GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS The Company recorded a gain of $39,000 on the disposal of fixed assets for the first six months of 1998 compared to $34,000 for the first six months of 1997. INCOME TAXES For the first six months of 1998 the Company had an effective tax credit rate of 43.0% due to the effects of state income taxes. For the first six months of 1997 the Company had an effective tax credit rate of 32.5%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided/(used) from operations was $(395,000) for the first six months of 1998 compared to 1,453,000 for the first six months of 1997. Inventories increased $440,000 due mainly to Lucent ($163,000) and the additional investment in the Bonding Process ($204,000). Depreciation and amortization was down $297,000 due to the write-down of the P C Dynamics assets in December 1997. Accrued expenses were down $374,000 due mainly to payments made for Property taxes and Litigation settlements. The Company collected Income tax refunds of $1,886,000 that offset losses of ($343,000) for the first six months of 1997.

Capital expenditures were $282,000 in the first six months of 1997, $105,000 to upgrade the network system at the Bensenville facility. The Company has a mortgage loan of $2,424,000 for the facility at P C Dynamics Corporation in Frisco, Texas. Interest on this mortgage loan is at 1/2% over the prime rate. The loan is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and is due in October 2001. The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit available based on 80% of the eligible accounts receivable to fund the working capital needs of the Company. The agreement expires May 31, 1999 and is renewable annually at the mutual consent of the Company and the lender. No balance was outstanding under the line at June 30, 1998. 13 14 As of June 30, 1998, the company has $2,424,000 of debt and $3,024,000 of cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that funds generated from operations, coupled with the Company's cash and investment balances and its capacity for debt will be sufficient to fund current business operations. INFLATION Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operation or on its financial position. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS All of the Company's foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced and paid in United States dollars. ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS As a supplier to microwave manufacturers, the Company is dependent upon the success of its customers in developing and successfully marketing end-user microwave systems. The Company is currently working on several development programs for its customers. The development of commercial applications for microwave systems and the timing and size of production schedules for these programs is uncertain and beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that these development programs will have a favorable impact on the Company's operating results. Although management believes some of these products and programs may ultimately develop into successful commercial applications, such developments could result in periodic fluctuations in the Company's operating results. As a result of these considerations, the Company has historically found it difficult to project operating results. The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to account for a substantial majority of its sales and that the relative dollar amount and mix of products sold to any of these customers can change significantly from year to year. There can be no assurance that the Company's major customers will continue to purchase products from the Company at current levels, or that the mix of products purchased will be in the same ratio. The loss of one or more of the Company's major customers or a change in the mix of product sales could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, future results may be impacted by a number of other factors, including the Company's dependence on suppliers and subcontractors for components; the Company's ability to respond to technical advances; successful award of contracts under bid; design and production delays; cancellation or reduction of contract orders; the Company's effective utilization of existing and new manufacturing resources; and pricing pressures by key customers. 14 15 The Company's future success is highly dependent upon its ability to manufacture products that incorporate new technology and are priced competitively. The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapid technology advances and industry-wide competition. This competitive environment has resulted in downward pressure on gross margins. In addition, the Company's business has evolved towards the production of relatively smaller quantities of more complex products, the Company expects that it will at times encounter difficulty in maintaining its past yield standards. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop technologically advanced products or that future pricing actions by the Company and its competitors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. 15 16 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None ITEM 6: EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits 10.11 Michael Bayles Consulting Agreement 27 Financial Data (b) The Company filed a report on Form 8-K dated May 1, 1998 announcing Michael Bayles will be stepping down as President and Chief Operating Officer, but will remain on as a Consultant to the Management Team.
