Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Electromagnetic Sciences, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMS Technologies,
Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiaries, LXE Inc. and CAL Corporation
(collectively, the "Company"). In the opinion of management, the interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for
the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
(2) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common and common equivalent share for the interim periods
were based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and equivalent
shares derived from dilutive stock options (except in loss periods). For
purposes of calculating primary earnings per share, the Company's proportionate
share of the net earnings of LXE Inc. has been adjusted to reflect the dilutive
effect of LXE's outstanding stock options. Fully diluted earnings per share
are not significantly different from the primary earnings per share presented.
(3) Other Assets
In the second quarter of 1995, the Company's LXE subsidiary acquired a
minority ownership in a non-public U.S. company. This investment is valued
using the cost method, and is included in other assets in the accompanying
balance sheet.
(4) Capitalization of Software Costs
In 1995, the Company has capitalized $643,000 of certain costs incurred to
develop software which will be licensed to customers. Capitalized software
costs, which are included in other assets, will be amortized using the greater
of the ratio of current gross revenues for the product to the total of current
and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over three
years.
(5) New Accounting Standard
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which was
issued in March 1995. No adjustments to the carrying value of recorded assets
were required as a result of adopting SFAS 121.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations
The Company reported a net decrease in consolidated revenues for the third
quarter of 1995 compared with the third quarter for 1994. This net decrease
was due to lower sales ($11.3 million in 1995 and $17.0 million in 1994) and
underlying orders activity at LXE from its transition to an expanded product
line of wireless data communication systems that will support DOS, Windows and
client/server networks. The decrease in LXE revenues was partially offset by a
20% increase in third quarter sales ($16.8 million in 1995 compared with $14.0
million in 1994) of advanced antennas and space communications products. For
the first nine months of 1995, all of the increase in consolidated sales
related to advanced antenna and space communications products, which grew to
$48.7 million in 1995 from $39.3 million in 1994. The nine month revenues
from LXE wireless data communications systems were $45.1 million in 1995 and
$45.4 million in 1994.
The Company has undertaken efforts during the expansion of its wireless data
communications product line to stimulate orders for its current products,
including an initiative to encourage customers to upgrade their systems from
the earlier generations of LXE equipment. As a result of this initiative and
other specific orders expected to be received, the LXE subsidiary's orders and
sales activity should increase in the fourth quarter compared with the third
quarter. However, the LXE subsidiary is expected to be significantly less
profitable in the fourth quarter of 1995 than the fourth quarter of 1994; as a
result, the Company's consolidated fourth quarter profitability is also
expected to be lower in 1995 than in 1994.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 69% in the third quarter
of 1995 and 66% in the first nine months of 1995, compared with 63% and 62%,
respectively, in the same periods in 1994. The increases in the 1995 cost of
sales percentage reflect increased distribution of the Company's wireless data
communications products through indirect channels, which generally have a lower
profit margin than direct sales, and a more competitive pricing environment in
that market. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to
expansion of the European sales and marketing efforts for wireless data
communications systems, increased marketing support for the Company's cellular
antenna product line, and additional personnel for management information
systems. Research and development expenses in 1995 also increased to develop
new LXE products with DOS, Windows and client/server capabilities, as well as
antennas, terminals and other products for advanced mobile communications.
Other income for the interim periods has been higher in 1995 compared with
1994 due to currency translation gains associated with the Company's European
operations.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1995 was 37%, compared with
41% for the 1994 fiscal year, primarily as a result of a more favorable tax
position for certain foreign operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents decreased as a result of several factors, mainly the
transition to the expanded line of wireless data communications products and
the associated increase in inventories. In addition, the Company has had
total capital expenditures of $10.2 million for market related investments,
development of product software and the purchase of equipment and internal
software. As a result of the use of cash in the first nine months of the year,
the Company increased its use of available credit facilities with a
commercial bank, with interest at the bank's prime rate.
Management does not expect to generate significant positive cash flow in the
fourth quarter of 1995, however, the Company's sources of cash and financing
are believed to be sufficient to fund current business activities.
