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 factors in the Risk Factors 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. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Business

Giga-tronics Incorporated (“GIGA”), doing business as Gresham Worldwide, Inc., now known as Gresham Holdings, Inc. (“GWW”}, through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), designs, manufactures and distributes purpose-built 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 applications in the medical, industrial and telecommunications markets.

GIGA has two subsidiaries Microsource Inc. (“Microsource”) and GWW. GIGA is a majority owned subsidiary of AAI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AAI”) and currently operates as an operating segment of AAI. 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 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 legacy Giga-tronics business. The legacy business of Giga-tronics consists of (i) Microsource, a wholly-owned subsidiary which develops and manufactures sophisticated RADAR filters used in fighter aircraft, and “EW Test and Training”, which serves the defense electronics market with a signal generation platform used in the evaluation of military RADAR/EW systems and training personnel to recognize radio frequency threat signal profiles. We refer to this later business as our “Giga-tronics Division”.

 

 

Note 2. Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.1 million, working capital of $1.2 million, a history of net operating losses and cash outflows from operations. The Company has financed its operations principally through issuances of convertible debt, promissory notes and equity securities. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

In making this assessment management performed a comprehensive analysis of the Company’s current circumstances, including its financial position, cash flow and cash usage forecasts, as well as obligations and debts. Although management believes in its ability to raise capital, the analysis used to determine the Company’s ability as a going concern does not include cash sources beyond the Company’s direct control that management expects to be available within the next 12 months.

Management expects that the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023, will not be sufficient to enable the Company to fund its anticipated level of operations through one year from the date these financial statements are issued. Management anticipates raising additional capital through the private and public sales of the Company’s equity or debt securities or a combination thereof. Although management believes that such capital sources will be available, there can be no assurances that financing will be available to the Company when needed to allow the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company does not raise sufficient capital in a timely manner, among other things, the Company may be forced to scale back its operations or cease operations altogether.

 

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 (“GAAP”) in the United States (”US”). 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

9


 

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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

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 Business Combination include the assets and liabilities and operations of GIGA and its subsidiaries from September 8, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) of the Business Combination. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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 instruments 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.

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 AAI and Ault Lending, pursuant to a Subordination Agreement entered into in connection with the SPA.

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

13


 

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.

The Notes matured on October 11, 2023 and were exchanged for New Notes as described in Note 22. Subsequent Events.

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.

The Company ascribed the following probabilities to five possible scenarios:

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. On October 11, 2023, GIGA was required to double these Warrants since the Uplist Transaction did not occur by that date (see Note 22. Subsequent Events).

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

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 18. 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):

For the three month periods ended September 30, 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.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

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 development and production contracts for RF filters, detectors, amplifiers and other purpose-built components. 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 US Air Force B1B bomber. The engineering of each RF device variant is typically funded to meet military specifications 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 industry and for Enertec, also the health care industry.

Microsource, which is part of the Precision Electronic Solutions group, develops and manufactures sophisticated RADAR filters used in fighter aircraft and radar-controlled weapons systems. 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.

Recent Trends and Uncertainties

As a result of our cost cutting measures enacted earlier this year, efforts of the new management of GWW as well as the receipt of new orders, we believe we have turned the corner during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. We expect our operating results for the fourth quarter will be improved. 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 reduction in force (“RIF”) which is expected to save 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.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.1 million in cash mostly in foreign countries. As a result, we have struggled to meet our payroll. Unless we are successful in securing additional financing from third parties, we believe that we will not have sufficient cash to pay the Notes, meet our working capital needs over the next 12 months and pay AAI for an amount owed of $11.1 million plus interest, which is due on January 15, 2025. 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. We cannot assure you we will be able to pay the Notes, have sufficient working capital or repay AAI.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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 nine months ended September 30, 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.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2023 revenue increased by 33% to $10.4 million from $7.8 million in the prior year period. The Precision Electronic Solutions group generated net revenue of $5.3 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2023, a 46% increase from the three month period ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased deliveries of precision medical equipment and due an increase of $1.2 million of filter revenue at Microsource. The legacy Giga-tronics business contributed 26% and 24% of the Precision Electronic solution revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Power Electronics & Displays group experienced a decrease of 4% in revenue to $2.5 million primarily due to lower shipments by Gresham Power. The RF solutions group increased revenue by 67% to $2.6 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to improvements in the supply chain.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 revenue increased by 29% to $27.9 million from $21.5 million in the prior year period. Revenue increased 34% for the Precision Electronic Solutions group primarily due to increased deliveries of precision medical equipment and the addition of $1.1 million of Giga-tronics legacy revenue. The legacy Giga-tronics business contributed 19% and 9% of the Precision Electronic solution revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue increased 10% for the Power Electronics & Displays group during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 to $7.9 million from $7.2 million in the prior year period. The growth was primarily due to Relec fulfilling several large orders. The RF solutions group increased revenue by 52% from $4.3 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 to $ 6.5 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023. Improved supply chain deliveries and a new major filter production contract are the primary reasons for the increase in revenue.

*Bookings represent new orders received in the quarter

 

New orders booked in the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 86% to $15.5 million from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Bookings for the Precision Electronic Solutions group increased by 90% to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $3.1 million in bookings was primarily

22


 

due to the Giga-tronics legacy business which generated only $14,000 of bookings after the Business Combination on September 8, 2022, but delivered $2.6 million in bookings in the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Power Electronics & Displays group experienced a 47% decline in bookings to $2.0 million during the first three months period ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease of $1.7 million in defense orders at Relec which benefited from the supply chain issues in 2022 causing customers to stock inventory in 2022 which are being depleted in 2023. The RF solutions group experienced a sixfold increase in bookings in the three month period ended September 30, 2023 to $7.0 million. The increase in bookings was primarily due to four large orders for filter products from a prime contractors.

New orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 26% to $30.9 million from $24.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Precision Electronics Solutions group achieved a 58% increase in bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the Business Combination as well as a 21% increase in defense bookings at Enertec. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, bookings of the Power Electronics & Displays group declined by 45% to $5.9 million primarily due to a decrease of $4.8 million in bookings as a result of the supply chain issues as explained above, as well as the fact that in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 Gresham Power benefited from the reopening of shipyards after the COVID-19 crisis and the revival of the Royal Navy shipbuilding programs. The RF Solutions group increased bookings by 123% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, which was due to the large orders received in the September quarter as described above.

Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2023 increased by 30% to $3.1 million from $2.3 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2022. Cost of revenue as a percentage of segment revenue improved by 2% for the Precision Electronic Solutions group due to increased revenues of the Giga-tronics legacy business. The cost of revenue of the Power Electronics & Displays group increased by 7%

23


 

to 67% due to the lower shipments at Gresham Power. The cost of revenue for the RF solutions group improved by 9% to 65% of its revenue as compared to 74% in the prior year period primarily due to lower material costs and higher volume of shipments.

 

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 gross profit increased by $1.2 million over the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. Cost of revenue as a percentage of segment revenue increased by 6% for the Precision Electronic Solutions group primarily due to a decline in revenues of the Giga-tronics legacy business while its direct costs did not decline by as much. The cost of revenue for the Power Electronics & Displays group increased by 3% due to the completion of a large government contract in the first quarter 2023 which incurred major overrun charges. The RF solutions group recognized an 8% decrease in its cost of revenues as a percentage of segment revenue primarily due to lower material costs.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, net losses available to common stockholders increased by $4.2 million over the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses of $3.8 million as a result of the issuance cost of $1.2 million of the Notes and Warrants (see Note 12. Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants), as well as the added general and administrative costs of GIGA in nine month period ended September 30, 2023 which were not incurred in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022,

 

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 Flows from Operating Activities

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, cash used in the operating activities was $5.1 million as compared to $1.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. The primary use of cash was to fund operations.

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, our 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2023 was $211,000 which was due to the purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 was $4.2 million which was primarily due to the Business Combination.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 was $4.9 million which was primarily due to $2.7 million proceeds from issuance of senior secured convertible notes and $1.2 million proceeds from note receivable, related party.

Our primary sources of liquidity have historically been funded by AAI and in January 2023 by two other lenders who lent the Company $3 million in exchange for $3.3 million of Notes.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has approximately $2.1 million in cash mostly in foreign countries. As a result, we have struggled to meet our payroll. Unless we are successful in securing additional financing from third parties, we believe that we will not have sufficient cash to pay the Notes, meet our working capital needs over the next 12 months and pay AAI for the principal amount owed of approximately $11.1 million and accrued interest thereon, which is due in January 2025 (not including the $774,000 due under the New Ault Note including interest). As a result of our liquidity issues, we need to raise approximately $3.0 million to meet our short-term working capital needs, not including the $4.0 million we owe on the Notes which are due on October 11, 2024. While the growth in our business as evidenced by our bookings and recent order in this quarter as well as positive cash flow from operations in the most recent quarter is encouraging, our working capital remains tight. 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. We cannot assure you we will be able to pay the Notes, have sufficient working capital or repay AAI.

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. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in solving our liquidity issues.

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 4CONTROLS 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 as defined in the SEC regulations. Specifically, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of September 30, 2023.

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.

29


 

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 September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

II - OTHER INFORMATION

As of September 30, 2023, the Company has no material pending legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 1ARISK FACTORS

 

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and our Form S-1, as amended.

Risks Related to the Israeli War

 

Because we have a material subsidiary that operates in Israel, the war which began October 7, 2023 may have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition.

Enertec, a subsidiary of the Company, is an Israeli corporation which has its offices and engineering and assembly facility located in Karmiel, Israel, which is approximately 30 kilometers from the border with Lebanon. Enertec is a material subsidiary and through September 30, 2023, approximately 39% of the Company’s revenues were derived from Enertec.

The war in Israel poses significant risks to Enertec including:

If Hezbollah enters the war or launches rockets into Israel, it could destroy Enertec’s facility. Enertec has no alternative facility and the cost of locating a new facility and equipping it would effectively cause it to cease operations for at least 6 months.
Although most of Enertec’s management and engineering and other staff are too old to serve in the military, any war-related injuries to them could result in a material adverse effect on Enertec’s operations;
Even if Enertec is not materially damaged by rockets, Israel has a system of bomb shelters designed to protect its citizens. To the extent Enertec’s employees are required to enter bomb shelters, it will create a material distraction and affect its ability to deliver products.
A prolonged war causing injuries and deaths in Israel could divert Enertec’s staff from their duties to Enertec. Further some employees have had family members killed to date and future deaths and injuries could adversely affect employees’ efforts.

If the war continues, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
