The consolidated financial statements and related notes are condensed and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods; consequently, they do not include all generally accepted accounting disclosures required for complete annual financial statements. These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's 1993 Annual Report. Note 2 - Income Taxes The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which supersedes Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 11 that the Company had previously followed. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 effective August 1, 1993 and recorded a $1,420,000 increase in consolidated net income from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes. In addition, the Company increased the value of patents and other intangibles of Corneal Contouring, Inc., a subsidiary acquired in March of 1992, by $2,380,000 and increased net deferred tax liabilities by $960,000. As a result of these items, the Company's equity was increased by $1,420,000 as of August 1, 1993. Note 3 - Reclassification Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Three Months Ended January 30, 1994 Sales were strong for most of the Company's operating units during the quarter but a sharp decline in intraocular lens sales and the prior year divestiture of a division caused modest comparative sales growth for the period. The Consumer Optical Group posted a 13% increase in sales with strong revenue gains for finished eyewear and contact lenses through Omega Optical. Industrial product line shipments showed a 73% gain over the prior year period with excellent results for ceramic lamps and fiber optic illuminators that are primarily used in endoscopic medical systems. Photo exposure system sales were also up significantly for the quarter. The Company commenced sales of the MasterVue trademark Corneal Topography system during the quarter and while initial sales were modest for the period, customer acceptance was very encouraging. Offsetting these appreciable sales gains was a precipitous 46% drop in intraocular lens revenue. This decline was attributable to a variety of factors including the impoundment, in November, 1993 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of all one-piece IOL models in finished goods inventory (see Item 5. Other Events to this filing). This action, in turn, caused some customer defection and product shortages that reduced sales. Additionally, market dynamics remained unfavorable with lower average selling prices and a shift to foldable lens designs. Lastly, on a comparative basis, sales showed a $1.2 million decline because the Cinema Products Division was sold last year. Gross profit margins fell to 34% for the current period from 39% for the comparable prior year period or, in absolute terms, a decline of $1.4 million. Most of the Company's operating units had stable gross profit margins for the quarter but with two notable exceptions. The Lamp Division was able to leverage much higher sales by spreading overhead and widening their margins. The intraocular lens product line was just the opposite as dramatically lower sales shrunk overhead absorption and caused a 60% drop in absolute gross profit dollars. Another negative factor impacting gross profit was incremental expenses associated with the FDA impoundment action. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained unchanged for the quarter at 28% of sales. Marketing expenses dropped slightly while administrative expenses rose slightly. Research and development expenses dropped approximately $.2 million to $2.0 million. The elimination of the Cinema Products Division and reduced expenses on the MasterVue product line, as it reaches commercialization, were primarily responsible for this drop in R&D charges. Interest expense was down slightly reflecting a small reduction in mortgage debt outstanding while interest income was down because of much lower short term interest rates. The current period generated a pretax loss of $237,000 versus the prior year's profit of $1,229,000. This swing in pretax results was caused by the deterioration in the operating performance of the IOL product line. For the second quarter, the IOL product line lost $1,233,000 as compared to a pretax profit of $944,000 for the prior year's comparable quarter. The current period's IOL product line loss included approximately $230,000 of expenses relating to the FDA impoundment action. The tax rate for the quarter was 29%, unchanged from the first quarter. The tax rate for the Company is heavily influenced by the distribution of income between Puerto Rico and U.S. based sources. A net loss of $.2 million, equal to $.03 per share, was generated for the quarter as compared to net income of $.9 million, or $.14 per share, for the prior year period. Six Months Ended January 30, 1994 The Consumer Optical Group posted a 13% sales gain for the six month period with strong revenue gains for finished eyewear and contact lenses through the Company's Omega Optical subsidiary. The Company's two industrial products divisions recorded a 50% sales increase for the same period with increased demand for xenon lamps and photo exposure systems. Nearly offsetting these sales gains was a significant decrease in sales for intraocular lenses because of several factors. The FDA impoundment action in November, 1993 adversely affected shipments to customers and caused some account defection. Average selling prices for IOL's have continued to decline which has caused gross profit margin compression and the market is slowly shifting towards foldable IOLs. The Company's competitive foldable IOL, MemoryLens registered trademark, is still in clinical study. Last year, during the third quarter, the Cinema Products division was sold which, on a comparable basis, eliminated $3.0 million of sales for the six month period. With these sales excluded, total sales for the period were up 6%. Gross profit margin slipped to 36% for the first half from 39% last year. Most of this margin erosion occurred because of lower unit shipments and lower average selling prices for intraocular lenses. The Lamp division had noticeably better margins on higher sales and lower unit manufacturing costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses were stable for the six month period at 27% to sales. Marketing expenses were down slightly while administrative charges were up marginally. Research and development was essentially unchanged for the comparative periods at $4.2 million. The Company's primary research and development efforts continue to be concentrated on the MemoryLens, the MasterVue Corneal Topography system and a mechanical method for refractive surgery. Interest expense was stable but interest income dropped because of sharply lower short term interest rates. Other income and expense was favorable reflecting the expense, last year, of an extended reporting option on an insurance policy. For the six-month period, pretax profit was $1.4 million compared to $3.2 million the prior year. This difference in pretax results is attributable to a profit decline for the IOL product line. Last year, this product line produced a pretax profit of $1.7 million as compared to a pretax loss of $1.8 million for the current six-month period. The tax rate for the first half was 29% which is down from 31% the prior year. The Company's tax rate is heavily influenced by the distribution of income between Puerto Rico and U.S. based sources. Net income before the cumulative effect for the adoption of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", was $1.0 million as compared to $2.2 million the prior year. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 added $1.4 million to net income for the first half. Financial Condition Cash flow was negative by $3.7 million and $6.2 million for the second quarter and first half, respectively. For the current quarter, the Company repurchased 196,000 shares of its common stock during the quarter at a cost of $2.7 million. Inventories increased by $1.9 million because of: 1) above normal ophthalmic lens purchases at Omega because of special vendor pricing, 2) a large buildup of work-in-process inventory relating to photo exposure systems that will ship the second half of the year, and 3) an increase of inventory to support initial sales of the new MasterVue system. Other current assets increased by $.7 million relating to payments made to settle product liability claims that should be covered by an umbrella insurance carrier (see Item 1. Litigation to this filing). Lastly, cash was used to make two quarterly tax estimation payments to the Federal and various state taxing authorities. Despite this heavy use of cash for the quarter, the current ratio remained unchanged at 3.8. Capital expenditures were $.8 million for the quarter and are projected at $4 to $5 million for the entire fiscal year. The Company has $2.3 million in inventory that represents intraocular lenses impounded by the FDA in their action of November, 1993 (see Item 5. Other Events to this filing). These intraocular lenses have a five year shelf life and represent some of the most popular intraocular lens models sold by the Company. The Company is hopeful that this dispute with the FDA will be resolved in a relatively short period of time. However, the Company is building replacement inventory to service customer demands. Depending on when the FDA releases this impounded inventory, a future loss contingency may be required depending upon circumstances at that time. The Company has a non-committed credit line of $5 million from its lead bank for which it pays no fees but has no current plans to convert this to a committed facility as it expects cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund ongoing business activity. The Company is not aware of any circumstance which would adversely impact its liquidity or capital resources in the near future. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Litigation Through the second quarter, the Company had paid, but deferred for financial reporting purposes, approximately $3.2 million in product liability claim settlements and expenses relating to coverage that should be provided by Agricultural Excess and Surplus Insurance Company ("Agricultural"). Agricultural was the first layer products liability umbrella insurance carrier in the year these claims were originally asserted. Agricultural has refused to pay or reimburse the Company for expenses and claim settlements and has sought judicial confirmation on the appropriateness of this action. The Company believes that action by Agricultural is without merit and has filed for Summary Judgment in addition to counter claiming against Agricultural for bad faith. If the Company's position is not sustained by the courts, the amounts deferred would have to be expensed in a future period. On November 24, 1993, a purported shareholder class action, titled Steiner v. Optical Radiation Corporation, et al., was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The complaint alleged that the Company failed to disclose that FDA inspections had uncovered deficiencies in the Company's manufacturing processes and that such non-disclosure was in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified damages for persons who purchased the Company's Common Stock during a stated period. On February 3, 1994, the court approved a stipulation for dismissal of this action, which admitted no liability of the Company or its officers and did not require any payment by them. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Precision Optics, Inc., (Precision) received a letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), dated February 7, 1994, designating Precision as a responsible party (RP) for the Saint Augusta Sanitary Landfill/Engen Dump. Precision has the right to challenge this designation and intends to do so. Precision had previously been designated as a responsible party for this site but that designation was rescinded based upon information furnished to MPCA. The previous designation had to do with grinding oil for optical fabrication. The current designation has to do with glass shavings from optical fabrication. Based upon discussion with officials at MPCA and other long-term RP's, the Company recorded a de minimis loss contingency reserve in the current quarter to provide for any exposure relating to this matter. Item 5. Other Events On November 23, 1993, Optical Radiation Corporation (Company) was served with a Complaint for Forfeiture filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California, titled United States of America v. 5,082 boxes, more or less, of intraocular lenses. This civil action was brought by United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), alleging that the Company did not conform to four specific requirements of "Good Manufacturing Practices" ("GMP") guidelines. These alleged GMP compliance issues were noted by the FDA during routine inspections in April and August, 1993 at the Company's facility in Cidra, Puerto Rico. Following service of the complaint, the FDA impounded, at the Company's Azusa facility, all one-piece intraocular lenses (IOLs) in finished goods and in work-in-process inventories. These impounded IOLs represented approximately one-third of finished IOL inventories and had a carrying value of approximately $2.3 million. The action did not affect one- piece IOLs held in customer consignment inventories nor did it seek to enjoin the Company from manufacturing one-piece IOLs. Additionally, no recall of any product has been requested by the FDA. This action is not based on the clinical performance of the one-piece IOLs; but rather, is predicated on the FDA's interpretation of GMP guidelines. The one-piece IOLs represent approximately 50% of all IOL sales or $10 million on an annualized basis. The Company has filed a claim for the return of the impounded inventory and is attempting to resolve this matter with the FDA. The Company continues to manufacture and sell one-piece IOL's since the impoundment action by the FDA. However, the Company does not know what future actions, if any, the FDA might take with regards to this matter. Additionally, the Company does not know if it will be successful in resolving this issue, or what timeframe will be involved to bring this matter to conclusion. It is possible that subsequent events could cause the Company to record a loss contingency reserve in a future reporting period. This loss contingency reserve could encompass all or a portion of the impounded inventory and additional items based upon future events. On February 17, 1994, the Company announced that it had engaged Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation (DLJ), a New York investment banking firm, to advise the Board of Directors on alternative directions for the Company that would enhance shareholder value. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits None (b) One report on Form 8-K dated December 2, 1993 was filed during the quarter. This filing describes the impoundment by the United States Food and Drug Administration of the Company's one-piece intraocular lens finished goods inventory. It also describes a shareholder class action lawsuit filed against the Company.
