Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
----------------------------------------------------
1. Management Statement
--------------------
The financial statements as reported in Form 10-Q reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly the financial position as of December 31, 1995 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and
January 1, 1995. All adjustments made to the interim financial statements
were of a normal recurring nature.
The Company followed the same accounting policies in the preparation of
this interim financial statement as described in the Company's annual filing
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995, and this filing should be read
in conjunction with that annual report.
2. Income Per Share
----------------
In the second quarter and first six months of this year, the income per
share computations are based on the weighted average number of common and
common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods.
3. Other Income
------------
Other income in the current year is comprised entirely of items of
miscellaneous nature, while last year's figures included fees associated with
licensing agreements.
4. Joint Venture
-------------
In May 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to establish a
limited liability company in the form of a joint venture in the People's
Republic of China. The Company owns 50.1% of the Joint Venture. The Joint
Venture commenced operations September 1, 1995. Due to its relative
insignificance, as well as time concerns regarding the availability of all
necessary financial data, the Company intends to report the financial results
of this venture on a three month time lag. Therefore, only the results for
the month of September 1995 are included within this filing.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Operations
- ----------
Net sales in the second quarter of the current fiscal year were
$11,684,568, an increase of approximately 18% from the sales of $9,882,289
reported for the same quarter last year. For the first six months of the
year, sales totaled $23,295,978 versus $19,299,635 for the comparable period
last year, an increase of about 21%. The primary factors contributing to the
increase in shipments involved a major multiyear program in the Flexible
Circuit Products Division and an increase in sales in the Laminated Cable
Division.
Sales are recognized upon shipment.
The cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was 87% in the
current quarter versus 81% for the comparable quarter last year. The increase
in the cost of sales percentage is related entirely to a major contract in the
Flexible Circuit Products Division. This contract involves the use of very
thin materials involving new technology, new equipment, and special handling
requirements. Although the Company has overcome a number of technical issues,
some still remain. Because of these technical issues, yields, although
significantly improved, are still not at a satisfactory level. Management and
technical personnel continue to focus on improving these yields. Additionally,
we are working closely with our customer in an effort to correct the
situation. For the first six months, the cost of sales percentage was 88%
versus 81% last year. Other than the fact that the first quarter included
additional costs associated with the rapid buildup in shipments of the large
multiyear contract, all other factors contributing to the increase were the
same as previously noted above.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
was 11% in both the second quarter and first six months this year. This
compares to 12% in both the second quarter and first six months last year.
The improvement was a result of the Company's ability to generate additional
sales without incurring a commensurate increase in expenses.
Interest expense was $83,596 this quarter as compared to $35,526 last
year. For the first six months, interest expense was $153,218 as compared to
$57,772 last year. Although the Company was able to generate positive cash
flow from operating activities, the Company borrowed money to facilitate its
growth through the purchase of equipment, as well as to finance a portion of
its investment in a Chinese Joint Venture (of which the Company owns 50.1%)
that commenced operations September 1, 1995. These additional borrowings are
responsible for the increase in interest expense.
Other income this quarter was $22,088 versus $96,850 last year. For the
first six months, other income totaled $66,540 versus $113,301 for the same
period last year. Other income this year is comprised entirely of items of a
miscellaneous nature, while last year's totals included fees associated with a
licensing agreement.
The above factors resulted in income before income taxes of $147,363 and
$186,136 for the second quarter and first six months this year, respectively.
This compares to income before income taxes of $786,728 in the second quarter
and $1,405,370 for the first six months last year.
The Company's effective tax rate was 41% in the second quarter and 40%
for the first six months this year. This compares to 40% for both the second
quarter and first six months last year.
The net income for the quarter, as a result of the above factors, was
$90,553 versus $471,978 last year. For the first six months this year, the
net income was $114,626 as compared to $844,820 last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
In December 1995, the Company negotiated a new revolver loan agreement
whereby the Company increased its unsecured line of credit from $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000. The Company increased its line in anticipation of continued
growth. These monies will be used primarily to finance its additional working
capital needs, additional requirements associated with Parlex (Shanghai)
Circuit Company, Ltd., the Chinese Joint Venture (of which Parlex Corporation
owns 50.1%) that commenced operations September 1, 1995, and additional
capital expenditure needs. The agreement extends to December 1997, at which
time the loan would either convert to a three year term or the revolver loan
agreement would be renegotiated.
With the positive cash flow expected to be generated internally,
together with the increased line of credit, the Company believes it is now in
a secure financial position to accommodate its future cash requirements.
