1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 1996 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31,
1996 and 1995. The results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. The
Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1995, filed on Form
10-K on October 12, 1995.
2. STOCK OFFERING

filing was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 2, 1994.
3. GAIN ON THE SALE OF SECURITIES

(Continued from page 6)
Both primary and fully diluted shares include the dilutive effect (common stock
equivalents) of outstanding stock options based on the treasury stock method
using average market price for primary and closing market price (unless the
average market price is higher) for fully diluted.
Note (A) Common stock equivalents were not included since their inclusion would
have the effect of decreasing the net loss per share.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
Three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
Total revenues were $4,177,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 ("third quarter 1996"). This represents an increase of $174,000 or 4% over
the $4,003,000 reported for the three months ended March 31, 1995 ("third
quarter 1995"). Sales of batteries increased by 15% during the third quarter
1996 when compared to the same period of the previous year. This increase in
battery revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of
batteries sold during the period. Technology contract revenues decreased by 28%
due to less revenues earned primarily from the China project during third
quarter 1996
Total cost of products sold for the third quarter 1996 decreased to
$2,982,000 from $3,669,000 for the third quarter 1995, a decrease of $688,000 or
19%. This decrease was due to reduced costs associated with technology contract
revenues. In the third quarter 1995, revenues earned from the China project
carried a greater cost than the technology contracts for the third quarter 1996.
In addition, cost of sales for batteries continued to decrease. For the third
quarter 1996, cost of battery sales were 82% of battery revenues as compared to
108% for the third quarter 1995. This reflects continuing manufacturing
efficiencies.
As a result of the increasing sales during the third quarter 1996 and
the decreasing cost of technology and battery sales, gross profit increased to
$1,196,000 from $334,000 for the third quarter 1995. As a ratio to sales, the
gross profit increased to 29% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared
to 8% for the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses increased by $123,000 or 6% to $2,134,000 during the
third quarter 1996 compared to $2,011,000 for the same period of the previous
year. A component of total operating expense is research and development
("R&D"). This increased from $629,000 for the third quarter 1995 by $82,000 or
13% to $711,000 for the third quarter 1996. The focus of the R&D program is on
the commercialization of the Company's rechargeable battery which will be
introduced into the marketplace in the next fiscal year. Automated manufacturing
equipment has been ordered and is scheduled for delivery and installation by the
end of the 1996 calendar year. The other component of operating expenses is
selling and administrative costs. These increased to $1,423,000 for the third
quarter 1996 from $1,383,000 for the same period of the prior year. The primary
reason for the increase is additional selling expenses to promote new and
existing battery products. As new products are brought on-line, it is expected
that selling expenses will continue to increase in dollars, but decrease as a
ratio to sales.
The operating loss for the third period was $938,000, a decrease of
$739,000 or 44% from the $1,678,000 operating loss for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. This was the net result of increased gross margin for the third
quarter 1996 partially offset primarily by additional R&D expenditures.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold 22,300
shares of its investment in Intermagnetics General Corporation (IMG) which
resulted in a profit of $312,000. Interest income for the third quarter 1996
decreased by $83,000 or 14% to $505,000 from $588,000 for the third quarter
1995. This decrease is due to primarily to less being funds available for
investment during the third quarter 1996. The reduction was caused by the use of
funds to support operations and invest in capital assets.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased to
$121,000 from a loss for the same period in the prior year of $1,089,000. This
is the result of decreased operating losses for the third quarter 1996 combined
with the gain on the sale of Intermagnetics General Corporation common stock.
For the third quarter 1996, primary loss per share was $.01. For the same period
of the prior year, primary loss per share was $.14.
Nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
Total revenues were $12,233,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 ("year to date 1996"). This represents an increase of $2,241,000 or 22%
over the $9,993,000 reported for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 ("year to
date 1995"). Sales of batteries increased by 33% during year to date 1996 when
compared to the same period of the previous year. This increase in battery
revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of batteries
sold in the United States during the period.
Cost of products sold for the nine months ended March 31, 1996
decreased by $147,000 or 2% to $8,994,000 from $9,140,000 for the year to date
1995. As a ratio to sales, cost of products sold for batteries was 84% for the
year to date 1996 compared to 100% for the same period of the prior year.
Reduced costs associated with technology contract revenues was the direct result
of the China project revenues being a lesser portion of the total. As a result,
other contracts with lower associated costs replaced the lower margin China
project.
As a result of the increasing sales during year to date 1996 and the
decreasing cost of technology and battery sales, gross profit increased to
$3,239,000 from $852,000 for year to date 1995. As a ratio to sales, the gross
profit increased to 26% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 9%
for the same period of the prior year.
Operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were
$5,781,000, an increase of $1,002,000 or 21% from the $4,779,000 recorded for
the same period of the prior year. Research and development expenses increased
to $2,051,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 1996 from $1,412,000 for
the year to date 1995 in order to support the rechargeable battery program and
continuing efforts to develop other new products. Selling and administrative
costs for year to date 1996 were $3,731,000, an increase of $364,000 or 11% from
the $3,367,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The primary reason for
the increase is additional selling expenses to promote new and existing battery
products.
For the nine months year to date 1996, the increased gross profit was
partially offset by increasing operating expenses so that the loss from
operations decreased to $2,542,000 from $3,927,000 for the same period in the
prior year.
Year to date during fiscal 1996, the Company sold 122,300 shares of its
investment in Intermagnetics General Corporation which resulted in a profit of
$1,930,000. Interest income for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 increased
by $519,000 or 47% to $1,630,000 from $1,112,000 for the same period of fiscal
1995. This increase is due to the investment of funds generated by the Company's
stock offering in December, 1994. During the nine months ended March 31, 1996,
the Company made a provision in the amount of $230,000 for possibly
unreimburseable costs associated with the fire at its UK subsidiary in
September, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------
As of March 31, 1996, cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale
investments totaled $38,113,000. The Company used $4,005,000 of cash from
operations during the first nine months of fiscal 1996. This is the net result
of increased net income for the period and an increase in trade receivables, a
reduction in the increase of inventories offset by payment of payables.
Additionally, the Company expended approximately $6,082,000 of cash to purchase
machinery and equipment as it continues preparation of the commercialization of
the rechargeable lithium-ion solid-polymer battery and upgrades of both the U.S.
and U.K. manufacturing facilities.
The Company does not currently have any long-term debt. Also, it does
not have any current financing arrangements or loan facilities in place or
available to it.
