NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 1997 and 1996
are unaudited but include all adjustments which the Company considers necessary
for a fair presentation of its financial position at those dates and its results
of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months then ended. It
is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1996.
2. LICENSE FEES
Fully paid-up license fees are recognized in income at the time the agreement is
consummated, net of legal fees and expenses, when the Company has no future
obligation related to the agreement. License fees related to agreements in which
payments are received over future periods and contingent on the patents
remaining valid are recognized in income, net of legal fees and expenses, over
the life of the respective patent.
During the second quarter ended April 30, 1997, the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, IMS Technology, Inc. (IMS), entered into a settlement with Fanuc,
Ltd., a major manufacturer of machine tools and computer numerical control (CNC)
systems and one of the defendants in the on-going patent infringement litigation
concerning an IMS patent for certain interactive CNC technology originally
developed by the Company. Under the settlement, IMS licensed its patent to Fanuc
and Fanuc made a one-time payment to IMS. The Company also entered into a
license agreement in the second quarter for the use of the interactive CNC
patent with Siemens, A.G., an international manufacturing company, and a
supplier to the Company, which was not a party to the patent litigation. The
Company recorded license fee income of approximately $5,100,000 after foreign
withholding taxes and expenses in its second fiscal quarter ended April 30,
1997, nearly all of which was attributable to the Fanuc settlement.
3. PROVISION FOR FOREIGN INCOME TAXES
The provision for foreign income taxes includes $896,000 which represents
foreign withholding tax on a payment received in the second fiscal quarter of
1997 for a license fee settlement. The remainder of the expense is income tax
related to a foreign subsidiary.
4. HEDGING
The U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of outstanding foreign currency
forward exchange contracts was approximately $11,103,000 as of April 30, 1997
and $12,645,000 as of October 31, 1996. Deferred gains related to hedges of
intercompany sales commitments were approximately $250,000 as of April 30, 1997.
Contracts outstanding at April 30, 1997 mature at various times through October
31, 1997.
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, which includes the effects of outstanding stock
options computed using the treasury stock method. Such common stock equivalents
totaled 124,000 and 135,000 shares for the three and six month periods ended
April 30, 1997, respectively.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128) which changes the computation
for earnings per share (EPS). SFAS 128 replaces primary EPS with Basic EPS and
replaces fully dilutive EPS with Dilutive EPS. Basic EPS differs from Primary
EPS as Basic EPS does not consider dilution for potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted EPS uses an average share price for the period instead of the greater of
the average share price or end-of-period share price as currently used for fully
dilutive EPS. SFAS 128 is effective for fiscal 1998 and earlier adoption is not
permitted. Basic EPS computed under SFAS 128 for the three and six months ended
April 30, 1997 was $.95 and $1.10, respectively. Dilutive EPS computed under
SFAS 128 for the three and six months ended April 30, 1997 was $.93 and $1.08,
respectively.
6. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $777,000 as of April 30, 1997 and
$785,000 as of October 31, 1996.
7. INVENTORIES
Inventories, priced at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market
are summarized below (in thousands):

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In May 1997, IMS, entered into a settlement and license agreement with
Southwestern Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of CNC systems and one of the
parties to the ongoing patent infringement litigation. Under the settlement, IMS
licensed its patent to Southwestern and Southwestern made a one-time payment to
IMS. The Company expects to recognize income of approximately $500,000 after
legal expenses as a result of this settlement in its third fiscal quarter ended
July 31, 1997.
On June 12, 1997, the Company received a commitment for a new unsecured
multi-year revolving credit facility expiring May 1, 2000, that would permit
borrowing at any one time outstanding of up to $25.0 million (inclusive of
outstanding letters of credit of up to $12.0 million), reducing to $22.5 million
at November 1, 1997. Of such borrowings, up to $5.0 million may be drawn in
designated European currencies. The new facility would include fewer financial
covenants and restrictions and is expected to expire May 1, 2000, two years
following the scheduled expiration of the current facility. Under the new
facility, interest on all outstanding borrowings would be payable at LIBOR plus
an amount ranging from .75% to 2.0% based on a prescribed formula, or at the
Company's option, prime. The commitment is subject to the agreement of holder of
the Company's senior notes to substantially similar terms and to execution of
mutually satisfactory documents.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward-looking
statements". For a description of risks and uncertainties related to
forward-looking statements, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended October 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 1996
Total sales and service fees for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased
$3.5 million, or 13.4%, from the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Of the total
decrease, $474,000 reflected the effects of weaker European currencies when
converting foreign currency revenues into U.S. dollars for financial reporting
purposes. Notwithstanding the decline in revenues, net income increased by $5.2
million, a six-fold increase over the corresponding 1996 period, due primarily
to the receipt of license fees. Net income also reflected the benefits of
improved margins and a substantial reduction in interest expense.
Sales of CNC-operated machine tools in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 totaled
$14.0 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 18.7%, from the corresponding 1996
period. Sales of CNC systems and software (which do not include systems and
software that are sold as an integral part of a machine tool) totaled $4.7
million in the second quarter of 1997, essentially unchanged from the
corresponding 1996 period. Sales of service parts and service fees were $3.9
million in the 1997 second quarter, slightly below amounts recorded in the
comparable 1996 period.
The decline in sales of CNC-operated machine tools occurred principally in the
domestic market where the decrease totaled $2.9 million, or 35%. Both the first
and second quarters of fiscal 1996 were marked by unusually high levels of
domestic shipments, as increasing availability of products from the Company's
contract manufacturers permitted an accelerated reduction of a high backlog of
unfulfilled orders that existed at the end of fiscal 1995. Shipments in the
corresponding periods in 1997 did not have the benefits of a similar backlog
and, therefore, were more reflective of current demand. European sales of
machine tools in the second quarter of 1997, exclusive of the effect of weaker
European currencies, increased approximately 9.0% over the prior year period.
This increase was offset, however, by a decline in sales in South East Asia as a
result of current economic softness in that market.
New order bookings during the second quarter of fiscal 1997 were $23.0 million,
a decrease of approximately 4% from the $24.0 million reported for the
corresponding period of fiscal 1996 and slightly higher than the $21.2 million
reported for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Although the U.S. dollar value of
machine tool orders during the 1997 second quarter increased slightly over the
corresponding 1996 period, the increase was more than offset by a decline in
orders for CNC control systems from original equipment manufacturers and from
the metal fabrication industry. International orders represented approximately
50% of new order bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to 47%
for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and 49% for the second quarter of
fiscal 1996. Backlog at April 30, 1997 was $7.5 million compared to $7.3 million
at January 31, 1997.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1997
increased to 30.4% compared to 27.7% for the corresponding period in fiscal
1996. The improvement in margin is attributable to the combined effects of an
increased percentage of higher-margin European sales in the total sales mix,
increased domestic and international sales of higher-margin products introduced
in the latter part of fiscal 1996 and increased customer demand for software
options when purchasing machine tools.
Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased approximately
$251,000, or 31.8%, from the amount reported for the corresponding 1996 period
primarily due to a substantial reduction in outstanding borrowings.
License fee income for the second fiscal quarter was attributable almost
entirely to the settlement between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, IMS
Technology, Inc. (IMS) and Fanuc, Ltd. in March 1997. The Company expects to
recognize income of approximately $500,000 after legal expenses in the quarter
ending July 31, 1997 as a result of a settlement between IMS and Southwestern
Industries, Inc., a major manufacturer of machine tools and CNC control systems.
As of April 30, 1997, license fees of approximately $1.3 million, net of legal
fees, related to prior settlements and license agreements have been deferred and
will be recognized in income over the 5 year remaining life of the licensed
patent. In addition, under a license agreement with Siemens A.G., a principal
supplier to the Company, approximately $750,000 is expected to be received in
future periods in the form of discounts on purchases by the Company, which will
be reflected as a reduction of the cost of such purchases.
Although settlements have been reached with several of the parties in the
on-going IMS patent infringement litigation, the remaining parties are
continuing to contest the IMS claims. IMS also has provided notice of
infringement to approximately 15 companies that are not parties to the
litigation and is engaged in active licensing discussions with six of those
companies. There can be no assurance that IMS will enter into license agreements
or settlements with any of those companies or any of the remaining parties in
the pending litigation, or that the terms of any future licenses or settlements
will be similar to those previously entered into.
The provision for foreign income taxes is the result of foreign withholding
taxes of $896,000 related to the Fanuc license payment received during the
second quarter of 1997.
Six Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended April 30, 1996
Total sales and service fees for the first half of fiscal 1997 decreased $4.5
million, or 9.0%, from the first half of fiscal 1996. Of the total decrease,
$751,000 reflected the effects of weaker European currencies when converting
foreign currency revenues into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.
Notwithstanding the decline in revenues, net income increased by $5.6 million,
or approximately 275%, primarily as a result of license fee income, improved
margins and a substantial reduction in interest expense.
Sales of CNC-operated machine tools, which totaled $27.6 million in the first
half of fiscal 1997, were 15.7% below the $32.6 million recorded during the
corresponding fiscal 1996 period. The decrease was experienced both
domestically, with a decline of $3.2 million, or 18.2%, and in Europe, with a
decline (inclusive of currency translation effects) of $1.3 million, or 7.5%.
The first half of fiscal 1996 was marked by an unusually high level of
shipments, as the increasing availability of products from the Company's
contract manufacturers permitted an accelerated reduction of the high backlog
that had resulted from the combined effects of a strengthening machine tool
market, the introduction of the Company's Advantage(R) series product line and
capacity constraints on the part of the Company's contract manufacturers during
fiscal 1995. Sales of CNC systems and software (which do not include systems and
software that are sold as an integral part of a machine tool) increased during
the first half of fiscal 1997 by $777,000, or 8.5%, primarily due to increased
shipments of Autobend(R) control products in response to improved worldwide
market conditions and domestic promotional programs. Sales of service parts and
service fees were unchanged from levels for the first half of 1996.
New order bookings during the first half of fiscal 1997 were $44.2 million, a
slight increase from the $44.0 million reported for the first half of fiscal
1996. New order bookings for machine tools increased 8.9% during the first half
of fiscal 1997 but were offset by a reduction in new order bookings for CNC
systems. Backlog at April 30, 1997 was $7.5 million compared to $9.0 million at
October 31, 1996.
As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 29.7% in the first half of
1997, compared to 27.8% for the corresponding period in fiscal 1996. The
improvement in margin is attributable to the combined effects of an increased
percentage of higher-margin European sales in the total sales mix, increased
domestic and European sales of higher-margin products introduced in the latter
part of fiscal 1996, and increased sales of software options in connection with
sales of machine tools.
Interest expense for the first half of fiscal 1997 decreased approximately
$859,000, or 44.8%, from the amount reported for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1996, primarily due to a substantial reduction in outstanding borrowings
and the inclusion in the 1996 period of $240,000 of nonrecurring fees to the
Company's lenders.
License fee income for the first half of fiscal 1997 was almost entirely
attributable to the settlement agreement with Fanuc, Ltd. in March 1997. The
provision for foreign income tax is primarily the result of foreign withholding
taxes related to this settlement.
The Company manages its foreign currency exposure through the use of foreign
currency forward exchange contracts. The Company does not speculate in the
financial markets and, therefore, does not enter into these contracts for
trading purposes. The Company also moderates its currency risk related to
significant purchase commitments with certain foreign vendors through price
adjustment agreements that provide for a sharing of, or otherwise limit, the
potential adverse effect of currency fluctuations on the costs of purchased
products. The results of these programs achieved management's objectives for the
first half of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996. See Note 4 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 30, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million
compared to $1.9 million at October 31, 1996. Cash provided by operations
totaled $4.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to $4.1
million in the same period of fiscal 1996. Cash flow from operations was
enhanced by approximately $5.1 million of license fee income, net of legal fees
and foreign withholding taxes, primarily due to the Fanuc settlement received in
the quarter. Exclusive of net license fees, $400,000 of cash was used for
operations in the 1997 second quarter, due primarily to increased working
capital resulting from increased finished machine tool products on hand and
reduced accounts payable related to the timing of payment for products received
in the previous quarter. The Company will begin reducing its scheduled purchases
of machine tool products from its contract manufacturers in July 1997 in order
to reduce finished goods inventories in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 and
the first half of fiscal 1998, which will favorably impact future cash flow from
operations.
Working capital was $24.1 million at April 30, 1997, compared to $20.8 million
at October 31, 1996. During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, borrowings under
the Company's revolving credit facilities decreased by $3.9 million, primarily
as a result of repayments made with license fees. As of April 30, 1997, $11.6
million was available to the Company for either direct borrowings or commercial
letters of credit.
Capital investments for the quarter and six months ended April 30, 1997
consisted principally of expenditures for software development projects. Other
investments included $190,000 related to the Company's investment in Hurco
Automation, Ltd. (HAL). As of April 30, 1997, the Company has a commitment to
invest an additional $364,000 in HAL through fiscal 1999. The investment
activities for the six months ended April 30, 1997 were funded through cash flow
from operations.
Under the agreements for the Company's credit facilities, $3.0 million of term
loan payments are due and payable over the twelve month period ending April 30,
1998. The agreements require the Company to maintain a prescribed working
capital borrowing base and a minimum net worth. The agreements also establish
maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, restrict capital expenditures
and investments and prohibit the payment of cash dividends or the redemption of
capital stock. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants at April
30, 1997.
Management believes that cash flow from operations and borrowings under its
credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital needs
for the twelve months ending April 30, 1998.
On June 12, 1997, the Company received a commitment for a new unsecured
multi-year revolving credit facility expiring May 1, 2000, that would permit
borrowing at any one time outstanding of up to $25.0 million (inclusive of
outstanding letters of credit of up to $12.0 million), reducing to $22.5 million
at November 1, 1997. Of such borrowings, up to $5.0 million may be drawn in
designated European currencies. The new facility would include fewer financial
covenants and restrictions and is expected to expire May 1, 2000, two years
following the scheduled expiration of the current facility. Under the new
facility, interest on all outstanding borrowings would be payable at LIBOR plus
an amount ranging from .75% to 2.0% based on a prescribed formula, or at the
Company's option, prime. The commitment is subject to the agreement of holder of
the Company's senior notes to substantially similar terms and to execution of
mutually satisfactory documents. There can be no assurance that a satisfactory
definitive agreement will be executed.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, IMS and the Company are parties to a number of pending
legal proceedings involving patent infringement and other claims in connection
with an IMS patent for certain interactive CNC technology originally developed
by the Company (the IMS actions). Since March 1997, the Company has previously
announced settlements with two parties to the IMS actions, Fanuc, Ltd. and
Southwestern Industries, Inc. The terms of these settlements are discussed
elsewhere herein. IMS has agreed to dismiss all infringement claims against
Fanuc and Southwestern. Other than the settlements with Fanuc and Southwestern,
there have been no other material developments in the IMS actions since those
described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October
31, 1996.
The Company is involved in various other claims and lawsuits arising in the
ordinary course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is
expected to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
