Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
|
Reported financial results may not be indicative of the financial results of future periods. All non-historical information contained in the following discussion constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Some forward-looking statements are identified by words, such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate, "project," and similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, operating results, new product introductions and sales, competitive conditions, customer demand, capital expenditures and resources, manufacturing capacity utilization, and intellectual property claims and defense. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are included in, but not limited to, those identified in "Factors Affecting Future Results" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's fiscal year ended September 29, 2002 and elsewhere in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in such Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. |
|
Results of Operations |
|
Revenues |
|
Net revenues decreased 33 percent, from $1,801,100 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, to $1,206,300 for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003. The downturn in the economy and industry continued to adversely affect the Company's revenues. While the Company enjoyed a slight increase in commercial bookings during the second quarter of fiscal 2003, bookings decreased dramatically during the third quarter. The decrease was not concentrated in any specific product. |
|
Expenses |
|
Cost of revenues decreased 53 percent, from $1,743,100 in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, to $819,500 in the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003. The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased 29 percentage points from three percent for the fiscal 2002 quarter to 32 percent for the fiscal 2003 quarter. This increase in gross margin resulted from the Company's efforts to control and reduce manufacturing costs over the past few years and from the sale of some zero-cost, obsolete parts during the fiscal 2003 quarter. |
|
Research and development expense increased 26 percent, from $380,600 in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, to $479,300 in the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003. The majority of this increase was the result of software costs and the hiring of more experienced staff. While the Company continues to try to control its costs, it believes the development of new products is vital to the growth of the Company and intends to focus its efforts on research and development activities. |
|
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased seven percent, from $517,700 in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, to $482,100 in the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003. The Company's move to a new facility saved approximately $40,000 in the 2003 fiscal quarter, as a result of a reduction in rented space and the current market conditions resulting in substantially reduced rental rates. |
|
The Company's gross margin increase resulted in the Company recording a loss from operations of $574,600 for the fiscal 2003 quarter, compared to a loss from operations of $840,300 in the fiscal 2002 quarter. |
The Company had $8,400 of other income in the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003 compared to $10,800 of other expense in June 30, 2002. The other expense in the fiscal 2002 period resulted from interest expense from bank borrowings, while the Company had no bank borrowings in the fiscal 2003 period. |
|
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of $566,200 for the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003, compared to a net loss of $854,000 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002. |
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
|
Cash Flows |
|
While the Company had a net loss of $1,737,100, its operations provided $1,569,300 of net cash during the nine fiscal months ended June 29, 2003. This was mainly the result of the collection of accounts receivable of $2,001,800, a decrease in inventory of approximately $794,800 as the Company used existing inventory to ship a majority of the period's sales, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $287,600. At the same time, the Company used only $147,500 of cash to reduce its liabilities, as it has carried less than $500,000 in total liabilities for the past 12 months. The Company used some of this cash from operations to purchase capital assets aggregating $264,800 and to fund the repurchase of $233,700 of its common stock on the open market. |
|
During the nine fiscal months ended June 30, 2002, the Company's operations provided net cash of $337,200. This increase was mainly the result of collecting some overdue accounts receivable and the use of existing inventory to ship the period's sales. The Company continued its attempt to maintain its prompt payment terms with vendors, so accounts payable decreased $101,800. During the nine months ended June 30, 2002, the Company paid $39,900 against capital lease obligations and drew down $1,050,000 on its line of credit. However, the Company used accounts receivable collections to pay down the entire line of credit balance to zero by the end of the nine-month fiscal period. |
|
Working Capital |
|
The Company's accounts receivable often equals approximately half to two-thirds its quarterly revenues, as many of its customers tend to request shipment during the latter portion of the fiscal quarter. Therefore, a large portion of the Company's accounts receivable are typically not due at quarter-end, according to the Company's net 30 terms. The Company continues to work to accelerate collections and to work closely with customers to spread their orders and shipments throughout the quarter, which helps reduce the ending accounts receivable balance. At the end of fiscal 2002, the Company had an unusually high accounts receivable balance due to one customer having a large balance, which was subsequently collected. |

As a nature of its business, the Company's investment in inventories has been, and will continue to be, significant (at forecasted fiscal 2003 sales levels, on-hand inventories approximate 24 months of sales). However, the Company does not anticipate the current slump in the industry and economy to continue indefinitely. In addition, the Company's products have long product life cycles. Although high levels of inventory impact liquidity, the Company believes these costs are a less costly alternative to owning a wafer fabrication facility. |
|
During fiscal 2002, the Company reduced its inventory by 18 percent, or $2,104,600. The Company continued its efforts to reduce inventory during fiscal 2003 (reduction of 8.3 percent as of June 29, 2003) and plans to continue those efforts in future periods. The Company provides reserves for product material that is over one-year old and has no backlog or sales activity, and for future obsolescence. The Company also takes physical inventory write-downs for obsolescence and slow-moving items. The Company establishes reserves through periodic reviews of inventory on-hand, including lower-of-cost-or-market and excess analyses. For example, if a product type has unit costs higher than the average selling price or has more on-hand than it has sold or expects to sell, the Company provides a reserve. |
|
Financing |
|
The Company will continue to evaluate future debt and equity financing opportunities; however, it feels the cost reductions taken in the past few years have resulted in sufficient cash flow generated from operations to provide an adequate base of liquidity to fund future operating and capital needs. The Company's belief is based on the fact that, as of June 29, 2003, it holds approximately $2.1 million in cash reserves and its anticipated cash usage for operations is approximately equal to or less than its current revenue rate. Therefore, it believes it can cover its cash operating expenses using future revenues, while saving current cash reserves for the stock repurchase plan and future capital expenditures, such as mask tooling for new products. |

New Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and the interim disclosure provisions are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company currently plans to continue to apply the intrinsic-value based method to account for stock options, but has included the required interim disclosures per SFAS No. 148. |
|
On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting for derivatives instruments by providing guidance related to circumstances under which a contract with a net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative as discussed in Statement 133, and also clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component. SFAS No. 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting for derivative contracts and must be applied prospectively for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In management's opinion, adoption of SFAS No. 149 is not expected to have a material affect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. |
|
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Some of the provisions of SFAS No. 150 are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements." The remaining provisions of SFAS No. 150 incorporate the FASB's intention to revise the definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. SFAS No. 150 concludes the first phase of the FASB's redeliberations of the Exposure Draft, "Accounting for Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Liabilities, Equity, or Both." SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. In management's opinion, adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. |

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
|
The Company conducts all of its transactions, including those with foreign suppliers and customers, in U.S. dollars. It is therefore not directly subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations and does not hedge or otherwise deal in currency instruments in an attempt to minimize such risks. Of course, demand from foreign customers and the ability or willingness of foreign suppliers to perform their obligations to the Company may be affected by the relative change in value of such customer or supplier's domestic currency to the value of the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar may change the price of the Company's prices relative to the prices of its foreign competitors. The Company also does not hold any market risk sensitive instruments that are not considered cash under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of June 29, 2003, the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2003 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
|
Item 1. Legal Proceedings |
|
From time to time, the Company receives demands from various parties asserting patent claims. These demands are often not based on any specific knowledge of the Company's products or operations. Because of the uncertainties inherent in litigation, the outcome of any such claim, including simply the cost of a successful defense against such a claim, could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
In September 2002, the Company was contacted by Syndia Corporation, the owner of certain patents of which Mr. Jerome Lemelson is a named inventor (Syndia patents). Syndia has not filed suit, but has urged the Company to enter into a licensing agreement with Syndia in order to avoid litigation. The Company understands a similar demand has been made upon other manufacturers of integrated circuits. In addition, on June 20, 2003, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC), a supplier of wafers to the Company, filed a claim against Syndia for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability of the Syndia patents. Further, TSMC claims intentional interference with contractual relations, unfair business practices, and unfair competition arising from Syndia's bad-faith allegations that TSMC and TSMC's customers infringe the Syndia patents.
Should Syndia file suit, the Company would vigorously defend itself in this matter. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of this action could be unfavorable, in which event, the Company might be required to pay damages and other expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In addition, the Company could be required to alter certain of its production processes or products as a result of this matter. |
