PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
General
- -------
Technology 80 Inc. ("Registrant") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Minnesota on February 12, 1980. It is
engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing
and selling computer-related products. Registrant's initial
products included STD cards and systems and the Chanalyzer
(trademark); Registrant's product line has since been expanded.
Within Registrant's existing industry segment, manufacturing
technical instruments and systems, there are two principal
classes of products and services: (1) Industrial Control
Products and systems which have now been expanded to include
several industry standard microcomputer bus structures (STD, PC,
Multibus and SBX) and (2) products related to the IBM or FIPS
("Federal Information Processing Standards") mainframe computer
channel. The primary channel product is the Chanalyzer
(trademark), an instrument designed to detect signal errors or
defective transmissions in mainframe computer systems.
The percentages of revenue contributed by the Industrial Control
Products and systems (including contract design, programming and
consulting work) were 99.8, 97.4, and 90.0 percent for the three
fiscal years ended August 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
The percentages of revenue contributed by the channel related
products (including proceeds from rentals) were 0.2, 1.9, and 9.5
percent for the three fiscal years ended August 31, 1996, 1995,
and 1994, respectively.
Total assets at August 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, were $4,897,556,
$4,195,375, and $3,392,471, respectively. All of Registrant's
sales have been to unaffiliated customers.
Registrant maintains inventory levels in its two product lines
consistent with projected sales. Due to increased sales and
expected increases in sales, Registrant has found it necessary to
maintain an increased level of inventories in order to assure
itself of a continuous allotment of parts and materials from its
suppliers and to meet rapid delivery requirements of its
customers.
Registrant warrants the microcomputer interface cards for a
period of two years from date of shipment. Registrant warrants
the channel products for one year from the date of delivery on
most parts; certain parts are warranted for a 90 day period.
There have been very few instances when Registrant was required
to accept the return merchandise which failed to comply with
Registrant's warranty and any such warranty related expenses have
been minimal. Registrant offers factory repair services for both
product lines.
Industrial Control Products
- ---------------------------
Registrant designs, manufactures, and markets industrial control
products with an emphasis on motion control applications. Most of
Registrant's industrial control products fall into the category
of add-in boards for various types of industry standard micro
computers. The original STD product line has been expanded and
now includes a relatively broad product line of micro computer
based boards.
Registrant also offers products which are accessories to the
add-in boards. They consist of software products, interface cables,
servo motor amplifiers, and stepper motor drives. Accessory
products enhance the sales of the main product line by making it
more convenient for the customer to use Registrant's products.
Accessories can also be significant contributors to sales volume,
especially motor drives and amplifiers.
Registrant's products address four categories of industrial
control applications: servo motor control, stepper motor
control, encoder/data acquisition, and industrial input/output.
Most of Registrant's products relate to motion control aspects of
such applications.
Customers
- ---------
Registrant's customers for its industrial control products are
numerous and consist of both OEM and end-user (in-house)
applications. The OEM business is specifically solicited since
it may lead to follow-on sales of significant volume. Prospects
for future sales growth are enhanced by a "layering" effect; OEM
design-ins typically run for several years.
Competition
- -----------
There are a large number of manufacturers of industrial control
products in the U.S. and Canada with some products now appearing
from Europe and the Orient. There are numerous manufacturers
which offer one or more products which compete with one or more
of Registrant's products. Some of Registrant's competitors are
larger, have been in business longer, and are likely to have
greater resources than Registrant. Registrant, based on the most
recent information available, believes that it offers one of the
most complete product lines for the industrial control products
market.
There are two types of competition in Registrant's industrial
control products business. First, there are those products that
are directly competitive with the same functions. Second, there
are those products which enable the user to implement a system in
an alternative fashion to accomplish the same result. This may
be accomplished through use of different functional boards on the
same bus structure but more likely involve an alternative bus
structure. Registrant's broadened line involving various bus
structures lessens this factor. Competition also comes from
customers' in-house special designs.
Registrant believes that the principal competitive factors are
function, availability of the products and, to a lesser extent,
price. Registrant's products are comparable in performance and
capability to those of its competitors. Registrant believes that
its experienced design staff (utilizing its Computer Aided Design
technology) enables it to offer standardized products to meet the
customer's needs with a warranty and price which compare
favorably to competitive alternatives, including the potential
customer's in-house costs.
Channel Related Products
- ------------------------
The primary product in this market area has been the Chanalyzer
(trademark), which is a computerized, analytical, diagnostic,
monitoring and data logging device designed to easily and quickly
detect errors and faults in the transmission of data between a
mainframe computer and equipment connected to the computer and to
assist in determining the sources of such errors and faults.
Since the Chanalyzer (trademark) is presently configured only for
use with the IBM channel and the FIPS channel, which is a federal
specification derived from the IBM specification, the market for
the Chanalyzer (trademark) is limited to manufacturers of
equipment, including IBM Corporation, which utilizes the IBM or
the FIPS channels, those who maintain and repair such equipment,
and end users of such equipment.
The market has introduced faster channel speeds of the current
Bus and Tag architecture, and also new channel designs, such as
the Fiber Optic channel which is not compatible with the
Chanalyzer (trademark) or any of Registrant's channel related
products. As a result, market opportunities for the Chanalyzer
(trademark) have and will continue to decline.
Suppliers
- ---------
All parts for Registrant's products are supplied by third party
vendors. Most of such parts are standard off-the-shelf items
available from several sources. Special fabricated parts made to
Registrant's specifications are producible by several local
vendors. Printed circuit boards, which are a large part of
Registrant's products, are produced by several local vendors, and
additional vendors could be utilized if conditions warranted.
Registrant utilizes the latest state of the art components,
especially in integrated circuits, in its designs. Delivery of
certain new products is sometimes initially delayed due to
shortage of these state of the art devices. Once available,
however, there has been no instance when such integrated circuits
were not available with reasonable lead time. Registrant does
not anticipate any parts supply problems in the foreseeable
future.
Backlog
- -------
Registrant had a backlog of $1,288,792, $525,531 and $387,146 for
its industrial control products at August 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
respectively. There was no backlog for its channel related
products in each of these years.
Employees
- ---------
Registrant had 23 employees as of November 15, 1996, of which 1
was part-time. Registrant is not a party to any collective
bargaining agreement, and Registrant considers its employee
relations to be satisfactory. In view of the small number of
employees, the loss of certain technical and sales personnel
could adversely affect Registrant in the short-term.
Registrant requires, to the extent allowed by Minnesota law, its
employees to assign to Registrant all inventions developed during
their employment by Registrant. Registrant also requires all
employees to enter into an agreement pursuant to which, among
other things, the employee agrees not to divulge confidential or
proprietary information to any competitor and, for a period of
two years following termination of employment with Registrant,
not to compete with Registrant in any subsequent employment.
Registrant has such agreements with all of its present employees.
Such agreements are not binding in the event Registrant is
acquired in a transaction opposed by Registrant's Board of
Directors.
Patents and Licenses
- --------------------
Two patents for the Chanalyzer (trademark) have been granted.
One patent has also been granted for a design in the industrial
control line. Registrant claims copyright protection as to the
artwork and documentation of all of its products, but has not
sought to register any of its copyrights. There can be no
assurance that any existing patents or any future patents will
prevent competitors from producing substantially similar
products. Registrant does not anticipate that any persons will
have an interest in licensing its patents.
Registrant relies less on the protection provided by patents and
copyrights than it does on the technical and creative skills of
its personnel and on its abilities to market and service its
products, to establish its market position for each of its
products, and to improve its products and develop new products to
stay abreast of new technology. It does, however, believe that a
patent portfolio has considerable value in affording Registrant
the means by which it can bargain for technology interchanges
with other patent holders on a favorable basis.
Research and Development
- ------------------------
Registrant has spent $630,626 and $477,700 during the fiscal
years ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, for research
and development of industrial control products. Research and
development costs were 15.0% of revenue for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1996 and 13.0% of revenue for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1995. For the foreseeable future, Registrant expects
research and development costs to remain approximately the same,
as a percentage of revenue, in light of the need for new products
and utilization of new technology to provide the basis for future
revenues.
Research and development opportunities are constantly being
explored by Registrant. If new product opportunities are found
with significant potential market demand, a sharp increase in
research and development expenditures may result as Registrant
engages in efforts to develop and bring such products to market.
Such increased expenditures may have short-term adverse effects
on Registrant's profitability.
Marketing and Sales
- -------------------
Industrial control products are marketed in the United States and
Canada through independent nonexclusive manufacturers'
representatives. Independent manufacturers' representatives
specializing in motion control are the main outlets. Direct
in-house sales to catalog distributors are the next largest sales
distribution method. The Registrant uses a small number of
distributors and system integrators specializing in motion
control products to supplement the efforts of the manufacturers'
representatives.
Registrant employs a national sales manager for direct selling of
the motion control product line and markets its channel related
products in the United States through a direct sales staff.
Registrant has signed agreements with several international
distributors to implement and handle sales and marketing of
Registrant's products in foreign markets.
One customer accounted for 11% of Registrant's revenue for fiscal
year 1996. No one customer accounted for 10% or more of
Registrant's revenue for fiscal year 1995. International sales
accounted for 5.1% and 6.8% of revenue for the years ended 1996
and 1995, respectively. Registrant's business is not seasonal in
nature.
Item 2. Description of Property.
Registrant's facilities are located in a multiple-tenant building
located at 658 Mendelssohn Avenue North, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The portion of the building occupied by Registrant consists of
4,810 square feet for production, warehouse, laboratory, drafting
and engineering plus 3,690 square feet for offices for a total of
8,500 square feet. Registrant leases this space under a lease
expiring September 30, 1997. See note 7 to financial statements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Registrant is presently not a party to any pending legal
proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

to finance the development of its business and, accordingly,
Registrant does not anticipate payment of any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenue increased 14.7% during the fiscal year ended August 31,
1996, over the previous fiscal year. Revenue increased 14.5%
during fiscal year 1995, over the 1994 fiscal year. The
increased revenue in fiscal years 1996 and 1995 resulted from an
increased interest in the Registrant's products which has
expanded the customer base during these fiscal years.
Gross profit was 64.8% for fiscal year 1996 compared to 64.2% for
the fiscal year 1995. The Registrant continues to focus on
manufacturing and purchasing in economical quantities and taking
advantage of available purchase discounts.
Order backlog at the end of fiscal years 1996 and 1995 was
$1,288,792 and $525,531, respectively, all of which were for
industrial control products; channel related products had no
backlog. This backlog was a consequence of the receipt of
purchase orders with delivery scheduled over a period of several
months and may be rescheduled or canceled by the customer. A
large order from one customer at year end accounted for 42% of
the $763,261 increase in the backlog. Industrial control
products are built to a production schedule based on sales
forecasts. Most smaller orders require an immediate shipment
which Registrant is generally able to meet. Almost all sales are
shipped within a short time, generally within days. Customers
often require same day shipment with overnight air delivery.
Selling expenses, as a percentage of revenue, were 16.3% and
17.4% in fiscal 1996, and 1995, respectively. The decrease is a
result of Management's overall cost cutting measures. Management
would consider increasing some expenses, such as trade shows,
advertising, marketing and promotion, if an overall benefit
would be realized.
General and administrative expenses were 15.1% and 13.2% of
revenue for fiscal year 1996 and 1995, respectively. Although
management has continued its cost cutting measures, some
increased expenditures have been necessary to retain quality
employees and keep up with the growth of sales.
Research and development costs, as a percentage of revenue,
increased to 15.0% in fiscal 1996, compared with 13.0% in 1995.
Registrant will continue new product development.
Income from operations resulted in income of $776,363 and
$754,196 for fiscal years 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase in income for 1996 over 1995 was the result of increased
revenues and cost cutting measures offset by increased general
and administrative and research and development expenditures.
Other income for 1996 decreased $20,316 from 1995. This
represents an 8.8% decrease.
Net income for 1996 and 1995, respectively, was $665,355 and
$645,054.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Registrant's balance sheet shows a strong capital position.
Operations provided $680,016 in cash. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased $507,027 from the previous year. The Registrant used
$23,463 to purchase equipment and $1,177,763 to purchase
investments (net of sales and maturities) during the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1996. $11,391 was received as a result of
employees exercising stock options. Inventories increased
$158,950 from the previous year primarily due to increased sales
and the anticipated release of new products during fiscal year
1997. Registrant expects that there will be sufficient capital
to fund its operations during fiscal year 1997.
Registrant has no borrowings and does not anticipate, at this
time, that it will be necessary to seek any debt financing in the
near future for ongoing operations, but may consider some type of
financing for other purposes.
Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation and elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB, in future
filings by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and in the Registrant's press releases and oral
statements made with the approval of authorized executive
officers, if the statements are not historical or current facts,
should be considered "forward-looking statements" made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. Registrant wishes to caution the
reader not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
TECHNOLOGY 80 INC.
Minneapolis, Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TECHNOLOGY 80
INC. as of August 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of TECHNOLOGY 80 INC. as of August 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Nature of Business
------------------
TECHNOLOGY 80 INC. designs, manufactures, and markets motion control
components and systems for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) machine and
instrument builders and end users located worldwide. Products are sold
through direct sales, manufacturers' representatives and distributors.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined on a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
Inventory writedowns are provided, when considered appropriate, based on the
age and anticipated use of the specific inventories and related market
forecast.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. The straight-line method is
used for substantially all assets for financial reporting purposes and
accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.
Investments
-----------
On September 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (SFAS 115). There was no cumulative effect as a result of
adopting SFAS 115.
SFAS 115 establishes three categories of securities. The first category,
held-to-maturity securities, is composed of debt securities which a company
has the positive intent and ability to hold-to-maturity. These securities are
carried at amortized cost. The second category, available-for-sale
securities, may be sold to address the liquidity and other needs of a company.
Debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at
fair value in the balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses reported, net
of tax, as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The third category,
trading securities, is for debt and equity securities acquired for the purpose
of selling them in the near term. The Company has not classified any of its
securities as trading securities.

Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. Common stock
equivalents include the dilutive effect of stock options assumed to have been
exercised.
Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments
----------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued
liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair
value due to their short-term nature.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain reclassifications were made to the 1995 financial statements so as to
present them on a basis comparable with the current year. The
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or retained
earnings.
2. Credit Risk -
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash.
