SETECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANACIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 1998
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 1998 and
June 30, 1997, and the consolidated statements of operations and cash
flows for the nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting
policies described in its 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997 and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and changes in cash flows at March 31,
1998 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of
operations for the period ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Organization
SETECH, Inc.(formerly Aviation Education Systems, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation, and the "Company") is a provider of integrated supply/inventory
management services, general line industrial distribution services,as well
as job shop machining, engineering products and services, to a variety of
industries including automotive, aviation, and medical.
Prior to January of 1997, the Company was also a provider of air traffic
control, weather observing and forecasting services under contracts with
the FAA and other federal, state and local governments and agencies through
its former subsidiaries BARTON ATC, Inc. and BARTON ATC International, Inc.
In January of 1997, the Company sold its stock in these subsidiaries and the
results of their operations and the sale of their stock is presented herein
as discontinued operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SETECH, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Lewis Supply Company, Inc. ("Lewis"), a
Delaware corporation, and Southeastern Technology, Inc. ("Southeastern"), a
Tennessee corporation. Prior to February 5, 1998, the Company owned another
subsidiary,Titan Services, Inc. which was merged with and into the Company
with the Company acting as the surviving corporation.
References to the Company in these notes include SETECH, Inc. and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue and Expense Recognition
The Company maintains contracts with its customers to procure and
manage tooling, supply and proprietary spare parts inventories under various
terms. The Company's contracts are generally from three to five years in
length with renewal provisions for subsequent periods. Management expects
to renew the Company's existing contracts for periods consistent with the
remaining renewal options allowed by the contracts or other reasonable
extensions.
Credit Risk and Concentration of Activities
A significant number of the Company's customers are in the aviation,
automobile and medical instrument industries. Approximately 21% of the
Company's total revenues for the quarter, were to a customer in the
automobile industry. Trade accounts receivable at March 31, 1998
include approximately $2.2 million due from the same customer.
Reclassification of Financial Statement Presentation
Amounts received from customers for the cost of inventory acquired and
sold under inventory procurement and management contracts, which were
previously recorded as a reduction in cost of revenues, have been
reclassified as revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations. This reclassification conforms the Company's presentation
to industry practice.
Certain additional reclassifications have been made to the 1997
financial statements to conform with the 1998 presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure
("SFAS 129"). SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing information
about an entity's capital structure. The Company has adopted SFAS 129 in
the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Such adoption did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
2. ACQUISITION
Effective June 26, 1997, the Company acquired Lewis in a purchase
transaction. The acquisition was consummated by the exchange of 255,102
shares of the Company's common stock, a commitment to issue an additional
30,612 shares of the Company's common stock, $5,952,500 cash and notes
payable totaling $750,000 for 100% of the outstanding shares of Lewis's
common stock. The principal shareholder and three employees of Lewis
also entered into an employment agreement and an agreement not to compete
with the Company.
The 30,612 additional shares of the Company's common stock will be
issued in increments of 10,204 shares per year on June 1, 1998, 1999
and 2000, respectivly. These shares have been valued as of the date of
the acquisition and recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets as an accrued expense.
3. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
("SFAS 128"), has been issued effective for fiscal periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. The Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS 128 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and has restated earnings per
share for all periods presented. Adoption of SFAS 128 did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements, taken as a whole.
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted net income per share reflects the dilutive effect of common shares
contingently issuable upon conversion of convertible debt securities in
periods in which such conversion would cause dilution and the effect on net
income of converting the debt securities.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate
diluted net income per share for the quarters ended March 31, 1998
and 1997.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On January 31, 1997, the Company sold the stock of BARTON ATC, Inc.
and BARTON ATC International, Inc., which represented its government
services industry segment in prior years, to Serco, Inc. for $2,150,000.
Accordingly, these operations are accounted for as discontinued operations
and their results of operations are segregated in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains statements relating to
the future of the Company (including certain projections and business
trends) that are "forward looking statements" as defined by Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward looking statements include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company
and its management and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from the results discussed
in the forward looking statements. When used in this Form 10-QSB with
respect to the Company, the words "estimate," "project," "intend," "anticipate,"
"expect," "foresee," "believe," "plan," and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. The risks and uncertainties relating to the forward looking
statements include, but are not limited to, changes in political, economic
and/or labor conditions; changes in the regulatory environment; the
Company's ability to integrate its acquisitions; competitive production and
pricing pressures; the ability of customers to remediate any Year 2000
problems; as well as other risks and uncertainties.
Plan of Operation
With the acquisition of Lewis (the "Acquisition") and the disposition
of its Government Services Group, the Company is increasing its focus on
integrated supply and has undertaken an internal restructuring to
accomplish such focus. As of February 5, 1998, the Company took over the
integrated supply operations of its Titan subsidiary through a merger of
Titan into the Company. While no assurance can be made as to the ultimate
synergies that will be realized through the Lewis acquisition, management
believes that the capabilities of Lewis have had a positive effect on the
Company's consolidated operations, and will do so in the future.
Results of Operations
The increase in revenues, cost of sales, SG&A and interest expense are
primarily due to the acquisition of Lewis in June, 1997, as well as the
start up of two new integrated supply sites during the quarter (six
new integrated supply sites during the nine month period),
including operations in Mexico.
The Company realized income from continuing operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 of $149,763, compared to $122,882 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The Company realized income from continuing
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 of $511,533 compared to
$464,484 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
As a subsequent event, SETECH has been awarded two contracts
to provide indirect materials management services over the next three years.
One with Delphi Delco Electronics Systems' at their three U.S. plant sites
and another with Delphi Saginaw Steering's eight U.S. plants. Delphi Delco
Electronics manufactures a variety of electronic components for the automotive
industry while Delphi Saginaw Steering manufactures a variety of steering
components for the automotive industry. These two contracts represent a major
financial step forward in SETECH's integrated supply business and will result
in the orderly expansion of SETECH's work force. It is anticipated that
stocking and onsite distribution will continue to be handled by Delphi Delco
Electronics' and Delphi Saginaw Steering's personnel.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1997, the Company's current assets exceeded its
current liabilities by approximately $19,829,912. Working capital
increased to $26,076,913 at March 31, 1998. This is primarily
due to the increase in accounts receivable and inventory and the
ability to borrow from our revolving line of credit to cover these
accounts on a long term basis.
The Company maintains a secured line of credit with a banking
institution with a maximum availability of the lesser of $25 million
or the total of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as defined
in the revolving line of credit agreement. Total debt outstanding at
March 31, 1998 for this line of credit was approximately $23.5 million.
The Bank is currently in the process of increasing this line of credit
to a maximum availability of the lesser of $35 million or the total of
eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
