NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preceding interim consolidated condensed financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair and accurate presentation of
financial position at January 31, 1995 and the results of operations for the
three and six month periods then ended. These interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's July 31, 1994 audited
financial statements included in its Proxy Statement for the 1994 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
those to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Maxwell
Laboratories, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary, PurePulse
Technologies, Inc. (formerly Foodco Corporation). All significant
intercompany transactions and account balances are eliminated in
consolidation.
In January 1991, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, or
DTSC, notified the Company that it had been identified as one of a number
of "potentially responsible parties" with respect to alleged hazardous
substances released into the environment at a recycling facility in San
Diego County. Although the Company was not involved in the transport or
disposal of the substances, Maxwell remains a potentially responsible party
under California and Federal "Superfund" laws. In 1992, the Company and
approximately 40 other potentially responsible parties signed a consent
order which had been negotiated with the DTSC, agreeing to pay $4 million
of the $7.9 million response costs previously incurred, and to pay for
certain future site investigations and interim response actions outlined in
the consent order. The currently estimated cost of such activities is $9.1
million, and the Company's share of the cost, as allocated by the parties to
the consent order, is currently estimated at approximately 7.0%. The
eventual cost of all removal and remediation activities, for which the
Company and the other potentially responsible parties will share in
additional reimbursements to the State, is currently estimated to be in the
range of $15 - $20 million. On the basis of amounts accrued by the
Company, it is management's opinion that any additional liability resulting
from this situation will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements. There have been no material developments on this
matter since the date of issuance of the Company's audited financial
statements for the year ended July 31, 1994.
Backlog of unfilled orders at January 31, 1995 was $82.1 million, of which
$36.5 million is fully funded.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1995 were $17,630,000, a 12%
decrease compared to the $20,142,000 for the same period one year ago.
Six-month sales were $35,548,000, a 13% decrease compared to the
$40,735,000 for last year's first six months. These decreases occurred in
the Company's technology programs and services (TPS) business segment.
Sales of commercial, industrial and scientific products (CIS) increased
slightly, as described in the paragraphs below.
CIS sales for the second quarter were $10,356,000, an increase of
approximately $300,000, or 3%, compared to last year's second quarter.
Six-month CIS sales were $19,214,000, an increase of approximately $700,000, or
4%, compared to the same period last year. Masking larger increases at several
of the operations is the wind-down of work and delivery to the customer of a
large, turnkey capacitor bank system which substantially boosted CIS sales
during most of fiscal 1994, including last year's first six months. The
Company does not have a similar large project in the first six months of this
fiscal year. For both the second quarter and the six-month period, the
increase in CIS revenues is primarily the result of increased sales of I-Bus
division PC-based computers and components. The PurePulse Technologies
subsidiary and the new networked information solutions group at S-Cubed also
made contributions to the increase for both periods. While these are positive
results compared to the prior year, it should be noted when making such
comparisons that fluctuations upward or downward occur from time to time in
several of the Company's product groups.
TPS sales for the second quarter were $7,274,000, a decrease of
approximately $2,900,000, or 28%, compared to the prior year. Six-month TPS
sales were $16,334,000, a decrease of approximately $5,900,000, or 27%,
compared to last year's six-month period. Continuing declines in the Company's
Defense business base are still negatively impacting the Balboa and S-Cubed
divisions. In addition, at Balboa, several large technology system programs
substantially completed in the prior year have not been replaced with similarly
sized additional projects. Also, at S-Cubed, a large multi-year defense R & D
contract began to wind down in the last half of the prior year. While a
follow-on contract was awarded to S-Cubed, funding for follow-on work is just
now being received at levels comparable to the first half of last year.
Cost of sales for the second quarter was $13,046,000 or 74.0% of sales, as
compared to $15,817,000 or 78.5% of sales for the same period last year.
For the six-months, cost of sales was $25,992,000, or 73.1% of sales, as
compared to the prior year's $32,089,000, or 78.8% of sales. Overall, a
reduction in overhead costs, primarily attributable to cost reduction measures
taken in the last half of fiscal 1994, contributed to the decrease in the cost
of sales percentage. CIS cost of sales as a percent of sales for both the
quarter and year-to-date were lower due to improved margins on systems and
changes in the product mix, primarily from greater sales volume at the I-Bus
operation. The TPS cost of sales percentage for both the quarter and
year-to-date was greater last year primarily as a result of the greater
activity in fiscal 1994 on the previously mentioned S-Cubed defense R & D
contract, which has lower than typical profit margins.
Research and development expenses were $936,000 for the second quarter,
compared to $1,318,000 for last year's second quarter. For the six months
these expenses were $2,290,000 as compared to $2,390,000 for the same
period last year. These decreases are primarily attributable to the overall
decrease in Defense-related proposal requests in the Balboa and S-Cubed
divisions. Partially offsetting such decreases are the increased expenditures
at the S-Cubed division for commercialization efforts with respect to
technologies and software know-how originally developed for Defense
applications.

PART I - continued
Selling, administrative and general expenses in the second quarter were
$3,371,000, or 19.1% of sales, compared to $3,331,000, or 16.5% of sales,
in the prior year's second quarter. For the six months, these expenses were
$6,560,000, or 18.5% of sales, compared to $6,782,000, or 16.6% of sales,
one year ago. Aggressive marketing efforts for commercial products at the
PurePulse subsidiary, and I-Bus and Business Systems divisions, maintained the
expenditures for these costs at the same dollar levels as 1994. The increase
in selling, administrative and general expenses as a percentage of sales is
primarily attributable to the sales decline discussed in the TPS paragraph,
above.
Other-net for the three and six months ended January 31, 1995 was income of
$98,000 and $183,000, respectively, compared to $233,000 and $396,000 for the
comparable periods last year. These decreases reflect the additional interest
expense on the $2.5 million term bank loan obtained in the third quarter of
last year to finance construction of building improvements for a new chemical
analytical services laboratory in a Company-owned facility and to make general
improvements to other owned facilities.
As a result of the above factors, net income for the three months ended
January 31, 1995 was $237,000, as compared to a net loss of $694,000 for the
same period one year ago. For the six months, the current year income of
$560,000 compares to a net loss of $683,000 in the prior year. In January of
1994, the Company recorded a pre-tax write-off of $1,018,000 to recognize the
costs of terminating the Brobeck division and its operations, which contributed
substantially to the second quarter and year-to-date losses last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.6 to 1 at January
31, 1995, compared to 2.3 to 1 at the end of fiscal year 1994. Management
believes that funds on hand and those generated by future operations and
available through its bank line of credit of $7.5 million will be sufficient
to finance working capital and currently projected capital expenditure
requirements.
