1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
The Company designs and manufactures high reliability engineered solutions, systems, subsystems, semiconductor and microelectronics circuits and various electronic components for military, aerospace and commercial applications, including mission critical information systems and technologies. The Company, through the July 7, 2009 acquisition (see Note 4), has expanded its manufacturing and design of military products to include secured communication products, including ruggedized computer products, network security appliances, and TEMPEST Emanation prevention products. The Company continues to position itself as a total engineered solution provider to various world governments, as well as military, defense, avionics and homeland security contractors.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) for interim financial statements and include the results of API Nanotronics Corp. (API Nanotronics) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries), which are collectively referred to as the Company.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. Statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection with the annual audit of the Companys accounts for the year ended May 31, 2010. In the opinion of the Companys management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial position as of August 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month period ended August 31, 2009. Results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other interim periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 included in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Commission on August 27, 2009.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventory
Inventories, which include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated using the following methods over the following periods:
Straight line basis |
||
Buildings and buildings and leasehold improvements |
20-40 years | |
Computer equipment |
3 years | |
Furniture and fixtures |
5 years | |
Machinery and equipment |
5 to 10 years | |
Vehicles |
3 years |
Betterments are capitalized and amortized by the Company, using the same amortization basis as the underlying assets over the remaining useful life of the original asset. Betterments will include renovations, major repairs and upgrades that will increase the service of a fixed asset and extend the useful life. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Fixed Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale have been classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the net assets to be sold at approximately $1,600,000 compared to $2,500,000 at May 31, 2009. The decrease is directly attributed to the sale of land it owned adjacent to one of the Companys manufacturing sites in the United States.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets result primarily from business acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment by applying a fair value based test.
The goodwill recorded on our consolidated financial statements relates to the acquisition of the Filtran Group, which was completed in 2002. The Company performs goodwill impairment testing under the provisions of statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, using the discounted future cash flows technique as provided by the FASB Concepts Statements No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements. When the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of the goodwill is compared with the carrying amount to measure whether there is an impairment loss. The Companys impairment test based on future cash flows significantly exceeded the carrying value of the assets at May 31, 2009, and the Company has determined there was no impairment in goodwill as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, respectively.
Intangible assets that have a finite life are amortized using the following basis over the following period:
Non-compete agreements | Straight line over 5 years | |
Customer contracts | Based on revenue earned on the contract | |
Computer software | 3-5 years | |
Patents | 15-20 years |
Long Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable values of long-lived assets, principally identifiable intangibles and capital assets, for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, as determined based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If such assets were considered to be impaired, the carrying value of the related assets would be reduced to their estimated fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Contract Revenue
Revenue from contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is determined based on costs incurred, excluding costs that are not representative of progress to completion, as a percentage of total costs anticipated for each contract. A provision is made for losses on contracts in progress when such losses first become known. Revisions in cost and profit estimates, which can be significant, are reflected in the accounting period in which the relevant facts become known.
Non-Contract Revenue
The Company recognizes non-contract revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers non-contract revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until products have been shipped and risk of loss and ownership has transferred to the client.
Deferred Revenue
The Company defers revenue when payment is received in advance of the service or product being shipped or delivered. At August 31, 2009 the Company had deferred revenues of $1,038,440 compared to $228,734 at May 31, 2009. The asset acquisition of Cryptek accounted for approximately $700,000 of the increase.
Warranty
The Company provides up to a one-year product defect warranty on various products from the date of sale. Historically, warranty costs have been nominal and have been within managements expectations. The Company has accrued approximately $607,000 and $81,000, in warranty liability as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, respectively, which has been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The asset acquisition of Cryptek accounted for approximately $526,000 of the increase.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows SFAS 123R which revised SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as grants of stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over their vesting periods. The Company has also considered the related guidance of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) included in Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB) No. 107 and No. 110. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and restricted stock based on the quoted market price. The Company also follows the guidance in EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services for equity instruments issued to consultants.
Financial Instruments
The fair values of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-tem borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. Marketable securities are included at fair value. The recorded value of long-term debt approximates the fair value of the debt as the terms and rates approximate market rates.
The Company carries out a portion of transactions in foreign currencies included in the Companys cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable and bank indebtedness with balances denominated in US dollars.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions, which are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Management monitors the soundness of these institutions and has not experienced any collection losses with these institutions.
The U.S. Department of Defense (directly and through subcontractors) accounts for approximately 71 percent and 73 percent for 2009 and 2008, respectively, of the Companys revenue. One of these customers represented approximately 15 percent and 16 percent of revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. No customers represented over 10 percent of accounts receivable as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009.
Earnings (Loss) per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. (Note 11).
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss), which includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains on marketable securities, is shown in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity.
3. EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FAS 168). This statement provides for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to become the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. FAS 168 does not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165), which provides guidance on events that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements. SFAS No. 165 distinguishes events requiring recognition in the financial statements and those that may require disclosure in the financial statements. Furthermore, SFAS No. 165 requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 165 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP-FAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FAS 142-3). FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The objective of the Staff Position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007): Business Combinations (SFAS 141R) and other GAAP. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142-3 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP-FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FAS No. 107-1/APB 28-1). This FSP extends to interim periods certain disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for publicly traded companies and amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Companys adoption of FAS No. 107-1/APB 28-1 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) for its financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The adoption of SFAS 157 to the financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have any impact on our financial results. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2 Effective Date of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 157, the Company has elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until June 1, 2009. The Companys adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entitys financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entitys liquidity from using In derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statements to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

9. Stock-Based Compensation
On October 26, 2006, the Company adopted its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Incentive Plan), which was approved at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company. All the prior options issued by API were carried over to this plan under the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement. On August 5, 2009, the Company amended, subject to shareholder approval, the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock under the plan from 5,000,000 to 5,500,000. Of the 5,500,000 shares authorized under the Equity Incentive Plan, 305,043 shares are available for issuance pursuant to options or as stock as of August 31, 2009. Options issued by Rubincon prior to the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement were not carried over to this plan. Under the Companys Equity Incentive Plan, incentive options and non-statutory options may have a term of up to ten years and fifteen years, respectfully, from the date of grant. The stock option exercise prices are generally equal to at least 100 percent of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date the options are granted.
As of August 31, 2009, there was $2,974,457 of total unrecognized compensation related to non-vested stock options, which are not contingent upon attainment of certain milestones. For options with certain milestones necessary for vesting, the fair value is not calculated until the conditions become probable. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining periods of the options, which are expected to vest from 2009 to 2014.
During the three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, $216,584 and $230,180, respectively, has been recognized as stock-based compensation expense in general and administrative expense.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumptions detailed below:

14. Income Taxes
The Company has identified several tax jurisdictions because it has operations in Canada and the United States as defined. Based on the Companys evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
15. Segment Information
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 uses a management approach for determining segments. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Companys reportable segments. The Companys operations are conducted in two reportable segments, which are distinguished by geographic location in Canada and the United States. Within the US reporting segment, the Company has aggregated two operating segments. These segments have been aggregated as they share similar economic characteristics including similar product lines and shared manufacturing processes and equipment. Both segments design and manufacture electronic components. Inter-segment sales are presented at their market value for disclosure purposes.

16. Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through October 15, 2009, the date our financial statements were issued, and up to the time of filing of our financial statements with the SEC.
On September 15, 2009, the Company closed the previously announced sale of the land and building at 229 Colonnade Road, Nepean, Ontario, Canada for approximately $1,900,000.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Business Overview of API Nanotronics Corp.
The Company is engaged as a prime system contractor in secure communications and electronic components and subsystems to the global defense and aerospace industry. Our customers include the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and its prime contractors, U.S. Government intelligence agencies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Department of State (DoS) and U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), as well as various government and prime contractors in Canada, the United Kingdom, NATO and the European Union.
The Company is engaged in providing innovative design, engineering and manufacturing solutions to customers. The Company has also developed expertise in the R&D and manufacture of nanotechnology and MEMS products.
Core products we produce include: Tempest & Emanation products and services, ruggedized computers and peripherals, network security appliances and software, high-performance microcircuits such as 1553 data bus products, solid state power controllers, Opto-couplers, high-density multi-chip modules and custom hybrid-microcircuit filters and transformers; naval aircraft landing and launching equipment; and next generation product introductions based on nanotechnology and micro-electromechanical (MEMS) systems.
We completed the acquisition of Cryptek on July 7, 2009. These newly acquired product lines contributed approximately $3,340,000 to net sales, and a loss of $(960,000) in operating earnings in the three months ended August 31, 2009. Due to the nature of the acquisition, the Company required several weeks to establish a normal course business. The business assumed normal due course in the final month of the quarter as the Company cleared issues related to national security of countries in which it operates, including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The current economic slowdown has affected our business as some of our customers have reduced their orders during the three months ended August 31, 2009 but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys near-term earnings as our markets are strong. In addition, our continued strategy to consolidate facilities in order to enhance operational efficiency is expected to further lessen the potential negative impact. We can offer no assurances, however, that the current economic situation will not materially adversely affect our business and operations.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues of the Company are derived from the sales of two product lines: Secure Communications and Electronic Components and Sub-Systems. The acquisition of Cryptek on July 7, 2009 contributed to the new Secure Communications product lines. Our customers are located primarily in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, but we also sell products to customers located throughout the world, including many NATO and European Union countries.
Electronic Components and Sub-System Revenue

These products specifically include TEMPEST desktops, laptops, monitors, printers and other computer peripherals plus secure faxes and modems.
The principal market for these products is the military/defense industry of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom including many of the NATO and European Union countries. These highly engineered products and systems include: Tempest & Emanation products and services, ruggedized computers and peripherals, network security appliances and software.
Cost of Revenue
We conduct most of our design and manufacturing efforts in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom. Cost of Goods Sold primarily consists of costs that were incurred to design, manufacturer, test and ship the product. These costs include raw materials, including freight, direct labor and tooling required to design and build the parts. The cost of testing (labor & equipment) the products throughout the manufacturing process and final testing before the parts are shipped to the customer. Other material costs include provision for obsolete and slow moving inventory, and restructuring charges related to the consolidation of operations.
Operating Expenses
Operating Expenses consist of selling, general, administrative expenses, research and development and restructuring charges.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses include compensation and benefit costs for all employees, including sales and customer service, sales commissions, executive, finance and human resource personnel. Also included in SG&A, is compensation related to stock-based awards to employees and directors. professional services, for accounting, legal, tax, information technology, rent and general corporate expenditures.
Research & development expenses
Research & Development (R&D) expenses represent the cost of our development efforts. R&D expenses include salaries of engineers, technicians and related overhead expenses, the cost of materials utilized in research, and additional engineering or consulting services. R&D costs are expenses as incurred.
Business acquisition restructuring charges
Business acquisition restructuring charges include restructuring charges directly related to the acquisition.
Restructuring charges
Restructuring charges include expenses related to the Companys efforts to consolidate operations.
Acquisition-related charges
Acquisition-related charges primarily represent costs of engaging outside legal, accounting, due diligence and business valuation consultants related to business combinations.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income and (expense) consists of interest income on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, interest expense on notes payable, operating loans and capital leases, gain or losses on disposal of property and equipment, and gain or losses on foreign currency transactions. Other income also includes acquisition-related gains when net assets acquired exceed purchase price of the business acquisition.
Backlog
Management uses a number of data to measure the growth of the business. A key measure for growth is sales backlog. The Companys sales backlog at August 31, 2009 was $19,636,542 compared to $13,912,733 for the same period in 2008, an increase of approximately $5,725,000.
Our backlog figures represent confirmed customer purchase orders that the Company has not shipped at the time the figures were calculated, which have a delivery date within a 12-month period. We have very little insight on the timing of new contract releases and, as such, the backlog can increase or decrease significantly based on timing.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2009 and 2008
The following discussion of results of operations is a comparison of the Companys three months ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.

We recorded a 16.4% increase in revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2009 over the same period in 2008. The increase is largely attributed to the Cryptek acquisition completed on July 7, 2009. The decrease of 27.0% in our electronics component and military systems segment is related to one of its subsidiaries having to significantly reduce selling prices to a major customer for products that are now mainly manufactured overseas and due to a slowdown in orders shipped to this major customer. This is the final quarter that the selling price adjustment will impact comparison to fiscal 2009. In addition, the first quarter of the Companys fiscal year is typically the slowest quarter of the year.

Gross profit margin varies from period to period and can be affected by a number of factors, including product mix, new product introduction and production efficiency. Overall cost of revenue as a percentage increased in the three months ended August 31, 2009 compared with the same period in 2008. The electronics components and sub-systems product line cost of sales decreased compared to the same period in 2008, mainly as a result of the Company realizing benefits achieved through the consolidation efforts during the last fiscal year but was offset by the gross margin in the secure communications product lines, as the product line as a group was at the historical bottom of its business cycle as the subsidiaries in the United States and Canada sell to government agencies, whose purchasing cycle decreases significantly during the summer months.

Table of Contents
Selling expenses increased to $766,556 for the three months ended August 31, 2009 from $671,653 for the three months ended August 31, 2008. The increase was largely due to the inclusion of selling expenses related to the asset acquisition of Cryptek on July 7, 2009. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses were 8.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2009, compared to 8.5% for the three months ended August 31, 2008.

Acquisition Related Charges
Total acquisition related charges for the three months ended August 31, 2009 amounted to approximately $564,000. These charges are entirely related to the asset acquisition of CRYPTEK on July 7, 2009. The charges include approximately $150,000 in professional legal and accounting fees plus accrued charges related to the acquisition of the assets.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development increased to $1,192,464 for the three months ended August 31, 2009 from $935,332 for the three months ended August 31, 2008. The increase is due primarily to an increase of research and development expenses in the amount of approximately $90,000 at API NRC and the addition of approximately $100,000 from the operations of Cryptek. API NRCs Somerset, New Jersey facility provides the Company with unique and powerful material processing and fabrication capabilities. These capabilities span from silicon wafer processing to the very latest electronic and optical fabrication technologies based in nanoscience and MEMS. This facility is the centerpiece of the Companys research and development program.
Operating Loss
The Company posted an operating loss for the three months ended August 31, 2009 of $2,212,689 compared to a loss of $927,323 for the three months ended August 31, 2008. The increased operating loss of approximately $1,300,000 is attributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $620,000 and acquisition related expenses of approximately $564,000, all related to the acquisition of Cryptek. In addition, research and development expenses increased by approximately $260,000 compared to the same period in 2008.
Other (Income) And Expense
Total other income for the three months ended August 31, 2009 amounted to $1,448,807, compared to $114,608 for the three months ended August 31, 2008.
20
Table of Contents
The increase is largely attributable to a gain on the acquisition of Cryptek of approximately $1,370,000 as the fair value of the assets acquired exceed the total acquisition cost. In addition, the Company benefited from a gain of approximately $80,000 on the sale of a parcel of land adjacent to one of the design and manufacturing sites it leases in Long Island.
Income Taxes
Income taxes amounted to an expense of $18,841 for the three months ended August 31, 2009, compared to an income tax of $73,646 for three months ended August 31, 2008.
We have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,047,000 to apply against future taxable income. These losses will expire as follows: $14,000, $56,000, $68,000, $3,407,000 and $1,502,000 in 2010, 2012, 2017, 2028 and 2029 respectively.
Net Loss
The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2009 of $782,723, compared to a net loss of $886,361 for the three months ended August 31, 2008. The decrease in net loss compared to the same period in 2008 is attributed to a decrease in revenues for the electronic component and sub-system product line, offset by a gain on acquisition less costs incurred during the acquisition. In addition, the first quarter of the Companys fiscal year is typically the slowest quarter of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Three Months Ended August 31, 2009 compared to the Year Ended May 31, 2009
At August 31, 2009, we held cash of $2,886,436 compared to $2,429,928 at May 31, 2009.
Cash used by operating activities was approximately $1,586,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2009, compared to approximately $405,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2008, an increase of approximately $1,181,000. The increase is related to increased operating loss offset by cost reductions resulting from the consolidation of operations executed during the previous fiscal year in an effort to reduce costs and improve efficiencies and the gain recorded on the acquisition of Cryptek.
Investing activities for the three months ended August 31, 2009 consisted mainly of the sale of a parcel of land the Company owned in Long Island, New York for proceeds of approximately $951,000 net of the acquisition for the assets of Cryptek for a net cash total of approximately $2,935,000.
Cash flow from financing activities totaled $3,929,817 primarily from net proceeds of $3,650,000 (2008-$0) from the issuance of convertible debt and short term borrowings of approximately $280,000. In 2008, cash flow from financing activities was approximately $1,300,000 mainly as a result from the issuance of common shares.
One of our Canadian subsidiaries has a line of credit of approximately $900,000 (Cdn $1,000,000). At August 31, 2009, this operation had an outstanding balance of $283,805 (May 31, 2009$0). The interest rate on any borrowed funds is charged at Canadian prime. The lender has a general security agreement and a first collateral mortgage on the Filtran assets and building. The line is subject to annual renewal on May 31, 2010.
On July 7, 2009, API Cryptek, Inc. (API Cryptek), a newly formed subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Cryptek through foreclosure on API Crypteks security interest and liens in the Cryptek assets, and subsequent sale under the Uniform Commercial Code. API Cryptek was the successful bidder of the Cryptek assets at the sale, by bidding the total amount owed by Cryptek to API Cryptek under loan documents previously purchased by API Cryptek for $5,000,000 (the Loan Documents). The purchase of the Loan Documents was financed with cash from corporate funds and proceeds of $3,650,000 from a private placement of secured convertible promissory notes completed June 23, 2009.
The Company believes that cash flows from operations and funds available under its subsidiary credit facility will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
At August 31, 2009 our working capital was sufficient to meet our current requirements.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Companys significant accounting policies are fully described in the notes to its consolidated financial statements. Some of the Companys accounting policies involved estimates that required managements judgment in the use of assumptions about matters that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made. Different estimates, with respect to key variables used for the calculations, or changes to estimates, could potentially have had a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. The development and selection of the critical accounting estimates are described below.
21
Table of Contents
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of API Nanotronics Corp., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Inventory
Inventories, which include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the net realizable values of long-lived assets, principally identifiable intangibles and capital assets, for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, as determined based on the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If such assets were considered to be impaired, the carrying value of the related assets would be reduced to their estimated fair value. Management has determined there no impairment of long-lived assets as of August 31, 2009.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets result primarily from business acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment by applying a fair value based test.
The Goodwill recorded on our consolidated financial statements relates to the acquisition of the Filtran and Filtran Inc., which was completed in 2002. We perform goodwill impairment testing under the provisions of statement of Financial Accounting Standards no. 142, using the discounted future cash flows technique as provided by the FASB Concepts Statements No. 7, Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements. When the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of the goodwill is compared with the carrying amount to measure whether there is an impairment loss. The Companys impairment test based on future cash flows significantly exceeded the carrying value of the assets each quarter, and the Company has determined there was no impairment in goodwill as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009.
Intangible assets that have a finite life are amortized using the following basis over the following period:
Non-compete agreements |
Straight-line over 5 years | |
Customer contracts |
Based on revenue earned on the contract | |
Computer software |
3-5 years | |
Patents |
Life of the patents |
Revenue Recognition
Contract Revenue
Revenue from contracts is recognized using the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is determined based on costs incurred, excluding costs that are not representative of progress to completion, as a percentage of total costs anticipated for each contract. A provision is made for losses on contracts in progress when such losses first become known. Revisions in cost and profit estimates, which can be significant, are reflected in the accounting period in which the relevant facts become known.
Non-Contract Revenue
We recognize non-contract revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider non-contract revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped and risk of loss and ownership has transferred to the client.
22
Table of Contents
Deferred Revenue
We defer revenue when payment is received in advance of the service or product being shipped or delivered (see Contract Revenue and Non-Contract Revenue above).
Warranty
The Company provides up to a one-year product defect warranty on various products from the date of sale. Historically, warranty costs have been nominal and have been within managements expectations. The Company has accrued approximately $607,000 and $81,000, in warranty liability as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, respectively, which has been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are recorded when incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company follows SFAS 123R which revised SFAS 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25, the Company used the intrinsic value method for employee stock options and did not record any expense because option exercise prices equaled the market value at the date of grant. SFAS 123R required that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as grants of stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over their vesting periods. The Company has also considered the related guidance of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) included in Staff Accounting Bulletins (SAB) No. 107 and No. 110. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and restricted stock based on the quoted market price. The Company also follows the guidance in EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services for equity instruments issued to consultants.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Companys functional currency is United States dollars and the consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars, the reporting currency. Integrated operations have been translated from Canadian dollars into United States dollars at the year-end exchange rate for monetary balance sheet items, the historical rate for shareholders equity, and the average exchange rate for the year for revenues, expenses, gains and losses. The gains or losses on translation are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the period.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. By their nature, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and the effect on the consolidated financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be material.
Receivables and Credit Policies
Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing, uncollateralized customer obligations. Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts billed to the customer. Customer account balances with invoices over 90 days old are considered delinquent. Payments of accounts receivable are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customers remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects managements estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions, which are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Management monitors the soundness of these institutions and has not experienced any collection losses with these institutions.
23
Table of Contents
The U.S. Department of Defense (directly and through subcontractors) accounts for approximately 71 percent and 73 percent for 2009 and 2008, respectively, of the Companys revenue. One of these customers represented approximately 15 percent and 16 percent of revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively. No customers represented over 10 percent of accounts receivable as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss), which includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains on marketable securities, is shown in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity.
Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FAS 168). This statement provides for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to become the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. FAS 168 does not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165), which provides guidance on events that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements. SFAS No. 165 distinguishes events requiring recognition in the financial statements and those that may require disclosure in the financial statements. Furthermore, SFAS No. 165 requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 165 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP-FAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FAS 142-3). FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The objective of the Staff Position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007): Business Combinations (SFAS 141R) and other GAAP. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142-3 for the quarter ended August 31, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP-FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FAS No. 107-1/APB 28-1). This FSP extends to interim periods certain disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for publicly traded companies and amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Companys adoption of FAS No. 107-1/APB 28-1 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) for its financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The adoption of SFAS 157 to the financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have any impact on our financial results. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2 Effective Date of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 157, the Company has elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until June 1, 2009. The Companys adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entitys financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entitys liquidity from using In derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statements to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is exposed to market risks related to changes in foreign currency and interest rates as discussed below. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Foreign Currency Risk
A substantial amount of our revenues and receivables are denominated in Canadian dollars and British pounds. The Company translates revenue and the related receivable at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the sale. Also, a substantial amount of our expenses and payables/bank operating loans are denominated in Canadian dollars and British pounds. We translate expenses and the related payables at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the purchase. Funds denominated in Canadian dollars or British pounds are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses resulting from variations in exchange rates, upon translation into U.S. dollars, are included in results of operations for integrated operations. The Companys Canadian subsidiaries, Filtran Limited and Emcon Emanation Control Limited, and the Companys United Kingdom subsidiary Secure Systems & Technologies, Ltd. are self-sustaining operations and they are translated at the current rates of exchange whereby all exchange gains and losses are accumulated in the foreign translation account on the balance sheet.
Any increase in the relative value of the Canadian dollar or the British pound to the U.S. dollar result in increased revenue and increased expenses. A decrease in the relative value of the Canadian dollar or British pound to the U.S. dollar would decrease sales revenue and decreased expenses.
Other (income) loss for the three months ended August 31, 2009 included ($18,673) of foreign exchange gains, compared to ($106,985) in 2008.
The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to any leveraged derivatives. It does not engage in hedging transactions to manage its foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Management believes that we have limited exposure to changes in interest rates.
Long-term Debt Risk
At August 31, 2009, the Company had long-term debt of $5,623,236, compared to $89,748 for the year ended May 31, 2009. The Company issued convertible promissory notes to a group of investors for $3,650,000 at a fixed interest rate that it used to successfully acquire the assets of Cryptek on July 7, 2009. Included in the acquisition was a mortgage that a subsidiary of Cryptek held in the United Kingdom for their design and manufacturing center. Interest on the mortgage is charged at a margin of 1.35% over Barclays Fixed Base Rate. A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in an annual change in net income (loss) of approximately ($19,000) based on the August 31, 2009 mortgage balance of $1,866,501. Substantially all of the remaining debt is fixed rate debt and accordingly there is currently no significant impact on cash flows associated with its long-term debt.
Capital Leases Payable Risk
At August 31, 2009, the Company had capital leases payable of $17,118, compared to $18,707 for the year ended May 31, 2009. The debt underlying capital leases payable is fixed rate debt and accordingly there is currently no significant interest rate risk associated with its capital leases payable.
Short-Term Borrowings Risk
At August 31, 2009, the Company had a line of credit facility in place for one of its subsidiaries in the amount of $915,000 ($1,000,000 CDN). Total bank indebtedness at August 31, 2009 was $283,805 compared to $0 at May 31, 2009. The line of credit facility is variable rate debt tied to the prime rate in Canada. Accordingly, we are subject to risk of prime rate increases that would increase its interest expense. A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in an annual change in net income (loss) of approximately ($3,000) based on the August 31, 2009 bank indebtedness.

Marketable Securities and Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk
The Company periodically holds cash equivalents consisting of investments in money market instruments. At August 31, 2009, it held cash and cash equivalent investments of $2,886,436 (May 31, 2009$2,429,928). This helps mitigate the risk of any interest rate increases in its line of credit. These cash equivalent investments are subject to interest rate changes and interest income will fluctuate directly with changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in an annual change in net income (loss) before income taxes of approximately $29,000 based on the August 31, 2009 cash and cash equivalent balance. The Company held marketable securities of $96,840 as of August 31, 2009, compared to $129,085 at May 31, 2009. A hypothetical 10% market price increase would result in an annual change in other comprehensive income (loss) before taxes of approximately $10,000 based on the August 31, 2009 marketable securities balance. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the market price of our marketable equity securities at August 31, 2009 would cause a corresponding 10% decrease in the carrying amounts of these securities or other comprehensive loss of $10,000.
The Company does not enter into derivative instruments to manage interest rate exposure.
ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Controls and Procedures
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of August 31, 2009 based upon the procedures required under paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. On the basis of this evaluation, our management has concluded that as of August 31, 2009 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives. However, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
(b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
During the quarter ended August 31, 2009, there has been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
