4 MITEK SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) A. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures that will normally be made in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements do, however, reflect all adjustments (solely of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Results for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be reported for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. B. Inventories Inventories are summarized as follows:
December 31, 1995 September 30, 1995 ----------------- ------------------ Raw materials $ 31,824 $ 36,929 Work in process 32,909 42,970 Finished goods 75,843 52,030 ----------------- ------------------ Total $140,576 $131,929 ================= ==================
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (on the first-in, first-out basis) or market. C. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods which include any dilutive stock options. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET SALES Sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 1996, ended December 31, 1995, - --------- decreased $67,000 or 4.5% compared with the same period of Fiscal 1995. The reduction in sales was the result of the sale of the TEMPEST business segment in March, 1995, offset by the increase in sales of ADR products. In the first quarter of Fiscal 1995, the Companys revenue from TEMPEST products totaled $821,000. Revenue of ADR products increased $753,000, or 70.3% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 1995. The backlog of orders was $1,488,000 at December 31, 1995 compared with a backlog of $2,590,000 at December 31, 1994. The reduction in the backlog is consistent with the sale of the TEMPEST business segment. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold as percentage of sales for the quarter - ------------------ ended December 31, 1995, was 40.5% compared to 54.5% a year earlier. The decrease, as a percent to sales, reflects the sale of the TEMPEST business segment, which carried an unusually high cost of sales. In addition, the sale of the business segment resulted in the reduction of the Companys required overhead, primarily in the areas of facilities and personnel. COSTS AND EXPENSES (Excluding Interest) Operating expenses increased $100,600 - --------------------------------------- or 12.2% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 as compared to the same period one year earlier. The increase was primarily the result of a bad debt recovery of $60,000 in Fiscal 1995 versus an increase of $42,000 in the bad debt reserve in Fiscal 1996. These transactions were (credited) / charged to General and administrative expenses. Operating costs related to research and development and sales and marketing in Fiscal 1996 were essentially equal to the prior year. The company anticipates the overall spending levels to increase in the ensuing quarterly periods due to the costs of developing, introducing and marketing new products. INTEREST Interest costs increased $29,600, or 158.9%, for the quarter ended - -------- December 31, 1995, compared with the same quarter a year earlier, due to increased net borrowings, along with the increase in cost of funds due to the factoring agreement. 5 NET INCOME As a result of the aforementioned sales decreases, gross margin - ---------- increases, increased borrowings and cost of borrowing, the Company had net income of $88,700 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, compared to the prior year net income of $13,600. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1995, stockholders' equity was $1,431,600, an increase of $88,800 from September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital and current ratio was $744,800 and 1.47 at December 31, 1995, compared to $601,800 and 1.41 at September 30, 1995, respectively. At December 31, 1995, total liabilities to equity ratio was 1.11 to 1 compared to 1.13 to 1 at September 30, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, the Company's total liabilities were $62,800 more than September 30, 1995. Components of working capital with significant changes during the quarter ended December 31, 1995 were accounts receivable; accounts payable; amounts payable under factoring agreement; and other accrued liabilities. Compared to September 30, 1995, these components of working capital changed as follows: Accounts receivable - increased $390,700 due to the timing of shipments (late in the Fiscal quarter). Accounts payable - decreased $215,500 due the reduction of royalties payable, and increased borrowings. Other accrued liabilities - increased due to the increases in unearned revenue, warranty reserves, and Federal income taxes payable. The Company has a $650,000 credit facility with a financial institution which expires in March, 1996. The Company anticipates that a new credit facility will be obtained prior to the expiration of its current facility. The Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow from operations and available borrowings under bank lines of credit to meet its operational needs in the coming year.
