See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. AURA SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1) Management Opinion The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aura Systems, Inc. ("the Company" or "Aura") and subsidiaries from the dates of acquisition. All material inter-company balances and inter-company transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and reclassifications for comparability necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the three months ended May 31, 1999. 2) Capital In the quarter ended May 31, 1999, warrants to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock of the Company were exercised. 3) Significant Customers Sales of communication and multimedia products by NewCom to four major mass merchandisers accounted for approximately $17.7 million, or 54.5% of revenues in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998. Sales of speakers to a major electronics retailer accounted for approximately $2.7 million, or 8.3% of net revenues in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998. These sales were generated by the Company's subsidiaries NewCom and MYS, which are not included in the current years financial statements. None of the above customers are related or affiliated with the Company or any other customers of the Company. 4) Contingencies The Company is engaged in various legal actions. See the Company's Form 10-K, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings for the year ended February 28, 1999 as filed with the SEC (file number 0-17249) for a discussion of the legal activities. In the case of a judgment or settlement, appropriate provisions have been made in the financial statements. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Report may contain forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in such statements. Certain factors could also cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements, including factors discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended February 28, 1999, and factors discussed in this Report. Results of Operations For the three months ended May 31, 1999, the Company lost $5,486,880 on net revenues of $2,580,693 compared to a loss of $1,924,561 on net revenue of $32,452,538 in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to the cessation of operations by the Company's previously majority owned subsidiary, Newcom, and the sale of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, MYS. Approximately 86% of the sales in the comparable prior fiscal year quarter were attributable to these two subsidiaries. Sales of communication and multimedia products by NewCom to four major mass merchandisers accounted for approximately $17.7 million, or 54.5% of revenues in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998. There were no such sales in the comparable current year quarter. Sales of speakers to a major electronics retailer by MYS Corporation accounted for approximately $2.7 million, or 8.3% of net revenues in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998, with no such comparable sales in the current year quarter. Neither of the above two subsidiaries are included in the current year financial statements. None of the above customers are related or affiliated with the Company or any other customers of the Company. Cost of goods and overhead decreased from $24.4 million in the quarter ended May 31, 1998 to $4.6 million in the quarter ended May 31, 1999, due primarily to the disposition of the Company's NewCom and MYS subsidiaries, and the resultant decrease in product purchased for resale. General and administrative expenses decreased from $7.1 million in the quarter ended May 31, 1998 to $3.3 million in the quarter ended May 31, 1999, due primarily to the decrease in personnel and support services resulting from the sale of the Company's wholly owned MYS subsidiary and the cessation of business of the Company's previously majority owned NewCom subsidiary. Research and development expense decreased from $296,346 in the quarter ended May 31, 1998 to $116,127 in the quarter ended May 31, 1999 as the Company focused its reduced resources on the sales and marketing of the Company's product, the Auragen. In the Fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1999, the Company sold its MYS subsidiary and recorded a gain of $877,512. In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of stock in its previously majority owned subsidiary NewCom of approximately $1.4 million. No such sales occurred in the current year fiscal quarter. Net interest expense for the quarter ended May 31, 1999, decreased to $797,822 from $2,681,079 in the prior year quarter. Interest expense in the prior year quarter included a quarterly fee being charged to interest expense on the note that was renegotiated in September 1997. There was no such fee in the current year quarter. Liquidity and Capital Resources In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1999, the Company had no cash as compared to a cash level of $3,822,210 at February 28,1999. Inventories decreased by $2,562,474. Cash flows used in operations increased by $620,861 as compared to the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998. The Company's working capital was a negative $7,774,525 at May 31, 1999 as compared to a negative $4,869,876 at the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999, while the current ratio declined to .74:1 at May 31, 1999 from .88:1 at February 28, 1999. In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1999, the Company received proceeds of $9,300 from the exercise of warrants. The Company also satisfied a liability of $20,000 by the exercise of warrants. In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1998, the Company received proceeds of $8,000,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable. In the past, the Company's cash flow generated from operations has not been sufficient to completely fund its working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company has also relied upon external sources of financing to maintain its liquidity, principally private and bank indebtedness and equity financing. The Company is presently seeking additional sources of financing, including bank and equity financing. No assurances can be provided that these funding sources will be available at the times and in the amounts required. For additional information regarding the Company's financial condition, see the Company's Form 10-K, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward Looking Statements The Company wishes to caution readers that important factors, in some cases, have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's actual results and could cause the Company's actual consolidated results for the second quarter of Fiscal 2000, and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of the Company. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following risks and contingencies: Changed business conditions in the consumer electronic and automotive industries and the overall economy; increased marketing and manufacturing competition and accompanying prices pressures; contingencies in initiating production at new factories along with their potential underutilization, resulting in production inefficiencies and higher costs and start-up expenses and; inefficiencies, delays and increased depreciation costs in connection with the start of production in new plants and expansions. Relating to the above are potential difficulties or delays in the development, production, testing and marketing of products, including, but not limited to, a failure to ship new products and technologies when anticipated. There might exist a difficulty in obtaining raw materials, supplies, power and natural resources and any other items needed for the production of Company and another products, creating capacity constraints limiting the amounts of orders for certain products and thereby causing effects on the Company's ability to ship its products. Manufacturing economies may fail to develop when planned, products may be defective and/or customers may fail to accept them in the consumer marketplace. In addition to the above, risks and contingencies may exist as to the amount and rate of growth in the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses, and the impact of unusual items resulting from the Company's ongoing evaluation of its business strategies, asset valuations and organizational structures. Furthermore, any financing or other financial incentives by the Company under or related to major infrastructure contracts could result in increased bad debt or other expenses or fluctuation of profit margins from period to period. The focus by some of the Company's businesses on any large system order could entail fluctuating results from quarter to quarter. The effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations, and social and economic conditions, such as trade restrictions impose yet other constraints on any company statements. The cost and other effects of legal and administrative cases and proceedings present impose another factor which may or may not have an impact.
