E. New Accounting Pronouncement In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 revises the methodology to be used in computing earnings per share (EPS) such that the computations required for primary and fully diluted EPS are to be replaced with "basic" and "diluted" EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as fully diluted EPS, except that, among other changes, the average share price for the period is used in all cases when applying the treasury stock method to potentially dilutive outstanding options. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 effective January 31, 1998, and will restate EPS for all periods presented. The Company anticipates that the amounts reported for basic EPS for the unaudited three months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 will be $.31 and $.24, respectively. The Company anticipates that the amounts reported for diluted EPS for the unaudited three months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 will be $.30 and $.23, respectively. The Company anticipates the amounts reported for basic EPS for the unaudtied six months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 will be $.53 and $.41, respectively. The Company anticipates the amounts reported for diluted EPS for this same six month period will be $.52 and $.40, respectively. 8 9 Part I Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, as a percentage of revenues, certain items from the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
April 30, 1997 April 30, 1996 ----------------------------------------------------------- three months six months three months six months ended ended ended ended ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Gross Profit 25.9 24.9 25.8 24.1 Selling, general and administrative expenses 15.6 15.7 15.2 15.0 Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes 10.5 9.4 10.4 8.9 Income tax provision 3.9 3.2 3.6 3.1 Earnings from continuing operations 6.6 6.2 6.8 5.8
Revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 were up 12 percent to $48,439,000 from $43,127,000 in the second quarter of last year. Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 1997 were up 10 percent to $91,566,000 from $82,988,000 in the first six months of last year. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was 25.9 percent and 25.8 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1997 and 1996. The gross profit percentage for the six months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 was 24.9 percent and 24.1 percent, respectively. The higher percentages in 1997 were due to changes in product mix shipped during 1997 and efficiencies due to the increased volume of activity. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 15.6 percent and 15.2 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1997 and 1996. These percentages for the six months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 were 15.7 percent and 15.0 percent. The increase in percentages reflects higher selling and commission expenses. Income tax provision The effective tax rate was 35.9 percent and 35.2 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996 the effective tax rate was 34.7 percent and 35.4 percent respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher projected tax rates for 1997 due to an increased level of taxable income. Earnings from continuing operations were $3,273,000 or $.30 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 1996, an increase of 12 percent from $2,911,000 or $.27 per share for the same period last year. For the six months ended April 30, 1997, net earnings were $5,642,000 or $.52 per share, compared with $4,773,000 or $.44 per share for the first six months of fiscal 1996, an increase of 18 percent. Backlog The order backlog at April 30, 1997 was $141.7 million compared to $106.5 million at October 31, 1996. 9 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During 1990, the Company concluded a private placement of $15,000,000 in term notes, of which $3,750,000 was outstanding as of April 30, 1997. These notes are unsecured with a fixed interest rate of 10.4 percent. The notes mature with the final payment of $3,750,000 due in June 1997. In October 1995, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with a major domestic bank. As of April 30, 1997, the Company had no borrowing outstanding and letters of credits outstanding of $1,665,000 under this line. The Company's ability to satisfy its cash requirements is evaluated by analyzing key measures of liquidity applicable to the Company. The following table is a summary of the measures which are significant to management:
April 30, October 31, April 30, 1997 1996 1996 Working Capital $46,956,000 $46,505,000 $39,927,000 Current Ratio 2.3 to 1 2.4 to 1 2.4 to 1 Debt to Capitalization .1 to 1 .1 to 1 .1 to 1
Management believes that the Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position. The increase in working capital at April 30, 1997, as compared to October 31, 1996 is due mainly to an increase in cash and accounts receivable partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $2,911,000 during the six months ended April 30, 1997. The increase in accounts payable and earnings from operations during the six months ended April 30, 1997 provided the majority of the cash. The primary use of cash, during this period, was for capital expenditures related to the plant expansion at three operating facilities and increases in the ending balance of accounts receivables and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings accounts. The Company's fiscal 1997 asset management program will continue to focus on the collection of receivables and reduction in inventories. The Company plans to satisfy its fiscal 1997 capital requirements and operating needs primarily with funds available in cash and cash equivalents of $11,846,000, funds generated from operating activities and funds available under its existing revolving credit line. The previous discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements. Any forward looking statements in the preceding paragraphs of this Form 10Q are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainty in that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, difficulties which could arise in obtaining materials or components in sufficient quantities as needed for the Company's manufacturing and assembly operations, unforeseen political or economic problems in countries to which the Company exports its products in relation to the Company's principal competitors, any significant decrease in the Company's backlog of orders, any material employee relations problems, or any material litigation or claims made against the Company, as well as general market conditions, competition and pricing. 10 11 Part II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceeding On August 5, 1993, the Company was served with a lawsuit by National Westminster Bank plc ("NatWest") alleging the Company had defaulted on a Construction Guaranty provided to NatWest in 1992 in connection with a project at MacDill Air Force Base. NatWest is seeking damages in excess of $20,000,000. The Company has denied the substantive allegations of the complaint and has filed counterclaims for damages against NatWest alleging fraud, bad faith and failure to preserve and protect its collateral and seeking a declaratory judgement that the Company is not in default of the Construction Guaranty. On June 4, 1997, the Company obtained from the Court a copy of a memorandum and order denying its motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and, alternatively, to stay its prosecution pending disposition by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals ("ASBCA") of an appeal by NatWest's borrower, Empire Energy Management Systems,Inc., from the allegedly wrongful default termination of a contract between Empire and the United States Air Force. In reaching its decision on the stay motion, the Court found in substance that a Termination for Convenience by the ASBCA in deciding the appeal would not release Powell under the Construction Guaranty, which release is one of the Company's alleged defenses. On May 2, 1997, the Court declined NatWest's request for a trial date. As of May 14, 1997, the Clerk of the Court entered NatWest's default for failure to reply to the Company's counterclaims, and on June 5, 1997, NatWest moved to set the default aside. The ultimate disposition of the NatWest litigation is not presently determinable. Accordingly, although an unfavorable outcome to the NatWest litigation could have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations, the Company believes it would be unreasonable to conclude that an unfavorable outcome is probable. ITEM 2. Changes in Securities The Articles of Incorporation were amended effective May 2, 1997 to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 to 30,000,000. There is no current effect of such amendment on the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as the Company does not have a present intention to issue additional shares of its Common Stock. A future issuance of such additionally authorized shares could have a dilutive effect on holders of shares of Common Stock. ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities Not applicable ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation held on March 14, 1997, a proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock was submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The number of affirmative votes was 9,453,098 and the number of negative votes was 279,287. ITEM 5. Other Information None ITEM 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K a.

         The undersigned, Thomas W. Powell and J. F. Ahart, the President and
Secretary, respectively, of Powell Industries, Inc., a corporation organized
and existing under and pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada (the
"Corporation"), hereby certify:

         FIRST: That Article Fifth of the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation is amended to read as follows:

                  FIFTH: The Corporation is authorized to issue a total of
         35,000,000 shares, of which 30,000,000 shall be a class designated
         "Common Stock" and 5,000,000 shall be a class designated "Preferred
         Stock." The shares of each class shall have a par value of one cent
         ($.01) per share. Holders of Common Stock are granted voting rights
         equal to one vote per share.

                  The Preferred Stock authorized by these Articles of
         Incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more series.
         The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to prescribe or alter the
         number of series of Preferred Stock, and the voting powers,
         designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative
         rights of each series of Preferred Stock.

                  Subject to all of the rights of the Preferred Stock or any
         series thereof, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to
         receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of
         funds legally available therefor, dividends payable in cash, stock, or
         otherwise. Upon any liquidation of the Corporation, and after the
         holders of the Preferred Stock of each series shall have been paid in
         full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled or a sum
         sufficient for such payment in full has been set aside, the remaining
         net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the
         holders of the Common Stock, to the exclusion of the holders of the
         Preferred Stock.

                  No holder of shares of the Corporation shall be entitled to
