NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
as of February 28, 1995 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended
February 28, 1995 and February 28, 1994 have been prepared on substantially the
same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The
statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, but omit certain information and footnote
disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1994.

</TABLE>
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
Effective September 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for
Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 resulted in a
one-time credit to net income of $1,700, or $0.24 per share for fiscal 1994.
FAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or
income tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, FAS 109 generally
considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the
tax law or rates.
In applying the provisions of FAS 109, management fully reserved net
deferred tax assets that may be realized beyond one year after the balance
sheet date because of the uncertainty regarding their realization. The
resulting reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $300
has been reflected as an increase in the benefit for income taxes.
NOTE 4. ACQUISITION
On November 22, 1994, the Company acquired the 1149 Tester product
line and follow-on in-process technology (the "Product Line") of Micro
Component Technology, Inc. ("MCT"). The assets acquired include substantially
all of the equipment, inventory and intellectual property including the
follow-on in-process technology, and the assumption of certain liabilities
associated with the Product Line. Of the amount paid, $2,000 was placed in
escrow (i) to indemnify the Company in the event of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by MCT in the purchase agreement, (ii) to
secure performance of MCT's obligations under the purchase agreement, and (iii)
to insure against any shortfalls discovered in the equipment or inventory
intended to be acquired through the Company's post-closing audit of the assets
acquired.

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
The acquisition of the Product Line has been accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows of the
Product Line have been included only from the date of acquisition. Excluding
the one-time write-off of in-process technology of $8,837, the results of
operations for the Product Line from the date of acquisition through February
28, 1995 were not material to Megatest's results of operations for the
six-month period ended February 28, 1995. The total purchase price of the
acquisition was as follows:

Cash paid to MCT $ 12,800
Other acquisition costs 1,097
---------
$ 13,897

</TABLE>
The allocation of the Company's purchase price to the tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on
preliminary estimates from information currently available. A final allocation
of the purchase price will be determined during the year when appraisals and
other studies are completed. The preliminary purchase price allocation is
summarized as follows:

--------
Liabilities assumed 2,100
--------
Net assets acquired $ 13,897
========
</TABLE>
The in-process technology was charged to income during the quarter
ended November 30, 1994. In addition, the Company purchased 315,790 shares of
MCT's nonvoting Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $4.75 per share for a
total of $1,500 cash on November 23, 1994. The investment in equity securities
is included in other assets at February 28, 1995 and is stated at cost, which
approximates fair value.
NOTE 5. NOTES PAYABLE
On December 15, 1994, the Company obtained a $7,500 domestic bank line
of credit which expires in January 1996. The agreement provides for borrowings
up to the lesser of 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable or the $7,500
committed credit amount. In addition, on February 9, 1995, the Company
obtained an additional $5,000 line of credit guaranteed by the Export-Import
Bank of the United States to support export sales. This agreement provides for
borrowings up to the lesser of 90% of eligible foreign accounts receivable plus
70% of eligible inventory to support such receivables, or the $5,000 committed
credit amount. Borrowings under these lines bear interest at prime (9.0% at
February 28, 1995) plus 1.0% and 0.5% for the domestic and foreign lines of
credit, respectively, and are collateralized by a security interest in
substantially all of the Company's previously unencumbered tangible and
intangible assets. The terms of the credit agreements require, among other
terms, minimum amounts of tangible net worth, minimum ratios of current assets
to current liabilities, and maximum ratios of indebtedness to net worth. The
credit agreements preclude the Company from taking certain actions without
prior bank approval. Transactions subject to such prohibition include the
declaration of cash dividends, certain significant asset acquisitions or
dispositions, incurrence of certain additional indebtedness, and changing the
nature of the Company's business. At February 28, 1995, the Company had
borrowed $5,100 under these lines of credit, but was in violation of certain
covenants. Subsequent to February 28, 1995, the Company received a waiver of
such non-compliance and amended certain financial covenants for the duration of
the agreements. As amended, the credit agreements require the Company to
maintain quarterly profitability beginning with the quarter ending May 31,
1995.

NOTE 6. STOCKHOLDER LITIGATION
On December 6, 1994, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and its
former Chief Financial Officer were named as defendants in a complaint filed in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by a
stockholder who claims to represent a class of stockholders that purchased
shares of the Company's common stock between May 18, 1993 and December 5, 1994.
The complaint is based on provisions of federal securities laws and seeks
equitable relief and unspecified damages for losses allegedly resulting from,
among other things, improper disclosure.
On April 7, 1995, the parties filed with the Court a stipulation
seeking a voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice.
NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 6, 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $3,400 under the
domestic line of credit, thereby reaching the maximum amount available under
that line. An additional $1,300 remained available for future borrowing under
the foreign line of credit as of February 28, 1995, based on eligible foreign
accounts receivable and inventory on such date.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
In the second quarter of fiscal 1995, Megatest reported net revenues
of $18.2 million. While the Company reported record incoming orders during the
quarter, many of such orders were received late in the quarter or were
for shipment in a later quarter, and thus could not be converted to revenue
during the second quarter. As a result, the Company reported a net loss of
$3.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 1995. During the second
quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company continued its operating cost reduction
efforts, including the implementation of a 10% salary reduction for all
salaried employees which ended February 28, 1995. Excluding
one-time charges totaling approximately $1.4 million (see Cost of Sales and
Engineering and Product Development discussions, below), the costs related to
the 1149 product line acquired in November 1994, and product material expenses,
the Company's base operating spending for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was
4% and 15% below second and fourth quarters, respectively, of fiscal 1994.
Acquisition of Product Line
On November 22, 1994, the Company acquired the 1149 Tester product
line and follow-on in-process technology (the "Product Line") from Micro
Component Technology, Inc. ("MCT") for $12.8 million. In addition, the Company
incurred acquisition related expenses of $1.1 million. The purchase of the
Product Line included substantially all of the assets and intellectual property
and the assumption of certain liabilities, approximating $2.1 million,
associated with the Product Line. The Product Line features a low cost logic
IC test system that is expected to complement the Company's Polaris logic test
systems, and opens markets in which the Company has not previously participated
with its existing products, such as FPGAs, PLDs and certain microcontrollers.
As a result of the acquisition of the Product Line, the Company incurred a
one-time write-off of in-process technology of $8.8 million, which contributed
to the Company's first quarter loss. Excluding the one-time write-off of
in-process technology, the results of operations for the Product Line from the
date of acquisition through February 28, 1995 were not material to Megatest's
results of operations.
Net Revenues
The Company's net revenues for the three-month and six-month periods
ended February 28, 1995 decreased 21.6% and 33.4%, respectively, from the
corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced
declines in sales in all geographic areas and in all product lines during the
first quarter of fiscal 1995, and believes such declines were due primarily to
delayed orders from its customers. Of the $18.2 million in total net revenue
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995, 30% consisted primarily of revenue
from sales of spare parts and service contracts.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin on Product Sales
Gross margin as a percent of net revenues for the three-month and
six-month periods ended February 28, 1995 was 29.2% and 30.9%, respectively.
For the second quarter, the 29.2% gross margin represents a decline of 16
percentage points from the same period of fiscal 1994, and a decline of 4.3
percentage points from the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The low gross margin
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 resulted primarily from the low shipment
level, as manufacturing spending could not be scaled back in proportion to the
decline in revenues from the anticipated rate of sales. In addition, the
Company increased inventory reserves by $0.9 million for certain components
which the Company plans to upgrade to higher performance levels to better match
customer requirements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Engineering and Product Development Expense
Engineering and product development expenses for the three-month and
six-month periods ended February 28, 1995 increased 32.2% and 25.0%,
respectively, from the corresponding periods in fiscal 1994. As a percentage
of net revenue, engineering and product development expenses increased 11
percentage points to 27.7% from the corresponding three-month period of fiscal
1994, and increased 15 percentage points to 31.1% from the corresponding
six-month period of fiscal 1994. The increase in engineering and product
development expenditures includes $0.5 million related to the Product Line,
$0.5 million of certain costs associated with accelerated development of the
Company's new Vega Series logic testers, and the Company's continuing
commitment to maintaining a high level of engineering and product development
effort. The Company intends to continue to invest significant resources in the
development of next generation products for both memory and logic applications.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 increased 9% from the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. For
the six months ended February 28, 1995, selling, general, and administrative
expenses increased 5% from the corresponding six-month period of fiscal 1994.
The year-to-year increase in dollar expenditures was attributable primarily to
increased hiring and employee compensation, and the addition of the Product
Line. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to continue to
increase both sequentially and year-to-year.
Other Income and Expense
Other income was minimal for the quarter ended February 28, 1995,
compared to $0.4 million for the same quarter in fiscal 1994. Other income
consists primarily of interest income from the investment of the Company's cash
balances offset by interest expense on notes payable. The decrease in net
interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 is attributable to lower
cash balances and the interest expense incurred on line-of-credit borrowings
necessitated by the Product Line acquisition and net cash used for operations
in the first and second quarters of fiscal 1995.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1995
was 16% compared to 25% for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The
reduction in the rate was primarily attributable to adjustments to the deferred
tax valuation allowance associated with the Company's lower than anticipated
earnings during the quarter. The Company anticipates that the quarterly
effective tax rate for the remainder of fiscal 1995 and for fiscal 1996 will be
approximately 20% to 25%.
Net Income/(Loss)
The Company had a net loss of $3.6 and $16.1 million for the
three-month and six-month periods ended February 28, 1995, versus net income of
$2.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
the prior fiscal year. The year-to-date net loss included an $8.8 million
write-off in the first quarter of in-process technology associated with the
purchase of the 1149 tester product line from MCT on November 22, 1994. Net
income for last year's first quarter included a gain of $1.7 million related to
the adoption of FAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The per share loss was
$.51 for the three-month period and $2.24 for the six-month period ended
February 28, 1995, versus net income per share of $.29 and $0.55, respectively,
for the same periods last year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's total current assets were 2.3 times total current
liabilities at February 28, 1995, compared to 3.3 times at August 31, 1994 and
4.1 times at February 28, 1994. In November 1994, the Company used $13.9
million of its available cash to acquire the Product Line and made a $1.5
million investment in MCT Preferred Stock. The MCT acquisition included
$5.7 million of 1149 Tester inventory, $1.0 million of equipment and other
fixed assets, and the assumption of $2.1 million of trade payables, warranty
and other liabilities associated with the 1149 Tester product line.
Accounts receivable decreased $3.2 million during the first six months
of fiscal 1995 due to the low revenue level recorded for the first and second
quarters and to continued emphasis on receivables management. Excluding
inventory acquired from MCT, inventories increased $2.7 million during the
first six months of fiscal 1995, primarily due to the low shipment level and
demonstration units at customer sites. The Company continues to monitor
inventory levels carefully based on current and projected sales levels and has
implemented programs to reduce inventory going forward.
Investing activities used $11.2 million in the first half of fiscal
1995, compared to $12.6 million in the comparable period last year. Excluding
cash payments to acquire the Product Line and MCT Preferred Stock, investing
activities consisted primarily of purchases of $5.5 million of property and
equipment, offset by the sale of $10.1 million of short-term investments to
fund the Product Line acquisition. Financing activities provided $5.1 million
in the first half of fiscal 1995, representing borrowings under the Company's
lines of credit.
At February 28, 1995, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments were $2.7 million, compared to $29.5 million at August
31, 1994. The decrease primarily reflects the cash used to acquire the Product
Line from MCT and to fund operations during the first and second quarters. On
December 15, 1994, the Company obtained a $7,500 domestic bank line of credit
which expires in January 1996. The agreement provides for borrowings up to the
lesser of 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable or the $7.5 million
committed credit amount. In addition, on February 9, 1995, the Company
obtained an additional $5.0 million line of credit guaranteed by the
Export-Import Bank of the United States to support export sales. This
agreement provides for borrowings up to the lesser of 90% of eligible foreign
accounts receivable plus 70% of eligible inventory to support such receivables,
or the $5.0 million committed credit amount. Borrowings under these lines bear
interest at prime (9.0% at February 28, 1995) plus 1.0% and 0.5% for the
domestic and foreign lines of credit, respectively, and are collateralized by a
security interest in substantially all of the Company's previously unencumbered
tangible and intangible assets. The terms of the credit agreements require,
among other terms, minimum amounts of tangible net worth, minimum ratios of
current assets to current liabilities, and maximum ratios of indebtedness to
net worth. The credit agreements preclude the Company from taking certain
actions without prior bank approval. Transactions subject to such prohibition
include the declaration of cash dividends, certain significant asset
acquisitions or dispositions, incurrence of certain additional indebtedness,
and changing the nature of the Company's business. At February 28, 1995, the
Company had borrowed $5.1 million under these lines of credit, but was in
violation of certain covenants. Subsequent to February 28, 1995, the Company
received a waiver of such non-compliance and amended certain financial
covenants for the duration of the agreements. As amended, the credit
agreements require the Company to maintain quarterly profitability beginning
with the quarter ending May 31, 1995.
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together with
its cash balances and funds available under working capital lines of credit,
will provide sufficient financing resources to meet both working capital and
capital expenditure requirements through fiscal 1995 based on recent order
rates and anticipated revenue levels. However, the Company is also in
discussions with several lenders to secure asset-based long-term debt financing
to further enhance its liquidity and to provide additional flexibility to fund
future growth.

promptly confirmed by a Borrowing Certificate in substantially the form of
2
<PAGE> 6
Schedule 2.1 hereto. In addition to the procedure set forth in the preceding
sentence, Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon
written instructions received from a Responsible Officer or without
instructions if in Bank's discretion such Advances are necessary to meet
Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank will credit the
amount of Advances made under this Section 2.1 to Borrower's deposit account.
Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and re-borrowed at
any time during the term of this Agreement so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of
Obligations pursuant to this Agreement owed by Borrower to Bank pursuant to
Section 2.1 of this Agreement is greater than the lesser of (i) the Borrowing
Base or (ii) the Ex-Im Committed Line, at the option of Bank, (i) Borrower
shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess, or (ii)
Borrower shall furnish additional collateral to Bank in form and amount
satisfactory to Bank and Ex-Im Bank.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rate. Except as specified to the contrary in any Loan
Document, the Obligations under this Agreement shall bear interest, on the
average Daily Balance, at a rate equal to One Half Percentage Point (0.5%)
above the Prime Rate.
(b) Default Rate. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to five (5) percentage
points above the rate that applied immediately prior to the occurrence of the
Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each calendar month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its
option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments
against Borrower's deposit account or against the Ex- Im
Committed Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at
the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be
compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall
thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to
time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or
decreased contemporaneously with such change by an amount equal to such change
in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.
2.4 Crediting Payments. The receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of
funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to
conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such wire transfer is of immediately available federal funds and
is made to the appropriate deposit account of Bank or unless and until such
check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or
payment received by Bank after 11:00 a.m. California time shall be deemed to
have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day.
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following fees:
(a) Financial Examination and Appraisal Fees. Bank's reasonable fees and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for Bank's initial audit of Borrower's
Accounts and Inventory, and for each subsequent appraisal of Collateral and
financial analysis and examination of Borrower performed from time to time by

3
<PAGE> 7
(c) Ex-Im Fee. A fee equal to Thirty Seven Thousand Dollars ($37,500),
payable to Ex-Im Bank; and
(d) Bank Expenses. On the Closing Date, Bank Expenses incurred through
the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, all Bank Expenses as they become
due.
2.6 Increased Costs. In case any law, regulation, treaty or official
directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or any
governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the
compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):
(a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to payments of principal or
interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by Borrower or otherwise with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the
overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America or any
political subdivision thereof); or
(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in
or for the account of, or loans by, Bank; or
(c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to their
performance under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce
the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to
any loans, Bank shall notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to Bank
the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense
as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon
presentation by Bank of a statement in the amount and setting forth Bank's
calculation thereof, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent
manifest error.
2.7 Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by Bank
and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity
Date, on which date all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default and Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
immediately upon payment in full of its Obligations then outstanding hereunder.
Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, all of Bank's security
interest in all of the Collateral and all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations have
been paid and performed in full, and no termination shall impair any right or
remedy of Bank, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any
Obligation to Bank until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in
full.
2.8 Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of Advances only for
the purposes specified in the Borrower Agreement. Borrower shall not use the
proceeds of the Advances for any purpose prohibited by the Borrower Agreement.
3. CONDITIONS OF LOANS
3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Advance. The obligation of Bank to
make the initial Advance is subject to the condition precedent that Bank shall
have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
(a) this Agreement and the Note, each duly executed by Borrower;
4
<PAGE> 8

lien which in Bank's determination appears to be prior or superior to its
security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith.

without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise

Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any
property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing
production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in
connection with Bank's exercise of its rights under this section 9.1,
Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure
to Bank's benefit;
(h) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by
way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such
manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Bank determines is
commercially reasonable;
(i) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
(j) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as
provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Ex-Im Direction. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Ex-Im

in section 9.1 and (ii) request that Bank accelerate the maturity of any other
loans to Borrower as to which Bank has a right to accelerate.
9.3 Ex-Im Notification. Bank shall have the right to immediately notify
Ex-Im Bank in writing if it has knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following events: (1) any failure to pay any amount due under this Loan
Agreement or the Note; (2) the Borrowing Base is less than the sum of
outstanding Advances hereunder; (3) any failure to pay when due any amount
payable to Bank by the Borrower under any loan(s) extended by Bank to Borrower;
(4) the filing of an action for debtor's relief by, against, or on behalf of
Borrower, or (5) any threatened or pending material litigation against
Borrower, or any material dispute involving Borrower.
In the event that it sends such a notification to Ex-Im Bank, Bank shall have
the right to thereafter send Ex-Im Bank a written report on the status of the
events covered by said notification on
8
<PAGE> 12
each Business Day which occurs every thirty (30) calendar days after
the date of said notification, until such time as Bank files a claim with
Ex-Im Bank or said default or other events have been cured.
Bank shall not have any obligation to make any Advances following said
notification to Ex-Im Bank, unless Ex-Im Bank gives its written approval
thereto.
If directed to do so by Ex-Im Bank, Bank shall have a right promptly to
exercise any rights it may have against Borrower to demand the immediate
repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents.
9.4 Remedies Cumulative. Bank's rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall
have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as
provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one
right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event
of Default on Borrower's part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by
Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT ON
MEDIUM- AND LONG-TERM PROGRAMS
"OPEN FOR COVER" versus "OFF-COVER". The attached Country Limitation Schedule
indicates where Ex-Im Bank is "open for cover" and where Ex-Im Bank is "off-
cover". The Schedule is organized along three dimensions: the country where
the risk lies, sector (public sector or private sector), and term of total
exposure (including both disbursement period and repayment term). Ex-Im
Bank defines "public sector" as including those obligors or guarantors which
are at least 50% owned, directly or indirectly, by the government. Where the
CLS presents an X mark, Ex-Im Bank is "off-cover", and is therefore not
willing to consider approval of routine transactions. These "off-cover"
determinations are due to economic and/or political risks associated with the
country.
WHERE EX-IM BANK IS OPEN FOR COVER. The "open for cover" designation refers to
the possibility, rather than the certainty, of Ex-Im Bank support in
particular cases. Proposed obligors, guarantors, and transaction structures
under medium- and long-term programs are all subject to case-by-case Bank
approval. Approval depends on the case-by-case application of Bank policies,
particularly the Bank's determination of reasonable assurance of repayment.
The following paragraphs provide very general guidance to the application of
policies in markets where Ex-Im Bank is on-cover.
- - - IDENTIFICATION OF OBLIGOR OR GUARANTOR. Ex-Im Bank will approve a final
commitment, a preliminary commitment (PC), or a medium-term insurance policy
or commitment (MTIP or MTIC), only if a specific obligor or guarantor has
been identified. Ex-Im Bank may approve an indicative letter of interest
(LI) for a proposed transaction, subject to the condition that an obligor or
guarantor is identified at the time the LI is converted to a final
commitment. PC, MTIP, or MTIC; and Ex-Im Bank can accept the credit risk of
the proposed obligor or guarantor.
- - - INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS REGARDING OBLIGORS OR GUARANTORS. Ex-Im Bank
requires that obligors or guarantors offer "reasonable assurance of
repayment." To process applications for final commitments, PCs. MTIPS, and
MTICs, Ex-Im Bank will first require information on proposed obligors and
guarantors. Such information includes financial statements and credit
references. Engineering data is required for long-term transactions.
Generally, Ex-Im Bank will require more detailed information regarding
obligors or guarantors when processing relatively large transactions, or
transactions with obligors or guarantors with which Ex-Im Bank has had no
favorable direct credit experience. Ex-Im Bank's application form and
program literature specify the Bank's standard information requirements.
- - - SOVEREIGN GUARANTEES FOR PUBLIC SECTOR BUYERS OR OBLIGORS. For most cases
involving proposed public sector buyers or obligors, Ex-Im Bank will
routinely require a sovereign guarantee. This is particularly true when the
public sector obligor is dependent on government budget support or otherwise
lacks financial and operating independence.
- - - PRIOR HOST GOVERNMENT REVIEW OF SOVERIGN CASES IN SOME COUNTRIES. In some
countries, Ex-Im Bank requires prior review of proposed public sector cases
by government authorities responsible for providing the sovereign guarantee,
before Ex-Im Bank will begin processing action.
- - - TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF COVER. In countries where the CLS indicates that
Ex-Im Bank is "open for cover", Ex-Im Bank may, under certain circumstances,
temporarily suspend cover. This is most likely to be the case for public
sector obligors and guarantors only, but may involve all obligors and
guarantors. In such an event, Ex-Im Bank will advise applicants as quickly
as possible.
- - - LARGE TRANSACTIONS IN SMALLER MARKETS. Relatively large transactions in
smaller economies, even when sovereign guaranteed, will be subject to
special Ex-Im Bank review. Ex-Im Bank will review the potential
<PAGE> 26
PAGE 10 OF 11
macroeconomic impacts of the transaction, in terms of higher debt burden and
improved debt repayment capacity.
- - - PRIVATE COMPANIES. Ex-Im Bank will accept the direct credit risks of
private buyers, if available information suggests that these buyers offer a
"reasonable assurance of repayment." For closely-held companies, Ex-Im Bank
may require financial information from owners. For holding companies, Ex-Im
Bank may require financial information on operating components, and may
require their counter-guarantee.
- - - COMMERCIAL BANK GUARANTEES. Ex-Im Bank may require the guarantees of
acceptable commercial banks in the event that information available to Ex-Im
Bank on proposed private buyers suggests that these buyers by themselves do
not offer a "reasonable assurance of repayment."
- - - LIMITED RECOURSE PROJECTS. Ex-Im Bank will consider limited-recourse
project finance structures (those without full recourse to an acceptable,
established obligor or guarantor), but only after a comprehensive review of
project features. These features shall include the financial commitment of
the project's equity shareholders over the life of the proposed Ex-Im Bank
commitment, the experience and capacity of project participants, including
suppliers and offtakers; project cash flow coverage of foreign currency debt
service; and security structures, including hard currency external payments
arrangements. Ex-Im Bank will review only well-developed proposals, and
will require project sponsors to fund review of project proposals by
consultants retained by the Bank. Significant changes to proposed
structures may be required.
- - - POLITICAL-ONLY COVER. Ex-Im Bank's standard guarantee and insurance cover
is "comprehensive", under which Ex-Im Bank will pay claims resulting from
both commercial and political perils. Ex-Im Bank also offers a narrower
form of coverage, under "political-only" cover. Ex-Im Bank's guarantee
agreements and insurance policies describe in detail and or define the
specific risks which are subject to this form of coverage.
The following is intended as a summary: For long-term transactions, Ex-Im
Bank covers default arising from three "core" perils: transfer risk,
expropriation, and political violence. Transfer risk involves borrowers'
inability to acquire foreign exchange through legal foreign exchange
markets. Expropriation involves the government's confiscation of assets or
ownership, or arbitrary or discriminatory intervention in business
operations. Political violence involves war, revolution, insurrection, and
other such acts. Under medium-term insurance policies, Ex-Im Bank also
covers defaults arising from other defined risks.
Suppliers and/or lenders choosing political-only cover must be prepared to
assume broad commercial risks associated with the borrower's capacity.
Ex-Im Bank's political-only cover does not cover defaults arising from the
borrower's capacity to withstand domestic or international commercial market
disruptions, or currency devaluation or depreciation. If suppliers and/or
lenders are unable to assume these and other commercial risks, then Ex-Im
Bank comprehensive cover would be a more appropriate form of coverage.
Political-only cover is offered only for private buyers or borrowers, those
which are not subject to the administration of government authorities, and
for which it is possible to distinguish between commercial perils and
political- risk perils. Political-only cover is the only form of coverage
<PAGE> 27
Page 11 of 11
available from Ex-Im Bank for borrowers which are effectively controlled by
suppliers and/or lenders participating in transactions. Political-only
cover is available only in those countries where Ex-Im Bank is "open for
cover" for private sector risk.
WHERE EX-IM BANK IS OFF COVER FOR COUNTRY CREDIT REASONS. Ex-Im Bank will not
consider routine transactions in countries and sectors (public or private)
where the country limitation schedule indicates that the Bank is off-cover
(where there is an X). However, three special categories of transactions may
be eligible for Ex-Im Bank support, under restrictive conditions, subject to
additional special review:
- - - BORROWERS ON INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MARKETS. Individual borrowers (either
public sector or private sector) with a strong record of independent access
to private international capital markets, absent external (including
sovereign) guarantees. The fee grade assigned, and the extent of Ex-Im Bank
support, will take into account information related to the borrower's
capital market financings and ratings. For Ex-Im Bank to consider such
borrowers, information on the borrower's internationally-traded securities,
including their credit ratings, face values and coupons, recent market
values, and recent yields, must accompany the application.
- - - INSULATED PROJECT FINANCE STRUCTURES. Ex-Im Bank's approval in "off-cover"
markets/sectors of limited-recourse structures depends on the establishment
of structures which do not require the financial or operating commitments of
host government agencies and which are effectively insulated from government
involvement. Furthermore, these structures must involve the channeling of
project foreign exchange earnings through offshore payments and escrow
mechanisms. In some country environments, the only acceptable limited-
recourse structures may be "enclave" projects which are almost completely
insulated from the broader country environment. The fee grade assigned, and
the extent of Ex-Im Bank support, will take into account project structure
and other conditions.
- - - SECURED LONG-RANGE AIRCRAFT LEASES. Ex-Im Bank approval of asset-secured
long-range aircraft lease transactions requires that the airline's country
of registry become a signatory to international conventions protecting
aircraft property rights. Ex-Im Bank approval for aircraft transactions in
off-cover markets is more likely for privately-owned airlines with
established operating records. Depending on the nature of transaction
participants and structures, Ex-Im Bank may also require offshore payments
and escrow mechanisms, or may provide a reduced percentage of cover.
Aircraft transactions are subject to special fees and covenants.
Because these transactions are subject to individual special review, Ex-Im
Bank will not approve letters of interest (LIs) for them. It should be noted
that these exceptions do not apply in countries where Ex-Im Bank is legally
prohibited from operating.
