NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

STATEMENT OF FAIR PRESENTATION

Interim Financial Statements. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Technical Communications Corporation (the “Company” or “TCC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial Position and the results of operations for the periods presented and in order to make the financial statements not misleading. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 29, 2012.

Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011 as filed with the SEC.

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the FASB. The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM—sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC.

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, inventory reserves, receivable reserves, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The accounting policies that management believes are most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery of the product to the customer has occurred and we have determined that collection of the fee is probable. Title to the product generally passes upon shipment of the product, as the products are shipped FOB shipping point, except for certain foreign shipments where title passes upon entry of the product into the first port in the buyer’s country. If the product requires installation to be performed by TCC, all revenue related to the product is deferred and recognized upon completion of the installation. We provide for a warranty reserve at the time the product revenue is recognized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)

We perform funded research and development and technology development for commercial companies and government agencies under both cost reimbursement and fixed-price contracts. Cost reimbursement contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs and, in some situations, the payment of a fee. These contracts may contain incentive clauses providing for increases or decreases in the fee depending on how actual costs compare with a budget. Revenue from reimbursement contracts is recognized as services are performed. On fixed-price contracts that are expected to exceed one year in duration, revenue is recognized pursuant to the proportional performance method based upon the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total estimated costs for the contract. In each type of contract, we receive periodic progress payments or payments upon reaching interim milestones, and we retain the rights to the intellectual property developed in government contracts. All payments to TCC for work performed on contracts with agencies of the U.S. government are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. Adjustments are recognized in the period made. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs for a product development contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded. Any losses incurred in performing funded research and development projects are recognized as funded research and development expenses.

Cost of product revenue includes material, labor and overhead. Costs incurred in connection with funded research and development are included in cost of sales.

Inventory

We value our inventory at the lower of actual cost, based on first-in, first-out basis (FIFO) to purchase and/or manufacture or the current estimated market value (based on the estimated selling prices, less the cost to sell) of the inventory. We periodically review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and/or obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand, as well as historical usage. Due to the custom and specific nature of certain of our products, demand and usage for products and materials can fluctuate significantly. A significant decrease in demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases and an increase in excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product development and rapid product obsolescence, any of which could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Therefore, although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant negative impact on the value of our inventory and would reduce our reported operating results.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based primarily on a specific analysis of accounts in the receivable portfolio and historical write-off experience. While management believes the allowance to be adequate, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would reduce net income.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including those outside the United States, which may subject the Company to certain risks that ordinarily would not be expected in the United States. The income tax accounting process involves estimating our actual current exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. We must then record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $1.1 million as of December 24, 2011 due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize these assets. The valuation allowance is based on our estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operation.

Due to the nature of our current operations in foreign countries (selling products into these countries with the assistance of local representatives), the Company has not been subject to any foreign taxes in recent years. Also, it is not anticipated that we will be subject to foreign taxes in the near future.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the appropriate guidance relative to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, effective for fiscal year 2009. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by the guidance, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. At December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011 the Company’s cash equivalents included mutual funds totaling $9,979,000 and $8,479,000, respectively, which are valued using level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. The related excess tax benefit received upon the exercise of stock options, if any, is reflected in the Company’s statement of cash flows as a financing activity rather than an operating activity. There were no excess tax benefits for the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010.

The Company selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the method for determining the estimated fair value of its stock awards. The Black-Scholes method of valuation requires several assumptions: (1) the expected term of the stock award, (2) the expected future stock price volatility over the expected term, (3) a risk-free interest rate and (4) the expected dividend rate. The expected term represents the expected period of time the Company believes the options will be outstanding based on historical information. Estimates of expected future stock price volatility are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock and the risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Note rate. The Company utilizes a forfeiture rate based on an analysis of its actual experience. The forfeiture rate is not material to the calculation of share-based compensation. The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated with the following assumptions:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)

There were 3,500 options, with a weighted average fair value of $3.43, granted during the three months ended December 24, 2011 and 3,500 options, with a weighted average fair value of $7.09, granted during the three months ended December 25, 2010.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation costs included in the Company’s condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 (unaudited):

As of December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010, there was $625,373 and $134,238, respectively, of unrecognized compensation cost related to options granted. The unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized as the options vest. The weighted average period over which the compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 3.65 years.

The Company had the following stock option plans outstanding as of December 24, 2011: the Technical Communications Corporation 2001 Stock Option Plan, the 2005 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan and the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. There were an aggregate of 750,000 options to acquire shares authorized under these plans, of which 266,152 options were outstanding at December 24, 2011. Vesting periods are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and typically range between zero and five years. Options under these plans are granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value at time of grant and have a term of ten years from the date of grant.

As of December 24, 2011, there were no shares available for new option grants under the 2001 Stock Option Plan; there were 45,157 shares available for grant under the 2005 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan; and there were 45,536 shares available for grant under the 2010 Equity Plan.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the first three months of fiscal 2012 (unaudited):

Information related to the stock options vested and expected to vest as of December 24, 2011 is as follows (unaudited):

The aggregate intrinsic value of the Company’s “in-the-money” outstanding and exercisable options as of December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was $229,987 and $665,629, respectively. Unvested common stock options are subject to the risk of forfeiture until the fulfillment of specified conditions.

NOTE 2. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

NOTE 3. Income Taxes

During the three months ended December 24, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax provision based on its expected effective tax rate for its 2012 fiscal year. During the three months ended December 25, 2010, the Company recorded an income tax benefit based on its expected effective tax rate for the 2011 fiscal year, which was adjusted by an unutilized federal research credit from the 2010 fiscal year. Tax legislation extended the federal research credit, which was effective through the end of calendar year 2011. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2012 has not taken any benefit for the federal research credit beyond December 31, 2011.

Deferred tax assets consist of tax credits, inventory differences and other temporary differences. The Company’s valuation allowance is related to the temporary differences associated with its inventory. The Company has determined that the tax benefit related to its obsolete inventory will not likely be realized, and therefore has provided a full valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset. It is the Company’s intention to maintain the related inventory items for the foreseeable future to support equipment in the field, and therefore cannot determine when the tax benefit, if any, will be realized.

NOTE 4. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:

Outstanding potentially dilutive stock options, which were not included in the earnings per share calculations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, were 180,264 and 6,000 at December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively.

NOTE 5. Major Customers and Export Sales

During the quarter ended December 24, 2011, the Company had one customer that represented 97% of net sales as compared to the quarter ended December 25, 2010, during which three customers represented 88% (53%, 22% and 13%) of net sales.

A breakdown of foreign and domestic net sales is as follows:

All foreign sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were to the same country. The Company sold products into four countries during the three month period ended December 25, 2010. A sale is attributed to a foreign country based on the location of the contracting party. Domestic revenue may include the sale of products shipped through domestic resellers or manufacturers to international destinations. The table below summarizes our foreign revenues by country as a percentage of total foreign revenue.

Overview

The Company designs, manufactures, markets and sells communications security equipment that utilizes various methods of encryption to protect the information being transmitted. Encryption is a technique for rendering information unintelligible, which information can then be reconstituted if the recipient possesses the right decryption “key”. The Company manufactures several standard secure communications products and also provides custom-designed, special-purpose secure communications products for both domestic and international customers. The Company’s products consist primarily of voice, data and facsimile encryptors. Revenue is generated primarily from the sale of these products, which have traditionally been to foreign governments either through direct sale, pursuant to a U.S. government contract or made as a sub-contractor to domestic corporations under contract with the U.S. government. We have also sold these products to commercial entities and U.S. government agencies. We generate additional revenues from contract engineering services performed for certain government agencies, both domestic and foreign, and commercial entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since September 24, 2011, nor have we adopted any accounting policy that has or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our accounting policies see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011 as filed with the SEC.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended December 24, 2011 as compared to Three Months ended December 25, 2010

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended December 24, 2011 were $4,441,000, as compared to $2,735,000 for the quarter ended December 25, 2010, an increase of 62%. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 consisted of $4,343,000, or 97.8%, from domestic sources and $98,000, or 2.2%, from international customers as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011, during which sales consisted of $2,667,000, or 97.5%, from domestic sources and $68,000, or 2.5%, from international customers.

Foreign sales consisted of shipments to one country during the quarter ended December 24, 2011 and four countries during the quarter ended December 25, 2010. A sale is attributed to a foreign country based on the location of the contracting party. Domestic revenue may include the sale of products shipped through domestic resellers or manufacturers to international destinations. The table below summarizes our principal foreign sales by country during the first quarters of fiscal 2012 and 2011:

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily derived from the sale of the Company’s narrowband radio encryptors to a U.S. radio manufacturer for deployment into Afghanistan amounting to $4,322,000. We also had sales of our link encryptors into the Middle East for $93,000.

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was derived in part from the final shipment of our high speed bulk encryptors amounting to $1,455,000 under a contract with a domestic customer, the final shipment of products under a contract with the U.S. Army, Communications and Electronics Command (“CECOM”) during the period amounting to $610,000, and the sale of the Company’s narrowband radio encryptors to a U.S. radio manufacturer amounting to $345,000. We also had billings under programs for engineering services work amounting to $164,000 for the three month period ended December 25, 2010.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $3,305,000 as compared to gross profit of $2,055,000 for the same period of fiscal 2011, an increase of 61%. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales was 74% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 75% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $988,000, as compared to $676,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 2011. This increase of 46% was attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $48,000 and an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $265,000 during the first quarter of the 2012 fiscal year.

12

Table of Contents

The increase in general and administrative costs during the first quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to increases in charitable contributions of $20,000, personnel-related costs of $8,000, investor relation and other public company related costs of $11,000, and professional fees of $9,000.

The increase in selling and marketing costs for the three months ended December 24, 2011 was attributable to increases in personnel-related costs of $25,000 and costs to develop new business opportunities, including large efforts in Colombia and Egypt of $236,000.

Product Development Costs

Product development costs for the quarter ended December 24, 2011 were $1,071,000, compared to $896,000 for the quarter ended December 25, 2010, an increase of $175,000 or 20%. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in outside contractor costs of $386,000 and recruiting costs of $31,000. These increases were offset by an increase in engineering support of business development activities, which decreased product development costs by approximately $183,000, and decreases in project materials and supplies costs of $16,000. There was also a decrease in manufacturing support of development efforts in the amount of $37,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Product development costs are charged to billable engineering services, bid and proposal efforts or support of business development activities as appropriate. Product development costs charged to billable projects are recorded as cost of sales, engineering costs charged to bid and proposal efforts are recorded as selling expenses and product development costs charged to business development activities are recorded as marketing expense.

The Company actively sells its engineering services in support of funded research and development. The receipt of these orders is sporadic, although such programs can span over several months. In addition to these programs, the Company also invests in research and development to enhance its existing products or to develop new products, as it deems appropriate. There was no billable engineering services revenue generated during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and $164,000 generated during the same period of fiscal 2011.

Net Income

The Company generated net income of $929,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to $499,000 for the same period of fiscal 2011. This 86% increase in net income is primarily attributable to a 62% increase in sales volume, offset partially by a 31% increase in operating expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $317,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 based on its expected effective tax rate of 25% for the 2012 fiscal year. This compares to a net tax benefit of $15,000 recorded in the three month period ended December 25, 2010.

The effects of inflation and changing costs have not had a significant impact on sales or earnings in recent years. As of December 24, 2011, none of the Company’s monetary assets or liabilities was subject to foreign exchange risks. The Company usually includes an inflation factor in its pricing when negotiating multi-year contracts with customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $2,249,000 to $11,481,000 as of December 24, 2011, from a balance of $9,232,000 at September 24, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to net income of $929,000 and decreases in accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes receivable of $788,000, $644,000 and $317,000, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of $183,000, capital acquisitions of $62,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $300,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2012.

Table of Contents

We have received additional orders during the first three months of fiscal 2012 for our radio encryptors for use in Afghanistan amounting to $857,000 and an add-on order for our high speed bulk encryptors as part of a Patriot Missile upgrade program in Taiwan from Raytheon Company amounting to $1.2 million. These orders are expected to ship over the next 12 months.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company paid a special cash dividend of $183,000. The payment of this dividend was based on the profits generated by the Company during that the period. It is not the Company’s intention to pay dividends on a regular basis unless future profits warrant such actions.

Backlog at December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 amounted to $2,921,000 and $6,022,000, respectively. The orders in backlog at December 24, 2011 are expected to ship during the remainder of the 2012 fiscal year depending on customer requirements and product availability.

The Company has a line of credit agreement with Bank of America (the “Bank”) for a line of credit not to exceed the principal amount of $600,000. The line is supported by a financing promissory note. The loan is a demand loan with interest payable at the Bank’s prime rate plus 1% on all outstanding balances. The loan is secured by all assets of the Company (excluding consumer goods) and requires the Company to maintain its deposit accounts with the Bank, as well as comply with certain other covenants. The Company believes this line of credit agreement provides it with an important external source of liquidity, if necessary. There were no cash borrowings against the line during the three months ended December 24, 2011 or the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011.

Certain foreign customers require the Company to guarantee bid bonds and performance of products sold. These guaranties typically take the form of standby letters of credit. Guaranties are generally required in amounts of 5% to 10% of the purchase price and last in duration from three months to one year. At December 24, 2011 and September 24, 2011 there were no outstanding standby letters of credit. The Company secures its outstanding standby letters of credit with the line of credit facility with the Bank.

In April 2007, the Company entered into a lease for its current facilities. This lease is for 22,800 square feet located at 100 Domino Drive, Concord, MA. The Company has been a tenant in this space since 1983. This is the Company’s only facility and houses all manufacturing, research and development, and corporate operations. The term of the lease is for five years through March 31, 2012 at an annual rate of $159,000. In addition the lease contains options to extend the lease for two and one half years through September 30, 2014 and another two and one half years through March 31, 2017, at an annual rate of $171,000. Rent expense for each of the three month periods ended December 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010 was $40,000. On September 30, 2011 the Company exercised its option to extend the lease for the period April 1, 2012 through September 30, 2014.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company invested $1,071,000 in internal product development, which is consistent with our plan to increase development investments in fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011 by approximately 35%. Our plan includes continuing evaluations of several technical options for enhancing the DSP 9000 Universal Radio Encryption product line, which may include cryptography modifications, hardware and software changes, new application driven packages, encryption software modules and partnering with radio manufacturers to incorporate imbedded solutions.

In 2012, the Company expects to complete the initial development and introduce the CX7211, the first in a family of advanced 100Mb/s to 1 GB/s internet protocol encryptors that will service private network markets for government, military and satellite users. This product line is intended to provide, configurable wire speed performance to 1000Mb/s in full duplex, certified to FIPS-140-2, Level 3 performance and remote KEYNET IP management. The Company expects that the configurable performance technology of the CX7211 will allow the customer, as its network requirements grow, to purchase and receive additional capacity that is needed without disruption to the network equipment or implementation delays.

In 2011, the Company completed systems testing of the 72B, a new high speed, SONET/SDH optical encryptor, which provides full-rate encryption capability at 155mbs and 622mbs speeds. This encryptor is designed to be compliant with FIPS-140-2, Level 3 and is offered in three configurations covering applications for commercial telecommunications providers through highly ruggedized military and government requirements. TCC expects that this encryptor family will provide fully interoperable operations between office and field environments. The Company expects to field test the 72B, complete the FIPS 140 certification and demonstrate the product to several potential customers during the remainder of 2012.

On-going research and development in support of product improvements and application variants also is expected to continue. TCC completed customer verification testing of the multi-interface upgrade to the DSD72A-SP encryptor in January 2012. This product upgrade allows the 72A, used by many countries for their bulk encryption requirements, to integrate with new generation radios and multiplexers that have multiple, selectable interfaces. In addition, an upgrade program for the widely used CSD3324SE Secure Telephone, which is expected to expand its features to meet the market for secure phone-to-radio communications, was initiated in late 2011 and will continue during 2012.

These major development programs will require engineering staff, contractors and outside engineering services to be added. The Company has sufficient physical resources to support the added staff and outside resources and believes that adequate technical resources exist in the Boston area to meet these needs. The Company believes it has sufficient financial resources, including its cash reserves and future cash from operations to fund these development programs.

Other than those stated above, there are no plans for significant internal product development during the remainder of fiscal 2012. Also, the Company does not anticipate any significant capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2012.
