Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 have been prepared by RELM Wireless Corporation (the Company), without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year. The Company maintains its records on a calendar year basis. The Company's first, second, and third quarters normally end on the Friday closest to the last day of the last month of such quarter, which was March 30, 2001 for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The quarter began on January 1, 2001. 2. Significant Transactions Acquisition of Product Line On March 13, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of certain private radio communications products from Uniden America Corporation (Uniden) for $1,864 which included assumption of certain liabilities related to the product line. Additionally, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $639. The entire purchase price was allocated to tooling and inventory based on their estimated fair values. Uniden will continue to provide manufacturing support for certain Uniden land mobile radio products, which will be marketed by the Company. Acquisition costs included grants of 150,000 shares at $3.25 per share of the Company's common stock valued at $488. Private Placement On March 16, 2000, the Company completed the private placement of $3,250 of convertible subordinated notes. The notes earn interest at 8% per annum, are convertible at $3.25 per share, and are due on December 31, 2004. The registration of the common stock shares underlying the convertible notes was effective June 2000. Portions of the proceeds from this private placement were used to acquire the Uniden land mobile radio products. The debt issuance costs included grants to Simmonds Capital Limited of 50,000 shares at $3.25 per share of the Company's common stock valued at $163 and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $409. The warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of 5 Private Placement-continued $3.25 per share. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $817 in costs related to the private placement. These costs are currently being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the notes. Sale of West Melbourne, Florida Facility and Completion of Manufacturing Agreement On March 24, 2000, the Company completed the sale of its 144 square foot facility located in West Melbourne, Florida for $5,600. The transaction resulted in a net gain of $1,165 and provided approximately $1,600 in cash after related expenses and after payoff of the note and satisfaction of the mortgage on the property. Upon the sale of the building, the Company leased approximately 54 square feet of comparable space at a nearby location. On March 23, 2000, the Company entered into a contract manufacturing agreement for the manufacture of certain land mobile radio subassemblies. Under this agreement, the contract manufacturer employed sixty-eight of the Company's direct manufacturing workforce and agreed to purchase certain existing raw material inventories from the Company as needed, based on material requirements indicated by purchase orders for finished product from the Company. Revenues are recognized as the contract manufacturer uses these inventories. Until that time, they are treated as an asset of the Company and are included in the Company's inventory reserve analysis. 3. Inventories The components of inventory, net of reserves totaling $1,978 at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, consist of the following: March 31 December 31 2001 2000 ------------------ -------------------- Finished goods $ 5,337 $ 5,043 Work in process 690 796 Raw materials 3,080 3,101 ------------------ -------------------- $ 9,107 $ 8,940 ================== ==================== 4. Stockholders' Equity The consolidated changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are as follows:
Additional Common Stock Paid-In Accumulated -------------------------- Shares# Amount Capital Deficit Total -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2000 5,346,174 $ 3,207 $ 21,452 $ (18,299) $6,360 Net loss - - - (287) (287) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at March 31, 2001 5,346,174 $ 3,207 $ 21,452 $ (18,586) $6,073 ==========================================================================
6 5. Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
THREE MONTHS ENDED --------------------------- March 31 March 31 2001 2000 ------------- ----------- Numerator: Net income (loss)(numerator for basic earnings per share) $ (287) $ 391 Effect of dilutive securities: 8% convertible notes - 11 ------------- ----------- Net income (loss) (numerator for dilutive earnings per share) (287) 402 ------------- ----------- Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share-weighted average shares 5,346,174 5,090,405 Effect of dilutive securities: 8% convertible notes - 166,667 Options - 341,297 ------------- ----------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted average shares 5,346,174 5,598,369 ============= =========== Basic earnings per share $ (0.05) $ 0.08 ============= =========== Diluted earnings per share $ (0.05) $ 0.07 ============= ===========
Shares related to options and convertible debt are not included in the computation of loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. 6. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its amendments Statements 137 and 138, in June 1999 and June 2000, respectively. The Statements require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change of fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. The Company adopted these Statements on January 1, 2001, and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. At March 31, 2001, the Company had no hedges or firm commitments outstanding. 7. Contingent Liabilities From time to time, the Company may become liable with respect to pending and threatened litigation, tax, environmental and other matters. 7 General Insurance Under the Company's insurance programs, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposures as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. It is the policy of the Company to retain a significant portion of certain expected losses related primarily to workers' compensation, physical loss to property, business interruption resulting from such loss and comprehensive general, product, and vehicle liability. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company's estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred. Such estimates utilize certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and are included in accrued expenses. The amounts accrued are included in accrued compensation and related taxes in the balance sheets. Former Affiliate In 1993, a civil action was brought against the Company by a plaintiff to recover losses sustained on notes of a former affiliate. The plaintiff alleges violations of federal securities and other laws by the Company in collateral arrangements with the former affiliate. In response, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in the fall of 1993, which the court has yet to rule. In February 1994, the plaintiff executed and circulated for signature, a stipulation of voluntary dismissal. After the stipulation was executed the plaintiff refused to file the stipulation with the court. Subsequently the Company and others named in the complaint filed a motion to enforce their agreement with the plaintiff. The court has also yet to rule on that motion. In a second related action, an adversarial action in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings of the former affiliate has been filed. In response to that complaint the Company filed motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action. Although the motion for dismissal was filed during 1995, the bankruptcy court has not yet ruled on the motion. The range of potential loss, if any, as a result of these actions cannot be presently determined. Former Affiliate-continued In February 1986, the liquidator of the former affiliate filed a complaint claiming intentional and negligent conduct by the Company and others named in the complaint caused the former affiliate to suffer millions of dollars of losses leading to its ultimate failure. The complaint does not specify damages but an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position. The range of potential loss, if any, cannot be presently determined. Management, with the advice of counsel, believes the Company has meritorious defenses and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in each of these actions is remote. Counter Claims In February 1999, the Company initiated collection and legal proceedings against its former Brazilian dealer, Chatral, for failure to pay for 1998 product shipments totaling $1.4 million which has been fully 8 reserved. On December 8, 1999, Chatral filed a counter claim against the Company that alleges damages totaling $8 million as a result of the Company's discontinuation of shipments to Chatral. Although the Company and its counsel believe the Company has a meritorious defense, the outcome of this action is uncertain. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF ------- --------------------------------------------------- OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS ----------------------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- As an aid to understanding the Company's operating results, the following table shows each item from the consolidated statement of operations expressed as a percentage of net sales: Percentage of Sales --------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED March 31 March 31 2001 2000 ------------- ----------- Sales 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales 73.5 78.5 Gross Margin 26.5 21.5 Selling, general and administrative expenses (29.4) (33.2) Interest expense (3.4) (6.5) Other income 0.2 26.7 ------------- ----------- Net income (6.1%) 8.5% ============= =========== Net Sales Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased approximately $124,000 or 2.7% compared to the same period for the prior year. Revenues for our core land mobile radio (LMR) products increased approximately $261,000 or 5.9% due to stronger sales in our government and public safety markets and sales of our Uniden products, which were not offered for sale during the same period for the prior year. Non-LMR revenues decreased $137,000 or 97.2% compared to the same period for the prior year as we exited businesses and discontinued products that performed poorly or did not fit our strategic focus in wireless communications. Cost of Sales and Gross Margins Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 78.5% to 73.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period for the prior year. This improvement is primarily the result of our continued actions to reduce manufacturing overhead costs while improving efficiency and quality. Specifically, we have moved operations to a smaller, lower cost facility and reduced both our direct and indirect workforce. Additionally, we have out-sourced the surface-mount and other portions of our front-end manufacturing processes as well as the production of our Uniden products. Also, the mix of product revenues during the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period for the prior year was greater in our higher margin BK Radio and Uniden products. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of marketing, sales, commissions, engineering, research and development, management information systems, accounting and headquarters expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, SG&A expenses totaled $1,388,000 or 29.4% of sales compared to $1,526,000 or 33.2% of sales for the same period in 2000. The decrease in SG&A 10 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses-continued expenses reflects our actions to structure our SG&A support activities in accordance with our current revenue run-rates and overall business conditions. Marketing and selling expenses decreased approximately 23.5% compared to the same period in 2000 as we reengineered our marketing and sales departments. Also, we reduced our engineering staff compared to the same period for the prior year, reflecting our strategy to utilize external engineering resources, where possible, for specific research and development projects. Staffing and expense reductions have also been made in our general and administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and headquarters. Interest Expense For the three months ended March 31, 2001 interest expense totaled $158,000 or 3.4% of sales compared with $298,000 or 6.5% of sales for the same period in 2000. The decrease is primarily a result of the satisfaction of the mortgage on our facility in connection with its sale in the first quarter of 2000. Also, we sold certain manufacturing equipment during the fourth quarter of 2000 and satisfied the related capital lease commitment. A portion of the proceeds from our private placement of convertible subordinate notes and working capital generated in part from expense reductions enabled us to reduce the amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility and existing capital lease obligations. Other Income On March 24, 2000, we completed the sale of our 144,000 square foot facility located in West Melbourne, Florida for $5.6 million. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.2 million and approximately $1.6 million in cash after related expenses and the satisfaction of the mortgage on the property. We currently lease approximately 54,000 square feet of comparable space at a nearby location. Income Taxes No income tax provision was provided for the three months ended March 31, 2001 or March 31, 2000 as we have net operating loss carryforward benefits totaling approximately $30 million at March 31, 2001. We have evaluated our tax position in light of the requirements of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and do not believe that we have met the more-likely-than-not criteria for recognizing a deferred tax asset. As a result, we have provided valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets. Inflation and Changing Prices Inflation and changing prices for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 have contributed to increases in wages, facilities, and raw material costs. Effects of these inflationary effects were partially offset by increased prices to customers. We believe that we will be able to pass on most of our future inflationary increases to our customers. We are also subject to changing foreign currency exchange rates in our purchase of some raw materials. We employ several methods to protect against increases in cost due to currency fluctuations. It is not always possible to pass on these effects. Competitors in the LMR markets are subject to similar fluctuations. Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- As of March 31, 2001, we had working capital of $6.9 million compared with $7.7 million as of December 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily the result of accounts receivable collections, which were utilized primarily to reduce long-term borrowings under our revolving line of credit. 11 Liquidity and Capital Resources-continued We have a $7 million revolving line of credit. As of March 31, 2001, the formula under the terms of the agreement supported a borrowing base totaling approximately $4.5 million, of which approximately $1.0 million was available. As of December 31, 2000, we were in default of certain financial covenants under the line of credit. In February 2000, our lender signed a waiver of those defaults effective as of December 31, 2000. In March 2001, our lender agreed to modify those covenants effective as of January 1, 2001. Capital expenditures for property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $36,000 compared to $94,000 for the same period in 2000.
