NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by Tii Network Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (together “Tii,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011.
 
Results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Reclassifications

Approximately $166,000 has been reclassified from other assets to intangible assets subject to amortization as of December 31, 2010 in order to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our more significant estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories and deferred income taxes, the preliminary estimated purchase price and allocation of such purchase price relating to the acquisition of the Frederick Fiber Optics (“F2O”) (see Note 2), the fair value of share-based payments, and the valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets. Actual amounts could differ from such estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our cash deposits were maintained at three high credit quality financial institutions.  At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our Mexican subsidiary maintains its accounting records in Mexican Pesos, which is its functional currency.  Our United Kingdom subsidiary maintains its accounting records in Pound Sterling, which is its functional currency.  We translate the foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates at the end of the respective reporting periods and reflect the effect of foreign currency translation as a component of stockholders’ equity.  Income and expense items are translated at an average exchange rate during the period.  Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of the results from operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our acquisitions of the Porta Copper Products Division and F2O have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting (see Note 2).  The assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill.  All acquisition costs were expensed as incurred.  We measure and test goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other,” at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is “more likely than not” that goodwill or intangible assets might be impaired, such as a change in business conditions.  We performed the annual test of goodwill for impairment in April 2011.  The fair value of our one reporting unit  exceeded the carrying value and therefore step two of the impairment test was not required.  No impairment of goodwill was recorded as a result of the annual test for impairment.

Other intangible assets, which include customer contracts and relationships of the Porta Copper Products Division, are amortized by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  We test intangible assets that are subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carry value may not be recoverable.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (ASU No. 2009-13”), which amends the revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements and expands the disclosure requirements related to such arrangements.  The new guidance amends the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements, establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, eliminates the residual method of allocation, and requires the application of relative selling price method in allocating the arrangement consideration to all deliverables.  We adopted ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011. This did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU 2010-28”). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts by requiring an entity to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. We adopted ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. This did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”). This amendment affects any public entity (as defined by Topic 805, “Business Combinations”) that enters into business combinations consummated after January 1, 2011 and that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. ASU 2010-29 provides that comparative financial statements should present and disclose proforma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendment also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to require a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. We adopted ASU 2010-29 on January 1, 2011. This did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 – Acquisition

On March 11, 2011, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of F2O for an initial cash payment of $750,000, and two contingent cash payments of $125,000 to be made based on the achievement of certain performance objectives over the two years following the acquisition, which are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011.  F2O, headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, manufactures a wide variety of high performance fiber optic cable assemblies, wall and rack mounted fiber distribution panels, and miscellaneous fiber accessories and services.  This acquisition was made in order to expand our fiber optic product offerings.

The following is a preliminary summary of the fair value of the net assets acquired, exclusive of $33,000 of acquired cash, as a result of the March 11, 2011 acquisition of F2O:

Assets
     
Accounts receivable
  $ 251,000  
Inventories
    175,000  
Prepaid expenses and other assets
    4,000  
Property and equipment
    31,000  
Goodwill
    510,000  
Distributor relationships
    151,000  
         
Liabilities
       
Accounts payable
    (101,000 )
Accrued expenses
    (54,000 )
         
Total net purchase price, including $250,000 in accrued contingent consideration
  $ 967,000  

The above purchase price allocation is preliminary, as we have not yet completed our assessment of the fair values of the net assets acquired in this acquisition.  Therefore, a portion of the goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction as of June 30, 2011 may be reclassified to identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization when we complete our assessment. On a pro forma basis, had the F2O acquisition taken place as of January 1, 2010, our results of operations since then would not have been materially affected.

Note 3 – Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net income, as income or loss, foreign currency translation gains and losses, the accumulated effect of which is included in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.  We reported comprehensive income of $828,000 and $271,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  We reported comprehensive income of $1,667,000 and $734,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Note 4 – Share–Based Payment

Share-based payment compensation is attributable to the granting of stock options and awarding of shares of restricted stock, and vesting of these options and shares of restricted stock over the remaining requisite service period. Expense attributable to share-based compensation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $228,000 and $417,000, respectively.  Expense attributable to share-based compensation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $187,000 and $354,000, respectively.

On May 18, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock to four non- employee directors upon their re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors.  These options, which are exercisable at a price of $2.55 per share, the market value thereof on the date of grant, are exercisable in four equal quarterly installments, on a cumulative basis, commencing upon grant.  In accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” we determined that $165,000 was the fair value of those options, of which $41,000 was recorded as share-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we granted restricted stock awards covering 100,000 shares of our common stock with a grant date fair value of $143,000 to our non-employee directors and restricted stock awards covering 175,000 shares of our common stock with a grant date fair value of $296,000 to certain employees.  All restricted stock awards granted are pursuant to our 2008 Equity Compensation Plan. The awards issued to the non-employee directors vest ratably over three years and the awards issued to employees generally vest over three to five years.

In connection with the resignation of a director in January 2010, 12,369 shares of restricted stock and approximately 16,200 unvested options were forfeited, which resulted in a reversal of $15,000 in share-based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (which equals our net income) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and dilutive EPS adds the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 728,000 and 442,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, there were 103,000 and 52,000 restricted stock awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1,843,000, and 1,878,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no restricted stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Note 9 – Credit Facility

In December 2010, we entered into an amendment to our bank credit agreement (the “credit agreement”) which replaced a $5,000,000 credit facility that was expiring.  Under the credit agreement, we are entitled to borrow from the bank up to $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, but limited to a borrowing base which, in general, is equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined), plus the lesser of 30% of eligible inventory (as defined, generally to include, with certain exceptions, inventories at the Company’s continental United States warehouse), after certain reserves, or $1,500,000.  This amendment extended the agreement through December 31, 2013.

TII NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

As of June 30, 2011, our borrowing base was in excess of the amount available to borrow of $5,000,000.  Loans under the credit agreement mature on December 31, 2013.  On April 12, 2011, we borrowed $3,000,000 under the credit agreement.

Outstanding loans under the credit agreement bear interest, at our option, either at (a) the bank's prime rate, provided that the prime rate shall not be less than an adjusted one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (as defined in the credit agreement), or (b) under a formula based on LIBOR plus 1.85% per annum. At June 30, 2011 the interest rate applicable to the outstanding borrowing under the credit agreement was 2.07% per annum.  We also pay a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the credit facility.

Our obligations under the credit agreement are collateralized, pursuant to a Continuing Security Agreement, by all of our accounts receivable and inventory, and are also guaranteed by one of our subsidiaries.

The credit agreement contains various covenants, including financial covenants and covenants that prohibit or limit a variety of actions without the bank's consent. These include, among other things, covenants that prohibit our payment of dividends and limit our ability to repurchase stock, incur or guarantee indebtedness, create liens, purchase all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of another entity, other than certain permitted acquisitions, create or acquire any subsidiary, or substantially change our business. The credit agreement requires us to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, tangible net worth and subordinated debt of at least $28,500,000, a ratio of net income before interest expense and taxes for the 12-month period ending with such fiscal quarter to interest expense for the same period of at least 2.25 to 1.00, and a ratio of total liabilities, excluding accounts payable in the ordinary course of business, accrued expenses and losses and deferred revenues or gains, to net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for the 12-month period ending with the fiscal quarter for which compliance is being determined of not greater than 2.5 to 1.0.   As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in the amended agreement.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our income tax provision consisted of amounts necessary to align our year-to-date tax provision with the effective tax rate we expect for the full year.  That rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of the non-deductibility of certain share-based compensation expense for income tax purposes that has been expensed for financial statement purposes, foreign tax rate differentials and state taxes.

We do not expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.  We file a consolidated U.S. income tax return and tax returns in certain state, local and foreign jurisdictions.  There are no current tax examinations in progress.  As of June 30, 2011, we remain subject to examination in applicable tax jurisdictions for the relevant statute of limitations periods.

Note 12 – Litigation

In February 2009, a lawsuit was filed in Puerto Rico by a former sales representative against us.  The complaint alleges that we terminated our relationship with the former sales representative without just cause and is seeking $1,400,000 in damages, plus attorney’s fees and costs.  Although the timing and ultimate outcome cannot be determined, the Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims are unfounded and that the Company has meritorious defenses and will continue to vigorously defend this case. From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings or claims which arise in the ordinary course of business.  While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the foregoing unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.

Overview

Business

Tii Network Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (together, “Tii,” the “company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) designs, manufactures and sells products to the service providers in the communications industry for use in their networks.  We sell our products through a network of sales channels, principally to telephone operating companies (“Telcos”), multi-system operators (“MSOs”) of communications services, including cable and satellite service providers, and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs").  Our products are typically found in Telcos central offices, outdoors in the service providers’ distribution network, at the interface where the service providers’ network connects to the users’ network, and inside the users’ home or apartment, and are critical to the successful delivery of voice and broadband communication services.

Sales to the Company’s customers are generally through “as ordered” general supply agreements. General supply agreements do not require customers to purchase specific quantities of product and can be terminated for various reasons at any time.  The Company forecasts inventory requirements through historical trends and discussions with our customers.  Most of the sales to a large international customer are currently being made under an agreement that the customer has put out to bid.  The Company is participating in the bidding process and believes that the customer will renew with us on terms that are relatively consistent with the prior contract, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in its bid.  In the event that the Company does not prevail, the Company may have excess inventory in an amount that exceeds the related reserves.

Recent Acquisitions

On March 11, 2011, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Frederick Fiber Optics (“F2O”) for an initial cash payment of $750,000 from available cash on hand, and two contingent cash payments of $125,000 to be made based on the achievement of certain performance objectives over the subsequent two years. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been included in the overall purchase price of F2O based on the assessment that the achievement of these targets is highly probable. F2O, headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, manufactures a wide variety of high performance fiber optic cable assemblies, wall and rack mounted fiber distribution panels, and miscellaneous fiber accessories and services.  This acquisition was made in order to expand our fiber optics product offerings.

On May 19, 2010, we acquired all of the assets, exclusive of cash, and assumed certain operating liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued expenses, of the Copper Products Division of Porta Systems Corp. (the “Porta Copper Products Division”) for cash of $8,150,000, subject to purchase price adjustments. The Porta Copper Products Division was comprised of two wholly owned subsidiaries, one in England and the other in Mexico, as well as domestic assets and liabilities exclusively related to copper telecommunications products.

Concurrent with this acquisition, we sold the acquired Mexican subsidiary, exclusive of customer contracts and certain machinery and equipment which we retained, to our principal contract manufacturer, which is now operating this manufacturing facility.  In consideration for this sale, we received $1,000,000 from the contract manufacturer, subject to purchase price adjustments, as well as an option to reacquire up to approximately 9% of a newly formed entity that now owns the Mexican subsidiary, for a total exercise price of $100,000. We believe that the value of this option, which expired on May 18, 2011, was not material and we did not allocate a portion of the net Porta Copper Products Division purchase price to this option.
 
 
15

 
 
We paid the net purchase price of $7,249,000 predominately from the proceeds of the redemption of our $7,000,000 certificate of deposit.

Additionally, we sold to the contract manufacturer certain raw material and component inventories, which were acquired as part of the Porta Copper Products Division transaction, for approximately $1,175,000.

Our financial statements include, and the following discussion and analysis reflects, the activity of the Porta Copper Products Division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, but only for the period from May 19, 2010 through June 30, 2010 in the reported 2010 periods, and the activity of F2O only since its March 11, 2011 date of acquisition.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $13,576,000 compared to $10,345,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $3,231,000 or 31.2%.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $28,552,000 compared to $18,088,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $10,464,000 or 57.8%.  The sales growth was primarily due to the sales from our Porta Copper Products Division acquired on May 19, 2010, sales from our F2O acquisition on March 11, 2011, and increased sales to existing customers.  Sales from the acquired Porta Copper Products Division and F2O aggregated $4,485,000 and $10, 807,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, accounting for 81% and 85% of the total sales increase for the three and six month period, respectively.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $4,796,000 compared to $3,663,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1,133,000 or 30.9%. Gross profit margin remained relatively consistent at 35.3% in the current year three month period compared to 35.4% in the 2010 three month period. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $9,379,000 compared to $6,854,000 in the prior year period, an increase of $2,525,000 or 36.8%. Gross profit margin decreased to 32.8% from 37.9%.   The gross profit margin decrease was primarily attributable to sales from our acquired Porta Copper Products Division product line which has historically sold at lower margins than our existing products.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $2,803,000 compared to $2,853,000 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $50,000 or 1.8%.  The 2011 three month decrease was primarily attributable to the absence of transaction and integration costs of approximately $607,000 incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 in connection with the Porta Copper Products Division acquisition offset, in large part, by increases in salaries and related benefits resulting from the acquisition and an increase in commissions resulting from the increase in sales.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $5,452,000 compared to $4,902,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $550,000 or 11.2%.  The increase in expenses for the 2011 six month period was due to increases in salaries and related benefits resulting from the Porta Copper Products Division acquisition and an increase in commissions resulting from the increase in sales offset, in part, by the absence of transaction and integration costs of approximately $744,000 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010, which were incurred in connection with the Porta Copper Products Division acquisition.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $627,000 compared to $487,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $140,000 or 28.7%. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $1,290,000 compared to $872,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $418,000 or 48.0%. This increase was primarily attributable to product development expenses resulting from redesigning and qualifying certain of the Porta Copper Products Division products and additional salaries and related benefits resulting from this acquisition.

The foreign currency transaction losses of $33,000 and $91,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, was primarily related to our United Kingdom subsidiary acquired as part of the Porta Copper Products Division acquisition.

We had interest expense of $14,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and none in the prior year.  Interest expense was the result of borrowing $3,000,000 on our credit facility during the current quarter to support our higher levels of accounts receivable and inventories related to our acquired businesses.

We had no interest income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.  Interest income was $3,000 and $9,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The reduction was due to the redemption of our $7,000,000 certificate of deposit in May 2010 for use in funding our acquisition of the Porta Copper Products Division.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $491,000 and $134,000, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $914,000 and $434,000, respectively.  Our income tax provision for each period consisted of amounts necessary to align our year-to-date tax provision with the effective tax rate we expect to achieve for the full year.  That rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of the non-deductibility of certain share-based compensation expense for income tax purposes that has been recognized for financial statement purposes, a foreign tax rate differential and state taxes.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe our business is affected by inflation to a greater extent than the general economy.

Our products contain a significant amount of plastic that is petroleum based. Additionally, we import most of our products from our principal contract manufacturer, located in China and Mexico, and fuel costs are, therefore, a significant component of transportation costs to obtain delivery of products.  Accordingly, the recent increases in petroleum prices are expected to increase the cost of our products.

Our products also contain a significant amount of certain precious and semi-precious metals, in particular copper, gold and steel.  The continuing increases in the cost of these metals are expected to increase the cost of our products.

Increased labor costs in China and Mexico, the countries in which our contract manufacturer produces products for us, could also increase the cost of our products.

We monitor the impact of inflation and attempt to adjust prices where market conditions permit, except that we may not increase prices under certain of our general supply agreements with our principal customers.
 
Inflation has not had a significant effect on our operations during any of the reported periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2011, we had $20,511,000 of working capital, which included $1,294,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and our current ratio was 2.7 to 1.  As of December 31, 2010, we had $18,204,000 of working capital, which included $1,635,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and our current ratio was 2.8 to 1.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our cash flows from operations used $1,852,000, primarily for a $2,993,000 increase in inventory to support our higher sales levels and the need to maintain additional inventory to accommodate anticipated customer orders and supplier lead-time requirements, a $1,763,000 decrease to accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to timing of vendor payments, a $949,000 increase to accounts receivable due to increased sales in the current period resulting from both organic sales growth and sales resulting from both the Copper Products Division and F2O and a $417,000 increase to other assets.  This was partially offset by cash profitability before non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes and share-based compensation of $3,874,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our cash flows from operations used cash of $1,241,000, primarily to support a $3,889,000 increase in inventory to fulfill anticipated sales and an $2,070,000 increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales, offset, in part, by cash profitability before non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes and share-based compensation of $2,062,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,384,000.

Investing activities in the 2011 six month period used cash of $1,460,000, primarily for the acquisition of F2O for $717,000 net of cash acquired and for capital expenditures of $743,000 for tools, molds, dies and equipment used to manufacture new products.  In the comparable 2010 period $600,000 was used for capital expenditures and a net $150,000 (after redeeming a $7,000,000 certificate of deposit) paid out for the acquisition of the Copper Products Division.

Financing activities in the 2011 six month period provided cash of $2,996,000 primarily from $3,000,000 of short term borrowings under our bank credit facility and from $34,000 of proceeds from stock option exercises.  There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities in the first six months of 2010.

In December 2010, we entered into an amendment to our bank credit agreement (the “credit agreement”) which replaced a $5,000,000 facility that was expiring.  Under the credit agreement, we are entitled to borrow from the bank up to $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, but limited to a borrowing base which, in general, equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined), plus the lesser of 30% of eligible inventory (as defined, generally to include, with certain exceptions, inventories at the Company’s continental United States warehouse), after certain reserves, or $1,500,000. This amendment extended the agreement through December 31, 2013.

As of June 30, 2011, our borrowing base was in excess of the amount available to borrow of $5,000,000.  Loans under the credit agreement mature on December 31, 2013.  On April 12, 2011, we borrowed $3,000,000 under the credit agreement.

Outstanding loans under the credit agreement bear interest, at our option, either at (a) the bank's prime rate, provided that the prime rate shall not be less than an adjusted one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (as defined in the credit agreement), or (b) under a formula based on LIBOR plus 1.85% per annum. At June 30, 2011 the interest rate applicable to the outstanding borrowing under the credit agreement was 2.07% per annum.  We also pay a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the credit facility.

Our obligations under the credit agreement are collateralized, pursuant to a Continuing Security Agreement, by all of our accounts receivable and inventory, and are also guaranteed by one of our subsidiaries.

The credit agreement contains various covenants, including financial covenants and covenants that prohibit or limit a variety of actions without the bank's consent. These include, among other things, covenants that prohibit our payment of dividends and limit our ability to repurchase stock, incur or guarantee indebtedness, create liens, purchase all or a substantial part of the assets or stock of another entity, other than certain permitted acquisitions, create or acquire any subsidiary, or substantially change our business. The amended agreement requires us to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, tangible net worth and subordinated debt of at least $28,500,000, a ratio of net income before interest expense and taxes for the 12-month period ending with such fiscal quarter to interest expense for the same period of at least 2.25 to 1.00, and a ratio of total liabilities, excluding accounts payable in the ordinary course of business, accrued expenses or losses and deferred revenues or gains, to net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for the 12-month period ending with the fiscal quarter for which compliance is being determined of not greater than 2.5 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in the amended agreement.

We believe that existing cash, together with internally generated funds and the remaining availability under our line of credit will be sufficient for our working capital requirements and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months and meet our long-term liquidity needs.

Seasonality

Our operations are subject to seasonal variations primarily due to the fact that our principal products, NIDs, are typically installed on the side of homes.  During the hurricane season, sales may increase depending upon the severity and location of hurricanes and the number of NIDs that are damaged and need replacement.  Conversely, during winter months when severe weather hinders or delays the Telco's installation and maintenance of their outside plant network, NID sales have been adversely affected until replacements can be installed, at which time sales may increase.

Off Balance Sheet Financing

We have no off-balance sheet contractual arrangements, as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments.  A summary of our most critical accounting policies can be found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011.  We regularly evaluate items which may impact our critical accounting estimates and judgments.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we did not change our critical accounting policies.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  When used in this Report, words such as "may," "should," "seek," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "intend," "strategy" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect our future plans, operations, business strategies, operating results and financial position. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed below, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and in other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Among those factors are:
 
 
20

 
 
Relating to our overall business:
 
·
exposure to increases in the cost of our products, including increases in the cost of our petroleum-based plastic products and precious and semi-precious metals;
 
·
general economic and business conditions, especially as they pertain to the telecommunications industry;
 
·
potential changes in customers’ spending and purchasing policies and practices, which are effected by customers’ internal budgetary allotments that have been, and may continue to be, impacted by the current economic climate;
 
·
pressures from customers to reduce pricing without achieving a commensurate reduction in costs;
 
·
our ability to market and sell products to new markets beyond our principal copper-based telephone operating company (“Telco”) market which has been declining over the last several years, due principally to the impact of alternate technologies;
 
·
our ability to timely develop products and adapt our products to address technological changes, including changes in our principal market;
 
·
the ability of our contract manufacturer to obtain raw materials and components used in manufacturing our products;
 
·
competition in our principal market and new markets into which we have been seeking to expand;
 
·
our dependence on, and ability to retain, our “as-ordered” general supply agreements with certain of our principal customers and our ability to win new contracts;
 
·
our dependence on third parties for certain product development;
 
·
our dependence on products and product components from our China and Mexico contract manufacturer, including on-time delivery that could be interrupted as a result of third party labor disputes, political factors or shipping disruptions, quality control and exposure to changes in costs, including wages, and changes in the valuation of the Chinese Yuan and Mexican Peso;
 
·
weather and similar conditions, including the effect of typhoons or hurricanes on our contract manufacturer’s facilities in China and Mexico, which can disrupt production;
 
·
the effect of hurricanes in the United States which can affect the demand for our products and the effect of harsh winter conditions in the United States which can temporarily disrupt the installation of certain of our products by Telcos;
 
·
our ability to attract and retain technologically qualified; and
 
·
the availability of financing on satisfactory terms.

Relating to our Recent Acquisitions:
 
our ability to successfully complete the integration of our recently acquired businesses, including their products, sales forces and employees into our business;
 
our ability to retain the general supply agreements of the acquired Copper Products Division with two significant customers;
 
our ability to penetrate the markets and customers of the acquired products with our products, and to penetrate our existing markets with the recently acquired products;
 
our ability to execute our plans with our contract manufacturer to improve gross margins of the products of the acquired Copper Products Division;
 
the stability of the Pound Sterling and Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. dollar exchange rate.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this Report.

Item 3     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates.  The interest payable under our credit facility, under which we have $3,000,000 outstanding as of June 30, 2011, is based on a specified bank’s prime interest rate and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates.  In recent years, the effects of movements in the market interest rates have been immaterial.

Our products contain a significant amount of plastic that is petroleum based, as well as certain precious and semi-precious metals, in particular copper, gold and steel.  We import most of our products from contract manufacturers, principally in China and Mexico.  Therefore, increased costs in either petroleum or these metals can increase the cost of our products.

Other than sales generated by our subsidiaries in England and Mexico, we require foreign sales to be paid in U.S. currency, and we are billed by our contract manufacturers in U.S. currency. However, assets, liabilities and revenues generated by our subsidiaries in England and Mexico are denominated in the Pound Sterling and Mexican Pesos, respectively, and, accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rate of these currencies could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.  Additionally, since our contract manufacturer is based in China and Mexico, the cost of our products could be affected by changes in the valuation of the Chinese Yuan and Mexican Peso, respectively, and or wage increases in these countries.

Historically, we have not purchased or entered into interest rate swaps or future, forward, option or other instruments designed to hedge against changes in interest rates, the price of materials used in the manufacturing of the products we sell, or the value of foreign currencies.
 
Item 4     Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management, with the participation of our President and Principal Executive Officer, who is also temporarily performing the function of our Principal Financial Officer in light of the resignation of our former Principal Financial Officer as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2011, evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Principal Executive Officer served as our Principal Financial Officer from September 2000 until he became our Principal Executive Officer in August 2006. Based on that evaluation, this officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including that officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within us to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
