PART I Item 1. BUSINESS GENERAL SMTEK International, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), a Delaware corporation, is an electronics manufacturing services ("EMS") provider to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") primarily in the industrial and instrumentation, medical, telecommunications, security, financial services automation and aerospace and defense industries. We provide integrated solutions to OEMs across the entire product life cycle, from design to manufacturing to end-of-life services, for the worldwide low- to-medium volume, high complexity segment of the EMS industry. We have seven wholly owned subsidiaries: SMTEK, Inc. (aka SMTEK Moorpark), located in Moorpark, California; Technetics, Inc. (dba SMTEK San Diego), located in Poway, California; Jolt Technology, Inc. (aka SMTEK Fort Lauderdale), located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; SMTEK Europe Limited, located in Craigavon, Northern Ireland; SMTEK New England, located in Marlborough, Massachusetts; SMTEK Santa Clara, located in Santa Clara, California; and SMTEK International Thailand Limited, located in Ayutthya, Thailand. On October 24, 2001, we completed a transaction to purchase certain assets, but not assume any liabilities, of Century Electronics Manufacturing, Inc. ("Century"), an EMS company that filed for bankruptcy. As part of this transaction, we also purchased substantially all of the common stock of Century's subsidiary in Thailand. The aggregate purchase price of this transaction was approximately $3.2 million. In July 2001, SMTEK San Diego moved its entire operations into a 45,000 square foot facility in Poway, California under a ten year lease. In March 2002, SMTEK Moorpark moved its entire operations into an 115,000 square foot facility in Moorpark, California under a ten year lease. We were incorporated in California in 1959 and were reincorporated in Delaware in 1986. We changed our name from Data-Design Laboratories, Inc. to DDL Electronics, Inc. in December 1993, and in October 1998 our name was changed to SMTEK International, Inc. Our executive office is currently located at 200 Science Drive, Moorpark, California 93021, telephone (805) 532-2800. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW EMS Industry The EMS industry can be classified into two general segments: high- volume/low complexity and low-to-medium volume/high complexity. We focus on the low-to-medium volume/high complexity segment. Manufacturers in this segment are highly fragmented and competitive. Customer bases tend to be highly concentrated, with two or three customers typically accounting for a significant portion of an EMS provider's total revenue. Two principal assembly techniques are employed in the EMS industry: surface mount technology ("SMT"), which accounts for the majority of manufacturing; and through-hole technology. We believe that the low-to- medium volume/high complexity EMS market is continuing to move toward SMT as the preferred manufacturing technique, due in part to the fact that semiconductors have continued to shrink in size, which tightens manufacturing tolerances and necessitates the use of automation for efficient production. Our production processes are predominantly SMT. Description of EMS Products and Services Production of electronic assemblies for a customer is only performed when a firm order is received and accepted. Electronic assemblies are produced based on one of two general methods, either "turnkey" (where we provide all materials, labor and equipment associated with producing the customers' product) or "consigned" (where we provide only labor and equipment for manufacturing electronic assemblies and the customer provides the materials). Our EMS operations provide both turnkey and consignment electronics manufacturing services using surface mount and through-hole interconnection technologies. We conduct our domestic business through our facilities in Moorpark, San Diego, Fort Lauderdale, Marlborough and Santa Clara and our foreign operations in our SMTEK Europe Limited subsidiary in Northern Ireland and our SMTEK International Thailand Limited subsidiary in Ayutthya, Thailand. Our EMS operations do not fabricate any of the components used in these processes. The materials procurement element of our turnkey services consists of the planning, purchasing, expediting, warehousing and financing of the components and materials required to assemble a board-level or system-level assembly. Customers have increasingly required us and other EMS providers to purchase some or all components directly from component manufacturers or distributors and to finance the components and materials. Customers usually incur costs in qualifying EMS providers and there is a learning curve for both the customer and the EMS provider in terms of producing the product, redesigns and refinements of products. Once a relationship is established, we believe that customers experience difficulty in expeditiously and effectively reassigning a turnkey project to a new assembler or in taking on the project themselves. As a consequence of the relative difficulty of a customer to change EMS providers, our company faces the obstacle of attracting new customers away from their existing EMS providers, or from the customers' in-house assembly operations. MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS Our sales and the percentage of our consolidated sales to the principal end-user markets we serve for the last three fiscal years are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Year ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------- Markets 2002 2001 2000 ----------------------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Medical $26,212 35.3% $25,093 27.5% $12,921 18.4% Industrial controls and instrumentation 22,514 30.3 38,626 42.4 19,108 27.2 Telecommunications 13,306 17.9 10,714 11.8 9,543 13.6 Aerospace and defense 7,124 9.6 5,693 6.2 15,718 22.4 Security 1,461 2.0 689 0.8 484 0.7 Financial services automation 283 0.4 8,904 9.8 10,803 15.4 Other 3,322 4.5 1,429 1.5 1,675 2.3 ------- ----- ------- ----- ------- ----- Total $74,222 100.0% $91,148 100.0% $70,252 100.0% ======= ===== ======= ===== ======= =====
See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for information on our revenues and long-lived assets by geographical area. We market our EMS services through both direct sales personnel and through independent representatives. Our marketing strategy is to develop close relationships with, and to increase sales to, certain existing and new major OEM customers. This includes becoming involved at an early stage in the design of these customers' new products. We believe this strategy is necessary to keep abreast of rapidly changing technological needs and to develop new EMS processes, so as to enhance our EMS capabilities and our position in the industry. As a result of this strategy, however, fluctuations experienced by one or more of our customers in demand for their products may have and have had adverse effects on our sales and profitability. (See "Risk Factors that May Affect Your Decision to Invest in Us"). BACKLOG At June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, our backlog was $45.4 million, $59.0 million and $53.4 million, respectively. Backlog is comprised of orders believed to be firm for products that have scheduled shipment dates within the next six to twelve months. We expect to ship a substantial portion of the backlog within 90 days, although the continuation of current economic conditions or other risk factors may alter those expectations. Some orders in the backlog may be cancelled under certain conditions. In addition, the timing of orders from major customers may result in significant fluctuations in our backlog and operating results from period to period. Accordingly, we believe that backlog may not be a reliable indicator of future operating results. RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR DECISION TO INVEST IN US There are a variety of risk factors noted below and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K (the "Report" or "Form 10-K") and our other filings with the SEC that may affect your investment with us. In evaluating our business, you should carefully review the risk factors cited below as well as all other statements, notes and figures in this Form 10-K. Our business presents a risk due to, among other considerations, the significant volatility of our stock, particularly on a quarterly basis. Our business is also part of a highly dynamic and competitive industry, which can also result in the volatility of our stock price. Our results of operations may be affected by the above, or with the risk factors described below: General Industry Conditions and Competition The markets in which the EMS industry operates are intensely competitive. Seasonality is not a significant factor in the EMS business. Competition is principally based primarily on price with secondary factors including product quality, technical capability and the ability to deliver products on schedule. Both the price of and the demand for EMS are sensitive to economic conditions, changing technologies and other factors. The technology used in EMS is widely available, and there are a large number of domestic and foreign competitors. Many of these firms are larger than we are and have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. Many of our competitors have also made substantial capital expenditures in recent years and operate technologically advanced EMS facilities. Further, some of our customers have substantial in-house EMS capabilities. There is a risk that, in periods when these customers are operating at less than full capacity, they will use their own facilities rather than contract with us. Despite this risk, we believe we have not currently experienced a significant loss of business to OEMs' captive assembly operations. However, there can be no assurance that future losses in this regard will not occur. Another factor that presents a continuing risk is the inability of EMS companies to have their customers take back unneeded inventory (See the risk factor below dealing with "Components And Materials May Be Expensive, Unavailable, Or Difficult To Timely Purchase; Components And Materials May Also Be Difficult To Sell"). This has also affected us and may occur more frequently if the current economic conditions do not appreciably improve. We can provide no assurance that we will not be forced to sell our customers' unneeded inventory that we hold. If we sell the excess inventory, we may have to sell any or all of the inventory for a loss. This situation, if it comes to pass, may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. If the Market for Our Services Does Not Improve, or If General Economic Conditions Continue to Adversely Affect Our Business or Industry, We Expect To Continue To Suffer Losses. Since the end of our third quarter of fiscal 2001, and then more recently since the event of September 11, 2001, our existing customers scheduled out and/or canceled orders. As we begin our new fiscal year, we are uncertain whether the soft demand for goods and services, including those goods and services our customers provide, will improve. We believe this is a result of the general downturn in economic conditions and continued effects of the event of September 11, 2001. Further, we have opened new facilities and moved existing subsidiary businesses into larger facilities. This has caused us an increase in costs and excess capacity. When combined with the current economic conditions, this presents a significant risk to our operating results and financial condition. (See also Risk Factor below entitled: "Our New Facilities and Strategic Expansion Have Not Yielded the Benefits We Expected and Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition.") While we have taken cost reduction measures and attempted to improve efficiencies in our subsidiaries' facilities, we may continue to experience a material adverse effect on our operating results and in our financial condition if the current economic conditions continue for an extended period of time, or if we do not manage the facilities toward profitability. We may also be unable to assimilate the new facilities into our operations, or we may have to close one or more of our existing facilities which may further adversely affect our operating results and our financial condition. Our Domestic Line of Credit Agreement Contains Certain Financial Covenants That Must Be Met. Our Northern Ireland Line of Credit Agreement Renews in November 2002. At December 31, 2001, we violated certain covenants in our domestic line of credit agreement with our bank. In February 2002, the bank waived these covenant violations. At March 31, 2002, we violated certain covenants in our domestic line of credit agreement. In May 2002, the bank either removed or amended the related restricted covenants in an amendment to the credit agreement. At June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with the amended covenants to the credit agreement. In anticipation of future projected covenant violations, during September 2002, we amended the May 2002 covenants with the bank. This line of credit agreement renews in September 2003. In the event of default under our line of credit agreement, any and all outstanding borrowings could be immediately due and payable. This may create significant operating and financial restrictions on us, further causing an adverse effect to our financial condition and operating results. Our Northern Ireland line of credit agreement is also set to renew in November 2002. We can provide no assurance that the agreement will be renewed and on what terms any renewal could occur. However, at this time the bank has not indicated that it will not renew our line of credit agreement. Our New Facilities and Strategic Expansion Have Not Yielded the Benefits We Expected and Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition. We moved the operations of two of our subsidiaries, SMTEK, Inc. and Technetics, Inc., during fiscal year 2002 from Thousand Oaks, California and El Cajon, California, respectively, to larger facilities in Moorpark, California and Poway, California, respectively. The Poway and Moorpark leases each have a term of ten years While Technetics, Inc. was released from the El Cajon lease, SMTEK, Inc. is still liable for the Thousand Oaks facility lease and continues paying rent to the landlord without a subtenant on a lease which expires on May 31, 2004. While there are active measures being taken to sub-lease or re-lease the premises in Thousand Oaks, there is no assurance that a sub-tenant or new tenant will be found. The failure to secure a sub-tenant or new tenant may cause an adverse result in our operating or financial conditions. We also have entered into long-term leases for facilities related to our new operations in Marlborough, Massachusetts and Santa Clara, California. A majority of our facilities continue to have excess capacity. The increased costs, rent, excess capacity and expenses are likely to continue to adversely affect our business, operating results or financial conditions regardless of whether any of the other risk factors occur, particularly during fiscal year 2003. Our strategic direction in expanding during this economic climate has given and may continue to give rise to unforeseen costs. Our Industry is Often Described as Having Low Profit Margins. The Current Economic Downturn May Result in Even Lower Profit Margins For Our Company As Well as Our Industry. The EMS industry is often described as having low profit margins. Oftentimes, if not always, customers have sought and have continued to seek price reductions. Unless we successfully achieve further material cost reductions, efficiencies and productivity gains, we may experience a material adverse effect on our operating results and our financial condition. There can be no assurance, however, whether reductions in materials costs will be effective or adequate to compensate for such price reductions. If We Lose Any One Of Our Larger Customers, It May Adversely Affect Our Results And Financial Condition The loss of one or more of our larger customers, or a reduction in their level of orders, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for information on our three largest customers. Our Operating Results Are Likely To Materially Fluctuate Our operating results are affected by a number of factors. These include: - the timing of orders from and shipments to major customers, - availability and cost of materials and components, - the volume of orders relative to our capacity, - timing of expenditures in anticipation of future sales, - the gain or loss of significant customers, - variations in the mix between consignment and turnkey arrangements with customers, - variations in the demand for products in the industries we serve, - quality issues and general economic conditions - the development and introduction of new products and technologies by our customers and our customers' competitors In addition to fluctuations from day to day operations, our operating results will also be affected by the following: - excess capacity at the various subsidiary plants, which may entail attempts to limit liabilities of leases, selling or subleasing equipment, and other measures of that nature, - our debt load is increasing and may rise to a point that over-extends our cash-flow capacity, - our domestic line of credit agreement contains certain financial covenants that must be attained and our Northern Ireland line of credit agreement with the bank renews during November 2002 (See Risk Factor entitled "Our Domestic Line of Credit Agreement Contains Certain Financial Covenants That Must Be Met. Our Northern Ireland Line of Credit Agreement Renews in November 2002.") - our fixed costs are significantly higher than the last fiscal year due to the Century asset purchase, excess capacity in existing plants, and the failure to sub-lease or re-lease the Thousand Oaks facility. A significant portion of our expenses is relatively fixed in nature and planned expenditures are based in part on anticipated orders. Our inability to adjust expenditures quickly enough to compensate for a decline in net sales may magnify the adverse impact of a decline in our results of operations. Our Stock Price Has Been And Continues To Be Volatile. Based Upon Any Number of Factors, We May Face Delisting Proceedings From Nasdaq. The market price for our common stock continues to be volatile due to various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: - the stock float being relatively small and thinly traded - announcements by us or our competitors of new contracts, or technological innovations; - fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results; - acquisition-related announcements; and - general market conditions. In addition, our stock price, in recent years has experienced significant price fluctuations for a variety of reasons, both internal to us and due to external conditions. Currently, we are trading near $1.00. Under Nasdaq rules, if we trade below $1.00 for thirty consecutive days, or if any other events occur, including falling below $2.5 million in shareholders' equity, we could face delisting proceedings from Nasdaq and be listed on the over-the-counter market on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board or in the "pink sheets" maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., which is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as Nasdaq or other national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in conducting trades and difficulty in obtaining future financing. Further, for companies whose securities are traded in the Over-The-Counter Market, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital. Components And Materials May Be Expensive, Unavailable, Or Difficult To Timely Purchase; Components and Materials May Also Be Difficult To Sell For our surface mount assemblies and turnkey operations, we purchase components and material from approved suppliers. Any failure on the part of these suppliers to deliver required components to us or any failure of such components to meet performance requirements could impair our ability to meet scheduled shipment dates. This in turn could delay completing our sales and receipt of payment, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, shortages of certain types of electronic components. These shortages may increase our costs and may also cause us to experience delays in deliveries to our customers. In addition, our customers may specify that we purchase parts or materials from particular manufacturers of components for use in the assembly process. Certain components used in a number of our customer programs are obtained from sole source suppliers. To the extent these components are not available on a timely basis or are in short supply because of allocations imposed by the component manufacturer, and the customer is unwilling to accept a substitute component, delays may occur. Such delays are experienced in the EMS business from time to time and have caused sales and inventory fluctuations in our business. To the extent our customers do not absorb the costs associated with parts or materials shortages or price increases, whether by agreement or to maintain a business relationship with a customer, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In fiscal 2002, we entered into several inventory consignment programs with several of our vendors. These programs were designed to reduce the lead time on program parts, reduce the quotation process timetable, provide competitive pricing, provide protection during periods of shortages and reduce overhead costs. However, the programs do not necessarily avoid shortages or price fluctuations with regard to certain important parts or materials nor do the programs protect against all circumstances facing our customer, our supplier or us. If Our Customers' Vary Their Requirements, This May Affect Our Results And Our Financial Condition The level and timing of purchase orders placed by our customers are affected by a number of factors, including variation in demand for the customer's products, customer attempts to manage inventory and changes in the customer's manufacturing strategies. Many of these factors are outside of our control. Generally, customers may cancel, reduce or delay purchase orders and commitments without penalty, except for payment for services rendered, materials purchased or procured and, in certain circumstances, charges associated with such cancellation, reduction or delay. The current economic conditions, however, may affect our ability to recover such costs, penalties and charges. Significant or numerous cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by customers, or inability by customers to pay for services provided or to pay for components and materials purchased on such customer's behalf, have, in the past adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such events or conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. Our Debt Profile May Change and May Affect Our Operations And Financial Condition At June 30, 2002, our debt-to-equity ratio was 2.92 to 1.00. Several factors, including but not limited to, a continued prolonged economic downturn, capital investment to increase production or acquisition of other EMS companies, may significantly change our debt profile. Such events or conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. Our Northern Ireland Subsidiary Has Economic Challenges and Faces Additional Risks Different From Our Domestic Subsidiaries Our subsidiary in Northern Ireland, SMTEK Europe, has largely, though not completely, avoided the turmoil in that area over the years of its operation. However, we are unable to provide any assurance that our subsidiary will not be affected by the continued political instability in that area. Further, we are a guarantor on our subsidiary's $3.8 million line of credit with Ulster Bank Markets. Also, SMTEK Europe is subject to a government loan, which is subject to covenants and conditions, including the number of employees that must be employed at the facility. This government loan, as well as the existence of a labor union at SMTEK Europe, may adversely affect the ability of SMTEK Europe to be flexible in cutting labor and other costs. There may be an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our business, if SMTEK Europe does not meet its economic challenges. Our Thailand Facility Has Economic Challenges and Faces Additional Risks Different from Our Domestic Subsidiaries We own 4,999,992 out of 5,000,000 shares of stock in the Thailand facility. Thailand is generally considered to have less economic stability than most mainland European nations or the United States of America. Further, the facility in Thailand has essentially one customer, a telecommunications company which, if it defers or cancels orders, will have a material effect on the Thailand facility performance. This in turn could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition. Our Foreign Facilities in Thailand and Northern Ireland Face Unique Challenges That Our Domestic Facilities Do Not Face Our foreign operations have risks that may affect our operating results and financial condition. These risks include: - the fluctuations of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in our reported results, - import and export duties, and value added taxes, - import and export regulation changes that could increase costs, increase losses or erode any profitability that may exist, - potential restrictions on the transfer of funds, - inflexible employee contracts in the event of business downturns, and - the burden and cost of interaction between foreign and U.S. laws. Our Services, To The Extent We Perform Sub-Contracts Relating To Government Work, Are Subject To Government Audit And Control Our sub-contracting electronic manufacturing services include aerospace and military work for customers who do business with the U.S. government. If a customer complains to the government reporting the services we or our customers perform for the government, the government may subject us or our customer to an investigation, audit or lawsuit. The government may enforce civil and criminal penalties if it finds that contracts are intentionally breached or if there is intentional misconduct. In the absence of intentional misconduct, we may have to pay contract or other applicable and statutory damages to the government or the military contracting customer. As every investigation, audit or lawsuit stands on its own merits, we can provide no assurance as to whether any investigation, audit or lawsuit, if one occurs, will not adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Our Success Depends On Our Ability To Retain and Recruit Key Personnel Our success depends in large part on our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, and other administrative and staff personnel. In spite of the economic slowdown, competition for such personnel remains intense. In addition, our workforce reductions over fiscal year 2002 have increased our dependence on the remaining personnel, as we are relying on our current personnel to assume additional responsibilities. The loss of services of any of our key personnel or our failure to retain and attract qualified personnel in the future could make it difficult for us to meet our key objectives, such as timely manufacture and delivery of products, among other objectives. OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP CONTINUES AT ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA FACILITY See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding environmental matters. OUR TAX ISSUES WITH THE IRS CONTINUES See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for information relating to our tax liabilities. EMPLOYEES At August 23, 2002, we had approximately 650 employees. Given the growth of our business and the quick response time required by our customers, we seek to maintain labor flexibility to scale up or down our operations as necessary to maximize efficiency. We also use skilled temporary labor. In Europe, approximately 30 of our employees are members of a union. None of our employees in the United States and Thailand are covered by union agreements. We have no history of labor disputes at any of our facilities. We believe that our employee relationships are good. Item 2. PROPERTIES The following table lists our principal plants and properties:
