Item 1. Financial Statements. KVH INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2000 and 1999 (Unaudited) (1) The accompanying consolidated financial statements of KVH Industries, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements presented have not been audited by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 27, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available from the Company upon request. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the remainder of the year. (2) Inventories at September 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, include the costs of material, labor and factory overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following. 2000 1999 ----------- ------------- Raw materials $ 2,954,987 2,735,601 Work in process 141,708 350,128 Finished goods 536,518 586,540 ------------ ------------- $ 3,633,213 3,672,269 ============ ============= Defense project inventories are included in the balance sheet caption "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts." Defense project inventories amounted to $444,319 and $163,044 at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Defense contracts provide for project costs reimbursement as costs are incurred, through monthly invoicing of vouchers or progress billings. (3) On January 11, 1999, we entered into a mortgage loan in the amount of $3,000,000 with a life insurance company. The mortgage term is 10 years, with a principal amortization of 20 years at a fixed rate of interest of 7%. Due to the difference in the term of the note and the amortization of principal, a balloon payment is due on February 1, 2009, in the amount of $2,014,716. (4) On March 27, 2000, we entered into a $5.0 million asset-based, three-year, revolving loan facility with interest at the prime bank lending rate plus 1%. Unused portions of the revolving credit facility accrue interest at an annual rate of 50 basis points. The loan facility advances funds based upon an asset availability formula that includes our eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The availability formula sets aside a fixed amount of qualified assets that may not be borrowed against. We may terminate the loan prior to the full term, however, we would become liable for certain termination fees. At September 30, 2000, we had $2,447,900 available under the line of credit to be drawn upon as needed.

Results of Operations Company Overview KVH Industries, Inc., is an international leader in developing and manufacturing innovative, mobile, high-bandwidth satellite communications systems, navigation products, and fiber optic sensors. Mobile Broadband Satellite Communications The company's award-winning mobile satellite communications systems have established KVH as a market leader. Our TracVision(R) and Tracphone(R) product families connect people on the move to satellite television, telephone, and Internet data services. Platforms using our TracVision satellite television antennas include pleasure and commercial marine craft as well as moving or stationary recreational and sports utility vehicles, motor coaches, vans, and long-haul trucks. Our Tracphone systems equip pleasure and commercial marine vessels with two-way voice, fax, and email with almost worldwide coverage via the mini-M satellite constellation operated by Inmarsat (the International Maritime Satellite Organization). Tactical Navigation In addition to a line of digital marine compasses for the commercial and recreational markets, we supply tactical land navigation systems to U.S. and allied armed forces around the globe. Our TACNAV(TM) product family is the most widely fielded, GPS-assisted military navigation system in the world, providing a critical link to digital battlefield management and tactical Internet systems for virtually every vehicle in the modern mobile military. Fiber Optic Products Over the past three years, we have completed the development of an array of fiber optic sensors and successfully brought them to market. In addition to using our proprietary fiber optic gyro technology to enhance the precision and durability of our own systems, our fiber optic technology is now being used to meet the growing demand for precise, cost-effective sensors in robotics, high-voltage current sensors, telecommunications networks, and other OEM applications. New Technology in Mobile Broadband Communications and Fiber Optics We are currently in the development stages of two new technologies that complement and expand our existing product lines and target markets. The first of these projects is the creation of photonic fiber and next-generation optical networking components. Our photonic fiber will enable us to build high-speed external modulators capable of speeds in excess of 100 GHz and costing substantially less to manufacture than optical chip-based solutions. This same photonic fiber technology may also serve as the platform for a variety of other new optical networking components, such as amplifiers, tunable Bragg fiber gratings, and simple optical switches. The second project is the development of ultra-low profile satellite antennas that will provide access to high-speed, two-way Internet services and satellite television signals aboard automobiles and other vehicles. Our intent is to build first a low-profile antenna suitable for use aboard sport utility vehicles, mini-vans, and other vehicles. Our long-term objective is to develop a photonic phased-array antenna that will be suitable in form, fit, function, and cost for mass-market automotive applications. In both of these cases, we are still in the early stages of development and both projects carry a significant risk of failure. We estimate that we will not know if our photonic fiber approach has merit until mid-2001. We also estimate that our low-profile antenna development will require at least twelve months of design effort before it can be released to the marketplace Summary of Operations Net profit and loss -- We completed the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, with net income of $18,238 or $0.00 per share, a 102% improvement over the 1999 third-quarter loss of $1,041,584 or $.14 per share. The improvement in quarterly net earnings was primarily due to communication and military revenue increases and increased customer-funded research and development that offset increases in both marketing and administration costs. Net losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, were $1,017,651 or $0.13 a share and $1,494,321 or $.21 a share, respectively. Year-to-date profit improvement of $476,670 or 32% was due to strong communication sales coupled with product cost improvements. The added gross profit resulting from increased sales and declining product costs was offset by investments in fiber optic research and sales costs associated with new product introductions. Net sales -- Net sales increased 56% to $7,461,492 in this year's third quarter from $4,781,389 in the comparable 1999 period. Communication sales increased 25% to $3,570,452 from $2,861,615 in 1999 due to continuing strong sales of our land mobile satellite television products. Total navigation sales rose 102 % to $3,891,040 from $1,919,774 in 1999, due to military sales gains of $1,585,750 or 245% over the prior year. Growth in military sales resulted from a large non-recurring order that shipped in the quarter. For the nine-month period, total revenues increased 22% to $21,109,261 from $17,280,203 in 1999. Significant growth in mobile satellite television product sales throughout the current year resulted in a 46% increase in communications revenues to $12,428,864 from $8,488,854 in 1999. Growth of communication sales offset a navigation year-to-date sales decline of $110,952 that resulted from an anticipated decrease in first quarter military sales. Looking ahead, we anticipate continued long-term growth in our communications product area as we develop and introduce smaller, low profile satellite antennas. Military sales are expected to add significantly to this year's fourth quarter results and we are optimistic as we forecast continued military order growth in 2001. Our military sales outlook must be tempered by the timing of military orders, which are difficult to predict due to the wide range of difficulties that can arise in the government procurement process. Fiber optic product sales are expanding rapidly as they exit the development phase. We anticipate accelerating FOG sales growth in the coming quarter driven by sales of open-loop gyros for military applications. We believe that longer-term growth of FOG products will result from new product offerings such as our fiber optic current sensor that is used to help manage large electrical power grids. In addition, if our product concept proves successful, we anticipate that the successful development of photonic fiber for use in high-speed fiber optic network applications has the potential to dramatically increase FOG sales. All of our new product developments carry significant risks and we can not provide assurance that we will succeed in these development activities. Gross profit -- Gross profit is comprised of revenues less the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overheads and warranty costs. Gross profit for the third quarter rose 102% to $3,007,356 or 40% of sales from $1,485,783 or 31% of sales in 1999. Improvement in quarterly gross profit resulted from increased high-margin military shipments, continuing growth of communications products and improved communication product costs that offset the impact of negative FOG product margins. FOG revenues continued to fall short of fully absorbing fixed manufacturing overheads, resulting in a product margin loss of $271,490 or 4% when expressed as a percentage of total sales. Gross profit for the nine-month periods increased to $7,785,815 in 2000 from $5,931,015 in 1999, or 37% and 34%, respectively, when expressed as a percentage of sales. Year-to-date gross profit improvement is largely due to consistent growth in mobile communications sales throughout 2000 and third quarter gains in military sales. Year-to-date FOG sales failed to fully absorb fixed manufacturing overheads resulting in a product margin loss of $594,777, almost 3% when expressed as a percentage of total sales. We anticipate gross profit to increase in this year's fourth quarter as forecast FOG sales increases are expected to provide positive margins. Higher margin military orders are expected to accelerate in the fourth quarter, which will add to the positive impact of FOG margin improvement. Longer term, gross profit improvement will be dependent on continued FOG sales growth, expansion of military orders, a continuation of our current positive communications sales trends and our ability to manage our manufacturing spending as we increase production volumes. Operating expenses -- Quarterly operating expenses decreased by $150,898 or 5%, to $2,920,995 from $3,071,893 in 1999 due to increased customer-funding of research efforts. Customer funded research is accounted for as revenue and the associated costs are transferred out of the research and development cost category, into cost of sales, reducing research and development expense. Third quarter funded research was associated with military contracts and government research grants. Selling and administrative costs increased $125,015, as variable-selling costs grew in proportion with increased sales volumes and administration costs rose due to higher than anticipated professional fees. In the nine-month period, operating expenses increased in absolute dollars by $716,203 or 8% to $9,144,095 in the current year from $8,427,892 in 1999, but declined as a percentage of revenues to 43% from 49% in the prior year. Year-to-date spending increases were due to variable selling expenses growing proportionately with increased sales and the added costs of introducing new products. Looking ahead, we anticipate a continuation of customer-funded engineering that will decrease our research and development expenses, while selling expenses are anticipated to increase as we introduce new products. Should we decide to accelerate our long-term product development initiatives that are discussed in this narrative, we will incur significant cost increases in both research and development and marketing and sales costs over the next twelve months. Other income (expense) - Other income (expense) is made up of interest income and expense, other income and expense and foreign currency translation gains and losses. Interest (expense) income, net - Interest expense results from our mortgage loan and our bank line of credit. Prior year interest income resulted from the income derived by the investment of excess funds in short-term fully guaranteed government securities. Foreign currency gain (loss) - Foreign currency gains and losses result from the translation of our Danish subsidiary assets, liabilities and operating results from Danish krone into United States dollars. The relative strength of the dollar versus the krone determines translation gains and losses. Income taxes - The third-quarter income tax expense reflects the tax associated with the current quarter operating profit. Our effective income tax rate for 2000 has been established at 38% of the operating result after adjustment for certain items. Our effective income tax rate may change during the remainder of 2000 if operating results differ significantly from current operating projections. Liquidity and capital resources Working capital amounted to $7,215,935 at September 30, 2000. Cash and cash equivalents were $841,196 and $2,047,838, respectively, at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. The trend in operating results is anticipated to improve through the fourth quarter of this year due to continued sales growth and cost initiatives we have undertaken. We believe current operating trends will rapidly improve our working capital position and increase our availability under our $5,000,000 revolving credit facility. We believe that existing cash balances and funds available under our bank revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements for 2000. If we decide to expand more rapidly, to broaden or enhance products more rapidly, to acquire businesses or technologies or to make other significant expenditures to remain competitive, then we may need to raise additional funds. We are currently assessing the feasibility of two major product development projects, which, if undertaken, will require significant funds. Should we move ahead with either project we will actively begin to raise funds through customer funding, corporate partnering, sale of equity or a combination of these sources. Other Matters Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." The Statement addresses a number of issues, including the Derivatives Implementation Group process, causing implementation difficulties for numerous entities that apply SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. We do not expect SFAS 133 or SFAS 138 to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In March 2000, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." The interpretation clarifies certain matters concerning the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and is generally effective beginning July 1, 2000. We do not currently believe either of the above pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Inflation The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its results of operations. Forward Looking Statements - "Risk Factors" This "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results. In a broad perspective, our products target industries that are subject to volatility, risks and uncertainties. The communications industry is experiencing rapid growth fueled by strong worldwide demand and buffeted by competing formats and rapid, unpredictable technology changes. The defense industry historically experience variability in supply and demand related to international conditions, national politics, budget decisions and technology changes, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict. Specific internal risk factors that could affect our financial stability include: For some time now, we have been experiencing long delays in finalizing military contracts. The resulting lack of revenues has been a large factor in reducing our gross margins and increasing our quarterly net losses. While sales began to recover in the second quarter and a number of project bids are in process, we cannot guarantee that we will receive orders or that significant delays will not continue. Since our military systems are designed for very specific applications, we do not have sufficient military product breadth to provide us with consistent high-margin revenues when periodic purchasing fluctuations occur. If one or more of our third-party suppliers do not provide us with key components, then we may not be able to deliver our products to our customers in a timely manner and we may incur substantial costs to obtain these components from alternate sources. Currently, we rely on single source suppliers for a number of essential components for our systems. An interruption in supply from these sources or an unexpected termination of the manufacture of our key components would disrupt production and adversely affect our ability to deliver products to our customers. Unexpected terminations of supplies would require us to shift to other suppliers, which could delay product shipments since we do not produce these components in-house. Our product dependency upon the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the satellites, antennas, technologies and services of companies such as GM Hughes Electronics, PanAmSat Corp., Gilat Satellite Networks, Inmarsat Holdings Ltd., Motorola Inc., DIRECTV, and EchoStar Communications Corp. makes their risks our risks. We have no means of providing communications and navigation services should these capabilities external to KVH fail. In addition, our new product designs anticipate advances by these companies that may take longer than anticipated or not occur. Greater broadband access, for instance, may not be available if new satellites from Hughes and other companies malfunction, have launch failures, or are delayed past currently scheduled dates beginning in 2001. The company's growth is largely dependent upon the timely introduction of new product offerings. Should we fail to complete product developments in a timely fashion, our sales growth could slow and we could lose our leadership position in our selected markets. Advanced product research and development outcomes are difficult to predict and we may fail to achieve our product research objectives. Although we have significant experience in developing new products, there can be no assurance that we can successfully execute our long-term product development strategy, or can we predict that our long-term product development strategy will successfully compete with future technology advances. Variations in our operating results and product failures could affect the trading price of our Common Stock, which has been subject to wide fluctuations. A decrease in our market capitalization could affect our ability to secure loans that are necessary for us to continue developing and marketing new products.

Part II. Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings. In the ordinary course of business, KVH is a party to legal proceedings and claims. In addition, from time to time we have contractual disagreements with certain customers concerning our products and services. The Company believes that these ordinary claims will not have a material effect on operations or capital resources. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
