MICRONETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary in order to present fairly the financial position as of July 2, 2011 and the results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010.

The Company reports its fiscal quarters for the 13-week period ending on the Saturday nearest June 30, September 30 and December 31. As a result, the first and fourth quarter may be more or less than 13 weeks, by 1 to 6 days, which can affect comparability between periods. The first quarter of Fiscal 2012 has 91 days versus 87 days in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011. The Company’s current fiscal year end is March 31, 2012.

The Company evaluated its July 2, 2011 financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2012.

2. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of operations and basis of consolidation—Micronetics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Micronetics”) are engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of a broad range of high performance wireless components, test equipment and integrated multifunction subassemblies used in cellular, microwave, satellite, radar and communication systems around the world.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Micronetics and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Microwave & Video Systems, Inc. (“MVS”), Microwave Concepts, Inc. (“MicroCon”), Stealth Microwave, Inc. (“Stealth”) and MICA Microwave Corporation (“MICA”). All intercompany activity has been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments include revenue recognition, assumptions used in stock option and goodwill valuations, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, accrued liabilities, and deferred income taxes and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition—The Company generates revenue from the sale of products, technology development, and licensing. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of product has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and no future services are required. The Company’s products are primarily hardware components and to a lesser extent integrated assembly which includes microwave hardware and embedded software, that are delivered to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of telecommunication and networking products who are considered to be end users.

The Company occasionally enters into contracts for production of customized microwave and radio frequency components and integrated sub-assemblies for which it records revenue based on the percentage of completion method (assuming all other requirements for revenue recognition have been satisfied) typically using labor hours to measure progress toward completion of the contract as the Company has determined this methodology best reflects the fundamentals of the contract. If estimates to complete the contract change materially from one period to the next, profit levels could significantly vary. We currently have no such contracts in process that require the percentage of completion method for revenue recognition.

Table of Contents

Deferred revenue represents billings in excess of revenue recognized and unbilled revenue represents revenue recognized in excess of billings.

The Company sells its products using a direct sales force and sales representatives. The Company’s standard terms of sale do not include product return rights or price protection. The estimated cost of product warranties are accrued based on historical experience at the time the revenue is recognized. Unless customers purchase an extended warranty, Micronetics typically offers a one-year warranty.

Recently enacted accounting pronouncements— In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force),” which amends ASC 605-25, “Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements.” ASU No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how to allocate consideration to each unit of accounting in the arrangement. This ASU replaces all references to fair value as the measurement criteria with the term selling price and establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. ASU No. 2009-13 also eliminates the use of the residual value method for determining the allocation of arrangement consideration. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-13 requires expanded disclosures. This ASU became effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” ASU No. 2009-14 amends ASC 985-605, “Software: Revenue Recognition,” such that tangible products, containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality, are no longer within the scope of ASC 985-605. It also amends the determination of how arrangement consideration should be allocated to deliverables in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement. This ASU became effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Both ASU No. 2009-13 and ASU No. 2009-14 were adopted in the same period and use the same transition disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements— In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (ASC Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareowners’ equity. The provisions of this ASU will be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. No triggering events requiring an interim impairment test occurred in the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011.

Term Loan and Revolver

In March 2007, the Company entered into a credit facility which consists of a $6.5 million five year secured term loan and a $5.0 million three year revolving line of credit. In the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the revolving line of credit was extended by two years.

On August 13, 2010 the Company entered into an amended term loan and revolving line of credit agreement under which the revolving line of credit was increased to $7.5 million and extended by one additional year and now expires on March 31, 2013. The term loan is guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The term loan is payable in quarterly principal installments of $325,000 plus accrued interest at the rate of 5.2% plus the applicable margin. At July 2, 2011, the interest rate was 8.2%. The final payment for the term loan is due in April 2012. The revolving line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. At July 2, 2011, the interest rate was 3.19%. The Company had approximately $.4 million available under the line of credit at July 2, 2011.

In April 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $6.5 million to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the term loan. The interest rate swap was not designated as a hedging instrument at the initiation of the swap, and therefore the Company has not applied hedge accounting. As a result, at the end of each reporting period, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, with any related gains or losses included in earnings. The notional amount of this swap agreement was $975,000 at July 2, 2011.

The Company was in compliance with its bank covenants at July 2, 2011. Under the terms of the amended term loan and the revolving line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis, including total funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.5:1, minimum debt service coverage of 1.25:1, a minimum current ratio of 1.25:1 and minimum tangible net worth of $9.2 million.

Capital Leases

Commercial capital leases payable are reflected at their present value based upon interest of approximately 6.8% per annum, and are secured by the underlying assets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Included in the current portion of long-term debt is $113,645 for capital lease obligations. The remaining interest associated with the Company’s capital lease obligations amounts to approximately $2,913 over the lease terms.

8. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

During fiscal 2007, the Company adopted a stock option plan entitled “The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan” (the “2006 Plan”) under which the Company may grant shares of restricted stock or stock options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. As of July 2, 2011 there were 305,000 options outstanding under the 2006 Plan.

The 2006 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a Committee of the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine the persons to whom the options may be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each option grant, and the terms and provisions of each option grant. Options granted under the 2006 Plan may be incentive stock options or non-qualified options, and may be issued to employees, consultants, advisors and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and may not be granted more than ten years from the date of adoption of the plan or exercised more than ten years from the date of grant.

Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested options is approximately $0.3 million, and will be recorded over the remaining vesting period of 3.2 years. This estimate is based on the number of unvested options currently outstanding and could change based on the number of options granted or forfeited in the future.

There were 20,000 options granted during the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and no options granted during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010. The fair value of options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 were as follows:

 

Risk free interest rate

     2.05 – 2.52

Expected life

     6.25 years   

Expected volatility

     67.95 – 68.11

     2.92

Expected dividend yield

     0

The per share fair value of stock options granted for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 was $2.64.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 36.5% for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and 42.5% for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate relates primarily to additional benefits for domestic production activities tax deduction and R&D tax credits.

As of April 1, 2010, the Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is open to examination for tax years March 31, 2008 through 2011.

As of July 2, 2011, there are no uncertain tax benefits recognized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax position as a component of income tax expense, if any.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed based on the net income for each period divided by the weighted average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the net income or loss per period divided by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period unless the effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. The computations of basic and diluted EPS for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010 are:

 

     Thirteen Weeks Ended  
     July 2, 2011      June 26, 2010

Table of Contents

At July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, 126,000 and 149,000 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company assesses fair value as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, this standard establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes, in descending order, the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2 — Inputs used to measure fair value, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 — Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include the following as of July 2, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

The fair value of the money market fund was determined based on pricing provided by a large investment bank. Since the valuation was not observable, the Company has classified these as level 2 securities. There has been no change in the fair value of the money market fund since July 2, 2011. The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined by using a market driven valuation model using the LIBOR rate forecast applied to common intervals for the remaining term of the interest rate swap.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

On September 4, 2008, Micronetics, Inc. entered into a lease with SBJ Development, LLC (the “Landlord”) for a new headquarters for Stealth Microwave, Inc, its subsidiary. The property is located in the Township of Ewing, New Jersey. The lease has an initial term of five years and contains three options to extend the lease, each for a term of five years. The annual rent for the initial term of the lease is $225,600.

Kevin Beals, President of Micronetics, is a member of the Landlord. Mr. Beals owns sixteen percent of the outstanding units of membership interest of the Landlord.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Micronetics reviewed and approved the terms of the lease prior to its execution.

13. MAJOR CUSTOMER

The Company sells primarily to original equipment manufacturers of communications equipment in either the commercial or the defense electronics marketplace. Many of those customers are prime contractors for defense work or Fortune 500 companies with world-wide operations. One customer, ITT Electronic Warfare Systems, accounted for 33% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and 31% for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010. This same customer accounted for 29% of the Company’s accounts receivable at July 2, 2011 and 35% of the Company’s accounts receivable at March 31, 2011.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report contain words such as “could,” “expects,” “may,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “envisions,” and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate and are merely our current predictions of future events. In addition, other written or oral statements which are considered forward-looking may be made by us or others on our behalf. These statements are subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and the actual outcome may be materially different. Some of the factors which could cause results or events to differ from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the factors described here, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect new information or developments.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. We urge readers to review carefully the risk factors described herein, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can read these documents at www.sec.gov. If any of these risks, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not significant, develops into an actual event, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock could decline.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements and the data used to prepare them. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments include revenue recognition, assumptions used in stock option and goodwill valuations, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, useful lives of long lived assets, accrued liabilities, and deferred income taxes and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current business conditions and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We discuss recently issued accounting standards in Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2.

Overview

Micronetics designs and manufactures high performance microwave and radio frequency (RF) components and integrated multifunction subassemblies used in a variety of commercial wireless, defense and aerospace products, including satellite communications, electronic warfare and electronic counter-measures. We also manufacture and design test equipment, subassemblies and components used to test the strength, durability and integrity of signals in communications equipment. Our products are embedded in a variety of radars, electronic warfare systems, guidance systems, wireless telecommunications and satellite equipment. Our microwave devices are used on subassemblies and integrated systems in addition to being sold on a component basis.

We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers of communications equipment in either the commercial or the defense electronics marketplace. Many of our customers are prime contractors for defense applications and/or Fortune 500 companies with world-wide operations.

A key driver of demand for our products is the pervasive transformation of information from the analog domain to the digital domain. Because digital technologies require greater degrees of precision and rely more on miniature circuits than analog technologies, testing is critical for the rapid commercialization of reliable products necessitated by broadband and wireless communication technologies. As the speed to market challenges increase, larger companies are relying increasingly on other companies to manufacture a module or an integrated subassembly. This module or subassembly is then integrated by

the larger company into a piece of equipment and sold to a customer. Micronetics has been seeking to capitalize on this trend by increasing its capability to manufacture integrated subassemblies. Our goal is to leverage our high power and noise technology to continue to be a highly reliable supplier of integrated microwave subsystems.

Results of Operations

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 2, 2011 compared to June 26, 2010

Net sales

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 (“Q1 FY 12”) were $10,039,293, an increase of $672,599, or 7% as compared to $9,366,694 for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010 (“Q1 FY 11”). The increase in sales was due primarily to an increase in component sales for defense applications.

Gross margin

Gross margin for Q1 FY 12 was approximately 32% as compared to 36% for Q1 FY 11. The decrease in gross margin was a result of increases in our manufacturing cost base to support converting our current backlog into sales combined with start-up costs incurred during Q1 FY12 associated with new contract shipments. Our gross margin for Q1 FY 12 of approximately 32% represents an improvement of approximately 3% as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 in which gross margin was approximately 29%.

Research and development

Research and development expense for Q1 FY 12 was $413,695 as compared to $487,011 for Q1 FY 11, a decrease of $73,316 or 15%. The decrease was due to lower spending on new applications for commercial components. Our research and development expense varies to a certain degree based upon emerging technologies, shifts in product requirements and our assessment of future business opportunities.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense for Q1 FY 12 was $1,756,996 as compared to $1,885,156 for Q1 FY 11, representing a decrease of $128,160 or 7%. Approximately $66,000 of the decrease was due to lower bad debt expense associated with strong collections. All other expenses decreased by approximately $62,000.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization expense attributable to our intangible assets related to previous acquisitions was $78,511 in Q1 FY 12 as compared to $87,024 in Q1 FY 11. The decrease of $8,513 was due to completing amortization of certain intangible assets.

Interest expense

Interest expense for Q1 FY 12 was $81,610 as compared to $105,536 for Q1 FY 11, a decrease of $23,926 or 23%. The decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates offset to some degree by higher average debt in Q1 FY 12 as compared to Q1 FY 11.

Interest rate swap

A positive change in fair value of $34,597 was recorded for Q1 FY 12 as compared to positive change in fair value of $31,540 recorded in Q1 FY 11 on the interest rate swap agreement entered into in April 2007 to mitigate interest rate fluctuations on our term loan.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate for Q1 FY 12 was 36.5% as compared to 42.5% for Q1 FY 11. The decrease in the effective tax rate relates primarily to additional benefits for domestic production activities tax deduction and R&D tax credits.

Backlog

Our backlog is approximately $31 million as of July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operating and investment requirements primarily through operating cash flows and borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents were $964,149 and $745,116, respectively, at July 2, 2011 and March 31, 2011. Working capital defined as accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, inventory, prepaid expenses, other current assets net of accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue was $15,518,439 and $15,086,387 at July 2, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Borrowings under our revolving line of credit were $7,030,645 and $6,714,319 at July 2, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

Our current ratio was approximately 1.74 at both July 2, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

In the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 net cash provided by operating activities was $834,307 as compared to $1,069,240 for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010.

In the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011, cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in working capital reserves and an unrealized gain on interest rate swap was approximately $1.0 million. Approximately $0.2 million was used for working capital needs. Of this amount, approximately $0.8 million was provided by receivables and unbilled/deferred revenue, approximately $1.7 million was used to fund inventory requirements, approximately $0.4 million was provided by accounts payable and accrued expenses and $0.3 million was provided by a reduction in prepaid tax assets.

In the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010, cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in working capital reserves and an unrealized gain on interest rate swap was approximately $1.0 million. Approximately $0.2 million was used for working capital needs. Of this amount, approximately $0.4 million was provided by receivables collections and unbilled/deferred revenue, approximately $0.1 million was provided by accounts payable and accrued expenses. Approximately $0.6 million was used to fund inventory requirements as a result of increased sales levels and approximately $0.1 million was used to fund prepaid expenses. In addition approximately $0.4 million was provided by a reduction in prepaid taxes and approximately $0.1 million use was the result of a non-cash charge related to a deferred tax asset associated with the expiration of non-qualified stock options. There is an offset to this amount in additional paid in capital.

Net cash used in investing activities was $237,761 during the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $205,495 in the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010. In the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, investing activities was solely comprised of capital expenditures.

Net cash used for financing activities was $377,513 during the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 as compared to $574,290 during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010.

In the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011, we borrowed approximately $0.3 million from our line of credit, repaid term debt of approximately $0.6 million and paid approximately $0.1 million for capital lease obligations. Due to the timing of the quarter and the calendar quarter and due to two payments on our term loan, an additional $0.3 million of debt payments occurred in the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011.

In the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2010, we repaid term debt of approximately $0.3 million, paid approximately $0.1 million for capital lease obligations and repaid approximately $0.3 million to our line of credit. In addition, approximately $0.1 million of a deferred tax asset related to the cancellation of non-qualified stock options was charged to additional paid in capital.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, anticipated future cash receipts, and borrowings available under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due for the next twelve months. However, a decrease in our sales or demand for our products would likely adversely affect our working capital amounts. As part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses. These potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which, in turn, may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to consummate any such transaction. There are no current plans to raise additional debt or equity capital, nor is there a projected need to raise any such capital.

Term Loan and Revolver

In March 2007, we entered into a credit facility consisting of a $6.5 million five year secured term loan and a $5.0 million three year revolving line of credit, which replaced the then existing $6.0 million term loan entered into in June 2005. In December 2008 we extended the term of the revolving line of credit for two years.

We entered into an interest rate swap agreement in April 2007 to mitigate interest rate fluctuations on the term loan. At the end of each reporting period we record the current fair value of the interest rate swap on the balance sheet. Any unrealized gain or loss on the swap is included in earnings.

On August 13, 2010 we entered into an amended term loan and revolving line of credit agreement. Under the terms of the amended revolving line of credit agreement, the revolving line of credit was increased from $5.0 million to $7.5 million and extended by one year. The revolving line of credit now expires on March 31, 2013.

At July 2, 2011 we were in compliance with our bank covenants. Under the terms of the amended term loan and revolving line of credit agreement we are required to maintain certain financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis, including total funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.5:1, minimum debt service coverage of 1.25, a minimum current ratio of 1.25:1 and minimum tangible net worth of $9.2 million.

The term loan and revolving line of credit are guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets. The term loan is payable in quarterly principal installments of $325,000 plus accrued interest at the rate of 5.2% plus the applicable margin. The final payment for the term loan is due in April 2012.

The revolving line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. At July 2, 2011, we had approximately $0.4 million available under the line of credit.

Capital Leases

Commercial capital leases payable are reflected at their present value based upon interest rates of approximately 6.8% per annum, and are secured by the underlying assets. Included in the current portion of long-term debt is $113,645 for capital lease obligations. The remaining interest associated with our capital lease obligations amounts to approximately $2,913 over the lease terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases that have or are, in the opinion of management, likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investing activities.

We are subject to interest rate exposure on our revolving line of credit. Our revolving line of credit interest rate is tied to LIBOR. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our term debt. Our interest rate swap has not been designated as a hedging instrument, therefore changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings.

We conduct our transactions with foreign customers in U.S. dollars. Although we are not subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations directly, demand from foreign customers may be affected by the relative change in value of the customer’s currency to the value of the U.S. dollar. Changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar may also change our prices relative to the prices of our foreign competitors.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures—As of July 2, 2011, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 2, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control—There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Important considerations—The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
