NOTE 3 - NET INCOME PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated in accordance with the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share," which requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS was calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the respective
periods. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options included in the
computation of EPS using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of basic
earnings per share to diluted earnings per share for the past three fiscal years
is shown in the following table (in thousands, except per share data):

Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
CMC Industries, Inc. ("CMC" or the "Company") was incorporated in 1990
to acquire certain businesses operated from the Company's Corinth, Mississippi
manufacturing facility since 1960. In August 1993, the Company transferred
certain assets and related liabilities associated with its telecommunications
business to Cortelco Systems Holding Corp. ("Cortelco"), a newly-formed company
owned by certain of the Company's existing stockholders, in exchange for
1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of Cortelco. These transactions effectively
transferred to Cortelco all of the Company's assets and liabilities not related
to its contract manufacturing business. This restructuring allowed CMC to focus
on contract manufacturing services while Cortelco pursued the development and
distribution of telephones and telecommunications products.
Set forth below are analyses of the Company's results of operations for
the three and six months ended January 31, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 1999 decreased by
approximately 16% to $74.6 million from $88.4 million for the corresponding
quarter of the prior year. Sales for the first six months of fiscal 1999 were
$148.3 million, a 17% decrease from sales of $179.1 million for the same period
of the prior year. Excluding sales to Micron Electronics, Inc. ("Micron"), with
which business was discontinued at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1998,
sales for the second fiscal quarter and first six months of fiscal 1998 were
$55.1 million and $107.6 million respectively. For further information on the
termination of the Micron business, refer to the Company's Form 10Q for the
quarterly period ended January 31, 1998.
Sales to customers other than Micron increased during the second
quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 by $19.5 million (to $74.6 million
from $55.1 million) and $40.7 million (to $148.3 million from $107.6 million),
respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year.
These increases were accomplished with sales to new customers and increased
sales to certain existing customers. Sales to Next Level Communications ("Next
Level"), a customer new to the Company in fiscal 1999, were $8.5 million and
$14.5 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999,
respectively. Sales to Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc. ("Diamond") increased
during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 when compared to
the same periods of fiscal 1998 by $16.4 million and $41.4 million,
respectively, due to both an increase in shipments and the conversion of the
business from consignment to turnkey. The increases in sales to Diamond and Next
Level were partially offset by the loss of business with Global Village
Communications ("Global Village") following the sale of its modem business to
Boca Research, Inc. ("Boca") in June 1998. Sales to Global Village were $10.4
million and $20.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
1998, respectively, but sales to Boca have been minimal in fiscal 1999.
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 was $3.6 million or
4.8% of sales, as compared to $5.5 million or 6.2% of sales for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 1999 was
$4.2 million or 2.8% of net sales, as compared to $11.1 million or 6.2% for the
same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 when
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year principally as a
result of increases in
7
<PAGE> 8
manufacturing overhead costs incurred in anticipation of higher sales volumes
and costs associated with the initiation of new manufacturing projects. There
can be no assurance that any anticipated increase in sales will occur or that
sales will not decrease in future periods. See "Factors that May Affect the
Company".
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.1 million or 4.1%
of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, as compared to $3.2 million or
3.6% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Such expenses were $6.4
million or 4.3% of sales in the first six months of fiscal 1999, as compared to
$6.3 million or 3.5% of sales for the corresponding period of the prior year.
Although selling, general and administrative expenses were comparable on an
absolute basis in the corresponding periods of fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998, such
expenses as a percentage of sales increased in the fiscal 1999 periods due to
the lower sales levels.
Net interest expense for the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal year 1999 was $419,000 and $834,000, respectively, as compared to
$357,000 and $752,000 for the corresponding periods of fiscal 1998. Interest
expense increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999 when
compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year primarily due to
an increase in average debt balances associated with the funding of the
Company's expansion of capacity in Mexico.
The Company's effective income tax rate was approximately 38%
throughout the first six months of both fiscal years 1999 and 1998. The
effective income tax rate approximates the blended state and federal statutory
rates in the United States and Mexico.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a
result of certain of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this
document. In addition to the other information contained and incorporated by
reference in this document, the following factors should be considered carefully
in evaluating the Company and its business.
POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The Company's operating
results are affected by a number of factors, including the timing and mix of
manufacturing projects, capacity utilization, price competition, the degree of
automation that can be used in the assembly process, the efficiencies that can
be achieved by the Company in managing inventories and fixed assets, the timing
of orders from customers, fluctuations in demand for customer products, the
timing of expenditures, customer product delivery requirements, increased costs
and shortages of components or labor and economic conditions generally. All of
these factors can cause substantial fluctuations in the Company's operating
results. The Company's expenditures (including, but not limited to, equipment,
inventory and labor) are based, in part, on its expectations as to future
revenues and, to a large extent, are fixed in the short term. Accordingly, the
Company has in the past and may in the future be unable to adjust spending in a
timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenues, and any
significant shortfall of demand in relation to the Company's expectations or any
material delay or cancellation of customer orders could have an almost immediate
material adverse effect on the Company's operating results. As a result of these
and other factors, it is possible that in some future period, the Company's
operating results could fail to meet the expectations of public market analysts
or investors. In such events, or in the event that adverse conditions prevail or
are perceived to prevail generally or with respect to the Company's business,
the trading price of Company's Common Stock could drop significantly.
The Company's gross profit as a percentage of sales in future periods
may be materially adversely affected by various factors associated with the
Company's production of new product lines, acquisition of new manufacturing
equipment and continued dependence on turnkey contracts (and the inventory risks
inherent therein). Expansion of capacity will result in a higher fixed cost
structure which will require increased revenue
8
<PAGE> 9
and/or significant improvements in operating efficiencies in order to maintain
historical gross margins. Additionally, the commencement of production of new
products typically involves significant startup costs, lower yields and other
inefficiencies. New products do not generate gross margins as high as products
which have been in volume production for several months. The Company also
expects that competition may continue to intensify, which could also result in
lower gross margins.
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION; DEPENDENCE ON INDUSTRY TRENDS. A small number
of customers are currently responsible for a significant portion of the
Company's net sales. In the six months ended January 31, 1999 and fiscal years
ended July 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company's four largest customers in such
periods accounted for approximately 68%, 56%, 61%, and 63%, respectively, of
consolidated net sales. Sales to Micron Electronics, Inc., with whom business
was discontinued in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, accounted for
approximately 24% and 21% of the Company's revenues for the fiscal years ended
July 31, 1998 and July 31, 1997, respectively. Any material delay, cancellation
or reduction of orders from these or other customers could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The percentage of the Company's sales to its major customers may
fluctuate from period to period. Significant reductions in sales to any of these
customers, or failure to pay in full by any customer of amounts owed to the
Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations. In addition, customer contracts can be canceled and volume levels
may be materially changed or delayed. The timely replacement of canceled,
delayed or reduced contracts with new business cannot be assured. These risks
are exacerbated because the Company's sales are to customers in segments of the
electronics industry subject to rapid technological change and product
obsolescence. The factors affecting these industries in general, or any of the
Company's major customers in particular, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations.
RELATIONSHIP WITH CORTELCO. The Company has had numerous transactions
with its former affiliate and customer, Cortelco Systems Holding Corp.
("Cortelco"). David S.Lee, a director of the Company, is also a director of
Cortelco, and is the largest stockholder of each of the Company and Cortelco.
Transactions between the Company and Cortelco include the transfer of certain
assets and related liabilities associated with the telephone business to
Cortelco in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of Cortelco in
August 1993 and the execution of an agreement to provide certain products and
related support services to customers of Cortelco. The Company has the right to
require that the Preferred Stock be redeemed by Cortelco beginning on August 1,
1999 in five annual installments of $2.5 million each. There can be no
assurances that such payments will be made by Cortelco on a timely basis, if at
all.
Historically, Cortelco has not been as current as other customers in
making payments on its trade accounts with the Company. In July 1998, the
Company converted certain older accounts receivable from Cortelco totaling $2.0
million into a note receivable. Under the terms of the note, Cortelco has agreed
to pay the balance over a three-year term with monthly payments of $50,000, plus
interest and a final installment of $200,000 due at the end of the three-year
period. Interest accrues on the note at a rate of 9.0% per annum. As of January
31, 1999, Cortelco had made all payments required at that date under the terms
of the note. The Company continues to provide credit for manufacturing services
sold to Cortelco in the form of trade receivables, and as of January 31, 1999,
had approximately $5,109,000 in trade receivables from Cortelco. Cortelco's
payments on its trade accounts with the Company have in the past been late, and
there can be no assurances that such payments or payments on the note will in
the future be made on a timely basis, if at all.
COMPETITION. The electronics manufacturing services industry is
comprised of a large number of companies, several of which have achieved
substantial market share. The Company also faces competition from current and
prospective customers, which evaluate the Company's capabilities against the
merits of manufacturing products internally. The Company competes with different
companies depending on the type of service or geographic area. Certain of the
Company's competitors have broader geographic breadth. They also may have
greater manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing
resources than the Company. The
9
<PAGE> 10
Company believes that the primary basis of competition in its targeted markets
is manufacturing technology, quality, responsiveness, and the provision of
value-added services and price. To be competitive, the Company must provide
technologically advanced manufacturing services, high product quality levels,
flexible delivery schedules and reliable delivery of finished products on a
timely and price competitive basis. The Company currently may be at a
competitive disadvantage as to price when compared to manufacturers with lower
cost structures, particularly with respect to manufacturers with established
facilities in regions where labor costs are lower.
SHORTAGES OF ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS. Most of the Company's net sales
are derived from turnkey manufacturing services in which the Company procures
components from third-party suppliers and bears the risk of component shortages.
The electronics industry has been characterized by shortages from time to time
in semiconductor and other components, which shortages have led to allocations
by third-party suppliers. The Company's inability to procure desired supplies of
certain components has in the past led, and may in the future lead, to some
delays in shipments by the Company to its customers. These delays to date have
not had a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. If
these component shortages persist or intensify, however, the Company may not be
able to secure quantities required to fulfill customer orders, which could
result in delays in shipments, or cancellation or delays in customer orders,
each of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations.
MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully manage the integration of new business and the growth, if any, of
the Company's operations. In addition, the Company may experience certain
inefficiencies as it manages geographically dispersed operations. Should the
Company increase its expenditures in anticipation of a future level of sales
which does not materialize, its results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. On occasion, customers may require rapid increases in
production which can place an excessive burden on the Company's resources. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be capable of meeting the demands
placed upon the Company's resources by these or any other customers.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. The Company is subject to a variety of
environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal
of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process. Any failure by the
Company to comply with present and future regulations could subject it to future
liabilities or the suspension of production. In addition, such regulations could
restrict the Company's ability to expand its facilities or could require the
Company to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expenses to
comply with environmental regulations. In this regard, see "Legal Proceedings."
RISK OF DEFECTS. The electronics products manufactured for customers by
the Company are highly complex and may at times contain undetected design and/or
manufacturing errors or failures. Such defects have been discovered in the past,
and there can be no assurance that, despite the Company's quality control and
quality assurance efforts, such defects will not occur in the future. If such
defects occur in quantities or too frequently, the Company's business and
operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL AND SKILLED EMPLOYEES. The Company's
continued success depends to a large extent upon the efforts and abilities of
key managerial and technical employees. The loss of services of certain key
personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's
business also depends upon its ability to continue to attract and retain senior
managers and sales representatives and other skilled employees. Failure to do so
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF MARKET PRICE OF COMMON STOCK. The trading price
of the Company's Common Stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response
to variations in quarterly operating results, general conditions in the
electronics manufacturing services industry as well as the industries of the
Company's customers, and other factors. In addition, the stock market is subject
to price and volume fluctuations which affect the market price for many high
technology companies in particular, and which may or may not be unrelated to
operating
10
<PAGE> 11
performance. There can be no assurance as to the trading price of the Company's
Common Stock at any time in the future.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Effective January 31, 1999, the Company entered into a new bank loan
agreement comprised of a revolving credit line of $30 million and a $5 million
term loan. The loan agreement contains financial covenants related to the
Company's net worth and debt service coverage and restricts capital
expenditures. At January 31, 1999, total borrowings under this facility were
$17.2 million under the revolving credit line and $5.0 million under the term
loan.
The Company leases its U.S manufacturing facilities and certain
equipment using both capital and operating lease arrangements. At January 31,
1999, future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable portion of lease
agreements were $18.4 million, of which $6.9 million is scheduled for payment in
the next twelve months.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased from $5.3 million to
$4.2 million during the six months ended January 31, 1999. During this period,
the Company's operations used cash of $102,000 and the Company experienced a
$10.6 million increase in accounts payable, a net loss before depreciation and
amortization of $216,000, a $6.5 million increase in inventories, a $3.8 million
increase in accounts receivable and a $246,000 change in other assets and
liabilities.
The Company used cash of $1.6 million in investing activities during
the six months ended January 31, 1999, including $435,000 for payments on the
Hermosillo, Mexico facilities. Cash expended in other investing activities was
principally to improve leaseholds and to acquire manufacturing equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended January
31, 1999 totaled $605,000 on a net basis. Cash provided included $2.1 million
from the restructure of long-term debt and $330,000 from the issuance of
approximately 81,240 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Company's
stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Cash used included $879,000 to
reduce outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit line and
$938,000 to repay long-term debt and capital lease obligations.
The Company's needs for financing in the next twelve months may include
increases in working capital to support sales growth, if any, and expansion of
capacity (plant and equipment). During fiscal 1998, the Company purchased a
4.4-acre tract of land in Hermosillo, Mexico and a 110,000 square foot
manufacturing plant located at this site. The final payment of approximately
$200,000 for this facility is expected to be made in the third quarter of fiscal
1999 using cash on hand and funds available under the Company's lines of credit,
although there can be no assurance of this. The Company expects to meet its
other short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by
operations, vendor credit terms, operating lease arrangements and short-term
borrowings under its lines of credit.
The Company from time to time evaluates possible business acquisitions,
facility additions and expansion of capabilities. The Company may seek
additional financing as needed to pursue growth opportunities, including any
expansion of capacity; however, there can be no assurance that such financing
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any
manufacturing equipment, computer programs or computer hardware used by the
Company that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
11
<PAGE> 12
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to operate
equipment, process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal
business activities.
The Company determined in its initial assessment that only
insignificant portions of hardware and software required modification or
replacement so that those systems would properly utilize dates beyond December
31, 1999. The Company presently believes that due to completion of minor
modifications to existing hardware and software, the Year 2000 Issue has been
substantially mitigated, although there can be no assurance of this.
The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 Issue involved four phases;
assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. The Company believes that
it has completed its assessment of all material systems that could be affected
by the Year 2000 Issue. The completed assessment indicated that most of the
Company's significant information technology systems and software and hardware
used in manufacturing equipment (hereafter also referred to as operating
equipment) would not be materially affected, although there can be no assurance
of this. Further, the Company does not conduct a significant portion of its
vendor purchase transactions through systems that interface directly with
suppliers.
For its information technology exposures, the Company believes that it
has completed the remediation phase and all software reprogramming and
replacement for all material systems. To date, the Company believes that it has
completed its testing and has implemented all of its remediated systems.
However, there can be no assurance that such implementation has resolved all
related Year 2000 issues.
For its operating equipment exposures, the Company believes that it has
completed the remediation phase of the resolution process, although there can be
no assurance of this. Testing of this equipment is more difficult than its
information technology systems and the Company is now in the late stages of this
task. The Company is scheduled to complete its testing and implementation of
affected equipment by March 31, 1999; however, there can be no assurance that
such schedules will be met.
With respect to third parties, the Company currently has no material
systems that interface directly with significant vendors. The Company has
queried its important suppliers regarding Year 2000 readiness but to date is not
aware of any problems that would materially impact results of operations,
liquidity or capital resources. However, the Company has no means of ensuring
that these third parties will be Year 2000 ready and any inability of those
parties to complete their Year 2000 resolution process could materially impact
the Company.
The Company has primarily utilized internal resources to reprogram, to
replace, test and implement, as needed, the software and operating equipment for
Year 2000 modifications. The total cost of the Year 2000 project is not expected
to materially affect the Company's business or results of operations. However,
there can be no guarantee that unexpected events will not occur and actual
results could be materially adversely affected. Specific factors that might
cause such material adverse effects include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes and similar uncertainties.
EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Accounting Standards Executive Committee has issued Statement of
Position ("SOP") 98-5, Reporting on the Costs and Start-up Activities, effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 (fiscal 2000 for the
Company). SOP 98-5 requires the costs of start-up activities and organization
costs to be expensed as incurred. In fiscal 1998, the Company capitalized $1.2
million of start-up costs incurred to begin manufacturing operations in
Hermosillo, Mexico. The Company plans to amortize 20%, or $240,000, in fiscal
1999 and expense the balance of $960,000 in fiscal 2000 upon adoption of SOP
98-5.

CMC INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to
its business.
In December 1993, the Company retained the services of an industrial
safety consultant to assist in quantifying the potential exposure to the Company
in connection with clean-up and related costs of a former manufacturing site,
commonly known as the ITT Telecommunications site in Milan, Tennessee and more
particularly described as a 50.1 acre tract surveyed by Construction Layout
Service of Milan, Tennessee. The consultant initially estimated that the cost to
remove the contaminated soil and deliver it to an appropriate hazardous waste
site would be approximately $200,000. Based upon this advice, the Company
subsequently entered into a voluntary agreement to investigate the site with the
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. In addition, the Company
agreed to reimburse a tenant of the site $115,000 for expenditures previously
incurred to investigate environmental conditions at the site. The Company
recorded a total provision of $320,000 based on these estimates. In fiscal 1995,
an environmental expert concluded that the cost of a full study combined with
short and long-term remediation of the site may cost between $3 and $4 million.
During fiscal 1996, the State of Tennessee's Department of Environment and
Conservation named certain potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") in relation
to the former facility. The Company was not named as a PRP. However, Alcatel,
Inc., a PRP named by the State of Tennessee's Department of Environment and
Conservation and a former owner of the Company, is seeking indemnification from
the Company. To date, Alcatel has not filed any legal proceedings to enforce its
indemnification claim. However, there can be no assurance that Alcatel will not
initiate such proceedings or that any other third parties will not assert claims
against the Company relating to remediation of the site. In the event any such
proceedings are initiated or any such claim is made, the Company believes it has
numerous defenses which it will vigorously assert. There can be no assurance
that if any proceedings are initiated or any such claim is asserted, defense or
resolution of such matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In connection with a fiscal 1996 staff reduction, certain terminated
employees subsequently claimed that the Company had engaged in age
discrimination in their dismissal and sought damages of varying amounts. The
Company defended the actual and threatened claims vigorously during fiscal 1998
incurring approximately $275,000 in legal costs over the course of the year. On
August 6, 1998, a judgment was rendered in the favor of one plaintiff in the
amount of $127,000, which the Company subsequently settled for $112,000. A
second plaintiff's claim for $53,000 was filed and subsequently settled for
$48,500. The EEOC has negotiated with the Company to reach a monetary settlement
for other potential claimants. Without admitting any liability, the Company has
entered into a Conciliation Agreement with the EEOC and agreed to pay
approximately $500,000 to settle all such claims and limit future litigation
costs. As a result of these events and the significant ongoing costs to defend
these claims, in October 1998, the Company concluded that its interest would be
best served to settle all
13
<PAGE> 14
such matters. The Company has reserved $975,000 to resolve all such claims,
which represents its best estimate of funds to ultimately be paid to such
claimants. This charge was recorded in the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998.
