See notes to consolidated financial statements. -6- ODETICS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1 - In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated - ------ financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1996 and the consolidated results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 and its cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the six-month period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year. Note 2 - Income tax expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended - ------ September 30, 1995 and 1996 have been provided at the estimated annualized effective tax rates based on the estimated income tax liability or asset and change in deferred taxes for their respective fiscal years. Deferred taxes result primarily from temporary differences in the reporting of income for financial statement and income tax purposes. These differences relate principally to the use of accelerated cost recovery depreciation methods for tax purposes, capitalization of interest and taxes for tax purposes, capitalization of computer software costs for financial statement purposes, deferred compensation, other payroll accruals, and reserves for inventory and accounts receivable for financial statement purposes and general business tax credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes.

Note 4 - In November 1994 and February 1995, The Company and E-Systems, Inc. - ------ (E-Systems), respectively filed legal actions related to E-Systems' cancellation of purchase orders for ATL Products' DataLibrary and DataTower products. In May 1996, the parties entered into a settlement agreement under which, among other things, E-Systems agreed to pay the Company $6,160,000, all claims asserted by the parties were released and the litigation dismissed. In addition, the parties agreed to an equitable disposition of disputed inventory and entered into a five year service agreement for Odetics to service units that had been sold to E-Systems at agreed upon prices. The Company does not expect to record any material gain or loss based on the terms of the settlement agreement. 7 ODETICS, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Net sales and contract revenues for Odetics, Inc. (the "Company") in the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 increased approximately $9,108,000 or 37.2% compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The components of this overall increase consisted of an increase in net sales (commercial products) of approximately $9,138,000, or 42.1% and a slight decrease in contract revenues (government products) of approximately $30,000. Net sales and contract revenues for the six-month period of fiscal year 1997 increased approximately $18,474,000, or 40.2%, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the six months ended September 30, 1996 net sales were up 44.7%, and contract revenues were up 3.9%. The growth in net sales for the second quarter and six-month period was primarily due to an increase in sales in the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ATL Products, Inc. ("ATL"). ATL's sales growth resulted from the introduction of new products and expansion of sales channels for its product offerings. The Company's Communication Division also showed strong growth in sales in its telecommunication products with increased sales of its synchronization products for cellular telephone systems and telecommunication interface products. The Company's Broadcast Division experienced a slight decrease in revenues for the second quarter and six- month period while Gyyr sales approximately were flat compared to the six months ended September 30, 1995. Cost of sales and contract revenues as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues ("cost of sales percentage") decreased to 64.3% in the second quarter ended September 30, 1996 from 65.2% during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The cost of sales percentage for the six-month period of fiscal 1997 decreased to 63.8% from 64.2% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease primarily resulted from improved gross margins at ATL due to improved absorption of fixed manufacturing costs on higher sales volume and a sales mix that carried overall higher gross profit margins. The cost of sales percentage also declined due to a decrease in the cost of contract revenues as a result of a continued decline in the government manufacturing cost base. Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately $1,117,000 in the second quarter ended September 30, 1996, although as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues, SG&A declined to 20.1% compared to 23.0% in the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses increased $2,867,000 in the six months ended September 30, 1996, although as a percentage of net sales and contract revenues, SG&A declined to 21.1% for the six-month period compared to 23.4% for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. SG&A expenses primarily increased due to increased selling expenses to support the increased commercial product sales primarily in the areas of commissions, advertising, and labor and related benefits. Research and development (R&D) expenses increased approximately $1,365,000 to 9.0% of net sales and contract revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997 compared to 6.8% for the second quarter of fiscal year 1996. R&D expenses for the first six-months of fiscal 1997 increased approximately $1,923,000 to 8.3% of net sales and contract revenues compared to 7.4% for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The increased R&D expenses reflect prototype material, 8 consulting, and labor and related benefits accompanying increased new product development activities. Interest expense declined approximately $159,000 and $346,000 for the second quarter and six-month periods of fiscal 1997, respectively, compared to the same periods for the prior fiscal year. These decreases were primarily due to overall lower average line of credit borrowings. The effective income tax rate was 39% for the six-month period of fiscal 1997 compared to a 38% tax rate for the same period of the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate projected for fiscal 1997 is due to a reduction in the effect of general business tax credits on total income tax expense. 9 Liquidity and Sources of Capital The Company reported net income of $2,095,000 during the first six-months of fiscal 1997 and cash flow from operating activities of $3,187,000. Cash flow from operating activities included the receipt of net proceeds from the settlement of the litigation with E-Systems (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), which was partially offset by an increase in inventories to support increased commercial product sales, especially in the Company's ATL Products subsidiary. The Company has a $17,000,000 bank line of credit providing for borrowings generally at or below the bank's prime rate. Borrowings are available for general working capital purposes, and at September 30, 1996, $7,900,000 was available for borrowing under the line. The Company anticipates that net cash flow from operating activities in conjunction with its bank credit arrangements will be sufficient to execute its operating plans and meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 1996. 10 ODETICS, INC. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4.
