[X] The aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the registrant was $17,700,931 as of September 13, 2000 based upon the closing sale price of $17.125 on the American Stock Exchange on September 13, 2000. The number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 13, 2000 was 1,033,631. PART I Item 1. Business. General Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (the "Company") is engaged principally in the development, design, production and sales of specialized electronic power supplies, a wide variety of transformers and other types of iron-core components, and electronic system components. In some cases, the Company manufactures such products in accordance with pre-developed mechanical and electrical requirements. In other cases, the Company is responsible for both the overall design and manufacture of the product. The Company does not generally manufacture standardized components. The Company operates a one-segment business and was incorporated in 1928. The electronic power supplies and components manufactured by the Company find application principally in (i) shipboard and land based radar, (ii) locomotives, (iii) aircraft, (iv) short, medium range and global communication systems, (v) navigation systems for aircraft, (vi) nuclear submarine control systems, (vii) missile guidance and control systems and (viii) land-based military vehicles. The Company's iron-core components include (i) transformers of the audio, power and pulse types, (ii) magnetic amplifiers and (iii) audio filters. The electronic system components manufactured by the Company include antenna systems and high power radar transmitters. These system components utilize the Company's own electronic power supplies, transformers and other iron-core components and mechanical assemblies. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 (referred to herein as "2000"), the Company's total sales were $14,719,818. Sales to two domestic customers accounted for 29.7% and 26.3% of total sales in 2000. Sales to two domestic customers and one foreign customer accounted for 37.6%, 25.4% and 11.2%, respectively, of total sales in 1999. Sales to three domestic customers accounted for 47.9%, 14.7%, and 12.5%, respectively, of total sales in 1998. Export sales in 2000 and 1999 were approximately $4,200,000 and $2,500,000, respectively, and were not significant in 1998. During 1999, the Company established a foreign sales corporation. Raw Materials The Company has never experienced any significant delay or shortage with respect to the purchase of raw materials and components used in the manufacture of its products, and has at least two potential sources of supply for all raw materials. Sales Backlog At September 13, 2000, the Company's backlog was approximately $28.0 million. The total backlog at June 30, 2000 was approximately $29.1 million as compared to approximately $16.9 million at June 30, 1999. The Company's backlog is discussed in greater detail in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in Item 7, below. It is presently anticipated that a minimum of $15 million of orders comprising the June 30, 2000 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. The minimum of $15 million does not include any shipments which may be made against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. The estimate of the June 30, 2000 backlog to be shipped in fiscal 2001 is subject to future events which may cause the amount of the backlog actually shipped to differ from such estimate. 2 Marketing and Competition The Company markets its products primarily through its own direct sales organization. Business is solicited from Fortune 500 companies, United States and foreign governments and major foreign electronic equipment companies. In certain countries the Company has external sales representatives to help solicit and coordinate foreign contracts. The Company is also on the eligible list of contractors of many agencies of the Department of Defense and generally is automatically solicited by such agencies for procurement needs falling within the major classes of products produced by the Company. In addition, the Company directly solicits bids from both the Department of Defense and other United States Government agencies for prime contracts. There is competition in all classes of products manufactured by the Company, from divisions of the largest electronic companies in the country, as well as many small companies. The Company's sales do not represent a significant share of the industry's market for any class of its products. The principal methods of competition for electronic products of both a military and industrial nature include, among other factors, price, product performance, the experience of the particular company and history of its dealings in such products. The Company, as well as other companies engaged in supplying equipment for military use, is subject to various risks, including, without limitation, dependence on government appropriations and program allocations, the competition for available military business, and government termination of orders for convenience. The Company's business is not considered to be of a seasonal nature. Research and Development The Company's expenditures for research and development were approximately $255,000, $291,000 and $244,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Some of the Company's engineers and technicians spend varying degrees of time on either development of new products or improvement of existing products. Employees The number of persons employed by the Company as of September 13, 2000 was 242. Government Regulations Compliance with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted or adopted to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not in 2000, and the Company believes will not in fiscal 2001 or any succeeding fiscal year, have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company. Item 2. Properties. The Company's principal manufacturing and all of its engineering facilities are at its plant in Saratoga Springs, New York, which the Company owns. The Saratoga Springs plant consists of various closely adjoining one-story buildings. The plant has a sprinkler system throughout and contains approximately 151,000 square feet of floor space, of which 90,000 is used for manufacturing, 24,000 for engineering, 33,000 for shipping and climatically secured storage, and 4,000 for offices. The offices, engineering and some manufacturing areas are air-conditioned. In addition to assembly and wiring operations, the plant includes facilities for varnishing, potting, plating, impregnation and spray painting operations. The manufacturing operation also includes a complete machine shop, with welding and sheet metal fabrication facilities adequate for substantially all of the Company's current operations. Besides normal test equipment, the Company maintains a sophisticated on-site environmental test facility. In addition to meeting all of the Company's 3 in-house needs, the plating, machine shop and environmental facilities are available to other companies on a contract basis. The Company owns an additional manufacturing facility in a three-story building of approximately 4,000 square feet in Gloversville, New York. The facility is used primarily for subcomponent wiring and assembly. The Company maintains a sales office in Great Neck, New York. This space, comprising approximately 750 square feet, is leased from a non-affiliated person for a term expiring on September 9, 2001. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. None Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. Price Range of Common Stock The table below shows the range of high and low prices for the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange, the principal market for trading in the common stock, for each quarterly period for the last two fiscal years ended June 30: 2000 High Low First Quarter 14 3/4 12 1/8 Second Quarter 15 1/4 13 5/8 Third Quarter 15 9/16 12 7/8 Fourth Quarter 15 1/8 13 7/8 1999 High Low First Quarter 14 5/8 12 3/4 Second Quarter 13 3/8 12 3/8 Third Quarter 14 1/8 11 3/4 Fourth Quarter 12 3/4 11 1/4 Holders The approximate number of holders of record of the common stock was 168 on September 13, 2000 according to records of the Company's transfer agent. Included in this number are shares held in "nominee" or "street" name and, therefore, the number of beneficial owners of the common stock is believed to be substantially in excess of the foregoing number. 4 Dividends The Company paid a cash dividend on the common stock of $.20 per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $.70 per share in its fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The Board of Directors has authorized the payment of a fiscal 2001 first quarter dividend of $.05 payable on September 29, 2000 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2000. On a quarterly basis the Board of Directors will consider dividend declarations for fiscal 2001. Item 6. Selected Financial Data. ESPEY MFG. & ELECTRONICS CORP. Five Years Ended June 30, 2000

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations Net Sales for fiscal years ended June 30, 2000, 1999,and 1998, were $14,719,818, $13,629,692, and $10,793,572, respectively. The 8% increase in sales over 1999 is a result of the Company continuing to realize the benefits of intensified sales and marketing efforts in an attempt to increase business with existing customers as well as establishing new customer relationships. These efforts have provided for the continued increase in the sales backlog that has occurred over the last several quarters. The sales backlog at June 30, 2000 was approximately $29.1 million, a 72% increase over the June 30, 1999 backlog. The increase in backlog includes significant orders for the Company's land and shipboard high voltage radar power supply/transmitters, industrial power supplies, and significant contracts to manufacture certain customer products in accordance with pre-developed requirements. The 26% increase in net sales in 1999 as compared to 1998 was also a result of intensified sales and marketing efforts which increased the sales order backlog and allowed the company to ship significantly more in 1999. Significant shipments in 1999 included high voltage radar power supply/transmitters, repair depot, and industrial power supplies. Net income for fiscal 2000, was $782,943 or $.75 per share compared to $730,601 or $.66 per share for fiscal 1999. The 13.6% increase in earnings per share was due to increased net sales, increased internal cost controls, and a decrease in the average number of shares outstanding. Net income for fiscal 1999, was $730,601 or $.66 per share compared to a net loss of $739,602 or ($.67) per 5 share for fiscal 1998. The net income increase was due to increased net sales, favorable product mix and an overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. For fiscal years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 gross profits were $2,735,934, $2,537,676, and $685,953, respectively. Gross profit for fiscal 2000 was a percentage of sales remained consistent with fiscal 1999 at 18.6%. The increase in gross profit between 2000, 1999, and 1998, was predominately due to increased efficiency in the manufacturing and engineering workforces and an increase in net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,002,317 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $155,480, or 8% as compared to the prior year. This increase is mainly attributable to an overall increase in selling expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,846,837 for the year ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $110,279, or 5.6% as compared to the prior year. The reduction is primarily related to a decrease in professional fees, officer's salaries and employment-related expenses. Total other income in fiscal 2000 remained relatively consistent with fiscal 1999. Interest and dividend income decreased as expected, however, this decrease was offset by government grants received related to increased employment. Total other income in fiscal 1999, as compare to fiscal 1998 declined as expected, as the company continued to increase the backlog and improve overall net sales, more cash was being utilized in operations for inventory and higher accounts receivable balances during fiscal 1999. This trend left the company with less cash to invest in interest bearing securities. Also, interest rates declined slightly in fiscal 1999 from fiscal 1998. Business Outlook The Company continues to increase net sales while also increasing the existing sales backlog. The sales backlog of $28.0 million as of September 13, 2000, gives the Company a solid base to grow over the next few years. In addition to the backlog, the Company currently has outstanding quotations in excess of $22 million for both repeat and new programs. The Company has received major contracts for power supplies which should find extensive use throughout the world. The Company also expects to receive substantial orders for spare parts on the various types of transmitters which are already in the field, and a number of contracts for further development and manufacture of numerous transformers. The outstanding quotations encompass various new and previously manufactured power supplies, transformers, and subassemblies. Management presently anticipates that the Company will realize both an increase in revenues and income in 2001, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any or all of the proposed orders described above since such a forward-looking statement is subject to future events, market conditions, political stability of foreign governments, and allocations of the United States defense budget. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital is an appropriate indicator of the liquidity of its business, and during the past three fiscal years, the Company, when possible, has funded all of its operations with cash flows resulting from operating activities and when necessary from its existing cash and investments. The Company did not borrow any funds during the last three fiscal years. On April 26, 2000, management established a $3,000,000 line of credit to help fund further growth, if necessary, but does not anticipate the need for any borrowed funds in the foreseeable future. The Company's working capital as of June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $21,211,145, $20,816,988, and $20,425,678, respectively. During 2000 and 1999 the Company repurchased 30,027 and 47,562 shares, respectively, of its common stock from the Company's ESOP and in other private and public transactions, for a total purchase price of $403,472 and $604,226,respectively. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during fiscal year 1998. Under existing 6 authorizations from the Company's Board of Directors, as of September 13, 2000, management is authorized to purchase an additional $925,750 worth of Company stock. The table below presents the summary of cash flow information for the fiscal year indicated: 2000 1999 ---- ---- Net cash used in operating activities............. $2,076,644 $ 2,947,631 Net cash provided by investing activities......... 2,691,701 3,541,565 Net cash used in financing activities............. 612,201 821,338 Net cash used in operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection of accounts receivable, purchases of inventory, level of sales and payment of accounts payable. The cash provided by investing activities is due to the maturities of the Company's investment securities with no offsetting purchase of new investments as the Company needed the funds to support current operations. The decrease in cash used in financing activities is due to the decrease in the amount of treasury stock purchased during 2000 as explained above. The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and when necessary, from cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its long-term funding requirements. Management believes that the Company's reserve for bad debts of $3,000 is adequate given the customers with whom the Company deals. The amount of bad debts over the years has been minimal. During fiscal year 2000, and 1999, the Company expended approximately $782,100 and $508,000, respectively, for plant improvements and new equipment. The Company plans to expend approximately $385,000 for new equipment and plant improvements in fiscal 2001. Management presently anticipates that the funds required will be available from current operations. Management Restructuring At the end of the fiscal 1998, the Company implemented a management succession plan. The plan was effectuated through agreements with five executive officers of the Company: Joseph Canterino (former President and Chief Executive Officer), Barry Pinsley (former Vice President-Investor Relations and Human Resources), Seymour Saslow (Senior Vice President), Herbert Potoker (Treasurer and Principal Financial Officer) and Reita Wojtowecz (Secretary). Under the terms of the agreements, the executives agreed to resign from their positions as executive officers and are being compensated in accordance with their respective agreements. The implementation of this plan resulted in the Company recording in fiscal 1998 a $479,500 pre-tax charge for payments due under the contracts and costs related to the implementation of the plan. The costs of the plan are being paid with cash flows from the Company's operating activities. At June 30, 2000 approximately $142,000 remains to be paid under these agreements. Other Matters An Employee Retirement Plan and Trust ("ESOP") was established for the eligible non-union employees of the Company and was effective as of July 1, 1988. The ESOP used the proceeds of a loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common stock for approximately $8,400,000, and the Company contributed approximately $400,000 to the ESOP, which was used by the ESOP to purchase an additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Each year the Company makes contributions to the ESOP, which are used to make loan interest and principal payments. With each loan and interest payment, a 7 portion of the common stock will be allocated to participating employees. As of June 30, 2000, there were 197,137 shares allocated to participants. Dividends attributable to allocated shares were likewise allocated to the participants' accounts, whereas the dividends on unallocated shares were used as part of the loan repayment, thus reducing the Company's required contribution. The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual installments of $1,039,605, including interest through June 30, 2004. Interest is payable at a rate of 9% per annum. The Company's receivable from the ESOP is recorded as common stock subscribed in the accompanying balance sheets. Year 2000 Issues The Company's information technology systems successfully completed the transition into the year 2000. The beginning of the new year resulted in no adverse or negative impact on operations. The Company believes that the risk associated with the year 2000 problem has been identified and eliminated. The Company will continue to evaluate the 2000 readiness of its business systems and significant vendors to ensure a complete transition through the year 2000. The estimated total cost of the year 2000 assessment and remediation plan has been less than $25,000.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. 15 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary (the Company) is a manufacturer of electronic equipment used primarily in military and industrial applications. The principal markets for the Company's products are companies that provide electronic support to both military and industrial applications. During 1999, the Company established a foreign sales corporation (subsidiary). Inventory Valuation and Revenue Recognition Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued at weighted average cost. Inventoried work relating to contracts in process and work in process is valued at actual production cost, including factory overhead and initial set-up costs incurred to date. Work in process represents spare units and parts and other inventory items acquired or produced to service units previously sold or to meet anticipated future orders. The cost elements of contracts in process consist of production costs of goods and services currently in process and overhead relative to those contracts where such costs are reimbursable under the terms of the contracts. Provision for losses on contracts is made when existence of such losses becomes evident. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced. Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months. Revenue is recognized on contracts in the period in which the units are delivered and billed (unit-of-delivery method). Depreciation Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Income Taxes The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In addition, SFAS No. 109 requires that the tax benefit of tax deductible dividends on unallocated ESOP shares be recorded as a direct addition to retained earnings rather than as a reduction of income tax expense. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less. 16 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Investment Securities The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Investment securities at June 30, 2000 and 1999 consist of U.S. Treasury securities and corporate equity securities. The Company classifies U.S. Treasury securities and corporate equity securities as available-for-sale. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings and are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Stock-Based Compensation The intrinsic value method of accounting is used for stock-based compensation plans. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount of an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Per Share Amounts Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Comprehensive Income In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and is presented in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the SFAS No. 130 requirements. Components of other comprehensive income include unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale. There were no realized gains (losses) included in net income requiring reclassification adjustments to other comprehensive income. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Tax Credits Investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense in the year taxes payable are reduced. 17 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 has subsequently been amended by SFAS No. 137, issued June 1999, which delays the effective date for implementation of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management believes SFAS No. 133 will not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and, among other issues clarifies the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan; the accounting consequences of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The Company has applied the applicable provisions of FIN 44 which did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 18 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Investment Securities Investment securities at June 30, 2000, consist of U.S. Treasury bills and corporate equity securities, which are classified as available-for-sale securities, and recorded at market value. The cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of available-for-sale securities by major security type at June 30, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:
Gross Unrealized Gross Unrealized 2000 Cost Holding Gains Holding Losses Fair Value ---------- ---------------- -------------- ----------- U.S. Treasury bills $ - $ - $ - $ - Corporate equity securities 819,005 - 169,005 650,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 819,005 $ - $ 169,005 $ 650,000 ========== ========== ========== ========== 1999 U.S. Treasury bills $2,915,161 $ - $ - $2,915,161 Corporate equity securities 819,005 - 59,997 759,008 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $3,734,166 $ - $ 59,997 $3,674,169 ========== ========== ========== ==========
The U.S. Treasury bills classified as available-for-sale at June 30, 1999 matured during 2000. The change in unrealized holding losses on available for sale investment securities net of tax was $69,046 and $45,435 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 3. Contracts in Process Contracts in process at June 30, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:
2000 1999 Gross contract value $ 29,128,352 $ 16,961,238 Costs related to contracts in process, net of progress payments of $537,468 in 2000 and $-0- in 1999 $ 10,889,930 $ 7,856,607
Included in costs relating to contracts in process at June 30, 2000 and 1999 are costs of $748,722 and $298,814, respectively, relative to contracts that may not be completed within the ensuing year. Under the unit-of-delivery method, the related sale and cost of sales will not be reflected in the statement of income until the units under contract are shipped. 19 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Property, Plant and Equipment A summary of the original cost of property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2000 and 1999 is as follows: 2000 1999 Land $ 50,000 $ 50,000 Buildings and improvements 3,992,041 3,952,869 Machinery and equipment 8,755,010 8,477,396 Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 367,992 371,560 --------------- ------------ $ 13,165,043 $ 12,851,825 =============== ============ Estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows: Buildings and improvements 15-20 years Machinery and equipment 10 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 10 years 5. Line of Credit At June 30, 2000, the Company has an available unused Line of Credit with a financial institution. The agreement provides that the Company may borrow up to $3,000,000. The line generally provides for interest at prime minus fifty basis points. 6. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs charged to operations during the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $255,000, $291,000, and $244,000, respectively. 7. Pension Expense Under terms of a negotiated union contract, the Company is obligated to make contributions to a union-sponsored defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees. Such contributions are based upon hours worked at a specified rate and amounted to $88,660 in 2000, $64,829 in 1999, and $54,269 in 1998. 20 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes A summary of the components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:
2000 1999 1998 Current tax expense (benefit) - federal $ 295,400 $ 313,000 $ (195,179) Current tax expense - state 11,000 4,000 427 Deferred tax expense (benefit) 103,600 85,000 (220,618) ------------- -------------- ------------- $ 410,000 $ 402,000 $ (415,370) ============= ============== =============
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of "temporary differences" between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts measured by tax laws and regulations. These "temporary differences" are determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The combined U.S. federal and state effective income tax rates of 34.4%, 35.5% and (36.0)% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, differed from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate for the following reasons: 2000 1999 1998 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 34% 34% (34.0)% Increase (reduction) in rate resulting from: Dividends received deduction (1.2) (0.5) - State franchise tax, net of federal income tax benefit 1.7 2.3 (2.4) Foreign sales corporation benefit (1.0) (1.1) - Other .9 0.8 .4 ----- ------ ----- Effective tax rate 34.4% 35.5% (36.0)% ===== ====== ===== 21 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes, Continued For the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 deferred income tax expense of $103,600 and $85,000, respectively, result from the changes in temporary differences for each year. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 are presented as follows:
2000 1999 Deferred tax assets: Inventory - differences in valuation methods $150,945 $161,194 Unrealized loss on available-for-sale investment securities 61,779 25,557 Common stock subscribed - due to difference in interest recognition 407,791 449,891 Non-deductible accruals 152,100 154,810 Other 16,695 13,353 -------- -------- Total deferred tax assets 789,310 804,805 -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment - principally due to differences in depreciation methods 401,275 407,524 Inventory - effect of uniform capitalization 81,810 27,417 -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities 483,085 434,941 -------- -------- Net deferred tax asset $306,225 $369,864 ======== ========
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the schedule reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projection for future taxable income over the period in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these temporary differences without consideration of a valuation allowance. 9. Common Stock and Income Per Share Income per share information is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. The weighted average number of shares used in the computation was 1,045,520 in 2000, 1,100,065 in 1999, and 1,111,220 in 1998. 22 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Significant Customers A significant portion of the Company's business is the production of military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the U.S. Government and its agencies and certain industrial customers. Sales to two domestic customers accounted for 29.7% and 26.3%, respectively of total sales in 2000. Sales to two domestic customers and one foreign customer accounted for 37.6%, 25.4% and 11.2%, respectively, of total sales in 1999. Sales to three domestic customers accounted for 47.9%, 14.7% and 12.5%, respectively, of total sales in 1998. Export sales aggregated approximately $4,200,000 and $2,500,000 for years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Export sales in 1998 were not significant. 11. Stock Rights Plan The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan which expires on December 31, 2009. Under this plan, common stock purchase rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock outstanding as of or issued subsequent to April 14, 1989. Each right entitles the holder thereof to buy one-half share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $50 per share subject to adjustment. The rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the offer or, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock. If a 15% or larger shareholder should engage in certain self-dealing transactions or a merger with the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation and its shares of common stock are not changed or converted into equity securities of any other person, or if any person were to become the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock, than each right not owned by such shareholder or related parties of such shareholder (all of which will be void) will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of the Company's common stock having a value of twice the right's exercise price. In addition, if the Company is involved in any other merger or consolidation with, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power to, another person, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of common stock of such other person having a value of twice the right's exercise price. The Company generally is entitled to redeem the rights at one cent per right at any time until the 15th day (or 25th day if extended by the Company's Board of Directors) following public announcement that a 15% position has been acquired or the commencement of a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the offer or, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock. 23 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Employee Stock Ownership Plan In 1989, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for eligible non-union employees. The ESOP used the proceeds of a loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common stock for approximately $8.4 million and the Company contributed approximately $400,000 in 1989 to the ESOP which was used by the ESOP to purchase an additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Since inception of the Plan, the ESOP has sold or distributed 66,628 shares of the Company's common stock to pay benefits to participants. At June 30, 2000 and 1999, the ESOP held a total of 281,185 and 272,692 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock, of which 197,137 and 167,632 shares, respectively, were allocated to participants in the Plan. The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual installments of $1,039,605, including interest, through June 30, 2004. Interest is payable at a rate of 9% per annum. The Company's receivable from the ESOP is recorded as common stock subscribed in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company recognizes the principal payments of the ESOP debt, on a straight-line basis over the term of the note, as compensation expense. Each year, the Company makes contributions to the ESOP which are used to make loan payments. With each loan payment, a portion of the common stock is allocated to participating employees. For the periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 21,012 shares were allocated to participants. In 2000, the Company's required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by $21,012 which represents the dividends paid on the unallocated ESOP shares. The resulting payment of $1,018,593 includes $537,650 classified as compensation expense. In 1999, the Company's required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by $25,214, which represents the dividends paid on the unallocated ESOP shares. The resulting payment of $1,014,319 includes $533,449 classified as compensation expense. In 1998, the Company's required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by $102,952, which represents the dividends paid on the unallocated ESOP shares. The resulting payment of $936,646 includes $455,704 classified as compensation expense. All shares purchased by the ESOP are considered to be outstanding for the income per share computations. 13. Stock Options During fiscal 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved, the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, incentive and non-qualified stock options will be granted to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2000 the Plan was authorized to issue 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options granted under the Plan have been granted at not less than the fair market value at the grant date and vest over a maximum period of ten years. On March 1, 2000, 11,500 stock options were granted under the plan which vest over two years. As of June 30, 2000 no options were forfeited. 24 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. Stock Options, Continued The Company has elected to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for the Plan. Under APB 25, no compensation expense has been recognized in 2000. Had compensation cost and fair value been determined pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123) "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", net income would have decreased from $782,943 to $778,296. The options outstanding did not create any difference between basic and diluted earnings per share. The initial impact of FAS 123 on pro forma earnings per share may not be representative of the effect on income in future years because options vest over several years and additional option grants may be made each year. The weighted average fair value of options granted under FAS 123 was $3.71 in 2000. The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for the grants: dividend yield of 2.5%; expected volatility of 16.4% ; risk-free interest rates of 6%; and expected life of 5 years. 14. Financial Instruments/Concentration of Credit Risk The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, short-term investments, investment securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. As disclosed in Note 10, a significant portion of the Company's business is the production of military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the U.S. Government and its agencies and certain industrial customers. The related accounts receivable balance represented by three customers was 64% and 93.2% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Although the Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment of these balances is affected by conditions or occurrences within the U.S. Government, the Company believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and requires collateral, such as progress payments, in certain circumstances. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. 25 Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. Commitments The Company under an operating lease agreement rents a sales office in Great Neck, New York. This lease, which expires on September 9, 2001, requires future minimum lease payments of $14,222 payable as follows: Year ending June 30, 2001 12,190 2002 2,032 ---------------------- $ 14,222 ====================== Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $12,190, $18,674, and $12,398, respectively. 16. Other Costs During 1999 the Company implemented a management succession plan that involves agreements with five members of management. These agreements require the Company to pay certain amounts for a period of approximately two years after the employees' resignations from the Company in exchange for the employees' agreements to be available to the Company on an as-needed basis. Since there is no minimum service required by the agreements, the Company accrued for these payments on the effective date of the plan as the employees are eligible for the benefit at that date. At June 30, 1999, approximately $306,000 was accrued to record the liabilities relating to these agreements. At June 30, 2000, $142,000 remained to be paid to these individuals. 17. Related Parties The Company paid a law firm in which a director of the Company is a partner, a total of $42,000 for legal services during each fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The Company paid a director of the Company, a total of approximately $15,975 and $15,600 for consulting services during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 18.
