E. EARNINGS PER SHARE In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Statement No. 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported primary earnings per share. Earnings per share amounts for each period have been presented and restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per share date):

8 9 Part I Item 1 F. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 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 judgment that the Company is not in default of the Construction Guaranty. On February 4, 1998, the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, issued a memorandum and order denying the Company's motion for summary judgment, and granting NatWest's motion for partial summary judgment, with respect to certain defenses and one counterclaim of the Company. The Court dismissed several of the Company's alleged defenses, in particular, (1) its defense that the Company was fraudulently induced by NatWest into executing the Construction Guaranty, (2) its defense that the contract between NatWest's borrower, Empire Energy Management Systems, Inc., and the United States Air Force was terminated for the convenience of the government, and (3) its defense of secondary liability. The Court has set a trial date of September 14, 1998. The ultimate disposition of the NatWest litigation is not presently determinable. However, an unfavorable outcome to the NatWest litigation could have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 9 10 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, 1998 April 30, 1997 ----------------------------------------------------------- three months six months three months six months ended ended ended ended ------------ ----------- ------------ ---------- Revenues 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Gross Profit 22.7 22.8 25.9 24.9 Selling, general and administrative expenses 13.6 14.4 15.6 15.7 Earnings from operations before income taxes 9.1 8.4 10.5 9.4 Net earnings 6.1 5.7 6.6 6.2
Revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 1998 were up 11 percent to $53,989,000 from $48,439,000 in the second quarter of last year. Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 1998 were up 9.6 percent to $100,339,000 from $91,566,000 in the first six months of last year. The increases in revenues were mainly in the domestic markets. The Asian monetary problems contributed to lower revenues at two of Powell's subsidiaries. Export revenues continued to be an important component of the Company's operations accounting for $39,240,000 for the six months ending April 30, 1998 compared to $37,453,000 for the same period of 1997. Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was 22.7 percent and 25.9 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1998 and 1997. The gross profit percentage for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 was 22.8 percent and 24.9 percent, respectively. The lower percentages in 1998 were mainly due to changes in product mix shipped during 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 13.6 percent and 15.6 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1998 and 1997. These percentages for the six months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 were 14.4 percent and 15.7 percent. The decrease in percentages reflects a constant level of expenses on higher volume of revenues. Income tax provision The effective tax rate was 32.6 percent and 35.9 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 the effective tax rate was 32.0 percent and 34.7 percent respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower projected tax rates for 1998 due to the higher estimated foreign sales corporation credits. Earnings from continuing operations were $3,314,000 or $.31 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 1998, a small increase from $3,273,000 or $.30 per share for the same period last year. For the six months ended April 30, 1998, net earnings were $5,712,000 or $.53 per share, compared with $5,642,000 or $.53 per share for the first six months of fiscal 1997. The per share data has been calculated on a fully diluted basis per FASB 128 for all periods reported. Backlog The order backlog at April 30, 1998 was $158.9 million compared to $137.3 million at October 31, 1997. 10 11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES In August 1997, the Company entered into a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with a major domestic bank. The Company had borrowings outstanding of $7,000,000 under this line on April 30, 1998. 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, 1998 1997 1997 --------- ----------- --------- Working Capital $55,067,000 $51,769,000 $46,956,000 Current Ratio 2.88 to 1 2.36 to 1 2.30 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, 1998, as compared to October 31, 1997 is due mainly to a decrease in current assets (primarily accounts receivable) offset by a decrease in current liabilities (primarily billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings). Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $283,000 during the six months ended April 30, 1998. The primary use of cash during this period was for capital expenditures mainly related to the continuing expansion of Powell Electrical Manufacturing Company facilities and due to decreased current liabilities. The Company's fiscal 1998 asset management program will continue to focus on the collection of receivables and reduction in inventories. The Company plans to satisfy its fiscal 1998 capital requirements and operating needs primarily with funds available in cash and cash equivalents of $1,936,000, 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. 11 12 Part II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings 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 Court has set a trial date of September 14, 1998. The ultimate disposition of the NatWest litigation is not presently determinable. However, an unfavorable outcome to the NatWest litigation could have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. ITEM 2. Changes in Securities None ITEM 3.
