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, 1995.
(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. For purposes
of calculating primary earnings per share, the Company's proportionate
share of net earnings of LXE Inc. is 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) Purchase of LXE Inc. Common Stock
On February 11, 1996, the Company increased its ownership of LXE
Inc. from 72% to 81% by purchasing 548,000 shares of the common stock of
LXE Inc. in a private transaction. The purchase price was paid with a
combination of $500,000 of cash and 457,000 newly issued shares of the
Company's common stock. Goodwill, to be amortized over 25 years, was
recognized to the extent that the purchase price of the LXE stock
exceeded the fair value of the additional net assets acquired. The
greater level of ownership will increase the Company's participation in
LXE's future operating results and will enable the Company to consolidate
LXE for corporate income tax purposes.
(4) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company intends to comply with
the provisions of SFAS 123 in fiscal 1996 by continuing to recognize
compensation cost from stock options under the "intrinsic value" method,
with additional footnote disclosures to be provided, including the pro
forma effects of applying the "fair value" method of SFAS 123. Based
upon this accounting policy, the Company does not expect to recognize any
compensation cost associated with stock options granted in 1996.
(5) Proposed Exchange Offer
On October 3, 1996, the Company announced a proposal to offer .75
shares of its common stock, $.10 par value, in exchange for each
outstanding share of the common stock, $.01 par value, of LXE (Nasdaq -
LXEI). The proposed offering would be open to all holders of the
approximately 1,030,000 shares held by other investors. The proposed
offering will be made only by means of an Offering Circular/Prospectus
following registration of the offered shares under the Securities Act of
1933. The Company does not expect the registration process to be
completed earlier than November 1996. The purpose of the proposed
offering is to permit the Company to acquire 100% ownership of LXE.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Consolidated sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996
were $38 million and $107 million, respectively, compared with $28
million and $94 million for the same respective periods in 1995. Much of
these increases was the result of revenue growth from the space and other
wireless technology markets served by the Company's advanced
communications business segment. This segment's sales increased to $20
million and $58 million for the third quarter and first nine months of
1996, respectively, compared with $17 million and $49 million for the
same respective periods in 1995. In the Company's wireless logistics
segment, revenues for the third quarter and first nine months were $18
million and $49 million, respectively, compared with $11 million and $45
million for the interim periods ended September 30, 1995. LXE's revenues
from materials handling markets increased in both North American and
international markets; revenues also increased with LXE's entry into the
healthcare information management market.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, did not vary significantly
in 1996 compared with 1995, despite variations in the revenue mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1996 were also comparable
with 1995. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 were higher than for the same period in 1995 as a
result of efforts to expand the LXE product line, to complete development
of the new CALQuest (tm) aeronautical terminal for commercial
satellite-based communications, and to develop other new technologies for
commercial wireless network infrastructure markets.
Interest and other income was reported net of a foreign exchange loss in
the third quarter of 1996 and lower gains for the first nine months of
1996 compared with 1995, resulting from currency fluctuations that
affected the accounting translation of LXE's European subsidiaries'
financial statements into U.S. dollars. Interest expense increased in
1996 as a result of increased borrowing under the Company's revolving
credit agreement. The effective income tax rate for the first nine
months of 1996 was 41%, which was comparable with 38% for the preceding
fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash provided by operations
totaled almost $3 million, but capital purchases exceeded $5 million due
to the Company's continued growth, and the result was a net decrease in
cash and cash equivalents to $4.2 million at September 30, 1996 from $5.8
million at the beginning of the year. Management does not expect to
generate significant positive cash flow in the fourth quarter of 1996;
however, management believes that the Company's present liquidity,
together with cash from operations and sources of external financing,
will support its current business activities and capital investment
plans.
