See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 6 7 FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997 NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS FARO Technologies Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") develops, manufactures, markets and supports portable, software-driven, 3-D measurement systems that are used in a broad range of manufacturing and industrial applications. The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, FARO Worldwide, Inc. and FARO France, s.a.s., which distribute the Company's 3-D measurement equipment throughout Europe through three primary offices located in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. FARO France, s.a.s., commenced operations in July 1996. NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnote disclosure required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been included. The consolidated results of operations for the three and NINE months ended SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, included in the Company's PROSPECTUS DATED SEPTEMBER 17, 1997. In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to all entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. This statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS and fully diluted EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS, respectively. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Similar to fully diluted EPS, diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. This statement is effective for the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. The proforma effect of applying SFAS No. 128 is as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- ------------- 1996 1997 1996 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Basic income per common share $ .07 $ .11 $ .17 $ .29 Diluted income per common share and common equivalent share $ .07 $ .11 $ .16 $ .28

8 9 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Prospectus dated September 17, 1997. Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's current expectations include market acceptance of the Company's products, which consist of two closely interdependent products, the amount and timing of expenses associated with the development and marketing of new products, the Company's ability to protect and continue to develop its proprietary technology in the face of competition and technological change, risks associated with the Company's international operations, general economic conditions and the other risks set forth in the Company's Prospectus dated September 17, 1997. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 Sales. Sales increased $1.8 million, or 44.7% from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $5.9 million for three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to increased unit sales resulting from additional sales personnel and expanded promotional efforts, especially in the international markets. International sales increased $1.2 million or 100% from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Gross profit. Gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 51.7% from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Gross margin increased from 57.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 59.7% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This margin increase was attributable primarily to a reduction in product costs as a result of technological improvements, purchasing economies and production efficiencies. Selling expenses. Selling expenses increased $491,000, or 52.2%, from $941,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was a result of the Company's expansion of sales and marketing staff in the United States and Europe. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 23.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 24.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $115,000, or 58.8%, from $195,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $310,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This increase resulted primarily from the hiring of additional administrative personnel. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 4.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased $135,000, or 70.3%, from $192,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $327,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was a result of increased personnel cost attributable to new product development. Other Income. Other income increased $21,000, from $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase resulted from a foreign exchange gain ($30,000), partially offset by a loss on disposal of obsolete fixed assets ($10,000). Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $10,000, or 18.3% from $53,600 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $43,800 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This reduction was attributable to the refinancing of the Company's indebtedness, resulting in a reduced principal balance and lower interest rate for the first 10 weeks of the quarter, and a further reduction in debt in the last 2 weeks of the quarter from use of proceeds from the Company's Initial Public Offering. 9 10 Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $173,000, or 43.3%, from $400,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $573,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 44.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 40.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Net Income. Net income increased $325,000, or 64.5%, from $504,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $829,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 Sales. Sales increased $5.7 million, or 53.9% from $10.5 million for the first nine months of 1996 to $16.2 million for the first nine months of 1997. The increase was primarily the result of increased unit sales due to an expanded sales effort that included the addition of sales personnel at existing offices, the opening of sales offices, expanded promotional efforts, and the addition of new product features. Gross profit. Gross profit increased $3.6 million, or 59.9%, from $6.0 million for the first nine months of 1996 to $9.6 million for the first nine months of 1997. Gross margin increased from 57.3% for the first nine months of 1996 to 59.5% for the first nine months of 1997. This margin increase was attributable to a reduction in product costs as a result of technological improvements, purchasing economies and production efficiencies, partially offset by a decrease in average unit prices. Selling expenses. Selling expenses increased $1.4 million, or 52.4%, from $2.6 million for the first nine months of 1996 to $4.0 million for the first nine months of 1997. This increase was a result of the Company's expansion of sales and marketing staff in the United States and Europe, and expanded promotional efforts. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales decreased slightly from 24.6% for the first nine months of 1996 to 24.4% for the first nine months of 1997. General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $372,000 or 68.2% from $545,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $917,000 for the first nine months of 1997. This increase resulted primarily from the hiring of additional administrative personnel, increases in professional and legal expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 5.2% for the first nine months of 1996 to 5.6% for the first nine months of 1997. Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased $293,000, or 68.5%, from $428,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $722,000 for the first nine months of 1997. This increase was a result of increased personnel cost attributable to new product development. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 4.1% for the first nine months of 1996 to 4.4% for the first nine months of 1997 Employee stock options expenses. Employee stock options expenses increased $348,000 from $17,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $365,000 for the first nine months of 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the grant of 52,733 options in May 1997, which was made at an exercise price below the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant. Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $67,000, or 37.9%, from $176,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $110,000 for the first nine months of 1997. This reduction was primarily attributable to the refinancing of the Company's indebtedness, resulting in a reduced principal and lower interest rate. Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $469,000, or 49.9%, from $941,000 for the first nine months of 1996 to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 1997. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 44.2% in the first nine months of 1996 and 40.3% in the first nine months of 1997. Net Income. Net income increased $899,000, or 75.8%, from $1.2 million for the first nine months of 1996 to $2.1 million for the first nine months of 1997. 10 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In September 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of stock which provided net cash after offering expenses, of $31.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net cash used by operating activities was $851,000 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.1 million for the same period of 1996. Net cash in this period decreased primarily due to increases in accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities was $509,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $337,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net cash used in investing activities increased for the first nine months of 1997 primarily due to increased patent costs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $31.7 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $600,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Net cash provided by financing activities increased due to the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in September 1997. The Company invests excess cash balances in short-term investment grade securities, such as money market investments, obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, and obligations of state and local government agencies. The Company has a loan agreement in the form of a term note and a line of credit that matures in September 1999. The Company had available borrowings under the line of credit in the amount of $430,000 at September 30, 1997. Advances outstanding under the loan bear interest at the 30-day commercial paper rate plus 2.7% per annum (8.26% at September 30, 1997). Principal payments of $667,000 and $229,000 will be due in 1998, and 1999, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under this loan agreement at September 30, 1997 were approximately $896,000. Management intends to repay the outstanding balance during the fourth quarter of 1997. The loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants, including the maintenance of certain amounts of working capital and tangible net worth and limits on loans to related parties. In April 1997, the Company also obtained a one-year secured $1.0 million line of credit from the same lender which bears interest at the 30-day commercial paper rate plus 2.65% per annum (8.21% at September 30, 1997). There were no outstanding borrowings under this loan agreement at September 30, 1997. The Company's principal commitments at September 30, 1997 were leases on its headquarters and regional offices, and there were no material commitments for capital expenditures at that date. The Company believes that its cash, investments, cash flows from operations and funds available from its credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure needs at least through 1998. 11 12 PART II.
