FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, including our liquidity, our receipt of future orders and whether our backlog will result in orders. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predict,” “should” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions; uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.

This Report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this Report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness, though we do generally believe the data to be reliable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of risks and uncertainties due to a variety of factors, including that (i) we will continue to secure orders and backlog in 2023 and that our Giga-tronics legacy business development efforts to generate new orders will improve, (ii) we will secure adequate cash to bridge operations, (iii) the ongoing geopolitical military conflict (including, the Russian war on Ukraine, tensions with China and Taiwan and unrest in the Middle East) will continue, (iv) supply chain turmoil and inflation will continue to affect customer demand for our product offerings, (v) defense budgets for electronic technology solutions that we provide will not decrease, (vi) our key medical customer will not reduce expected orders, (vii) the effect that the banking crisis and the slowdown in the capital markets and securities offerings will have on our ability to raise capital, and (viii) those other risks described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and throughout this report. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Business

Giga-tronics Incorporated (“GIGA”) through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), designs, manufactures and distributes specialized electronics equipment, automated test solutions, power electronics, supply and distribution solutions, as well as radio, microwave and millimeter wave communication systems and components for a variety of applications with a focus on the global defense industry. GIGA also offers bespoke technology solutions for mission critical applications in the medical, industrial, transportation and telecommunications markets.

GIGA has two subsidiaries Microsource Inc. (“Microsource”) and Gresham Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Gresham Worldwide, Inc.) (“GWW”). GIGA manages its acquired operations through its wholly owned subsidiary GWW. GIGA is a majority owned subsidiary of Ault Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ault” or “Parent”) and currently operates as an operating segment of Ault. GWW has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Gresham Power Electronics Ltd. (“Gresham Power”), Relec Electronics Ltd. (“Relec”), and Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd. (“Enertec”), and one majority owned subsidiary, Microphase Corporation (“Microphase”). GIGA manufactures specialized electronic equipment for use in military test and airborne operational applications. Our operations consist of three business segments:

•

Radio Frequency (”RF”) Solutions (”RF Solutions”) – consists of Microphase which is located in Connecticut. Microphase designs and manufactures custom microwave products for military applications and generates revenue primarily through sole-source production contracts for custom engineered components and RADAR filters.

•

Power Electronics & Displays - consists of two subsidiaries, namely Gresham Power and Relec located in the United Kingdom which primarily produce power conversion systems.

•

Precision Electronic Solutions – consists of one subsidiary and one division, namely Enertec located in Israel and the Giga-tronics Division including Microsource located in California and New Hampshire, primarily producing test systems and RF filters for the defense industries.

Note 2. Liquidity and Financial Condition

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring net losses and operations have not provided cash flows. In view of these matters, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to finance its future development activities and its working capital needs largely through the sale of equity securities with some additional funding from other sources, including term notes until such time as funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been funded by our parent company, Ault. The extent of continued support from Ault is not assured as we seek additional financing from third parties. There is substantial doubt that we will have sufficient cash to meet our needs over the next 12 months. Our ability to obtain additional financing is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor and lender sentiment with respect to us and our industry. If we are unable to raise additional financing in the near term as needed, our operations and production plans may be scaled back or curtailed and our operations and growth would be impeded.

Our near term fixed commitments for cash expenditures are primarily for payments for employee salaries, operating leases, accounts payables, and inventory purchase commitments.

Note 3. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (”US”), (“GAAP”). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 included in this report was derived from the Company’s audited 2022 financial statements contained in the above referenced 2022 Annual Report. Results of the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Basis of Presentation

Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.

Principles of Consolidation

The Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with GWW being the accounting acquirer and GIGA being the acquired company for accounting purposes. All historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of GWW and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements after completion of the Acquisition will include the assets and liabilities and operations of GIGA and its subsidiaries from the Closing Date of the Acquisition. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The shares and net loss per common share prior to the merger have been retroactively restated to reflect the share exchange ratio established in the merger.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” (“ASU 2016-13”) to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminated the calculation of implied goodwill fair value. Instead, companies will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill over its fair value. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. For investments where little or no public market exists, management’s determination of fair value is based on the best available information which may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration various factors including earnings history, financial condition, recent sales prices of the issuer’s securities and liquidity risks.

Below are the changes to level 3 measured liabilities:

Note 13. Senior Secured Convertible Notes (4) and Warrants

On January 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) pursuant to which the Company issued $3.3 million 10% original issue discount Senior Secured Convertible Notes (4) (the “Notes”) and five-year common stock purchase warrants, for total gross proceeds of $3,000,000.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes (4)

Notes payable at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were comprised of the following :


Fair value (In thousands)	Total
Balance as of December 31, 2022	$	—
Issuance of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (4) at January 11, 2023		1,803
Change in fair value of Senior Secured Convertible Notes		(143	)
Balance as of March 31, 2023	$	1,660

The Notes are secured by the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into for such purpose, and are senior to the indebtedness payable to Ault and Ault Lending, pursuant to a Subordination Agreement entered into in connection with the SPA.

The Notes mature on the earlier of (i) October 6, 2023, or (ii) completion of an uplisting to a national securities exchange (an “Uplist Transaction”).

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum payable monthly, which increases to 18% upon an event of default. In addition, under the Notes upon an event of default the Company is required to pay 20% of its consolidated revenues monthly on each interest payment date in reduction of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

The Notes provide for certain events of default which include:

•

failure of the Uplist Transaction to occur by the maturity date;

•

failure to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement under the Registration Rights Agreement;

•

suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock for five consecutive trading days;

•

failure to timely deliver shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants;

•

failure to timely make payments under the Notes;

•

default under other indebtedness, and

•

certain other customary events of default, subject to certain exceptions and limitations

Upon an event of default, the holders will have the right to require the Company to prepay the Notes at a 125% premium (“Premium”). Further, upon a bankruptcy event of default or a change of control event, the Company will be required to prepay the Notes at a Premium. If the conversion price falls below $0.25, the Company may also elect to prepay the notes at a 125% Premium.

The Notes contain customary restrictive covenants including covenants against incurring new indebtedness or liens, changing the nature of its business, transfers of assets, transactions with affiliates, and issuances of securities, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes, Fair Value

The Company elected the fair value option with respect to the Senior Secured Convertible notes. The fair value of the Notes liability was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company used the probability-weighted expected return method ("PWERM") to value the Notes liability. This approach involved the estimation of future potential outcomes for the Notes holders, as well as values and probabilities associated with each respective potential outcome.

On January 11, 2023, the Company ascribed following probabilities to four possible scenarios:


	March 31, 2023				January 11, 2023
Scenario description	Estimated probability			Estimated date	Estimated probability			Estimated date
Uplist transaction		10.0	%	September 30, 2023		60.0	%	June 30, 2023
Held to maturity		60.0	%	October 6, 2023		10.0	%	October 6, 2023
Change of control		5.0	%	September 30, 2023		5.0	%	September 30, 2023
Default/ dissolution		25.0	%	September 1, 2023		25.0	%	September 1, 2023
Total		100.0	%			100.0	%

The Company filed an S-1 registration statement on February 13, 2023, for Ault to distribute its common and preferred shares of GIGA as a dividend to its stockholders, which was a critical step for the Uplist Transaction scenario. By March 31, 2023, the approval of the S-1 registration statement was delayed and the Company reduced the probability to complete the Uplist prior to September 30, 2023 to 10%, and increased the likelihood that the Notes liability will remain outstanding until maturity to 60%.

Based on these estimates, the Company arrived at the fair value of the Notes liability as shown below:


Senior Secured Convertible Notes (4):	March 31, 2023			January 11, 2023
Fair Value (In thousands)	$	1,660			$	1,803
Face value principle payment (In thousands)	$	3,333			$	3,333

Maturity Date	October 6, 2023				October 6, 2023
Interest rate		6.00	%			6.00	%
Valuation technique	PWERM				PWERM

The Company recorded the change in the fair value of the Notes of $143,000 on March 31, 2023 in “Other income and expense”.

Warrants

The Warrants entitle the holders to purchase a total of 1,666,666 shares of common stock for a five-year period from issuance, at an exercise price determined as follows: (i) beginning on the issuance date and for a period of 90 days thereafter, $0.78, (ii) if the Uplist Transaction has occurred as of the date of exercise, the lower of (A) $0.78 and (B) 110% of the per share offering price to the public in the Uplist Transaction, and (iii) if neither of (i) and (ii) apply, the lower of (A) $0.78 and (B) 90% of the lowest VWAP for the 10 trading days prior to the date of the exercise, subject to adjustment including downward adjustment upon any dilutive issuance of securities. If the Uplist Transaction is not completed prior to the maturity date of the Notes, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants will be doubled, without an adjustment to the exercise price.

The Warrants are liability classified and the Company performed a fair value analysis as shown below:


Warrant liability, current:	March 31, 2023			January 11, 2023
Fair Value (In thousands)	$	734		$	1,530

The Company recorded the change in the fair value of the warrants of $796,000 on March 31, 2023 as a gain in “Other income and expense”.

Placement Agent Warrant

Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) served as placement agent in the offering and received a cash commission in the amount of 8% of the gross proceeds, or $240,000. In addition, we paid the Placement Agent an expense allowance of $30,000. Furthermore, we issued the Placement Agent five-year warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 8% of the total number of shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants sold in the offering, or 1,200,000 shares. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of 110% of the Warrant exercise price. The Company performed a fair value analysis for the 1,200,000 warrants similarly to the warrants analysis described above, and ascribed a fair value of $858,000 as of January 11, 2023. The warrants are classified as equity:

Note 16. Related Party Transactions

Allocation of General Corporate Expenses

Ault provided human resources, accounting, and other services to Gresham until September 8, 2022. Gresham obtained its business insurance under Ault’s policies. The accompanying financial statements of Gresham include allocations of these expenses. The allocation method calculates the appropriate share of overhead costs to Gresham by using Gresham’s revenue as a percentage of total revenue of Ault. Gresham believes the allocation methodology used is reasonable and has been consistently applied, and results in an appropriate allocation of costs incurred. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the cost that would have been incurred had Gresham been a stand-alone entity or of future costs. After the Business Combination on September 8, 2022, GIGA absorbed these costs and no expenses were allocated by Ault. Ault allocated $340,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 (In thousands):


	Three Months Ended

Net Transfers From Ault

The Company received funding from Ault to cover any shortfalls on operating cash requirements. In addition to the allocation of general corporate expenses, the Company received $0 and $177,000 from Ault for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 17. Stock-based Compensation

The stock-based compensation expense included in net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $106,000 and $41,000, respectively recognized in general and administrative expenses.

As of March 31, 2023, there was $509,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

Note 18. Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. Trade receivables of the Company and its subsidiaries are mainly derived from sales to customers located primarily in the U.S., Europe and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those amounts that the Company have determined to be doubtful of collection.

The following table provides the percentage of total revenues attributable to a single customer from which 10% or more of total revenues are derived:


	Three Months Ended					Three Months Ended
Segment	March 31, 2023		% of Total Revenue			March 31, 2022		% of Total Revenue
Customer A	$	2,068		24	%	$	2,505		35	%
Customer B	$	1,052		12	%	$	—		—	%
Customer C	$	872		10	%	$	760		10.0	%

Note 19. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (excluding outstanding stock options). Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the potential effect of dilutive securities which are convertible into common shares (using the treasury stock method), except in cases in which the effect would be anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share:


(In thousands except share data)	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2023			March 31, 2022
Numerator
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(2,464	)	$	(497	)
Denominator
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		5,932			2,920
Effect of dilutive securities		—			—
Diluted weighted-average shares		5,932			2,920

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(0.42	)	$	(0.17	)

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, because the Company was in a loss position, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of the potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that are not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation above because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods indicated:


Anti-dilutive securities	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022
Common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options		789		500
Common shares issuable on conversion of series F preferred stock		3,960		3,960
Common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants		6,833		—
Restricted stock awards		250		250
Common shares issuable upon conversion of senior secured convertible notes		27,590		—
Total		39,422		4,710

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for losses related to litigation when a potential loss is probable, and the loss can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was not party to any material legal proceedings for which a loss was probable or an amount was accrued.

As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, Enertec’s guarantees balance from Hapoalim bank was $3.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively for project implementation fees which are released upon delivery of the project products to the customer.

Note 21. Segment Information

The Company has three reportable segments as of March 31, 2023. Prior to the Acquisition, GWW operated as two operating segments but aggregated its results into one reportable segment based on similarity in economic characteristics, other qualitative factors and the objectives and principals of Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting.

The following data presents the revenues, expenditures and other operating data of the Company’s operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (In thousands):

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

On September 8, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Gresham from Ault in exchange for 2,920,085 shares of the Company’s common stock and 514.8 shares of Series F that are convertible into an aggregate of 3,960,043 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also assumed Gresham’s outstanding equity awards representing the right to receive up to 749,626 shares of the Company’s common stock, on an as-converted basis.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Gresham being the accounting acquirer and the Company being the acquired company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements represent the accounts of Gresham and its subsidiaries. The shares and net loss per common share prior to the business combination have been retroactively restated reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.

The Company manufactures specialized electronic equipment for use in military test and airborne operational applications. Our operations consist of three business segments, the “Precision Electronic Solutions” group, the “Power Electronics & Displays” group, and the “RF Solutions” group. The RF Solutions group consists of Microphase located in Connecticut. The group designs and manufactures custom microwave products for military applications in the air, on land and at sea and generates revenue mostly through sole-source production contracts for custom engineered components and RADAR filters. Microphase produces fixed filters for the F-35 aircraft, shipboard applications and jammer systems to counter improvised explosive devices on land and produces log-video amplifiers for European military aircraft as well as for the U.S. Air Force B1B bomber. The engineering of each RF device variant is typically funded by governments through the respective US or European prime contractors.

The Power Electronics & Displays group consists of two subsidiaries, namely Gresham Power and Relec located in the United Kingdom which primarily produce, market and sell power conversion systems. The Precision Electronic Solutions group consists of Enertec located in Israel and the Giga-tronics Division located in California and New Hampshire primarily producing systems and providing services for the defense and health industries.

Microsource, which is part of the Precision Electronic Solutions group, develops and manufactures sophisticated RADAR filters used in fighter aircraft. Microsource’s primary business is the production of Ytrium-Iron-Garnet (“YIG”) based microwave components designed for a specific customer’s intended operational application. Microsource produces a line of tunable, synthesized band reject filters for solving interference problems in RADAR/EW applications as well as low noise oscillators used on shipboard and land-based self-protection systems. Microsource designs components based upon the Company’s proprietary YIG technology, for each customer’s unique requirement, generally at the customer’s expense. The Giga-tronics Division including Microsource recently executed a Reduction in Force (”RIF”) due to its low backlog and near term revenue forecasts.

COVID-19 Impact

The Company’s businesses were materially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2022, Israel experienced a fifth wave of COVID-19 with the Omicron variant. Many of Enertec’s workers became ill and/or worked from home. Despite this disruption, it did not materially impact Enertec’s operations. In February 2023, many workers of the Microsource subsidiary became infected with COVID-19, and the Dublin facility had to shut down for a week.

Gresham Worldwide also incurred expenses related to implementing the workplace safety protocols and adjusting remote working arrangements. Most of our non-production employees currently work remotely. However, not all employees are as efficient working remotely and its business may be adversely affected as the result. Additionally, certain employees at Gresham’s production facilities must continue to work on site to continue manufacture for essential government programs.

Further, Gresham Worldwide experienced an increase in the average length of sales cycles to onboard new customers and delays in new projects, which could materially adversely impact its business, results of operations, and financial condition in future periods. While people continue to be infected with COVID-19, the serious illnesses and deaths have diminished. Because of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we cannot be certain whether COVID-19 will adversely affect us in the future.

Recent Trends and Uncertainties

We are in the process of aggressively managing our cash flow and reducing our expenses. As part of this endeavor, in January-February 2023 we implemented a RIF of approximately $1.7 million over the next 12 months. We believe that the RIF will not affect our production capabilities, nor will it affect our accounting capabilities.

In the past, Ault has allocated certain overhead charges to us. As of December 31, 2022, Ault allocated $1,090,000 of its overhead to us comprised of $230,000 for officer salaries, $90,000 director and officers’ insurance, $630,000 in audit fees and $140,000 in administrative costs. After the Business Combination, we expect to achieve a non-cash savings of approximately $1.1 million per year, as Ault will no longer allocate such

expenses. However, this non-cash savings will be partially offset by cash expenses that we will now incur in 2023 for audit fees. We estimate such cash expenditures to be $550,000 in 2023.

The Company filed an S-1 Registration Statement on February 13, 2023 to allow Ault to spin-off its GIGA equity to its shareholders.

Please refer to the section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no material changes to these policies, other than as disclosed in Note 3. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. While we believe that these accounting policies and estimates are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates and forecasts.

*Bookings represent new orders received in the quarter

New orders booked in the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by 43% to $5.3 million from $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Bookings for the Precision Electronic Solutions group decreased by 32% to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Precision Electronic Solutions group receives the majority of its business from a large defense contractor with orders fluctuating from quarter to quarter. The Power Electronics & Displays group experienced a 47% decline in bookings to $1.8 million primarily due to a decrease in defense orders which fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and the RF solutions group experienced a decline in bookings in the three months ended March 31, 2023 of 57% to $833,000. The Company received a large order of $1.5 million from a prime contractor in the first quarter of 2022, which did not repeat in the first quarter of 2023.

Revenue

The allocation of net revenue was as follows for the periods shown (In thousands):


	Three Months Ended
Segment	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022		$ Change		% Change
Precision Electronic Solutions	$	3,941	$	3,254	$	686		21	%
Power Electronics & Displays		2,991		2,479	$	512		21	%
RF Solutions		1,791		1,511		281		19	%
Total	$	8,723	$	7,244	$	1,479		20	%

The Precision Electronic Solutions group generated net revenue of $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 21% increase from the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the addition of $430,000 of GIGA revenue which was not included in the first quarter of 2022. The Power Electronics & Displays group increased revenue by 21% to $3.0 million primarily due to a 51% increase in shipments by Gresham Power caused by the completion of a large fixed price contract. The RF solutions group increased revenue by 19% to $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due to improvements in the supply chain.

Cost of revenue and gross profit were as follows for the periods shown (In thousands):


	Three Months Ended					Three Months Ended
Segment	March 31, 2023		% of Segment Revenue			March 31, 2022		% of Segment Revenue
Precision Electronic Solutions	$	3,210		81	%	$	2,316		71	%
Power Electronics & Displays		2,111		71	%		1,593		64	%
RF Solutions		1,239		69	%		842		56	%

.
Gross profit	$	2,163		25	%	$	2,493		34	%

Gross profits for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $330,000 to $2.2 million from $2.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of revenue as a percentage of segment revenue increased by 10% for the Precision Electronic Solutions group due to low revenues of the Giga-tronics group and the associated absorption of manufacturing overhead expenses. The gross margins of the Power Electronics & Displays group decreased by 7% due to overruns upon completion of a fixed price contract resulting in a 5% gross margin. The RF solutions group recognized a 13% increase in its cost of revenues as a percentage of segment revenue primarily due to a $230,000 inventory obsolescence charge.

Operating expenses were as follows for the periods shown (In thousands):


	Three Months Ended
Category	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022		$ Change		% Change
Research and development	$	723	$	489	$	234		48	%

Total	$	5,954	$	2,984	$	2,970		100	%

Total operating expenses increased 94% or $2.8 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 as compared with the first quarter of 2022. Research and development expenses increased by $234,000 due to the business combination of GWW with GIGA. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 103% primarily due the issuance cost of $1.2 million of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants (see Note 13. Senior Secured Notes (4) and Warrants), as well as the added general and administrative cost of GIGA in the first quarter of 2023 which was not incurred in the first quarter of 2022, as well as the addition of approximate $400,000 for legal and audit expenses.

Other income (expenses), net were as follows for the periods shown (In thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest expense increased by $146,000 primarily due to increased borrowing and higher interest rates. The Company performed a fair value analysis of its debts and warrant liability as of March 31, 2023 and recognized a non-cash gain of $566,000 for related party notes and $939,000 for the senior secured convertible note issued on January 11 (see Note 13. Senior Secured Convertible Notes (4) and Warrants).

The $2.0 million increase in losses was primarily due to the combination of lower gross margins and higher operating expenses as described above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A Non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (”SEC”) as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that includes or excludes amounts from the most directly comparable measure under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures.

We measure our operating performance in part based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We also measure our operating performance based on “Adjusted EBITDA,” which we define as EBITDA adjusted for net other income or expense items, share based compensation and certain one-time income or expense items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are commonly used, but neither is a recognized accounting term under GAAP. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, and to plan and evaluate our operating budgets. We believe that our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to the investing public regarding our operating performance and our ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but as a supplement to, income or loss from operations, net income or loss, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In the following reconciliation, we provide amounts as reflected in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise noted.

The reconciliation of our Net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (In thousands):

.
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		2,195			1,599
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	2,504		$	897

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the three month ended March 31, 2023, cash used in the operating activities was $2.7 million as compared to $424,000 for the three month ended March 31, 2022. The primary use of cash was to finance net losses.

We expect that cash flows from operating activities will fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors including our level of revenue, which fluctuates significantly from one period to another primarily due to the timing of receipt of contracts, operating results, amounts of non-cash charges, and the timing of our inventory purchases, billings, collections and disbursements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was $27,000 which was due to the purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the three months period ended March 31, 2022 was $129,000 which was primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was $2.9 million which was primarily due to $2.7 million proceeds from issuance of senior secured convertible notes and $0.3 million proceeds from receivable, related party offset by $0.1 million payment on notes payable. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months period ended March 31, 2022 was $470,000 which was due to the capital contributions from Ault.

Liquidity


	As of
Category (In thousands)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash	$	2,504	$	2,195
Total current assets	$	20,225	$	19,738
Total current liabilities	$	15,798	$	14,031
Working Capital	$	4,427	$	5,707

Our primary sources of liquidity has historically been funded by Ault and in January 2023 by two other lenders who lent the Company $3.3 million. We expect Ault will cease funding the Company in the near future.

Without the availability of working capital from Ault, unless we are successful in securing additional financing from third parties, we believe that we will not have sufficient cash to meet our needs over the next 12 months as well as Ault’s position as a secured creditor. Our ability to obtain additional financing is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance and investor and lender sentiment with respect to us and our industry. If we are unable to raise additional financing in the near term as needed, our operations and production plans may be scaled back or curtailed and our operations and growth would be impeded.

Our near term fixed commitments for cash expenditures are primarily for payments for employee salaries, operating leases and inventory purchase commitments. Due to the deterioration of the Giga-tronics Division including its Microsource subsidiary, we have lacked sufficient capital to pay our payables. To assist with our liquidity issues, our executive officers have agreed to accept the minimum wage of $1,240 per week and to defer their remaining salaries for a single pay period. We also recently borrowed a total of $100,000 from our Chief Financial Officer and from a director. As a result of our liquidity issues, we need to raise approximately $5.0 million to meet our short-term working capital needs, not including the $3.3 million we owe which is due on October 6, 2023. While we are engaged in discussions with Ault and another lender about possible solutions, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in solving our liquidity issues. In addition to risk factors we publicly disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, one of the solutions is based upon our common stock beginning to trade actively. We cannot assure you that will occur.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pursuant to Item 305 of Regulation S-K, the Company, as a smaller reporting company, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon our evaluation, each of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q due to the material weaknesses as described herein.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following material weaknesses:

•

The Company does not have sufficient resources in its accounting function, which restricts its ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner.

•

Due to its size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transaction should be performed by separate individuals.

•

Our primary user access controls (i.e., provisioning, de-provisioning, privileged access and user access reviews) to ensure appropriate authorization and segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to appropriate personnel were not designed and/or implemented effectively. We did not design and/or implement sufficient controls for program change management to certain financially relevant systems affecting our processes.

•

Management concluded that a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting existed relating to the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly account for such instruments constituted a material weakness.

Planned Remediation

Management continues to work to improve its controls related to our material weaknesses, specifically relating to user access and change management surrounding our information technology systems and applications. Management will continue to implement measures to remediate material weaknesses, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) enhancing design and documentation related to both user access and change management processes and control activities; and (ii) developing and communicating additional policies and procedures to govern the area of information technology change management.

We are implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate material weaknesses, including the following:


	·	Formalizing our internal control documentation and strengthening supervisory reviews by our management; and


	·	When there are business operations and cash to justify the additional expenses, adding additional accounting personnel and segregating duties amongst accounting personnel.

We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. These material weaknesses will not be considered to be remediated until the applicable remediated controls are operating for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Despite the existence of these material weaknesses, we believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as detailed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
