PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
The Company operates a one segment business. A significant portion of the
Company's business is the production of electronic equipment for military use
with the United States Government and its agencies being the largest customer
and user. Sales were made to the United States Government and its agencies
on both a prime and subcontract basis. Sales on a subcontract basis were
made to both domestic and foreign customers. Of the total sales,
approximately $7,816,000 in 1995, $13,578,000 in 1994 and $14,845,000 in 1993
represented sales made on both a prime and subcontract basis to the United
States Government and its agencies. Sales of this nature on a subcontract basis
to two domestic customers and one foreign customer accounted for 31.5%, 24.2%
and 16.2% respectively, of total sales in 1995. Sales of this nature on a
subcontract basis to one domestic customer accounted for 66.8% of total sales
in 1994. Sales of this nature on a subcontract basis to two domestic customers
accounted for 59.7% and 15.8%, respectively, of total sales in 1993.
Export sales in 1995 aggregated approximately $2,602,000. Export sales in
1994 and 1993 were not significant.
A significant portion of the Company's business is conducted with Loral
and General Electric, the loss of either of which would have a material adverse
effect.
Products
The Company has been and intends to continue to be engaged principally in
the development, design, production and sales of specialized electronic power
conditioning apparatus (electronic power supplies), a wide variety of
transformers and other types of iron-core components, and electronic systems.
In some cases, the Company manufactures such products in accordance with
pre-developed mechanical and electrical requirements not requiring
environmental testing. The Company does not generally manufacture standardized
components.
The electronic power supplies and components manufactured by the Company
find application principally in computers; aircraft, shipboard and land based
radar; missile guidance and control systems; short, medium range and global
communication systems; navigation systems for aircraft; and nuclear submarine
control systems, and more recently in locomotives. The electronics systems
manufactured by the Company include optical aircraft landing systems for
carrier and land based airstrips, and antenna systems. These systems utilize
the Company's own electronic power supplies, transformers and other iron-core
components. The Company's iron-core components include transformers of the
audio, power and pulse types; magnetic amplifiers; and audio filters.
I-1
The following tabulation shows the percentage of the Company's total sales
represented by sales of each class of similar products which contributed at
least 15% of total sales during one or more of the last three fiscal years.
Fiscal Year Ended June 30
1995 1994 1993
Electronic Power Supplies 84% 85% 75%
Iron-Core Components 11% 11% 14%
Electronic Systems & Assemblies 5% 4% 11%
Raw Materials
The Company has never experienced any significant delay or shortage with
respect to the purchase of raw materials and components used in the manufacture
of its products, and has at least two potential sources of supply for all raw
materials used by it.
Sales Backlog
The total amount of backlog orders believed to be firm as of June 30, 1995
was approximately $20,878,000 as compared to approximately $19,209,000 as of
June 30, 1994. It is anticipated that a minimum of $13,000,000 of orders
comprising the June 30, 1995 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1996. This is in addition to any shipments which may be made
against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1996.
From June 30, 1995 to mid-September 1995, the Company booked approximately
$1,032,000 in new business.
Military Contracts
The Company, as well as other companies primarily engaged in supplying
equipment for military use, is subject to various risks, including, without
limitation, dependence on government appropriations and program allocations,
the competition for available military business, and termination of orders
for convenience.
I-2
Marketing and Competition
The Company is on the eligible list of contractors of many agencies of the
Department of Defense and generally is automatically solicited by such agencies
for procurement needs falling within the major classes of products produced
by the Company. In addition, the
Company directly solicits bids from both the Department of Defense and other
U.S. Government agencies for prime contracts. Subcontract work for government
end use is solicited from major electronic and aircraft companies, primarily by
the Company's own employees.
There is competition in all classes of products manufactured by the Comp
any, from divisions of the largest electronic companies in the country as well
as many small companies. The Company's sales do not represent a significant
portion of the industry's production of any class of products made by the Comp
any. The principal methods of competition for electronic products for the
United States Government military use include, among other factors, price and
product performance and the experience of the particular company and history of
its dealings in such products.
The Company's business is not considered to be of a seasonal nature.
Research and Development
The Company does not expend monies in material amount for independent
research or development. In fiscal year 1995, approximately $141,000 was
expended for this type of effort. Some of the Company's professional employees
spend varying degrees of time in either development of new products or
improvement of existing products.
Employees
The number of persons employed by the Company as of September 19, 1995
was 199.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company's principal manufacturing and all of its engineering
facilities are at its plant, which it owns, in Saratoga Springs, New York. The
Company initially occupied the plant in 1952, and in 1955 consolidated all of
its manufacturing operations at the plant when it terminated its manufacturing
operations in New York City.
The Saratoga Springs plant was originally constructed about 1900 and
consists of various closely adjoining one-story buildings. The plant is fully
sprinklered and contains
I-3
approximately 138,000 square feet of floor space, of which 60,000 is used for
manufacturing, 23,000 for engineering, 33,000 for shipping and climatically
secured storage, and 3,000 for offices. The offices and engineering are air
conditioned and approximately 1,000 square feet of "white rooms" are completely
climatically controlled. In addition to assembly and wiring operations, the
plant includes facilities for varnishing, potting, impregnation, and spray
painting operations, in addition to complete machine shop and sheet metal
fabrication facilities adequate for substantially all of the Company's current
operations. During the year the Company expended about $800,000 for the
upgrading of its plating department to more uniformly conform to the
environmental standards set by the Federal Government and established a new
plating division, called Saratoga Electro-Finishing. Besides normal test
equipment, the Company maintains a sophisticated on-site environmental test
facility. A fully staffed ADP Center is on-site.
The Company maintains additional manufacturing facilities in a
three-story, fully sprinklered building of approximately 4,000 square feet at
146 Fulton Street, Gloversville, New York. The facility is used primarily for
subcomponent wiring and assembly.
The Company maintains a sales office in a modern office building at 445
Northern Boulevard, Great Neck, New York. This space, comprising approximately
750 square feet, is leased from a non-affiliated person for a term expiring on
September 30, 1996.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operation
Net Sales and Operating Income. The Company operates a one segment
business. It principally manufactures power supplies and components for
military use pursuant to specifications. Sales volume is dependent to a large
extent on product mix in any given fiscal period. This mix is in turn subject
to the dictates of customer needs and delivery requirements. These factors
principally account for any variation in sales and operating income from year
to year.
Sales for fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 were
$14,574,097, $14,678,303, and $15,206,921, respectively. The corresponding cost
of sales were 90%, 80%, and 77% respectively. The increase in cost of sales for
1995 resulted in a decrease in our gross profit as compared to 1994. The
decrease in gross profits resulted from an overrun on one foreign contract, but
more importantly from the increasingly competitive nature of our business. This
factor has forced us to temporarily accept business with reduced profit margins.
We are attempting to alleviate this situation by expanding our efforts to
develop items of a more proprietary nature in both the commercial and military
marketplace. In line with this, we have made an investment in one domestic
military order for the refinement and advancement of new technology for the
advanced generation of Patriot missiles. This same technology will be used for
the propulsion systems of the next generation of Naval ships throughout the
world. We are actively pursuing additional business in this area, and feel that
the experience gained on this order, although costly, will enable us to
successfully accomplish our goal. This will hopefully enable us to enhance our
earnings in future periods.
Selling and general & administrative expenses increased by approximately
$112,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994. This increase was principally due to the
addition of one Vice President to our corporate structure. Interest and
dividend income increased by $288,289 in 1995 due partly to an increase in
short term interest rates and partly due to a more sophisticated money
management program instituted this year. Earnings before income taxes decreased
in 1995 to $750,137 from $1,937,708 in 1994. Earnings per share after taxes
decreased to $.37 from $1.00. However, the net earnings per share of $1.00
reported for 1994 reflected an additional $ .15, which arose as the result of a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This was caused by the
implementation of SFAS 109.
Currently approximately 90% of our investment base is represented by U.S.
Government short term T-Bills, with the balance being represented by short term
Certificates of Deposit and 1000 shares of GTE Florida preferred stock.
Consequently the Company does not feel that there is any significant risk
associated with its investment policy.
Other Income And Expense
The Company's combined investment in both short-term investments and
marketable investment securities on June 30th was:$10,883,324 in 1991;
$11,754,564 in 1992; $12,226,531 in 1993; $13,290,888 in 1994; and $12,022,004
in 1995. Of this investment in both 1995 and 1994, $100,000 was in preferred
stock. The short-term investments consisted of Certificates of Deposit and
U. S. Treasury Bills. During fiscal years 1991 through 1995, interest rates on
short-term investments ranged from 8.16% to 2.10%. This factor accounts for the
fluctuation of interest and dividend income during the five-year period.
II-3
In 1993, 1994, and 1995 "Sundry" items consisted of various miscellaneous
items. In 1993 there is included an amount of $12,471 capital gain
attributable to the redemption of 1,500 shares of Philadelphia Electric Co.
9.5% preferred stock. Interest income and dividends were $367,445 and $430,496
for fiscal years 1993 and 1994 respectively, and $718,785 for 1995.
Changes in Accounting Principles and Policies
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", as of July 1, 1993 on
a prospective basis. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting for
income taxes as of July 1, 1993 was $201,653 and is separately identified in
the statement of earnings for the year ended June 30, 1994. Prior years'
financial statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS
No. 109.
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. In addition, SFAS No. 109 requires that the tax benefit of the tax
deductible dividends on unallocated ESOP shares be recorded as a direct
addition to contributed capital rather than as a reduction of income tax
expense. The actual amount for fiscal 1994 which was a direct addition to
capital was $55,007, and the estimated amount for fiscal 1995 will be
approximately $50,000.
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities", as of July 1, 1994, the effects of which are
described in the notes to the financial statements.
Dividends & Rights
On September 18, 1995 the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.70
per common share payable November 21, 1995 to holders of record on October 27,
1995.
Post Retirement or Employment Benefits
The Company does not currently offer, nor does management contemplate
offering in the future, any post-retirement or employment benefits.
Consequently, no accruals or liabilities have been provided for in the
financial statements.
II-4
Liquidity and Capital Expenditures
The Company's working capital is an appropriate indicator of the
liquidity of its business, and during the past three fiscal years, the Company,
when possible, has funded all of its operations, including financing
activities, with cash flows resulting from operating activities. The Company
did not borrow any funds during the last three fiscal years and does not
anticipate that it will borrow during fiscal year 1996. During fiscal year
1995, the Company expended approximately $1,080,000 for plant improvements and
new equipment. The Company plans to expend approximately $250,000 for new
equipment and plant improvements in fiscal 1996. It is anticipated that the
funds required will be available from current operations.
Other Events
An ESOP was established for the eligible non-union employees of the
Company and was effective as of July 1, 1988. The ESOP used the proceeds of a
loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common stock
for approximately $8.4 million, and the Company contributed approximately
$400,000 to the ESOP, which was used by the ESOP to purchase an additional
15,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Each year the Company makes
contributions to the ESOP which are used to make loan interest and principal
payments. With each loan and interest payment, a portion of the common stock
will be allocated to participating employees. As of June 30, 1995, there were
124,388 shares allocated to participants. Dividends attributable to allocated
shares were likewise allocated to the participants' accounts, whereas the
dividends on unallocated shares were used as part of the loan repayment, thus
reducing the Company's required contribution. The loan from the Company to the
ESOP is repayable in annual installments of $1,039,605, including interest
through June 30, 2004. Interest is payable at a rate of 9% per annum. The
Company's receivable from the ESOP is recorded as common stock subscribed in the
accompanying balance sheets.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993 the Company repurchased 38,618
shares of its common stock at a total cost of $572,273. 33,618 shares were
purchased from the estate of Frieda Pinsley, a former director and officer, and
5,000 shares were purchased on the open market. No shares were repurchased in
fiscal 1994. In 1995 7,260 shares were repurchased from the ESOP representing
distributions taken by participants. Under existing authorizations, as of June
30, 1995, funds in the amount of $1,083,317 were available for the continuing
repurchase of the Company's shares.
At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 10, 1993, an
amendment, approved and recommended by the Board of Directors, was adopted by
the Shareholders to the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the
maximum number of directors from seven to nine and to classify the Board into
three classes of three directors each, with directors after the election of the
first classified Board at such 1993 Annual Meeting to be elected for a term of
three years. The Board of Directors currently has eight members following the
death of Albert K. Braim,a Class A Director, on October 20, 1994.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.:
We have audited the financial statements of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. as
listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the
financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as
listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.
as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein. As discussed in
note 1(g) to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of
accounting for investments to adopt the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"
on July 1, 1994. Also, as discussed in note 1(d) to the financial
statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes to
adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes on
July 1, 1993."

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993
(1)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Inventory Valuation and Income Recognition
Raw materials are valued at cost, principally on the first-in, first-out
method.
Inventoried work relating to contracts and other work in process is
valued at actual production cost, including factory overhead and
initial set-up costs incurred to date, reduced by amounts identified
with revenue recognized on units shipped and billed. Provision for
losses on contracts is made when existence of such losses becomes
evident. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are
based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be
produced. Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months.
Revenue is recognized on contracts and orders in the period in which the
units are shipped and billed (unit-of-delivery method).
(b)Progress Payments
The Company receives progress payments on certain sales contracts. Such
payments are recorded as a reduction of inventory and are liquidated
when customers are billed for completed items shipped.
(c)Depreciation
Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed generally on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets for
book purposes and on an accelerated method for tax purposes.
(d)Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", as of
July 1, 1993 on a prospective basis. The cumulative effect of the
change in accounting for income taxes as of July 1, 1993 was
$201,653 and is separately identified in the statement of earnings
for the year ended June 30, 1994. Prior years' financial statements
have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 109.
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
In 1993 and prior years, the Company accounted for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96.
(e)Investment Tax Credits
Investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax
expense in the year taxes payable are reduced. Such credits amounted to
approximately $0 in 1995, $7,000 in 1994 and $15,000 in 1993 for
state tax purposes.
(f)Short-Term Investments and Cash Equivalents
All short-term investments consisting of certificates of deposit, money
market accounts, and U.S. treasury bills, maturing within three
months, are considered cash equivalents for purposes of the
statements of cash flows.
(g)Marketable Investment Securities
Marketable investment securities at June 30, 1995 consist of U.S.
Treasury securities and corporate equity securities. The Company
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," at July 1, 1994. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115,
at July 1, 1994, all amounts included in short-term investments
matured within three months of the adoption date. Therefore no amounts
were transferred to marketable investment securities upon adoption and
there was no cumulative effect from this change. Under SFAS No. 115, the
Company classifies its U.S. Treasury securities as held-to-maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities are those securities in which the Company
has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity
securities are recorded at cost.
A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity security below
cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings
resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the
related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the
effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized
when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as
held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived using the
specific identification method for determining the cost of securities
sold.
(2)Marketable Investment Securities
Marketable investment securities at June 30, 1995, consist of:
Held-to-maturity, at amortized cost(current) $10,454,464
Corporate equity securities, at amortized cost (long-
term) 100,000
TOTAL $10,554,464
The held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 1995 included U.S. Treasury
securities and corporate equity securities. The cost and fair market
value of the U.S. Treasury securities at June 30, 1995 were $10,454,464
and $10,627,469, respectively. There were no gross unrealized gains
or losses on U.S. Treasury securities at June 30, 1995. The difference
between cost and fair market value for the U.S. Treasury securities
represents interest income which has been recognized during 1995 and
is included in accrued interest receivable at June 30, 1995. The cost
and fair market value of the corporate equity securities at June 30,
1995 were $100,000 and $104,000, respectively. As of June 30, 1995,
there were gross unrealized gains of $4,000 and no gross unrealized
losses on the corporate equity securities.
Maturities of investment securities classified as held-to-maturity
were as follows at June 30, 1995:
Amortized Fair
Cost Value
Due after three months through 1 year $ 10,454,464 10,627,469
Corporate equity securities 100,000 104,000
TOTAL $ 10,554,464 10,731,469
Marketable investment securities, at June 30, 1994, consist of equity
securities which are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market.
As of June 30, 1994, there were gross unrealized gains of $4,000 and
no gross unrealized losses.
(3)Inventories and Cost of Sales
Included in costs relating to contracts in process at June 30, 1995, 1994
and 1993 are costs of $1,023,945, $835,056, and $1,263,221,
respectively, relative to contracts that may not be completed within the
ensuing year. Under the unit-of-delivery method, the related sale and
cost of sales will not be reflected in the statement of earnings until the
units under contract are shipped.
The cost elements of contracts in process consist of production costs
of goods and services currently in process and overhead relative to
those contracts where such costs are reimbursable under the terms
of the contracts. General and administrative expenses are charged to
operations in the period in which they are incurred.
(4)Contracts in Process
Contracts in process at June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
1995 1994
Gross contract value $ 20,878,002 19,208,657
Carrying value of contracts in process 10,891,178 10,069,377
Less progress payments 2,121,800 1,991,300
Included in current assets as contracts
in process, net of progress payments $ 8,769,378 8,078,077
(5)Property, Plant and Equipment
A summary of property, plant and equipment at June 30, 1995 and
1994 is as follows:
1995 1994
Land $ 50,000 50,000
Buildings and improvements 3,812,594 3,001,329
Machinery and equipment 7,288,397 7,021,481
Furniture, fixtures and office
equipment 313,645 312,383
TOTAL $ 11,464,636 10,385,193
Amounts provided for depreciation for the years ended June 30, 1995,
1994 and 1993 were $493,735, $490,987 and $423,322, respectively.
The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows:
Buildings and improvements 20 - 25 years
Machinery and equipment 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 10 years
Autos and trucks 5 years
(6)Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs charged to operations during the
years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were approximately
$141,000, $119,000 and $114,000, respectively.
(7)Pension Expense
Under terms of a negotiated union contract, the Company is obligated
to make contributions to a union sponsored defined benefit pension
plan covering eligible employees. Such contributions are based upon
hours worked at a specified rate and amounted to $65,500 in 1995,
$57,300 in 1994 and $60,419 in 1993.
(8)Provision for Income Taxes
A summary of the components of the provision for income taxes for
the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is as follows:
1995 1994 1993
Current tax expense - Federal $ 324,021 646,448 837,044
Current tax expense - State 22,000 221,400 195,240
Deferred tax expense (benefit) (87,651) (72,364) 5,099
TOTAL $ 258,370 795,484 1,037,383
Total income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
was allocated as follows:
1995 1994
Earnings from operations $ 258,370 795,484
Stockholders' equity, for tax effect of
dividends on unallocated ESOP shares (50,070) (55,007)
TOTAL $ 208,300 740,477
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of "temporary differences"
between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and such amounts measured by tax laws and regulations.
These "temporary differences" are determined in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (see note 1(d)).
The combined U.S. Federal and state effective income tax rates of
34.4%, 41.1% and 39.4% for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively,
differed from the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate for the
following reasons:
1995 1994 1993
U.S. statutory tax rate 34.0% 34.0% 34.0%
Increase (reduction) in rate resulting from:
Dividends received deduction (.3) (.1) (.2)
State franchise tax, net of Federal income
tax benefit 1.9 7.6 4.9
Tax benefit of dividends paid to unallocated
ESOP shares - - (1.9)
Effect of limitation of deferred tax assets - - 3.0
Other (1.2) (.4) (.4)
Effective tax rate 34.4% 41.1% 39.4%
For the year ended June 30, 1995, deferred income tax benefit of
$87,651 results from the changes in temporary differences for the year.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 are
presented below:
1995 1994
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property, plant and equipment -
principally due to differences in
depreciation methods $ 543,396 593,091
Inventory - effect of uniform
capitalization 41,682 32,169
Total gross deferred tax liabilities 585,078 625,260
Deferred tax assets:
Common stock subscribed - due to
difference in interest recognition 478,466 430,997
Total gross deferred tax assets 478,466 430,997
Net deferred tax liability $ 106,612 194,263
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of
historical taxable income and projection for future taxable income over
the period which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management
believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits
of these temporary differences without consideration of a valuation
allowance.
The sources of deferred income taxes charged (credited) to earnings
in 1993 are as follows:
1993
Effect of uniform capitalization and inventory adjustments $ (18,750)
Accelerated depreciation for tax purposes 43,458
Interest income from ESOP for tax purposes (19,609)
TOTAL $ 5,099
The Company's Federal income tax returns have been audited and
accepted without change through June 30, 1989.
(9)Common Stock and Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share information is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods.
The weighted average number of shares used in the computation was
1,346,757 in 1995, 1,350,708 in 1994 and 1,355,040 in 1993.
(10)Segment Reporting
A significant portion of the Company's business is the production of
electronic equipment for military use, with the U.S. Government and
its agencies being the largest customer and user. Sales were made to
the U.S. Government and its agencies on both a prime and subcontract
basis. Sales on a subcontract basis were made to both domestic and
foreign customers. Of the total sales approximately $7,816,000
in 1995, $13,578,000 in 1994, and $14,845,000 in 1993 represented
sales made on both a prime and subcontract basis to the U.S.
Government and its agencies. Sales of this nature on a subcontract
basis to two domestic customers and one foreign customer accounted
for 31.5%, 24.2%, and 16.2%, respectively, of total sales in 1995. Sales
of this nature on a subcontract basis to one domestic customer account
for 66.8% of total sales in 1994. Sales of this nature on a subcontract
basis to two domestic customers accounted for 59.7% and 15.8%,
respectively, of total sales in 1993.
Export sales in 1995 aggregated approximately $2,602,000. Export
sales in 1994 and 1993 were not significant.
(11)Related Transactions
Barry Pinsley, son of the Company's president, Sol Pinsley, received
from the Company approximately $54,000 in 1994 and $120,000 in
1993 for consulting services. On March 28, 1994, the arrangement for
consulting services was terminated and Barry Pinsley is now employed
as a vice-president of the Company.
(12)Stock Rights Plan
During 1989, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan in
which common stock purchase rights were distributed as a dividend at
the rate of one right for each share of common stock outstanding as
of or issued subsequent to April 14, 1989. Each right entitles the
holder thereof to buy one-half share of common stock of the Company
at an exercise price of $75 per share subject to adjustment. The rights
are exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership
of 25% or more of the Company's common stock or commences a
tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the
offeror, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the
beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Company's common stock.
If a 25% or larger shareholder should engage in certain self-dealing
transactions or a merger with the Company in which the Company is
the surviving corporation and its shares of common stock are not
changed or converted into equity securities of any other person, or
if any person were to become the beneficial owner of 30% or more
of the Company's common stock, then each right not owned by such
shareholder or related parties of such shareholder (all of which will be
void) will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then current
exercise price, shares of the Company's common stock having a value of
twice the right's exercise price. In addition, if the Company is involved
in any other merger or consolidation with, or sells 50% or more of its
assets or earning power to, another person, each right will entitle its
holder To purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of
common stock of such other person having a value of twice the right's
exercise price.
The Company generally is entitled to redeem the rights at one cent
per right at any time until the 15th day (or 25th day if extended by
the Company's Board of Directors) following public announcement
that a 25% position has been acquired or the commencement of a
tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the
offeror, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the
beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Company's common stock.
(13)Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In 1989, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) for eligible non-union employees. The ESOP used the
proceeds of a loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of
the Company's common stock for approximately $8.4 million and the
Company contributed approximately $400,000 in 1989 to the ESOP
which was used by the ESOP to purchase an additional 15,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. Since inception of the Plan, the
ESOP has sold or distributed 17,729 shares of the Company's common
stock to pay benefits to participants. At June 30, 1995, the ESOP held
a total of 321,200 shares of the Company's common stock, of which
142,116 shares were allocated to participants in the Plan.
The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual
installments of $1,039,605, including interest, through June 30, 2004.
Interest is payable at a rate of 9% per annum. The Company's
receivable from the ESOP is recorded as common stock subscribed
in the accompanying balance sheets.
Each year, the Company makes contributions to the ESOP which
are used to make loan payments. With each loan payment, a
portion of the common stock is allocated to participating employees.
In 1995, the Company's required contribution of $1,039,605 was
reduced by $126,072 which represents the dividends paid to the
unallocated ESOP shares. The resulting payment of $913,533
includes $432,590 classified as compensation expense. In 1994, the
Company's required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by
$138,679 which represents the dividends paid to the unallocated
ESOP shares. The resulting payment of $900,926 includes $419,983
classified as compensation expense. In 1993, the Company's
required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by $151,286 which
represents the dividends paid to the unallocated ESOP shares. The
resulting payment of $888,319 includes $407,376 classified as
compensation expense.
