NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
(Unaudited)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
period have been included. Results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 3, 2002. Certain
reclassifications of August 3, 2002 balances have been made to conform to the
current period presentation.
The Company's fiscal year is based on a 52/53 week cycle ending on the Saturday
nearest to July 31. Results of the Company's Milan, Italy based Villa Sistemi
Medicali S.p.A ("Villa") subsidiary are reported on a one-month lag.
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment, provided there is persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, there are no uncertainties concerning acceptance,
the sales price is fixed, collection of the receivable is probable and only
perfunctory obligations related to the arrangement need to be completed. The
Company's products are covered primarily by one year warranty plans and in some
cases optional extended warranties for up to five years are offered. The Company
establishes allowances for warranties as more fully described in the Product
Warranty footnote herein. The Company recognizes service revenue when repairs or
out of warranty repairs are completed. The Company has an FDA obligation to
continue to provide repair service for certain medical systems for up to seven
years past the warranty period, which are billed to the customers at market
rates.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a
significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
was issued in October 2001. SFAS No. 144 replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.
SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets whose carrying amount is not
recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows be measured at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
operations or in discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued operations
will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for
operating losses that have not yet occurred. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the
reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with
operations that can be distinguised from the rest of the entity and that will
7
DEL GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and are to
be applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a
significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections was issued in April 2002. This
pronouncement rescinded SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt, SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt to Satisfy
Sinking-Fund Requirements, and SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of
Motor Carriers, and changed the accounting treatment for capital lease
modifications by amending SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. This pronouncement
also amends the existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical
corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed
conditions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of
this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,
was issued in June 2002. SFAS No. 146 revises the accounting and reporting for
costs associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when a
liability for such cost is incurred rather than when an entity commits to an
exit plan. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated
after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 does not impact previously recorded
liabilities and, therefore, the initial adoption of this standard did not have a
significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities ("VIE"), an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN 46
requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary
beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient
equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is applicable
immediately for any VIE created after January 31, 2003, and applicable no later
than July 1, 2003 for any VIE created before January 31, 2003. The Company
anticipates that there will be no significant impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this statement.
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, amends SFAS No. 123 to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based awards
to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." The Company's practice in granting these awards to employees is to
set the exercise price of the stock options equal to the market price of our
underlying stock on the date of grant. Therefore under the intrinsic value
method, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment to Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies
accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS
No. 149 is applied prospectively and is effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003, except for SFAS No. 133 implementation issues that
have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 and
certain provisions relating to forward purchases and sales on securities that do
not yet exist. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, that SFAS No.
149 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
During May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity". SFAS 150 clarifies the accounting for certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and requires
that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial
position. Previously, many of those financial instruments were classified as
equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company anticipates that there
will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the
adoption of SFAS 150.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective August 4, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements
for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS 142, all goodwill
amortization ceased effective August 4, 2002.
Recorded goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing the fair value to the
carrying value for reporting units within the Power Conversion Group and for the
Medical Systems Group. Fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow
method as well as a review of valuation parameters for comparable publicly
traded companies. This impairment test is required to be performed at adoption
of SFAS 142 and at least annually thereafter. On an ongoing basis, (absent any
impairment indicators), the Company expects to perform this impairment test
during the fourth quarter. Based on the initial impairment test, it was
determined that none of the goodwill recorded was impaired. Impairment
adjustments recognized after adoption, if any, generally are required to be
recognized as operating expenses.
In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reviewed the useful
lives and the classification of identifiable intangible assets and determined
that they continue to be appropriate. These identifiable assets were acquired in
connection with business combinations prior to July 1, 2001. The components of
our amortizable intangible assets are as follows:

PRODUCT WARRANTIES
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's

Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, and interpretation of FASB Statements No
5, 57 and 107 and Recession of FASB Interpretation No 34." which, among other
things, requires additional product warranty disclosures. The Company's products
are covered primarily by one-year warranty plans and in some cases optional
11
DEL GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
extended contracts may be offered covering products for periods up to five
years, depending upon the product and contractual terms of sale. The Company
establishes allowances for warranties on an aggregate basis for specifically
identified, as well as anticipated, warranty claims based on contractual terms,
product conditions and actual warranty experience by product line. A
reconciliation of the charges in the Company's product warranty liability for
the nine months ended May 3, 2003 is as follows:

DEFERRED INCOME TAX ASSET
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the effects of the
differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of the
assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected at the time the deferred tax
liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. Based on information
and forecasts available as of August 2002, the Company recorded a net deferred
income tax asset of $16,572, with $2,590 classified as a current asset and the
balance of $13,982 as a long-term asset.
Based on an evaluation conducted in March 2003, management concluded that due to
current results being lower than originally anticipated, it was prudent to
establish a valuation allowance of $4,730 against long-term deferred tax assets.
The valuation allowance was computed by estimating the amount of future taxable
income expected over the net operating loss carryforward period, considering
recent performance and other actions the Company has taken to improve
profitability. The valuation allowance recorded is the estimate of the amount of
deferred tax assets that may not be realized.
A corresponding amount of $4,730 was recorded as an income tax provision during
the quarter ended February 1, 2003. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the
Company updated its evaluation and concluded the net deferred tax assets more
likely than not will be recovered from future taxable income. However, no
assurances can be given that the Company's results of operations will generate
profits in the future.
Other than establishing a valuation allowance, we recorded no adjustments to our
current or deferred tax accounts during the first nine months of fiscal 2003,
with the exception of current tax provision amounts recorded at Villa Sistemi,
our foreign subsidiary.
INCOME TAX RECEIVABLE
As of August 3, 2002, the Company had an income tax receivable of $4,000 arising
from the filing of amended U.S tax returns covering fiscal 1997 through 2001.
The Company was able to file a refund claim due to a change in the U.S. tax
law that lengthened the carry-back period for net operating losses from two to
five years. The filing of these amended returns prompted a tax audit by the
Internal Revenue Service. At the conclusion of such tax audit, the Company was
entitled to a tax refund of $4,000 and such receivable was subsequently
collected during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2003.

CONTINGENCIES
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Investigation - On December 11, 2000,
the Division of Enforcement of the SEC issued a formal Order Directing Private
Investigation, designating SEC officers to take testimony and requiring the
production of certain documents, in connection with matters giving rise to the
need to restate the Company's previously issued financial statements. The
Company has provided numerous documents to and continues to cooperate fully with
the SEC staff.
The Company has reached an agreement in principle with the Staff of the SEC to
settle the SEC's claims against the Company. The settlement will include a
penalty of up to $400 and an injunction against future violations of the
antifraud, periodic reporting, books and records and internal accounting control
provisions of the federal securities law. The proposed settlement may be subject
to, amongst other things, a future restatement of historical financial
statements for the Company, or other material adjustments. However, management
is not aware of any restatements or adjustments required with respect to
financial statements filed with the SEC since April 2002. In addition, the
proposed settlement will require approval by the Commission and by the Court. We
can give no assurance that this settlement will be approved by either the
Commission or the Court or that the terms will not be changed.
Although the Company has not reached a binding agreement with the SEC on this
settlement proposal, management believes that this agreement in principle is a
reasonable basis on which it can now estimate the financial impact of this SEC
investigation. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $685 in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002 related to this agreement in principle with the SEC
Staff, which includes associated legal costs. The liability associated with this
charge is included in Litigation settlement reserves on the accompanying balance
sheet for both periods presented as adjusted for any associated legal costs paid
during fiscal 2003.
Department of Defense ("DOD") Investigation - In June 2003, the Company was
advised that the US Government is willing to enter into negotiations regarding a
comprehensive settlement of the ongoing US DOD investigation of its RFI
subsidiary. Management believes that a potential comprehensive settlement will
include the Company's pleading guilty to certain criminal charges, and agreeing
to pay certain fines and restitution to the Government in an amount which could
be material to the Company. Since March 2002, the DOD has been investigating
certain past practices at RFI which date back more than six years and pertain to
RFI's Military Specification testing, record keeping and general operating
procedures.
Prior to the preliminary discussions with the US Government in June 2003, the
Company had no basis to estimate the financial impact of this investigation.
Based on preliminary settlement discussions with the US Government, discussions
with the Company's legal advisors, consideration of settlements reached by other
parties in investigations of this nature, and consideration of the Company's
capital resources, management has now developed an estimate of the low end of
the potential range of the financial impact. Accordingly, during the third
quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a charge of $2,347, which
represents its estimate of the low end of a range of potential fines and legal
and professional fees. The liability associated with this charge is included in
Litigation settlement reserves on the accompanying balance sheet as of May 3,
2003.

(Unaudited)
There can be no assurance that such a potential settlement will be reached and,
even if reached, that the ultimate fine required by any settlement will not vary
significantly from the Company's estimate and expectations.
The Company believes that any settlement could cause the DOD to seek to limit
the ability of the Company to do business with US Government entities. Such
limitations could include seeking a "debarment" or exclusion from doing business
with US Government entities for a period of time. Because management believes
that it has been responsive in addressing the problems that affected RFI in the
past, and RFI is the sole source provider of certain products, the Company is
hopeful that as a result of the potential settlement, its ability to service the
governmental and defense sectors of its business will not be interrupted.
There can be no assurance that such a settlement will be reached and, even if
reached that the ultimate fine and outcome of any settlement will not vary
significantly from the Company's estimate and expectations. In addition, such a
settlement, even on the most favorable terms, may have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial condition, liquidity and operations.
ERISA Matters - During the fiscal year ended July 28, 2001, management of the
Company concluded that violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act, ("ERISA") existed relating to a defined benefit plan for which accrual of
benefits had been frozen as of February 1, 1986. The violations related to
excess concentrations of the Common Stock of the Company in the Plan assets. In
July 2001, management of the Company decided to terminate this Plan, subject to
having available funds to finance the plan in accordance with rules and
regulations relating to terminating pension plans. This plan has not been
terminated yet, but the Company expects to start the process of terminating this
plan in calendar 2003.
Employment Matters - The Company had an employment agreement with its former
Chief Executive Officer through July 2005. The agreement provided a minimum base
salary, deferred compensation and bonuses, as defined. The Company accrued
deferred compensation at a rate of 5% of pretax income with a minimum of $100
and a maximum of $125. In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the employment of
the former CEO was terminated. In February 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit
against the former CEO alleging fraudulent and other wrongful acts, including
securities law violations, fraudulent accounting practices, breaches of
fiduciary duties, insider trading violations and corporate mismanagement. The
complaint sought damages in excess of $15 million. The former CEO answered the
Company's complaint, and counterclaimed for damages based on the termination of
his employment by the Company.
In March of 2003, the Company and the former CEO reached a settlement of these
lawsuits. Under the terms of the settlement and mutual release, the Company's
former CEO paid the Company $400 in cash and transferred to the Company 14,967
shares of Company common stock, valued at approximately $45 as of March 7, 2003.
The Company recognized the effect of this settlement in the third quarter of
Fiscal 2003, offset by legal costs incurred in the third quarter.
Indemnification Legal Expenses - In connection with the Company's previously
reported accounting irregularities and the related shareholder litigation and
governmental enforcement actions, during fiscal 2002, the Company spent
approximately $209 in the advancement of legal expenses for those directors,
17

(Unaudited)
officers and employees that are indemnified by the Company. During the first
nine months of fiscal 2003, the Company has incurred additional expenses of this
nature of approximately $228. Management is unable to estimate at this time the
amount of legal fees that the Company may have to pay in the future related to
these matters. Further, there can be no assurance that those to whom we have
been advancing expenses will have the financial means to repay the Company
pursuant to undertaking agreements that they executed, if it is later determined
that such individuals were not entitled to be indemnified.
Other Legal Matters - The Company is a defendant in several other legal actions
arising from normal course of business. Management believes the Company has
meritorious defenses to such actions and that the outcomes will not be material
to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company's newly elected Board of Directors has reviewed the "change in
control" provisions regarding payments totaling up to approximately $1,800 under
the employment agreement between the Company and its Chief Executive Officer,
Mr.Samuel E. Park. As a result of this review and based upon, among other
things, the advice of special counsel, the Company's Board of Directors has
determined that no obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered. Mr.Park
has orally informed the Company that, after reviewing the matter with his
counsel, he believes that the obligation to pay these amounts has been
triggered. If paid in a lump sum at the time Mr.Park asserts the payments are
due, these payments may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity. In the event Mr.Park seeks to assert a claim for these change in
control payments, it is not possible to predict the outcome of any such claim;
however, the Company's Board of Directors does not believe that such a claim is
reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in the Company's liquidity
in the foreseeable future.
The outcome of the elections at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held on May 29, 2003 represents a change in control under change in control
agreements between the Company and each of four other members of executive
management. However, as each of these agreements contains double-triggers
requiring the termination of the individual, no change in control payments are
currently due to any such individuals.
As described in the Contingencies footnote above, in June 2003 management had
preliminary discussions with the US Government regarding a potential settlement
of the DOD investigation. Prior to these discussions, the Company had no basis
to estimate the financial impact of this investigation. Based on preliminary
settlement discussions with the US Government, discussions with the Company's
legal advisors, consideration of settlements reached by other parties in
investigations of this nature, and consideration of the Company's capital
resources, management has now developed an estimate of the low end of the
potential range of the financial impact. Accordingly, during the third quarter
of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a charge of $2,347, which represents its
estimate of the low end of a range of potential fines and legal and professional
fees. The liability associated with this charge is included in Litigation
settlement reserves on the accompanying balance sheet as of May 3, 2003.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current
expectations and the current economic environment. We caution that these
statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve a number of
risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict including, but not limited
to, our ability to implement our business plan, management changes, changing
industry and competitive conditions, obtaining anticipated operating
efficiencies, securing necessary capital facilities, favorable determinations in
various legal and regulatory matters, including a settlement of the Department
of Defense investigation on terms that we can afford and that does not include a
debarment from doing business with the US Government, and favorable general
economic conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed
or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important assumptions and other
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements are specified in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission including our Form 10-K for the year
ended August 3, 2002.
OVERVIEW
Del Global Technologies Corp. is a leader in developing, manufacturing and
marketing medical imaging equipment and power conversion subsystems and
components worldwide. Our products include stationary and portable medical
diagnostic imaging equipment, high voltage power systems and electronic systems
and components such as electronic filter, transformers and capacitors. We manage
our business in two operating segments; our Medical Systems Group and our Power
Conversion Group. In addition, we have a third reporting segment, Other,
comprised of certain unallocated corporate General and Administrative expenses.
Current management, which joined us after February 2001, has made significant
progress in resolving previous SEC and shareholder matters giving rise to the
need to restate financial statements issued by the previous management as
described in the Contingencies footnote herein. We have reached an agreement in
principle with the SEC to settle its claims against the Company. In May 2003, we
filed an amended Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC covering the
issuance of one million shares underlying the warrants as required by our
previous shareholder settlement.
On May 29, 2003 we held our first annual shareholder meeting since 2000. Our
shareholders elected five directors to our five person Board, including four
nominees proposed by an institutional shareholder group and one incumbent
director. In addition, our shareholders ratified the appointment of our auditors
and voted against an equity incentive plan. (See Part II, Item 4 for full voting
results)
In June 2003, as described in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, we began
preliminary discussions with the US Government regarding a potential
comprehensive settlement of the ongoing US Department of Defense ("DOD")
investigation of our RFI subsidiary. We believe that the potential comprehensive
settlement will include the Company's pleading guilty to certain criminal
charges, and agreeing to pay certain fines and restitution to the Government.
Based on these preliminary discussions with the US Government, discussions with
our legal advisors, consideration of settlements reached by other parties in
investigations of this nature, and consideration of our capital resources, we
recorded a charge of $2.3 million, which represents our estimate of the low end
of a range of potential fines and legal and professional fees.
19
It is possible that the DOD could seek a "debarment" or exclusion of the Company
from doing business with US Government entities for a period of time. Because
management believes that it has been responsive in addressing the problems that
affected RFI in the past, and RFI is the sole source provider of certain
products, we are hopeful that our ability to service the governmental and
defense sectors will not be interrupted as a result of the potential settlement.
There can be no assurance that such a settlement will be reached and, even if
reached that the ultimate fine and outcome of any settlement will not vary
significantly from our estimate and expectations. In addition, such a
settlement, even on the most favorable terms, may have a material adverse impact
on our financial condition, liquidity and operations.
Management believes the resolution of these legal and SEC matters are important
steps towards closure of the past legal, regulatory and financial reporting
matters confronting the Company. We are guardedly optimistic we can resolve the
settlement negotiations with the DOD on terms that will be mutually acceptable
to both parties and allow us to continue to provide our technology to the
defense industry.
Our businesses continue to compete vigorously and we continue to enjoy good
relationships with our customers. We finished the consolidation of the
Hicksville facility into Valhalla during the third quarter of fiscal 2003. This
completes a strategic initiative to reduce overhead by consolidating seven
businesses and facilities into four, strengthen engineering and manufacturing
methods and target our selling activity. Despite the reduction in facilities and
general economic uncertainty, our sales have increased during fiscal 2003 as
compared to fiscal 2002. Based on market studies, we believe the total relevant
market size for the Medical Systems Group is approximately $2.8 billion and for
the Power Conversion Group is approximately $700 million. We continue to focus
on high growth segments of these markets where our strong market share and
barriers to entry present significant opportunities for profitable growth.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Complete descriptions of significant accounting policies are outlined in Note 1
of our Form 10-K for the year ended August 3, 2002. Within these policies, we
have identified the accounting for deferred tax assets and the allowance for
obsolete and excess inventory as being critical accounting policies due to the
significant amount of estimates involved. In addition, for interim periods, we
have identified the valuation of finished goods inventory as being critical due
to the amount of estimates involved.
Deferred Taxes
We account for deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby we
recognize an asset related to our net operating loss carry forwards and other
temporary differences between financial reporting basis and income tax basis. As
of May 3, 2003, this deferred tax asset represented approximately 18% of our
total assets.
As part of our evaluation of deferred tax assets, we consider several
components, including loss carryback periods under the tax laws, earnings as
adjusted for unusual costs, future business plans and recent operating
performance.
When considering the income component of our deferred tax analysis, we factor
out unusual non recurring costs that have occurred due to significant
restructuring of our U.S. operations. These costs include: litigation settlement
costs, unusually high legal and accounting costs, facilities reorganization
charges and operating losses incurred during the closure of certain facilities
that are not expected to recur.
In addition, we consider future business plans. These business plans are
prepared to reflect our best estimates of the financial results we expect in the
following fiscal year. These business plans are then critically analyzed, and
substantially discounted to allow for uncertainties inherent in the planning
process. The "discounted" business plans are used as the basis for projecting
future book income for use in evaluating the carrying value of the Deferred Tax
Assets.
20
In connection with the August 3, 2002 evaluation, recent operating performance
we considered included $6 million in fiscal 2003 first quarter shipments of EDS
products, strong domestic medical systems group shipments and a return to
historical profitability levels at RFI's operations by October 2002.
The above examples of objectively verifiable evidence, coupled with the
non-objectively verifiable evidence of our future book income projections
provided us with enough positive evidence to outweigh the negative evidence of
the historical operating results and supported the conclusion that a valuation
allowance was not necessary as of August 3, 2002.
However, at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003, we decided an
additional detailed review was necessary due to a decline in second quarter
revenues at the Medical Systems Group versus plan, and a $3 million decrease in
second quarter EDS sales from first quarter levels, resulting in a loss for the
six month period. We conducted a similar analysis of actual results, factoring
out unusual costs for the first half of 2003 and concluded that the U.S.
operations were profitable. In addition, we updated our original 2003 forecast
to reflect actual first six months results and lowered future expectations due
to recent economic events, including uncertainties caused by the pending
conflict in the Middle East. Because of uncertainty about near term economic
conditions, we concluded it was not prudent to place as much reliability on the
forecast component of our analysis as we had in the past. Accordingly, we
concluded it was more conservative to use a lower profitability expectation as
derived from the actual first six months income as adjusted for unusual items,
as a basis for projecting the Company's future taxable income. Based upon this
analysis conducted in March 2003, management decided it was prudent to establish
a valuation allowance of $4.7 million as of February 1, 2003.
A corresponding amount of $4.7 million was recorded as an income tax provision
during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. During the third quarter of fiscal
2003, we updated our income as adjusted for unusual items analysis and concluded
the valuation allowance as it stood at the end of the second quarter remains
appropriate. We anticipate that it is more likely than not the remaining
deferred asset will be utilized against future operating profits; however, no
assurances can be given that results of operations will generate profits in the
future.
Other than establishing a valuation allowance, we recorded no adjustments to our
current or deferred tax accounts during the first nine months of fiscal 2003,
with the exception of current tax provision amounts recorded at Villa Sistemi,
our foreign subsidiary.
Obsolete and excess inventory
Another significant estimate is our allowance for obsolete and excess inventory.
We re-evaluate our allowance for obsolete inventory once a quarter, and this
allowance comprises the most significant portion of our inventory reserves. The
re-evaluation of reserves is based on a written policy, which requires at a
minimum that reserves be established based on our analysis of historical actual
usage on a part-by-part basis. In addition, if management learns of specific
obsolescence in addition to this minimum formula, these additional reserves will
be recognized as well. Specific obsolescence might arise due to a technological
or market change, or based on cancellation of an order. As we typically do not
purchase inventory substantially in advance of production requirements, we do
not expect cancellation of an order to be a material risk. However, market or
technology changes can and do happen.
21
Valuation of finished goods inventories
In addition, we use certain estimates in determining interim operating results.
The most significant estimates in interim reporting relate to the valuation of
finished goods inventories. For certain subsidiaries, for interim periods, we
estimate the amount of labor and overhead costs related to finished goods
inventories. As of May 3, 2003, finished goods represented approximately 19% of
the gross carrying value of our total gross inventory. We believe the estimation
methodologies used to be appropriate and are consistently applied.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended May 3, 2003 Compared to Third Quarter and
Nine Months Ended April 27, 2002.
Consolidated net sales of $22.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003
were 15% lower than the third quarter of fiscal 2002, with decreases at both
operating segments. Our Power Conversion Group's sales of $9.6 million were down
16% from the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting a shift to in-house
production of formerly purchased components by a large customer and the decline
in sales to the semiconductor capital equipment market. Our Medical Systems
Group's third quarter sales of $13.4 million decreased 14% versus the prior year
quarter reflecting general softness in the market, decreases in domestic private
label business and approximately $4 million in shipments to a Lithuanian
customer in the prior year's quarter that was not repeated.
Consolidated net sales of $74.5 million for the nine months ended May 3, 2003
were 5% higher than sales for the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.
The Power Conversion Group's nine month sales of $33.9 million improved by 8%
over the prior year period, as a $9 million increase in EDS business was offset
by decreases in sales of other products. The Medical Systems Group's nine months
sales of $40.6 million improved by 3% over the prior year period due to
increased domestic shipments partially offset by a decline in international
shipments. Within fiscal 2003, our quarterly consolidated sales trend is as
follows:
o First Quarter - $25.6 million
o Second Quarter - $26.0 million, with increases in both Medical Systems
businesses and the RFI business, partially offset by decreases in High
Voltage and Bertan businesses
o Third Quarter - $22.9 million, with decreases in all businesses,
reflecting market softness, most notably at Bertan as explained above
and at Villa Sistemi, our Italian medical systems business due to
international uncertainty over the Middle East situation.
Consolidated backlog at May 3, 2003 was $28 million versus backlog at August 3,
2002 of approximately $32 million. The decline in backlog from beginning of year
levels is mostly attributable to high shipments of EDS orders in the Power
Conversion Segment, offset by an increase in the backlog at our Medical Systems
Segment. Substantially all of the backlog should result in shipments within the
next 12 months.
Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2003, decreased $1.1 million
reflecting the $3.9 million decrease in sales compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 2002. Gross margins as a percent of sales were 23% for the third quarter
of fiscal 2003, which is comparable to margins experienced in the third quarter
of fiscal 2002. The Power Conversion Group's third quarter margins were 23%,
versus 27% in the prior year period, reflecting a $0.2 million increase in the
reserve for obsolescence, and decreased shipments, partially offset by lower
overhead costs due to the completion of the consolidation of the Bertan facility
in the third quarter. At the Medical Systems Group, gross margins in the
European operations decreased to 22% from the prior year third quarter level of
22
24%, reflecting the decrease in shipments. Although quarterly sales decreased
12% in our U.S. operations, third quarter gross margin increased to 20% from 18%
in last years third quarter due to improved pricing in fiscal 2003 and lower
material costs. We continue to evaluate product line contribution margins,
improve design platforms and explore intersegment manufacturing synergies and
volume purchasing discounts.
Gross margins as a percent of sales were 22% for the first nine months of fiscal
2003, compared to 23% in the comparable fiscal 2002 period. Despite higher
shipments in fiscal 2003, the gross margin decreased $0.2 million year over
year. The Power Conversion Group's first nine month margins were 20%, versus 23%
in the prior year period, reflecting the effects of $0.8 million in inventory
writedowns and standard costs adjustments primarily related to the consolidation
of the Bertan facility. The Power Conversion Group's fiscal 2003 margins were
also impacted by approximately $0.7 million in losses at the Bertan Facility
during the wind down period. Despite increased shipments, the Medical Systems
Group's gross margins of 23% were comparable to the prior year period, primarily
due to the higher margins in the prior year from shipment of previously written
off product. Within Fiscal 2003 our quarterly consolidated gross margin trend is
as follows:
o First Quarter - 21.2%.
o Second Quarter - 21.3%, with improvements in our Medical Systems
margins offset by lower margins in our Power Conversion Group because
of disruptions caused by the reorganization, inventory costing
adjustments and a $3 million decrease in EDS business.
o Third Quarter - 22.5%, with our Power Conversion Group third quarter
margins improving from second quarter levels of 16.7%, to 22.9%
reflecting the beginning of the reorganization cost savings and the
absence of significant inventory adjustments. Offsetting this was the
lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs that resulted from a
$1.9 million decrease in our Medical Systems sales from the second
quarter.
Selling General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $5.5 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 2003, including $0.6 million of legal and accounting
fees incurred in connection with current legal matters as disclosed in the
contingencies footnote to our financial statements. Included in the $0.6 million
are approximately $0.3 million of legal, public relations and solicitation
expenses in conjunction with a proxy contest before our May 29, 2003 Annual
Meeting. SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 were $5.1 million
and included $0.5 million of unusually high accounting fees. Excluding the
unusually high legal and accounting fees, third quarter SG&A increased $0.3
million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to reorganization
efforts, increased headcount, and higher medical and directors and officers
insurance costs. Research and Development ("R&D") expenses, consisting primarily
of engineering costs, remained consistent at 3% of sales for both periods.
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended May 3, 2003 of $16.7 million or 22% of
sales included unusually high legal and accounting fees of $1.9 million as
described above. SG&A expenses for the nine months ended April 27, 2002 were
$15.8 million and included $3.6 million of unusually high accounting fees.
Excluding the unusually high legal and accounting fees, SG&A for the first nine
months of fiscal 2003 increased by $2.6 million from the same period last year,
reflecting the factors discussed above, plus a payment of $0.2 million during
the first quarter related to the separation of the former president of our
Italian subsidiary. Within fiscal 2003, our SG&A expenses (excluding the unusual
items above) have remained level at approximately $4.9 million per quarter.
Facilities reorganization costs relate to the continued phase out of the Power
Conversion Group's Bertan facility and integration into the Valhalla facility,
which was started in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. The reorganization of
the Valhalla facility and personnel, as well as the balance of the physical move
of Bertan inventory, equipment and personnel was completed in the third quarter
of fiscal 2003. As such, we do not expect to record any additional facilities
reorganization expenses subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal 2003. We are
attempting to sublet the Bertan facility through the end of our lease in May
2004. Any remaining rental obligations or other expenses related to exiting our
tenancy will be charged against a balance sheet accrual established during
fiscal 2002.
23
During the third quarter, we received approximately $0.4 million in settlement
of claims against our former CEO. After netting related legal fees incurred in
the third quarter, we recorded a recovery of $0.2 million. Prior year amounts
include a $0.3 million insurance recovery of class action litigation related
legal costs.
In June 2003, as described in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, we began
preliminary discussions with the US Government regarding a potential
comprehensive settlement of the ongoing US Department of Defense ("DOD")
investigation of our RFI subsidiary. Based on preliminary settlement discussions
with the US Government, discussions with our legal advisors, consideration of
settlements reached by other parties in investigations of this nature, and
consideration of our capital resources, management has now developed an estimate
of the low end of the potential range of the financial impact. Accordingly,
during the third quarter of fiscal 2003, we recorded a charge of $2.3 million,
which represents our estimate of the low end of a range of potential fines and
legal and professional fees. The liability associated with this charge is
included in Litigation settlement reserves on the accompanying balance sheet as
of May 3, 2003. It is possible the ultimate fine and outcome of any potential
settlement, if reached, could vary significantly from our estimate and
expectations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2002, as a result of obtaining the final
court approval of the class action settlement agreement, we recognized an
additional non-cash charge of $7.1 million attributable to the final valuation
of the shares and warrants to be issued. These shares and warrants were
originally valued at $4.4 million in July 2001 pending final court approval but
as of the final settlement date January 29, 2002 were revalued upward by $7.1
million to $11.5 million. The Company also incurred additional legal expenses of
approximately $0.2 million bringing the total charge to $7.2 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2002.
As a result of the above we recognized a fiscal 2003 third quarter operating
loss of $3.4 million compared to a loss of $6.9 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2002. The Medical Systems Group posted an operating profit of $0.1
million, offset by a $2.6 operating loss at the Power Conversion Group and
higher corporate expenses. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003 we
recognized an operating loss of $5.1 million compared to a loss of $8.5 million
in last year's period. Nine month results reflect a Medical Systems Group
operating profit of $0.7 million, offset by operating losses of $2.7 million in
the Power Conversion Group and unallocated corporate costs of $3.1 million,
reflecting the higher legal and accounting costs as described above. The prior
year's results reflect a $7.2 million charge related to the class action
settlement, as described above.
Interest expense for the nine months and quarter ended May 3, 2003 was lower
than the prior years periods, reflecting decreased interest rates and lower
average borrowing levels.
Other income includes a recovery in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 of $0.5
million related to the settlement of a dispute in connection with a 1999 product
line acquisition.
Provision for income taxes for the three and nine month period ended May 3, 2003
reflects the establishment of a $4.7 million deferred tax valuation allowance as
discussed in Critical Accounting Policies, above. We expect to be profitable in
future periods; however management periodically evaluates the likelihood of the
recoverability of the deferred tax asset recognized on our balance sheet. Based
on management analysis, we believe it is more likely than not that the remaining
deferred tax assets will be realized. Other than establishing a valuation
allowance, we recorded no adjustments to our current or deferred tax accounts
during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, with the exception of current tax
provision amounts recorded at Villa Sistemi, our foreign subsidiary.
24
Reflecting the above, we recorded net losses of $3.9 million or $0.38 per share
in the third quarter compared to a net loss of $5.2 million or $0.66 per share
in the third quarter of last year. Our loss was $10.8 million or $1.04 per share
in the first nine months of this year compared to a loss of $6.9 million or $.88
per share for the same period of 2002. Current year earnings per share amounts
reflect the 2,500,000 additional shares issued in conjunction with the
shareholder settlement described in our latest Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We fund our investing and working capital needs through a combination of cash
flow from operations and short-term credit facilities.
Working Capital - At May 3, 2003 and August 3, 2002, our working capital was
approximately $13.6 million and $18.6 million, respectively. At such dates we
had approximately $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in cash and cash
equivalents. As of May 3, 2003 we had approximately $5 million of excess
borrowing availability under our domestic revolving credit facility.
As a result of the potential settlement of the Department of Defense
investigation, we have taken a temporary reserve of $0.5 million against our
excess domestic borrowing availability. At this time, we don't expect these
temporary reserves against borrowing availability to have a material detrimental
impact on our ability to finance working capital requirements. However, there
can be no assurance that the ultimate outcome of the Department of Defense
investigation matters may differ materially from our estimates or the amount of
the temporary reserve.
In addition as of May 3, 2003, our Villa subsidiary has an aggregate of
approximately $6.0 million of excess borrowing availability under its various
short-term credit facilities. Terms of the Italian credit facilities do not
facilitate using borrowing availability to finance operating activities at our
U.S. subsidiaries.
Cash Flows from Operating activities - For the nine months ended May 3, 2003 the
Company generated approximately $4.7 million of cash from operations, compared
to a generation of $7.1 million in last year's period. Contributing to this
year's cash generation were a decrease in trade receivables of approximately
$3.2 million; a reduction in inventory of approximately $2.0 million; and
collection of approximately $4.0 million in income tax receivable. This income
tax receivable was the result of filing amended tax returns and carryback claims
for fiscal 1997 through 2001 due to a change in the tax laws permitting loss
carry backs of five years from two years.
Cash flows from Investing activities - We continue to invest in capital
equipment and improvements, principally for manufacturing operations, in order
to improve our manufacturing capability and capacity. We have expended
approximately $1.8 million in facility improvements and capital equipment for
the nine-month period ended May 3, 2003, principally at the Power Conversion
Group's Valhalla facility related to the consolidation of the Bertan business.
In addition our Villa subsidiary made improvements to its HVAC system.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities - During fiscal 2003, we repaid a total of
approximately $2.4 million of indebtedness on our domestic and Italian
borrowings.

operating leases at August 3, 2002 (in thousands):

(1) In addition, as of August 3, 2002 we had approximately $7 million revolving
credit debt in the U.S. and $1 million in Italy. The Italian credit facilities
are generally renewed on a yearly basis and the US facility matures in fiscal
2005. Upon maturity, the Company anticipates refinancing any balances remaining
on the U.S. facility.
Credit Facility and Borrowing - Our U.S. operations entered into a $10 million
senior revolving credit agreement with Transamerica Business Capital
("Transamerica") on June 10, 2002. This facility has a term of three years with
interest at prime plus 3/4%, or at our option, at a rate tied to LIBOR. The
interest rate on the revolving line of credit is 5.0% at May 3, 2003. Under the
facility, interest is based on either actual outstanding borrowings, or, on a
minimum loan amount of $5.0 million. A commitment fee of 3/8% on the daily
unused portion of the facility, is payable monthly. This credit facility is
secured by substantially all of our accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed
assets located in the U.S. The terms of this credit facility require us to
comply with various operational and financial covenants, and place limitations
on our ability to make capital expenditures and to pay dividends.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we obtained a waiver of non-compliance with
the adjusted earnings, adjusted U.S. earnings, senior debt ratio and fixed
charge coverage ratio financial covenants, and signed a Second Amendment with
Transamerica which includes revised financial covenants that the Company expects
it will be able to continue to meet. As of May 3, 2003, we are in compliance
with the financial covenants, as amended, in the U.S. credit facility.
Our Villa subsidiary is a party to various short-term credit facilities with
interest rates ranging from 6% to 12%. These facilities generally renew on a
yearly basis and include overdraft, receivables and import export financing
facilities.
In addition, Villa is a party to various medium-term commercial and Italian
Government long-term loans. Medium term facilities have interest rates ranging
from 3 to 6%, with principal payable semi-annually through maturity in March
2007, and interest payable quarterly. The Government long-term facilities have
an interest rate of 3.4% with principal payable annually through September 2010.
Villa's manufacturing facility is subject to a capital lease obligation which
matures in 2011 with an option to purchase. Villa is in compliance with all
related financial covenants under these short and long-term financings.
In addition we have a frozen defined benefit pension plan. We expect to
terminate this plan by the end of calendar 2003 by purchasing annuities to
settle the remaining obligations. We anticipate recording a charge of
approximately $0.5 million at termination, which will include a cash
disbursement of $0.2 million to purchase the annuities.
26
On May 1, 2003, we filed Amendment No. 1 to an S-1 Registration statement with
the SEC covering the issuance of one million shares of our common stock
underlying warrants that were issued to certain shareholders in connection with
the previous shareholder litigation. Prior to declaring this amended
Registration Statement effective, we must satisfactorily respond to questions
raised by the SEC in its review of Amendment One and there can be no assurances
that the SEC will declare this Registration Statement effective. Should the SEC
declare this Registration Statement effective, shareholders would be able to
exercise the warrants issued as part of the shareholder litigation settlement
and purchase Del Common Stock at a price of $2 per share. These warrants are
also callable by the Company at a price of $0.25 per warrant, if the Common
Stock trades at or above $4 per share for ten (10) consecutive days. We
anticipate using any proceeds received from exercise of the warrants to pay down
our US credit facilities.
As described in Legal Proceedings (Part II, Item 1), below, management has
developed an estimate of the low end of the potential range of the financial
impact of a potential comprehensive settlement with the DOD regarding an ongoing
investigation of our RFI subsidiary. Accordingly, during the third quarter of
fiscal 2003, we recorded a charge of $2.3 million, which represents our estimate
of the low end of a range of potential fines and legal and professional fees.
The liability associated with this charge is included in Litigation settlement
reserves on the accompanying balance sheet as of May 3, 2003. There can be no
assurance that such a potential settlement will be reached and, even if reached
that the ultimate fine required by any settlement will not vary significantly
from the Company's estimate and expectations.
It is possible that the DOD could seek a "debarment" or exclusion of the Company
from doing business with US Government entities for a period of time. Because
management believes that is has been responsive in addressing the problems that
affected RFI in the past, and RFI is the sole source provider of certain
products, we are hopeful that our ability to service the governmental and
defense sectors will not be interrupted as a result of the potential settlement.
There can be no assurance that such a settlement will be reached and, even if
reached that the ultimate fine and outcome of any settlement will not vary
significantly from the Company's estimate and expectations. In addition, such a
settlement, even on the most favorable terms, may have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial condition, liquidity and operations.
The Company's newly elected Board of Directors has reviewed the "change in
control" provisions regarding payments totaling up to approximately $1.8 million
under the employment agreement between the Company and its Chief Executive
Officer, Mr.Samuel E. Park. As a result of this review and based upon, among
other things, the advice of special counsel, the Company's Board of Directors
has determined that no obligation to pay these amounts has been triggered. Mr.
Park has orally informed the Company that, after reviewing the matter with his
counsel, he believes that the obligation to pay these amounts has been
triggered. If paid in a lump sum at the time Mr.Park asserts the payments are
due, these payments may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity. In the event Mr.Park seeks to assert a claim for these change in
control payments, it is not possible to predict the outcome of any such claim;
however, the Company's Board of Directors does not believe that such a claim is
reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in the Company's liquidity
in the foreseeable future.
The outcome of the elections at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders
held on May 29, 2003 represents a change in control under change in control
agreements between the Company and each of four other members of executive
management. However, as each of these agreements contains double-triggers
requiring the termination of the individual, no change in control payments are
currently due to any such individuals.
We anticipate that cash generated from operations and amounts available from
credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our currently projected
operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months, and for the
foreseeable future.
27
In the event the potential settlement of the DOD investigation is materially
higher than anticipated we will consider a variety of alternatives including,
payment over time, additional long-term borrowings or asset sales. However,
these alternatives may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms at
that time.
Item 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading
purposes, use derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities. We do,
however, experience market risk from interest rate and foreign currency exchange
exposure.
Interest Rate Risk
Our U.S. and foreign revolving credit facilities and certain of our Italian
subsidiary's long-term debt incur interest charges that fluctuate with changes
in market interest rates. Based on the balances as of August 3, 2002, an
increase of 1/2 of 1% in interest rates would increase interest expense by
approximately $70,000 annually. There is no assurance that interest rates will
increase or decrease over the next fiscal year.
Foreign Currency Risk
The financial statements of Villa Sistemi Medicali S.p.A. are denominated in
Euro. Villa accounts for approximately 25 to 30% of our total revenues. Having a
portion of our future income from Villa's revenues denominated in Euro exposes
us to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of
future Euro earnings. A 10% decline in the value of the Euro in fiscal 2002, for
example, would have reduced revenues by approximately $2.8 million, and, at
average operating margins in effect during the period, would have increased our
consolidated operating loss by approximately $0.3 million (due to the reduction
in the U.S. dollar value of Villa's operating income.) In addition, Villa on
average, carries approximately $0.8 million of U.S. dollar denominated trade
receivables, and is subject to the risk of currency fluctuations between
invoicing and subsequent collection.
Item 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure (1)
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms,
and (2) that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and review of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures in May 2003. Based on that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely
manner to material information regarding the Company (including our consolidated
subsidiaries) that is required to be included in our periodic reports to the
SEC.
In addition, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect those controls since our
November 2002 evaluation. We cannot assure you, however, that our system of
disclosure controls and procedures will always achieve its stated goals under
all future conditions, no matter how remote.
28
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Dollars in Thousands)
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Investigation - On December 11, 2000,
the Division of Enforcement of the SEC issued a formal Order Directing Private
Investigation, designating SEC officers to take testimony and requiring the
production of certain documents, in connection with matters giving rise to the
need to restate the Company's previously issued financial statements. The
Company has provided numerous documents to and continues to cooperate fully with
the SEC staff.
The Company has reached an agreement in principle with the Staff of the SEC to
settle the SEC's claims against the Company for a settlement that will include a
penalty of up to $400 and an injunction against future violations of the
antifraud, periodic reporting, books and records and internal accounting control
provisions of the federal securities law. The proposed settlement may be subject
to, amongst other things, a future restatement of historical financial
statements for the Company, or other material adjustments. However, management
is not aware of any restatements or adjustments required with respect to
financial statements filed with the SEC since April 2002. In addition, the
proposed settlement will require approval by the Commission and by the Court. We
can give no assurance that this settlement will be approved by either the
Commission or the Court, or that the terms will not be changed.
Although the Company has not reached a binding agreement with the SEC on this
settlement proposal, management believes that this agreement in principle is a
reasonable basis on which it can now estimate the financial impact of this SEC
investigation. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $685 in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002 related to this agreement in principle with the SEC
Staff, which includes associated legal costs.
Department of Defense Investigation - On March 8, 2002, RFI Corporation, a
subsidiary of the Company and part of the Power Conversion Group segment, was
served with a subpoena by the US Attorney Eastern District of New York in
connection with an investigation by the US Department of Defense ("DOD"). RFI
supplies noise suppression filters for communications and defense applications.
Since March 2002, the DOD has been investigating certain past practices at RFI
which date back more than six years and pertain to RFI's Military Specification
testing, record keeping and general operating procedures. Management retained
special counsel to represent the Company on this matter. The Company cooperated
fully with this investigation, including voluntarily providing employees to be
interviewed by the Defense Criminal Investigative Services division of the DOD.
In June 2003, the Company was advised that the US Government is willing to enter
into negotiations regarding a comprehensive settlement of this investigation.
Management believes that a potential comprehensive settlement will include the
Company's pleading guilty to certain criminal charges, and agreeing to pay
certain fines and restitution to the Government in an amount which could be
material to the Company.
Prior to the preliminary discussions with the US Government in June 2003, the
Company had no basis to estimate the financial impact of this investigation.
Based on preliminary settlement discussions with the US Government, discussions
with the Company's legal advisors, consideration of settlements reached by other
parties in investigations of this nature, and consideration of the Company's
capital resources, management has now developed an estimate of the low end of
the potential range of the financial impact. Accordingly, during the third
quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a charge of $2,347, which
represents its estimate of the low end of a range of potential fines and legal
and professional fees. The liability associated with this charge is included in
Litigation settlement reserves on the accompanying balance sheet as of May 3,
2003.
29
There can be no assurance that such a settlement will be reached and, even if
reached that the ultimate fine required by any settlement will not vary
significantly from the Company's estimate and expectations
The Company believes that any settlement could cause the DOD to seek to limit
the ability of the Company to do business with US Government entities. Such
limitations could include seeking a "debarment" or exclusion from doing business
with US Government entities for a period of time. Because management believes
that it has been responsive in addressing the problems that affected RFI in the
past, and RFI is the sole source provider of certain products, the Company is
hopeful that as a result of the potential settlement, its ability to service the
governmental and defense sectors of its business will not be interrupted.
There can be no assurance that such a settlement will be reached and, even if
reached that the ultimate fine and outcome of any settlement will not vary
significantly from the Company's estimate and expectations. In addition, such a
settlement, even on the most favorable terms, may have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial condition, liquidity and operations.
Employment Matters - The Company had an employment agreement with the former
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") through July 2005. The agreement provided a
minimum base salary, deferred compensation and bonuses, as defined. The Company
accrued deferred compensation at a rate of 5% of pretax income with a minimum of
$100 and a maximum of $125. In the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the employment
of the former CEO was terminated. In February 2002, the Company filed a lawsuit
against the former CEO alleging fraudulent and other wrongful acts, including
securities law violations, fraudulent accounting practices, breaches of
fiduciary duties, insider trading violations and corporate mismanagement. The
complaint sought damages in excess of $15 million.
The former CEO answered the Company's complaint, and counterclaimed for damages
based on the termination of his employment by the Company. The former CEO also
brought third party claims against certain directors and officers, which were
dismissed on October 18, 2002.
In March of 2003, the Company and the former CEO reached a settlement of these
lawsuits. Under the terms of the settlement and mutual release, the Company's
former CEO paid the Company $400 in cash and transferred to the Company 14,967
shares of Company common stock, valued at approximately $45 as of March 7, 2003.
The Company recognized the effect of this settlement in the third quarter of
Fiscal 2003, offset by associated legal cost incurred during that quarter.
Other Legal Matters - The Company is a defendant in several other legal actions
arising from normal course of business. Management believes the Company has
meritorious defenses to such actions and that the outcomes will not be material
to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
