Item 1.   Description of Business.

 

History

 

Dynatem, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dynatem”) was incorporated on May 15, 1981, under the laws of the State of California. It was organized to design, manufacture and market microcomputers and microcomputer-based systems and software for industrial applications such as factory automation, sensor monitoring, process control, robots, data acquisition, networking and displays. The Company commenced manufacturing and marketing operations in May 1981 and has conducted such operations continuously from such date. As part of such operations, the Company was, until October 1984, an authorized dealer of certain modular board level computer products manufactured by Rockwell International Corporation. In October 1984, the Company entered into an agreement with Rockwell pursuant to which the Company was licensed to manufacture these products.

 

The Company currently designs, manufactures, distributes and markets more than 250 products or product variations including microcomputers, microcomputer systems, microcomputer modules, software and peripherals, and markets such products and other licensed products individually or as components of a system.

 

In 1987, the Company began concentrating its design efforts to develop a range of products compatible with the VMEbus (see below). In order to further expand the product offering, Dynatem entered into agreements to resell the VMEbus products of other vendors that were complimentary to the Company’s products. This allowed the Company to easily integrate complete embedded systems. In 1996, the Company began concentrating most of its design effort in the development of VMEbus systems based on the x86 family of processors. The Company was able to combine the broad range of relatively inexpensive components and software found in desktop PC- compatible systems with the high performance, flexibility and stability of the VMEbus. To accompany the new x86 hardware, it has been equally important for the Company to develop software drivers that could enable popular desktop operating systems to operate across the VMEbus. In fact, the ability to run Windows NT in VMEbus systems has been one of the major appeals of this product. In this way, embedded system designers can combine user-friendly Windows NT or Windows XP, with their huge range of software applications, on the same backplane with dedicated high-speed real-time operating systems. More recently, the interest in Linux systems has also added to the market appeal of these products.

 

One area of design effort continues to be the integration of expansion cards compatible with the PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) standard. This enables adding functionality to VMEbus x86 processor boards by expansion via the local PCI bus.

Table of Contents

Another area of design activity has been based upon the CompactPCI Bus. These products have a similar form factor to the VMEbus but use the PCI bus as the basis for the interface between modules. This is a simpler and less expensive design than the VMEbus-based products, and from a design and support point of view is a subset of the Pentium-based VMEbus products. The CompactPCI Bus’ popularity is based upon its simplicity, high bandwidth and reliability and relatively low cost. Its simplicity and low cost are due to its reliance on architectures and components found in the desktop world. Recent changes to the CompactPCI specification incorporate switched Ethernet backplane support. This specification is the beginning of the evolution of backplane technology toward high-speed serial interfaces.

 

Market

 

The Company markets its products on a worldwide basis and its customers include many Fortune 100 corporations. Included among the export markets are the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Mexico.

 

For the last two fiscal years the export net sales and the percentage to total net sales were:

 

Year

% of Total Net Sales


2003

  $190,740   5%

2002

Products

 

The Company’s products generally consist of modular single board microcomputers known as Central Processing Unit (CPU) boards, peripheral systems and software. The products are intended for use by manufacturing companies seeking to increase efficiency and productivity through factory automation, sensor monitoring, process control and other electronic implementations. The military services use Dynatem products for a number of applications including navigation, control of systems and rapid handling of data. The Company provides warranties ranging from 90 days to one year on all products sold.

 

VME. The Company’s principal product group is based on the VMEbus specification. These products are used as embedded controllers for telecommunications, industrial controls, robotics, aerospace, and a wide variety of military applications.

 

In 1996, the Company established a distributor relationship with a German VMEbus manufacturer, Microsys Electronics GmbH (“Microsys”). The products manufactured by Microsys are consistently compatible with the Company’s product line because, like the Company’s VMEbus products, the Microsys products are relatively low in power consumption and well suited to extended temperature range systems.

Table of Contents

The addition of the Microsys line to the Dynatem line has had the effect of augmenting the Dynatem range of products. It has also increased the range of hardware to meet virtually every customer’s system requirements in connection with the products designed and manufactured by the Company. This is extremely important because customers prefer buying all of the modules in their system from one vendor who takes responsibility for guaranteeing that all modules function well together.

 

New offerings from Microsys include VMEbus and CompactPCI designs based upon Motorola’s Power PC family of processors.

 

Among new products offered, the Company has recently introduced both VME and CompactPCI processor boards based upon the Low Voltage Xeon processor from Intel. The embedded PC is excellent for situations where Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) need full PC functionality with the complexity of the VMEbus or even the CompactPCI bus.

 

With the recent increase in design engineering capability, the Company is also able to offer custom design capabilities based upon the standard product offering.

 

Software. The Company offers to its customers software drivers that it has developed, and software which the Company purchases from other suppliers. The Company believes that there are alternative sources of supply for such software. Since all of the modules offered are part of highly integrated real-time systems, it is essential that all boards work well together. For this reason, the Company is required to provide drivers for all the board level products, enabling them to run any of the standard real-time operating systems. The Company therefore distributes, sells and supports real-time operating systems that have been modified to work with the Dynatem products. This is a value-added service, which ties the Company more closely to its customer base.

 

Operations

 

The Company’s products are manufactured either at the Company’s facility in Mission Viejo, California, or by outside assembly contractors. They are produced from the Company’s designs using standard, semi-custom and custom components such as multi-layer circuit boards.

 

Most of the devices and components used in the Company’s products are available from several sources. Although no assurance can be given as to the future, the Company believes that the loss of one or more of its current suppliers would not have a material adverse effect upon its business.

 

Marketing

 

The Company’s marketing and sales department consists of marketing, sales, customer service, engineering and engineering application support. The Company has in recent years continued the use of advertising in major trade publications, coupling it with wide distribution of marketing brochures. In addition, the Company participates in regional trade shows during the year throughout the United States and Canada.

Table of Contents

There are over 200 VMEbus and CompactPCI vendors worldwide. Depending on the application, at least one or more of these companies are in direct competition with Dynatem. Details of unique characteristics of the Company’s offerings are more fully described in “Products” above.

 

Marketing of the Company’s products is accomplished through direct marketing and telemarketing efforts. Direct marketing efforts include responding to inquiries generated through press releases, trade publications, advertising, current customer lists and other similar leads. Telemarketing is utilized to inform current and potential customers of new products and technical product changes, as well as allow the Company to evaluate the market and customer needs. Implementation of a World Wide Web site (www.dynatem.com) has been accomplished over the past few years. It has become an effective means of attracting new customers throughout the world. It has also become an excellent product and technical reference for existing and potential customers.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company believes that its future growth greatly depends on its ability to be an innovator in the development and application of new and existing hardware and software technology. Expenditures for Company-sponsored research and development for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002 were $480,452 and $308,775, respectively. Increases in R&D expenditures reflect the increased emphasis on new product development and additional engineering staff.

 

In the fiscal year, two important new VME processor modules have been introduced. The first, the DHC, is a very high performance VMEbus X86 family processor board, using Intel’s high-performance Xeon processor. Getting the Xeon in a VMEbus system is key for customers who require hyperthreading processing. With this capability, the DHC is virtually a dual processor Single Board Computer (SBC). The Company has already designed and debugged companion modules for the DHC to support additional I/O behind the backplane and I/O expansion via a PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) carrier. To take advantage of the DHC module’s high performance the Company is introducing a line of PMCX (PMC card with higher bandwidth) modules that will be new enhancements of the existing embedded computing technology. These modules will support Dual Gigabit Ethernet, serial ATA, and Ultra 320 SCSI.

 

The DHC will soon be available in a CompactPCI version that will operate as a System Controller or an embedded slot module. This SBC, the CHC, will also support PICMG 2.16 packet switching operation that is expected to be a growth area in the board level product market.

 

The second processor module is a Pentium III based VMEbus SBC targeted to the OEM who needs the most configuration flexibility at the lowest price. This module, the DMC, brings a high level of flexibility to the VMEbus with two PMC sites that will let the customer tailor their I/O functionality to their application. In addition to standard PC features, the DMC also supports two Fast Ethernet ports, USB, infrared, a sound card, and a game port.

 

On the software front the Company has developed BIOS firmware for the new SBC’s.

 

Integration and support efforts continue resulting in several important design-ins based on a combination of Dynatem and/or Microsys CPU cards, PMC support cards, third-party software and the Company’s software.

Employees

 

At present the Company employs 19 people in sales, engineering, financial and manufacturing departments. Neither the Company nor its employees are parties to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its employee relations are very good.

 

Competition

 

Competition within the industry is based primarily upon product line breadth, product performance, price and customer service. The Company competes with over 200 manufacturers of VMEbus and CompactPCI products in North America and Europe. The Company believes it has a marketing advantage based upon its ability to offer a “one-stop-shop” approach, which provides full system integration not always provided by the Company’s competitors. As part of this approach, the Company provides high quality products, competitive pricing, and technical support, which includes, when needed, customization, special products and/or writing of special software programs. In addition, the Company provides customers with most products required for specific applications including, but not limited to, special power supplies, special enclosures, cables and other requisite hardware. This approach is not customary with larger competitors who would normally limit themselves to sales of standard products. However, most of these manufacturers have certain other competitive advantages over the Company, including greater financial and technological resources, earlier access to customers, established client service programs and client loyalty.

 

Item 2.   Description of Property.

 

The Company’s executive offices and manufacturing plant are located in a 6,357 square foot facility in Mission Viejo, California. The facility is leased from an unaffiliated party for a term expiring in January 2006. In addition, on April 1, 2003, the Company opened a new engineering design office in a 1,430 square foot facility in Escondido, California. The facility is leased from an unaffiliated party for a term expiring March 31, 2005.

Results of Operations

 

Net sales for the Company’s fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 increased 28.6% to $3,749,801 as compared to net sales of $2,915,797 in fiscal year 2002. The increase in total net sales is attributed to the continued growth of sales of Dynatem designed single-board computer products. Export sales amounted to $190,740, representing 5.1 % of the total net sales for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales ended May 31, 2003 was 46%, the same as in the prior fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $855,191 for fiscal year 2003 compared to $848,823 for fiscal year 2002, a slight increased of 0.75%. With the economic slow down, the Company did not attempt to increase expenses and kept it’s profile of the already existing salaries, wages and benefits to assist in retaining personnel.

 

Research and development costs were $480,452 in fiscal year 2003 compared to $308,775 in fiscal year 2002, a 55.6% increase. The increase is attributable to development of new single-board computer products utilizing advanced microprocessor technology, based on recommendations from our customers. These units include the DMC and DHC product lines and are planned for introduction for fiscal 2004. The Company added engineering capability in order to optimize the scheduling and completion of its new products, to design integrated computer solutions for its customers and to design more cost competitive product alternatives.

 

At May 31, 2003, the Company does not expect to pay significant income taxes due to its utilization of net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits, which will expire on various dates through the year 2019.

 

Net income in fiscal years 2003 and 2002 was $403,854 and $207,482, respectively. The increase in net income was primarily due to the continued growth of sales of Dynatem-designed single-board computer products that contribute to higher margins.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of May 31, 2003, the Company’s working capital was $1,905,167 and its current ratio was 4.89 to 1. Management believes that the Company’s existing working capital and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs during fiscal year 2004. The Company has arranged for a line of credit of $500,000 with its bank and may consider other sources of capital should the need arise.

Table of Contents

Future Trends

 

The Company continues to launch new products of its own design and expects significant growth in sales of Microsys products over the next year.

 

The Company’s PC-compatible VMEbus module has been designed into several fairly large, long-term programs, and it is being well received by the VMEbus market. New product introductions this year are expected to enable the Company to win a larger percentage of new programs. CompactPCI versions of these products should enable the Company to become a larger player in the CompactPCI market. The Company has put great effort into being first to the market with error-free versions of several popular real-time operating systems. As the PC-compatible market changes, the Company will, in a timely manner, attempt to achieve market leadership by offering new products based upon the latest PC-compatible technology.

 

The Company will continue to take advantage of local contract manufacturing facilities utilizing the most modern techniques of SMT (Surface Mount Technology) and BGA (Ball Grid Array).

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Dynatem, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California in May 1981. The Company designs, manufactures, distributes and markets modular single board microcomputers and microcomputer-based systems and software. These systems are used for industrial applications, including factory automation, process control, robotics, data acquisition and networking.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risks

 

Cash and cash equivalent balances are maintained at various financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures accounts at each institution for up to $100,000. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the FDIC limit. At May 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $675,000 in excess of this limit.

 

The Company sells products to customers throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and does not obtain collateral with which to secure its accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses based upon the Company’s historical experience related to credit losses which management believes are sufficient. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts.

 

During fiscal 2003, the Company had sales to two customers, which represented 37% of net sales. During fiscal 2002, the Company had sales to two customers, which represented 48% of net sales. At May 31, 2003, two customers accounted for 66% of accounts receivable. If the relationship between the Company and these customers was altered, the future results of operations and financial condition could be significantly affected. Additionally, during fiscal 2003 and 2002, export sales represented 5% and 9% of net sales, respectively.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense competition, government regulation and rapid technological change. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with a technology business including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, provisions for losses on accounts receivable, provisions for slow moving and obsolete inventories and estimates for current and deferred taxes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments (Certificates of Deposits) with original maturities of 90 days or less. At May 31, 2003, cash equivalent balances totaled approximately $317,000.

Table of Contents

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined under the average cost method. The Company operates in an industry in which its products are subject to design changes and are manufactured based on customer specifications. Accordingly, should design requirements change significantly or customer orders be canceled or decline, the ultimate net realizable value of such products could be less than the carrying value of such amounts. At May 31, 2003, management believes that inventories are carried at their net realizable value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the cost basis of a long-lived asset is greater than the projected future undiscounted net cash flows from such asset (excluding interest), an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the difference between the cost basis of an asset and its estimated fair value. SFAS 144 also requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting requirement to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated fair value less costs to sell. The Company adopted SFAS 144 during the year ended May 31, 2003. The provisions of this pronouncement relating to assets held for sale or other disposal generally are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date to newly initiated commitments to plan to sell or dispose of such asset, as defined, by management. As a result, management cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of SFAS 144 will have on the Company’s financial statements with respect to future disposal decisions, if any.

 

Management believes that no impairment loss is necessary on long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions or demand for the Company’s products or services will not change which could result in long-lived assets impairment charges in the future.

 

Warranties

 

The Company provides warranties ranging from ninety days to one year on all products sold. Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain product and services are provided by charges to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company has a warranty reserve of approximately $17,500 at May 31, 2003.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents monies received in advance from customers for certain products. The Company will recognize the revenue upon shipment of the products.

 

16


Table of Contents

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time the product is shipped.

 

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 (“SAB 101”), “Revenue Recognition,” which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policy conforms to SAB 101.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The advertising costs incurred for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002 totaled approximately $20,000 and $55,000 respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be recovered.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company obtains certain products from offshore facilities in Germany. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in cost of sales in the period in which the exchange rate changes or the underlying transaction settles. During fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company had no foreign currency gains.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee stock options in accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations and makes the necessary pro forma disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 123 (“SFAS 123”) “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation.”

 

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 44, (“FIN 44”), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25”. This Interpretation clarifies (a) the definition of employee for purposes of applying APB 25, (b) the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan, (c) the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 became effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998, or January 12, 2000. Management believes that the Company accounts for its employee stock based compensation in accordance with FIN 44.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Cont.)

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income and earnings per share and the entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Certain of the disclosure requirements are required for all companies, regardless of whether the fair value method or intrinsic value method is used to account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements. The Company continues to account for its employee incentive stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of this statement during the year ended May 31, 2003.

 

At May 31, 2003, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans (the “Plans”) (see Note 5). The Company accounts for the Plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25 and related Interpretations. There was no stock-based employee compensation cost reflected in net income for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share

 

The Company has adopted SFAS 128 “Earnings Per Share”, which changes the methodology of calculating earnings per common share.

 

Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued (using the treasury stock method total additional dilutive shares totaled 210,410 and 274,919 as of May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively) (see Note 8).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The FASB issued SFAS No. 107 (“SFAS 107”), “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Company’s cash, receivables, trade payables and accrued expenses approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.

 

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. SFAS 131 changes the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment information in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders. It also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers. Segment reporting is not required as the Company currently operates in one segment as discussed under Organization and Nature of Operations.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company has entered into non-cancelable operating lease agreements for its corporate and manufacturing facilities. In addition to monthly lease payments for the facilities, the Company is required to pay utilities and

 

22

certain insurance and maintenance costs. The leases provide for annual rental increases and a renewal options based on certain terms and conditions. The leases expire through fiscal 2006.

 

Future annual minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows for the years ending May 31:

 

2004

   $ 95,000

2005

     96,000

2006

     49,000

   $ 240,000
    

 

During fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company incurred approximately $93,000 and $87,000, respectively, related to these leases, of which approximately $48,000 and $44,000 has been classified as a component of cost of sales in the accompanying statements of income.

 

Royalty and Licensing Agreements

 

The Company is a party to a royalty agreement that requires it to pay royalties of 25% of sales of a select hardware product and 50% of sales of a select software product, as defined. The Company is also a party to another royalty agreement that requires it to pay royalties of 50% of the gross profit earned by the Company on sales of certain hardware products, as defined.

 

During 1997, the Company entered into two software licensing agreements. The licensed software will be used with various products that the Company manufactures and distributes. One of the agreements provides for a one-time licensing fee and the other agreement provides for a fixed fee on each unit of software sold.

 

During fiscal 2003 and 2002, total royalty and licensing expense for the royalty and licensing agreements mentioned herein approximated $4,000 and $16,000, respectively.
