AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS General: The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements are not included herein. The Company believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily an indication of the results for the full fiscal year. 1. Significant accounting policies: Principles of consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Scientific Packaging Industries, Inc., a New York corporation and an inactive wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. Inventories: Inventories for interim financial statement purposes are based on perpetual inventory records at the end of the applicable period. Components of inventory are as follows: September 30, 2003 ------------------ Raw Materials $ 461,300 Work in process 8,000 Finished Goods 83,800 ------------ $ 553,100 ============ 3. Net income per Common Share: Basic net income per Common Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per Common Share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and a warrant. Net income per Common Share was computed as follows: For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2003 September 30, 2002 ------------------ ------------------ Net income $ 30,000 $ 6,600 ========= ======== Weighted average common shares outstanding 960,541 950,639 Effect of dilutive securities 28,959 49,199 --------- -------- Weighted average dilutive common shares outstanding 989,500 999,838 ========= ======== Net income per common share - basic $ .03 $ .01 ========= ======== Net income per common share - diluted $ .03 $ .01 ========= ======== Unexercised employee stock options to purchase 56,000 and 59,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.875 to $2.40 per share were outstanding as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the foregoing computation because the exercise price of each option was greater than the average market price of the Company's Common Stock for the related periods. 4. Comprehensive Income: There was no significant difference between net income and comprehensive income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans As of September 30, 2003, the Company maintains an Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation costs are reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation: For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2003 September 30, 2002 Net income: As reported $ 30,000 $ 6,600 Pro Forma 29,700 6,600 Net income per common and common equivalent share: Basic - as reported $ .03 $ .01 Basic - pro forma $ .03 $ .01 Diluted - as reported $ .03 $ .01 Diluted - pro forma $ .03 $ .01 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Certain statements contained in this report are not based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are based upon various assumptions about future conditions. Actual events in the future could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking information. Numerous unknown factors and future events could cause such differences, including but not limited to, product demand, market acceptance, impact of competition, the ability to reach final agreements, adverse economic conditions, and other factors affecting the Company's business that are beyond the Company's control. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments increased from $803,000 at the end of fiscal year 2003 to $907,700 at September 30, 2003, principally as a result of cash provided from operations. The Company's working capital as of September 30, 2003 increased $31,300 to $1,706,300 compared to $1,675,000 at June 30, 2003. The Company had available for its working capital needs, a secured bank line of credit of $200,000 with North Fork Bank and carried interest at prime plus 1%, all of which was available as of September 30, 2003. The line was renewed on November 1, 2003 through November 1, 2004 and carries an interest rate of prime. Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its cash flow needs during the 12 months ending September 30, 2004 from its available financial resources which include its cash and investment securities. Results of Operations Financial Overview Sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 benefitted from new product sales - especially the Disruptor Genie (trademark) Vortex-Genie (registered trademark)1, and Vortex-Genie 2T. New product sales were $134,800 compared to $97,500 for the comparable period last year. In addition, sales of the Company's principal product, the Vortex-Genie 2 mixer, were only minimally lower than the prior year's comparable quarter and significantly higher than sales for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003. The Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared with the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002. The Company's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased $23,600 (2.8%) from $850,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $873,900, the result of increased sales of the Company's new products partially offset by only a 1% decline in net sales of the Vortex-Genie 2 mixer. The gross profit of $409,000 as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased to 46.8% from 40.9% or $347,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as a result of lower overhead and reduction in the costs of certain material components which are now purchased from overseas. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased by $60,600 (27.0%) to $164,100 compared to $224,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The prior year period included costs incurred in connection with the termination of employment in August 2002 of the then Chief Executive Officer including his salary, certain benefits, and legal costs related to the termination. Selling expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased $68,100 (214%) to $99,900, as compared to $31,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, as a result of the Company's expansion of its sales and marketing functions including the hiring of a new director of sales and marketing in January 2003, and advertising and other marketing expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $15,200 (17.4%) to $102,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from $87,400 for the comparable prior year period as a result of increased new product development. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's income before income taxes increased $37,000 (463%) to $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Income taxes of $15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $13,600 from $1,400 for the comparable period last year as a result of higher income for the period.
