Part I
Item 1. Business
Transmation, Inc. (us or we), an Ohio corporation organized in 1964, primarily distributes, sells and services instrumentation. The principal instruments that we sell and service are used to calibrate, measure and test many physical parameters in industry and science.
The principal market for the products and services we sell is in the process industry. Within that market, we primarily target the petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing industries and secondarily target the pulp and paper, utility, gas pipeline and primary metals, pharmaceutical, fiber optics and telecommunications industries.
The products that we sell are produced by approximately 250 manufacturers. These products range in price from $100 to more than $20,000 for large calibration test systems. The services that we provide range in price from $50 for a product certification to more than $100,000 for large on-site service projects.
We believe that we are uniquely positioned in our industry because of the array of products and services that we offer. In many cases, our customers can fulfill a significant portion of their product and service requirements just from us. By selling both products and services to customers, we also spread our sales and administrative costs over both activities and can better penetrate customer accounts to achieve enhanced sales compared to our competitors who do not offer both product and service solutions.
Product Sales.
Our product sales are generated by our Transcat Products Operation (Transcat), our MetersandInstruments.com subsidiary and Transmation (Canada), Inc., our Canadian subsidiary.
Transcat. We sell the majority of our test, measurement and calibration equipment and services through Transcat. Transcat sells these products and services through its catalog, by direct mailings, over the Internet and directly through its sales force. Transcat distributes a catalog, which is now approximately 800 pages in length, to existing and prospective customers in the United States and Canada. Transcat also makes periodic mailings to existing and prospective customers to develop additional sales and further leads for future mailings.
In fiscal 1999, we introduced the Transcat.com website. This site permits Transcats customers to purchase many of the products contained in the Transcat catalog on-line and utilize this site as a technical resource.
In addition to catalog and Internet sales, Transcat also makes direct sales of equipment and services. Transcat has over 25 direct sales people and sales managers in the United States and Canada and maintains one regional sales manager in China. We also have arrangements with 76 sales representative and distributor organizations, each employing one or more sales engineers, located in other areas of concentrated or potential demand in the United States, Canada, the Far East, Central and South America, Australia, the Middle East and Europe. Our sales representatives and distributors either promote products on a commission basis or purchase them from us at a discount and resell such products to end users.
MetersandInstruments.com. In fiscal 2000, we incorporated MetersandInstruments.com to target on-line sales to customers who are traditionally well informed in their purchasing practices. In addition to its on-line catalog, MetersandInstruments.com makes periodic
1
conventional and electronic mailings to existing and prospective customers. It also advertises extensively in appropriate trade publications to promote site awareness among customers and prospective customers.
Transmation (Canada). We operate a subsidiary in Canada that sells both products and services to Canadian process, life sciences and telecommunication customer segments. To support that effort, Transcat operates two CalLab Facilities (See Services below) and has four product sales representatives.
Services.
In addition to selling instruments, we also service instruments through our Transcat CalLab operations. Transcat CalLab provides periodic calibration and repair services for our customers instrumentation. Thirteen of our CalLab facilities are Guide 17025 certified and all of these facilities are ISO 9002 registered. On March 31, 2002, there were Transcat CalLab facilities in 15 locations in the United States and Canada.
Divestitures; Termination of Business Venture.
In 2001 and early 2002, we refocused our business away from manufacturing products and on to the sale, distribution and service of products. To accomplish this, we divested or terminated the following business segments:
Transmation Products Group. On December 26, 2001, we sold the Transmation Products Group (TPG), which produced instruments used to calibrate, measure and test physical parameters, to Fluke Electronics Corp. (Fluke). The purchase price was $11.0 million, which includes a $0.5 million prepayment for various leases and make-ready, move expenses. Any of the $0.5 million prepayment that is unused will be used to pay down our term loan. In connection with this transaction, we entered into a distribution agreement with Fluke to be the exclusive world-wide distributor of TPG products for the next five years. Under the distribution agreement, we also agreed to purchase a significant amount of inventory from Fluke over the next five years. As a result of this distribution relationship, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, Topic 5E, precludes us from recognizing the gain of $1.5 million on this transaction. Accordingly, the gain will remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet until the purchase commitments under the distribution agreement are either substantially modified or expire.
Measurements and Controls Division. On January 18, 2002, we sold our Measurements and Controls division (MAC), which provided value-added meter modification, test and measurement equipment distribution and related service and repair, to Hughes Corporation (Hughes). The purchase price was $2.9 million, which includes approximately $0.2 million in prepayments for various services we will provide to Hughes. MAC was sold at a loss of $4.5 million, and the loss on the sale of MAC was reflected in our third quarter Consolidated Statement of Income.
2
For fiscal year 2002 and 2001, the following provides the combined sales and gross profit of the divested MAC and TPG business units that are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

(in thousands) | ||||||||
Sales |
$ | 6,298 | $ | 9,148 | ||||
Gross Profit |
$ | 1,872 | $ | 2,717 |
Dissolution of Puerto Rican Joint Venture. In 2001, we entered into a joint venture to perform calibration services in Puerto Rico. By mutual agreement, we terminated that joint venture because the goals for increased calibration services were not met. Our partner in this venture, who was our products agent, will continue as our exclusive products agent in the Puerto Rican market.
General.
Our future performance will depend substantially on our ability to manage our business operations, respond to competitive developments, further develop markets for our services and penetrate markets for product distribution, and to anticipate future customer needs and provide solutions for customers in a timely, cost-effective manner.
Our executive offices are located at 10 Vantage Point Drive, Rochester, New York 14624. Our telephone number is (585) 352-7777.
The following information is set forth as it is deemed material to an understanding of our business:
Competition.
The market in which we sell products and related services is highly competitive. Competition for sales in distribution and service is quite fragmented and ranges from large, well financed national distributors to small local distribution organizations and service providers, as well as the manufacturers of products themselves. We compete on the basis of customer service and support, service quality and turn around, inventory availability and price. To maintain our competitive position with respect to such products and services, we must continually demonstrate to our customers our commitment to achieving the highest level of performance possible for a distributor and compete effectively in the areas described above.
Significant Customers.
We made no sales to any customer or controlled group which amounted to 10% or more of our consolidated net sales from 2000 to 2002. We are not dependent on a single customer or a few customers. The loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, balance sheet or results of operations.
3
Backlog.
At the close of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, we had a firm order backlog of approximately $1.3 million as compared to $2.5 million in 2001 and $3.1 million in 2000. We anticipate that 100% of our backlog existing on March 31, 2002 will be filled by shipments in fiscal year 2003. Our sales cycle from order to delivery is one day to 12 weeks on all product categories. Backlog has generally not been a significant factor in our business.
Seasonality.
We believe that our line of business has certain historical seasonal factors. The second quarter is generally weaker and the fourth quarter historically stronger due to typical industrial operating cycles.
Inventories.
Each product that we sell is generally available from only one source (i.e. the manufacturer). Occasionally, we find product substitutions from other sources.
Patents/Trademarks.
Our success and ability to compete depends, in part, upon protecting our intellectual property rights. We cannot assure that the measures taken by us will be adequate to deter misappropriation of our intellectual property or that our intellectual property rights can be successfully enforced or defended if challenged. In connection with the recent sale of TPG and MAC, we sold all of our patents and several trademarks to Fluke Electronics and Hughes Corporation, including the rights to the name TRANSMATION, which we sold to, and currently license from, Fluke Electronics. After these divestitures, our intellectual property consists of only the following registered trademarks in the United States: TRANSCAT, QUICKCAL, CALXPRESS, SHOP ACCESS, AUTO-CHECK, CAL-PLUS, CALTRAK, PNEU-CAL, PNEU-CALII, QUICK-CHECK, QUIK-PAK, SNAP PACK, T (DESIGN), TECHCHEK, TOOL BOX TOOLS.
Because we sold our rights in the name Transmation to Fluke Electronics and under the terms of our agreements with Fluke, during fiscal year 2003 we will change our name. It is the opinion of management that this change in the corporate name will have no material adverse effect on us. At this time, we expect to change our name to Transcat.
Research and Development.
As a result of the sale of TPG, we no longer manufacture products and therefore no longer have any research and development expense. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and up to the date of the TPG divestiture, we spent approximately $0.9 million on research and development as compared with approximate expenditures of $1.2 million in 2001 and $1.5 million in 2000.
4
Employees.
On March 31, 2002, we employed 247 persons, including one part time employee. We employed 345 persons, including seven part time employees, on March 31, 2001 and 351 persons, including three part time employees, on March 31, 2000. The decrease in the number of our employees from March 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002 is due to the divestitures of MAC and TPG during that fiscal year and a restructuring announced and implemented in March 2002, which impacted 22 employees. None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Environmental Matters.
We do not believe that compliance with federal, state or local provisions relating to the protection of the environment have any material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Information as to Classes of Similar Products.
We sell and service predominately one type of product, that being test, measurement and calibration products.
Information Regarding Export Sales.
Approximately 14.3% of our sales in fiscal year 2002 resulted from sales in foreign countries. This compares with approximately 14.0% of sales in 2001 and 14.9% of sales in 2000. Sales in foreign countries generate relatively the same profit margins as domestic sales. Our percentage of foreign sales is impacted by the strength of the United States Dollar in relation to other currencies. When the United States Dollar is stronger than foreign currencies, we have historically had weaker foreign sales. Specifically, we believe that the stronger United States Dollar contributed to reduced sales during the three-year period from 2000 to 2002 to below levels that would otherwise have been anticipated by us based on past performance and reasonable future expectations from Asian markets. Those markets are areas of significant market potential for us. We believe that continued weakness in Asian currencies relative to the United States Dollar could have a negative influence on our future sales to Asia, although it is very difficult to accurately predict the magnitude of such impact. In addition, our revenues are subject to the customary risks of operating in an international environment, including the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions, tariff and other tax increases, fluctuations in exchange rates and unstable political situations, any one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, balance sheet or results of operations.
Item 2. Properties.
We currently lease 26,000 square feet of space in Rochester, New York for certain executive, administrative, sales and service purposes. The lease for this facility will expire in October 2002. We additionally lease a facility of approximately 27,000 square feet at 35 Vantage Point Drive in Rochester that had housed the TPG business, which was divested in December 2001. The lease for that facility expires in March 2009. During Fiscal Year 2003, we will move our Rochester operations into this facility. Various sales office and CalLab space is leased by us and our subsidiary, Transmation (Canada), Inc.
5
After the move to 35 Vantage Point Drive, our facilities will be fully utilized and considered suitable for our current and future needs. We were credited for duplicate rent expense and estimated move costs in the transaction to divest TPG.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
In May, 2002, our former Vice President Finance sued us in New York State Supreme Court, Monroe County, alleging, among other things, that we breached the terms of his Employment Agreement with us when his employment was terminated. He is seeking approximately $460,000 to compensate him for lost wages and unpaid vacation. We disagree with the claims asserted by him against us, do not believe that he is entitled to any relief and are defending this action to the maximum extent possible.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 below.
Restatement of Third Quarter 2002.
In 1999, we acquired Metermaster, Inc. In connection with that acquisition, we acquired a substantial amount of goodwill, which was related in large part to MAC. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, we reevaluated the allocation methodology for Metermaster goodwill associated with the sale of the MAC division. Initially in the third quarter, a portion of the Metermaster goodwill was attributed to the sale of MAC. Subsequent to the filing of the third quarter report, we determined that the remaining $1.7 million of Metermaster goodwill should have been allocated to the MAC division. As this was a third quarter event, the quarterly report has been restated to include an additional charge of $1.7 million, and this is addressed in Note 15 of Item 8 of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was recently released by the Securities and Exchange Commission, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements, which follows in Item 8 of this report, includes a complete discussion of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. A summary of our most critical accounting policies follows:
Revenue Recognition. Sales are recorded when products are shipped or services are rendered to customers and, as we have no significant post delivery obligations, the product price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from freight charged to customers are recognized when products are shipped.
Managements Estimates. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Furthermore, certain contra revenue accounts also require management to make estimated accruals. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to volume purchase rebates, income taxes, bad debts, inventory reserves, intangible assets and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical data, when available, experience, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined 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 those estimates.
Deferred Catalog Costs. We amortize the cost of each major catalog we mail over the estimated productive life. We review sales results from our catalog mailings on a continuous basis. If warranted, we would modify the period over which we recognize these costs. On March 31, 2002, we had deferred approximately $0.7 million in catalog costs, of which $0.6 million will be expensed in fiscal 2003, and $0.1 million in fiscal 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we determined that our catalog useful life approximated the mailing cycle of our major catalog, reducing our productive life from 24 months to 18 months, and recognizing an additional $0.1 million expense in fiscal 2002.
Deferred Gain on TPG. As a result of certain post divestiture commitments, we, according to generally accepted accounting principles, are unable to recognize the gain on the divestiture of TPG. These commitments are scheduled to expire in fiscal year 2006. Unless these commitments are substantially modified, or eliminated, we will not be able to recognize the gain on this divestiture, for accounting purposes, until that time. The purchaser of TPG does not have the right to rescind the transaction under any circumstances.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (including goodwill). We currently amortize the excess of the purchase price over assets acquired over a period of 20 years. Upon a change in circumstances, we test our goodwill impairment by comparing undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the goodwill. However, on April 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Upon adopting SFAS 142, we are required to calculate the fair value of recorded goodwill. If the fair value of the goodwill does not exceed the carrying value of the goodwill, a write down of the remaining goodwill is necessitated. We have evaluated the fair value of our goodwill and
8
determined that a non-cash goodwill impairment will exist that is estimated to be approximately $6.5 million. Accordingly, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we will report this charge as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. At March 31, 2002 and 2001 goodwill amounted to $9.0 million and $19.9 million, respectively.
Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets. A valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset was recorded at March 31, 2002 and a portion of the net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2001 and represents the portion of tax operating loss carry forwards and other items for which it is more likely than not that the benefit of such items will not be realized. Such valuation allowance increased by approximately $2.4 million and decreased by $0.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 respectively.
Restructuring.
In March, 2002, we implemented a cost saving initiative to increase long-term profitability through a workforce reduction program. The program reduced the number of our employees by 22. A restructuring charge to pre-tax earnings of $0.3 million or $0.05 per share was taken in the fourth quarter. The annualized benefit of lower costs to us as a result of the restructuring is expected to be $1.3 million.

Fiscal Year 2002 Compared to Fiscal Year 2001.
Net sales decreased $8.8 million, or 11.6%, from 2001 to 2002. Excluding the impact of the divestitures of MAC and TPG, which accounted for $2.9 million of the decrease, net sales decreased by $5.9 million or 7.8% from 2001. External sales of divested MAC and TPG operations amounted to $5.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002. The weak U.S. economy in fiscal 2002 impacted the process industry which has historically been a major market for our products. Our product sales declined as a result $7.2 million (excluding divestitures) or 14.7% from 2001. Despite the difficult economy, calibration services sales in 2002 increased $1.3 million, or 7.5% over 2001, to $18.7 million. The growth was attributable to our strategic decision to enter new markets, including life science and fiber optics, where new permanent on-site calibration contracts were established with major accounts.
Gross profit decreased $5.4 million, or 23.4% from 2001 to 2002. Excluding the divestitures, which accounted for $0.9 million of the decrease, gross profit decreased $4.5 million or 22.3% from 2001. Gross profit of MAC and TPG amounted to $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002. Additionally, as a result of the divestitures, the manufacturing gross profit of $2.0 million that we realized on the sale of products through our distribution operations will not be realized in subsequent years. The gross profit on product sales declined from 33.0% of sales in 2001 to 29.6% in 2002. The gross profit deterioration is the result of a non-recurring inventory write-off of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the higher cost of products previously manufactured and product mix along with volume/cost absorption issues. Gross profit on calibration services decreased from 23.6% in 2001 to 18.2% in 2002. Our investment in four new calibration operations, including two new labs and two new on-sites, was another cause of the gross profit erosion.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million or 3.7% in 2002 from 2001. This decrease is attributable to certain operating expenses eliminated as a result of the divestitures and our ongoing effort to control operating expense spending. Direct selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses from MAC and TPG totaled $1.5 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002.
Research and development costs decreased $0.26 million or 22.7% in 2002 from 2001. The reduction in research and development expenses reflects the divestiture of TPG. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2002, TPG accounted for our entire $0.9 million in research and development expenditures.
Other income increased by $0.2 million due to the gain associated with the proceeds received from a life insurance policy.
Interest expense decreased $1.1 million from 2001 to 2002. This 44% decrease reflects our use of the proceeds from the divestitures of MAC and TPG to reduce bank debt from $25.2 million at
10
March 31, 2001 to $9.9 million at March 31, 2002. The interest expense attributed to the divested operations was $0.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002.
Due to the current year loss from operations, we fully reserved our net deferred taxes. As a result of utilization of net operating loss tax carrybacks, a $0.6 million, or 8.3% effective income tax benefits, was recorded in fiscal year 2002. The effective income tax benefit of 19.6% in fiscal year 2001 resulted from utilization of net operating losses and the reversal of valuation allowances.
The effects of inflation during fiscal 2002 and 2001 were not material.
Fiscal Year 2001 Compared to Fiscal Year 2000.
Net sales decreased 5.5%, or $4.4 million, from 2000 to 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower demand for our products from international markets as a result of the strong U.S. Dollar compared to international currencies, lower sales of modified meters in 2001 compared to 2000 when we were able to reduce backlogs for such products which had been built up prior to the acquisition of Metermaster and reduced customer purchasing activities as a result of the weakening of the U.S. economy throughout fiscal 2001.
Gross profit increased $1.2 million, or 6%, as a result of a write-down of excess and obsolete inventory of $2.6 million in fiscal 2000. Excluding that charge, gross profit would have decreased $1.3 million or 5.3%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million in 2001 compared to fiscal 2000. The primary reason for the decrease was reduced severance charges of approximately $0.4 million, a concerted effort to reduce operating expenses totaling $0.6 million, and reduced bad debt expense of approximately $0.2 million.
Research and development costs decreased 23% in 2001 compared to 2000, with the resulting spending considered appropriate for us to maintain our competitive position in the marketplace.
Interest expense decreased 13.9% in fiscal 2001 as a result of bank debt reductions of approximately $4.2 million and not incurring significant charges for failure to comply with certain financial covenants required by our borrowing agreement which were imposed in fiscal 2000.
11
Our effective income tax benefit for fiscal 2001 was 19.6% compared to an income tax benefit of 11.4% in fiscal 2000. The tax benefits recognized in fiscal 2001 and 2000 resulted from the utilization of net operating losses and the reversal of valuation allowances.
The effects of inflation during fiscal 2001 and 2000 were not material.
Impairment of Goodwill
As a result of the sale of MAC, we wrote down the value of our goodwill by $4.5 million in fiscal year 2002.
Ongoing Operations.
As a result of the MAC and TPG divestitures and our restructuring and other unusual items, our ongoing business will differ significantly in nature from that in prior fiscal years, including the majority of fiscal year 2002. Reported prior year financial results and comparisons include the sales and operating results of the divested businesses, which cannot be reported as discontinued operations under APB 30. The following schedule summarizes information included elsewhere in this Form 10K/A regarding the effect these unusual items of expense and gains, and the operations that we divested, had on reported results for fiscal 2002:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow generated as a result of depreciation and amortization for Fiscal 2002 was $4.1 million. This positive cash flow along with the reduction in trade receivables, inventories and income tax refunds offset the uses of funds in trade payables of $0.7 million and capital expenditures of $1.4 million.
As previously disclosed on Form 8-K, dated January 10, 2002, and Form 8-K, dated February 4, 2002, we sold all of our stock in TPG and substantially all of the assets in MAC. The sales of TPG and MAC generated approximately $13.2 million in cash. A substantial portion of the cash proceeds received from these two sales were used to pay down our indebtedness under the Credit Facility. Prior to undertaking our divestiture strategy, we had borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility of approximately $25.0 million. The indebtedness was paid down as follows:
12
Term Loan A |
$ | 2,303,494 | ||
Term Loan B |
$ | 7,040,000 | ||
Revolver |
$ | 3,867,268 |
On July 12, 2002, we entered into an Eighth Amendment (the Amendment) to our Credit and Loan Agreement, originally dated August 3, 1998, with Key Bank, N.A. and Citizens Bank (the Banks). The Amendment extends the maturity date to August 1, 2003. The Amendment consists of a term loan and a revolving line of credit, whose terms are as follows:
Term Loan. Under the Amendment, we have a term notes payable totaling $2,921,506. Monthly payments of $56,512 start on August 1, 2002. Interest is payable at prime plus one percent, which is currently 5.75%. A final payment of the remaining balance is due on August 1, 2003.
Revolving Line of Credit. The maximum amount available under the revolving line of credit is $8.4 million, of which approximately $6.6 million has been drawn down through July 12, 2002. Availability under the line of credit is determined by a formula based on eligible accounts receivable (80%) and inventory (50%). From July through September 2002, we can borrow an additional $500,000 above our borrowing base and from October through December 2002 an additional $300,000 above our borrowing base, in either case, not to exceed $8.4 million, without incurring any penalties (the Overadvance). If borrowings under the revolving line of credit exceed the maximum availability, we will be in default of the debt agreement. As a result, interest to be paid on the revolving line of credit will increase by two percentage points, and will increase an incremental percentage point for every 30 days we continue to exceed the maximum availability.
The entire amount of the revolving line of credit is due August 2003. A reduction in the revolving line of credit may occur in the third quarter of this year. Such reduction will occur to the extent we do not incur the entire $0.5 million allowed for our facility move. Any difference between the actual expenditures and the stipulated amounts will be applied against the revolving line of credit balance, and the maximum available amount will be reduced accordingly. We believe that any reduction in our revolving line of credit as a result of the difference between our actual costs to move and the stipulated amount will not affect our borrowing ability.
In connection with the execution of the Amendment, we paid an extension fee of $28,300, and incurred transaction costs of approximately $50,000. Additional payments of $28,300 will be due on each of September 27, 2002, December 27, 2002 and March 28, 2003.
At the present time, we have $225,000 in escrow associated with our sale of MAC to Hughes Corp. We may receive additional remuneration from Hughes Corp if MAC achieves certain operational benchmarks. When received, the amount in escrow, plus any incremental remuneration will be used to pay down Term Loan A.
Further, the Banks have the right to require us to retain, at our reasonable expense, an independent consultant acceptable to the Banks to monitor and/or audit any and all managerial, operational and/or accounting functions, including but not limited to analysis of our business plans, cash flow forecasts and financial projections.
The loan agreement contains certain fixed charge coverage and funded debt ratios, which must be provided to the Banks on a quarterly basis. Certain covenants from previous amendments, including those requiring a certain level of net worth, have been eliminated. All previous covenant violations have been waived as of July 12, 2002. If we are not in compliance with these ratios, or if borrowings under the revolving line of credit exceed the borrowing base, as adjusted, an event of default would result.
Had the Amendment been in effect as of June 30, 2002, we would have had approximately $6.6 million outstanding against the revolving credit agreement. The borrowing base if computed at this time would have provided availability of approximately $7 million.
Our plans for the balance of fiscal year 2003 are such that we believe we will be in compliance with all loan covenants, and other conditions of borrowings. In the second quarter of our fiscal year, our plans indicate that we will be in excess of the anticipated borrowing base. However, such excess will be less then the permitted Overadvance.
Maximizing cash flow from operations will be another integral factor in our ability to minimize necessary borrowing under the revolving line of credit in order to minimize any potential defaults under our loan agreement. Our plans entail active management of working capital and reviewing our current operations. Plans to actively manage working capital include, but are not limited to, inventory reductions and accelerated collections of accounts receivable. With respect to cash flows from operating activities, we have taken the following actions:
| In March 2002, we announced a restructuring program that resulted in the elimination of 22 positions. We expect annual savings as a result of this program to exceed $1.3 million. | |
| We are in the process of filing with the Internal Revenue Service for a refund of approximately $600,000 for carry backs of certain net operating losses. |
Should these measures fail to achieve sufficient cash flow from operations when combined with available borrowing capacity to ensure that we comply with our debt covenants, additional actions will be taken.
In conjunction with our sale of TPG to Fluke, we entered into a commitment to purchase a predetermined amount of inventory from Fluke. We are currently in active negotiations with Fluke to lower the level of our commitments based on products that have been discontinued and sales of TPG products by Fluke to OEMs. As of June 30, we have achieved purchases of approximately $3.0 million under this agreement. We actively track these purchases to ensure that we will be in compliance with the terms of the purchase commitment. We believe that our plans are adequate to ensure that this purchase commitment will not adversely affect our operations.
A significant commitment for us for the remainder of fiscal year 2003 and 2004 remains the amounts due and owing to the Banks under the credit facility, which expires in August 2003. We cannot be certain that the Banks will extend the term of the credit facility, if necessary, after that date. Therefore, during fiscal 2003, we will explore and seek alternative sources with other banks and lending institutions. These financing sources may not provide financing to us on terms as favorable as the arrangement we currently have with the Banks. If the Banks do not renew the credit facility in 2003 and we are unsuccessful in securing a senior lender to replace the Banks, we will need to seek additional financing alternatives (such as factoring, equity lines of credit and other non-conventional financing mechanisms), which could materially and adversely affect our fiscal year 2004 operating results and liquidity. If we are unable to obtain any additional financing, we will need to renegotiate terms with the Banks. We believe any such renegotiations will negatively impact future liquidity.

Operating Activities.
Net cash from operations totaled $3.5 million in fiscal 2002, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to 2001. The primary reason for the decrease in cash provided by operations compared to fiscal 2001 was the change in net earnings/loss of $7.1 million offset by an increase in non-cash depreciation, amortization and asset impairment costs of $4.0 million.
Other significant changes in cash from operations, net of divestitures, resulted from decreases in net inventory, receivables, net taxes receivable and deposits of $1.8 million.
Net cash from operations totaled $5.4 million in fiscal 2001, an increase of $5.1 million compared to fiscal 2000. The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by operations in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000 was the fiscal 2001 net profit of $0.5 million compared to the net loss of $2.5 million recorded in fiscal 2000, and reductions in trade accounts payable in 2001 of $0.5 million compared to reductions of $4.6 million in fiscal 2000 when we liquidated payables acquired as a result of the Metermaster acquisition.
Investing Activities.
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $12.1 million in fiscal 2002 compared to cash used of $1.4 million in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2002, we realized $13.0 million of cash as proceeds from divestitures. Cash used in investing activities totaled $1.4 million in fiscal 2001 compared to $1.5 million in fiscal 2000.
There are no material commitments for capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 as of this date other than approximately $0.3 million in construction and leasehold improvements to relocate our Rochester, N.Y. operations into the facility vacated by TPG. Cash for this project is on deposit.
Financing Activities.
In 2002, we reduced our bank debt by $15.3 million, primarily funded by proceeds of $13.2 million from divestiture transactions. In 2001, we reduced our debt by $4.2 million. Term debt was reduced by $2.7 million and amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility were reduced $1.5 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements.
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 Business Combinations and No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB) in the second quarter of 2001. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method for business combinations and requires the use of the purchase method.
SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and indefinite life intangibles from an amortization approach to a non-amortization approach requiring periodic testing for impairment of the asset. Under SFAS No. 142, an impairment test will be required upon adoption and at least annually to determine potential write-downs of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. We will test goodwill impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. As a result of these tests, we expect to record a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge that is estimated to be approximately $6.5 million, which will be reported after-tax as a cumulative effect in accounting change on the statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Upon the adoption of the Statement on April 1, 2002, the provisions of SFAS No. 142 require discontinuance of amortization of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets which were recorded in connection with previous business combinations. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 will result in an annual decrease in pretax amortization expense associated with goodwill of approximately $1.1 million.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (APB 30), Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, for recognising and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while resolving significant implementation issues. SFAS 144 retains the basic provisions of APB 30 on the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement, but expands the scope to include all distinguishable components of an entity that will
15
be eliminated from ongoing operations in a disposal transaction. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections which, among other technical amendments, no longer requires companies to present gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item. SFAS 145 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
Risk Factors.
You should consider carefully the following risks and all other information included in this Form 10-K/A. The risks and uncertainties described below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A are not the only ones facing our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you could lose all or part of your investment.
General Economic Conditions. The electronic instrumentation distribution industry is affected by changes in economic conditions, which are outside our control. Our operating results may also be adversely affected by increases in interest rates that may lead to a decline in economic activity and higher interest payments under our secured credit facilities. We cannot assure you that economic slowdowns, adverse economic conditions or cyclical trends in certain customer markets will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
Dependence on Manufacturers. Because we no longer manufacture products, we now depend entirely upon third-party manufacturers to supply the products that we sell. In fact, during 2002, approximately 54% of all inventory purchases were made from one vendor group after giving pro forma effect to the purchase requirements relating to the sale of TPG. Although we have agreements with several manufacturers and believe that we have good relationships with them and other manufacturers, these agreements are often terminable on short notice. Therefore, we may not be able to maintain our relationship with any manufacturer. Our reliance on manufacturers leaves us vulnerable to having an inadequate supply of required products, price increases, late deliveries and poor product quality. Like other distributors in our industry, we occasionally experience supply shortages and are unable to purchase our desired volume of products. If we are unable to enter into and maintain satisfactory distribution arrangements with leading manufacturers and an adequate supply of products, our sales could suffer considerably. Finally, we cannot assure that particular products, or product lines, will be available to us, or available in quantities sufficient to meet customer demand. This is of particular significance to our business because the products we sell are often only available from one source. Such limited product access could materially and adversely affect our business.
Indebtedness. Although we have paid down a significant portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our secured credit facility, as of March 31, 2002 ,we owed $9.9 million to our secured creditors. We are still required to meet financial tests on a quarterly basis and comply with other covenants customary in secured financings. Although we believe that we will, if we do not meet debt covenant requirements, our lenders may demand immediate repayment of amounts outstanding. Changes in interest rates may have a significant effect on
16
our monthly payment obligations and operating results. Furthermore, we are dependent on credit from our manufacturers to fund our inventory purchases. If our debt burden increases to high levels, our manufacturers may restrict our credit. Our cash requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the rate of growth of our sales, the timing and levels of products purchased, payment terms and credit limits from manufacturers, the timing and level of our accounts receivable collections and our ability to manage our business profitably. Our ability to satisfy our existing obligations, whether or not under our secured credit facility, will depend upon our future operating performance, which may be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors described in this Form 10K/A, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to service our debt obligations, we may be forced to adopt one or more strategies that may include actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures or otherwise slowing our growth strategies, selling additional assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. We do not know whether any of these actions could be accomplished on satisfactory terms, if at all. If we are unable to successfully manage our debt burden, our financial condition would suffer considerably.
Forward Looking Statements.
This report may contain forward- looking statements based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management beliefs and assumptions made by us. Words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to forecast. Therefore, our actual results may materially differ from those expressed or forecast in any such forward- looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our exposure to changes in interest rates results from borrowing activities. On March 31, 2002, we had no hedging arrangements in place that would limit our exposure to upward movements in interest rates. In the event interest rates were to move by 1%, interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $0.1 million compared to the interest rate expense we would incur if rates were to remain constant at rates that existed on March 31, 2001, assuming average borrowing levels remained constant with those in effect on March 31, 2002. During fiscal year 2002, proceeds from divestitures were used to significantly reduce debt.
More than 93% of our sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars, with the remainder denominated in Canadian Dollars. A 10% change in the value of the Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar would impact our revenues by approximately 1%. We monitor the relationship between the U.S. and Canadian currencies on a continuous basis and adjusts sales prices for products and services sold in Canadian Dollars as appropriate to safeguard the profitability of sales recorded in Canadian Dollars.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Stockholders of
Transmation, Inc.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transmation, Inc. and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related financial statements. 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 schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As further discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Companys liquidity beyond April 1, 2003 may be adversely impacted, including its need to refinance its credit facility that expires on August 1, 2003.

Transmation, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements- March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000
Note 1 Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 12, 2002, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment (the Amendment) to its Credit and Loan Agreement, originally dated August 3, 1998, with Key Bank, N.A. and Citizens Bank (the Banks). The Amendment extends the maturity date to August 1, 2003. The Amendment consists of a term loan and a revolving line of credit, the terms of which are as follows:
Term Loan. Under the Amendment, the Company has two terms notes payable totaling $2,921,506. Monthly payments of $56,512 start on August 1, 2002. Interest is payable at prime plus one percent, which is currently 5.75%. A final payment of the remaining balance is due on August 1, 2003.
Revolving Line of Credit. The maximum amount available under the revolving line of credit is $8.4 million of which approximately $6.6 million has been drawn down as of July 12, 2002. Availability under the line of credit is determined by a formula based on eligible accounts receivable (80%) and inventory (50%). From July through September 2002, the Company can borrow an additional $500,000 above its borrowing base and from October to December 2002 an additional $300,000 above its borrowing base, in either case not to exceed $8.4 million, without incurring any penalties (the Overadvance). If borrowings under the revolving line of credit exceed the maximum availability, the Company will be in default of the debt agreement. As a result, interest to be paid on the revolving line of credit will increase by two percentage points, and will increase an incremental percentage point for every 30 days the Company continues to exceed the maximum availability.
The revolving line of credit is due August 2003. A reduction in the revolving line of credit may occur in the third quarter of this year. Such reduction will occur to the extent the Company does not incur the entire $0.5 million allowed for its facility move. Any difference between the actual expenditures and the stipulated amounts will be applied against the revolving line of credit balance, and the maximum available amount will be reduced accordingly. The Company believes that any reduction in its revolving line of credit as a result of the difference between its actual costs to move and the stipulated amount will not affect its borrowing ability.
In connection with the execution of the Amendment, the Company paid an extension fee of $28,300, and incurred transaction costs of approximately $50,000. Additional amounts of $28,300 will be due on each of September 27, 2002, December 27, 2002 and March 28, 2003.
At the present time, the Company has $225,000 in escrow associated with its sale of MAC to Hughes Corp. The Company may receive additional remuneration from Hughes Corp if MAC achieves certain operational benchmarks. When received, the amount in escrow, plus any incremental remuneration will be used to pay down Term Loan A.
Further, the Banks have the right to require the Company to retain, at its reasonable expense, an independent consultant acceptable to them, to monitor and/or audit any and all managerial,
24
operational and/or accounting functions, including but not limited to analysis of its business plans, cash flow forecasts and financial projections.
The loan agreement contains certain fixed charge coverage and funded debt ratios, which must be provided to the Banks on a quarterly basis. Certain covenants from previous amendments, including those requiring a certain level of net worth, have been eliminated. All previous covenant violations have been waived as of July 12, 2002. If the Company is not in compliance with these ratios, or if borrowings under the revolving line of credit exceed the borrowing base, as adjusted, an event of default would result.
Had the Amendment been in effect as of June 30, 2002, the Company would have had approximately $6.6 million outstanding against the revolving credit agreement. The borrowing base if computed at this time would have provided availability of approximately $7 million.
The Companys plans for the balance of fiscal year 2003 are such that its management believes it will be in compliance with all loan covenants, and other conditions of borrowings. In the second quarter of our fiscal year, the Companys plans indicate that it will be in excess of the anticipated borrowing base. However, such excess will be less then the permitted Overadvance.
Maximizing cash flow from operations will be another integral factor in the Companys ability to minimize necessary borrowing under the revolving line of credit in order to minimize any potential defaults under the loan agreements. The Companys plans entail active management of working capital and reviewing our current operations. Plans to actively manage working capital include, but are not limited to, inventory reductions and accelerated collections of accounts receivable. With respect to cash flows from operating activities, the Company has taken the following actions:
| In March 2002, it announced a restructuring program that resulted in the elimination of 22 positions. The Company expects annual savings as a result of this program to exceed $1.3 million. | ||
| It is in the process of filing with the Internal Revenue Service for a refund of approximately $600,000 for carry backs of certain net operating losses. |
Should these measures lack sufficiency to achieve additional cash flow from operations when at a level combined with available borrowing capacity to ensure the Company is in compliance with its debt covenants, additional actions will be taken.
In conjunction with the sale of Transmation Product Group (TPG) to Fluke, the Company entered into a commitment to purchase a predetermined amount of inventory from Fluke. The Company is currently in active negotiations with Fluke to lower the level of its commitments based on products that have been discontinued and sales of TPG products by Fluke to OEMs. As of June 30, 2002, the Company achieved purchases of approximately $3.0 million under the Agreement. The Company actively tracks these purchases to ensure that it will be in compliance with the terms of the purchase commitment. The Company believes that its plans are adequate to ensure that this purchase commitment will not adversely affect its operations or cash flows.
A significant commitment for the Company for the remainder of fiscal year 2003 and 2004 remains the amounts due and owing to the Banks under the credit facility, which expires in
25
August 2003. The Company cannot be certain that the Banks will extend the term of the credit facility, if necessary, after that date. Therefore, during fiscal 2003, the Company will explore and seek alternative sources with other banks and lending institutions. These financing sources may not provide financing to the Company on terms as favorable as the arrangement it currently has with the Banks. If the Banks do not renew the credit facility in 2003 and the Company is unsuccessful in securing a senior lender to replace the Banks, it will need to seek additional financing alternatives (such as factoring, equity lines of credit and other non-conventional financing mechanisms), which could materially and adversely affect the Company's fiscal year 2004 operating results. If it is unable to obtain any additional financing, it will need to renegotiate terms with the Banks. The Company believes any such renegotiations will negatively impact future liquidity.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Description of Business
Transmation, Inc. (Transmation or the Company) primarily distributes, sells and services instrumentation. The principal instruments that the Company sells and services are used to calibrate, measure and test many physical parameters in industry and science.
Fiscal Year
The Company operates within a conventional 52-week accounting fiscal year ending on March 31st of each year.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time products are shipped or service is performed. The Company provides an allowance for returns based upon historical and estimated returns. Sales are recorded when products are shipped or services are rendered to customers and, as the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, the product price is fixed and determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from freight charged to customers are recognized when products are shipped.
Foreign Operations
The accounts of Transmations foreign subsidiaries are maintained in the local currency of the countries in which they operate and have been translated to U.S. Dollars in accordance with
26
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52. Accordingly, the amounts representing assets and liabilities, except for long-term intercompany and equity, have translated at the year-end rates of exchange and related revenue and expense accounts have been translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains and losses arising from translation of subsidiaries balance sheets into U. S. Dollars are recorded directly to the accumulated comprehensive income component of stockholders equity. Currency gains and losses on business transactions are included in net income and have not been significant.
27
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of standard cost or market. Standard costs approximate the average cost method of inventory valuation.
Depreciation and Amortization
The cost of properties is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis. Additions and betterments are capitalized, maintenance and repairs are charged to income. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for certain income and expense items differently for financial reporting purposes than for income tax reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in recognition of these temporary differences.
Deferred Catalog Costs
Transmation amortizes the cost of each major catalog it mails over that catalogs estimated productive life. The Company reviews response results from its catalog mailings on a continuous basis; and if warranted, the Company would modify the period over which it recognizes these costs. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company determined that useful life for its major catalog approximated the mailing cycle, reducing its productive life from 24 to 18 months, and recognized an additional $0.1 million in catalog related amortization expense in 2002. Deferred catalog costs totaled $0.7 million at both March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001. Catalog costs expensed in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over fair value of assets acquired at the time subsidiaries were purchased. The excess acquisition cost is being amortized over 20 years on a straight-line basis. The Company evaluates the carrying value of the excess acquisition costs of its subsidiaries whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of excess acquisition costs is considered impaired when projected undiscounted future cash flows from the related business unit is less than its
28
carrying value. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Stock Options
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, to account for its stock option and warrant activity in the financial statements. The Company granted all options currently outstanding at an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of grant and, therefore, under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recorded. The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
29
Comprehensive Income
The Company reports comprehensive income under SFAS No. 130. Other comprehensive income is comprised of net income(loss) and currency translation adjustments.
Net Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of dilutive stock options and warrants. In computing the per share effect of assumed conversion, funds which would have been received from the exercise of options and warrants are considered to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market prices during the period, and the resulting net additional common shares are included in the calculation of average common shares outstanding. There were no dilutive stock options and warrants during 2000, 2001 and 2002. The amount of anti-dilutive stock options and warrants are summarized as follows:
(000s)
Number of Options and Warrants | Exercise Price | |||||||
2002 |
1,050 | $ | 1.55 - $9.25 | |||||
2001 |
1,434 | $ | 1.94 - $9.25 | |||||
2000 |
1,477 | $ | 2.13 - $9.25 |
Reclassification of Amounts
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation with no effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheet or on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 Business Combinations and No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets were issued by the Financial Accounting
30
Standards Board (FASB) in the second quarter of 2001. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method for business combinations and requires the use of the purchase method.
SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and indefinite life intangibles from an amortization approach to a non-amortization approach requiring periodic testing for impairment of the asset. Under SFAS No. 142, an impairment test will be required upon adoption and at least annually to determine potential write-downs of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. The Company will test goodwill impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. As a result of these tests, the Company expects to record a pre-tax impairment charge that
31
is estimated to be approximately $6.5 million, which will be reported after-tax as a cumulative effect in accounting change on the statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Upon the adoption of the Statement on April 1, 2002, the provisions of SFAS No. 142 require discontinuance of amortization of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets which were recorded in connection with previous business combinations. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 will result in an annual decrease in pretax amortization expense associated with goodwill of approximately $1.1 million.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which amends Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (APB 30), Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while resolving significant implementation issues. SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of APB 30 on the presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement, but expands the scope to include all distinguishable components of an entity that will be eliminated from ongoing operations in a disposal transaction. We plan to adopt SFAS No. 144 on April 1, 2002 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections which, among other technical amendments, no longer requires companies to present gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.

Note 6 Long Term Debt:
At March 31, 2002, the Company has a $8.4 million Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with banks dated August 8, 1998 amended most recently on July 12, 2002 which extends through August 1, 2003. At March 31, 2002, $3.6 million was borrowed under the Term Loan. The loan requires repayment as follows:
April 1, 2002 March 31, 2003 |
$1.0 million | |||
April 1, 2003 March 31, 2004 |
$2.6 million |
Interest to be paid under the amended Term Loan is 1.0% above the banks prime lending rate.
At March 31, 2002, $6.3 million was borrowed under the Revolving Credit portion of the Companys Credit Facility. The term of the Revolving Credit Facility dated August 8, 1998 as amended, matures on August 1, 2003. Interest is payable under the amended Revolving Credit Facility at 1.0% above the banks prime lending rate.
The Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement contain, among other provisions, requirements to meet minimum fixed charged coverage ratios and leverage ratios.
Additionally, the Company has pledged its personal property and fixtures, including inventory and equipment, and its accounts receivable as collateral security for the loan. Further, the Company has agreed to pay to its lenders an annual commitment fee from 0.125% to 0.25%, depending on performance of the Company, of the unused portion of the Lenders Revolving Credit Committed Amount. The fee is payable quarterly and total commitment fees paid under any unused lines of credit under Revolving Credit Agreements were immaterial in all years 2000 2002. The Company is obligated to pay an extension fee in the amount of approximately $115,000 in equal quarterly installments commencing in July 2002 in conjunction with the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility and the amendment thereto; fees are being amortized over the term of the loans.
At March 31, 2002, the Company was in violation of, among others, debt covenants requiring minimum net worth. However, all covenant violations existing at March 31, 2002 and July 12, 2002 were waived by the banks.
The Companys debt in the attached Balance Sheet has been reclassified in accordance with the Amendment as discussed in Note 1 above.

Note 7 Leases:
The Company has operating leases under renewable agreements covering software, equipment and sales and service office space. At March 31, 2002 minimum future rental payments due under such leases for space which had an initial non-cancelable term in excess of one year were $3.8 million due in monthly installments. Amounts due under these leases are as follows:
2003 |
$1.5 million | |||
2004 |
$0.7 million | |||
2005 |
$0.5 million | |||
2006 |
$0.3 million | |||
2007 |
$0.3 million | |||
Thereafter |
$0.5 million |
Total rental expense under these leases was $1.0 million in 2002, $1.1 million in 2001 and $0.9 million in 2000. At March 31, 2002 the Company had two facilities under lease in Rochester, New York. One of those facilities became unoccupied at March 31, 2002 as a result of the divestiture of TPG. The second facility has a lease term ending during fiscal 2003. During fiscal 2003, the Company will move into the former TPG facility. As a term of the divestiture transaction, the Company received a deposit of $0.5 million to cover lease payments on the unused facility and make-ready and move costs.

Pro forma information regarding net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share is required by SFAS No. 123 and it has been determined as if the Company had accounted for options and warrants under the fair value method. To calculate the fair value of the options and warrants awarded, the Company elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model which produced a weighted average fair value of options granted of $1.41, $1.36 and $1.68 in 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively.
The following assumptions were used in the pricing model: a weighted average expected option life of five years; an annualized volatility rate of 85.9% for 2002, 73.9% for 2001 and 58.8 % for 2000; a weighted average risk-free rate of return of 4.6% in 2002, 5.61% in 2001 and 6.14% in 2000; and no dividends paid in any year. The Company elected to account for terminations when they occur rather than include an attrition factor into its model.

A valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset was recorded at March 31, 2002 and a portion of the net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2001. This represents the portion of tax operating loss carry forwards and other items for which it is more likely than not that the benefit of such items will not be realized. Such valuation allowance increased by approximately $2.4 million and decreased by $0.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001.

Note 10- Deferred Compensation:
In accordance with the terms of a deferred compensation agreement between the Company and William J. Berk, former President of Transmation, Mr. Berk was entitled to annual payments of approximately $0.1 million for life. Mr. Berk passed away during fiscal year 2002, and under further terms of the agreement, his widow will receive 60% of his annual benefit. This deferred compensation agreement was not funded and the estimated present value of the future benefits was recorded as an expense and a liability over the term of Mr. Berks actual employment.
Note 11 Deferred Profit Sharing:
All United States employees of Transmation are eligible to participate in a plan providing certain qualifications are met. Effective April 1, 1981, the Transmation, Inc. Deferred Profit Sharing Plan was adopted. Effective April 1, 1987, this plan was amended from a non-contributory to a contributory defined contribution plan and renamed the Transmation, Inc. Long -Term Savings and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan. Employer contributions are made to the plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. Payments of benefits accrued for plan participants will be made upon retirement or upon termination of employment prior to retirement providing certain conditions have been met by the employee prior to termination. There were no company profit sharing contributions made under this plan in any of fiscal years 2002-2000.
Note 12- Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company has determined the fair value of its debt and other financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as follows:
Cash and Accounts Receivable: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and accounts receivables approximate their fair value, due to their short term nature.
Long-Term Debt: The carrying amount of debt under the Companys Floating Rate Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with a bank approximates its fair value.
42
Note 13 Divestitures:
On December 26, 2001, the Company sold Transmation Products Group (TPG), which produces instruments used to calibrate, measure and test physical parameters to Fluke Electronics Corp. (Fluke). The purchase price was $11.0 million, which included a $0.5 million prepayment for various leases. The Company will be the world-wide distributor of TPG products for the next five years. In conjunction with the divestiture, the Company entered into an agreement with Fluke that requires Transmation to purchase a significant amount of inventory from Fluke over the next five years. As a result of this agreement, SEC Staff Accounting Bulleting Topic 5E precludes the Company from recognizing the gain on this transaction.
On January 18, 2002, the Company completed the sale of our Measurement and Control (MAC) unit to Hughes Corporation (Hughes) for $2.9 million, which includes approximately $0.2 million in prepayments for various services that we will provide to Hughes. The $4.5 million loss on the sale of MAC was reflected in our third quarter Consolidated Statement of Income.
Note 14 Litigation:
In May 2002, the Companys Vice President Finance sued the Company in New York State Supreme Court, Monroe County, alleging, among other things, that the Company breached the terms of his employment agreement with the Company when his employment was terminated. He is seeking approximately $460,000 to compensate him for lost wages and unpaid vacation. The Company disagrees with his claims against the Company, does not believe that he is entitled to any relief and is defending this action to the maximum extent possible.
Note 15 Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited):
In 1999, Transmation acquired Metermaster, Inc. In connection with that acquisition, the Company acquired a substantial amount of goodwill, which was related in large part to MAC. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, management reevaluated the allocation methodology for Metermaster goodwill associated with the sale of the MAC division. Initially, a portion of the Metermaster goodwill attributed to the sale of MAC was allocated in the third quarter. Subsequent to the filing of the third quarter report, we determined that the remaining $1.7 million of Metermaster goodwill should have been allocated to the MAC division. As this was a third quarter event, the quarterly report was restated to include an additional charge of $1.7 million.
