POWER CONVERSION
The Company is one of the leading suppliers of power supplies, power
converters and distributed power systems to the communications industry.
According to independent industry sources, the Company ranks among the top
ten independent power supply manufacturers in sales volume worldwide.
Product offerings include over 300 standard products, in addition to custom
designed products, distributed through multiple sales channels.
Power Conversion's products include AC-to-DC power supplies and modular DC-
to-DC converters for the data communications, networking, telecommunications,
computer, and instrumentation industries. AC -to-DC power supplies are used
to convert alternating electric current, which is the form in which virtually
all electric current is delivered by utility companies, to a precisely
controlled direct current. Direct current is required to operate virtually
all solid state electronic equipment. DC-to-DC converters are used to
convert a particular direct current voltage into another (higher or lower)
direct current voltage that is required by the electronic device to which it
is connected.
It is the Company's objective to provide the fastest time-to-market for
engineered power solutions and to produce a broad range of high quality
standard products to meet customers' needs. More than 200 products were
released in the past two years. Ranging from 1 to 1500 watts, the Company
currently offers standard power products in over 1,000 configurations and
accommodates a wide variety of customer applications. The products can be
configured as open frames, enclosed or encapsuled. The Company's products
are tested by regulatory agencies for safety and are also tested for
compliance with a variety of international emissions standards.
The Company's BX family of high density converters targeted at the
communications industry is designed to enable flexible distributed power
architectures with a broad range of products.
The Company's Power Conversion activities are carried on principally through
its Power Conversion North America Division, located in Boston, Massachusetts
and Fremont, California; Power Conversion Europe, headquartered in Youghal,
Ireland; Computer Products Asia-Pacific Limited in Hong Kong; and through a
manufacturing subcontractor in Zhongshan, People's Republic of China.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Industrial Automation's product line consists of electronic real-time
input/output subsystems, intelligent controllers and software that are
utilized in data acquisition, monitoring, and control of processes in
industrial automation. The Company's products are characterized by their
ability to measure and process data at high speeds and on a continuous
`real-time'' basis. These products are used in a broad range of industries
including utilities, metals, glass, automotive, paper, and food processing as
well as in training simulators and research and development laboratories.
Industrial Automation's products provide the interfaces linking sensors and
actuators to a computer or controller. In general, sensors convert physical
phenomena, such as pressure, temperature, flow and weight, into electrical
signals, while actuators provide the force required to adjust devices
controlling such physical phenomena and other aspects of industrial
processes. Such electrical signals are not standardized and occur in a broad
range of voltages and currents.
The Company has recently focused on modularity and connectivity as strategies
to expand its customer base in this industrial market area. The modularity
engineered into the product provides customers with maximum flexibility to
modify, update and expand process control systems without required
replacement of existing systems. Connectivity further enhances the product
line's ability to communicate with third-party hardware and software products
through industry standard interfaces and networks.
The Company believes that Industrial Automation has bridged the gap between
existing products with minicomputers and microcomputers commonly used in
today's process environment. The introduction of the RTP 2000 product
provides industrial customers with a data acquisition and control solution
utilizing an embedded Intel 486 controller and industry standard software.
The Company has established relationships with several third party software
companies offering bundled hardware and software solutions for the industrial
process market.
Industrial Automation's products, generally available as standard products,
are used in a wide range of plant and laboratory environments. These
products are offered with a large number of options that are designed to
enable them to perform numerous special functions and, when required, meet or
exceed the design specifications for safety-related equipment used in nuclear
power plants. In addition, the Company maintains a special engineering group
to assist customers who require special hardware solutions.
Industrial Automation's products are manufactured in Pompano Beach, Florida.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Computer Systems designs and manufactures high performance board-level computers
and computer systems, integrating its products with real-time operating system
software, enclosures and peripherals to form complete systems for real-time
applications.
The products are designed around and incorporate industry standards which permit
easy portability to a variety of applications. The technology relies on popular
and powerful microprocessors from sources such as Motorola and Intel. The
primary product line combines both the worldwide industry standard VMEbus, which
defines physical board size and signal characteristics for the interconnection
of microprocessors, and popular real-time operating system software.
Application requirements for these products usually include environments
requiring specified computer response time with high quality processing
capabilities, particularly in graphical intensive applications.
Computer Systems has recently released the Nitro40TM and Nitro60TM product
family. The Nitro60TM utilizes Motorola's 68060 processor. The Company
believes that the Nitro40TM provides a cost effective software compatible
solution by using the Motorola 68040 processor. The recently announced Malibu
and Laguna products are single board computers that take advantage of the very
high speed processing capability of the MIPs 4000 family of RISC based
microprocessors manufactured by Silicon Graphics. Both CISC and RISC based
single-board computers have powerful networking and peripheral interfaces that
provide the latest features available for VMEbus products.
Computer Systems' customers are primarily original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs). Computer Systems' products are used in diverse applications such as
medical instrumentation, airplane and weapons training simulators, high speed
telecommunications, process control, industrial automation and traffic control
systems. Management believes that the market for real-time products will expand
as powerful new microcomputers become more pervasive in their control of
machinery, factories, medical equipment, communications and transportation
systems.
Computer Systems' products are manufactured at the Computer Systems Division in
Madison, Wisconsin.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company markets its products domestically and abroad through independent
manufacturers' representatives and distributors and by direct sales. The
business of the Company is not seasonal in nature.
Power Conversion products are sold directly to OEMs, private-label customers and
distributors. In addition, the Company's sales and engineering personnel
supervise and provide technical assistance to independent domestic sales
representatives and to domestic and foreign distributors.
Industrial Automation and Computer Systems products are marketed domestically
through independent sales representative organizations. Substantially all
foreign sales are made through independent foreign distributors and foreign
trading companies. Computer Systems manages some sales on a direct basis.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated
sales during fiscal 1994. The Company does not believe that the loss of any
single customer would have a materially adverse effect on its business.
The Company has derived a significant portion of its sales in recent years from
its international operations. Thus, the Company's future operations and
financial results could be significantly affected by international factors, such
as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or political instability. The
Company's operating strategy and pricing take into account changes in exchange
rates over time. However, the Company's future results of operations may be
significantly affected in the short term by fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
incorporated herein by reference, for additional information.
The Company is also subject to risks associated with foreign operations
including, but not limited to, the risk of political instability.
MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS
The manufacture of the Company's products requires a wide variety of materials
and components. The Company has multiple external sources for most of the
materials and components used in its production processes, and it manufactures
certain of these components. Although the Company has from time to time
experienced shortages of certain supplies, such shortages have not resulted in
any significant disruptions in production. The Company believes that there are
adequate alternative sources of supply to meet its requirements.
PATENTS
The Company believes that its future success is primarily dependent upon the
technical competence and creative skills of its personnel, rather than upon any
patent or other proprietary rights. However, the Company has protected certain
of its products with patents where appropriate and has defended, and will
continue to defend, its rights under these patents.
BACKLOG
Order backlog from continuing operations at December 30, 1994 was $37.0 million
as compared to $32.3 million at December 31, 1993. Historically, the effects of
changes and cancellations have not been significant to the Company's operations.
The Company expects to ship substantially all of its December 30, 1994 backlog
during fiscal 1995.
COMPETITION
The Company faces intense competition from a significant number of companies.
Many of these competitors have resources, financial or otherwise, substantially
greater than those of the Company. Competitors include both independent
manufacturers of competing products, and manufacturers of overall electronic
systems and devices, who manufacture competing products on an "in-house" or
"captive" basis for use in their own systems or devices. Although a significant
portion of its present overall market is served on a "captive" or "in-house"
basis, the Company believes there is a trend toward the use of independent
manufacturers as a source of these products, as these items become more
technologically advanced and complex.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company maintains active research and development departments which are
engaged in the modification and improvement of existing products and the
development of new products. Expenditures for research and development during
the 1994, 1993, and 1992 fiscal years were approximately $10.9 million, $9.4
million, and $9.0 million, respectively. As a percentage of total revenues,
research and development accounted for 7.0%, 7.6%, and 7.8% in 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. Although research and development spending as a percentage
of sales has declined in the past three years, the Company may incur higher
engineering expenses going forward for its products to remain competitive and to
introduce new products.
EMPLOYEES
The Company presently employs approximately 1,600 full-time people. The
Company's ability to conduct its present and proposed activities would be
impaired if the Company lost the services of a significant number of its
engineers and technicians and could not readily replace them with comparable
personnel. Although there is demand for qualified technical personnel, the
Company has not, to date, experienced difficulty in attracting and retaining
sufficient engineering and technical personnel to meet its needs.
None of the Company's domestic employees is covered by collective bargaining
agreements. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be
satisfactory.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Compliance with Federal, state and local laws and regulations regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment has not had, and, under present
conditions the Company does not anticipate that such laws and regulations will
have, a material effect on the results of operations, capital expenditures or
competitive position of the Company.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
----------
The Company currently occupies approximately 493,000 square feet of office and
manufacturing space worldwide. In addition to the Company's principal executive
offices in Boca Raton, Florida, the Company maintains facilities in Boston,
Massachusetts; Fremont, California; Youghal, Ireland; Hong Kong; Pompano
Beach, Florida; and Madison, Wisconsin. Approximately 80% of the space
utilized by the Company is owned while the remainder is leased. Certain of the
facilities owned by the Company are subject to liens, which are described in
Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, incorporated herein by
reference.
In addition to the above locations, the Company has leased sales offices located
in or near London, England; Paris, France; and Munich, Germany. The Company
considers the facilities described in this Item to be generally well-maintained,
adequate for its current needs and capable of supporting a reasonably higher
level of demand for its products.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 30, 1994.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1994 OVERVIEW
The Company's 1994 results of operations reflect significantly improved
performance across each of its businesses compared to fiscal 1993, producing
sales growth of 25% and net income at more than double 1993 levels.
The following table summarizes the Company's sales performance by product
category (amounts in 000s):
1994 1993 1992
Power Conversion $117,995 $ 94,501 $ 77,527
Industrial Automation 18,607 13,236 20,032
Computer Systems 18,198 16,053 17,240
-------- -------- --------
Total $154,800 $123,790 $114,799
========== ========= ========
The increase in sales was achieved as the Company further established
itself in its served markets as a value added supplier, delivering high
quality products and services to its customers. The Company's focus on
high growth market sectors in the communications and networking industries
positively impacted sales by its Power Conversion and Computer Systems
divisions, as these sectors experienced considerable growth during 1994.
Additionally, sales to the utility sector by Industrial Automation
recovered from the depressed levels seen in 1993.
While volumes increased, gross margin as a percentage of sales declined
from 39.1% in 1993 to 36.9% in 1994. This decrease resulted primarily from
a shift in strategic emphasis towards higher volume Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) business, with inherently lower profit margins, and
significant production start-up costs associated with increased sales of
the Company's high density converter product.
The effect on operating income of the reduction in gross margin
percentage was offset by limited expense growth as a result of the
Company's continuing efforts to manage operating expenses relative to gross
margin levels, and the cost benefits generated as a result of the
restructuring activities announced in the fourth quarter of 1993.
Consequently, total operating expenses (excluding restructuring charges) as
a percentage of sales decreased from 34% in 1993 to 29% in 1994, while
operating income improved to 8.1% of sales from 5.6% (excluding
restructuring) in 1993.
Results of operations for 1993 included a restructuring charge of $3.0
million ($2.2 million after taxes) and a $2.3 million benefit from the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. The Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, `Accounting
for Income Taxes,''and SFAS No. 112, ``Employers' Accounting for Post
Employment Benefits,''in the first quarter of 1993, which required the
Company to record a non-recurring benefit of $2.3 million, or $0.11 per
share.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
SALES increased by 25% in 1994 and order backlog increased by 15% from $32.3
million at December 1993 to $37.0 million at December 1994. The growth in sales
resulted from a $23.5 million (25%) increase in Power Conversion sales, a $5.4
million (41%) increase at Industrial Automation, and a $2.1 million (13%)
increase at Computer Systems.
Power Conversion sales increased over 1993 primarily due to two factors:
strong growth in the European business and increased worldwide demand from OEMs
particularly in the communications and networking market sectors. The Company's
European Power Conversion business recorded a 49% increase in sales over 1993
driven by growth in both its OEM and distribution sales channels. On a
worldwide basis, the Company's focus on tailoring its product and service
offerings to match the needs of customers in the communications and networking
sectors proved successful, enabling the Company to participate in the strong
growth seen in those markets during 1994.
In the other geographical areas served, North American sales increased 20%
over 1993 on strong OEM and distributor sales channel performance, while sales
to customers in Asia and the Pacific Rim decreased due to continuing government
economic controls to curb inflation in China, the Company's largest Asian
marketplace.
In 1995, Power Conversion will continue to focus on its selected markets and
will invest significantly in standard product development to expand its range of
product offerings. Management believes that the significant order backlog at the
end of fiscal 1994 is an indicator of continuing sales growth in the coming
year.
Industrial Automation sales increased 41% over 1993 as the nuclear, utility
and process industries recovered from the depressed levels encountered in the
prior year, thereby increasing demand for Industrial Automation products. It is
expected that the business will become less reliant on the cyclical utility and
nuclear market sectors as the business focuses on developing new products and
solutions for industrial applications during 1995.
Computer Systems sales increased by 13% over 1993 on increased demand from
many of its established OEM customers in product applications such as video-on-
demand, machine vision and voice messaging. Several new products were released
during the year including the Nitro60 based on Motorola's new MC 68060
microprocessor; the MIPS-based Laguna VME bus CPU boards; and the Daytona,
Computer Systems' first integrated real-time workstation.
In 1995, Computer Systems will release additional new products directed
towards the communications and graphics market sectors. Computer Systems
recorded strong fourth quarter orders to close 1994; however, revenue for 1995
is expected to be heavily dependent on the effective introduction of these new
products.
GROSS PROFIT for the year increased by $8.7 million on higher sales volume.
However, gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 39.1% for fiscal
1993 to 36.9% for fiscal 1994, primarily due to changes in mix within Power
Conversion toward higher volume sales to OEM customers with inherently lower
margins, and the impact from production costs associated with increased sales of
the Company's high density converter product. These negative influences on gross
margin exceeded benefits gained from lower production costs, as a result of the
transition of North American Power Conversion manufacturing to overseas
locations during 1994. Margins are expected to come under increasing pressure
during 1995 due to the continuous pricing pressures in all of the Company's
served markets, making it imperative that the Company's cost structure be
continually improved.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES as a percentage of sales
declined steadily during 1994 to 22% compared to 26% in 1993, reflecting cost
containment measures implemented by management to confine growth in expenses in
light of the reduced gross margins. As the Company strives for a more efficient
cost structure, management will continue to press for greater efficiencies in
this area to strengthen the Company's competitive position.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES increased by 16% over 1993 as the Company
continued to invest in new product development in each of its businesses. The
Company views continued investment in research and development to be critical to
its future growth and competitiveness, and is committed to significantly
increased standard product development and an accelerated level of new standard
and custom product releases in the coming year.
OPERATING EXPENSES as a percentage of sales declined to 29% in 1994 from 34%
a year ago (excluding the $3.0 million pretax restructuring charge). As a
result, despite the decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales, OPERATING
INCOME rose to 8.1% of sales from 5.6% (excluding the restructuring charge) in
1993.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE transaction losses of $60,000 were incurred in 1994 compared
to gains of $317,000 in 1993, primarily as a result of remeasuring certain
assets of the Company's European Power Conversion division into its functional
currency, which was devalued during the first quarter of 1993.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES as a percentage of pretax income was 34% and 40%
in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The effective tax rate for 1994 decreased
primarily as a result of a reduction in the valuation allowance resulting from a
higher than expected utilization of deferred tax assets. For additional
information regarding income taxes, refer to pages 26 and 27 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
1993 COMPARED TO 1992
SALES for fiscal 1993 increased 8% over 1992 to $123.8 million. This growth
resulted from a $17 million (22%) increase in Power Conversion sales, offset by
reductions at Industrial Automation and Computer Systems of $6.8 million (34%)
and $1.2 million (7%), respectively. Order backlog increased 26% from $25.6
million at December 1992 to $32.3 million at December 1993.
Power Conversion sales growth resulted from increased sales to OEM customers
in North America and Europe and improvements in distributor sales in North
America. Market penetration of major OEM customers in the communications,
computer and networking markets increased during the year.
Industrial Automation sales decreased largely due to a capital spending slow-
down in the nuclear, utility and process industries, while Computer Systems
sales decreased as a result of weakness in demand from the division's OEM
customer base.
GROSS PROFIT as a percentage of sales declined from 44.4% in 1992 to 39.1% in
1993. This decrease reflected a shift in mix from higher margin business to
lower margin Power Conversion sales, which increased as a percentage of total
sales from 68% in 1992 to 76% in 1993; a shift in mix within Power Conversion
towards lower margin, high volume OEM customers; and start-up costs of new
products.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased $3.1 million (9%) in
1993. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased from 31% to 26%, reflecting both the higher dollar amount of sales and
reduced expenses. The decline in expenses resulted from cost reduction measures
implemented company-wide and the re-sizing of resources within Industrial
Automation and Computer Systems to respond to the decrease in volumes.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES increased approximately $500,000 and
amounted to 7.6% of revenue versus 7.8% in 1992 as the Company continued to
invest in new product development.
RESTRUCTURING activities initiated in the fourth quarter of 1993 to eliminate
low-volume, high-cost production lines in North America and expand manufacturing
capacity abroad resulted in a charge of $3.0 million in fiscal 1993. For
additional information regarding the Company's restructuring activities, refer
to page 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
OTHER EXPENSES decreased $483,000 in 1993. Interest expense decreased
$603,000 as a result of savings generated by the Company's repurchase of $4.0
million of its Convertible Subordinated Debentures in late 1992. Interest
income decreased $563,000 due to a reduction in average cash and equivalents
balances during 1993. Foreign exchange transaction gains of $317,000 were
generated during 1993 from remeasurement of certain assets of the Company's
European division into its functional currency, which was devalued during the
first quarter of 1993.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES as a percentage of pretax income was 40% and 43%
in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The effective tax rate for 1993 decreased due to
a favorable change in the pattern of earnings between domestic and overseas
operations, which are taxed at lower foreign rates.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES of $2.3 million
includes a benefit of $3.1 million ($0.15 per share) from the adoption of SFAS
No. 109 and a charge of $0.8 million ($0.04 per share), net of income tax
benefits, from the adoption of SFAS No. 112. These amounts represent the impact
of adoption related to fiscal years before 1993. The effect of these changes on
income before income taxes was not material. Prior years financial statements
have not been restated to apply the provisions of these statements.
OTHER
In fiscal 1995, the Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards (`SFAS'') No. 107, ``Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments''and No. 119, ``Disclosure about Derivative
Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.'' Adoption of
SFAS No. 107 and No. 119 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS increased $10.1 million over 1993 as a result of higher
net income, working capital efficiencies and the issuance of long-term debt of
$3.6 million, partially reduced by the repurchase of $512,000 of the Company's
convertible subordinated debentures.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE collection performance improved, limiting growth in
receivables during the year to $1.3 million (6%), despite a sales volume
increase of $31 million (25%).
INVENTORIES also yielded working capital efficiencies, increasing at a
slower rate than revenue growth. The limited increase in net inventories of
$1.6 million (8%) over 1993 resulted from effective inventory management
and the benefit of the Company's manufacturing restructuring activities
executed during the year.
PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT increased $2.2 million net of changes in
accumulated depreciation. The increase included the purchase of a building for
$922,000 to expand manufacturing capacity in the European Power Conversion
division and additional capital expenditures to support the increased sales
volume.
LIABILITIES increased $5.8 million as a result of acquiring a $3.6 million
mortgage loan, a $857,000 (net of unamortized costs of $222,000) three-year note
for the purchase of the building mentioned above, and higher accounts payable on
increased volume, reduced by the repurchase of $512,000 of the Company's
convertible subordinated debentures. Restructuring reserves decreased by $1.7
million compared to December 1993 as a result of payments for employee severance
and outplacement relating to the Company's restructuring activities described
previously.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY increased $7.2 million (22%) from 1993 principally due
to net income of $6.1 million and a $745,000 increase in foreign currency
translation adjustment, due to the impact of a stronger functional currency on
the translation of the Company's European net assets into U.S. dollars.
CASH FLOWS
NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES increased $11.6 million in 1994
versus a decrease of $500,000 in 1993 compared to 1992. The increase in 1994 is
the result of higher net income and improved management of operating assets and
liabilities. The 1993 reduction reflected the Company's investment in working
capital to fund its sales growth. The Company believes its cash flows from
operations and its available line of credit are adequate to fund its anticipated
working capital requirements in 1995.
NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES increased $2.2 million in 1994 versus a
decrease of $5.2 million in 1993 compared to 1992. The increase in 1994 relates
to the continued upgrading of the Company's worldwide manufacturing
capabilities. The decrease in 1993 reflected cash proceeds of $800,000 from the
sale of the Company's Government Electronics facility and the 1992 acquisition
of the Computer Systems manufacturing facility for $4.1 million.
NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES in 1994 of $2.1 million includes
the issuance of the $3.6 million mortgage loan mentioned previously, reduced by
the repurchase of $512,000 of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures
and by scheduled long-term debt payments. Cash used in financing activities in
1993 of $3.1 million consists of the repayment of an 8.5% Senior Subordinated
Note for $2.1 million and regular annual debt payments. In 1992, the Company
repurchased $4.0 million of its convertible subordinated debentures for $3.9
million in cash.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Computer
Products, Inc. (the `Company'') and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's fiscal year
ends on the Friday nearest December 31.
Cash and Equivalents
Only highly-liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less
are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are carried at cost,
which approximates market value.
Accounts Receivable
The Company's accounts receivable are primarily due from companies in the
high technology and electronics industries. Collateral generally is not
required. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and
consistently have been within management's expectations. The allowance for
doubtful accounts was $1,354,000 and $1,174,000 at December 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Inventories
Raw material inventories are stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in,
first-out basis, or market. Work in process and finished goods inventories are
stated at accumulated costs, which are not in excess of market, less customer
progress payments, if applicable.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 30 years.
Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance, repairs and
minor renewals are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
The excess of purchase price over net assets of acquired companies (goodwill)
is capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from
20 to 40 years. Related accumulated amortization was $4,210,000 and $3,448,000
at December 1994 and 1993, respectively. On a periodic basis, the Company
estimates the future undiscounted cash flows and operating income of the
businesses to which goodwill relates in order to ensure that the carrying value
of such goodwill has not been impaired.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of the Company's European subsidiaries are translated
from their functional currency into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect
at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using average
exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate
fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S.
dollars is included in shareholders' equity, while gains and losses from foreign
currency transactions are included in income. The functional currency for the
Company's Asian subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, as their transactions are
substantially denominated in U.S. dollars.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the time products are shipped, or as
services are performed.
Income Taxes
On January 2, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this statement,
deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future tax consequences of the
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are
expected to reverse. In addition, this standard requires the recognition of
future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent
that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
Prior to 1993, the provision for income taxes included federal, foreign,
state and local income taxes currently payable. Primarily because of the
Company's net operating loss carryforward position, a provision for deferred
taxes was not required in those years.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each year, adjusted for dilutive common stock
equivalents as applicable.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1993 and 1992 financial statements have been
reclassified to be consistent with the method of presentation used in the 1994
financial statements.
2.INVENTORIES
The components of inventories, net of allowances for slow-moving and obsolete
items, are ($000s):
1994 1993
Raw materials $11,016 $10,063
Work in process 3,174 3,705
Finished goods 5,857 4,724

======== ========
Amortization of assets acquired under capital leases is included in
depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $3,483,000, $3,097,000 and
$2,828,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
4.ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES
The components of accounts payable and accrued liabilities are ($000s):
1994 1993
Accounts payable $10,123 $ 7,533
Accrued liabilities:
Compensation and benefits 7,685 6,361
Restructuring costs 898 2,636
Income taxes payable 1,449 496
Other 5,291 5,202
------- -------
Total $25,446 $22,228
======= =======
At December 1994 and 1993, other accrued liabilities primarily consists of
accruals for commissions, warranty costs, interest, advertising, rent,
accounting and legal fees, and other taxes.
On January 2, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits." This statement requires employers to recognize
the severance cost benefits of former or inactive employees after employment but
before retirement, as the benefits are earned. The cumulative effect of
adoption was a non-cash charge of $821,000 ($0.04 per share), net of income tax
benefits of $84,000. The effect of this change on 1993 income before taxes was
not material.
5.RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS
In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company initiated a plan to restructure
its operations to eliminate low volume, high-cost production lines in North
America and consolidate its remaining U.S. Power Conversion activities into one
division. In connection with this plan, the Company recorded a $3.0 million
restructuring charge to operating expenses ($2.2 million or $0.11 per share,
after taxes). The restructuring costs included $1.9 million of estimated
employee-related severance costs and $1.1 million of estimated asset write-downs
and other expenses associated with the consolidation and termination of certain
Power Conversion North America operations.
At the time the restructuring was announced, management estimated that the
restructuring would reduce 1994 operating costs by $1.2 million, a reduction
which was achieved during the year. At the end of fiscal 1994, consistent with
the Company's restructuring plan, 109 employees had been terminated and certain
other employees had been reassigned.
As of December 30, 1994, the Company had $898,000 of accrued restructuring
costs primarily for obligations under employee severance agreements.
6.SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
The Company has an unused $15 million revolving line of credit under an
agreement with a bank which extends through March 1995. The agreement provides
for interest at .25% over the prime lending rate and a commitment fee of .375%
of the unused balance. The interest rate and commitment fee may vary based upon
formulas contained in the agreement. The agreement is secured by the common
stock of substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and contains
certain restrictive covenants which are discussed in Note 8. The Company
expects to renew or replace this agreement at expiration.
7.LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt is comprised of the following:
1994 1993
($000s) ($000s)
Mortgage note due in monthly installments of $79,268
including interest at 7.5% (a) $3,674 $4,306

Long-term debt $7,368 $4,626
====== ======
(a) Collateralized by properties with an aggregate net book value of
approximately $14,244,000 at December 1994.
(b) On June 28, 1994, the Company obtained a $3,600,000 seven year
commercial mortgage loan from Firstar Bank Madison, N.A. at a fixed
interest rate of 6.90% for the first three years, repriced thereafter
at 250 basis points over the then prevailing four-year U.S. Treasury
Index. The loan is secured by a first mortgage on the Heurikon
Corporation facility in Wisconsin and by the Company's guaranty. The
loan proceeds were used to provide additional working capital.
(c) On December 30, 1994, the Company purchased a building for
approximately $922,000 from the Industrial Development Authority of
Ireland in exchange for a three year non-interest bearing note. The
note specifies repayment in three yearly installments due on September
30, 1995, 1996 and 1997.
On February 5, 1993, the Company paid $2.1 million to settle its 8.5% Senior
Subordinated Note.
Maturities of long-term debt are: $1,820,000 in 1995, $1,224,000 in 1996,
$1,261,000 in 1997, $943,000 in 1998, $887,000 in 1999 and $3,275,000
thereafter.
8.CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company's 9.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (the ``Debentures'')
due 1997 were issued pursuant to an underwritten public offering. The
Debentures are subordinated to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of
the Company (as defined in the indenture), and are convertible into shares of
common stock at a conversion price of $4.625 per share, subject to adjustment as
set forth in the indenture.
In 1992, the Company repurchased $4,000,000 in principal of the Debentures
for a purchase price of $3,874,000. Additionally, in 1994, the Company
repurchased $512,000 in principal of the Debentures for a purchase price of
$520,000. The respective gain and loss on repurchase, net of unamortized
issuance costs, was not material to the Company.
The convertible subordinated debenture and line of credit agreements contain
restrictive covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain
a minimum amount of working capital and limit the payment of cash dividends, and
the purchase, redemption or retirement of debentures and capital stock. As of
December 1994, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
9.LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company is obligated under noncancellable leases for facilities and
equipment which expire at various dates through 2005 and contain renewal options
at favorable terms. Future minimum annual rental obligations and noncancellable
sublease income are as follows ($000s):
RENTAL SUBLEASE
YEAR OBLIGATIONS INCOME
1995 $ 2,990 $2,116
1996 2,822 2,317
1997 2,738 2,317
1998 2,361 386
1999 2,279
Thereafter 15,939
------- ------
Total $29,129 $7,136
======= ======
Rental expense under operating leases amounted to $2,142,000, $2,184,000 and
$2,290,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Sublease income was
$1,611,000, $1,570,000 and $1,459,000 for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Company has recorded lease liabilities for certain leased manufacturing
facilities no longer deployed in the Company's operations. Although the
facilities are being subleased, the future lease obligations exceed future
sublease income, thereby creating loss contracts. The aggregate minimum annual
rental obligations and sublease income under these leases have been included in
the lease commitments table presented above.
10. INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109 on a prospective
basis in the first quarter of 1993. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle that relates to years prior to 1993 was to increase net
income by $3,091,000, or $0.15 per share, and reduce goodwill by $2 million for
net operating loss carryforwards of acquired companies. The effect of adopting
this statement on income before income taxes was not material.
Income before taxes for domestic and foreign operations consists of the
following ($000:):
1994 1993 1992
U.S. $7,018 $(1,175) $1,030
Foreign 2,162 2,176 2,496
------ ------ ------
Total income before taxes $9,180 $ 1,001 $3,526

The provision for income taxes consists of ($000s):

Foreign 192
------ ------ ------
Total deferred 1,872 71
------ ------ ------
Total provision $3,121 $404 $1,524
====== ====== ======
During 1994 and 1992, the Company utilized tax loss carryforwards obtained in
a prior business combination. The effect of utilizing these carryforwards was to
reduce goodwill by approximately $795,000 and $433,000 in 1994 and 1992,
respectively.
Income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries, which approximated $15.9 million as of December
1994, as the Company does not intend to repatriate such earnings.
Differences between the United States federal statutory income tax rate and
the Company's effective income tax rate are as follows:
1994 1993 1992
Provision computed at U.S. federal
statutory rate 34.0% 34.0% 34.0%
Foreign tax effects (2.8) (23.3) (6.6)
Adjustments to beginning of year deferred
tax assets 9.1
Amortization of goodwill 0.7 8.5 7.9
Change in the valuation allowance (8.4) 7.3
Effect of state income taxes 6.5 (0.4) 6.6
Effect of AMT taxes 1.2
Other 2.8 5.2 1.3
------ ------ ------
Effective tax rate 34.0% 40.4% 43.2%
====== ====== ======
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as
of December 1994 and 1993 are as follows ($000s):
1994 1993
Acquired net operating loss carryforwards (expiring
1998 through 2000) $ 2,496 $ 3,683
Lease liabilities 2,659 2,764
Inventory reserves 2,094 2,612
Net operating loss carryforwards (expiring 2003 through
2008) 2,648 2,259
Tax credit carryforwards (expiring 1996 through 2001) 1,899 1,830
Restructuring costs 484 1,598
Other accrued liabilities 2,172 1,408
Other (76) 246
------- -------
Total deferred tax assets 14,376 16,400
Valuation allowance (10,453) (11,626)
------- -------
Deferred income taxes, net $ 3,923 $ 4,774
======== ========
The valuation allowance at December 30, 1994 includes approximately $1.3
million associated with acquired net operating loss carryforwards, which, if
subsequently recognized, will reduce goodwill. During the year ended December
1994, the valuation allowance decreased by $1.2 million mainly due to the
utilization of tax loss carryforwards. In assessing the likelihood of
utilization of existing deferred tax assets, management has considered the
historical results of operations and the current operating environment.
Management believes, more likely than not, that future taxable income will be
sufficient to utilize deferred tax assets of $3.9 million.
The Company made income tax payments of approximately $534,000, $206,000, and
$168,000 during 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
11.CONTINGENCIES
In prior years, the Company received capital grants from the Industrial
Development Authority (IDA) of Ireland in connection with the establishment of
its Irish manufacturing facilities. The grants reduced the costs of the
facility and equipment and operating expenses. On October 26, 1994, the Company
entered into a Grant Agreement with the IDA whereby the IDA agreed to grant to
the Company the sum of approximately $2.0 million in consideration of the
Company providing employment for a given number of Irish citizens, over a three
year period. The grant will reduce operating expenses incurred in connection
with the expansion of the Company's operations in Ireland. As of December 1994,
the Company had received approximately $500,000 of the $2.0 million grant. In
the event of noncompliance with certain terms and conditions, the Company may be
required to repay approximately $1.3 million of the grants, which expire on
various dates through fiscal 2002. Management believes that non compliance with
the agreements is unlikely.
12.STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company maintains a qualified stock option plan, a qualified employee
stock purchase plan and certain non-qualified plans, including a key employee
option plan, two plans for outside directors and a Performance Equity Plan
("PEP") for certain officers and key employees. The employee stock purchase
plan provides for the grant of options to employees at an exercise price equal
to the lower of 85% of the common stock market value at the date of grant or at
various exercise dates throughout the year.
Under such plans, a maximum of 6,350,000 option shares have been authorized,
of which 1,214,610 are available to be granted. These options may be exercised
at various times as determined at the time of grant. The PEP options may become
exercisable after the price of the Company's common stock achieves certain
levels for specified periods of time or upon the passage of designated time
periods. As of December 1994, 2,077,270 of these options were exercisable. The
exercise price per share under all plans ranges from $1.63 to $4.63. The
following table is a summary of these option plans:
OPTIONS

13.EMPLOYEES' THRIFT AND SAVINGS PLAN
The Company's Section 401(k) Qualified Plan permits substantially all United
States employees to invest up to 15% of their base compensation (as defined) on
a pretax basis in common stock of the Company, growth equity securities or fixed
income securities. The Company may, at the discretion of the Board of
Directors, make a contribution to the Plan. The Board of Directors authorized
contributions of $218,000, $250,000 and $167,000, respectively, for 1994, 1993
and 1992.
14.SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The Company incurred advertising costs of approximately $925,000, $999,000 and
$1,177,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Amortization expense of
intangible assets aggregated approximately $1,575,000, $1,720,000 and $1,547,000
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Interest paid was approximately
$3,877,000, $3,688,000 and $4,343,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
15.FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The Company operates in a single industry of designing, manufacturing,
marketing, and servicing electronic systems and components. Sales and marketing
operations outside the United States are conducted principally through sales
representatives and distributors in Canada, Europe and the Pacific Rim. Sales
are primarily in U.S. dollars and certain European currencies and consist of
products manufactured domestically and in the Company's facilities in the
Republic of Ireland and Hong Kong. Intercompany sales are in U.S. dollars and
are based on cost plus a reasonable profit but less than pricing to unaffiliated
customers.

listings.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF COMPUTER PRODUCTS, INC. :
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Computer Products, Inc. (a Florida corporation) and subsidiaries as
of December 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three
fiscal years ended December 30, 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
