Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 to the Three Months Ended
June 30, 1995
</TABLE>
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $4,250,000, a
decrease of $27,000 or 0.6% compared to $4,277,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995.
Sales of driving and other non-flight simulation products during the three
months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $2,654,000, or 62.4% of total revenues,
an increase of $1,867,000, or 237.2%, over non-flight simulation product
sales in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase was due
primarily to additional revenues generated by the Company's Formula T2
driving controls. Revenues for flight simulation products were $1,596,000
during the three months ended June 30, 1996, or 37.6% of total revenues, a
decrease of $1,895,000 or 54.3%, over the three months ended June 30, 1995.
The decrease in flight simulation products resulted primarily from
additional competition and slower growth in the demand for such products.
<PAGE>
Page 9 of 14
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $1,635,000 a
decrease of $143,000 or 8.0%, compared to $1,778,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 38.5%
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 41.6% for the three months
ended June 30, 1995. The gross profit margin percentage declined primarily
because the Company's more recent product offerings, which comprise an
increasing percentage of total revenues, have a lower gross margin
percentage than certain of the Company's other products.
Research and engineering expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
were $408,000, a decrease of $63,000 or 13.4%, compared to $471,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease resulted primarily
from a reduction in the amount of outside engineering services and lower
expenses associated with patents.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were
$609,000, an increase of $140,000 or 29.9%, compared to $469,000 for the
period ended June 30, 1995. As a percentage of revenues, sales and
marketing expenses were 14.3% for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1996 compared to 11.0% in the same period in the prior year.
The increase resulted primarily from additional marketing personnel and
related expenses, and increased merchandising programs with certain major
retail customers.
Customer service expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996
were $69,000, a decrease of $3,000 or 4.2% compared to $72,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995.
<PAGE>
Page 10 of 14
General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1996 were $478,000, an increase of $72,000 or 17.7%, compared to
$406,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was a
result of higher personnel costs, additional costs associated with being
a public company, and increased facility and other expenses.
Interest income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
was derived from the investment of the remaining proceeds of the public
offering which closed March 3, 1995.
The provision for income taxes for the three month period ended
June 30, 1996 reflects an effective tax rate of 37.6%. This compares to a
tax rate of 36.0% for the three month period ended June 30, 1995.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to the Six Months Ended
June 30, 1995
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $8,814,000, an
increase of $836,000 or 10.5%, compared to $7,978,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.
Sales of driving and other non-flight simulation products during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $5,331,000, or 60.5% of total revenues,
an increase of $3,820,000, or 252.9%, over non-flight simulation product
sales in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase was due
primarily to additional revenues generated by the Company's Formula T2
driving controls. Revenues for flight simulation products were
$3,483,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996, or 39.5% of total
revenues, a decrease of $2,984,000 or 46.1%, over the six months ended
June 30, 1995. The decrease in flight simulation products resulted
primarily from additional competition and slower growth in the demand for
such products.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $3,229,000, a
decrease of $28,000 or 0.9%, compared to $3,257,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995. As a percentage of revenues, the gross profit margin
percentage was 36.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 40.8% for
the six months ended June 30, 1995. The gross profit margin percentage
declined primarily because the Company's more recent product offerings,
which comprise an increasing percentage of total revenues, have a lower
gross margin percentage than certain of the Company's other products.
Research and engineering expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $883,000, an increase of $33,000 or 3.9%, compared to $850,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase resulted primarily from
additional expenses incurred in developing new products and enhancements to
existing products as well as additional personnel expenses.
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$1,157,000, an increase of $228,000 or 24.5%, compared to $929,000 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995. As a percentage of revenues, sales
and marketing expenses were 13.1% for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996 compared to 11.6% in the same period in the prior year.
The increase is primarily attributable to additional personnel expenses and
merchandising programs with certain major retail customers.
Customer service expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996
were $138,000, a decrease of $8,000 or 5.5%, compared to $146,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.
General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996 were $924,000, an increase of $177,000 or 23.7%, compared
to $747,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase resulted
from additional personnel costs and services necessary to support growth,
as well as additional expenses incurred as a result of becoming a public
company.
<PAGE>
Page 11 of 14
Interest income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was
derived from the investment of the remaining proceeds of the public offering
which closed March 3, 1995.
The pro forma provision for income taxes for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996 reflects an effective tax rate of 37.6%. This compares to
a pro forma tax rate of 36.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has financed its activities to date with a combination of cash
flow from operations, borrowed funds, and proceeds from the sale of equity
securities.
The Company has a credit facility with U.S. National Bank of Oregon. Under
present terms, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of $1,000,000 or
75% of certain eligible receivables collateralizing the line of credit.
The credit facility, which is scheduled for review in June 1997, requires
the Company to maintain certain working capital and debt to equity ratios.
At June 30, 1996 there were no borrowings outstanding and the Company was
in compliance with all bank loan covenants.
Net cash used in operating activities was $52,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, resulting primarily from a reduction of payables and accrued
liabilities.
Capital expenditures for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 were
$332,000 compared to $366,000 for the same period in the prior year.
These expenditures were primarily for new product tooling and computer
equipment.
The Company paid cash dividends to its shareholders of $556,000 during the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995. These dividends were primarily for
the payment of previously unpaid shareholders' income tax liabilities with
respect to the Company's pre-tax income through December 31, 1994, the date
of termination of the Company's S corporation election.
The Company believes that available funds together with borrowings under
its credit facility will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated cash
needs during the next 12 month period.
Certain statements in the Form 10-Q contain forward-looking information
(as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)
that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
dependence on new product offerings, product demand and market acceptance
risks, the effect of economic conditions, the impact of competitive
products and pricing, commercialization and technological difficulties,
product development, customer concentration, the results of financing
efforts and dependence on software developers and publisher.
