7 8 TELCO SYSTEMS, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION FOR QUARTER ENDED NOVEMBER 24, 1996 SALES AND NET INCOME Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 55% to $31.8 million compared with $20.5 million in the first quarter of last year. Shipments increased across all product areas, most significantly for broadband products and network access products. Broadband products represented 54% of total sales in fiscal 1997, an increase of 57% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase resulted as telephone company customers increased deployment of broadband products for T1 services in local loop applications. Access products represented 42% of total sales and increased 57% compared with the first quarter of last year. Increased usage of the Company's access products for voice and data network expansion resulted in this growth. The backlog of unfilled orders at quarter-end was $14.4 million, a decrease of $9.6 million compared with the recent year-end backlog of $24.0 million. This decrease resulted since new orders booked during the first quarter of $22.1 million were below first quarter shipments due to early receipt of some customer stocking orders in the fourth quarter of last year. Going forward, the Company expects the quarterly order rate to be more in line with the first quarter shipment level. Net income for the quarter was $2.3 million or $.21 per share which included a one-time gain of $1.1 million or $.10 per share. Net income from operations of $1.2 million or $.11 per share compares favorably with a net loss of $2.6 million or $.26 per share reported in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily related to increased sales volume across all product areas. COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD Cost of products sold represented 61% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with 59% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Lower product margins on initial production of new network access products and increased period costs accounted for this decrease in gross profit percent. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Spending on research and development represented 12% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, a decrease of 14% compared with the first quarter of last year. Lower spending resulted as development efforts for certain broadband products were curtailed in conjunction with the Company's 1996 restructuring program. SALES, MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATION Sales, marketing and administration expense increased 10% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with the same period of last year. This increase was primarily related to increased selling and marketing activities in both the domestic and international marketplace. GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENT During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company liquidated its' equity position in an international distributor of the Company's products due to certain changes in strategic objectives. This investment, which occurred in fiscal 1995, yielded a one-time gain of $1.1 million. AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS Amortization expense relates to the acquisition of the broadband family of products in 1983, certain channel bank products in 1984 and the acquisition of Maganalink Communications Corporation in 1992. Amortization expense was $0.2 million in the first quarters of both fiscal 1997 and 1996. INTEREST INCOME Interest income related to the Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased 57% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 1996. This decrease was 8 9 primarily related to a lower level of average cash equivalents and short-term investments in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with last year. INCOME TAX PROVISION No provision for income tax was recorded on the fiscal 1997 first quarter net income and no tax benefit was available on fiscal 1996 first quarter net loss. Tax benefits relating to prior periods are sufficient to offset net income generated in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the three months ended November 24, 1996, cash and short-term investments increased $2.0 million to $17.0 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, operating activities, investing activities and financing activities each provided cash in the amount of $1.2 million, $2.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Operating activities provided cash of $1.2 million after funding increases in inventory of $2.9 million which was required to support increased operations. Additionally, sales of common stock under various employee stock purchase plans generated $1.3 million. The Company maintains a $10.0 million line of credit with the Bank of Boston which is available until September 30, 1997. Although the Company has made no borrowings against the line in fiscal 1997, approximately $1.1 million has been reserved to support various guarantees in effect at November 24, 1996. Management believes that cash, short-term investments and the availability of its line of credit will be adequate to support operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
