry lower profit margins than those of the Company's Flight Support operations. The improvement in margins in the Flight Support operations reflects volume increases in sales of higher margin products and manufacturing cost efficiencies. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $1,110,000 over amounts in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase from fiscal 1996 is due principally to increased selling expenses by the Flight Support operations and the SG&A expenses of Trilectron. As a percentage of sales, however, SG&A expenses improved to 19.0% of consolidated net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, down from 22.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Income from operations, which totaled $2,034,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, increased $1,309,000, or 181%, over the same period of last year. This increase reflects the increase in sales of Flight Support operations and sales of Ground Support operations as discussed above. Interest and other income in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased $216,000 over the first quarter of fiscal 1996, principally due to interest income on the convertible note received from the sale of MediTek in July 1996. The Company's effective tax rate totaled 32.1% for the first quarter of 1997 and 33.3% in the first quarter of 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the first three months of fiscal 1997, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $368,000 reflecting higher earnings, net of planned increases in inventories to meet customer delivery requirements and scheduled payments of trade accounts payable and other current liabilities. The Company's principal investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were purchases of property, plant and equipment of $1.1 million. -9- The Company's principal financing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $.7 million in proceeds of long-term debt primarily representing reimbursements for qualified expenditures from Industrial Revenue Bond proceeds and the receipt of funds from the exercise of Company stock options of $.4 million. During the first quarter of 1997, Trilectron received approval from Manatee County, Florida for an increase from $3 million to $4 million in the amount of industrial development revenue bonds to be issued to construct and equip a larger facility in Palmetto, Florida. The bonds are expected to be issued in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. There have been no other material changes in the liquidity or the capital resources of the Company since the end of fiscal 1996. -10- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
