Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Electromagnetic Sciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, EMS
Technologies, Inc., 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 Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
(2) Earnings per Share
In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which established new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share is the per
share allocation of income available to common stockholders based only on the
weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share represents the per share allocation of
income attributable to common stockholders based on the weighted average number
of common shares actually outstanding plus all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding during the period. All dilutive potential common shares relate to
the Company's stock option plan.
(3) Comprehensive Income
Beginning in fiscal 1998, the Company has adopted SFAS 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components. Under SFAS 130, all items
that are recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income must be reported in the financial statements. The only element of
comprehensive income that is applicable to the Company is the change in the
foreign currency translation adjustment. Following is a summary of
comprehensive income (in thousands):

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Consolidated net sales for the first quarter were $42.7 million in 1998,
compared with $39.6 million in 1997. Most of this revenue growth came from
the Company's wireless products segment and, in particular, from increased
sales of infrastructure products for PCS/cellular communications.
Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 64% for the first quarter of
1998, compared with 66% in 1997. This decrease resulted from comparatively
higher sales of certain products within the wireless products segment
(specifically, wireless infrastructure products for PCS/cellular
communications) and within the space and technology segment (specifically,
airborne SATCOM antenna systems).
Selling, general and administrative expenses were greater in 1998 than in
1997 in absolute dollars, but remained at 22% of net sales in both 1998 and
1997.
The increase in research and development expenses related to the enhancement
of the Company's wireless products lines and the development of new
capabilities in the space and technology segment. These expenses represent
the cost of the Company's internally funded efforts. In the Company's space
and technology segment, significant research and development effort also
occurs under many specific customer orders and, accordingly, is reflected in
cost of sales.
Other non-operating income for the first quarter of 1998 included a gain on
the sale of investment securities, compared with a net non-operating expense
in 1997 that resulted mainly from foreign currency losses associated with
subsidiary operations in Europe. Interest expense increased in 1998 compared
with 1997 due to a higher level of borrowing.
The effective income tax rate for 1998 was 38%, compared with 40% for fiscal
1997, due mainly to utilization of a previously reserved capital loss
carryforward. Management expects that the tax rate for the remainder of
fiscal 1998 will be comparable with the rate for the preceding fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity and capital resources were affected during 1998 by a
reduction of accounts payable due to the timing of payment of vendor
invoices, as well as an inventory increase, a major portion of which related
to materials purchased to support anticipated orders that were not received
until after the quarter end. As a result, the Company's borrowing increased
during the first quarter of 1998. For the remaining nine months of 1998, the
Company expects to generate positive cash flow before financing activities.
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 near-term capital investment plans, but management
expects that additional sources of liquidity will be needed over the next few
years if sales and production levels continue to grow at rates similar to
those of the past two years.
Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements
- -------------------------------------------
Forward looking statements with respect to expected cash flows and tax rates
are included in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations. Actual results could differ materially from those
suggested in any forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of
factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability
to achieve product development and manufacturing objectives within the cost
and timing parameters created by customers and end-users, the timeliness of
orders and payments from customers, the availability of funding fo major new
space programs, and the strength and timing of end-user acceptance of new
communications services, such as high-data-rate mobile services.
