been added to the total common shares used in computing the net earnings
per share.
**Each Warrant may be exchanged for one share of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $6.00. In view of the large difference between the
current market value of the stock and the exercise price, these shares
have not been added to the total common shares used in computing the
net earnings per share.
Fully diluted earnings per share, assuming conversion of Series A and
Series B Preferred Stock, has not been reflected as the effect would be
anti-dilutive or not material.
NOTE 2-LONG-TERM DEBT
On August 16, 1995, the Bank exchanged debt obligations for (a)
$ 250,000 cash; (b) $1,025,000 Five-year term loan and (c) 375,000
shares of Common Stock.
The five-year term loan of $1,025,000 bears interest at the Bank's
refinance rate, plus 1 1/4% to be amortized as follows:
eight (8) quarterly payments of $12,500, beginning October 1995
through July 1997;
- - eight (8) quarterly payments of $25,000, beginning October 1997
through July 1999;
three (3) quarterly payments of $28,125, beginning October 1999 and
ending April 2000;
- - a balloon payment of $640,625, due July 2000.
As a result of the above transaction, the Company realized a $1,232,728
gain on debt compromise. In addition, the Bank released the existing
guarantees of Messrs. Benou and Havasy on the Closing Date.
At October 31, 1996, the Company was in default with the Bank. The
Company negotiated with the Bank to convert the total bank debt to
equity in September.
On September 11, 1996, the Company entered into an Allonge agreement
with the bank whereby the bank may at any time before April 15, 1997
convert the then unpaid amount of principal and interest due under the
Amended and Restated Term Note dated as of August 2, 1995 in the
original principal amount of $1,025,000 into 1,400,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Notes Shares"). The outstanding balance of
the note and unpaid interest as of October 31, 1996 was $1,094,286.
On September 12, 1996 the bank entered into an Option and Purchase, Sale
and Assignment Agreement (the "Option Agreement") with CNL Holdings,
Inc. (CNL) whereby the bank would sell the Note Shares referred to
above, along with the 375,000 shares of the Company it currently owns
(the "Bank Shares") for $1,500,000 to CNL.
On September 12, 1996 CNL entered into an agreement with the Company
whereby the Company would use its best efforts to file a Registration
Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the
375,000 Bank Shares and the 1,400,000 Note Shares (collectively the
"Acquired Shares"). The proceeds of the sales of the Acquired Shares
shall be applied as follows: The first $1,500,000 will be retained by
CNL to cover their cost for the transaction. Of the proceeds from
additional stock sales by CNL, CNL will loan 50% of such proceeds to the
Company up to $2,500,000. Any additional proceeds will be retained by CNL.
The amounts loaned by CNL to the Company shall be evidenced by notes which
shall be due twelve months after making such loan and shall bear interest
at the rate of 4% per annum. At maturity, the Company will have the option
to repay the loan balance and accrued interest by issuing a new Series C
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") valued at $5.00 per share. The
Preferred Stock will be non-voting and will carry a cumulative dividend
of 8% per annum, which may be payable by the issuance of shares of
common stock valued at $5.00 per share up to a maximum of 40,000 shares
per annum.

NOTE 4-TAXES
At October 31, 1996 the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $2,968,000 for financial reporting purposes and
approximately $3,025,000 for tax purposes which is available to offset
future Federal taxable income. For Federal purposes, $490,000 of the
carryforward expires in 2003, $346,000 expires in 2008, $1,232,000
expires in 2009 and $957,000 expires in 2010. For State purposes the
carryforward is approximately $2,187,000; $57,000 expires in 2000,
$1,232,000 expires in 2001 and $898,000 expires in 2002. Also, at
October 31, 1996 the Company has unused tax credits available of
approximately $103,300 of which $12,100 expires in 2000, $26,300 in
2001, and $64,900 in 2002.
Taxable income differs from financial statement income due to the effect
of non-deductible permanent tax differences. These permanent tax
differences include officer's life insurance premiums & non-deductible
entertainment expenses.
At October 31, 1996 no deferred income taxes have been provided for per
SFAS No 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes since management estimated
that temporary differences due to operating losses & tax credit carry
forwards will not be absorbed by future taxable income.
ITEM 2 -Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
A summary of income, costs and expenses for the current quarter and
corresponding quarter of the previous year follows:
FOR THE QUARTER
ENDED OCTOBER 31,
1996 1995
Revenues $ 418,734 $ 680,401
Costs and Expenses 461,981 676,372
Extraordinary Income, Net of Tax 740,376
Benefit
Net Income/(Loss) after Taxes $( 43,247) $ 744,405
Revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 1996 totaled $418,734,
representing a decrease of $261,667 from $680,401 reported for the
same quarter a year ago. Revenues declined largely to a delay in
releases against the Company's backlog, specifically the orders from two
of the largest commercial customers of the Company, Bonneville Power
Administration and BC Hydro.
Gross margins for the quarter totaled $159,463 representing 38.0% of
revenues as compared to $227,707 representing 33.4% of revenues for the
three month period ended October 31, 1995. The increase in the gross
margins for the quarter is attributable to military sales during the
quarter. Such sales had zero cost basis due to previous write-off of
military inventory.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $192,443 to
$177,034, representing a decrease of $15,049 for the quarter of 1996 as
compared to 1995, due to fewer sales with commission.
Interest expense decreased from $31,135 to $25,676 or $5,459 for the
quarter ended October 31, 1996 over the same quarter of 1995.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net loss of
$43,247, or $(.04) per share for the quarter compared to a net income of
$744,405 or $ .72 per share, inclusive of an extraordinary gain of
$740,376 ( net of tax benefit of $492,352 ).
Liquidity and Financial Condition
On August 16, 1995, the Company offered 235,750 Units (the Units) at a
price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of two (2) shares of
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (Common Stock), and one (1)
Redeemable Class A Warrant for Common Stock (Class A Warrant). The
Common Stock and Class A Warrant are detachable and trade separately.
Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the
Company's Common Stock, at an exercise price of $6.00, subject to
adjustment, from August 17, 1996 through August 16, 1998. The Class A
Warrants (the Warrants) are subject to redemption by the Company at
anytime after August 17, 1996 on not less than 30 days notice at $.05
per warrant, provided the average closing price of the Common Stock for
20 consecutive trading days ending within 15 days prior to the notice
exceeds $7.20 per share.
The proceeds of the offering were $1,853,025, net of offering costs.
On October 31, 1996, the Company was in default of its loan agreement.
A private investment group has negotiated with the bank to purchase the
common shares held by the Bank and the remaining balance of the term loan
in the amount of $1,094,286 at October 31, 1996, which the Bank may convert
to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Allonge. During
September, 1996,the investor group made a $150,000 payment to the Bank
to purchase an Option for the Bank Shares and the Note Shares.
( SEE NOTES ON LONG-TERM DEBT ).
Working Capital at October 31, 1996 was $1,892,682 compared to
$1,914,981 at July 31, 1996.
Management Representation
