AND SUBSDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (of a normal and recurring nature), which are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the quarter and six month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for future periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. 2. ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS: On March 15, 2005, Sparks Exhibits & Environments Corp., a subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed specified liabilities of Showtime Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiary, Showtime Enterprises West, Inc. (collectively "Showtime"). Showtime designed, marketed and produced trade show exhibits, point of purchase displays, museums and premium incentive plans. Showtime had sales of approximately $21 million in 2004. The aggregate purchase price was $6.3 million, comprised of $2.8 million paid in cash, $1.7 million for contingent royalty and percentage of sales payments, $1 million of long-term debt assumption and $0.8 million for stock warrants. The Company financed this acquisition by increasing its revolving credit facility borrowing capacity and obtaining a new term loan. The Company's Audit Committee engaged the Company's registered public accounting firm to perform the required audit of Showtime's financial statements. It was subsequently determined that such audit could not be performed. The inability to file these audited financial statements may limit the Company's ability to engage in certain types of transactions requiring Securities and Exchange Commission review, including without limitation, public offerings and certain private offerings of securities and business combination transactions requiring shareholder approval. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are summarized in the following table. The allocation of the purchase price to the business acquired is preliminary and may be adjusted based on completion of third party appraisals. At March 15, 2005 (in thousands) Current assets $1,880 Property, equipment and rental assets 812 Covenants not to compete 570 Customer relationships 4,570 ------ $7,832 Current liabilities $1,537 Long-term debt 982 Other long-term liabilities 1,775 Stock warrants 786 ------ Net assets acquired $2,752 ====== 5 MARLTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Covenants not to compete will be amortized over 6 years and customer relationships will be amortized over an estimated life of 10 years. The covenants not to compete and customer relationships will be reviewed annually by management for impairment. 3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATIONS: During the first six months of 2005, one customer accounted for 12.3% of the Company's total sales and another customer accounted for 11% of the Company's total sales. During the first six months of 2004, one of these customers accounted for 15.6% of the Company's total sales. At June 30, 2005, two customers accounted for 29.7% of total accounts receivable. At June 30, 2004 these customers accounted for 31% of total accounts receivable. 4.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Effective in the first quarter of 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS 146. This new accounting principle had an impact on the timing and recognition of costs associated with the Showtime acquisition and subsequent relocation and integration. In December 2004, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("FAS123(R)" or the "Statement"). FAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The effect of the Statement will require entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award. FAS 123(R) permits entities to use any option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement. The Company will be required to apply FAS 123(R) starting January 1, 2006. FAS 123(R) allows two methods for determining the effects of the transition: the modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective method of transition. Under the modified prospective transition method, an entity would use the fair value based accounting method for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date. As of the effective date, compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of awards outstanding as of that date would be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated under the original provisions of Statement No. 123; that is, an entity would not re-measure the grant-date fair value estimate of the unvested portion of awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R). An entity will have the further option to either apply the Statement to only the quarters in the period of adoption and subsequent periods, or apply the Statement to all quarters in the fiscal year of adoption. Under the modified retrospective method of transition, an entity would revise its previously issued financial statements to recognize employee compensation cost for prior periods presented in 7 MARLTON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.AND SUBSDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123. Although it has not yet completed its study of the transition methods, the Company believes it will elect the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the Company estimates that the adoption of FAS 123(R) would require the Company to record approximately $15,000 of stock compensation expense in 2005 related to employee options issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004 and $27,000 of stock compensation expense in 2005 related to employee options issued in the second quarter of 2005. Based on expected vesting of stock options outstanding at June 30, 2005, the Company may record compensation expense of approximately $300,000 beginning in 2006 through 2010. Any further impact of this Statement on the Company in fiscal 2005 and beyond will depend upon various factors including future compensation strategy. The pro forma compensation costs are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and may not be indicative of amounts which should be expected in future years. 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for grants of stock options under its stock option plans based on the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands except per share data): For the three months ended For the six months ended June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income, as reported $ 551 $ 507 $ 1,508 $ 1,412 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method, net of tax (62) (21) (92) (35) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Pro forma net income $ 489 $ 486 $ 1,416 $ 1,377 ========== ========== ========== ========== Earnings per share: Basic: As Reported $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ 0.12 $ 0.11 ========== ========== ========== ========== Pro forma $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ 0.11 $ 0.11 ========== ========== ========== ========== Diluted: As reported $ 0.03 $ 0.04 $ 0.09 $ 0.10 ========== ========== ========== ========== Pro forma $ 0.03 $ 0.03 $ 0.09 $ 0.10 ========== ========== ========== ========== The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Sales Three Months Ended (In thousands) June 30, 2005 June 30, 2004 % Increase --------------- --------------- --------------- Trade show exhibits group $ 17,466 $ 13,492 29.5% Permanent and scenic displays group 8,503 7,064 20.4 --------------- --------------- --------------- Total sales $ 25,969 $ 20,556 26.3% =============== =============== =============== Six Months Ended (In thousands) June 30, 2005 June 30, 2004 % Increase --------------- --------------- --------------- Trade show exhibits group $ 30,879 $ 26,701 15.6% Permanent and scenic displays group 13,926 12,404 12.3 --------------- --------------- --------------- Total sales $ 44,805 $ 39,105 14.6% =============== =============== =============== Total net sales of $26 million for the second quarter of 2005 increased 26.3% from the second quarter of 2004, and total net sales of $44.8 million for the first six months of 2005 increased 14.6% above the comparable prior year period. The second quarter increase was principally attributable to incremental sales of approximately $4 million resulting from the Showtime business acquired on March 15, 2005. The sales increase for the first six months of 2005 was primarily due to sales contributed by the Showtime business in the second quarter as well as to sales to new customers obtained in the second half of 2004. Gross Profit Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 22.6% in the second quarter of 2005 from 20.7% in the same prior year period and was essentially unchanged from 23% for the first six months periods. The second quarter improvement was due to several factors, including lease termination expense of $0.2 million accrued in the second quarter of 2004 in connection with the Company's consolidation of its West Coast operations and favorable second quarter 2005 sales mix realized for the Company's trade show exhibit businesses. The unchanged gross margin percentage for the first six months of 2005 was the net result of these second quarter factors, offset by transition costs incurred in connection with the Showtime business acquisition. 9 Selling Expenses Selling expenses increased $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.8 million for the first half of 2005 from the corresponding prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses increased to 10.8% and 11.1% in the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively, from 9.4% and 10.6% for the same 2004 periods. These increases were largely the result of transition costs incurred in connection with the Showtime business acquisition. Such costs are expected to decrease as a percentage of sales in the second half of 2005. Administrative and General Expenses Administrative and general expenses increased $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.3 million in the first half of 2005 from the expense levels for the comparable periods of 2004. The second quarter increase was primarily due to costs of $0.3 million to relocate the primary Showtime facility from Paulsboro, New Jersey to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and amortization expense of $0.2 related to the acquired Showtime assets. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2005 was due to these second quarter factors, partially offset by a net bad debt recovery of $0.4 million recognized in the first quarter of 2005. Operating Profit Operating profit increased to $703,000 for the second quarter of 2005 from $641,000 for the same 2004 period. For the first half of 2005, operating profit increased to $1.8 million from $1.6 million reported for the first half of 2004. These increases were primarily due to higher sales, largely offset by relocation and transition costs incurred in connection with the Showtime business acquisition. Other Income/(Expense) Interest expense increased to $187,000 in the second quarter of 2005 from $134,000 in the same 2004 period and to $322,000 for the first half of 2005 from $225,000 for the first half of 2004. These increases were primarily due to higher borrowing from the Company's revolving credit facility largely as a result of financing higher accounts receivable as well as the Showtime business acquisition and as a result of higher interest rates on the Company's credit facility discussed below. Provision for Income Taxes The Company is currently using operating loss carry forwards to offset its taxable income. As a result, the Company did not record an income tax provision in the first two quarters of 2005 or 2004. The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its operating loss carry forwards. This allowance is reviewed by management for possible recovery on a periodic basis. Net Income The Company generated net income of $551,000 ($0.03 per fully diluted share) in the second quarter of 2005 and $1.5 million ($0.09 per fully diluted share) in the first half of 2005 as compared with $507,000 ($0.04 per fully diluted share) and $1.4 million ($0.10 per fully diluted share) for the comparable 2004 periods. These improvements were principally attributable to higher sales volume, largely offset by transition and relocation costs incurred in connection with the Showtime business acquisition. 10 Backlog The Company's backlog of orders was approximately $36 million at June 30, 2005 and $18 million at June 30, 2004. This increase includes large multi-year permanent exhibit projects, as well as the backlog of orders from the Showtime business and new customers. The increase in the backlog is expected to yield lower gross profit margins, as a percentage of sales. Specifically, a significant portion of the backlog increase is related to permanent and scenic display projects which generally yield lower gross profit margins than the Company's trade show exhibit and other projects. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On February 6, 2004, the Company replaced its revolving credit and security agreement with a new credit facility provided by a commercial asset-based lender. The new credit facility originally expired on February 6, 2007 and provided for maximum borrowing capacity of up to $12 million based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. This facility has interest based on the 30-day dealer placed commercial paper rate plus a formula-determined spread, restricts the Company's ability to pay dividends, and includes certain financial covenants (fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditure amount). The effective interest rate for this credit facility was 6.81% at June 30, 2005. On March 21, 2005, the Company amended its credit facility to increase the maximum borrowing capacity from $12 million to $15 million, to increase the maximum borrowings on certain inventories and to extend the term by one year to February 6, 2008. The Company also obtained a one-year term loan for $1 million, bearing interest at the commercial paper rate plus 3.75% and requiring monthly principal payments of $25,000 starting on April 1, 2005, with the remaining balance of $700,000 due on March 21, 2006. This credit facility amendment and term loan were obtained to finance the Showtime acquisition. The Company had borrowings of approximately $8.8 million and additional borrowing capacity of approximately $4.3 million at June 30, 2005. The Company's working capital increased $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 to $7.6 million at June 30, 2005 from $4.5 million at December 31, 2004, largely due to a $5.5 million increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $3 million increase in current liabilities. The accounts receivable increase was principally attributable to higher sales at the end of the second quarter as compared with sales at the end of 2004. The increase in current liabilities was the result of higher volume and the term loan discussed above. The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $1 million for 2005. 11 The Company has lease commitments for certain facilities under non-cancelable operating leases. Timing of future lease commitments as well as maturities of long-term debt are as follows: Payment due by period (in thousands) ------------------------------------ Less than 1 1-3 3-5 More than ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Contractual Obligations Total Year-2005 Years Years 5 Years ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Long-Term Debt Obligations $ 10,672 $ 1,063 $ 9,609 $ -- $ -- Capital Lease Obligations -- -- -- -- -- Operating Lease Obligations 6,492 1,199 4,567 726 -- Purchase Obligations -- -- -- -- Other Long-Term Liabilities Reflected on the Registrant's Balance Sheet Under GAAP 1,775 -- 1,318 457 -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total $ 18,939 $ 2,262 $ 15,494 $ 1,183 -- ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== The Company jointly leases a 31,000 square foot facility with International Expo Services ("IES"), in which the Company holds a minority interest. The annual lease commitment for this facility is $214,000 through September 22, 2007, which is not included with the above future operating lease commitments since IES occupies this entire facility and pays the rent. The Company leases a facility from a partnership controlled by two shareholders of the Company. This lease, which expires on May 14, 2019, contains an option for the Company to terminate after May 14, 2009 subject to the landlord's ability to re-rent the premises. The minimum annual rent is $771,000 through May 14, 2009 and is reset thereafter (not included in the table above). The Company is also responsible for taxes, insurance and other operating expenses for this facility. OUTLOOK The Company expects sales volume in 2005 to increase from the 2004 sales level due to new clients and the Showtime acquisition. Sales increases from a higher backlog of orders are expected to yield lower margins due to less favorable sales mix. The Company wrote off accounts receivable and inventories in 2001 as a result of K-Mart, a Sparks Custom Retail LLC customer, filing for bankruptcy. The subsequent settlement from its bankruptcy claim was for shares of Sears Holding Corp (previously K-Mart) common stock. Based on the current market price of Sears Holding Corp common stock, the Company has a contingent additional bad debt recovery of approximately $115,000 for the remaining 753 shares from this bankruptcy settlement. The Company acquired a past-due accounts receivable from mPhase Technologies, Inc. ("mPhase") in connection with the 2003 acquisition of Exhibit Crafts, Inc. In March 2005, the Company settled the claim with this customer for 213,000 shares of mPhase restricted common stock. Based on the current market value of this common stock, the Company has a contingent gain of approximately $50,000. Any gain will be recognized when the restrictions on the Company's right to sell this common stock expire. 12 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("FAS 146"). FAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Effective in the first quarter of 2003, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS 146. This new accounting principle had an impact on the timing and recognition of costs associated with the Showtime acquisition and subsequent relocation and integration. In December 2004, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("FAS123(R)" or the "Statement"). FAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The effect of the Statement will require entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award. FAS 123(R) permits entities to use any option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement. The Company will be required to apply FAS 123(R) starting January 1, 2006. FAS 123(R) allows two methods for determining the effects of the transition: the modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective method of transition. Under the modified prospective transition method, an entity would use the fair value based accounting method for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date. As of the effective date, compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of awards outstanding as of that date would be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated under the original provisions of Statement No. 123; that is, an entity would not re-measure the grant-date fair value estimate of the unvested portion of awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123(R). An entity will have the further option to either apply the Statement to only the quarters in the period of adoption and subsequent periods, or apply the Statement to all quarters in the fiscal year of adoption. Under the modified retrospective method of transition, an entity would revise its previously issued financial statements to recognize employee compensation cost for prior periods presented in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123. Although it has not yet completed its study of the transition methods, the Company believes it will elect the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the Company estimates that the adoption of FAS 123(R) would require the Company to record approximately $15,000 of stock compensation expense in 2005 related to employee options issued and outstanding at December 31, 2004 and $27,000 of stock compensation expense in 2005 related to employee options issued in the second quarter of 2005. Based on expected vesting of stock options outstanding at June 30, 2005, the Company may record compensation expense of approximately $300,000 in each of 2006 through 2010. Any further impact of this Statement on the Company in fiscal 2005 and beyond will depend upon various factors including future compensation strategy. The pro forma compensation costs are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and may not be indicative of amounts which should be expected in future years. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words "intends," "believes," "plans," "expects," "anticipates," "probable," "could" and similar words are used to identify these forward looking statements. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities 13 Litigation Reform Act of 1995, there are certain important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to: the Company's ability to integrate the acquired Showtime business and maintain the customer base; the Company's ability to continue to identify and enter new markets and expand existing business; continued availability of financing to provide additional sources of funding for capital expenditures, working capital and investments; the effects of competition on products and pricing; growth and acceptance of new product lines through the Company's sales and marketing programs; changes in material and labor prices from suppliers; changes in customers' financial condition; the Company's ability to attract and retain competent employees; the Company's ability to add and retain customers; changes in sales mix; the Company's ability to integrate and upgrade technology; uncertainties regarding accidents or litigation which may arise; the financial impact of facilities consolidations; uncertainties about the impact of the threat of future terrorist attacks on business travel and related trade show attendance; and the effects of, and changes in the economy, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, inflation and monetary fluctuations as well as fluctuations in interest rates, both on a national and international basis. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices do not significantly affect the Company's financial position and results of operations. The Company's revolving credit facility bears an interest rate based on 30-day dealer placed commercial paper rate, plus a formula amount based on the Company's fixed charge ratio, which resulted in 6.81% at June 30, 2005. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures The Company established a Disclosure Committee chaired by the Company's Chief Financial Officer and comprised of managers representing the Company's major areas, including financial reporting and control, sales, operations and information technology. This Committee carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, and established ongoing procedures to monitor and evaluate these controls and procedures in the future. Based upon that evaluation, within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. (b) Changes in internal controls There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the Item 4 (a) evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Exhibits EXHIBIT NO.
