(NOTE 4) - Litigation: On September 23, 1993, a class action was commenced by an alleged shareholder of USA Classic (formerly a subsidiary of the Company), against USA Classic and certain directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. (continued) ORBIT INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) The action was commenced on behalf of shareholders, other than the defendants, who acquired their shares from November 20, 1992, the date of the initial offering, through September 22, 1993, and alleges violations of the Securities Act of 1993 in connection with the offering as well as violations of Section 10b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages as well as fees and expenses. On February 1, 1994, a Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed in the class action. The amended Complaint adds the Company as a defendant and alleges that the Company is a "controlling person" of USA Classic and an "aider and abetter" of the alleged violations of the securities laws. The Amended Complaint was answered on March 21, 1994. On October 4, 1994, a Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint was filed in the Class Action. The Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint restated the allegations against the Company and added PaineWebber Incorporated and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., the lead underwriters in the Offering, as additional defendants. On November 15, 1994, the Company and such underwriters moved to dismiss certain of the allegations in the Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint. Such motion was argued on March 17, 1995 and the parties are awaiting the court's decision. While the dismissal motion, if granted, will not dispose of all the claims asserted in the Second Amended and Consolidated Complaint, the Company intends to vigorously defend against any remaining claims. (NOTE 5) - Death of principal officer: On February 24, 1995, the Company's principal officer died. Pursuant to his employment contract, the Company will pay approximately $ 500,000 to the principal officer's estate in monthly installments over the next three years. The Company received insurance proceeds aggregating $ 1,500,000 on keyman policies on the life of the principal officer. Such amounts reflected above have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. (NOTE 6) - Debt: Under the various debt agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to comply with certain covenants which specify minimum cash and cash equivalents to be on its balance sheet at all times, minimum working capital, and tangible net worth requirements and are precluded from declaring and paying dividends without the consent of such lenders. The Company is currently in violation of certain of its covenants and has been granted waivers by its lender for the period ended September 30, 1995. In September, 1995, the Canadian subsidiaries entered into a new factoring arrangement with a subsidiary of the Company's primary lender. The new arrangement provides the Canadian subsidiaries with a C$7,000,000 line of credit and bears interest at a rate of prime plus .75%. As security for its obligations under this facility, the Company has provided the lender with a C$4,000,000 standby letter of credit. ORBIT INTERNATIONAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity, Capital Resources and Inflation: Working capital decreased by $ 9,454,000 to $ 4,634,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 from the year ended December 31, 1994 principally due to approximately $ 3,000,000 of marketable securities which was pledged to secure standby letters of credit issued to the Company's factor to its Canadian Apparel Segment as security for borrowings of the Segment under a new banking arrangement, $ 2,500,000 of its marketable securities pledged as security for the Factoring Agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary, East End Apparel Group Ltd. and its primary lender, and to a net loss of $ 4,518,000 (before write-off of excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired ("goodwill") and other intangible assets) incurred by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital ratio as at September 30, 1995 was 1.1 to 1 compared to 1.6 to 1 at December 31, 1994. In July 1993, East/West entered into a Restated and Amended Factoring Agreement with its primary lender. Advances by the factor prior to the maturity date of receivables sold bear interest at a rate of prime plus 1.50%. As security for its obligations under such amended facility, the Company has pledged approximately $ 5,250,000 of its marketable securities. In September, 1994 East End entered into a Factoring Agreement with the Company's primary lender under the same terms and conditions as East/West. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and as security for its obligations under such facility, the Company has pledged approximately $ 2,500,000 of its marketable securities. In September, 1995, the Company's Canadian Apparel Segment entered into a new factoring arrangement with a subsidiary of the Company's primary lender. The new arrangement provides the Segment with a C$7,000,000 line of credit and bears interest at prime plus .75%. As security for its obligations under this facility, the Company has provided the lender with a C$4,000,000 standby letter of credit. Between November, 1993 and January, 1995 the Company repurchased 750,700 shares of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $3.57 per share. In October, 1994, the Company announced that it planned to purchase up to an additional 300,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated or block transactions. The Company has purchased 166,200 shares under this program. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement between the Company and the sellers of East/West entered into in July 1993, the Company is required to secure the $ 8,000,000 Promissory Note to the sellers with an $ 8,000,000 letter of credit or equivalent at June 30, 1996. The Company is currently in discussions with the sellers to amend the terms and conditions of such promissory note, although there can be no assurance such promissory note will be favorably amended, if at all. Assuming the favorable amendment of such promissory note, the Company's existing capital resources (including its bank credit facilities) and its cash flow from operations are expected to be adequate to cover the Company's cash requirements for the foreseeable future. Inflation has not materially impacted the operations of the Company. Results of Operations: Nine month period ended September 30, 1995 v. September 30, 1994 Consolidated net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 increased to $ 40,831,000 from $ 37,265,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year principally due to an increase in sales from its United States Apparel Segment. Consolidated net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased to $ 17,734,000 from $ 11,760,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year principally due to noncash charges in the current period of $ 13,216,000 reflecting the Company's write-off of goodwill and other intangible costs related to its East/West division and $ 2,000,000 of inventory write-downs taken by its United States Apparel Segment. Management, in its continuing review of operations, wrote off all of the goodwill upon determining that cash flows from future operations of its East/West division would not be sufficient to support any carrying value of goodwill. Two consecutive years of disappointing results during its primary selling season along with significant financial weakness and excess inventories throughout the apparel and retail sector leave management with great uncertainty as to when business conditions will improve. The loss in the prior period reflects the Company's write-off of its 43% equity interest in USA Classic, Inc., subordinated receivable approximating $ 2,400,000 and approximately $ 2,500,000 of related costs. Exclusive of the noncash write-off, the pre-tax loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 increased to $ 2,518,000 from $ 1,207,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due principally to increased operating losses at the Company's United States Apparel Segment. Revenues for the United States Apparel Segment for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased to $ 21,990,000 from $ 15,473,000 from the comparable period of the prior year principally due to revenues recorded by the Company's new East End Apparel Group Ltd. ("Campton Place") subsidiary. Revenues also increased at the Company's East/West division. The operating loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 increased to $ 4,487,000 from $ 1,140,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to a lower gross profit recorded by the Segment due to $ 2,000,000 of inventory write-downs resulting from a significantly weak retail environment. The operating loss was also affected by a loss of $ 181,000 incurred by the Company's new subsidiary RAPP Style International principally due to start up costs. Revenues for the Canadian Apparel Segment for nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to $ 8,815,000 from $ 11,280,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to a higher number of units shipped in the prior period at a lower gross profit. The operating loss for the nine month period decreased to $ 400,000 from $ 850,000 in the prior period due to improved gross margin on sales and reduction in selling, general and administrative costs. The results for the current nine month period include $ 367,000 of one-time restructuring costs consisting of product line and personnel termination charges related to the Segment. Revenues for the Electronics Segment for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to $ 10,026,000 from $ 10,512,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to a decrease in the number of units shipped. Operating income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 decreased to $ 2,304,000 from $ 2,929,000 from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to a decrease in revenue and to a slight decrease in the gross profit on sales. Included in the current period results is a provision of approximately $ 875,000 taken in anticipation of costs to be incurred to repair and/or refurbish certain units that have been already shipped to one of the Segment's customers. Management will continue to monitor these costs in subsequent periods. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to 17.1% from 24.9% for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year due to principally to a lower gross profit realized by the Company's United States Apparel Segment resulting from $ 2,000,000 in inventory write-downs. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased to 31.0% of sales from 29.7% from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $ 12,641,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from $ 11,068,000 from the comparable fiscal year. These increases were due principally to selling, general and administrative costs incurred by the Company's new Campton Place and RAPP Style International subsidiaries and were partially offset by reduced selling, general, and administrative costs at the Company's Canadian Apparel Segment. Investment expense significantly increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $ 2,129,000 from $ 898,000 from the prior comparable period principally due to interest charges associated with the financing of the United States Apparel Segment's higher inventory levels in the current period. Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 significantly increased to $ 3,277,000 from $ 1,473,000 from the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to (i) insurance proceeds received by the Company resulting from the death of the Company's principal officer net of accrued costs due to the officer's estate, (ii) to the reduction in the unrealized loss on marketable securities due to a decrease in interest rates and (iii) increased commission income earned by the Company's U.S. Apparel Segment. The company did not record any tax benefit on the current pre-tax loss because of the uncertainty of future realization. Three month period ended September 30, 1995 v. September 30, 1994 Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 slightly increased to $ 21,355,000 from $ 21,017,000 from the prior period of the comparable year due principally to increased revenues from its United States Apparel Segment and despite reduced revenues from its Canadian Apparel and Electronics Segments. Consolidated net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 was $ 15,288,000 compared to net income of $ 636,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due principally to non cash charges in the current period of $ 13,216,000 reflecting the Company's write-off of goodwill and other intangible costs related to its East/West division and $ 2,000,000 of inventory write-downs taken by its United States Apparel Segment. Revenues for the United States Apparel Segment for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased to $ 14,295,000 from $ 10,287,000 from the comparable period of the prior year principally due to revenues recorded by the Company's new Campton Place subsidiary. Revenues also slightly increased at the Company's East/West division. The operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was $ 1,081,000 compared to operating income of $ 666,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due to $ 2,000,000 of inventory write-downs taken by the Segment. Revenues for the Canadian Apparel Segment for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 decreased to $ 5,209,000 from $ 8,066,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due to a decrease in the number of units shipped. Despite the significant decrease in revenues, operating income only slightly decreased to $ 198,000 from $ 287,000 in the prior year due principally to increased gross profit on sales and to a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. Revenues for the Electronics Segment for the three months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to $ 1,851,000 from $ 2,664,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due to a decrease in the number of units that were shipped in the current period. Operating income decreased for the period to $ 49,000 from $ 652,000 principally due to a decrease in revenues and lower gross profit on sales shipped out during the quarter. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to 11.8% from 21.6% for the comparable period of the prior year due to a lower gross profit realized by the Company's United States Apparel Segment and the Electronics Segment and despite a higher gross profit realized by the Company's Canadian Apparel Segment. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased to 22.7% from 21.0% from the prior period of the comparable year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $ 4,842,000 from $ 4,415,000. These increases were due to higher expenses incurred by the Company's United States Apparel Segment and Electronics Segment and despite lower expenses incurred by the Canadian Apparel Segment as well as lower corporate expenses. Interest expense significantly increased for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $ 843,000 from $ 473,000 from the prior comparable period principally due to interest charges associated with the financing of the United States Apparel Segment's higher inventory levels in the current period. Investment and other income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to $ 1,101,000 from $ 1,147,000 from the comparable period of the prior year due to less commission income earned by the Company's U.S. Apparel Segment. The Company did not record any tax benefit on the current pre-tax loss because of the uncertainty of future realization. Certain Material Trends: Despite continued profitability into 1995, the Company's Electronic Segment continues to face a difficult business environment marked by increasing pressure on the Company's prices for its sole source sales and a general reduction in the level of funding for the defense sector. Based on its planned delivery schedules, the Company expects a reduction in Electronic Segment revenues in 1995 and 1996. The Company's Electronic Segment is continuing to seek new contracts which require up-front design, engineering, prototype and preproduction costs. While the Segment attempts to negotiate contract awards for reimbursement of product development, there is no assurance that sufficient monies will be set aside by the government for such effort. In addition, even if the government agrees to reimburse development costs, there is still a significant risk of cost overrun which may not be reimbursable. Furthermore, once the Company has completed the design and preproduction stage, there is no assurance that funding will be provided for future production. The Electronics Segment is heavily dependent upon military spending as a source of revenues and income. World events have led the government of the United States to reevaluate the level of military spending necessary for national security. Any significant reductions in the level of military spending by the Federal Government could have a negative impact on the Electronics Segment's future revenues and earnings. A majority of the business of both the United States and the Canadian Apparel Segment is associated with the sale of outerwear. The third and fourth quarters are generally the primary selling seasons for outerwear sales. Furthermore, where sale of outerwear constitutes a significant percentage of such segment's business, the first and second quarters are historically weak periods since its customers do not generally request shipment of merchandise during this time. Despite the continued market acceptance of its established lines, a weakened economy in the United States and Canada continues to have an adverse impact on the Apparel Segments' revenues and earnings. The Apparel Segments' large customers include many of the major department stores which may be vulnerable in a weakened economy. Warm weather throughout many regions of the United States created sluggish outerwear sales for retailers in 1994. This sluggishness created oversupply which impacted the buying capabilities and attitudes of buyers in 1995. In addition, the financial problems experienced by many retailers has impacted revenues due to credit concerns of the financial community. These factors have contributed to a very weak and uncertain apparel and retail sector. These present conditions, if they continue, could have a negative impact on the performance of the Apparel Segments in future quarters.
