INNOVEX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innovex, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions and accounts. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of operating results have been made. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. The Company utilizes a fiscal year that ends on the Saturday nearest to September 30. For clarity of presentation, the Company has described all periods as if they end at the end of the calendar quarter. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004.
Preparation of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
During fiscal 2004, the Company recorded asset impairment and restructuring charges of $13.1 million and $1.7 million related to the planned closure of the Maple Plain facility and the plan to discontinue support of the FSA attachment process. The impairment was triggered by the lower than expected financial performance of the Company during the quarter ending June 2004 resulting from the impact of the high fixed cost structure in place at that time on lower than expected revenue and the decision of our largest FSA customer to shift a significant level of next generation business to a competing technology. The assets that were impaired included the Maple Plain facility and related equipment and equipment used in the FSA attachment process. The fair value of these assets was determined using quoted market prices where available, appraised values or estimated future cash flows where more definitive values were not available. The Maple Plain building was written down at June 30, 2004 to its expected net realizable value, $5,500,000. The building has been listed for sale since September 2004. The assets used to support the FSA attachment process were written down to the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the FSA attachment equipment over its expected remaining operating life which ranged from 12 to 24 months as of June 30, 2004. The assets are expected to have no net realizable value at the end of their expected remaining operating life.
In order to reduce its cost structure, the Company is closing its Maple Plain facility and consolidating its operations with its Lamphun, Thailand and Litchfield, Minnesota facilities. In addition, the Company plans to discontinue supporting the FSA attachment process in order to utilize its resources in other growth areas where the Company believes it has an advantage. Excluding asset impairment charges, restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $7 million. The $7 million is expected to be comprised of $1.8 million for one-time termination benefits, $0.4 million for contract termination costs and $4.8 million for other moving and closing costs associated with the consolidation of the Maple Plain location with the Companys other locations. Restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $2.0 million were recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2005, respectively. The charges for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 were comprised of $915,000 for termination benefits and $1,055,000 related to moving and closing costs. Charges of $3.7 million related to this restructuring have been recorded through June 30, 2005. The remaining expected charges of $3.3 million are expected to be incurred during the last quarter of fiscal 2005 and first quarter of fiscal 2006.
As part of the June 2004 restructuring, engineering support of future FSA attachment development was discontinued. The Company is continuing to maintain engineering support of FSA attachment programs which were in production or programs for which the Company is qualified for future production. As the FSA programs reach their end of life, the Company will lower the level of engineering and production personnel supporting them. The Company will continue to develop flexible circuits to be used by other companies for their FSA development needs but the
6
Company is not allocating any personnel or resources to develop or support future internal FSA attachment programs.

NOTE 3 NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Companys basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Companys diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options when dilutive. Options to purchase 1,673,348 and 1,332,509 shares of common stock were outstanding during the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2005, but were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents because they were not dilutive. Options to purchase 1,274,376 and 962,985 shares of common stock were outstanding during the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2004, but were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents because they were not dilutive.
NOTE 4 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company uses the intrinsic value method for valuing stock options granted. Had the fair value method been applied, the Companys compensation expense would have been different. The following table illustrates the effect on the net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value method to stock-based compensation for the following three and nine month periods:

The weighted average fair value of options granted in fiscal 2005 and 2004 was $1.62 and $4.04, respectively. The weighted average fair value was computed by applying the following weighted average assumptions to the Black-Scholes options pricing model: average volatility 48% and 57%; dividends yields of 0.0%; average risk-free rate of
7
return of 3.0% and 3.1%; and an average term of 3.1 years and 4.5 years for 2005 and 2004, respectively. No adjustment was made to the Black Scholes calculation to reflect that the options are not freely traded.

NOTE 6 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts that are recorded at fair value, with related fair value gains or losses recorded in income within the caption net other (income) expense. Generally, these contracts have maturities of six months or less. These contracts are entered into to offset the gains or losses on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. The Company does not enter into forward exchange contracts for trading purposes and the contracts are not designated as hedges.

NOTE 7 REVENUE RECOGNITION
Innovex makes electronic components (flexible circuits) based on customer specifications. The Companys revenue recognition policy is consistently applied regardless of sales channels utilized and product destination. The Company has an implied warranty that the products meet the customers specification. Credits are issued for customer returns. Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
For all sales, a binding purchase order is used as evidence of an arrangement. The Company also stores inventory in warehouses (JIT hubs third party owned warehouses) that are located close to the customers manufacturing facilities. Revenue is recognized on sales from JIT hubs upon the transfer of title and risk of loss which follows the customers acknowledgement of the receipt of the goods.
NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES
The Company records income taxes in accordance with the liability method of accounting. Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when the realization of a deferred tax asset becomes less likely than not to occur. The valuation allowance is analyzed periodically by the Company and may result in income tax expense different than statutory rates. Based on the valuation allowance analysis performed at June 30, 2005, the valuation allowance was increased by $10.5 million bringing the total allowance to $34.9 million.

NOTE 9 ASSET ACQUISITION
On December 31, 2004, the Company acquired the assets to manufacture adhesiveless, copper clad polyimide from Gould Electronics, Inc. The $3.5 million asset purchase price was accrued at December 31 and funded on January 4, 2005. Concurrent with this transaction, the Company also agreed to purchase Goulds Eastlake, Ohio manufacturing facility for $3.5 million. On July 8, 2005, the Company completed the purchase of this facility and simultaneously sold the building to a third party and entered into a lease for a portion of the facility. As of June 30, 2005, the Company accrued a $750,000 loss including transaction costs on the Eastlake Ohio facility transactions.
NOTE 10 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company holds 35% of the outstanding shares of Applied Kinetics Inc. (AKI). AKI is a technology development company which focuses on manufacturing processes related to disk drive components. AKI developed the unique manufacturing process technology utilized by the Companys FSA products. AKI has granted the Company a license to use this technology in return for a royalty to be paid on the revenue generated from the sale of these products. The Company accounts for its investment in AKI on the equity method. Included in other income are gains or (losses) recorded related to the Companys equity holding in AKI of $520,000 and $806,000 for the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2005, respectively and $71,000 for the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company received consulting fees from AKI of $-0- and $170,000 during the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2005, respectively and $-0- and $130,000 during the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 2004, respectively.
NOTE 11 NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, on December 16, 2004. This statement requires the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in a companys financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company will be required to adopt Statement 123(R) as of its first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005 or fiscal year 2006. The Company has not completed its evaluation of Statement 123(R).
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS 151). The provisions of this statement become effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. SFAS 151 amends the existing guidance on the recognition of inventory costs to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Existing rules indicate that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the valuation of inventory or operating results.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets. This statement addresses the fair value concepts contained in Opinion 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions which included certain exceptions to the concept that exchanges of similar productive assets should be recorded at the carrying value of the asset relinquished. SFAS 153 eliminates that exception and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that lack commercial substance. Only nonmonetary exchanges in which an entitys future cash flows are expected to significantly change as a result of the exchange will be considered to have commercial substance. SFAS 153 must be applied to nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys operating results.
The FASB issued two final FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) addressing the financial accounting for certain provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act). A provision of the Act allows taxpayers a deduction equal to the percentage of the lesser of the taxpayers qualified domestic production activities income or taxable income subject to a limitation of 50% of annual wages paid. FSP 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the
9
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, addresses whether the qualified domestic production activities should be treated as a special deduction or a rate reduction under SFAS No. 109. Additionally, another provision of the Act provides taxpayers a special, one-time 85% dividend received deduction for certain foreign earnings that are repatriated in either a companys first taxable year beginning on or after the date of the Acts enactment or the last taxable year beginning before such date. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys operating results.

Net Sales and Revenue Recognition
We manufacture flexible circuits and perform certain additional assembly and test functions on these flexible circuits based on customer specifications. We sell our products directly throughout the world, primarily in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim countries. We use non-exclusive sales representatives to augment our direct sales efforts. We recognize revenue from the sale of our products upon shipment or delivery of our product to our customers, depending on the customer agreement or shipping terms. We store some inventory in third party owned warehouses that are located close to customers manufacturing facilities. Sales from third party warehouses are recognized upon the transfer of title and risk of loss which follows the customers acknowledgment of the receipt of the goods.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of sales consists primarily of:
material costs for raw materials and semi-finished components used for assembly of our products;
labor costs directly related to manufacture, assembly and inspection of our products;
costs of general utilities, production supplies and chemicals consumed in the manufacturing processes;
costs related to the maintenance of our manufacturing equipment and facilities;
costs related to material and product handling and shipment;
depreciation costs related to facilities, machinery and equipment used to manufacture, assemble and inspect our products; and
salaries and overhead attributed to our supply chain, process engineering and manufacturing personnel.
10
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of:
salaries and related selling (commissions, travel, business development and program management), administrative, finance, human resources, regulatory, information services and executive personnel expenses;
other significant expenses related to external accounting, software maintenance and legal and regulatory fees; and
overhead attributed to our selling, general and administrative personnel.
Engineering expenses include costs associated with the design, development and testing of our products and processes. These costs consist primarily of:
salaries and related development personnel expenses;
overhead attributed to our development and test engineering personnel; and
prototyping costs related to the development of new products.
Restructuring charges are those costs primarily related to manufacturing facility closures, severance and product discontinuations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, we announced the planned closure of our Maple Plain, Minnesota facility and the plan to discontinue the support of the FSA attachment process once all current program qualifications have reached their end of life.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
Net Sales
Our net sales were $60.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 70%. This increase primarily reflects higher flex suspension assembly (FSA) and flat panel display (FPD) revenue more than offsetting lower revenue generated by actuator flex circuit (AFC) and stacked memory sales. A full quarter of revenue for the new FPD programs which ramped during the prior quarter helped drive FPD revenue to $11.6 million for the quarter. FSA revenue was $39 million reflecting continued strong demand for current generation disk drives coupled with strong demand for the new enterprise applications which ramped last quarter. Revenue growth was also accelerated by high pass-through material content associated with the assembly of components required for many of the new FPD and FSA products. We expect FPD revenue to remain strong for the balance of fiscal 2005 as FPD programs remain in high volume production. Also, while we expect FSA revenue to decrease when the disk drive industry transitions to its next generation of products in late fiscal 2005, our AFC revenue should increase reflecting the significantly higher level of next generation, AFC program qualifications.
FSA sales to the disk drive industry generated 65% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 67% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. FPD application net sales were 19% compared to 4%, sales of AFCs to the disk drive industry were 10%, compared to 17%, sales from stacked memory applications were 2% compared to 5%, network system application sales were 2% compared to 4% and sales from other industry applications were 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $920,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 490%. Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased to 9%, from 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The higher gross margin reflects improved operating efficiency and higher net sales increasing fixed cost leverage. We anticipate that gross margins for the remainder of fiscal 2005 will improve as additional operational efficiency improvements are expected.
Selling, General and Administrative and Royalty Expense to Equity Investee
Selling, general and administrative expenses including royalty expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $4.3 million, compared to $4.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of 13%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, down from 14% for the same period in the prior year. The dollar decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from the prior year primarily reflects lower payroll expenses as a result of the cost reduction measures taken in July 2004 partially offset by an increase in royalties related to higher FSA revenue. The decrease as a percent of net sales from the prior year reflects increased net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal 2005 are expected to remain low as a percentage of net sales due to the anticipated high level of sales.
Engineering
Engineering expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $1.9 million, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 20%. The increase in fiscal 2005 engineering expenses was primarily the result of hiring engineering personnel for the Thailand expansion prior to closing of the Maple Plain facility and an increase in engineering support personnel. As a percentage of net sales, engineering expenses were 3% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 4% for the same period in the prior year.
Restructuring
During fiscal 2004, we recorded asset impairment and restructuring charges of $13.1 million and $1.7 million related to the planned closure of the Maple Plain facility and the plan to discontinue support of the FSA attachment process. The impairment was triggered by the lower than expected financial performance of the Company during the quarter ending June 2004 resulting from the impact of the high fixed cost structure in place at that time on lower than
12
expected revenue and the decision of our largest FSA customer to shift a significant level of next generation business to a competing technology. The assets that were impaired included the Maple Plain facility and related equipment and equipment used in the FSA attachment process. The fair value of these assets was determined using quoted market prices where available, appraised values or estimated future cash flows where more definitive values were not available. The Maple Plain building was written down at June 30, 2004 to its expected net realizable value, $5,500,000. The building has been listed for sale since September 2004. The assets used to support the FSA attachment process were written down to the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the FSA attachment equipment over its expected remaining operating life which ranged from 12 to 24 months as of June 30, 2004. The assets are expected to have no net realizable value at the end of their expected remaining operating life.
In order to reduce our cost structure, we are closing our Maple Plain facility and consolidating its operations with our Lamphun, Thailand and Litchfield, Minnesota facilities. In addition, we plan to discontinue supporting the FSA attachment process in order to utilize its resources in other growth areas where we believe we have an advantage. The total restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $20 million. The $13.1 asset impairment charge included in the total had no cash flow impact. Excluding asset impairment charges, restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $7 million. The $7 million is expected to be comprised of $1.8 million for one-time termination benefits, $0.4 million for contract termination costs and $4.8 million for other moving and closing costs associated with the consolidation of the Maple Plain location with our other locations. The one-time termination benefits and moving and closing costs are expected to have a negative impact on cash flow as the costs are incurred. Restructuring charges of $1.2 million and $2.0 million were recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2005, respectively. The charges for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 were comprised of $915,000 for one-time termination benefits and $1,055,000 related to moving and closing costs. Charges of $3.7 million related to this restructuring have been recorded through June 30, 2005. The remaining expected charges of $3.3 million are expected to be incurred during the last quarter of fiscal 2005 and first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Capital expenditures of approximately $13 million were expected related to the restructuring primarily related to the expansion of the Lamphun Thailand facility. $12 million of the capital expenditures has been incurred through June 30, 2005 with the remaining $1 million expected to be spent in the fiscal 2005 fourth quarter.
As part of the June 2004 restructuring, engineering support of future FSA attachment development was discontinued. We are continuing to maintain engineering support of FSA attachment programs which were in production or programs for which we are qualified for future production. As the FSA programs reach their end of life, we will lower the level of engineering and production personnel supporting them. We will continue to develop flexible circuits to be used by other companies for their FSA development needs but we are not allocating any personnel or resources to develop or support future internal FSA attachment programs.
As of June 30, 2004, we estimated an annual operating expense reduction of approximately $8 million related to the restructuring charges. $4 million of this amount was expected to be realized by the end of the September 2004 quarter based on actions taken in June and July 2004. The remaining savings were expected to occur after the Maple Plain facility is closed and its operations transferred to our Lamphun Thailand and Litchfield Minnesota locations. Approximately $5.5 million of the operating cost reductions were projected to be compensation related and have a positive impact on cash flow upon realization. The remaining benefits were expected to be depreciation and contract termination related and have no impact on cash flow.
Through the quarter ending June 30, 2005, operating cost savings of approximately $1.0 million per quarter have been realized, primarily comprised of compensation savings of $650,000 per quarter or $2.6 million on an annual basis and depreciation and contract termination savings of $350,000 per quarter or $1.4 million on an annual basis.
The original restructuring plan called for the elimination of 168 positions comprised of 87 direct labor positions, 57 indirect labor production support positions and 24 administrative positions. As of June 30, 2005, 91 of these positions have been eliminated and the overall plan remains substantially unchanged.
13
Net Interest and Other Expense
Net interest expense was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $0.2 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is the result of higher levels of debt outstanding during fiscal 2005. Net other (income) expense was $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to ($0.2) million in the three months ended June 30, 2004. The change was a result of the third quarter of fiscal 2005 including a $750,000 accrued loss on building sale related to the July 8, 2005 sale of a facility in Eastlake, Ohio which we purchased from Gould Electronics under a previously disclosed purchase agreement.
Income Taxes
No net income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as an increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $1.5 million was recorded to offset the $1.5 million tax benefit generated during the quarter. This compares to the $2.4 million tax benefit recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2004. The $1.5 million increase in our deferred tax valuation allowance was a result of our evaluation of the carrying value of our deferred tax asset in light of the loss recorded for our third quarter. We have determined that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize the remaining tax benefit carried on our balance sheet in the future.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
Net Sales
Our net sales were $152.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $118.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 29%. This increase primarily reflects higher FSA and FPD revenue more than offsetting lower revenue generated by AFC and stacked memory sales. Fiscal 2005 revenue growth was accelerated by higher pass-through material content associated with the assembly of components required for many of the new FPD and FSA products. Stacked memory revenue was lower as one of our stacked memory customers transitioned to an alternative product.
FSA sales to the disk drive industry generated 65% of our net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 57% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. FPD application net sales were 15% compared to 6%, sales of AFCs to the disk drive industry were 11%, compared to 21%, sales from stacked memory applications were 4% compared to 9%, network system application sales were 3% compared to 4% and sales from other industry applications were 2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit was $10.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $15.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of 29%. Our gross margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 decreased to 7%, from 13% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The lower gross margin reflects numerous start-up issues and inefficiencies caused by the sharp increase in new products entering production during the fiscal 2005 second quarter and higher pass-through material content for those new programs. Gross margins were also impacted by high levels of fixed costs in place during the fiscal 2005 first quarter in anticipation of higher levels of AFC and FPD revenue which did not materialize until the second quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative and Royalty Expense to Equity Investee
Selling, general and administrative expenses including royalty expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 were $12.3 million, compared to $14.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of 13%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, down from 12% for the same period in the prior year. The dollar decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from the prior year primarily reflects lower payroll expenses as a result of the cost reduction measures taken in July 2004 partially offset by an increase in royalties related to higher FSA revenue. The decrease as a percent of net sales from the prior year also reflects increased net sales.
14
Engineering
Engineering expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 were $5.4 million, compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 9%. The increase in fiscal 2005 engineering expenses was primarily the result of hiring engineering personnel for the Thailand expansion prior to closing of the Maple Plain facility and an increase in engineering support personnel. As a percentage of net sales, engineering expenses were 3% of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 4% for the same period in the prior year.
Restructuring
During the second half of fiscal 2004, we recorded asset impairment and restructuring charges of $13.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to the planned closure of our Maple Plain facility and our plan to discontinue support of the FSA attachment process. The assets that were impaired included the Maple Plain facility and related equipment and equipment used in the FSA attachment process. The fair value of these assets was determined using quoted market prices where available, appraised values or estimated future cash flows where more definitive values were not available.
In order to reduce our cost structure, we are closing our Maple Plain facility and consolidating its operations with our Lamphun, Thailand and Litchfield, Minnesota facilities. In addition, we plan to discontinue supporting our FSA attachment process in order to utilize our resources in other growth areas where we believe we have an advantage. Excluding asset impairment charges, total restructuring charges are expected to be approximately $7 million when the restructuring is complete. The $7 million is expected to be comprised of $1.8 million for one-time termination benefits, $0.4 million for contract termination costs and $4.8 million for other moving and closing costs associated with the consolidation of the Maple Plain location with our other locations. Restructuring charges of $2.0 million were recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 related to this restructuring.
Net Interest and Other Expense
Net interest expense was $1.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and $0.5 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is the result of higher levels of debt outstanding during fiscal 2005. Net other income was $0.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $0.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The change was the result of larger foreign currency exchange gains and increased income from our 35% equity holding in Applied Kinetics, Inc in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 partially offset by the fiscal 2005 third quarter $750,000 accrued loss on building sale related to the July 8, 2005 sale of a facility in Eastlake, Ohio which we purchased from Gould Electronics under a previously disclosed purchase agreement.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $8.4 million, compared to income tax benefit of $2.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The fiscal 2005 tax expense reflects a $10.5 million increase in our deferred tax valuation allowance as a result our evaluation of the carrying value of our deferred tax asset in light of the operating losses generated in fiscal 2005. We have determined that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize the remaining tax benefit carried on our balance sheet in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, estimates are evaluated based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We apply the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Allowance for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. Inventories, which are composed of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined by the
15
first-in, first-out method. On a periodic basis, we analyze the level of inventory on hand, our cost in relation to market value and estimated customer requirements to determine whether write-downs for excess or obsolete inventory are required. Actual customer requirements in any future periods are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates. If actual or expected requirements were significantly greater or lower than the established reserves, a reduction or increase to the obsolescence allowance would be recorded in the period in which such a determination was made.
Goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises. If events or circumstances change, including reductions in anticipated cash flows generated by operations, goodwill could become impaired and result in a charge to earnings.
Deferred Taxes. We account for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established when the realization of any deferred taxes becomes less likely than not to occur. We analyze the valuation allowance periodically which may result in income tax expense being different than statutory rates.
Revenue Recognition. We make electronic components (flexible circuits) based on customer specifications. Our revenue recognition policy is consistently applied regardless of sales channels utilized and product destination. We have an implied warranty that the products meet our customers specification. Credits are issued for customer returns. In recognizing revenue in any period, we apply the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. For all sales, a binding purchase order is used as evidence of an arrangement. We recognize revenue from the sale of our products upon shipment or delivery of our products to our customers, depending upon the customer agreement or shipping terms. We also store inventory in warehouses (JIT hubs third party owned warehouses) that are located close to our customers manufacturing facilities. Revenue is recognized on sales from JIT hubs upon the transfer of title and risk of loss which follows our customers acknowledgement of the receipt of the goods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through cash from operating activities, sales of equity securities, bank credit facilities and employee stock option exercises. Cash and equivalents were $9.5 million at June 30, 2005 and $14.4 million at September 30, 2004.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, net cash used in operating activities of $6.1 million resulted from the net loss, and increases in accounts receivable and inventories more than offsetting the accounts payable increases and non-cash charges for depreciation and the deferred tax valuation allowance increase. Accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable increased as a result of increases in sales and manufacturing activity levels.
Net cash used in investing activities was $23.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005, compared to $8.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. In fiscal 2005, net cash used in investing activities was attributed to the purchase of equipment to manufacture copper clad polyimide, spending related to the expansion of our Thailand facility and the purchase of equipment required to meet our expected increase in production of flexible circuits for FPD applications. Fiscal 2004 net cash used in investing activities was attributed to the purchase of selected equipment to expand capacity in our bottleneck processes.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $24.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $5.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. During fiscal 2005, net cash provided by financing activities was the result of the $8.9 million borrowed under our short-term Thailand credit facilities, $7.1 borrowed under our new US Federal Credit Union credit facility and a $13.2 million draw down under our long term Thailand credit facilities partially offset by scheduled debt payments on our existing Thailand debt facilities and US based capital leases. Fiscal 2004 net cash provided by financing activities was the result of the $9.9 million drawdown under our expanded Thailand credit facility partially offset by scheduled debt payments on our Thailand debt facilities and U.S. based capital leases.
16
In June 2004, we entered into a new credit facility with Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited and The Industrial Finance Corporation of Thailand which expanded our existing credit facility with these banks. The long-term facilities were increased by 1,060 million baht, the packing credit was increased by 270 million baht and the short-term working capital facility was increased by 20 million baht. The facility is now comprised of a 660 million baht long-term facility, a 400 million baht long-term facility, a 590 million baht long-term facility, a 220 million baht long-term facility, packing credit facilities totaling 1,070 million baht, short-term working capital facilities totaling 90 million baht and a 10 million baht overdraft facility. The Thailand facilities are secured by certain receivables, inventory and assets held by us in Thailand. As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $25.3 million outstanding under our long-term Thailand credit facilities and $8.9 million outstanding under our short-term Thailand credit facilities. Total unused availability under our Thailand credit facilities as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $23 million, of which $20 million was related to the packing credit and working capital facilities and $3 million was available under the long-term facilities to fund capital equipment expansions in Thailand. As of June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with covenants under our Thailand credit facilities.
In January 2005, we entered into a financing agreement with US Federal Credit Union under which we borrowed $4.0 million. An additional $3.1million was borrowed under that agreement on April 15, 2005. As of June 30, 2005, $7.0 million was outstanding under our US Federal credit facility. The note is due February 1, 2010 with principal amounts under the arrangement bearing interest at a rate of 7% per annum. Payments under the underlying note are calculated using a 25 year amortization with the remaining principal amount due at maturity. The note is secured by our Litchfield and Maple Plain facilities.
We believe that with the existing Thailand credit facilities, cash generated from operations and the proceeds from the new U.S. based credit facility, we will have adequate funds to support projected working capital and capital expenditures for the next twenty-four months. We are considering alternatives for generating additional working capital and long-term financing and will continue to pursue financing opportunities to better leverage our assets. We also filed an S-3 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2005 under which we may offer up to an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of our common stock in one or more offerings from time to time. Our financing needs and the financing alternatives available to us are subject to change depending on, among other things, general economic and market conditions, changes in industry buying patterns, customer acceptance of our AFC, stacked memory flex and FPD flex products and cash flow from operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, on December 16, 2004. This statement requires the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in our financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We will be required to adopt Statement 123(R) as of our first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005 or fiscal year 2006. We have not completed our evaluation of Statement 123(R).
17
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs (SFAS 151). The provisions of this statement become effective for us in fiscal 2006. SFAS 151 amends the existing guidance on the recognition of inventory costs to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Existing rules indicate that under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges. SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our valuation of inventory or operating results.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets. This statement addresses the fair value concepts contained in Opinion 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions which included certain exceptions to the concept that exchanges of similar productive assets should be recorded at the carrying value of the asset relinquished. SFAS 153 eliminates that exception and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that lack commercial substance. Only nonmonetary exchanges in which an entitys future cash flows are expected to significantly change as a result of the exchange will be considered to have commercial substance. SFAS 153 must be applied to nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on our operating results.
The FASB issued two final FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) addressing the financial accounting for certain provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Act). A provision of the Act allows taxpayers a deduction equal to the percentage of the lesser of the taxpayers qualified domestic production activities income or taxable income subject to a limitation of 50% of annual wages paid. FSP 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, addresses whether the qualified domestic production activities should be treated as a special deduction or a rate reduction under SFAS No. 109. Additionally, another provision of the Act provides taxpayers a special, one-time 85% dividend received deduction for certain foreign earnings that are repatriated in either a companys first taxable year beginning on or after the date of the Acts enactment or the last taxable year beginning before such date. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys operating results.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, elsewhere in this report and in future filings by the Company with the SEC, except for the historical information contained herein and therein, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include: the increased utilization by our largest customer of alternative interconnect technologies that compete with our FSA product, any interruption in the operations of the Companys single source suppliers or any failure of any of the Companys single source suppliers to timely deliver an adequate supply of components, the risk related to the closing of our Maple Plain facility and its consolidation with our other facilities, the timely availability and acceptance of new products, including FPD and AFC products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, changes in manufacturing efficiencies and other risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks described under the heading Risks Related to Our Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004. In addition, a significant portion of the our revenue is generated from the disk drive, flat panel display, stacked memory substrate, consumer electronics and data storage industries and the global economic softness has had and may have in the future, an adverse impact on our operations. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
PART 1: ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
18
Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. While we transact business primarily in U.S. dollars, a portion of our sales and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in the relation of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar will affect our cost of sales and operating margins and could result in exchange gains or losses. To reduce the impact of certain foreign currency fluctuations, we enter into short-term forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the regular course of business to manage our risk exposure, not as speculative instruments. Typically, these contracts have maturities of 6 months or less. The forward exchange contracts generally require us to exchange Thailand baht for U.S. dollars or U.S. dollars for Thailand baht at maturity, at rates agreed to at inception of the contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedges, therefore, the gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in income.
We periodically review the outlook for expected currency exchange rate movements as well as the policy on desired future foreign currency cash flow positions (long, short or balanced) for those currencies in which we have significant activity. Expected future cash flow positions and strategies are continuously monitored. At June 30, 2005, we had open forward exchange contracts to buy Thailand baht maturing July 12, 2005; November 10, 2005; November 21, 2005 and November 28, 2005 with notional amounts of 150 million baht, 400 million baht, 350 million baht and 200 million baht. The total open contracts for 1,100 million baht equates to approximately $26.6 million. No assurance can be given that our strategies will prevent future currency fluctuations from adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to interest rate risk as a large portion of our interest-bearing debt is subject to interest rates which fluctuate with changes in market interest rates or are periodically reset based on market interest rates. A large change in market interest rates could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
PART 1: ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys Chief Executive Officer, William P. Murnane, and Chief Financial Officer, Thomas Paulson, have evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this review, they have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Responses to Items 2 through 5 are omitted since these items are either inapplicable or the response thereto would be negative.
On June 26, 2005, the Company sued the five other shareholders of AKI (the Inside Shareholders) in the Minnesota State District Court, First Judicial District. The Company alleges that the Inside Shareholders breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and engaged in illegal conduct or action unfairly prejudicial toward the Company in connection with AKIs distribution of its earnings to the Insider Shareholders as bonuses. The Company is seeking damages, an accounting and injunctive relief, which would require the Inside Shareholders to pay the Company its equitable share of funds paid to the Inside Shareholders, return to AKI sums paid as bonuses, and seeks to prevent further payments of this nature and liquidate AKI and/or require purchase of the Companys equity interest in AKI.
On July 19, 2005, Applied Kinetics, Inc. (AKI) sued Innovex, Inc., Innovex Precision Components, Inc., William Murnane and Thomas Paulson in the Minnesota State District Court, Fourth Judicial District. Innovex Precision Components, Inc. (IPC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovex, Inc. Messrs. Murnane and Paulson
19
are officers of the Company and Mr. Murnane is also a director of the Company. The Company owns 35% of the outstanding common stock of AKI. Messrs. Murnane and Paulson are members of the Board of Directors of AKI. AKI is a supplier of flexible circuit suspension assembly processes and equipment to the Company.
The suit by AKI seeks damages for alleged breach by IPC of a License and Development Agreement between IPC and AKI relating to an alleged failure to pay royalties and relating to an alleged failure to enforce IPCs supply agreement with Magnecomp International Limited for which AKI claims lost revenues; alleged breach of a purchase agreement between AKI and the Company relating to a machine that performs soldering and alleged breach by the Company and Messrs Murnane and Paulson of their fiduciary duties as a shareholder and members of the AKI Board of Directors, respectively. Each of the Company, IPC and Messrs Murnane and Paulson intends to vigorously defend against the suit by AKI and believes that AKIs claims lack merit.
The following exhibits are included herein:
31.1 Certification of Chief Executive Officer pursuant Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act.
31.2 Certification of Chief Financial Officer pursuant Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act.
