Note C - Contingent Matters
The Company is a co-defendant or is a defendant in various lawsuits wherein any
potential liability is fully insured against. The Company provides for cost
related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably
determinable. In the opinion of management, based on advice of counsel, the
ultimate resolution of any contingencies, to the extent not previously provided
for, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company. However, depending on the amount and
timing of an unfavorable resolution of these contingencies, it is possible that
the Company's future results of operation or cash flows could be materially
affected in a particular quarter.
Part 1, Item 2.
Management's' Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations:
Revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1998 of
$23,016,000 and $58,586,000 represent increases of $4,784,000 or 26% and
$3,646,000 or 7% respectively over those in the comparable periods ended
December 31, 1997. The increases are due primarily to phase-in of the LTLCS
Digital Switch Support contract as previously reported.
Total operating costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues were 95% and 99%
for the third quarter and 96% and 99% for the nine months of FY 1999 and FY 1998
respectively. General & Administrative expense was 6.7% for both of the nine
month periods of FY 1999 and FY 1998. These percentages reflect the absorption
of indirect costs by the Company's expanding contract base during the third
quarter of 1999. As previously reported, these percentages at September 30,
1998 were 7% and 6% respectively. Now that anticipated contracts and orders
have been awarded, the second half net income is expected to grow at a higher
rate than revenue as indirect costs should increase only slightly.
Compared to FY 1998, interest expense for the third quarter and nine months of
FY 1999 decreased from 2.1% to 1.7% and 2.2% to 1.8% of revenue respectively.
In addition to normal operating income, the Company reported two separate events
occurring during the quarter ended December 31, 1997 which affected income. The
sale of its office complex in Alexandria, Virginia for $5,250,000 resulted in
other income of $1,490,000 of which $714,000 will be amortized over the 12 year
lease-back of its headquarters building. Under FASB 121, the Company also
evaluated the carrying value of its assets based on certain operational changes
resulting in an inventory disposal program where value for unused but useful
items will be realized. This program resulted in additional operating expense
charges of $600,000 in the quarter.
Financial Condition
The financial condition of the Company remains steady with working capital of
$24,981,000 and a current ration of 2.7:1.0
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Net cash outflows from operations were $2,806,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 as compared with net cash outflows of $354,000 in the
comparable period of FY 1998. In the FY 1998 third quarter, the net proceeds
from the office-complex sale were used to retire mortgage debt of $2,454,000 and
pay down operating lines-of-credit. Long-term debt financed these December 31,
1998 operating cash outflows. At December 31, 1998, the Company's Long-term
debt increased by 3,720,000 over March 31, 1998. The Company expects
that cash generated from operations and the Company's line of credit will be
sufficient to meet its normal operating and dividend requirements in the
immediate future. During the fiscal quarter, the Company issued $2,000,000 of
subordinated debentures to Research Industries, Inc. to serve as working
capital bridge loans while the Company pursued junior capital financing.
The due date of these debentures is April 1, 2000.
