PART 1

The forward-looking statements included in this report including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends” and words of similar import, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed under “Certain Factors Which May Adversely Affect Future Operations Or An Investment In Giga-tronics” in Item 1 below and in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Giga-tronics Incorporated (Giga-tronics, or the Company) includes the operations of the Giga-tronics Division and Microsource Inc. (Microsource), a wholly owned subsidiary. Giga-tronics Division designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of test and measurement equipment used in the development, test and maintenance of wireless communications products and systems, flight navigational equipment, electronic defense systems and automatic testing systems. These products are used primarily in the design, production, repair and maintenance of commercial telecommunications, radar, and electronic warfare equipment.

Giga-tronics was incorporated on March 5, 1980. Its principal executive offices are located at 4650 Norris Canyon Road, San Ramon, California, and its telephone number at that location is (925) 328-4650.

Effective May 18, 1998, Giga-tronics acquired Microsource. Microsource, located in Santa Rosa, California, develops and manufactures a broad line of YIG (Yttrium, Iron, Garnet) tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers, which are used by its customers in operational applications and in manufacturing a wide variety of microwave instruments and devices.

Giga-tronics intends to broaden its product lines and expand its market, both by internal development of new products and through the acquisition of other business entities. From time to time, the Company considers a variety of acquisition opportunities.

Industry Segments

The Company manufactures products used in test, measurement and control. The Company has two reporting segments: Giga-tronics Division and Microsource.

Products and Markets

Giga-tronics

The Giga-tronics Division produces signal sources, generators and sweepers, and power measurement instruments for use in the microwave and radio frequency (RF) range (10 kilohertz (kHz) to 50 gigahertz (GHz)). Within each product line are a number of different models and options allowing customers to select frequency range and specialized capabilities, features and functions. The end-user markets for these products can be divided into three broad segments: commercial telecommunications, radar and electronic warfare. These instruments are used in the design, production, repair and maintenance and calibration of other manufacturers’ products, from discrete components to complex systems.

The Giga-tronics Division also produces switch modules and interface adapters that operate with a bandwidth from direct current (DC) to optical frequencies. These switch modules may be incorporated within its customers’ automated test equipment. The end-user markets for these products are primarily related to defense, aeronautics, communications, satellite and electronic warfare, commercial aviation and semiconductors.

Microsource

The Microsource segment develops and manufactures a broad line of YIG tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers, which are used by its customers in operational applications and in manufacturing a wide variety of microwave instruments or devices.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Components

Substantially all of the components required by Giga-tronics to make its assemblies are available from more than one source. The Company occasionally uses sole source arrangements to obtain leading-edge technology or favorable pricing or supply terms, but not in any material volume. In the Company’s opinion, the loss of any sole source arrangement it has would not be material to its operations. Some suppliers are also competitors of Giga-tronics. In the event a competitor-supplier chooses not sell its products to Giga-tronics, production delays could occur as the Company seeks new suppliers; or, the Company re-designs components to its products.

Although extended delays in receipt of components from its suppliers could result in longer product delivery schedules for the Company, the Company believes that its protection against this possibility stems from its practice of dealing with well-established suppliers and maintaining good relationships with such suppliers.

Patents and Licenses

The Company’s competitive position is largely dependent upon its ability to provide performance specifications for its instruments and systems that (a) are easy to use and effectively and reliably meet customers’ needs and (b) selectively surpass competitors’ specifications in competing products. Patents may occasionally provide some short-term protection of proprietary designs. However, because of the rapid progress of technological development in the Company’s industry, such protection is most often, although not always, short-lived. Therefore, although the Company occasionally pursues patent coverage, it places major emphasis on the development of new products with superior performance specifications and the upgrading of existing products toward this same end.

The Company’s products are based on its own designs, which in turn derive from its own engineering abilities. If the Company’s new product engineering efforts fall behind, its competitive position weakens. Conversely, effective product development greatly enhances its competitive status.

The Company presently holds 31 patents. Some of these are critical to the Company’s ongoing business, and the Company intends to actively maintain them. Capitalized costs relating to these patents were both incurred and fully amortized prior to March 27, 2010. Accordingly, these patents have no recorded value included in the Company’s fiscal 2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements.

The Company is not dependent on trademarks, licenses or franchises. It does utilize certain software licenses in certain functional aspects for some of its products. Such licenses are readily available, non-exclusive and are obtained at either no cost or for a relatively small fee.

Seasonal Nature of Business

The business of the Company is not seasonal.

Working Capital Practices

The Company generally strives to maintain adequate levels of inventory and generally sells to customers on 30-day payment terms in the U.S. and generally allows more time for overseas payments. Typically, the Company receives payment terms of 30 days. The Company believes that these practices are consistent with typical industry practices.

Importance of Limited Number of Customers

The Company is a supplier of microwave and RF test instruments to various United States (U.S.) government defense agencies, as well as to their prime contractors. Management anticipates sales to U.S. government agencies and their prime contractors will remain significant in fiscal 2013. U.S. and international defense-related agencies accounted for 57% and 44% of net sales in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Commercial business accounted for the remaining 43% and 56% of net sales in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change in business was driven by increased defense sector opportunities

Giga-tronics, during fiscal year 2012, reports 46.1 % of total sales from the U.S. defense agencies and prime contractors. During fiscal year 2011 Giga-tronics Division derived 40% of its net sales from equipment manufacturers and system integrators.

Microsource, reports 87.8 % of total sales from the U.S. defense agencies and prime contractors during fiscal year 2012. During fiscal 2011, Microsource derived 12% of its net sales from an electronic instrument manufacturer and 81% of its net sales from the U.S. government defense agencies and their prime contractors.

During fiscal 2012, one customer accounted for 17% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 31, 2012 and was included in the Microsource segment. A second customer accounted for 12% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 31, 2012 and was included in the Giga-tronics Division.

During fiscal 2011, one customer accounted for 27% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 26, 2011 and was included in the Giga-tronics Division. During fiscal 2011, two customers accounted for 13% and 11% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 26, 2011 and was included in the Microsource segment.

In management’s opinion, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its financial stability if there was a significant loss of either its commercial or defense customers.

The Company’s products are largely capital investments for its customers, and the Company’s belief is that its customers have economic cycles in which capital investment budgets for the kinds of products that the Company produces expand and contract. The Company, therefore, expects that a major customer in one year will often not be a major customer in the following year. Accordingly, the Company’s net sales and earnings will decline if the Company is unable to find new customers or increase its business with other existing customers to replace declining net sales from the previous year’s major customers. A substantial decline in net sales from U.S. government defense agencies and their prime contractors would also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net sales and results of operations unless replaced by net sales from the commercial sector.

Backlog of Orders

On March 31, 2012, the Company’s backlog of unfilled order was approximately $3,839,000 compared to approximately $3,649,000 at March 26, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, there were no unfilled orders scheduled for shipment beyond one year, as compared to approximately $316,000 at March 26, 2011. Orders for the Company’s products include program orders from both the U.S. government and defense contractors with extended delivery dates. Accordingly, the backlog of orders may vary substantially from year to year and the backlog entering any single quarter may not be indicative of sales for any period.

Backlog includes only those customer orders for which a delivery schedule has been agreed upon between the Company and the customer and, in the case of U.S. government orders, for which funding has been appropriated.

Competition

Giga-tronics serves the broad market for electronic instrumentation with applications ranging from the design, test, calibration and maintenance of other electronic devices to providing sophisticated components for complex electronic systems to sub-systems capable of sorting and identifying high frequency communication signals. These applications cut across the commercial, industrial and military segments of the broad market. The Company has a variety of competitors. Several of its competitors are much larger than the Company and have greater resources and substantially broader product lines. Others are of comparable size with more limited product lines.

Competition from numerous existing companies is intense and potential new entrants are expected to increase. The Company’s instrument, switch, oscillator and synthesizer products compete with Agilent, Anritsu, EADS, Aeroflex and Rohde & Schwarz. Many of these companies have substantially greater research and development, manufacturing, marketing, financial, technological, personnel and managerial resources than Giga-tronics. There can be no assurance that any products developed by these competitors will not gain greater market acceptance than any developed by Giga-tronics.

To compete effectively in this circumstance, the Company (a) places strong emphasis on maintaining a high degree of technical competence as it relates to the development of new products and the upgrading of existing products and (b) is highly selective in establishing technological objectives. The Company does not attempt to compete ‘across the board’, but selectively based upon its particular strengths and the competitors’ perceived limitations.

Specification requirements of customers in this market vary widely. The Company is able to compete by offering products that meet a customer’s particular specification requirements; by being able to offer certain product specifications at lower cost resulting from the Company’s past production of products with those of similar specifications; and by being able to offer certain product specifications at a higher quality level. All of these advantages are attributable to the Company’s continuing investment in research and development and in a highly trained engineering staff.

The customer’s decision is most often based on the best match of its particular requirements and the supplier’s operating specifications. In most cases, attracting and retaining customers does not require the Company to offer the best overall product with respect to each of the customer’s requirements, but rather the best product relative to the specifications that are most important to the customer.

When the opportunity involves custom solutions, price is not the only consideration. Satisfying the customer’s specific requirements becomes more important and the Company believes it has more flexibility in making modifications and enhancements than its larger and more structured competitors.

Sales and Marketing

Giga-tronics and Microsource market their products through various independent distributors and representatives to commercial and government customers for its instrument product but sells primarily direct on its switch and component products, although not necessarily through the same distributors and representatives.

Product Development

Products of the type manufactured by Giga-tronics historically have had relatively long product life cycles. However, the electronics industry is subject to rapid technological changes at the component level. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to steadily incorporate advancements in component technologies into its new products. In fiscal 2012, product development expenses totaled approximately $2,893,000 excluding non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. In fiscal 2011, product development expenses were $2,159,000 excluding NRE costs.

Activities included the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. It is management’s intention to increase product development at levels required to sustain its competitive position. All of the Company’s product development activities are internally funded and expensed as incurred.

Giga-tronics expects to continue to make significant investments in research and development. There can be no assurance that future technologies, processes or product developments will not render Giga-tronics’ current product offerings obsolete or that Giga-tronics will be able to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products that satisfy customer needs, in a timely manner or achieve market acceptance. The failure to do so could adversely affect Giga-tronics’ business.

Manufacturing

The assembly and testing of Giga-tronics Division microwave synthesizers, RF and power measurement products and its switching and connecting devices are done at its San Ramon facility. The assembly and testing of Microsource’s line of YIG tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers are done at its Santa Rosa facility.

Environment

To the best of its knowledge, the Company is in compliance with all Federal, state and local laws and regulations involving the protection of the environment.

Employees

As of March 31, 2012, Giga-tronics employed 89 individuals on a full-time basis compared to 94 as of March 26, 2011. Management believes that the future success of the Company depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled personnel. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor union, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good.

Information about Foreign Operations

The Company sells to its international customers through a network of foreign technical sales representative organizations. All transactions between the Company and its international customers are in U.S. dollars.

Geographic Distribution of Net Sales
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2012			2011
Domestic	$	10,553	$	12,547		80.0	%		60.0	%

Total	$	13,116	$	21,029

See Item 8, footnote 5 of the consolidated financial statements for further breakdown of international sales for the last two years.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Business climate is volatile

The current financial crisis/recession represents a continued risk for the Company and has resulted in delays of orders and/or cancellations. Giga-tronics has a significant number of defense-related orders. If the defense market demand decreases, actual shipments could be less than projected shipments with a resulting decline in sales. The Company’s commercial product backlog has a number of risks and uncertainties such as the cancellation or deferral of orders, dispute over performance and the Company’s ability to collect amounts due under these orders. If any of these events occur, actual shipments could be less than projected shipments and earnings could decline.

Giga-tronics sales are substantially dependent on the wireless industry

Giga-tronics sells directly or indirectly to customers and equipment manufacturers in the wireless industry. Currently, this industry is undergoing dramatic and rapid change. As such, the business that Giga-tronics records could decrease or existing recorded backlog could be stretched or deferred resulting in lower than projected shipments. Reduced shipments may have a material adverse effect on operations.

Giga-tronics’ markets involve rapidly changing technology and standards

The market for electronics equipment is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. Giga-tronics believes that its future success will depend in part upon its ability to develop and commercialize its existing products, develop new products and applications, and in part to develop, manufacture and successfully introduce new products and product lines with improved capabilities and to continue to enhance existing products. There can be no assurance that Giga-tronics will successfully complete the development of current or future products, or that such products will achieve market acceptance.

Future liquidity is uncertain

Based on current levels of sales and expenses, management believes that cash and cash equivalents remain adequate to meet current operating needs for the next twelve months. However, this estimate is based on projections that may or may not be realized, and therefore actual cash usage could be greater than projected. To operate beyond the next twelve months would require the Company to earn additional cash from operations, renew or obtain a line of credit or obtain additional funds from other sources. The Company maintains a line of credit for $2,500,000.

Giga-tronics’ common stock price is volatile

The market price of the Company’s common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, shortfalls in revenues or earnings from levels expected by securities analysts and other factors such as announcements of technological innovations or new products by Giga-tronics or by competitors, government regulations or developments in patent or other proprietary rights. In addition, the NASDAQ Capital Market and other stock markets have experienced significant price fluctuations in recent periods. Some of these fluctuations often have been unrelated to the reported operating performance of the specific companies whose stocks are traded. Broad market fluctuations, as well as general foreign and domestic economic conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

Giga-tronics stock at any time has historically traded on thin volume on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Sales of a significant volume of stock could result in a decline of Giga-tronics’ share price.

Performance problems in Giga-tronics’ products or problems arising from the use of its products together with other vendors’ products may harm its business and reputation

Products as complex as those Giga-tronics produces may contain unknown and undetected defects or performance problems. For example, it is possible that a product might not comply with stipulated specifications under all circumstances. In addition, Giga-tronics’ customers generally use its products together with their own products and products from other vendors. As a result, when problems occur in a combined environment, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. A defect or performance problem could result in lost revenues, increased warranty costs, diversion of engineering and management time and effort, impaired customer relationships and injury to Giga-tronics’ reputation generally. To date, performance problems in Giga-tronics’ products or in other products used together with Giga-tronics’ products have not had a material adverse effect on its business. However, management cannot be certain that a material adverse impact will not occur in the future.

Giga-tronics competition has greater resources

The Company’s instrument, switch, oscillator and synthesizer products compete with Agilent, Anritsu, EADS, Aeroflex and Rohde & Schwarz. Many of these companies have substantially greater research and development, manufacturing, marketing, financial, and technological personnel and managerial resources than Giga-tronics. These resources also make these competitors better able to withstand difficult market conditions than the Company. There can be no assurance that any products developed by the competitors will not gain greater market acceptance than any developed by Giga-tronics.

Giga-tronics acquisitions may not be effectively integrated and their integration may be costly

As part of its business strategy, Giga-tronics may broaden its product lines and expand its markets, in part through the acquisition of other business entities. Giga-tronics is subject to various risks in connection with any future acquisitions. Such risks include, among other things, the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of the Company’s business, the inability of management to maximize the financial and strategic position of the Company by the successful incorporation of acquired technology and rights into its product offerings, the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. The Company has not made any acquisitions in the past several years. No assurance can be given that any acquisition by Giga-tronics will or will not occur, that if an acquisition does occur, that it will not materially harm the Company or that any such acquisition will be successful in enhancing the Company’s business. The Company currently contemplates that future acquisitions may involve the issuance of additional shares of common stock. Any such issuance may result in dilution to all Giga-tronics’ shareholders, and sales of such shares in significant volume by the shareholders of acquired companies may depress the price of its common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

Giga-tronics produces instruments, subsystems and sophisticated microwave components that have broad applications in both defense electronics and wireless telecommunications. In fiscal years 2012 and 2011 Giga-tronics business consisted of two operating and reporting segments: Giga-tronics Division and Microsource.

Company business is highly dependent on government spending in the defense electronics sector and on the wireless telecommunications market. Commercial orders have declined on a year-to-date basis for fiscal 2012 versus fiscal 2011 whereas on a year-to-date basis, defense orders have improved in fiscal 2012 versus fiscal 2011.

The Company continues to monitor costs, including personnel, facilities and other expenses, to more appropriately align costs with revenues.

Results of Operations

New orders by segment are as follows for the fiscal years ended:

New Orders					% change
					2012			2011
					vs.			vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011			2010
Giga-tronics Division	$	11,305	$	14,603		(23	%)		28	%
Microsource		2,001		1,579		27	%		(78	%)
Total	$	13,306	$	16,182		(18	%)		(12	%)

New orders received in fiscal 2012 decreased 18% to $13,306,000 from the $16,182,000 received in fiscal 2011. New orders decreased primarily due to a decrease in commercial orders partially offset by an increase in military orders.

New orders received in fiscal 2011 decreased 12% to $16,182,000 from the $18,448,000 received in fiscal 2010. New orders decreased primarily due to a decrease in military orders partially offset by an increase in commercial orders.

In fiscal 2012, orders at Giga-tronics Division decreased primarily due to a decrease in commercial demand for its products whereas orders at Microsource increased primarily due to a shifting of military orders from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012.

In fiscal 2011, orders at Giga-tronics Division increased primarily due to an increase in commercial demand for its products whereas orders at Microsource decreased primarily due to a shifting of military orders from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012.

The following table shows order backlog and related information at fiscal year-end:

Backlog					% change
					2012			2011
					vs.			vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011			2010
Backlog of unfilled orders	$	3,839	$	3,649		5	%		(57	%)
Backlog of unfilled orders shippable within one year		3,839		3,333		15	%		(56	%)
Long term backlog reclassified during year as shippable within one year		1,648		1,123		47	%		(53	%)
Net cancellations during year of previous FYE one-year backlog		-		-		-			-

The increase in backlog at year-end 2012 of 5% was primarily due to orders received from switch and component customers.

The decrease in backlog at year-end 2011 of 57% was primarily due to receiving only the first year order release of a four-year contract for products installed on military planes.

The allocation of net sales was as follows for the fiscal years shown:

Allocation of Net Sales					% change
					2012			2011
					vs.			vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011			2010
Commercial	$	5,673	$	11,600		(51	%)		72	%
Government / Defense		7,443		9,429		(21	%)		(23	%)
Total	$	13,116	$	21,029		(38	%)		10	%

The allocation of net sales by segment was as follows for the fiscal years shown:

Allocation of Net Sales by Segment					% change
					2012			2011
					vs.			vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011			2010
Giga-tronics Division
Commercial	$	5,355	$	10,281		(48	%)		111	%
Government / Defense		5,148		3,665		40	%		(49	%)
Total	$	10,503	$	13,946		(25	%)		16	%

Microsource
Commercial	$	318	$	1,319		(76	%)		(29	%)
Government / Defense		2,295		5,764		(60	%)		11	%
Total	$	2,613	$	7,083		(63	%)		0	%

Fiscal 2012 net sales were $13,116,000, a 38% decrease from the $21,029,000 of net sales in 2011. The decrease in sales was primarily due to a decrease in commercial shipments. Sales at Giga-tronics Division decreased 25% or $3,443,000. Microsource sales decreased by $4,470,000. The decrease in sales has two main factors: sales to a major consumer electronics manufacturer contributed heavily to total sales in fiscal year 2011; however, additional orders from that manufacturer were not received in fiscal year 2012. Secondly, there was a delay in a large defense contract for Microsource components.

Fiscal 2011 net sales were $21,029,000, a 10% increase from the $19,057,000 of net sales in 2010. The increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in commercial shipments. Sales at Giga-tronics Division increased 16% or $1,945,000. Microsource sales increased by $27,000.

The allocation of cost of sales by segment was as follows for the fiscal years shown:

Allocation of Cost of Sales by Segment					% change
					2012			2011
					vs.			vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011			2010
Giga-tronics Division	$	6,990	$	7,734		(10	%)		8	%
Microsource		2,996		4,366		(31	%)		26	%
Total	$	9,986	$	12,100		(17	%)		14	%

In fiscal 2012, cost of sales decreased 17% to $9,986,000 from $12,100,000 in fiscal 2011, driven primarily by lower sales volume at both Giga-tronics Division and Microsource, which was partially offset by increases in cost of sales at both Giga-tronics Division and Microsource from $1,549,000 in excess and obsolete inventory reserves including reserves placed on products that reached the end of their life.

In fiscal 2011, cost of sales increased 14% to $12,100,000 from $10,622,000 in fiscal 2010, driven primarily by an increase in sales.

Operating expenses were as follows for the fiscal years shown:

Operating Expenses					% change
					2012			2011
					vs.			vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011			2010
Engineering	$	2,893	$	2,159		34	%		42	%
Selling, general and administrative		6,085		5,927		3	%		6	%
Total	$	8,978	$	8,086		11	%		14	%

Operating expenses increased $892,000 in fiscal 2012 over 2011 due to an increase of $734,000 in product development expenses excluding NRE costs and an increase of $158,000 in selling, general and administrative expense. The increase in product development expenses is due to a more aggressive investment in instrument products. In fiscal year 2012 Giga-tronics strengthened marketing activities with a new Vice President of Marketing along with increased travel and spending on advertising. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is a result of higher marketing expense of $255,000, higher commission expense of $96,000 offset by lower administrative expense of $193,000. The Company recorded $289,000 of share based compensation expense in fiscal 2012.

Net interest income in 2012 was not materially different than 2011.

Net interest income in 2011 increased by $20,000 due to improved cash management procedures.

Giga-tronics recorded a pretax loss of $5,850,000 for fiscal year 2012 versus pretax income of $847,000 for the same period last year. The loss before income taxes in fiscal 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume and an increase in operating expenses primarily associated with an increase in R&D efforts in fiscal 2012. Giga-tronics recorded net loss of $5,852,000 or $1.16 per fully diluted share for fiscal 2012 versus net income of $816,000 or $0.17 per fully diluted share in fiscal 2011.

Inventories consist of the following:

Net Inventories					% change
					2012
					vs.
(Dollars in thousands)	2012		2011		2011
Raw materials	$	2,313	$	3,518		(34	%)
Work-in-progress		1,651		1,349		22	%
Finished goods		241		134		80	%
Demonstration inventory		495		385		29	%
Total	$	4,700	$	5,386		(13	%)

Inventories decreased by $686,000 at the end of fiscal year 2012 compared to the prior fiscal year end, primarily due to inventory reserve adjustments of $1,549,000 for excess and obsolete inventories offset by purchase of new inventory. Giga-tronics began a shift in strategy where future product offerings will not compete directly with similar product offerings from substantially larger competitor companies. To this end existing product lines were pruned and excess inventories were written off. Items deemed at end of life amounted to $150,000 at Giga-tronics and $697,000 at Microsource.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

As of March 31, 2012, Giga-tronics had $2,365,000 in cash and cash-equivalents, compared to $1,408,000 as of March 26, 2011.

Working capital at the end of fiscal year 2012 is $6,568,000 as compared to $10,142,000 at the end of fiscal year 2011. The current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) at March 31, 2012 is 4.14 as compared to 4.75 at March 26, 2011. The decrease in working capital was due primarily to operating losses for fiscal year 2012, with the cash received from collection of accounts receivable funding operating expenses and the volume of sales not sufficient to replenish accounts receivable balances. While overall working capital decreased, cash and cash equivalents at year end increased $957,000 from the prior year. The increase in cash is largely due to investment in the Company by Alara Capital.

Cash used in operations amounted to $806,000 in 2012 and $1,503,000 in 2011. Cash used in fiscal year 2012 operations is primarily attributed to the loss for the year. Cash used in fiscal year 2011 operations is primarily attributed to the increase in accounts receivable and a reduction in deferred revenue.

Additions to property and equipment were $214,000 in 2012 compared to $368,000 in 2011 Capital equipment spending in fiscal 2012 and 2011included upgraded computer network infrastructure and electronic document scanning equipment. .

Other cash inflows in fiscal year 2012 are due to the $1.997 million investment by Alara Capital in exchange for convertible preferred stock shares and from the sale of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options. In fiscal year 2011 other cash inflow was mainly from the sale of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options.

We believe the funds generated by the collection of our accounts receivable, the anticipated revenues of our operations and reductions in operating expenses, continued management of our supply chain, and potential funds available to us through debt or equity financing, are adequate to fund our anticipated cash needs through the next twelve months. Although our line of credit expires in September 2012, we expect to renew the line of credit at maturity. Additionally, we do not have any outstanding balances on the line of credit. We anticipate that we will retain all earnings, if any, to fund future growth in the business. We believe we have effectively implemented cash management controls to meet ongoing obligations and as such believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to continue to operate over the next twelve months.

Should unforeseen circumstances occur, there are no assurances that we will not be required to seek additional working capital through debt or equity offerings. If such additional working capital is required, there are no assurances that such financing will be available on favorable terms to the Company, if at all, though we have been successful in the past in obtaining the levels of capital needed to continue operations and believe that we would be able to do so if necessary for the foreseeable future

Contractual Obligations

The Company leases various facilities under operating leases that expire through December 2016. Total future minimum lease payments under these leases amount to approximately $3,550,000.

The Company leases equipment under capital leases that expire through July 2014. The future minimum lease payments under these leases amount to approximately $26,000.

The Company is committed to purchase certain inventory under non-cancelable purchase orders. As of March 31, 2012, total non–cancelable purchase orders were approximately $887,000 through fiscal 2013 and are scheduled to be delivered to the Company at various dates through January 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and the results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements included in this report and the data used to prepare them. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the course of such preparation. The Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included with the consolidated financial statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company re-evaluates its judgments, estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, product warranties, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, product development costs and share based compensation. The Company bases its judgment and estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and its beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management of Giga-tronics has identified the following as the Company’s critical accounting policies:

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when products are shipped and the risk of loss has passed. Revenue related to products shipped subject to customers’ evaluation is recognized upon final acceptance.

Product Warranties

The Company’s warranty policy generally provides one to three years of coverage depending on the product. The Company records a liability for estimated warranty obligations at the date products are sold. The estimated cost of warranty coverage is based on the Company’s actual historical experience with its current products or similar products. For new products, the required reserve is based on historical experience of similar products until sufficient historical data has been collected on the new product. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The Company has estimated an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on analysis of specifically identified problem accounts, outstanding receivables, consideration of the age of those receivables, and the Company’s historical collection experience.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews inventory on hand to identify and write down excess and obsolete inventory based on estimated product demand.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Future tax benefits are subject to a valuation allowance when management is unable to conclude that its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers both positive and negative evidence and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company considers all tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the likelihood of realization. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the positions taken or the amounts of the positions that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above, if any, would be reflected as unrecognized tax benefits, as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

Product Development Costs

The Company incurs pre-production costs on certain long-term supply arrangements. The costs, which represent non-recurring engineering and tooling costs, are capitalized as other assets and amortized over their useful lives when reimbursable by the customer. All other pre-production and product development costs are expensed as incurred.

Share Based Compensation

The Company has a stock incentive plan that provides for the issuance of stock options and restricted stock to employees and directors. The Company calculates share based compensation expense using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and records the fair value of awards expected to vest over the requisite service period. In so doing, the Company makes certain key assumptions in making estimates used in the model. The Company believes the estimates used, which are presented in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are appropriate and reasonable.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no other off-balance-sheet arrangements (including standby letters of credit, guaranties, contingent interests in transferred assets, contingent obligations indexed to its own stock or any obligation arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides credit or other support to the Company), that have or are likely to have a material effect on its financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenue, expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to meet its anticipated operating and capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future. Giga-tronics intends to maintain research and development expenditures for the purpose of broadening its product base. From time to time, Giga-tronics considers a variety of acquisition opportunities to also broaden its product lines and expand its markets. Such acquisition activity could also increase the Company’s operating expenses and require the additional use of capital resources.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giga-tronics Incorporated (“Giga-tronics”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Microsource Incorporated (“Microsource”), collectively the “Company”. The Company’s corporate office and manufacturing facilities are located in Northern California. Giga-tronics and its subsidiary company design, manufacture and market a broad line of test and measurement equipment used in the development, test, and maintenance of wireless communications products and systems, flight navigational equipment, electronic defense systems, and automatic testing systems. The Company also manufactures and markets a line of test, measurement, and handling equipment used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. The Company’s products are sold worldwide to customers in the test and measurement and semiconductor industries. The Company currently has no foreign-based operations or material amounts of identifiable assets in foreign countries. Its gross margins on foreign and domestic sales are similar, and all non-U.S. sales are made in U.S. dollars.

Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giga-tronics and its wholly- owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, share-based compensation and income taxes are particularly subject to change.

Fiscal Year The Company’s financial reporting year consists of either a 52 week or 53 week period ending on the last Saturday of the month of March. Fiscal year 2012, ended on March 31, 2012 was a 53 week year, while fiscal year 2011, ended on March 26, 2011 was a 52 week year. All references to years in the consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.

Reclassifications Certain reclassifications, none of which affected the prior year’s net income or shareholders’ equity, have been made to prior year balances in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when products are shipped or the customer accepts title transfer. If the arrangement involves acceptance terms, the Company defers revenue until product acceptance is received. On certain large development contracts, revenue is recognized upon achievement of substantive milestones. Determining whether a milestone is substantive is a matter of judgment and that assessment is performed only at the inception of the arrangement. The consideration earned from the achievement of a milestone must meet all of the following for the milestone to be considered substantive:

a. It is commensurate with either of the following:

1.	The Company’s performance to achieve the milestone

2.	The enhancement of the value of the delivered item or items as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the Company's performance to achieve the milestone.

b. It relates solely to past performance.

c. It is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential milestone consideration) within the arrangement.

Milestones for revenue recognition are agreed upon with the customer prior to the start of the contract and some milestones will be tied to product shipping while others will be tied to design review.

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The Company has estimated an allowance for uncollectable accounts based on analysis of specifically identified accounts, outstanding receivables, consideration of the age of those receivables and the Company’s historical collection experience. The activity in the reserve account is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2012			March 26, 2011
Beginning balance	$	248		$	95
Provision for doubtful accounts		(148	)		154
Recoveries of doubtful accounts		-			-
Write-off of doubtful accounts		(4	)		(1	)
Ending balance	$	96		$	248

Accrued Warranty The Company’s warranty policy generally provides one to three years of coverage depending on the product. The Company records a liability for estimated warranty obligations at the date products are sold. The estimated cost of warranty coverage is based on the Company’s actual historical experience with its current products or similar products. For new products, the required reserve is based on historical experience of similar products until such time as sufficient historical data has been collected on the new product. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using full absorption and standard costing. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Standard costing and overhead allocation rates are reviewed by management periodically, but not less than annually. Overhead rates are recorded to inventory based on capacity management expects for the period the inventory will be held. Reserves are recorded within cost of sales for impaired or obsolete inventory when the cost of inventory exceeds its estimated fair value. Management evaluates the need for inventory reserves based on its estimate of the amount realizable through projected sales including an evaluation of whether a product is reaching the end of its life cycle. When inventory is discarded it is written off against the inventory reserve, as inventory generally has already been fully reserved for at the time it is discarded.

Research and Development Research and development expenditures, which include the cost of materials consumed in research and development activities, salaries, wages and other costs of personnel engaged in research and development, costs of services performed by others for research and development on the Company’s behalf and indirect costs are expensed as operating expenses when incurred.

Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to ten years for machinery and equipment and office fixtures. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under capital leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the lease term.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, the asset’s carrying amount would be written down to fair value. Additionally, the Company reports long-lived assets to be disposed of at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As of March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011, management believes there has been no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets.

Deferred Rent Rent expense is recognized in an amount equal to the minimum guaranteed base rent plus future rental increases amortized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, including free rent periods.

Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Future tax benefits are subject to a valuation allowance when management is unable to conclude that its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers both positive and negative evidence and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

The Company considers all tax positions recognized in its financial statements for the likelihood of realization. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the positions taken or the amounts of the positions that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above, if any, would be reflected as unrecognized tax benefits, as applicable, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

Product Development Costs The Company incurs pre-production costs on certain long-term supply arrangements. The costs, which represent non-recurring engineering and tooling costs, are capitalized as other assets and amortized over their useful life when reimbursable by the customer. All other product development costs are charged to operations as incurred. There were no capitalized pre-production costs included in other assets as of March 31, 2012 or March 26, 2011.

Software Development Costs Development costs included in the research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products are expensed as incurred, until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. To date, completion of software development has been concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no costs have been capitalized.

Share-based Compensation The Company has established the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of options for up to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company records share-based compensation expense for the fair value of all stock options and restricted stock that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.

The cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as cash flows from financing in the statements of cash flows. These excess tax benefits were not significant for the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. There were no excess tax benefits for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2011.

In calculating compensation related to stock option grants, the fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The computation of expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is based on the historical volatility of Giga-tronics’ share price. The expected term is estimated based on a review of historical employee exercise behavior with respect to option grants.

The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of the underlying shares at the date of the grant. Management makes estimates regarding pre-vesting forfeitures that will impact timing of compensation expense recognized for stock option and restricted stock awards.

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share incorporate the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive options are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) There are no items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss).

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company’s cash equivalents consist of overnight deposits with federally insured financial institutions. Under Section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, those funds on deposit are covered by unlimited deposit insurance until December 31, 2012. Concentration of credit risk in trade accounts receivable results primarily from sales to major customers. The Company individually evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral or other security. At March 31, 2012, three customers combined accounted for 36% of consolidated gross accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of the receivables. At March 26, 2011, one customer comprised 64% of consolidated gross accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of the receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount for the Company’s cash-equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair market value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The objective of this Update is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Previous guidance under Topic 350 required an entity to test goodwill for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill (step one). If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe this Update will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

2 Cash and Cash-Equivalents

Cash and cash-equivalents of $2,365,000 and $1,408,000 at March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011, respectively, consist of demand deposits with a financial institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

3 Inventories

Inventories, net of reserves, consist of the following:

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2012		March 26, 2011
Raw materials	$	2,313	$	3,518
Work-in-progress		1,651		1,349
Finished goods		241		134
Demonstration inventory		495		385
Total	$	4,700	$	5,386

4 Selling and Advertising Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of commissions paid to various marketing agencies. Commission expense totaled $661,000 and $565,000 for fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, totaled $146,000 and $98,000 for fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.

5 Significant Customers and Industry Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments: Giga-tronics Division and Microsource. Giga-tronics Division produces a broad line of test and measurement equipment used in the development, test and maintenance of wireless communications products and systems, flight navigational equipment, electronic defense systems and automatic testing systems and designs, manufactures, and markets a line of switching devices that link together many specific purpose instruments that comprise automatic test systems. Microsource develops and manufactures a broad line of Yttrium, Iron and Garnet (YIG) tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers, which are used in a wide variety of microwave instruments or devices.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on earnings before income taxes. Segment net sales include sales to external customers. Inter-segment activities are eliminated in consolidation. Assets include accounts receivable, inventories, equipment, cash, deferred income taxes, prepaid expenses and other long-term assets. The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers at terms that allow a reasonable profit to the seller. During the periods reported there were no significant inter-segment sales or transfers.

The Company's reportable operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business utilizes different technology and requires different accounting systems. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues and pre-tax income by operating segment. The tables below present information for the fiscal years ended in 2012 and 2011.

The Company’s Giga-tronics Division and Microsource segments sell to agencies of the U.S. government and U.S. defense-related customers. In fiscal 2012 and 2011, U.S. government and U.S. defense-related customers accounted for 57% and 44% of sales, respectively. During fiscal 2012, one customer accounted for 17% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 31, 2012 and was included in the Microsource segment. A second customer accounted for 12% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 31, 2012 and was included in the Giga-tronics Division. During fiscal 2011, one customer accounted for 27% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 26, 2011 and was included in the Giga-tronics Division. During fiscal 2011, two customers accounted for 13% and 11% of the Company’s consolidated revenues at March 26, 2011 and was included in the Microsource segment.

Export sales accounted for 20% and 40% of the Company’s sales in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Export sales by geographical area are shown below:

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2012		March 26, 2011
Americas	$	195	$	1,603

Total	$	2,563	$	8,482

6 Earnings per Share

Net income and shares used in per share computations for the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 are as follows:

(In thousands except per share data)	March 31, 2012			March 26, 2011
Net (loss) income	$	(5,852	)	$	816

Weighted average:
Common shares outstanding		5,012			4,935
Potential common shares		-			105
Common shares assuming dilution		5,012			5,040

Net (loss) earnings per share - basic	$	(1.17	)	$	0.17
Net (loss) earnings per share - diluted	$	(1.17	)	$	0.16
Stock options not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		1,305			636
Restricted stock awards not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		60			90
Convertible preferred stock not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		1,000			-
Warrants not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		849			-

The number of stock options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the period ended March 31, 2012 is a result of the Company’s net loss and, therefore, the options are anti-dilutive. The number of stock options not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the period ended March 26, 2011 reflects stock options where the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and are, therefore, anti-dilutive. The number of restricted stock awards not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 reflect contingently issuable shares for which the performance conditions necessary for the awards to vest had not been met as of March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011. The number of convertible preferred shares not included in the computation of diluted EPS for period ended March 31, 2012 reflects convertible preferred stock where the assumed proceeds from conversion were greater than the average market price of the common shares and are, therefore, anti-dilutive.

7 Income Taxes

The increase in valuation allowance from March 26, 2011 to March 31, 2012 was $2,288,000.

As of March 31, 2012 the Company had pre-tax federal net operating loss carryforwards of $28,234,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $23,440,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire from fiscal 2016 through 2032 and from 2014 through 2032, respectively. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations due to certain ownership change limitations as required by Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The federal income tax credits begin to expire from 2020 through 2032 and state income tax credit carryforwards are carried forward indefinitely.

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets, which may not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers both positive and negative evidence and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $850,000 related to uncertain tax positions. The unrecognized tax benefits reduce the “Income tax credits” disclosed in the table of deferred tax assets above. The Company has not recorded a liability for any penalties or interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company files U.S. federal and California state tax returns. The Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to the fiscal year 2009 for federal purposes and fiscal year 2008 for California purposes, except in certain limited circumstances. The Company does not have any tax audits or other issues pending.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions, excluding potential interest and penalties, is as follows:

	Fiscal Year 2012		Fiscal Year 2011
Balance as of beginning of year		834,000	$	120,000
Additions based on current year tax positions		16,000		34,000
Reductions for prior year tax positions and lapses of applicable statute		-		(72,000	)
Additions based on prior year tax positions		-		752,000
Balance as of end of year	$	850,000	$	834,000

The total amount of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 is not material. The amount of tax benefits that would impact the effective rate, if recognized, is not expected to be material. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes with respect to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

8 Share-based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans

Share-based Compensation The Company has established the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of options and restricted stock for up to 1,400,000 shares of common stock at 100% of fair market value at the date of grant, with each grant requiring approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. Options granted vest in one or more installments through 2017 and must be exercised while the grantee is employed by the Company or within a certain period after termination of employment. Options granted to employees shall not have terms in excess of 10 years from the grant date. Holders of options may be granted stock appreciation rights (SAR), which entitle them to surrender outstanding options for a cash distribution under certain changes in ownership of the Company, as defined in the stock option plan. As of March 31, 2012, no SAR’s have been granted under the option plan. As of March 31, 2012, the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance is 225,867. All outstanding options have either a five year or a ten year life.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 was $1.30and $1.60, respectively, and was calculated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Years Ended	March 31, 2012			March 26, 2011
Dividend yield	Zero			Zero
Expected volatility		92	%		101	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.94	%		1.13	%
Expected term (years)		8.32			3.17

A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding for the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 is presented below:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Terms (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at March 27, 2010		868,027	$	1.89
Granted		140,000		2.41
Exercised		102,763		1.90
Forfeited / Expired		20,250		2.18
Outstanding at March 26, 2011		885,014	$	1.96
Granted		827,500		1.58
Exercised		35,590		1.36
Forfeited / Expired		372,112		1.96
Outstanding at March 31, 2012		1,304,812	$	1.74		6.9	$	3,041

Exercisable at March 31, 2012		319,187	$	1.89		2.1	$	3,041

Expected to vest at March 31, 2012		744,202	$	1.69		9.5	$	-

As of March 31, 2012, there was $818,341 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.15 years. There were 175,000 and 252,224 options vested during the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 was $230,571 and $314,017, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises for the years ended March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 was $48,000 and $195,000, respectively.

There were no restricted stock awards granted during the year ended March 31, 2012 and 90,000 restricted stock awards granted during the year ended March 26, 2011 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.34 per share. 30,000 of the restricted stock awards with the same weighted average grant date fair value were forfeited during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and none were forfeited during fiscal 2011. The restricted stock awards are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value are known at the grant date and the fair value at the grant date is amortized over the requisite service period net of estimated forfeitures. The restricted stock awards are performance-based and one-third will vest annually each year through 2013 only if certain sales and profit goals are achieved by the Company. None of the restricted stock awards were vested at March 31, 2012 or March 26, 2011 and no compensation cost was recognized for restricted stock awards during fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 because management believes it is more likely than not that the performance criteria will not be met.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan This plan expired in September 2006 and is no longer available.

401(k) Plans The Company has established 401(k) plans which cover substantially all employees. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the plans for up to 100% of their defined compensation. The Company matches a percentage of the participant’s contributions in accordance with the plan. Participants vest ratably in Company contributions over a four-year period. Company contributions to the plans for fiscal 2012 and 2011 were approximately $37,000 and $24,000, respectively.

9 Commitments

The Company leases a 47,300 square foot facility located in San Ramon, California, under a twelve-year lease that commenced in April 1994, which was amended on April 1, 2010 and now expires December 31, 2016. The amendment resulted in a reduction of monthly lease costs. The Company leases a 33,400 square foot facility located in Santa Rosa, California, under a twenty-year lease that commenced in July 1993 and was amended in April 2003, to now expire May 31, 2013.

The aggregate rental expense was $1,028,000 and $1,025,000 in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company leases equipment under capital leases that expire through July 2014. Capital leases with costs totaling $31,000 and $130,000 are reported net of accumulated depreciation of $3,000 and $45,000at March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011, respectively. The future minimum lease payments under these leases amount to approximately $26,000 at March 31, 2012.

10 Warranty Obligations

The Company records a liability in cost of sales for estimated warranty obligations at the date products are sold. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. The following provides a reconciliation of changes in the Company’s warranty reserve. The Company provides no other guarantees.

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2012			March 26, 2011

11 Line of Credit

Effective September 15, 2011, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit for $2,500,000, with interest payable at prime rate plus 1.5%. The line of credit expires on September 15, 2012. The borrowing capacity under this line of credit is based on the Company’s accounts receivable and is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The line of credit has standard financial covenants that require the maintenance of prescribed levels of working capital and shareholders’ equity of which the Company was in compliance at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012 and March 26, 2011 there was no balance on the line of credit.

12 Series B Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and Warrants

On November 10, 2011, the Company received approximately $2.2 million in new capital from Alara Capital AVI II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”) under the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on October 31, 2011. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 9,997 shares of its new Series B Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock to the Investor for aggregate consideration of $2,199,340, at a price of $220 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. Alara Capital Partners, LLC, a technology investment firm, is the sponsor of the Investor.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock initially is convertible at the option of the holder into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion ratio is subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions. If all shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted as of December 31, 2011, holders of such shares would acquire 999,700 shares of common stock of the Company, or 16.6% of the pro forma number of shares of common stock that would have been outstanding as of that date. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $231, equal to 105% of the purchase price. If the Company pays a dividend on its common stock, it is required to pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock until December 31, 2013, equal to 110% and thereafter equal to 100% of the cash dividend that would be payable on the number of shares of common stock into which each share of Series B Preferred Stock is then convertible. The Series B Preferred Stock generally votes together with the common stock, on an as-converted basis, on each matter submitted to the vote or approval of the holders of common stock, and votes as a separate class with respect to certain actions that adversely affect the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and on other matters as required by law.

The Company also issued to the Investor a Warrant to purchase up to 848,684 additional shares of common stock of the Company. The exercise price of the Warrant is $3.30 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar events. The Warrant will cease to be exercisable 30 months after the Shareholder Approval Date, which is defined as the date on which shareholders approve exercise of the Warrant as required by rules of NASDAQ Capital Markets relating to certain private sales of securities. The Company held a special meeting of shareholders on February 7, 2012, at which the shareholders gave the required approval for exercise of the Warrant. Therefore, February 7, 2012 is the Shareholder Approval Date, and the Warrant must be exercised, if at all, on or before August 7, 2014.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had recorded $1,997,000 as preferred stock on the consolidated balance sheet. This amount is net of stock offering costs of approximately $202,000 and represents the value attributable to both the convertible preferred stock and warrants issued to the Investor. After considering the value of the warrants, the effective conversion rate of the preferred stock is greater than the common stock price on date of issue and therefore no beneficial conversion feature is present.

13 Restatement

Subsequent to filing the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 26, 2011, the Company determined that a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset should have been maintained as of March 26, 2011. Management determined that it was necessary to maintain the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets after considering information that should have been used to measure the positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets in the original assessment.

Realization of the net deferred tax asset is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. In its reassessment, Management concluded that objective and verifiable negative evidence represented by historic losses outweighed more subjective positive evidence of anticipated future income. As a result, the Company determined it necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset as of March 26, 2011; restated its financial statements and filed an amended Form 10-K on June 19, 2012.

Additional information related to the restatement is included in Note 2 of the financial statements included in the Form 10-K/A filed on June 19, 2012.

Giga-tronics Incorporated

San Ramon, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Giga-tronics Incorporated as of March 31, 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2012, of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

At the time that our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 26, 2011 was filed on May 19, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and then Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 26, 2011. Subsequent to that evaluation, on May 17, 2012, we determined a restatement of the year ended March 26, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A was required. Accordingly, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and current acting Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 26, 2011 and March 31, 2012 because of a material weakness in internal control over the assessment of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, as discussed below.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of Giga-tronics is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Based on this assessment, management identified the following material weakness in connection with the restatement of the year ended March 26, 2011 financial statements.

The Company has not designed and implemented adequate controls over assessment of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in that adequate criteria have not been established to assess positive and negative evidence and that an independent review process over the inputs and conclusion in this assessment was not in place. As a result, a restatement of the financial statements for the year ended March 26, 2011, was necessary to present the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

The Company filed an amended annual report on Form 10K/A for the year ended March 26, 2011, and amended quarterly reports on Form 10Q/A for the three interim quarters for fiscal 2012 to reflect a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, as more fully discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the restatement, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has determined that the lack of adequate controls over the assessment of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets constituted a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

Controls relating to the material weakness identified in connection with the restatement of our consolidated financial statements have not been put in place as of March 31, 2012 and Management has thus concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012, based on the criteria described in the COSO Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012, has not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Material Weakness Relating to Internal Control Over the Assessment of the Valuation Allowance against Deferred Tax Assets

There was lack of adequate controls over the assessment of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that constituted a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. The Company has not designed and implemented adequate controls over assessment of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in that adequate criteria have not been established to assess positive and negative evidence and that an independent review process over the inputs and conclusion in this assessment was not in place.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

Remediation of Material Weakness Relating to Internal Control Over the Assessment of the Valuation Allowance against Deferred Tax Assets

The Company is in the process of creating a formal process related to the design and implementation of controls over the assessment of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Management anticipates that controls will include the establishment of criteria for assessing positive and negative evidence and the establishment of an independent review process over the inputs and the conclusion reached in the assessment process. Management expects that this process will include periodic oversight by the Audit Committee. In this regard, the Company has recently added a new board member with accounting expertise.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 15d-15 that occurred during the year ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
