Revenue in the second quarter 2004 amounted to $13.3 million, compared to $12.6 million in the corresponding quarter a year earlier. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $28.8 million, compared to $23.7 million during the respective period in 2003. The Company's financial results in 2004 include the Voice Technology Group's operations (Mapletree Networks(R)) from the date of acquisition on January 23, 2004. GAAP Earnings Basis Net income for the second quarter 2004 amounted to $1.0 million, or $.08 per diluted share based on 13.4 million shares outstanding. Net income for the second quarter 2003 amounted to $.7 million, or $.06 per diluted share, based on 12.4 million shares outstanding. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $2.6 million, or $.19 per diluted share based on 13.5 million shares outstanding. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income amounted to $1.0 million, or $.08 per diluted share based upon 12.3 million shares outstanding. Non-GAAP Information Management believes that the Company's results excluding non-recurring expense provide better comparability of its operations because non-recurring expenses result from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency, amounts and cause. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to $2.8 million, or $.21 per diluted share excluding non-recurring expense, based on 13.5 million shares outstanding. During the first quarter 2004, the Company completed the purchase of Mapletree Networks and recorded in-process research and development costs associated with this acquisition in the amount of $.2 million (after-tax), or $.02 per diluted share. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income amounted to $1.0 million, or $.08 per diluted share based upon 12.3 million shares outstanding. Cash amounted to $21.6 million and $29.6 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and the Company had no long-term debt at either date. The following contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company met its earnings per share guidance for the second quarter by maintaining tight control over expenses. Revenue in the second quarter was less than forecasted for two reasons: First, the Company's largest customer over the past fifteen months unexpectedly reduced its second quarter requirement for product to $.6 million, from $3.3 million in the first quarter. Second, revenue from the Voice Technology Group, acquired in January 2004, was also less than expected, amounting to $.4 million in the second quarter 2004, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter. Had revenue from both of these sources met forecasted expectations, the Company's revenue for the second quarter would have surpassed the Company's guidance for the quarter. "We are disappointed with the lower than anticipated revenue in the second quarter," said Donald Turrell, president and chief executive officer. "However, it is important to realize that the largest part of our business continues to show considerable revenue growth and momentum. Furthermore, we are seeing increasing interest in our integrated platform products and positive feedback from the market regarding the addition of the Voice Technology products into our platform product portfolio." During the quarter, the Company was engaged with customers and prospective customers in a growing number of field trials for Performance Technologies' platforms and products. In addition, "design win" metrics for the quarter included four successful integrated platform design wins. Platform "design wins" are an especially important indicator of continuing progress in the Company's strategy to fuel growth by transitioning from being an embedded components supplier, to an integrated platform supplier. During the second quarter, there were six new product introductions, including extensions to the Company's popular IPnexus(TM) Advanced Managed Platform line, its portfolio of Voice Technology products and its new Mini-STP as part of its Signaling Systems product family. To complement these introductions, there were announcements of seven recent customer design wins which covered the entire range of the Company's products. This customer activity demonstrates continued acceptance of the Company's product technology and validation of its overall integrated platform strategy. Guidance The Company's integrated platforms, components and software solutions are incorporated into current and next-generation embedded systems infrastructure. Traditionally, design wins have been an important metric for management to judge the Company's product acceptance in its marketplace. Design wins, if implemented, reach production volumes at varying rates, generally beginning twelve to eighteen months after the design win occurs. A variety of risks such as schedule delays, cancellations, changes in customer markets and economic conditions can adversely affect a design win before production is reached, or during deployment. In addition, during weak economic periods, the visibility for customers' orders is limited which frequently causes delays in the placement of orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of the Company's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Unfortunately, forward-looking visibility on customer orders continues to be very limited. During the second quarter 2004, the Company realized four design wins (as noted above) for its IPnexus, SEGway(TM)and UniPorte Architecture product families. At the current time, it appears that the Company's largest customer (noted earlier) will not be ordering meaningful volumes of product until the pending merger of one of its customers is resolved. Therefore, the Company is not forecasting additional product shipments to this customer in the third quarter. The newly acquired Voice Technology Group (VTG) generated second quarter revenue of $.4 million, was not profitable on an operating basis, and is now not forecasted to be profitable for 2004. As a result, management believes the contingent earn out component of the Mapletree Networks purchase agreement will not be paid. During the third quarter, the Company will begin to integrate VTG into the Company's operations. Based upon the current business mix, the current backlog and review of sales forecasts, management expects revenue to be in the range of $13.5 million to $14.5 million in the third quarter 2004. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 49.5% to 51.0% and diluted earnings per share in the third quarter is expected to be $.06 to $.09. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter is expected to be 31%.
