MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations: Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 ended September 30, 1996 were $672,666, a decrease of 1% from the second quarter of fiscal 1996 ended September 30, 1995. The second quarter revenues of fiscal 1997 are up 25% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997 attributed to additional contract revenues. Revenues for the first two quarters of fiscal 1997 are down five percent as compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 1996. The Company continues to devote personnel toward product development associated with the Aberdeen project. For the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company is reporting a loss of $6,763 as compared to a loss of $63,517 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. For the first two quarters of fiscal 1997, the Company is reporting a loss of $70,280 as compared to a loss of $1,692 for fiscal 1996. Although the Company has an increased loss for the first six months of fiscal 1997 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company has increased its gross profit margin from 22% in fiscal 1996 to 34% in fiscal 1997. The main reason for the increased losses in spite of the increased gross profit margin in 1997, is the significant increase in internal research and development and administrative costs relative to the move toward product manufacturing. Research and development costs have increased from $ 2,467 for the first six months of fiscal 1996 to $226,006 for the first six months of fiscal 1997. The Company plans to continue these IR&D costs attributed to further development of the WDM receiver in the following quarters. Liquidity and Capital Resources: The Company's cash balance at September 30, 1996 is $4,499,123 compared to $2,256,309 at March 31, 1996. The Company's account receivable balance has increased to $824,961 at September 30, 1996 compared to $406,852 at March 31, 1996. The increase in receivables is due to the delay in payment on government contracts, which will all be paid during the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The cash increase during the second quarter can be attributed to the Company completing additional financing with Aberdeen, South Dakota. The Company received an additional $700,000 in equity financing and $75,000 in loans during the second quarter. Following the end of the second quarter the Company began Construction of the Aberdeen facility and plans to complete construction by March 1997. Page 6 of 7 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEMS 1 - 5.
