See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management of Chyron Corporation (the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1998 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The December 31, 1997 figures included herein were derived from such audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements to conform to the 1998 method of presentation. 2. NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 (ASOP 97-2@), "Software Revenue Recognition." This SOP provides guidance on when revenue should be recognized for licensing, selling, leasing, or otherwise marketing computer software. The adoption of SOP 97- 2 did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998. During 1997 and 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 129, Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure, SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and SFAS No. 132, Employers Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits. These accounting standards are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and require restatement of disclosures for earlier periods. The Company will adopt the new requirements in its annual financial statements in 1998. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of these new standards will have a material impact on information previously disclosed in the Company=s consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the provisions of the standard on January 1, 2000. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on results of operations, financial position or liquidity. 3. PRODUCT LINE RESTRUCTURING During the second quarter of 1998, as a result of continued poor operating results and the inability of the Company=s Concerto Division to meet revenue and operating targets, management determined that it would be in the Company=s best interest to implement a restructuring plan and refocus on its core business of graphics, routing and automation products for the television broadcast, cable and post production industries. Such restructuring plan involved the disposal of the Concerto and Trilogy Divisions, the modification of its investment in RT-SET and the reorganization of the Company=s core product sales force to be complimentary to its new sales and marketing strategy. As a result, the Company recorded a $3,979,000 charge to operations during the second quarter of 1998. Such charge resulted from a write-down of assets to estimated net realizable value and employee severance and selling costs as a result of such restructuring plans. Additional amounts were accrued for litigation and other costs. 4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable is stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,423,000 and $3,124,000 at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. 5. INVENTORIES Inventories, net of obsolescence reserves, consist of the following (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 1998 1997 Finished goods $ 7,735 $12,346 Work-in-process 3,027 9,303 Raw material 8,318 4,891 $ 19,080 $26,540 6. SALE OF TRILOGY BROADCAST, LIMITED On August 19, 1998, the Company completed the sale of Trilogy Broadcast, Limited (Trilogy), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pro-Bel, Limited, to the management of Trilogy. The Company received gross proceeds of 2.0 million British Pounds Sterling, an interest bearing note for 300,000 British Pounds Sterling and a 19% interest in the new company that results from this transaction. This transaction resulted in an overall gain of approximately $1.2 million. As a result of this sale, the Company=s assets and liabilities decreased by approximately $2.9 million and $800,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, Trilogy contributed sales, gross profit and operating income of $2.9 million, $1.6 million and $20,000, respectively. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS From time to time, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, changes in the industry, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for such forward- looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company's business include, without limitation, the following: product concentration in a mature market, dependence on the emerging digital market and the industry's transition to DTV and HDTV, consumer acceptance of DTV and HDTV, resistance within the broadcast or cable industry to implement DTV and HDTV technology, rapid technological changes, new technologies that could render certain Chyron products to be obsolete, a highly competitive environment, competitors with significantly greater financial resources, new product introductions by competitors, seasonality, fluctuations in quarterly operating results, expansion into new markets and the Company's ability to successfully implement its acquisition and strategic alliance strategy. Results of Operations Overview This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements including the Notes thereto: Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $22.1 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 6%, over the $23.5 million reported for the third quarter of 1997. This decrease was primarily due to a loss in volume from the sale of Trilogy Broadcast, Limited (Trilogy) and a decline in international graphic and international Pro-Bel sales. An increase in Pro- Bel America revenues of 62% offset a portion of this decline. Gross profit decreased to $10.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The decrease of $487,000, or 4.5%, from the $10.9 million reported for the third quarter of 1997 was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales for the third quarter of 1998. Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased to 47.4% in 1998 versus 46.5% in 1997 mainly as a result of the change in the product mix. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $367,000, or 5%, to $7.3 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to $6.9 million for the third quarter of 1997. This growth in overall SG&A expenses is directly related to the continued efforts to improve customer service and to focus on sales and marketing initiatives, specifically directed at supporting and growing the Pro-Bel product lines in America and the establishment of the Chyron/Pro-Bel sales office in France. Gross research and development (R&D) costs increased by $944,000 during the third quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Increases were incurred at both Chyron and Pro-Bel as the Company continues to focus its attention on new product development to address the FCC ruling requiring broadcasters to utilize digital advanced television transmission beginning in 1998. In connection with the restructuring plan implemented in the second quarter of 1998, the Company completed the sale of Trilogy to its management on August 19, 1998. This transaction resulted in an overall gain of approximately $1.2 million. Interest and other expense, net increased primarily as a result of foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $150,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, offset by a decrease in interest expense related to a lower average outstanding debt balance. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $113,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This is primarily due to a foreign tax loss resulting from an overall reduced gain on the sale of Trilogy and the timing of other taxable transactions. The Company's effective tax rate in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was 37%. Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $64.7 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2%, over the $63.6 million reported for the first nine months of 1997. This increase was a result of substantial increases in Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
