ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
NAPCO Security Systems, Inc. ("NAPCO") was incorporated in December 1971 in the State of Delaware for the purpose of acquiring National Alarm Products Co., Inc., a New Jersey corporation founded in 1969 ("National"). In December 1971, NAPCO issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), to the stockholders of National in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of National, after which National was merged into NAPCO.
NAPCO and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are engaged in the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of security alarm products and door security devices (the "Products") for commercial and residential installations.
Products
Alarm Systems. Alarm systems usually consist of various detectors, a control panel, a digital keypad and signaling equipment. When a break-in occurs, an intrusion detector senses the intrusion and activates a control panel via hard-wired or wireless transmission that sets off the signaling equipment and, in most cases, causes a bell or siren to sound. Communication equipment such as a digital communicator may be used to transmit the alarm signal to a central station or another person selected by a customer.
The Company manufactures and markets the following products for alarm systems:
Automatic Communicators. When a control panel is activated by a signal from an intrusion detector, it activates a communicator that can automatically dial one or more predesignated telephone numbers. If programmed to do so, a digital communicator dials the telephone number of a central monitoring station and communicates in computer language to a digital communicator receiver, which prints out an alarm message.
Control Panels. A control panel is the "brain" of an alarm system. When activated by any one of the various types of intrusion detectors, it can activate an audible alarm and/or various types of communication devices. For marketing purposes, the Company refers to its control panels by the trade name, generally "Magnum AlertTM" followed by a numerical designation.
Combination Control Panels/Digital Communicators and Digitkey Systems. A combination control panel, digital communicator and a digital keypad (a plate with push button numbers as on a telephone, which eliminates the need for
mechanical keys) has continued to grow rapidly in terms of dealer and consumer preference. Benefits of the combination format include the cost efficiency resulting from a single micro-computer function, as well as the reliability and ease of installation gained from the simplicity and sophistication of micro-computer technology.
Door Security Devices. The Company manufactures a variety of exit alarm locks ranging from simple dead bolt locks to door alarms.
Fire Alarm Control Panel. Multi-zone fire alarm control panels which accommodate an optional digital communicator for reporting to a central station are also manufactured by the Company.
Area Detectors. The Company's area detectors are both passive infra-red heat detectors and combination microwave/ passive infra-red detectors that are linked to alarm control panels. Passive infra-red heat detectors respond to the change in heat patterns caused by an intruder moving within a protected area. Combination units respond to both changes in heat patterns and changes in microwave patterns occurring at the same time.
Peripheral Equipment
The Company also markets peripheral and related equipment manufactured by other companies. Revenues from peripheral equipment have not been significant.
Research and Development
The Company's business involves a high technology element. A substantial amount of the Company's efforts are expended to develop and improve the Products. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and 1994, the Company expended approximately $3,296,000, $3,252,000, and $2,883,000, respectively, on Company- sponsored research and development activities conducted by its engineering department and outside consultants. Substantially all of the Company's research and development activities during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 were conducted by its engineering department. The Company intends to continue to conduct a significant portion of its future research and development activities internally.
Employees
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 990 full-time employees.
Marketing and Major Customers
The Company's staff of approximately 36 sales and marketing support employees located at the Company's headquarters sells and
markets the Products directly to independent distributors and wholesalers of security alarm and security hardware equipment. Management estimates that these channels of distribution represented approximately 85% of the Company's total sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The Company's sales representatives periodically contact existing and potential customers to introduce new products and create demand for those as well as other Company products. These sales representatives, together with the Company's technical personnel, provide training and other services to wholesalers and distributors so that they can better service the needs of their customers. In addition to direct sales efforts, the Company advertises in technical trade publications and participates in trade shows in major United States cities. Some of the Company's products are marketed under the "private label" of certain customers.
Sales to A.D.T., Ademco Distribution (A.D.I.), and King Alarm, each unaffiliated with the Company, together accounted for approximately 42% and 39% of the Company's total sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (see footnote 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as to percentage breakdown). The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.
Competition
The security alarm products industry is highly competitive. The Company's primary competitors are comprised of approximately 30 other companies that manufacture and market security equipment to distributors, dealers, central stations and original equipment manufacturers. The Company believes that no one of these competitors is dominant in the industry. Certain of these companies may have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.
The Company competes primarily on the basis of the features, quality, reliability and price of, and the incorporation of the latest innovative and technological advances into, its Products. The Company also competes by offering technical support services to its customers. In addition, the Company competes on the basis of its expertise, its proven products, reputation and its ability to provide Products to customers without delay. The inability of the Company to compete with respect to any one or more of the aforementioned factors could have an adverse impact on the Company's business. Relatively low-priced "do-it-yourself" alarm system products have become available in past years and are available to the public at retail stores. The Company believes that these products compete with the Company only to a limited extent because they appeal primarily to the "do-it-yourself" segment of the market. Purchasers of such systems do not receive professional consultation, installation, service or the sophistication that the Company's Products provide.
Raw Materials and Backlog
The Company prepares specifications for component parts used in the Products and purchases the components from outside sources or fabricates the component part itself. These components, if standard, are generally readily available; if specially designed for the Company, there is usually more than one alternative source of supply available to the Company on a competitive basis. The Company generally maintains inventories of all critical components. The Company for the most part is not dependent on any one source for its raw materials.
In general, orders for the Products are processed by the Company from inventory. A backlog of approximately $5,300,000 existed as of June 30, 1996, partially due to several large orders received during the fourth quarter. This compared to a backlog of approximately $5,152,000 a year ago.
Government Regulation
The Company's telephone dialers, microwave transmitting devices utilized in its motion detectors and any new communication equipment that may be introduced from time to time by the Company must comply with standards promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in the United States and similar agencies in other countries where the Company offers such products, specifying permitted frequency bands of operation, permitted power output and periods of operation, as well as compatibility with telephone lines. Each new Product of the Company that is subject to such regulation must be tested for compliance with FCC standards or the standards of such similar governmental agencies. Test reports are submitted to the FCC or such similar agencies for approval.
Patents
The Company has been granted several patents and trademarks relating to the Products. While the Company obtains patents and trademarks as it deems appropriate, the Company does not believe that its current or future success is dependent on its patents.
Foreign Sales
The revenues, operating income and identifiable assets attributable to the foreign and domestic operations of the Company for its last three fiscal years, and the amount of export sales in the aggregate, are summarized in the following tabulation.
Financial Information Relating to Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales(1)
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
The Company has executive offices and production and warehousing facilities at 333 Bayview Avenue, Amityville, New York. This facility consists of a fully-utilized 90,000 square foot building on a six acre plot. This six acre plot provides the Company with space for expansion of office, manufacturing and storage capacities. The Company constructed this facility with the proceeds from an industrial revenue bond financing in 1985.
The Company's foreign subsidiary, NSS Caribe, S.A., is located in the Dominican Republic where it owns a building of approximately 167,000 square feet of production and warehousing space. That subsidiary also leases the land associated with this building under a 99 year lease expiring in the year 2092. - -------- (1) Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
(2) Export sales from the United States in fiscal year 1996 included sales of approximately $4,888,000 and $2,224,000 to Europe and North America, respectively. Export sales from the United States in fiscal year 1995 included sales of approximately $5,038,000 and $1,523,000 to Europe and North America, respectively.
As of June 30, 1996, most of the Company's sales related to labor on assemblies, goods and subassemblies at these sites, utilizing U.S. quality control standards.
Management believes that these facilities are more than adequate to meet the needs of the Company in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
There are no pending or threatened material legal proceedings to which NAPCO or its subsidiaries or any of their property is subject, other than as follows:
In May, 1995 the Company was advised of an unexpected Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing of one of its customers. As a result of anticipated cash recoveries, management is confident that the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 1996 is sufficient and that this bankruptcy filing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In August 1995, the Internal Revenue Service informed the Company that it had completed the audit of the Company's Federal tax returns for fiscal years 1987 through 1992. The Internal Revenue Service has issued a report to the Company proposing adjustments that would result in taxes due of approximately $4.3 million, excluding interest charges. The primary adjustments presented by the Internal Revenue Service relate to intercompany pricing and royalty charges, DISC earnings and charitable contributions. The Company disagrees with the IRS and intends to vigorously appeal this assessment using all remedies and procedural actions available under the law. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves at June 30, 1996 to address the ultimate resolution of this matter, so that it will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. (See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
Principal Market
NAPCO's Common Stock became publicly traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market in 1972. In December 1981, the Common Stock was approved for reporting by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "NSSC", and in November 1984 the Common Stock was designated by NASDAQ as a National Market System Security, which has facilitated the development of an established public trading market for the Common Stock. The tables set forth below reflect the range of high and low sales of the Common Stock in each quarter of the past two fiscal years as reported by the NASDAQ National Market System.
Approximate Number of Security Holders
The number of holders of record of NAPCO's Common Stock as of September 23, 1996 was 272 (such number does not include beneficial owners of stock held in nominee name).
Dividend Information
NAPCO has declared no cash dividends during the past three years with respect to its Common Stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash on hand combined with proceeds from operating activities during fiscal 1996 were adequate to meet the Company's capital expenditure needs and short and long-term debt obligations. The primary source of financing related to borrowings under $2,000,000 short-term line of credit and an $11,000,000 secured revolving credit and term loan facility with two banks. The Company expects that cash generated from operations and cash available under the Company's bank line of credit will be adequate to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. The Company's primary internal source of liquidity is the cash flow
- ---------------
(1) The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend on its common stock. It is the policy of the Board of Directors to retain earnings for use in the Company's business.
generated from operations. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's unused sources of funds consisted principally of $426,000 in cash and approximately $425,000 (after direct borrowings, commercial letters of credit and stand-by letters of credit) which represent the unused portion of its secured short-term borrowing facility.
On July 27, 1994, the Company entered into an $11,000,000 secured revolving credit and term loan facility with two banks, with the Company's primary bank acting as agent. The revolving credit loan, which bears interest based upon a number of options available to the Company and does not require principal payments until conversion, converts to a term loan on June 30, 1997 payable in sixteen (16) equal quarterly installments beginning on September 30, 1997.
In addition, a subsidiary of the Company maintains a $4,500,000 line of credit with another bank, $3,375,000 of which was outstanding as of June 30, 1996 (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The Company takes into consideration a number of factors in measuring its liquidity, including the ratios set forth below:
In fiscal 1988, the Company completed construction of a new manufacturing and administrative facility financed by a $3.9 million industrial revenue bond issue bearing interest at a variable rate determined weekly by the underwriting bank based upon market conditions. During fiscal 1996, the average interest rate was approximately 3.45% per annum. The bonds have a maturity date of April 1, 2000, subject to quarterly sinking fund payments.
On April 26, 1993, the Company's foreign subsidiary entered into a 99-year land lease of approximately 4 acres of land near its former facility in the Dominican Republic, at an annual cost of approximately $272,000.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for purchases or capital expenditures.
Working Capital. Working capital increased by $16,000 to $28,676,000 at June 30, 1996 from $28,660,000 at June 30, 1995. This was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, which was a result of increased inventories on new product lines. This was partially offset by reductions in short term debt and increased accounts receivable.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable increased by $112,000 to $13,759,000 at June 30, 1996 from $13,647,000 at June 30, 1995. This increase is primarily the result of higher sales in June 1996 as compared to June 1995 as partially offset by improved collection procedures.
Inventory. Inventory increased by $1,766,000 to $25,944,000 at June 30, 1996 as compared to $24,178,000 at June 30, 1995. This increase is due primarily to the effect of the Company's building up of inventory levels in conjunction with the introduction of several new product lines, including the wireless program, the new Digital Lock product line and wireless product related to a large contract the Company received.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $2,927,000 to $7,700,000 at June 30, 1996 from $4,773,000 at June 30, 1995. This increase is primarily the result of increased inventories as described above as well as more favorable credit terms negotiated with the Company's vendors.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995
Revenue. Revenue in fiscal 1996 increased approximately $1,010,000 or 2.1% to $49,088,000 from $48,078,000 in fiscal 1995. This increase was achieved despite a continued general price erosion in the marketplace.
Gross Profits. The Company's gross profits remained relatively flat at $11,302,000 or 23% of sales in fiscal 1996 as compared to $11,325,000 or 23.6% of sales in fiscal 1995. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the aforementioned general price erosion in the marketplace, as partially offset by improvements in the Company's manufacturing efficiency.
Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996 decreased 6.9% or $620,000 to $8,374,000 or 17.1% of sales from $8,994,000 or 18.7% of sales in fiscal 1995. This decrease is primarily the result of reductions in professional
fees from those incurred in fiscal 1995. In addition, further decreases in expenses were achieved as a result of the continuation of general cost control procedures established by management.
Other Expenses. Other Expenses in fiscal 1996 increased 8.7% or $112,000 to $1,399,000 from $1,287,000 in fiscal 1995. This increase is primarily the result of an unfavorable shift in the UK Pounds Sterling exchange rates.
Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $17,000 to $515,000 or approximately 34% of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal 1996. This compared to a provision of $532,000 or approximately 51% of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal 1995. The higher effective income tax rate in 1995 was primarily due to the recording of additional income taxes related to DISC earnings that no longer qualify for tax deferral.
Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994
Revenue. Revenue in fiscal 1995 increased approximately $1,205,000, or 2.6%, to $48,078,000 from $46,873,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase is primarily the result of increased export sales. In addition, the Company was able to achieve this increase despite the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing of one of its major customers.
Gross Profits. The Company's gross profits increased $257,000 to $11,325,000 or 23.6% of the sales in fiscal 1995 from $11,068,000 or 23.6% of sales in fiscal 1994. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the higher sales, as previously discussed.
Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1995 increased 1.6% or $142,000 to $8,994,000 or 18.7% of sales from $8,852,000 or 18.9% of sales in fiscal 1994. This increase is the result of additional legal fees associated with the litigation and settlement between the Company and C&K and additional bad debt expense related to the bankruptcy of one of the Company's major customers. Offsetting these additional expenses were decreases resulting from general cost control procedures established by management.
Other Expenses. Other expenses in fiscal 1995 increased 39.2% to $1,287,000 from $925,000 in fiscal 1994. This increase is principally the result of increased interest expense due to increased borrowings attributable to the construction of the Company's manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic, as well as higher interest rates.
Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $495,000 to $532,000 or approximately 51% of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal 1995. This compared to
a provision of $37,000 or 3% of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal 1994. This increase is primarily attributable to the accrual of taxes on previously deferred DISC earnings. (See Item 3 and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Effects of Inflation
During the three-year period ended June 30, 1996, inflation and changing prices did not have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Napco Security Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is engaged principally in the development, manufacture and distribution of security devices for commercial and residential use.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Napco Security Systems, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates
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 and disclosure of contingent gains and losses at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (using the FIFO, first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets using primarily the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 35 years. The recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets is evaluated on a recurring basis. The primary indicators of recoverability are current and forecasted profitability of the acquired business. In the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, there were no adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs associated with the issuance of the Industrial Revenue Bonds (see Note 6 (c)), and from obtaining the revolving credit and term loan facility (see Note 6(a)) are being amortized over the respective terms of the related debt.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the Company's products to its customers.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the amounts reflected for financial reporting and tax purposes. The provision for income taxes represents U.S. Federal and state taxes on income generated from U.S. operations. Income generated by the Company's foreign subsidiary is non-taxable. The Company accounts for the research and development credit as a reduction of income tax expense in the year in which such credits are allowable for tax purposes.
In prior years, the Company did not provide for income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its Domestic International Sales Corporation ("DISC") subsidiary because it was the Company's intent to continue the subsidiary's qualification for tax deferral. Due to the shifting of manufacturing outside the U.S., management determined in fiscal 1995 that the DISC no longer qualified for continued tax deferral. As a result, previously deferred earnings of the DISC totalling $2,031,000 must now be reported as taxable income over a ten-year period in the Company's future tax returns. The respective tax liability was recorded in fiscal 1995.
The Company does not provide for income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary because such earnings are reinvested abroad and it is the intention of management that such earnings will continue to be reinvested abroad. As of June 30, 1996 and 1995, approximately $17,206,000 and $16,441,000 in cumulative earnings of the foreign subsidiary are included in consolidated retained earnings.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents (options) outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per share does not materially differ from the earnings per share presented in the consolidated statements of income.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
2. INVENTORIES:
Inventories, net, at June 30, 1996 and 1995, consist of the following:
3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:
Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment was approximately $1,222,000, $1,189,000 and $1,304,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
4. INCOME TAXES:
In August 1995, the Internal Revenue Service informed the Company that it had completed the audit of the Company's Federal tax returns for fiscal years 1987 through 1992. The Internal Revenue Service has issued a report to the Company proposing adjustments that would result in taxes due of approximately $4.3 million, excluding interest charges. The primary adjustments presented by the Internal Revenue Service relate to intercompany pricing and royalty charges, DISC earnings and charitable contributions. The Company disagrees with the IRS and intends to vigorously appeal this assessment using all remedies and procedural actions available under the law. The Company believes that it has provided an adequate reserve to address the ultimate resolution of this matter, so that it will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows (in thousands):
As a result of the U.S. operations generating income in fiscal 1996 and 1995, management now believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets existing at June 30, 1996 and 1995. Accordingly, the Company has not reflected any valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at June 30, 1996 and 1995. Furthermore, management believes that the existing net deductible temporary differences will reverse during periods in which the Company generates net taxable income. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will generate taxable earnings or any specific level of continuing earnings in the future.
Provision for income taxes consists of the following:
The difference between the statutory United States Federal income tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate as reflected in the consolidated statements of income is as follows:
Foreign income taxes are not provided on income generated by the Company's subsidiary in the Dominican Republic, as such income is presently exempt from local income tax.
5. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANK:
On March 31, 1995, the Company amended its existing revolving credit and term loan facility to provide for an additional $2,000,000 secured line of credit. As of June 30, 1995, outstanding borrowings under this line amounted to $500,000. At June 30, 1995, the interest rate on this line was approximately 11.0%. In 1995, the maximum month end borrowings outstanding under this line of credit was $500,000 and the weighted average interest rate was 10.6%. The balance under this line was fully paid in October 1995.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT:
Long-term debt consists of the following:
(a) On July 27, 1994, the Company entered into an $11,000,000 secured revolving credit and term loan facility with two banks, with the Company's primary bank acting as an agent. In conjunction with this agreement, the banks received as collateral all accounts receivable and inventory located in the United States. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company used the proceeds, among other things, to refinance notes payable to its primary bank, finance a temporary increase of inventory and finance the completion of the construction of a manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic. The revolving credit loan, which bears interest based on a number of options available to the Company (weighted average rate of approximately 8.7% and 8.3% for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively) and does not require principal payments until conversion, converts to a term loan on June 30, 1997 payable in (16) sixteen equal quarterly installments beginning on September 30, 1997. The agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including, among others, restrictions on payment of dividends, restrictions on borrowings, restrictions on capital expenditures, the maintenance of minimum amounts of tangible net worth, and compliance with other certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. As of June 30, 1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these financial covenants for which it has received appropriate waivers from the banks.
(b) In November 1991, the Company renegotiated the terms of its $6,000,000 unsecured note payable to the Company's primary bank. The note was paid in full in fiscal 1996. Interest on the note was payable monthly at a rate determined periodically based on a number of options available to the Company. At June 30, 1995, the interest rate on the note was 9.52%.
In addition, in November 1991, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a $4,500,000 line of credit agreement with another bank in connection with the Company's international operations. The line is secured by a letter of credit from the Company's primary bank. Interest on amounts outstanding under this line is payable quarterly at a rate determined periodically based on a number of options available to the Company. The balance outstanding under the line as of December 31, 1994 automatically converted to a term loan payable in 20 equal quarterly installments commencing on that date. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the amounts outstanding under this line were $3,375,000 and $4,050,000 at interest rates of 5.73% and 6.27%, respectively.
Under the terms of the agreement, all advances under the line must be used to pay for certain specified costs incurred by this subsidiary. In addition, the terms of the agreement limit, among other things, the amount of additional debt or liens that may be incurred and prohibit the payment of dividends by this subsidiary.
On August 27, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with its primary bank to increase an existing $2,500,000 letter of credit agreement to $4,500,000 for the purpose of providing additional collateral for the construction of a manufacturing facility in the Dominican Republic. In conjunction with this agreement, the bank received as collateral a first priority perfected security interest in all accounts receivable of the Company and a second mortgage on the Company's facility located in Amityville, New York with a lien of up to $1,500,000. This agreement expires on February 28, 1997.
(c) In 1985, the Company received $3,900,000 in proceeds from Industrial Revenue Bonds issued by the Town of Babylon (the "Town") to be used for the purchase of land and the construction of a new office and manufacturing facility. Title to the land and building will be held by the Town as security for the bonds, and the Town leases the facility to the Company under an agreement which provides for the purchase of the facilities by the Company for $1 at the completion of the lease term. The lease has been accounted for as a capital lease. The bonds bear interest at a variable rate which is determined weekly by the underwriting bank based upon market conditions. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the interest rate was approximately 3.1% and 3.7%, respectively.
The bonds have a maturity date of April 1, 2000; however, principal repayment is to be accomplished through quarterly payments of $75,000 made to a sinking fund held by a trustee. On each July 1 through and including July 1, 1999, the bonds shall be redeemed, in part, prior to their maturity, in the amount of $300,000 from the sinking fund at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount so redeemed.
The Company's primary bank has issued an irrevocable letter of credit, covering the outstanding balance of the bonds plus 50 days of interest cost to the trustee of the bonds as security for the Company's obligations under the various arrangements.
The bonds may be tendered, at any time, at the election of the holder, at a price of 100% of the unpaid principal balance. At the time of notice of tender, the remarketing agent will use its best efforts to remarket the tendered bonds. The bank, as part of the letter of credit arrangement, is obligated through April 12, 2000 to purchase any of the bonds which are not remarketed.
Under the terms of the bond indenture the Company is required, among other things, to maintain certain levels of working capital and tangible net worth, is restricted in the amount of acquisitions of fixed assets and other investments it may make and must maintain certain financial ratios. The Company was not in compliance with certain of these financial covenants at June 30, 1996 for which it has received appropriate waivers.
Maturities of long-term debt (including sinking fund payments) are as follows (in thousands):
7. STOCK OPTIONS:
In November 1992, the stockholders approved a 10-year extension of the already existing 1982 incentive stock option plan. Shares of common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted to officers and key employees under the extended 1982 plan. The plan provides that the exercise price of each option shall equal 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options are exercisable 20% per year and expire five years after the date of grant. Transactions and other information relating to the plan for the three years ended June 30, 1996 are summarized as follows:
Options representing 35,100 shares were exercisable at June 30, 1996.
Effective October 1990, the Company established a non-employee stock option plan to encourage non-employee directors and consultants of the Company to invest in the Company's stock. The plan provides that the option price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options are exercisable at 20% per year and expire five years after the date of grant. At June 30, 1996, 50,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123). This Statement is effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995, with earlier application permitted. Although the statement encourages entities to adopt the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options, the Company intends to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Adoption of SFAS 123 will require the Company to disclose additional information relating to the stock option plan and the Company's pro forma net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value of the options granted were expensed over the period in which the related employees' services were rendered.
8. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS:
Research and development costs charged to cost of sales were approximately $3,296,000, $3,252,000 and $2,883,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
9. 401(k) PLAN:
Effective August 31, 1985, the Company established a 401(k) plan covering all employees with one or more years of service. The plan is qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company provides for matching contributions of 50% of the first 2% of employee contributions. Company contributions to the plan totaled approximately $48,000, $56,000 and $59,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
10. BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS:
The Company is engaged in one major line of business - the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of security alarm products and door security devices for commercial and residential installations. Most of the Company's sales to unaffiliated customers are shipped from the United States. Most of the Company's customers are located throughout the United States and Europe. Identifiable assets (net of intercompany receivables and payables) relating to the Company's foreign operations were approximately $24,235,000, $19,708,000 and $22,513,000 at June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Export sales amounted to $8,915,000, $8,865,000 and $7,795,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company had three customers with accounts receivable balances that aggregated 58% and 51% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively. Revenues from the three largest customers are summarized as follows:
