NOTE 1 -
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Lapis was
formed in Delaware on January 31, 2002 under the name Enertec Electronics, Inc.
Lapis, via its subsidiary Enertec Systems 2001 LTD (“Enertec Systems”), an
Israeli corporation formed on August 28, 2001, is a manufacturer and provider of
various military and airborne systems, simulators, automatic test equipment
(ATE), electronic components and products related to power supplies, converters
and other power conversion products. Our business is focused in two major
product lines: (i) the development and manufacturing of simulators and automatic
test equipment (ATE) to a large variety of weapons systems and at all levels of
maintenance, development and integration and (ii) the development and
manufacturing of comprehensive, large scale, electronics systems for the
military industry providing comprehensive solution to power supply, command and
control including systems design, development, manufacturing and implementation
on a turn-key basis. The management of Lapis has begun to implement its strategy
of focusing on developing comprehensive electronics turn-key solutions via its
controlled subsidiary Enertec Systems. This strategy potentially includes larger
scale transactions enabling higher revenue as well as increasing the gross
margin and overall profitability. Presently, Lapis conducts its operations in
Israel through its wholly owned subsidiary Enertec Electronics Limited (“Enertec
Electronics”) which owns a 73% equity interest of Enertec Systems. The Enertec
Electronics business is gradually decreasing as a result of our strategy to exit
from the business of selling electronics components to focus on the development,
design and manufacturing of large systems. The vast majority of the Lapis
business is conducted by Enertec Systems through its factory located in Karmiel
in the northern part of Israel.

This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains or may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. These statements relate to future events or our future financial
performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of
such terms, or other comparable terminology. These statements are only
predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, such should not be regarded as a representation by Lapis
Technologies, Inc. (“Lapis” or the “Company”), or any other person, that such
forward-looking statements will be achieved. The business and operations of
Lapis Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries are subject to substantial risks,
which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements
contained in this Report. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks
and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements, including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and
other factors discussed under “Risk Factors,” included in the quarterly report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2010 filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 24, 2010.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
Report.
Lapis was
formed in Delaware on January 31, 2002 under the name Enertec Electronics, Inc.
Lapis, via its subsidiary Enertec Systems, an Israeli corporation formed on
August 28, 2001, is a manufacturer and provider of various military and airborne
systems, simulators, automatic test equipment (ATE), electronic components and
products related to power supplies, converters and other power conversion
products. Our business is focused in two major product lines: (i) the
development and manufacturing of simulators and automatic test equipment (ATE)
to a large variety of weapons systems and at all levels of maintenance,
development and integration and (ii) the development and manufacturing of
comprehensive, large scale, electronics systems for the military industry
providing comprehensive solution to power supply, command and control including
systems design, development, manufacturing and implementation on a turn-key
basis. The management of Lapis has begun to implement its strategy of focusing
on developing comprehensive electronics turn-key solutions via its controlled
subsidiary Enertec Systems. This strategy potentially includes larger scale
transactions enabling higher revenue as well as increasing the gross margin and
overall profitability. Presently, Lapis conducts its operations in Israel
through its wholly owned subsidiary Enertec Electronics, which owns a 73% equity
interest of Enertec Systems. The Enertec Electronics business is gradually
decreasing as a result of our strategy to exit from the business of selling
electronics components to focus on the development, design and manufacturing of
large systems. The vast majority of the Lapis business is conducted by Enertec
Systems through its factory located in Karmiel in the northern part of
Israel.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
June 30, 2010, our cash balance was $360,000 as compared to $711,000 at June 30,
2009. Total current assets at June 30, 2010 were $7,383,000 as compared to
$8,154,000 at June 30, 2009. The decrease in current assets is mainly due to the
decrease in inventory.
Our
accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 were $3,587,000 as compared to $3,386,000
at June 30, 2009. This increase in accounts receivables is primarily due to an
increase in sales.
As of
June 30, 2010 our working capital was $2,632,000 as compared to $1,853,000 at
June 30, 2009. The increase in working capital is due primarily to a decrease in
current liabilities.
There was
no current portion of long-term loans at June 30, 2009. The current portion of
long-term loans at June 30, 2010 was $99,000. Our total short-term loans
amounted to $1,287,000 as of June 30, 2010 as compared to $3,926,000 as of June
30, 2009.
8
As of
June 30, 2010, our total bank debt was $1,684,000 as compared to $4,467,000 at
June 30, 2009 and $3,484,000 as compared to December 31, 2009. These funds were
borrowed as follows:
$1,287,000
was borrowed as various short term bank loans due through 2010, and $1,000 using
our bank lines of credit. As a result we decreased the amount borrowed for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 by $2,783,000 as compared to the same period in
2009. The decrease in bank debt is mainly due to (i) better collection of
accounts receivables, (ii) a shareholder loan in the amount of $1,032,000, and
(iii) an increase in net income as compared to June 30, 2009.
There are
no other lines of credit available to us to refinance our short-term bank loans.
Additionally, we currently do not have any other sources of financing available
to us for refinancing our short-term loans. As of June 30, 2010, we are current
with all of our bank debt and compliant with all the terms of our bank
debt.
Financing
Needs
Although
we currently do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, we
expect our capital requirements to increase over the next several years as we
continue to support the growth of our business, develop, manufacture and market
larger scale solutions, support our growing manufacturing and finance needs,
continue the development and testing of our suite of products and systems,
respond to competitive pressures, increase management, marketing and
administration infrastructure, and embark on developing in-house business
capabilities and facilities. Our future liquidity and capital funding
requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the
levels and costs of our research and development initiatives, the cost of hiring
and training additional highly skilled professionals (mainly engineers and
technicians), qualified stronger management, sales and marketing personnel to
promote our products and the cost and timing of the expansion of our
development, manufacturing and marketing efforts.
Based on
our current business plan, we anticipate that our existing cash balances and
cash generated from future sales will be sufficient to permit us to conduct our
operations and to carry out our contemplated business plans for the next twelve
months. However, management may undertake additional debt or equity financings
to better enable Lapis to grow and meet its future operating and capital
requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to consummate such
offerings on favorable terms or at all. Currently, the only external sources of
liquidity are our bank facilities.
Results
of Operations
Three
and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June
30, 2009
Revenues
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $3,036,000 and $5,383,000,
respectively, as compared to $2,213,000 and $4,322,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009. This represents an increase of $823,000 or 37% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and an increase of $1,051,000 or 24% for the six
months ended June 30, 2010, when compared to the same periods of 2009. The
increase in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the same periods of 2009 is mainly the result of Lapis focusing on
its growing comprehensive electronics turn-key solutions market, which generated
larger scale transactions, as well as Lapis’s success in deepening its
cooperation with its major strategic current customers, which generated
additional business for Lapis. Lapis experienced a substantial change in the
source of the revenue. The portion of the revenue attributed to Enertec Systems
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is 92% and 95%, respectively,
of total revenues as compared to 74% and 78%, respectively, of total revenues
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Management believes that this
trend will continue and that by the end of 2010 most revenue will be derived
from the Enertec Systems business.
Gross
profit totaled approximately $1,331,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and
$2,226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The gross profit for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $520,000 and $1,063,000
respectively. Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three
months ended June 30, 2009 reflects a significant increase of $811,000 in the
gross profit, which represents an increase of 156%. Comparison of the six months
ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2009 reflects a significant
increase of $1,163,000 which represents an increase of 109% as compared to the
same period of 2009. The substantial increase in the gross profit is
attributable primarily to the increase in sales of the comprehensive system
solutions according to the new strategy. These system solutions combine better
utilization of our existing know-how with the performance of larger scale
projects with higher profitability.
9
Gross
profit as a percentage of sales was 44% and 41% for the three-and six-month
period ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 23.5% and 24.5% for the
three and six month period ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This increase is
primarily due to the transition into higher and more complex simulation systems,
from which the Company can achieve a higher gross margin in various
projects.
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, operating expenses totaled $547,000
and $1,132,000, respectively. This was an increase of $165,000 (43%) and
$400,000 (55%), respectively, when compared to $382,000 and $732,000 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This increase in
operating expenses is primarily due to the (i) change of control in Lapis in
November 2009 and the increased general and administrative expenses incurred as
a result of the new controlling shareholder's desire to strengthen the Lapis
and/or Enertec Systems management and corporate headquarters services to the
business unit; the company has recorded an approximately $80,000 write-off for
doubtful receivables in the last quarter of 2010 (ii) increase in research and
development expenses of $11,000 and $55,000, respectively, for three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009,
primarily due to Lapis’s efforts to develop its comprehensive systems and
solutions line of business, the development of its market, and the efforts made
by Lapis to develop new solutions tailored made for the major
customers.
Our net
profit was $558,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $654,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2010. This compares to a net profit of $49,000 in
the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $135,000 in the six months ended June
30, 2009. This represents an increase in net income of $509,000 (1,039%) and
$519,000 (384%), respectively, comparing the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2010 to the same periods in 2009. The increase was primarily the result
of sales of products with higher gross margins despite incurring increased
expenses as described above.
As of
June 30, 2010, we had two customers that accounted for approximately 89% of the
accounts receivables.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development costs are part of operating expenses. Research and development
costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $54,000 and
$119,000, respectively, compared to $43,000 and $64,000, respectively, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in research and
development costs is due to increased efforts in developing new products and
solutions.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Concentration
of Credit Risk - Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables
are limited to customers dispersed primarily across Israel. All trade
receivables are concentrated in the manufacturing and distribution of electronic
components segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to
business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a
concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment is
dependent upon the financial stability of this segment of the
economy.
Revenue
Recognition and Customer Deposits - Revenue is recorded as product is shipped,
the price has been fixed or determined, collectability is reasonably assured and
all material specific performance obligations have been completed. The product
sold by the Company is made to the specifications of each customer; sales
returns and allowances are allowed on a case-by-case basis, are not material to
the financial statements and are recorded as an adjustment to sales. Cash
payments received in advance are recorded as customer deposits.
10
Financial
Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank line of credit, short term bank
loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value at June
30, 2010 because of the relatively short maturity of the instruments. The fair
value of due from stockholder is not practical to estimate without incurring
excessive cost and is carried at cost at June 30, 2010. The carrying
value of the long-term debt approximate fair value at June 30, 2010 based upon
debt terms available for companies under similar terms.
Foreign
Currency Translation - Lapis has one wholly owned subsidiary, Enertec
Electronics, an Israeli corporation, and one majority owned subsidiary, Enertec
Systems, an Israeli corporation. The assets and liabilities of the foreign
subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and
expenses at average exchange rates in effect during the periods reported.
Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are recorded as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
Preparation
of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of
their significance to our consolidated financial statements, result primarily
from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently
uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements presented in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed
with the SEC on March 31, 2010, describe the significant accounting estimates
and policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There
were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the
three months ended June 30, 2010.

4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that
is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company
in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the SEC rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial
officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act the Company carried out an evaluation
with the participation of the Company’s management, including Mr. David Lucatz,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Mrs. Tali Dinar, the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the period ended June 30, 2010. Based
upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in
the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
11
Changes
in internal controls
Our
management, with the participation our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation as
to whether any change in our internal controls over financial
reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Based on that
evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that no change occurred in the Company's
internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30,
2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
