(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp (the “Company” or “TIC”) as of September 30, 2014, the results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, and statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 2014 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 , as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2014.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the six months ended September 30, 2014, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014.

Note 3 – Accounts Receivable, net

The following table sets forth the components of accounts receivable:

	September 30, 2014			March 31, 2014

Less: Inventory reserve		(210,000	)		(205,000	)
	$	4,544,267		$	4,025,391

Note 5 – Loss Per Share

Net loss per share has been computed according to FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reporting period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including warrants and options, were converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and options is reflected in earnings per share by use of the treasury stock method. In applying the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation arrangements, the assumed proceeds are computed as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise and the amounts of average unrecognized compensation costs attributed to future services.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, all outstanding warrants and options were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt

In September 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with BCA Mezzanine Fund LLP (“BCA”) to loan the Company $2,500,000 in the form of a Promissory Note (the “Note”). The Note contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants which restrict our operations. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants related to maintaining agreed upon financial ratios for fixed charges and debt service. In November 2014, in conjunction with the payoff of this debt (see Note 13), the Company received a waiver from BCA on each of the above mentioned covenants as well as the deferral of the monthly payment of principal due from the Company on September until the maturity of the Note.

Note 7 – Segment Information

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and related information,” the Company determined it has two reportable segments - avionics government and avionics commercial. There are no inter-segment revenues.

The Company is organized primarily on the basis of its avionics products. The avionics government segment consists primarily of the design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to the U.S. and foreign governments and militaries either directly or through distributors. The avionics commercial segment consists of design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to domestic and foreign airlines, directly or through commercial distributors, and to general aviation repair and maintenance shops. The Company develops and designs test equipment for the avionics industry and as such, the Company’s products and designs cross segments.

Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on gross margin. The Company’s general and administrative costs and sales and marketing expenses, and engineering costs are not segment specific. As a result, all operating expenses are not managed on a segment basis. Net interest includes expenses on debt and income earned on cash balances, both maintained at the corporate level.

The table below presents information about reportable segments within the avionics business for the three and six month periods ending September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, effective April 1, 2007 (“ASC 740-10”). ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, asset reserves and accrued liabilities, gave rise to the Company’s deferred tax asset in the accompanying September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

As defined in ASC 820-10, fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observation of those inputs. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820-10 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

·	Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

·	Market approach — Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

·	Income approach — Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method.

·	Cost approach — Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings is a reasonable estimate of its fair value as borrowings under the Company’s credit facility reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Total Assets	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Warrant liability		-		-		460,389		460,389

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging”, which requires that we mark the value of our warrant liability to market and recognize the change in valuation in our statement of operations each reporting period. Determining the warrant liability to be recorded requires us to develop estimates to be used in calculating the fair value of the warrant. The fair value of the warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities from March 31, 2014 through September 30, 2014, as well as the portion of gains or losses included in income attributable to unrealized gains or losses related to the liability held at September 30, 2014:

Level 3 Reconciliation	Beginning at beginning of period		Gains and losses for the period (realized and unrealized)		Purchases, issuances, sales and settlements, net		Transfers in or out of Level 3		Balance at the end of period

Warrant liability		354,309		106,080		-		-		460,389
Total Liabilities	$	354,309	$	106,080	$	-	$	-	$	460,389

The common stock warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign corporation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and, as such, all changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized as other income/expense in the statement of operations until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. Since these common stock warrants do not trade in an active securities market, the Company recognizes a warrant liability and estimates the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes options model using the following assumptions:

The volatility calculation was based on the 57 months for the Company’s common stock price prior to the measurement date, utilizing January 1, 2010 as the initial period, as the Company believes that this is the best indicator of future performance, and the source of the risk free interest rate is the US Treasury rate. The exercise price is per the agreement, the fair market value is the closing price of our stock on the date of measurement, and the expected life is based on management’s current estimate of when the warrants will be exercised. All inputs to the Black-Scholes options model are evaluated each reporting period.

Note 11 – Litigation

On March 24, 2009, Aeroflex Wichita, Inc. (“Aeroflex”) filed a petition against the Company and two of its employees in the District Court, Sedgwick County, Kansas, Case No. 09 CV 1141 (the “Aeroflex Action”), alleging that the Company and its two employees misappropriated Aeroflex’s proprietary technology in connection with the Company winning a substantial contract from the U.S. Army (the “Award”), to develop new Mode-5 radar test sets and kits to upgrade the existing TS-4530 radar test sets to Mode 5. Aeroflex’s petition alleges that in connection with the Award, the Company and its named employees misappropriated Aeroflex’s trade secrets; tortiously interfered with its business relationship; conspired to harm Aeroflex and tortiously interfered with its contract and seeks injunctive relief and damages. The central basis of all the claims in the Aeroflex Action is that the Company misappropriated and used Aeroflex proprietary technology and confidential information in winning the Award. In February 2009, subsequent to the Company winning Award to the Company, Aeroflex filed a protest of the Award with the Government Accounting Office (“GAO”). In its protest, Aeroflex alleged, inter alia, that the Company used Aeroflex’s proprietary technology in order to win the Award, the same material allegations as were later alleged in the Aeroflex Action. On or about March 17, 2009, the U.S. Army Contracts Attorney and the U.S. Army Contracting Officer each filed a statement with the GAO, expressly rejecting Aeroflex’s allegations that the Company used or infringed Aeroflex proprietary technology in winning the Award, and concluding that the Company had used only its own proprietary technology. On April 6, 2009, Aeroflex withdrew its protest.

Note 11 – Litigation (continued)

In December 2009, the Kansas District Court dismissed the Aeroflex Action on jurisdiction grounds. Aeroflex appealed this decision. In May 2012, the Kansas Supreme Court reversed the decision and remanded the Aeroflex Action to the District Court for further proceedings. The Company has been in engaged in discovery and depositions for the last two quarters, which has resulted in substantially higher legal expense. The case is currently set for trial on May 19, 2015, but this date may continue to slip. The Company is optimistic as to the outcome of this litigation. However, the outcome of any litigation is unpredictable and an adverse decision in this matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

On October 9, 2013, the SEC notified the Company that it may be in violation of Section 16(a) for failure to accurately and timely file beneficial ownership reports (the “Filings”) for certain officers and directors. The Company accepted responsibility for filing all such reports on behalf of each officer and director.

The Company apparently made certain coding errors with respect to certain of the Filings, in addition to not filing within two business days of a reportable transaction as reported by an officer or director. Based on the above, the SEC notified the Company that it may be in violation of Section 16(a). Currently, all transactions by the Holders have been disclosed with the SEC and the Company believes that the transactions which required timely Section 16(a) reports did not involve a material amount of equity securities. Additionally, no sales were made by any officer or director and the violation is related to disclosure only.

The Company has made an Offer to Settle to the SEC and in September 2014 the SEC accepted such Offer. The Company has also revised its procedures for Section 16(a) reports to ensure complete compliance.

Other than the matters outlined above, we are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, or our common stock in which an adverse decision could have a material effect.

Note 12 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this ASU on April 1, 2017. Companies may use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate whether conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 13 – Subsequent Event

In November 2014, the Company entered into loan agreement with a bank for $1,200,000. The proceeds from the loan will be used to pay off the remaining balance of the loan with BCA Mezzanine Fund, L.P. in the amount of $1,153,109, including accrued interest of $4,467. The term of the loan is for 3 year and expires in November 2017. Monthly payments are at $36,551 including interest at 6%.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements (collectively the “Filings”) and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

As previously announced, the Company received full rate production approval for the U.S. Army TS-4530A KITS with expected deliveries of about $450k per month, which commenced in July 2014. The U.S. Army is still working to secure production approval for the complete SETS, but this could take several additional months. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has open orders for 1,997 kits and 687 sets, totaling $17.7 million. The Company also began shipping the first U.S. Navy ITATS production units in July 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has open orders for the AN/ARM-206 (ITATS) for 99 units at a contract value of $5.6 million, including additional enhancements. The Company continues to ship the AN/USM-708 CRAFT test sets and should complete the shipment of all of the Ship in Place units by August 2014. In October 2013, the Company received an additional contract for the CRAFT program with a maximum value of $9.5 million. The order is a not-to-exceed $9.5 million fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (“IDIQ”) contract for the manufacture and delivery of communications/navigation radio frequency avionics flight line tester CRAFT AN/USM-708 and/or AN/USM-719. This contract is in support of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army and various Foreign Military Sales customers under the Foreign Military Sales program. This follow-on contract further strengthens our position in the industry as the predominant supplier of Mode 5 test equipment. The CRAFT unit has been well received by the end users and we look forward to working with the U.S. Navy on this program, and we believe our CRAFT unit will be the Mode 5 test set of choice for a number of years. The Company had received delivery orders against this new contract for the additional test sets at a total value of $4.1 million. In October 2014, the Company received an order under this contract for an additional $2.4 million. The Company currently has open orders for the AN/USM-708 and AN/USM-719 for 417 units, totaling $11.1 million, including this new order, and an option to purchase up to $3 million of additional units. During the quarter, the Company had a six week interruption in CRAFT deliveries due to delayed component shipments from vendors, and a technical issue with the U.S. Navy, which has now been resolved, which affected sales for these periods. CRAFT shipments resumed in October.

As such, we anticipate improvement in revenues and profitability for the remainder of fiscal year 2015. We believe that the revenue increase from the TS-4530A and ITATS shipments will also enhance the Company’s liquidity position.

For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded an operating loss of $531,288 as compared to an operating profit of $208,298 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a loss before taxes of $872,330 as compared to a loss before taxes of $165,255 for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

Overview (continued)

As a result of the substantial operating losses incurred in fiscal year 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE-MKT’s (the “Exchange”) continued listing standards. The Company also received a letter from the staff of the Exchange that, based on the Company’s financial statements at March 31, 2013, the Company was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $4.0 million, and had also reported net losses in three of its last four fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. On July 17, 2014, based on the review of publicly available and Section 1009(f) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, the Exchange has indicated that the Company had resolved the continued listing deficiencies with respect to both Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(4)(iv) of the Company Guide, since it has reported net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and demonstrated that it has remedied its financial impairment. As is the case with all listed issuers on the NYSE-MKT, the Company’s continued listing eligibility will be assessed on an ongoing basis.

The Company has made an Offer to Settle to the SEC and the SEC accepted such Offer. The Company has also revised its procedures for Section 16(a) reports to ensure complete compliance.

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s backlog was approximately $34.0 million as compared to approximately $33.1 million at September 30, 2013.

In November 2014, the Company entered into loan agreement with a bank for $1,200,000. The proceeds from the loan will be used to pay off the remaining balance of the loan with BCA Mezzanine Fund, L.P. in the amount of $1,153,109, including accrued interest of $4,467. The term of the loan is for 3 year and expires in November, 2017. Monthly payments are at $36,551 including interest at 6%.

Based on existing and expected production releases, the Company believes that it will have adequate liquidity, and backlog to fund operating plans for at least the next twelve months. Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will achieve profitability or will not require additional financing.

Results of Operations

Sales

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, sales decreased $446,907 (11.1%) and $517,806 (7.2%) to $3,587,674 and $6,716,750, respectively, as compared to $4,034,581 and $7,234,556, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

Avionics government sales decreased $427,191 (12.4%) and $709,310 (11.35%) to $3,026,728 and $5,547,451 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $3,453,919 and $6,256,761 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease is mostly attributed to the lower shipments for the TS-4530A Sets for which the Company has not yet received a full production release, but such release is anticipated in the next few months. In the prior year, the Company was able to ship against a partial release from the U.S. Army. During the quarter the Company had a six week interruption in CRAFT deliveries due to delayed component shipments from vendors and a technical issue with the U.S. Navy, which has been resolved, which affected sales for these periods. CRAFT shipments resumed in October. These decreases were partially offset by the shipment of the kits for the TS-4530A program for which the Company received a full production release from the U.S. Army for kits on June 29, 2014, and the commencement of shipments for the Company’s ITATS program.

Commercial sales decreased $19,721 (3.4%) to $560,946 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $580,662 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributed to lower sales from the overhaul and repairs business. Commercial sales increased $191,504 (19.6%) to $1,169,299 for the six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $977,795 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. This increase in sales is primarily attributed to parts availability as the Company was able to reduce its backlog for its commercial products as well as increased sales from the overhaul and repairs business. The economic conditions in the commercial market remain depressed and, therefore, this increase in commercial sales cannot be considered a trend.

Gross margin decreased $406,405 (31.9%) and $472,346 (19.2%) %) to $869,344 and $1,989,561, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $1,275,749 and $2,461,907, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013. Gross profit was affected by higher labor and overhead variances due in part to additional staffing associated with the startup of the TS-4530A and ITATS programs. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 24.2%, as compared to 31.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended September 30, 2014 was 29.6%, as compared to 34.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $11,376 (1.7%) to $660,034 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $671,410 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributed to lower professional fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $214,567 (16.2%) to $1,539,227 for the six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $1,324,660 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily attributed to higher professional fees associated with the Aeroflex litigation.

Engineering, research and development expenses increased $49,154 (11.0%) and $52,673 (5.7%) %) to $497,726 and $981,622, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $448,572 and $928,949, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013. While the Company has completed development on its major programs, research and development resources have now been focused on new product development, sustaining engineering and enhancements to existing products.

Income (Loss) From Operations

As a result of the above, the Company recorded an operating loss of $288,416 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to operating income of $155,767 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded an operating loss of $531,288 as compared to operating income of $208,298 for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

Other Income (Expense), Net

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, total other expense was $86,727 as compared to other expense of $217,381 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This change is primarily due to the non-cash gain on the change in the valuation of common stock warrants for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a loss in the valuation of common stock warrants in same period in the prior year as well as lower interest expense. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, total other expense was $341,042 as compared to other expense of $373,553 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. This change is primarily due to lower interest expense offset partially by the higher non-cash loss on the change in the valuation of common stock warrants as compared to the same period last year.

Loss before Income Taxes

As a result of the above, the Company recorded losses before income taxes of $375,143 and $872,330 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to losses before taxes of $61,614 and $165,255 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

Income Tax Benefit

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $126,948 and $240,130 as compared to income tax expense of $10,860 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an income tax benefit of $7,009 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. These amounts represent the statutory federal and state tax rate on the Company’s loss before taxes.

Net Loss

As a result of the above, the Company recorded net losses of $248,195 and $632,200 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to net losses of $72,474 and $158,246 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2014, the Company had net working capital of $2,110,330 as compared to $2,452,798 at March 31, 2014. This change is primarily the result of the decrease in accounts receivable and the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset partially by an increase in inventories and prepaid expenses.

During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s cash balance increased by $11,028 to $243,146. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company provided $377,530 in cash for operations as compared to providing $13,400 in cash for operations for the six months ended September 30, 2013. This improvement is the result of the reduction in accounts receivable and increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset partially by the increase in inventories, higher operating loss and increase in prepaid expenses.

Cash used in investing activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company used $6,511 of its cash for investing activities, as compared to $11,226 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 as result of lower purchases of equipment.

Cash used in financing activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company used $359,991 in financing activities as compared to using $166,720 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. This is the result of lower proceeds from notes payable and the increase in repayments of debt. For the six months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received net proceeds from a related party note payable in the amount of $100,000.

There was no significant impact on the Company’s operations as a result of inflation for the six months ended September 30, 2014.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Company apparently made certain coding errors with respect to certain of the Filings, in addition to, not filing within two business days of a reportable transaction as reported by an officer or director. Based on the above, the SEC notified the Company that it may be in violation of Section 16(a). Currently, all transactions by the Holders have been disclosed with the SEC and the Company believes that the transactions which required timely Section 16(a) reports did not involve a material amount of equity securities. Additionally, no sales were made by any officer or director and the violation is related to disclosure only.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2014.
