In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements, and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of, and for the period ended December 31, 2003, together with the auditors' report, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This mortgage note payable has a balloon payment of $5,100,000 due and payable at maturity on December 26, 2006. 6 BTU INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) The Company has a secured revolving line of credit with a US bank that allows for aggregate borrowings, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $14 million against a borrowing base of secured accounts receivable and inventory. The Company may elect to borrow at interest rates pegged to either the bank's base rate or the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time. This loan agreement extends to May 31, 2007 and is subject to maintaining certain financial covenants with which the Company is in compliance at April 4, 2004. No borrowings were outstanding under this agreement at April 4, 2004; at which time the available funds on the borrowing base formula was approximately $9.2 million. (4) Earnings Per Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Options outstanding, which were not included in the determination of diluted EPS for the three months ended April 4, 2004 and March 30, 2003 because they were antidilutive, were 1,140,666 and 1,258,398 respectively. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option and purchase plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized related to the plans. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards under these plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and net loss per share would be the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Three Months Ended ------------------ April 4, March 30, 2004 2003 ---- ---- Net Income (loss): As reported $ (980) $ (1,773) Pro forma (1,078) (1,806) Income per basic share: As reported $ (0.14) $ (0.25) Pro forma (0.15) (0.25) Income per diluted share: As reported $ (0.14) $ (0.25) Pro forma (0.15) (0.25)
(5) Segment Reporting Segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single business segment called thermal processing capital equipment. The thermal processing capital equipment segment consists of the designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing of thermal processing equipment and related process controls for use in the electronics, power generation, automotive and other industries. This business segment includes the supply of solder reflow systems used for surface mount applications in printed circuit board assembly. Thermal processing equipment is used in: low temperature curing/encapsulation; hybrid integrated circuit manufacturing; integrated circuit packaging and sealing; and processing multi-chip modules. In addition, the thermal process equipment is used for sintering nuclear fuel for commercial power generation, as well as brazing and the sintering of ceramics and powdered metals, and the deposition of precise thin film coatings. The business segment's customers are multinational original equipment manufacturers and electronic manufacturing service providers. 7 BTU INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) (6) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" as updated by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Under these guidelines, when the terms of sale include customer acceptance provisions, and compliance with those provisions can not be demonstrated until customer use, revenues are recognized upon acceptance. Furthermore, revenues for products that require installation for which the installation is essential to functionality or is not deemed inconsequential or perfunctory are recognized upon completion of installation. Revenues for products sold where installation is not essential to functionality and is deemed inconsequential or perfunctory are recognized upon shipment with estimated installation and warranty costs accrued. The Company also has certain sales transactions for projects that are not completed within the normal operating cycle of the business. These contracts are accounted for on a percentage completion basis. Under the percentage completion method, revenues are recognized based upon the ratio of costs incurred to the total estimated costs. Revisions in costs and profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts causing the revision become known. Provisions for total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, if any, are made in the period in which such losses are determined. For the three months ended April 4, 2004 there was $572,296 of revenue was recognized using the percentage of completion method. For the three months ended March 30, 2003, there was no revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method. The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs billed to customers in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-10 "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost". Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenues with the associated costs reported as cost of goods sold. (7) Product Warranty Costs The Company provides standard warranty coverage for parts and labor for 12 months and special extended material only coverage on certain other products. The Company sets aside a reserve, charged to cost of sales, based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. The reserve for warranty covers the estimated costs of material, labor and travel. Actual warranty claims incurred are charged against the accrual. Factors that affect the Company's product warranty liability include the number of installed units, the anticipated cost of warranty repairs and historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The following table reflects changes in the Company's accrued warranty account during the first quarter ended April 4, 2004:
2004 ---- (in thousands) Beginning Balance, December 31, 2003 $ 635 Plus accruals related to new sales 165 Less: warranty claims incurred (108) Less: amortization of prior period accruals (57) ----- Ending Balance, April 4, 2004 $ 635 =====
8 BTU INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) (8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addressed accounting for special-purposes and variable interest entities. This interpretation was effective for financial statements issued after December 31, 2002. In September 2003, the FASB issued a Staff Position to allow a deferment of the effective date to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 if certain conditions were met. In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses accounting for special-purpose and variable interest entities and which superseded Interpretation 46. The effective date of this interpretation is the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004, unless the entity is considered to be a special-purpose entity in which case, the effective date is the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003. Companies that have adopted Interpretation No. 46 prior to the effective date of Interpretation No. 46R will either continue to apply Interpretation No. 46 until the effective date of Interpretation No. 46R or apply the provision of Interpretation No. 46R at an earlier date. The Company's adoption of Interpretations No. 46 and No. 46R, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Sales. Net sales increased 65.2% from $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2004. The primary increase represents the expanding demand for our surface mount technology products. In addition, the first quarter sales for 2004 were favorably impacted, by approximately three percent, through a settlement of certain pricing adjustments in previously recorded sales. When comparing the first quarter of 2003 to the first quarter of 2004 the percentage of net sales attributable to our customers in the United States decreased from 43.5% to 19.2%, net sales attributable to our customers in Europe decreased from 19.3% to 19.1%, net sales attributable to our Asia Pacific customers increased from 37.2% to 58.7%, and net sales attributable to our customers in the Other Americas increased from 0.0% to 3.0%. Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 43.0% from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2004, and as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 27.1% to 23.5%. The decrease in the gross profit percentage for the first quarter 2004 was principally the result of a change in product mix that reflected a larger percent of the Company's revenue for the SMT products, where price pressure continues. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 4.0% from $ 2.8 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $ 2.6 million in the first quarter of 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 40.2% in the first quarter 2003 to 23.4% in the first quarter of 2004. The decrease in the percentage of net sales in the first quarter of 2004 was the result of higher revenues. The decrease in costs in sales, service, marketing and administrative expense was primarily due to a reduced workforce. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Research, Development and Engineering. Research, development and engineering increased 11.6% from $822,000 in the first quarter of 2003 to $917,000 in the first quarter of 2004, and as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 12.0% to 8.1% for the same period. In the first quarter of 2004 we continued our support of product development. Operating Loss. Operating loss decreased 47.2% from $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $907,000 in the first quarter of 2004, and as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 25.1% to 8.0%. The decrease in operating loss was primarily the result of increased revenues. Income Taxes. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax asset arising as a result of the Company's net operating loss carryforward due to the uncertainty surrounding realization. Accordingly, no income tax benefit is reflected in the statement of operations at April 4, 2004. Our statutory federal income tax rate is 34.0%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of April 4, 2004, we had $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has a secured revolving line of credit with a US bank that allows for aggregate borrowings, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $14 million against a borrowing base of secured accounts receivable and inventory. The Company may elect to borrow at interest rates pegged to either the bank's base rate or the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time. This loan agreement extends to May 31, 2007 and is subject to maintaining certain financial covenants with which the Company is in compliance at April 4, 2004. No borrowings were outstanding under this agreement at April 4, 2004; at which time the available funds on the borrowing base formula was approximately $9.2 million. We have a mortgage note that is secured by our real property in Billerica, MA. The mortgage note had an outstanding balance at April 4, 2004 of approximately $5.6 million. The mortgage requires monthly payments of $38,269, which includes interest calculated at the rate of 5.42% per annum. A final balloon payment of approximately $5.1 million is due on December 26, 2006 upon maturity of the mortgage note. During the three months ended April 4, 2004, the Company used cash resources of $3.1 million. This use of cash was primarily the result of net losses of $980,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $2.7 million and an increase in inventory of $1.8 million offset by an increase in accounts payable of $2.4 million. We expect that our current cash position and ability to borrow necessary funds will be sufficient to meet our corporate, operating and capital requirements through 2004. Given the expected growth in the Company's markets, beginning in the second quarter of 2004, we expect to be utilizing our line of credit to fund the increases in working capital needs. OTHER MATTERS The impact of inflation and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes during 2004 have had no material impact on our business and financial results. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS See 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on file with the SEC. 10 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Report, other than historical financial information, includes forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including quarterly fluctuations in results.
