PART I. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 1.4 Notes to Financial Statements
1 . General
The interim consolidated financial statements presented have been prepared by
Stocker & Yale, Inc. (the "Company") without audit and, in the opinion of the
management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a
fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three month and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, (b) the financial position
at June 30, 1996, and (c) the cash flows for the six month periods ended June
30, 1996 and June 30, 1995. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year.
The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 1995, has been
derived from the consolidated financial statements that have been audited by the
Company's independent public accountants. The consolidated financial statements
and notes are condensed as permitted by Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain
information included in the annual financial statements and notes of the
Company. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
Company's Annual report on Form 10-KSB.
2. Debt
The 13.5% Subordinated Notes Payable of $1,000,000, which matured on May 6,
1996, were refinanced by a new issue of Subordinated Notes totaling $1,350,000.
The new notes mature on May 1, 2001, bear interest at 7.25% and are convertible
into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $7.375 per share.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995.
Three-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
Revenues declined $592,536 from $3,158,634 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to
$2,566,098 in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The decline was due primarily to
reduced sales of the Company's printer and recorder products, which declined
$295,299 from $638,863 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $343,564 in the
equivalent period in the current year, as the Company's OEM customers are
experiencing economy-related slowed volumes and inventory overstocks. Sales to
the U. S. government declined $175,498 to $80,250 in the second quarter of 1996
from $255,748 in the second quarter of 1995 during which the Company recorded
$244,928 in revenues against a government contract for borescopes. Revenues
increased 25% in the Company's industrial task lighting products from $457,634
in the second quarter of 1995 to $576,002 in the second quarter of 1996, largely
as a result of increased selling efforts in this market.
Gross Profit declined from $1,173,682 in the second quarter of 1995 to $931,805
in the second quarter of 1996, primarily due to reduced cost absorption
associated with lower revenues. Operating costs decreased from $997,793 in the
second quarter of 1995 to $927,675 in the second quarter of 1996, and interest
expense decreased from $179,685 to $147,971 in such periods, respectively.
<PAGE>
Six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
Revenues declined $871,228 from $6,447,452 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to
$5,576,224 in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Approximately 65% of the sales
drop was experienced in the Company's printer and recorder business, which
declined $569,283 from $1,295,392 in the six months ended June 30, 1995 to
$726,109 in the equivalent period in the current year, largely due to the
Company's OEM customers experiencing economy-related lower volumes and inventory
overstocks in 1996 and to the fact that1995 sales benefited from final
deliveries against a large order from a single customer. The remainder of the
revenue decline is largely attributable to reduced sales of the Company's
electronic ballasts which declined $404,637 to $260,073 in the first six months
of 1996 from $664,710 in the first six months of 1995. Reduced sales in this
product line resulted from the Company's deliberate withdrawal from this market,
which has become increasingly commodity price-driven, to focus on sales of
higher margin products. Primarily as a result of this redirection, sales of
industrial task lighting products increased 22% from $1,000,464 in the six
months ended June 30, 1995 to $1,221,068 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Gross Profit declined from $2,436,601 in the first half of 1995 to $1,996,772 in
the first half of 1996, primarily due to reduced cost absorption associated with
lower revenues. Operating costs decreased from $1,993,757 to $1,931,456, and
interest expense decreased from $334,288 to $300,140 in such periods,
respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates is primarily
due to non-deductible amortization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company finances its operations primarily through third party credit
facilities and cash from operations. Net cash provided by operations was
$286,800 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $6,266 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.
The Company's primary third party financing relationship is with Fleet National
Bank (the "Bank"). The initial Credit Agreement between the Company and the
Bank, dated March 6, 1995, provided for a Short Term Loan due August 1, 1995, a
Revolving Line of Credit Loan (the "Revolving Loan") due March 31, 1998, and a
Long Term Loan due March 1, 2001. The Short Term Loan was paid as agreed in
August, 1995. The Revolving Loan and the Long Term Loan bear interest at the
Bank's base rate plus 1/2%. At June 30, 1996, there was a total of $3,750,170
borrowed under the agreement.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with
a number of financial covenants including minimum equity, debt service coverage
ratios, debt to equity ratios and minimum net income tests. At March 31, 1996,
the Company was not in compliance with the minimum net income and minimum equity
covenants, and at June 30, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with the
minimum net income covenant. Noncompliance resulted from the operating losses
associated with lower than anticipated revenues. On May 24, 1996, the Bank
granted waivers of the minimum net income and minimum equity covenants as of
March 31, 1996 for the period then ended, and on July 31, 1996, the Bank granted
a waiver of the net income covenant as of June 30, 1996 for the period then
ended. On August 13, 1996, the Credit Agreement was amended to establish new
minimum equity and maximum net loss covenants for the remaining two quarters of
1996 and to set quarterly frequency and limits on the debt service coverage
ratio covenant through maturity.
Company expenditures for capital equipment were $110,073 in the first six months
of 1996 as compared to $73,618 in the same period of 1995.
The 13.5% Subordinated Notes Payable of $1,000,000, which matured on May 6,
1996, were refinanced by a new issue of Subordinated Notes totaling $1,350,000.
The new notes mature on May 1, 2001, bear interest at 7.25% and are convertible
into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $7.375 per share.
Additional proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
<PAGE>
The Mortgage Note Payable of $1,500,000 will mature on September 1, 1996. On
August 8, 1996, the Company received from a local bank a letter of commitment to
refinance the total $1,500,000 at a rate of 1% over the Prime Rate, subject to
certain terms and conditions. Although there can be no assurance that these
conditions will be satisfied, the Company believes that it will be able to
refinance the mortgage prior to the maturity date.
The Company believes that its available financial resources are adequate to meet
its foreseeable working capital, debt service and capital expenditure
requirements.

Re: Waiver of Minimum Net Income and Minimum Consolidated Capital Base Covenants
for the Quarter Ended March 31, 1996
Dear Mr. Becker:
As I told you on the telephone, Stocker & Yale, Inc. (the "Company") will report
a net loss of $84,183 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The loss is a direct
reflection of lower than budgeted revenues (total of $165k short, of which $143k
was short in Hong Kong) and associated loss of gross margin.
As a result of this loss, the Company is out of compliance with subsections
6.01(m) and 6.01(k) of the Credit Agreement dated as of March 6, 1995 (as
amended, the "Agreement"). A Review of Covenant Compliance as of March 31, 1996,
is attached for your information.
The Company requests a Waiver of the Events of Default that have resulted from
non-compliance with Subsections 6.01(m) and 6.01(k) of the Agreement, effective
as of March 31, 1996, and limited to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

Re: Waiver of Minimum Net Income Covenant for the Quarter Ended June 30, 1996
Dear Mr. Becker:
As I told you on the telephone, Stocker & Yale, Inc. (the "Company") will report
a net loss of $198,724 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The loss is a

margin. Detailed analyses of operating results year-to-year and actual versus
budget have been sent to you for your information, along with a Review of
Covenant Compliance as of June 30, 1996.
In reporting this operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Company is out of compliance with subsection 6.01(m) of the Credit Agreement
dated as of March 6, 1995 (as amended, the "Agreement").
The Company requests a Waiver of the Event of Default that has resulted from
non-compliance with Subsections 6.01(m) of the Agreement, effective
