EMCEE BROADCAST PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EMCEE Broadcast Products, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments and accruals that management believes is necessary to fairly state the operating resultss for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under item 310 of Regulation S-B. The notes to the condensed financial statements should be ready in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financials contained in the Company's Form 10- KSB for the year ended March 31, 2001. The Company's management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. 2. The results of operations for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 3. At December 31, 2001, cash equivalents included $100,000 invested in a money market portfolio. 4. INVENTORIES consisted of the following: Dec. 31, 2001 March 31, 2001 (UNAUDITED) FINISHED GOODS $ 372,000 $ 433,000 WORK-IN-PROCESS $ 642,000 $ 731,000 RAW MATERIALS $1,470,000 $1,225,000 MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS $1,146,757 $1,710,919 -------- --------- $3,630,757 $4,099,919 ========= ========= Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates current actual cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION. The Company has two operating segments which manufacture and sell a variety of products; EMCEE and ABS. EMCEE manufactures principally multi-channel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) equipment. ABS manufactures medium to high power UHF television transmitters. The following is a summary of certain financial information relating to the two segments: Dec. 31, 2001 Dec. 31, 2000 -------------------------------------- Total Revenue by Segment: EMCEE $ 2,241,886 $ 4,126,937 ABS $ 2,101,595 $ 1,105,357 Operating Income (Loss) by Segment: EMCEE $(1,951,453) $(1,123,352) ABS $ 25,797 $ (73,778) Identifiable Assets by Segment: EMCEE $ 5,431,000 $ 7,294,000 ABS $ 588,000 $ 972,000 Corporate $ 270,000 $ 836,000 ---------- ---------- Total Assets $ 6,289,000 $ 9,112,000 ========== ========== Depreciation and Amortization by Segment: EMCEE $ 96,000 $ 139,000 ABS $ 75,000 $ 74,000 ------ ------- Total $ 171,000 $ 213,000 ======= ======= Capital Expenditures by Segment: EMCEE $ 43,000 ====== The Company evaluates segment performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest, other income/expense and taxes. 6. LOSS PER SHARE. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. There were no dilutive potential common shares in the period ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 because the assumed exercise of the options would be anti-dilutive. 7. DEFERRED TAX ASSET. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,667,000. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. The Company has suffered significant losses during the last few years. The ability to generate future taxable income of levels significant enough to realize any portion of the benefit of tax asset has become questionable. As such, the Company has established a valuation allowance covering 100% of the deferred tax asset. 8. LONG-TERM DEBT. On June 7, 2001, the Company's indebtedness was refinanced with $1,500,00 and $500,000 term loans. The notes mature in 2016 and 2006, and require monthly payments of $15,214 and $10,379, respectively. Interest is calculated at 9% for the $500,000 term loan and 2.0% above the national prime rate for the $1,500,000 term loan. The interest rate of the $1,500,000 note adjusts every three years. These loans are collateralized by principally all assets of the Company and contain certain financial and restrictive covenants. In addition, both loans contain prepayment penalties. Principal repayment of the refinanced loans and other debt is as follows: 2002 $ 108,000 2003 149,000 2004 158,000 2005 173,000 2006 188,000 Thereafter 1,180,357 --------- $1,956,357 ========= 9. Issuance of shares: In June, 2001, the Company entered into two stock option agreements which were exercised and provided for the issuance of 800,000 shares of common stock at $.75 per share. 10. Operations: As reported in the accompanying financial statement, the Company has incurred a net loss from operations of $1,926,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalent balances are being maintained through aggressive cash flow. The Company has limited ability to secure additional funds from debt or equity transactions. These factors, as well as inactivity in both the broadcast and MMDS industries, create a level of doubt concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that, despite the financial, operational and market condition burdens, it has the expertise, talent and skill to significantly improve operating results. The Company, with the resignation of the President/CEO, is undergoing an organizational restructuring. Additionally, a new business plan and a redefinition of corporate goals and objectives is currently under development. Independent Accountants' Report Officers and Directors EMCEE Broadcast Products, Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of EMCEE Broadcast Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index at December 31, 2001 and for the periods ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit con- ducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of EMCEE Broadcast Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated June 26, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ KRONICK KALADA BERDY & CO. Kingston, Pennsylvania February 12, 2002 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 Any statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are forwarding looking statements; and, therefore, many important facts could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. Such factors include, but not limited to, changes (legislative, regulatory and otherwise) in the Multi-Channel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) or Low Power Television (LPTV)industries or medium to high power high definition television (HDTV) products, demand for the Company's products (both domestically and internationally), the development of competitive products, competitive pricing, the timing of foreign shipments, market acceptance of new product introductions (including, but not limited to, the Company's digital and internet products), technological changes, economic conditions, litigation and other factors, risks and uncertainties identified in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. EMCEE BROADCAST PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2002, which ended December 31, 2001, were $1,260,000 compared to $1,781,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2001. Sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $4,343,000 and $5,232,000, respectively. Sales attributable to the subsidiary Advanced Broadcast Systems, Inc. (ABS), which was acquired in April 2000,were $2,102,000 and $1,105,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The improvement in ABS sales was offset by a decline in foreign sales. Foreign sales declined from $2,962,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 to $784,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. For the last several years, foreign sales have been more than half of total sales for the Company. However, foreign sales have declined due primarily to international economic conditions and the credit worthiness of our historical customer base. A comparison of export shipments by region for the quarters and nine-month period ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are as follows: Quarter Ended Dec. 31, Nine-Months Ending Dec. 31, 2001* 2000* 1999* 2001* 2000* 1999* Region (000's omitted) (000's omitted) - ------- ----------------------------------------------------- Asia/Pacific Rim $117 $151 $740 $122 $1,516 $1,015 Middle East 0 385 172 0 393 372 South America 121 269 0 363 698 140 North America 4 0 341 4 47 368 Central America 5 2 83 17 26 102 Caribbean 43 35 332 144 104 423 Europe 13 0 342 79 83 365 Africa 11 0 52 11 0 52 Other 0 15 112 44 95 155 -- --- ---- --- ----- ---- $314 $857 $2,174 $784 $2,962 $2,992 === === ===== === ===== ===== *Based on customers with $2,500 or more of sales. Management anticipates that domestic demand, especially for medium and high power products, will be the significant component of sales for the next year or two. Gross profit (loss) totaled $(9,000) and $263,000 for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2001, respectively. Margin on sales was (0.7%) and 6.1% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001 compared with 14.9% and 19.2% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2000. The significant erosion of margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 is primarily the result of low shipping volume and a change in the anticipated margin on a significant installation contract. The Company recognizes revenues on installation contracts on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of individual contracts determined under the cost-to-cost method of accounting. During the third quarter additional unanticipated costs were incurred on a transmitter installation contract and the revenue previously recognized on this contract required adjustment. Additionally, during the quarter, the Company closed a manufacturing facility for three weeks. This had a negative impact on margins for the quarter in that volume generated did not allow for absorption of overhead incurred. The industry wide stagnation in the multi-channel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) is continuing. Manufacturers and distributors of MMDS equipment continue to compromise profit in order to retain market share. Sales volume and production levels are still below acceptable levels. Selling expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $726,000 and $844,000, respectively. The decline in expense is consistent with the decline in sales volume. General and administrative expenses increased approximately 19% from $1,040,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 to $1,238,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts in the amount of $210,000. The reserve increased due to management's concern over the collection of foreign accounts. Research and development expenses declined as the engineering department dedicated more time to sales support and specific customer orders rather than new product development for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the aforementioned, losses from operations increased from $1,197,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 to $1,926,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. Interest income declined significantly from $95,000 to $6,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and cash and cash equivalent balances were depleted during fiscal 2001 to meet operating needs. The increase in other income (expense) from ($1,510) for the nine months ended December 31, 2000 to $70,393 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 is due to the sale of a non-operating assets for a net profit of approximately $61,000. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,667,000. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. The Company has suffered significant losses during the last few years. The ability to generate future taxable income of levels significant enough to realize any portion of the benefit of tax asset has become questionable. Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance covering 100% of the deferred tax asset. The Registrant has incurred a net loss from operations of $1,926,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2001. The Registrant has limited ability to secure additional funds from debt or equity transactions. These factors, as well as inactivity in both the broadcast and MMDS industries, create a level of doubt concerning the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that, despite the financial, operational and market condition burdens, it has the expertise, talent and skill to significantly improve operating results. The Registrant, with the resignation of the President/CEO, is undergoing an organizational restructuring. A good portion of the third quarter ended December 31, 2001 was spent evaluating core business strategies, marketing approaches and lines of business to pursue. The Company is now realigning itself to the extent possible to implement a plan to stabilize finances and position itself for profitability. A new business plan and a redefinition of corporate goals and objectives are currently under development. Financial condition Cash and cash equivalents increased from $69,000 as of March 31,2001 to $421,000 as of December 31, 2001. In June 2001, the Company's indebtedness was refinanced. The refinancing net of fees, loan closing costs and debt reserve fund requirement of $100,000 provided a cash infusion of approximately $804,000. Additionally, in June, the Company entered into two stock option agreements which were exercised and provided for the issuance of 800,000 shares of common stock at $.75 per share. The loan proceeds and proceeds from stock issuance were used to pay trade vendors and to fund current operating losses. Net increase in cash and cash equivalents excluding the restricted balance was $352,000 at December 31, 2001. Accounts receivable net of reserve for doubtful accounts decreased from $1,628,000 at March 31, 2001 to $584,674 at December 31, 2001. A settlement agreement with a defaulting Korean customer, among other items, permitted offsetting certain deposits and commissions payable with the amounts receivable from this Korean customer. These offsets accounted for the majority of the decline in accounts receivable. Another factor was the $210,000 increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company entered into an agreement with a Brazilian customer for extended payment terms. The receivable amount of $355,574 has been reclassified as an Other Asset. That customer is fulfilling their obligations under the agreement. Prepaid expenses increased from $160,000 as of March 31, 2001 to $229,000 as of December 31, 2001. The increase is due to payments for insurance coverage. Land and land improvements decreased by $11,000 as approximately 6 acres of land was sold for $100,000 to provide cash to meet operating needs. Other assets decreased from $2,398,000 at March 31, 2001 to $807,167 at December 31, 2001. The decrease is due to the valuation allowance established on the deferred tax asset during the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and the sale of the Company's 50% ownership in Grand Forks Wireless at the exercise of the other partner's purchase option. This sale allowed for the reallocation of resources to our core business. Other Assets also includes the receivable of the Brazilian customer discussed above. Accounts payable decreased from $756,000 at March 31, 2001 to $740,000 at December 31, 2001. Continued loss from operations and timing of customer deposits on orders has affected our cash flow. Customer deposits decreased from $915,000 at March 31, 2001 to $594,000. Of this decrease, approximately $140,000 relates to the offset of deposits from a defaulting Korean customer with the outstanding receivable balance. The remaining decrease is largely due to the stage of contracts at month end and the extent of progress billing on long-term contracts. Other accrued expenses declined from $608,000 at March 31, 2001 to $110,000 at December 31, 2001. As previously discussed, a settlement agreement was reached with the Korean customer and allowed for netting of certain amounts due against the outstanding receivable. Approximately $450,000 in commissions payable were offset against the corresponding receivable. Long term debt increased approximately $820,000 as the Company refinanced its debt. On June 7, 2001, the Registrant entered into a guaranteed loan agreement with First Federal Bank of Hazleton and the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development Division. The Registrant secured a $500,000 term loan and a $1,500,000 mortgage loan. Of the aggregate $2,000,000, approximately $1,035,000 was used to satisfy outstanding debt including approximately $25,000 in legal fees to First Union. One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) is being held by First Federal Bank and Rural Development in a debt reserve fund as cash collateral. The remaining balance of $804,000 provided an infusion of cash to meet working capital demand. Shares of treasury stock decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 2002 by 29,764 and a value of $24,500. These unregistered shares were issued to directors in lieu of cash for payment of directors fees. As previously discussed, during the first quarter of 2002, the Company entered into two stock option agreements which were exercised and provided $600,000 in equity in exchange for 800,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $13,333. The back log of unsold orders for the Company totaled $2,655,594 as of December 31, 2001, compared to $2,047,000 as of March 31, 2001. Employment for the Company totaled 45 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees as of December 31, 2001. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company filed a collection lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, on April 3, 2001, against Korea Multinet, Inc. and John and Jungon Jung (No. 2233-C of 2001). The suit relates primarily to outstanding indebtedness which Korea Multinet, Inc. owes the Company for the purchase of the Company's MMDS products. The Jungs are parties to the suit because they are sureties (guarantors) of this indebtedness. The Company is seeking damages in the amount of $1,400,758.03 plus interest and costs of suit. During August and September 2001, the Company reached a settlement agreement with this Korean customer. The settlement agreement offset certain deposits and commissions payable on these sales against the outstanding receivable balance and called for scheduled monthly payments on the remaining balance. The defendant made the first scheduled payment of $50,000, but has failed to make any additional payments. Accordingly, they are in default of the settlement agreement. The Registrant is currently evaluating options to pursue collection of the remaining balance. Given the Registrant's understanding of the current financial status of the defendants in this case, collection of this receivable is questionable. In anticipation of this event, the Registrant has already increased its reserve for bad debts to $598,000 and offset $602,000 of certain deposits and commissions payable against this receivable. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereto duly authorized.
