PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (the "Company") is engaged principally in the
development, design, production and sales of specialized electronic power
supplies, a wide variety of transformers and other types of iron-core
components, and electronic system components. In some cases, the Company
manufactures such products in accordance with pre-developed mechanical and
electrical requirements. In other cases, the Company is responsible for both the
overall design and manufacture of the product. The Company does not generally
manufacture standardized components. The Company operates a one-segment business
and was incorporated in 1928.
The electronic power supplies and components manufactured by the Company find
application principally in (i) shipboard and land based radar, (ii) locomotives,
(iii) aircraft, (iv) short, medium range and global communication systems, (v)
navigation systems for aircraft, (vi) nuclear submarine control systems, (vii)
missile guidance and control systems and (viii) land-based military vehicles.
The Company's iron-core components include (i) transformers of the audio, power
and pulse types, (ii) magnetic amplifiers and (iii) audio filters.
The electronic system components manufactured by the Company include antenna
systems and high power radar transmitters. These system components utilize the
Company's own electronic power supplies, transformers and other iron-core
components and mechanical assemblies.
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 (referred to herein as "2000"), the
Company's total sales were $14,719,818. Sales to two domestic customers
accounted for 29.7% and 26.3% of total sales in 2000. Sales to two domestic
customers and one foreign customer accounted for 37.6%, 25.4% and 11.2%,
respectively, of total sales in 1999. Sales to three domestic customers
accounted for 47.9%, 14.7%, and 12.5%, respectively, of total sales in 1998.
Export sales in 2000 and 1999 were approximately $4,200,000 and $2,500,000,
respectively, and were not significant in 1998. During 1999, the Company
established a foreign sales corporation.
Raw Materials
The Company has never experienced any significant delay or shortage with respect
to the purchase of raw materials and components used in the manufacture of its
products, and has at least two potential sources of supply for all raw
materials.
Sales Backlog
At September 13, 2000, the Company's backlog was approximately $28.0 million.
The total backlog at June 30, 2000 was approximately $29.1 million as compared
to approximately $16.9 million at June 30, 1999. The Company's backlog is
discussed in greater detail in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, contained in Item 7, below.
It is presently anticipated that a minimum of $15 million of orders comprising
the June 30, 2000 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30,
2001. The minimum of $15 million does not include any shipments which may be
made against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30,
2001. The estimate of the June 30, 2000 backlog to be shipped in fiscal 2001 is
subject to future events which may cause the amount of the backlog actually
shipped to differ from such estimate.
2
Marketing and Competition
The Company markets its products primarily through its own direct sales
organization. Business is solicited from Fortune 500 companies, United States
and foreign governments and major foreign electronic equipment companies. In
certain countries the Company has external sales representatives to help solicit
and coordinate foreign contracts. The Company is also on the eligible list of
contractors of many agencies of the Department of Defense and generally is
automatically solicited by such agencies for procurement needs falling within
the major classes of products produced by the Company. In addition, the Company
directly solicits bids from both the Department of Defense and other United
States Government agencies for prime contracts.
There is competition in all classes of products manufactured by the Company,
from divisions of the largest electronic companies in the country, as well as
many small companies. The Company's sales do not represent a significant share
of the industry's market for any class of its products. The principal methods of
competition for electronic products of both a military and industrial nature
include, among other factors, price, product performance, the experience of the
particular company and history of its dealings in such products. The Company, as
well as other companies engaged in supplying equipment for military use, is
subject to various risks, including, without limitation, dependence on
government appropriations and program allocations, the competition for available
military business, and government termination of orders for convenience.
The Company's business is not considered to be of a seasonal nature.
Research and Development
The Company's expenditures for research and development were approximately
$255,000, $291,000 and $244,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Some of
the Company's engineers and technicians spend varying degrees of time on either
development of new products or improvement of existing products.
Employees
The number of persons employed by the Company as of September 13, 2000 was 242.
Government Regulations
Compliance with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted or
adopted to regulate the discharge of materials into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not in 2000, and
the Company believes will not in fiscal 2001 or any succeeding fiscal year, have
a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position of the Company.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company's principal manufacturing and all of its engineering facilities are
at its plant in Saratoga Springs, New York, which the Company owns.
The Saratoga Springs plant consists of various closely adjoining one-story
buildings. The plant has a sprinkler system throughout and contains
approximately 151,000 square feet of floor space, of which 90,000 is used for
manufacturing, 24,000 for engineering, 33,000 for shipping and climatically
secured storage, and 4,000 for offices. The offices, engineering and some
manufacturing areas are air-conditioned. In addition to assembly and wiring
operations, the plant includes facilities for varnishing, potting, plating,
impregnation and spray painting operations. The manufacturing operation also
includes a complete machine shop, with welding and sheet metal fabrication
facilities adequate for substantially all of the Company's current operations.
Besides normal test equipment, the Company maintains a sophisticated on-site
environmental test facility. In addition to meeting all of the Company's
3
in-house needs, the plating, machine shop and environmental facilities are
available to other companies on a contract basis.
The Company owns an additional manufacturing facility in a three-story building
of approximately 4,000 square feet in Gloversville, New York. The facility is
used primarily for subcomponent wiring and assembly.
The Company maintains a sales office in Great Neck, New York. This space,
comprising approximately 750 square feet, is leased from a non-affiliated person
for a term expiring on September 9, 2001.

Holders
The approximate number of holders of record of the common stock was 168 on
September 13, 2000 according to records of the Company's transfer agent.
Included in this number are shares held in "nominee" or "street" name and,
therefore, the number of beneficial owners of the common stock is believed to be
substantially in excess of the foregoing number.

Dividends
The Company paid a cash dividend on the common stock of $.20 per share for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $.70 per share in
its fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The Board of Directors has authorized the
payment of a fiscal 2001 first quarter dividend of $.05 payable on September 29,
2000 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2000. On a quarterly basis the

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Net Sales for fiscal years ended June 30, 2000, 1999,and 1998, were $14,719,818,
$13,629,692, and $10,793,572, respectively. The 8% increase in sales over 1999
is a result of the Company continuing to realize the benefits of intensified
sales and marketing efforts in an attempt to increase business with existing
customers as well as establishing new customer relationships. These efforts have
provided for the continued increase in the sales backlog that has occurred over
the last several quarters. The sales backlog at June 30, 2000 was approximately
$29.1 million, a 72% increase over the June 30, 1999 backlog. The increase in
backlog includes significant orders for the Company's land and shipboard high
voltage radar power supply/transmitters, industrial power supplies, and
significant contracts to manufacture certain customer products in accordance
with pre-developed requirements. The 26% increase in net sales in 1999 as
compared to 1998 was also a result of intensified sales and marketing efforts
which increased the sales order backlog and allowed the company to ship
significantly more in 1999. Significant shipments in 1999 included high voltage
radar power supply/transmitters, repair depot, and industrial power supplies.
Net income for fiscal 2000, was $782,943 or $.75 per share compared to $730,601
or $.66 per share for fiscal 1999. The 13.6% increase in earnings per share was
due to increased net sales, increased internal cost controls, and a decrease in
the average number of shares outstanding. Net income for fiscal 1999, was
$730,601 or $.66 per share compared to a net loss of $739,602 or ($.67) per
5
share for fiscal 1998. The net income increase was due to increased net sales,
favorable product mix and an overall decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses.
For fiscal years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 gross profits were
$2,735,934, $2,537,676, and $685,953, respectively. Gross profit for fiscal 2000
was a percentage of sales remained consistent with fiscal 1999 at 18.6%. The
increase in gross profit between 2000, 1999, and 1998, was predominately due to
increased efficiency in the manufacturing and engineering workforces and an
increase in net sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,002,317 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $155,480, or 8% as compared to the prior
year. This increase is mainly attributable to an overall increase in selling
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,846,837 for the
year ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of $110,279, or 5.6% as compared to the
prior year. The reduction is primarily related to a decrease in professional
fees, officer's salaries and employment-related expenses.
Total other income in fiscal 2000 remained relatively consistent with fiscal
1999. Interest and dividend income decreased as expected, however, this decrease
was offset by government grants received related to increased employment. Total
other income in fiscal 1999, as compare to fiscal 1998 declined as expected, as
the company continued to increase the backlog and improve overall net sales,
more cash was being utilized in operations for inventory and higher accounts
receivable balances during fiscal 1999. This trend left the company with less
cash to invest in interest bearing securities. Also, interest rates declined
slightly in fiscal 1999 from fiscal 1998.
Business Outlook
The Company continues to increase net sales while also increasing the existing
sales backlog. The sales backlog of $28.0 million as of September 13, 2000,
gives the Company a solid base to grow over the next few years. In addition to
the backlog, the Company currently has outstanding quotations in excess of $22
million for both repeat and new programs. The Company has received major
contracts for power supplies which should find extensive use throughout the
world. The Company also expects to receive substantial orders for spare parts on
the various types of transmitters which are already in the field, and a number
of contracts for further development and manufacture of numerous transformers.
The outstanding quotations encompass various new and previously manufactured
power supplies, transformers, and subassemblies. Management presently
anticipates that the Company will realize both an increase in revenues and
income in 2001, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire
any or all of the proposed orders described above since such a forward-looking
statement is subject to future events, market conditions, political stability of
foreign governments, and allocations of the United States defense budget.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital is an appropriate indicator of the liquidity of
its business, and during the past three fiscal years, the Company, when
possible, has funded all of its operations with cash flows resulting from
operating activities and when necessary from its existing cash and investments.
The Company did not borrow any funds during the last three fiscal years. On
April 26, 2000, management established a $3,000,000 line of credit to help fund
further growth, if necessary, but does not anticipate the need for any borrowed
funds in the foreseeable future.
The Company's working capital as of June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was
$21,211,145, $20,816,988, and $20,425,678, respectively. During 2000 and 1999
the Company repurchased 30,027 and 47,562 shares, respectively, of its common
stock from the Company's ESOP and in other private and public transactions, for
a total purchase price of $403,472 and $604,226,respectively. The Company did
not repurchase any of its common stock during fiscal year 1998. Under existing
6
authorizations from the Company's Board of Directors, as of September 13, 2000,
management is authorized to purchase an additional $925,750 worth of Company
stock.
The table below presents the summary of cash flow information for the fiscal
year indicated:
2000 1999
---- ----
Net cash used in operating activities............. $2,076,644 $ 2,947,631
Net cash provided by investing activities......... 2,691,701 3,541,565
Net cash used in financing activities............. 612,201 821,338
Net cash used in operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a
result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection of accounts
receivable, purchases of inventory, level of sales and payment of accounts
payable. The cash provided by investing activities is due to the maturities of
the Company's investment securities with no offsetting purchase of new
investments as the Company needed the funds to support current operations. The
decrease in cash used in financing activities is due to the decrease in the
amount of treasury stock purchased during 2000 as explained above.
The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and when necessary,
from cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its long-term funding
requirements.
Management believes that the Company's reserve for bad debts of $3,000 is
adequate given the customers with whom the Company deals. The amount of bad
debts over the years has been minimal.
During fiscal year 2000, and 1999, the Company expended approximately $782,100
and $508,000, respectively, for plant improvements and new equipment. The
Company plans to expend approximately $385,000 for new equipment and plant
improvements in fiscal 2001. Management presently anticipates that the funds
required will be available from current operations.
Management Restructuring
At the end of the fiscal 1998, the Company implemented a management succession
plan. The plan was effectuated through agreements with five executive officers
of the Company: Joseph Canterino (former President and Chief Executive Officer),
Barry Pinsley (former Vice President-Investor Relations and Human Resources),
Seymour Saslow (Senior Vice President), Herbert Potoker (Treasurer and Principal
Financial Officer) and Reita Wojtowecz (Secretary). Under the terms of the
agreements, the executives agreed to resign from their positions as executive
officers and are being compensated in accordance with their respective
agreements. The implementation of this plan resulted in the Company recording in
fiscal 1998 a $479,500 pre-tax charge for payments due under the contracts and
costs related to the implementation of the plan. The costs of the plan are being
paid with cash flows from the Company's operating activities. At June 30, 2000
approximately $142,000 remains to be paid under these agreements.
Other Matters
An Employee Retirement Plan and Trust ("ESOP") was established for the eligible
non-union employees of the Company and was effective as of July 1, 1988. The
ESOP used the proceeds of a loan from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of
the Company's common stock for approximately $8,400,000, and the Company
contributed approximately $400,000 to the ESOP, which was used by the ESOP to
purchase an additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Each year the Company makes contributions to the ESOP, which are used to make
loan interest and principal payments. With each loan and interest payment, a
7
portion of the common stock will be allocated to participating employees. As of
June 30, 2000, there were 197,137 shares allocated to participants. Dividends
attributable to allocated shares were likewise allocated to the participants'
accounts, whereas the dividends on unallocated shares were used as part of the
loan repayment, thus reducing the Company's required contribution.
The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual installments of
$1,039,605, including interest through June 30, 2004. Interest is payable at a
rate of 9% per annum. The Company's receivable from the ESOP is recorded as
common stock subscribed in the accompanying balance sheets.
Year 2000 Issues
The Company's information technology systems successfully completed the
transition into the year 2000. The beginning of the new year resulted in no
adverse or negative impact on operations. The Company believes that the risk
associated with the year 2000 problem has been identified and eliminated. The
Company will continue to evaluate the 2000 readiness of its business systems and
significant vendors to ensure a complete transition through the year 2000. The
estimated total cost of the year 2000 assessment and remediation plan has been
less than $25,000.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and Subsidiary (the Company) is a
manufacturer of electronic equipment used primarily in military and
industrial applications. The principal markets for the Company's products
are companies that provide electronic support to both military and
industrial applications. During 1999, the Company established a foreign
sales corporation (subsidiary).
Inventory Valuation and Revenue Recognition
Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued at
weighted average cost.
Inventoried work relating to contracts in process and work in process is
valued at actual production cost, including factory overhead and initial
set-up costs incurred to date. Work in process represents spare units and
parts and other inventory items acquired or produced to service units
previously sold or to meet anticipated future orders. The cost elements
of contracts in process consist of production costs of goods and services
currently in process and overhead relative to those contracts where such
costs are reimbursable under the terms of the contracts. Provision for
losses on contracts is made when existence of such losses becomes
evident. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are
based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced.
Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months.
Revenue is recognized on contracts in the period in which the units are
delivered and billed (unit-of-delivery method).
Depreciation
Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. In addition, SFAS No. 109
requires that the tax benefit of tax deductible dividends on unallocated
ESOP shares be recorded as a direct addition to retained earnings rather
than as a reduction of income tax expense.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, certificates of
deposit, money market accounts, and U.S. Treasury bills with original
maturities of three months or less.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Investment Securities
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
Investment securities at June 30, 2000 and 1999 consist of U.S. Treasury
securities and corporate equity securities. The Company classifies U.S.
Treasury securities and corporate equity securities as
available-for-sale.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of related tax effect, on
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Realized
gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are
included in earnings and are determined using the specific identification
method. Interest income is recognized when earned.
Stock-Based Compensation
The intrinsic value method of accounting is used for stock-based
compensation plans. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost
is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the
stock at the grant date over the amount of an employee must pay to
acquire the stock.
Per Share Amounts
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common
Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the
earnings of the entity.
Comprehensive Income
In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement
establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its
components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized
gains (losses) on securities available for sale and is presented in the
Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. Prior year financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the SFAS No. 130
requirements. Components of other comprehensive income include unrealized
gains (losses) on securities available for sale. There were no realized
gains (losses) included in net income requiring reclassification
adjustments to other comprehensive income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.
Investment Tax Credits
Investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax
expense in the year taxes payable are reduced.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,"
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 has subsequently been
amended by SFAS No. 137, issued June 1999, which delays the effective
date for implementation of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management believes SFAS No. 133
will not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB
101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes
certain of the SEC's views in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company is
required to adopt SAB 101 in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Management
does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44"), "Accounting for Certain Transactions
Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25."
FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No. 25 and, among other
issues clarifies the definition of an employee for purposes of applying
APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies
as a non-compensatory plan; the accounting consequences of various
modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards;
and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a
business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain
conclusions in FIN 44 cover specific events that occurred after either
December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The Company has applied the
applicable provisions of FIN 44 which did not have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

8. Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes, Continued
For the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 deferred income tax expense of
$103,600 and $85,000, respectively, result from the changes in temporary
differences for each year. The tax effects of temporary differences that
give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of June
30, 2000 and 1999 are presented as follows:
2000 1999
Deferred tax assets:
Inventory - differences in valuation methods $150,945 $161,194
Unrealized loss on available-for-sale investment
securities 61,779 25,557
Common stock subscribed - due to difference in

-------- --------
Total deferred tax liabilities 483,085 434,941
-------- --------
Net deferred tax asset $306,225 $369,864
======== ========
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable
income during the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the schedule reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies
in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable
income and projection for future taxable income over the period in which
the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more
likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these
temporary differences without consideration of a valuation allowance.

10. Significant Customers
A significant portion of the Company's business is the production of
military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the U.S.
Government and its agencies and certain industrial customers. Sales to
two domestic customers accounted for 29.7% and 26.3%, respectively of
total sales in 2000. Sales to two domestic customers and one foreign
customer accounted for 37.6%, 25.4% and 11.2%, respectively, of total
sales in 1999. Sales to three domestic customers accounted for 47.9%,
14.7% and 12.5%, respectively, of total sales in 1998.
Export sales aggregated approximately $4,200,000 and $2,500,000 for years
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Export sales in 1998 were not
significant.
11. Stock Rights Plan
The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan which expires on December 31,
2009. Under this plan, common stock purchase rights were distributed as a
dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock
outstanding as of or issued subsequent to April 14, 1989. Each right
entitles the holder thereof to buy one-half share of common stock of the
Company at an exercise price of $50 per share subject to adjustment. The
rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or commences a
tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the offer
or, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the
beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock.
If a 15% or larger shareholder should engage in certain self-dealing
transactions or a merger with the Company in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and its shares of common stock are not changed or
converted into equity securities of any other person, or if any person
were to become the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's
common stock, than each right not owned by such shareholder or related
parties of such shareholder (all of which will be void) will entitle its
holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of
the Company's common stock having a value of twice the right's exercise
price. In addition, if the Company is involved in any other merger or
consolidation with, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power
to, another person, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at
the right's then current exercise price, shares of common stock of such
other person having a value of twice the right's exercise price.
The Company generally is entitled to redeem the rights at one cent per
right at any time until the 15th day (or 25th day if extended by the
Company's Board of Directors) following public announcement that a 15%
position has been acquired or the commencement of a tender or exchange
offer which, if consummated, would result in the offer or, together with
all affiliates and associates thereof, being the beneficial owner of 15%
or more of the Company's common stock.

12. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In 1989, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
for eligible non-union employees. The ESOP used the proceeds of a loan
from the Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common stock
for approximately $8.4 million and the Company contributed approximately
$400,000 in 1989 to the ESOP which was used by the ESOP to purchase an
additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Since inception
of the Plan, the ESOP has sold or distributed 66,628 shares of the
Company's common stock to pay benefits to participants. At June 30, 2000
and 1999, the ESOP held a total of 281,185 and 272,692 shares,
respectively, of the Company's common stock, of which 197,137 and 167,632
shares, respectively, were allocated to participants in the Plan.
The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual installments
of $1,039,605, including interest, through June 30, 2004. Interest is
payable at a rate of 9% per annum. The Company's receivable from the ESOP
is recorded as common stock subscribed in the accompanying balance
sheets. The Company recognizes the principal payments of the ESOP debt,
on a straight-line basis over the term of the note, as compensation
expense.
Each year, the Company makes contributions to the ESOP which are used to
make loan payments. With each loan payment, a portion of the common stock
is allocated to participating employees. For the periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, 21,012 shares were allocated to participants. In 2000, the
Company's required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by $21,012
which represents the dividends paid on the unallocated ESOP shares. The
resulting payment of $1,018,593 includes $537,650 classified as
compensation expense. In 1999, the Company's required contribution of
$1,039,605 was reduced by $25,214, which represents the dividends paid on
the unallocated ESOP shares. The resulting payment of $1,014,319 includes
$533,449 classified as compensation expense. In 1998, the Company's
required contribution of $1,039,605 was reduced by $102,952, which
represents the dividends paid on the unallocated ESOP shares. The
resulting payment of $936,646 includes $455,704 classified as
compensation expense. All shares purchased by the ESOP are considered to
be outstanding for the income per share computations.
13. Stock Options
During fiscal 2000, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved, the
2000 Stock Option Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, incentive and
non-qualified stock options will be granted to purchase shares of common
stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2000 the Plan was authorized to
issue 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Options granted under the Plan have been granted at not less than the
fair market value at the grant date and vest over a maximum period of ten
years.
On March 1, 2000, 11,500 stock options were granted under the plan which
vest over two years. As of June 30, 2000 no options were forfeited.
24

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Stock Options, Continued
The Company has elected to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for the
Plan. Under APB 25, no compensation expense has been recognized in 2000.
Had compensation cost and fair value been determined pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123) "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation", net income would have decreased from
$782,943 to $778,296. The options outstanding did not create any
difference between basic and diluted earnings per share. The initial
impact of FAS 123 on pro forma earnings per share may not be
representative of the effect on income in future years because options
vest over several years and additional option grants may be made each
year.
The weighted average fair value of options granted under FAS 123 was
$3.71 in 2000. The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions used for the grants: dividend yield of 2.5%;
expected volatility of 16.4% ; risk-free interest rates of 6%; and
expected life of 5 years.
14. Financial Instruments/Concentration of Credit Risk
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, short-term
investments, investment securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of June 30, 2000 and
1999 because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash
equivalents with various financial institutions. At times such
investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. As disclosed in
Note 10, a significant portion of the Company's business is the
production of military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the
U.S. Government and its agencies and certain industrial customers. The
related accounts receivable balance represented by three customers was
64% and 93.2% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable balance at
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Although the Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment
of these balances is affected by conditions or occurrences within the
U.S. Government, the Company believes that its trade accounts receivable
credit risk exposure is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and requires
collateral, such as progress payments, in certain circumstances. The
Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and
other information.

15. Commitments
The Company under an operating lease agreement rents a sales office in
Great Neck, New York. This lease, which expires on September 9, 2001,
requires future minimum lease payments of $14,222 payable as follows:
Year ending June 30,
2001 12,190
2002 2,032
----------------------
$ 14,222
======================
Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was
$12,190, $18,674, and $12,398, respectively.
16. Other Costs
During 1999 the Company implemented a management succession plan that
involves agreements with five members of management. These agreements
require the Company to pay certain amounts for a period of approximately
two years after the employees' resignations from the Company in exchange
for the employees' agreements to be available to the Company on an
as-needed basis. Since there is no minimum service required by the
agreements, the Company accrued for these payments on the effective date
of the plan as the employees are eligible for the benefit at that date.
At June 30, 1999, approximately $306,000 was accrued to record the
liabilities relating to these agreements. At June 30, 2000, $142,000
remained to be paid to these individuals.
17. Related Parties
The Company paid a law firm in which a director of the Company is a
partner, a total of $42,000 for legal services during each fiscal year
ended June 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The Company paid a director of the
Company, a total of approximately $15,975 and $15,600 for consulting
services during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
