(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
1. OWNERSHIP AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORBIT/FR, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware on
December 9, 1996, as a subsidiary of Orbit-Alchut Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli
publicly traded corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Parent"). The
Company develops, markets, and supports sophisticated automated microwave test
and measurement systems for the wireless communications, satellite, automotive,
and aerospace/defense industries. The Company supports its world wide customers
through its subsidiaries ORBIT/FR Engineering, LTD (hereinafter referred to as
"Engineering", Israel), ORBIT/FR Europe, (Germany), Advanced Electromagnetics,
Inc. ("AEMI", San Diego, CA), and Orbit Advanced Technologies, Inc. and Flam and
Russell, Inc, (Horsham, PA). The Company sells its products to customers
throughout Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 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 footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1999. The consolidated financial statements and
footnotes should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Form
10-Q and the Company's Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the period ended December 31,
1998, filed on March 31, 1999 and April 30, 1999 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which included the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive
effect of stock options. The dilutive effect of stock options was not assumed
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 because the assumed effect of
these securities would be antidilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder), including without limitation,
statements as to the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity and capital resources and statements as to management's beliefs,
expectations or options. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors which may cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Certain of these risks, uncertainties and other factors, as and when applicable,
are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission including its most recent Registration Statement on Form S-1, and in
its most recent Annual Report on Form 10 K, as amended, a copy of which may be
obtained from the Company upon request and without charge (except for the
exhibits thereto).
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth certain financial data as a percentage
of revenues for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998.
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $2.8
million compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, a
decrease of approximately $931,000 or 24.8%. Although revenues from the
aerospace/defense and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) markets increased
approximately $705,000 and $133,000 respectively, revenues from the satellite
and wireless markets declined approximately $1.2 million and $580,000,
respectively. Geographically, revenues from the U.S. and Asia during the three
months ended June 30,1999 remained relatively constant with the three months
ended June 30, 1998, while European revenues fell approximately $1.0 million
from prior year levels. The licensing restrictions imposed on the Company by the
U.S. State Department in 1998 caused many delays on existing European contracts.
In addition the Company believes that new foreign orders were also impacted,
leading to the revenue declines.
11
<PAGE> 12
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30,
1999 were $2.4 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998. Gross margins however fell to 14.0% for the three months ended June
30, 1999 from 35.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This decrease is
primarily due to losses resulting from delays and uncertainties on certain
exports related to licensing and other related charges combined with an overall
revenue decline associated with the same.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $604,000 compared to
$566,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of approximately
$38,000 or 6.7%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative
expenses increased to 21.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from 15.1%
for the three months ended June 30, 1998. An increase in costs associated with
export administration accounted for a portion of this increase.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 were $469,000 compared to $423,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of approximately $46,000 or 10.9%.
As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 16.7% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase from 11.3% for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. Much of the increase relates to investments made in
customer service functions.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $132,000 compared to $377,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $245,000 or 65.0% due mainly
to reduced customer funded research and development projects.
Other charges. Other charges for the three months ended June 30, 1999
were $0 compared to $345,000 in expense for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The expense in the prior year represented costs associated with the
Company's internal investigation over the US Customs matter and expenses from
the acquisition of RDL, Inc. which did not occur. These expenses were fully
reserved by the Company at December 31, 1998.
Other income. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
approximately $107,000 in income compared to $147,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998. This decrease reflects a reduction in the Company's cash balances
available for investment.
Income taxes. Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30,
1999 was $246,000 compared to $78,000 of benefit for the three months ended June
30, 1998, an increase in benefit of $168,000. The Company's effective tax rate
remained at 35% for both periods.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998.
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $5.6
million compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, a
decrease of approximately $2.5 million or 30.2%. Although revenues from the
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and automotive markets increased
approximately $571,000 and $116,000 respectively, revenues from the satellite,
wireless and aerospace/defense markets declined approximately $1.6 million, $1.1
million and $451,000, respectively. Geographically, revenues from the U.S. and
Asia during the six months ended June 30,1999 remained relatively constant with
the six months ended June 30, 1998, while European revenues fell approximately
$2.5 million from prior year levels. The licensing restrictions imposed on the
Company by the U.S. State Department in 1998 caused many delays on existing
European contracts. In addition the Company believes that new foreign orders
were also impacted, leading to the revenue declines.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30,
1999 were $5.1 million compared to $4.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998. Gross margins fell to 8.9% for the six
12
<PAGE> 13
months ended June 30, 1999 from 41.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
This decrease is primarily due to losses resulting from delays and uncertainties
on certain exports related to licensing and other related charges combined with
an overall revenue decline associated with the same.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $1,281,000 compared to
$1,056,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of approximately
$225,000 or 21.3%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative
expenses increased to 22.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 13.1%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Legal expenses accounted for a portion
of this increase along with an increase in costs associated with export
administration.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 were $947,000 compared to $947,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses
were 16.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase from 11.7% for
the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $231,000 compared to $678,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $447,000 or 65.9% due mainly
to reduced customer funded research and development projects.
Other charges. Other charges for the six months ended June 30, 1999
were $0 compared to $345,000 in expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
The expense in the prior year represented costs associated with the Company's
internal investigation over the US Customs matter and expenses from the
acquisition of RDL, Inc. which did not occur. These expenses were fully reserved
by the Company at December 31, 1998.
Other income. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
approximately $201,000 in income compared to $318,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998. This decrease reflects a reduction in the Company's cash balances
available for investment.
Income taxes. Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $615,000 compared to a $209,000 expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998, a decrease $824,000. The Company's effective tax rate remained at 35% for
both periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, the Company has satisfied its working capital
requirements through cash flows from its operations. At June 30, 1999, the Note
Payable to Parent of $2,722,000 represented a non-interest bearing promissory
note owed by ORBIT/FR Engineering, Ltd., the Company's Israeli subsidiary to
Orbit-Alchut Technologies, Ltd., the majority shareholder of the Company for the
transfer by the Parent of working capital at the end of 1996. This note is due
in December 1999.
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June
30, 1999 amounted to $190,000 compared to $1,223,000 used in operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. The most significant changes in net cash used in
operating activities resulted from the Company posting a $1.1 million net loss
during the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a $389,000 net profit
during the six months ended June 30, 1998, offset mainly by improved billings in
the quarter.
During 1999, the Company plans to incur capital expenditures of
approximately $500,000, ($331,000 in 1998) a portion of which will be used to
improve the Company's hardware and software tools, and by investing in
information systems for the Company and its subsidiaries.
13
<PAGE> 14
The Company has exposure to currency fluctuations as a result of
billing certain of its contracts in foreign currency. When selling to customers
in countries with less stable currencies, the Company bills in U.S. dollars. For
the six months ended June 30, 1999, all of the Company's revenues were billed in
U.S. dollars. Substantially all of the costs of the Company's contracts,
including costs subcontracted to the Parent, have been, and will continue to be,
U.S. dollar-denominated except for wages for employees of the Company's Israeli
and German subsidiaries, which are denominated in local currency. The Company
intends to continue to enter into U.S. dollar-denominated contracts.
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
The Company does not believe that inflation or seasonality has had a
significant effect on the Company's operations to date.
IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
Some of the Company's older computer systems were written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those
computer programs have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could cause a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities.
The Company has completed an assessment and will have to modify or
replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function
properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The total year
2000 project cost is estimated to be less than $50,000 which includes up to
$20,000 for the purchase of new software that will be capitalized and $30,000
that will be expensed as incurred. To date, the Company has incurred and
expensed approximately $10,000 primarily for the assessment of the year 2000
issue and the development of a modification plan for the purchase of new
software. The project is estimated to be completed no later than September 30,
1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The
Company believes that due to its planned modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications
and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the year 2000 issue
could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
The Company believes that all of its products are year 2000 compliant.
The last of its products, the FR959 Antenna & RCS Measurement System Software
and its FR944 Digital Pattern Recorder Software were completed in the quarter
ended June 30, 1999.
The Company has assessed the Year 2000 risks as necessary. The Company
has also evaluated the status of completion of its year 2000 efforts as of June,
1999 and determined that contingency plans are not necessary. The Company is in
the process of a simple systems upgrade for its internal software systems which
it believes will be complete as of September, 1999. In addition, key suppliers
were surveyed to determine the extent to which the systems of such suppliers are
year 2000 compliant, and the extent to which the Company could be affected by
the failure of such third parties to be year 2000 compliant. At this time the
Company has estimated that the impact of the failure of such third parties to be
year 2000 compliant is not a risk. In the normal course of business, the Company
has contingency plans for disruption of business events and still intends to
augment those plans with specific Year 2000 considerations.
The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it
will complete the year 2000 modifications are based on management's best
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events,
including the continued availability of certain resources and other factors.
However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ
14
<PAGE> 15
materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such
material differences include, but are not limited to the availability and cost
of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all
relevant computer codes, and other similar uncertainties.
