POWER DESIGNS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997 and 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by Power Designs, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management
of the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto. In the opinion
of the management of the Company, the condensed consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods to
which these financial statements relate.
The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended December 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996 include the operations of PDIXF Acquisition
Corporation for the periods July 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997 and October
11, 1996 through December 31, 1996 respectively.
Note 2. Significant Events
During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the company's losses related to low
manufacturing yields, resulted in a negative gross profit for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 of ($1,348,074). This decrease in gross margin was
largely due to a significant reduction in the value of work in process, finished
goods and raw material inventories in the amount of $1,218,512. This reduction
in value is the result of a decision by the company to cease manufacturing of
its uninterruptible power supply/power line conditioner (UPS/PLC) product line.
Manufacturing and engineering issues, which impaired the company's ability to
manufacture the product cost effectively, were the cause of numerous product
failures. Estimated fair market value for these inventories at December 31, 1997
is zero for UPS/PLC work in process and finished goods, and $100,000 for UPS/PLC
raw material.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,854,683 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997, inclusive of $2,846,557 for the amortization of
Goodwill. No revenue stream related to the production of the UPS/PLC product
line was identified at December 31, 1997 and therefore, management determined
that goodwill was impaired.
9
<PAGE>
The net profit (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 1997 is
($5,736,223).
In October of 1997 an additional $200,000 in temporary financing was raised,
based upon terms similar to the private offering completed in July of 1997 from
investors, directors and other affiliates. In December of 1997 an additional
$113,000 in temporary financing was also raised, based upon terms similar to the
aforementioned.
In November 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved (1) a proposal to
authorize the issuance of an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (2) an
additional 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, and (3) a proposed eight-for-one
reverse stock split.
Note 3 - Subsequent Events:
On January 22, 1998, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PDIXF
Acquisition Corporation, filed voluntary petitions in bankruptcy court under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Act. In May 1998 a Plan of
Reorganization was filed by the debtors with the Office of the U.S. Trustee. No
action on the plan has been taken by the court as of this date.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations.
Current Developments
During fiscal year 1998, the issuer's manufacturing and engineering
departments continued to experience a high level of failures in its
uninterruptible power supply and power line conditioner ("UPS/PLC") product
lines. The issuer immediately suspended shipments of the new products and
initiated efforts to diagnose and resolve the production problems. This effort
resulted in the issuer's decision to suspend the production of all UPS/PLC
products. Numerous attempts during fiscal years 1997 and 1998, to produce the
product at higher volumes revealed that the UPS/PLC product would require
significant manufacturing reengineering to achieve sufficient production volumes
and acceptable manufacturing yields. Communication with various turnkey contract
manufacturers was suspended and UPS/PLC production personnel were furloughed.
Due to the UPS/PLC production problems, the issuer continued to focus
its technical and financial resources on its UPS/PLC product line during the
first half of fiscal 1998. Consequently, the issuer experienced delays in the
availability of raw material and in the ultimate shipment of its other three
product lines. These delays resulted in strained relationships with various
customers and distributors.
Significant financial constraints required the issuer to look for
alternative sources of working capital to continue the reengineering of the
UPS/PLC product line and to continue with production of its three other product
lines. Also at this time, certain measures were taken to reduce operating costs,
while alternative sources of working capital were explored. Overhead expenses
were minimized and personnel reductions were effected in all departments.
Although various offers to sell the three core product lines were entertained,
no transaction was completed.
Unable to raise sufficient new capital to sustain its operations, the
issuer terminated the remainder of its workforce on January 6, 1998. On January
15, 1998, Fred G. Basso resigned his position as President of the issuer. On
January 22, 1998, the issuer, and its wholly owned subsidiary, PDIXF Acquisition
Corporation, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the district of
Connecticut. On January 23, 1998 the issuer reopened for business under new
management. A small workforce was recalled, and production of the three core
product lines was reestablished.
In May 1998, the issuer filed a formal plan of reorganization with the
Office of the U.S. Trustee
Liquidity and Capital Resources
11
<PAGE>
Throughout the first half of fiscal 1998, the resources and
personnel of the issuer continued to be deployed in the investigation and
resolution of a number of manufacturing and production problems encountered in
the manufacturing of the UPS/PLC product lines. These problems resulted in
extremely low manufacturing yields evidenced by the gross profit (loss) at
September 30, 1997 of ($15,379), and at December 31, 1997 of ($1,363,454). In
addition, significant operating funds were expended over this same period,
resulting in a net profit (loss) for the six months of ($6,936,774).
In October 1997 an additional $200,000 in interim financing was raised
from investors, directors and affiliates of the issuer, on the same terms as the
bridge offering completed in July 1997. Also an additional $113,000 in interim
financing was raised from a director in December 1997, also on substantially the
same terms as the bridge offering noted here.
In November 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved (1) a
proposal to authorize the issuance of an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common
Stock (2) an additional 4,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, and (3) a proposed
eight-for-one reverse stock split.
Pursuant to a court order, the issuer, as debtor-in-possession, has
entered into a financing agreement with Venture Partners Ltd., as agent, to
borrow working capital, up to a maximum of $400,000. The terms of this agreement
call for interest at 20% and a term of 120 days. This debt is collateralized
firstly by the machinery and equipment of the issuer, and secondarily by its
accounts receivable. A total of $245,000 is presently outstanding on this loan.
Similarly, the issuer, pursuant to a court order, has entered into a
receivable factoring agreement with Porter Capital Corporation ("Porter"),
whereby trade receivables are sold to Porter at 94% of face value. A 2% or 4%
rebate is returned to the issuer if the receivable is collected within 60 and 90
days respectively. Fees to Porter include a minimum of 2% of the face amount of
the receivables factored, and an annual interest rate of prime on the
outstanding amount advanced. Collateral for this obligation comprises the
factored receivables, with a secondary lien on the machinery and equipment of
the issuer.
The issuer currently has a net stockholders' deficit of approximately
$12,700,000, meaning that amounts owed to its creditors, including without
limitation Inverness Corporation, exceed the issuer's assets.
Results of Operations
Results for the first six months of fiscal 1997 reflect the
Acquisition, and therefore represent a substantial change from the figures for
the same period in fiscal 1998. Accordingly a period-to-period comparison of the
historical results of operations and financial condition of the issuer is not
meaningful.
12
<PAGE>
Second three months of fiscal 1998 versus second three months of fiscal
1997.
Net sales decreased to $482,174 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997
as compared with $1,239,232 for the same period in 1996.
Likewise, gross profit decreased from a profit of $241,676 for the
second quarter of fiscal 1997 to a profit (loss) of ($1,348,074) for the current
quarter, the result of the low manufacturing yields and a substantial reduction
in UPS/PLC inventory value. Cost of Sales increased from $997,556 for the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 to $1,830,248 for the same period in fiscal 1998. A
substantial portion of the increase, $1,218,512 is due to the inventory
adjustment noted. The issuer's growing reliance on debt financing of its
deficits accounts for the increase in interest expense to $536,837 as of
December 31,1997 from $216,486 as of December 31, 1996. As a result of these
conditions, the halting of the primary product line's production and full
impairment of Goodwill totaling $2,846,557, the net profit (loss) for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 is ($5,736,223), as compared to ($1,300,414) for the same
period in fiscal 1997.
First three months of fiscal 1998 versus first three months of fiscal
1997.
Net sales exceeded $750,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
compared with approximately $90,000 for the same period in 1996.
However, gross profit (loss) decreased from $10,860 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 to ($15,379) for the same quarter in fiscal 1998, the
result of the low manufacturing yields experienced by the issuer prior to an
anticipated conversion to turnkey manufacturing. Operating expenses increased
from $108,320 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $770,379 for the same
period in fiscal 1998. This increase in expenses is reflective of the greater
production and sales volume attributable to the acquisition of the new
businesses, as well as the issuer's increased depreciation and amortization
expenses recognized from assets obtained in the Acquisition. The issuer's
significant reliance on debt financing accounts for the increase in interest
expense to $414,792 as of September 30,1997 from $32,947 as of September 30,
1996. As a result of the above conditions, the net profit (loss) for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 is ($1,200,550), as compared to ($130,407) for
the same period in fiscal 1997.
Through the second quarter of fiscal year 1998, the issuer expended
considerable funds and effort in attempting to implement the necessary
operational improvements needed as a going concern. The issuer's plans for
improvement included instituting processes that could streamline operations, and
raising additional debt and capital financing. By the end of the second quarter
of fiscal 1998, the issuer remained unsuccessful in these efforts, and sought
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Act in January of 1998. It is
the intention of the present management of the issuer to concentrate its
resources on the production of its remaining three product lines, to reduce
operating and occupancy costs where possible, to improve marketing strategies
and repair customer relationships, and to replace the debtor-in-possession
financing with less costly conventional debt instruments upon confirmation of a
plan of reorganization.
13
<PAGE>
However, there can be no assurances that the issuer will be able to obtain such
additional debt financing, or be successful at streamlining and improving
operating results.
Certain statements contained in this Item 2 regarding matters that are
not historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding the future
adequacy of the issuer's working capital, its ability to raise capital through
debt or equity offerings, its ability to maintain or improve its present cash
flow, are "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of the issuer to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements, express or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of forms
of such terms and phrases as "expects," "intends," "goals," "estimates,"
"projects," "plans," "anticipates," "should," "future," "believes," and
"scheduled". The variables which may cause differences include, but are not
limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions;
competition; success of operating initiatives; operating costs; advertising and
promotional efforts; the existence or absence of adverse publicity; changes in
business strategy or development plans; the ability to retain management;
availability, terms and deployment of capital; business abilities and judgement
of personnel; availability of qualified personnel; labor and employee benefit
costs; availability and costs of raw materials and supplies; and changes in, or
failure to comply with, government regulations. Although the issuer believes
that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein
are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there
can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this filing
will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in
the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such
information should not be regarded as a representation by the issuer or any
other person that the objectives and expectations of the issuer will be
achieved.
