2. Long-term debt (Continued)
On June 28, 1995, the Company'sCompan's Exchange Offer for certain issues of
its outstanding indebtedness expired. The Company accepted for exchange
Swiss Francs ("SFr.") 1,299,000 of its 8% Swiss Bonds due March 1, 1995,
SFr. 1,120,000 of its Convertible Swiss Bonds due March 7, 1995, SFr.
945,000 of its 5.75% Convertible Bonds due May 9, 1995, SFr. 795,000 of its
5.625% Convertible Bonds due March 18, 1996, and $1,212,000 of its 7% Dual
Currency Bonds due March 18, 1996. In exchange for the forgoing bonds,
the Company issued an aggregate of SFr. 3,604,000 of new 8% Swiss Bonds,
due June 28, 2000 (the "New 8% Bonds") and paid $2,873,000 in cash.
The New 8% Bonds were valued at $ 2,340,000(after an original issue discount

3. Term loan
On April 7, 1995, the Company entered into a $5,000,000
Term Loan Agreement, of which the Company received
approximately $4,900,000 after closing fees. The Term Loan
is payable in sixteen consecutive quarterly installments,
commencing on June 30, 1996. The first fifteen installments
will be $250,000 and the last installment shall be
$1,250,000. The Company has used a portion of the proceeds in
July 1995 to repay and refinance certain of its Swiss
denominated long-term debt due in 1995 and 1996. The Term
Loan is secured by certain assets of the Company and requires
the Company to meet certain financial covenants.
4. Revolving credit agreement
On April 7, 1995, General Physics Corporation (GP), the
Company's 51% owned subsidiary, entered into a new
$20,000,000 secured revolving credit agreement with a
commercial bank, and terminated its previous credit
agreement. Borrowings under the new credit agreement bear
interest at the prime rate or at a rate which is 1.75% over
LIBOR, whichever rate is elected by GP. The new credit
agreement is secured by the accounts receivable of GP and
certain of its subsidiaries, and contains certain covenants
which, among other things, limit the amount and nature of
certain expenditures by GP, and requires GP to maintain
certain financial ratios.

5. Subsequent events
(a) On September 20, 1995, the Company's stockholders and
Board of Directors approved the proposal to amend the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a
one-for-four reverse stock split of its Common Stock. The
reverse stock split was effective on October 6, 1995 (the
"Effective Date"). As of September 20, 1995, there were
27,115,240 shares of common stock outstanding and after the
Effective Date there were approximately 6,778,810 shares of
Common Stock outstanding.
On the Effective Date, the shares of common stock held by
stockholders of record were converted into the amount of
whole shares of new common stock equal to the number of their
shares divided by four, with any fractional shares rounded up
to the next whole share.
The balance sheets at September 30, 1995 and December
31, 1994 as well as the earnings (loss) per share for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
have been restated to reflect the reverse split as if it had
occurred on January 1, 1994.
(b) On October 23, 1995, Five Star, MXL and the Company
entered into various amendments to the Five Star Loan
Agreement and the MXL Loan Agreement. Under the terms of the
amendments, (i) Five Star is allowed to borrow 80% of
Eligible Receivables (as defined), (ii) MXL is allowed to
lend Five Star and the Company up to an additional $750,000
and $500,000, respectively and (iii) the Five Star and MXL
Term Loans were restructured and as of November 1, 1995,
MXL owed $3,960,000 under the MXL Term Loan and Five Star's
Term Loan was repaid in its entirety. In addition, both Five
Star and MXL are permitted to loan or dividend to the Company
50% of their Excess Cash Flow (as defined).
NATIONAL PATENT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company incurredrealized income (loss) before income taxes,
discontinued operation and extraordinary item of $(382,000)$3,329,000
and $861,000$4,190,000 for the quarter and sixnine months ended
JuneSeptember 30, 1995, as compared with a loss of $(2,003,000)$(1,991,000)
and ($4,158,000)6,149,000) for the corresponding periods of 1994. The
improvement in the Company's results before discontinued
operation and extraordinary item is due to several factors.
The improved operating results were primarily the result of a
$5,912,000 gain recognized during the third quarter of 1995
as a result of the issuance of common stock by Interferon
Sciences, Inc. (ISI) and the initial public offering by GSE
Systems, Inc. (GSES). At September 30, 1995, the Company
owns approximately 22% of ISI and controls 26% of GSES. In
addition, in January 1995, the Company recognized a
$2,567,000 gain recognized by the Company on the sale of 1,666,667 shares of the
Company's GTS Duratek, Inc. (Duratek) common stock in
January 1995.stock. As a
result of the above transaction, the Company's ownership in
Duratek fell below 50% and commencing in January 1995, the
Company has accounted for itsthis investment in Duratek on the equity
basis. Included in investment and other income(expense), net
for the quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1995, is
$78,000$70,000 and $(991,000),$1,061,000, respectively, of foreign currency
transaction gains
(losses),losses, compared to losses of $(1,115,000)$351,000 and
$(2,012,000)$2,363,000 for the corresponding periods of 1994. The
Physical Science Groupand Optical Plastics Groups achieved
increased operating profits in 1995.1995, partially offset by
reduced operating profits achieved by the Distribution Group.
In addition, for the quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember
30, 1995, the Company also achieved reduced interest expense
at the corporate level, as a result of reduced long-term
debt.
Foreign currency valuation fluctuations may adversely affect
the results of operations and financial condition of the
Company. At JuneSeptember 30, 1995, the Company had not hedged
its Swiss franc obligations. If the value of the Swiss franc
to the U.S. dollar increases, the Company will recognize
transaction losses on its Swiss franc obligations. On
JuneSeptember 30, 1995, the value of the Swiss franc to the U.S.
dollar was approximately 1.14851.1553 to 1. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to swap or hedge
obligations denominated in foreign currencies at prices
acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company will
continue to review this policy on a continuing basis. At
JuneSeptember 30, 1995, the Company had approximately SFr.
4,698,0004,738,000 of Swiss denominated debt outstanding, of which
approximately SFr. 4,298,0004,338,000 represents principal amount
outstanding and approximately SFr. 400,000 represents
interest accrued thereon.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Sales
For the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 1995, consolidated sales
decreased by $3,014,000$4,102,000 to $48,416,000$47,551,000 from the $51,430,000$51,653,000
recorded in the corresponding quarter of 1994. For the sixnine
months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1995, consolidated sales decreased
by $992,000$5,094,000 to $94,968,000$142,519,000 from $95,960,000$147,613,000 recorded for
the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994. The decreased
sales during the periods were the result of reduced sales in
the Distribution Group, partially offset by increased sales
within the Physical Science and Optical Plastics Group. The
decreased sales within the Distribution Group was the result
of the loss of a significant customer. The increased sales
within the Physical Science Group were the result of
consolidating the sales of General Physics Corporation (GP)
since September 1994, partially offset by Duratek being
accounted for on the equity basis since January 1995.
Gross margin
Consolidated gross margin of $7,832,000,$8,107,000, or 16%17%, for the
quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 1995, decreased by $1,682,000$196,000 when
compared to the consolidated gross margin of $9,514,000,$7,911,000, or
18%15%, for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994. For the sixnine
months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1995, consolidated gross margin of
$15,102,000$23,209,000 or 16% of consolidated sales decreased by
$2,424,000$2,228,000 when compared to $17,526,000$25,437,000 or 18%17% of
consolidated sales earned in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember
30, 1994. The decreased gross margin in 1995 was principally
the result of decreased gross margin achieved by the
Distribution and Physical Science Groups. The decreased
gross margin within the Physical Science Group is primarily
due to the Company's ownership in Duratek falling below 50%
in January 1995, and the Company accounting for the results
of Duratek on the equity basis from that time, partially
offset by GP being included in the consolidated results since
September 1994. The reduced gross margin percentage is the result of
continued pressure from customers within certain areas of GP's business to
reduce costs. The reduced gross margin in the Distribution
Group was the result of reduced sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of
$9,419,000 and $23,968,000 were $987,000 higher and
$1,363,000 lower than the $8,432,000 and $25,331,000 of SG&A
expenses incurred during the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1994. The increase for the quarter ended September 30,
1995, was primarily the result of the recording of a reserve
of approximately $1,015,000 by General Physics Corporation
during the third quarter of 1995 related to potentially
uncollectable revenue recorded in years prior to December
1993. The decrease in SG&A for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, was principally the result of Duratek
being accounted for on the equity method since January 1995
partially offset by the above write-off.

available for the general corporate purpose of the parent. MXL Industries, Inc., a 100% owned
subsidiary, had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,061,000, which was not

can loan up to $2,000,000 to the Company at the prime rate of
interest.
The Company has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, and borrowing availability under
existing and potential lines of credit to satisfy its cash
requirements for its Swiss Franc denominated indebtedness due
in 1995 and 1996, which totaled approximately $713,000$724,000 and
$1,415,000,$1,411,000, respectively at JuneSeptember 30, 1995. In order for
the Company to meet its long-term cash needs, which include
the repayment of approximately $6,783,000$6,759,000 of 12% Subordinated
debentures scheduled to mature in 1997, the Company must
obtain additional funds from among various sources. The Company
has historically reduced its long-termlongterm debt through the issuance
of equity securities in exchange for long-term debt. In
addition to its ability to issue equity securities, the
Company believes that it has sufficient marketable long-term
investments, as well as the ability to obtain additional
funds from its operating subsidiaries and the potential to
enter into new credit arrangements. The Company reasonably
believes that it will be able to accomplish some or all of
the above transactions in order to fund the scheduled
repayment of the Company's 12% Subordinated debentures in
1997.
