------------
Lynch Systems, Inc.......................... 100.0%
M-tron Industries, Inc...................... 100.0%
M-tron Industries, Ltd.................... 100.0%
Piezo Technology, Inc..................... 100.0%
Piezo Technology India Private Ltd..... 99.9%
On June 19, 2007, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement dated May 17,
2007 and Second Amendment to the Purchase Agreement, dated May 31, 2007, (the
"Purchase Agreement") by and between Lynch Systems Inc. ("Lynch Systems") and
Olivotto Glass Technologies S.p.A. ("Olivotto"), Lynch Systems completed the
sale of certain of its assets to Lynch Technologies, LLC (the "Buyer"), the
assignee of Olivotto's rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
The assets sold under the Purchase Agreement, as amended, included certain
accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment. The Buyer also assumed
certain liabilities of Lynch Systems, including accounts payable, customer
deposits and accrued warranties. After deduction of the amount of the
liabilities assumed, $601,074, from the value of the assets sold, $1,455,000,
and taking into account the Buyer's partial funding of the severance obligation,
$118,000, Lynch Systems was due a net cash payment in the amount of $972,000. Of
such amount, $722,000 was paid upon closing and the $250,000 balance, which was
escrowed was paid on October 3rd in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The
assets retained by Lynch Systems include the land and building used in its
operations with a book value of $1,502,000 and accounts receivable with net book
value of $ 0. All of the accounts receivable for which specific reserves have
not been established have been collected as of September 30, 2007. The Company
intends to sell the land and building in a separate transaction following the
expiration of the six-month lease of the premises to the Buyer.
At September 30, 2007, the LGL Group, Inc. (the "Company") operates
through its principal subsidiary, M-tron Industries, Inc. which includes the
operations of M-tron Industries, Ltd. ("Mtron") and Piezo Technology, Inc.

B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and nine month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2007.
The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and has been reclassified to present the
operations of Lynch Systems as discontinued operations.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006.
6
C. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As a result of the sale of Lynch Systems, certain reclassifications of
assets, liabilities, revenues, costs, and expenses have been made to the prior
period financial statements to conform to the 2007 financial statement
presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified the results of operations of
Lynch Systems for all periods presented to DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS within the
Statement of Operations. In addition, the remaining assets and liabilities of
the business divested and the assets of the divested business held for separate
sale in 2007 have been reclassified to ASSETS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS and
LIABILITIES OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS and ASSETS HELD FOR SALE.
D. ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards
Interpretation No. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES -- AN
INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109 (the "Interpretation," or "FIN 48"),
which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition and
measurement method for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation
also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Interpretation is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have adopted
the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 accordingly. In accordance
with FIN 48, the Company will recognize any interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Based on a review of our tax provisions, the Company did not record a
liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of adopting FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007. Further, there has been no change during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Accordingly, we have not accrued any interest and penalties
through the period ending September 30, 2007.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state
and Hong Kong jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to
income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state and Hong Kong tax authorities for
years before 2001.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS"
("SFAS 157"). This statement replaces multiple existing definitions of fair
value with a single definition, establishes a consistent framework for measuring
fair value, and expands financial statement disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. This statement applies only to fair value measurements that are
already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not require
any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning subsequent to November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt this Statement
in the first quarter of 2008, and is currently evaluating the impact on its
financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES-INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB
STATEMENT NO. 115 ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to irrevocably
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. For any eligible items that exist at the effective date for which an
entity chooses to elect the fair value option, the effect of the first
measurement to fair value shall be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to
the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact that this pronouncement may have on its results of
operations and financial condition.

MtronPTI maintains its own short-term line of credit facilities. In
general, the credit facilities are collateralized by property, plant and
equipment, inventory, receivables and contain certain covenants restricting
distributions to the Company. At September 30, 2007, Mtron's short-term credit
facility with First National Bank of Omaha ("FNBO") is $5,500,000.
On September 30, 2005, MtronPTI entered into a Loan Agreement with RBC
Centura Bank ("RBC"). The RBC Term Loan Agreement provided for a loan in the
amount of $3,040,000 (the "RBC Term Loan"), the proceeds of which were used to
pay off the $3,000,000 bridge loan with First National Bank of Omaha which had
been due October 2005. The RBC Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR Base Rate plus
2.75% and is to be repaid in monthly installments based on a twenty year
amortization, with the then remaining principal balance to be paid on the fifth
anniversary of the RBC Term Loan. The balance of this loan at September 30, 2007
is $2,912,000. The RBC Term Loan is collateralized by a mortgage on PTI's
premises.
In connection with this RBC Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a five-year
interest rate swap from which it will receive periodic payments at the LIBOR
Base Rate and make periodic payments at a fixed rate of 7.51% with monthly
settlement and rate reset dates. The Company has designated this swap as a cash
flow hedge in accordance with FASB 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The fair value of the interest rate swap at September
30, 2007 is ($6,000), ($4,000) net of tax, compared with $22,000, $14,000 net of
tax, at December 31, 2006. It is included in "other assets" on the balance
sheet. The aggregate fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income/(loss), net of tax.
All outstanding obligations under the RBC Term Loan Agreement are
collateralized by security interests in the assets of MtronPTI. The Loan
Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants of types
customary in an asset-based lending facility. The Loan Agreement also contains
financial covenants relating to maintenance of levels of minimal tangible net
worth and working capital, and current, leverage and fixed charge ratios,
restricting the amount of capital expenditures. At September 30, 2007, MtronPTI
was not in compliance with the fixed charge covenant on this loan and a waiver
letter has been received from RBC.

On October 14, 2004, MtronPTI, entered into a Loan Agreement with First
National Bank of Omaha for a term loan in the amount of $2,000,000 (the "Term
Loan"). The Term Loan bore interest at the greater of prime rate plus 50 basis
points, or 4.5%, and was repaid in monthly installments of $37,514, with the
then remaining principal balance plus accrued interest to be paid on the third
anniversary of the Loan Agreement, October 2007. This loan was renegotiated on
September 7, 2007. The principal balance was increased by $443,000 to $1,500,000
and the variable interest rate is the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 2.1% (7.92% at
September 30, 2007). The balance of this loan at September 30, 2007, is
$1,473,000 At September 30, 2007, MtronPTI was not in compliance with the fixed
charge covenant on this loan and a waiver letter has been received from First
National Bank of Omaha.
The Smythe Estate Promissory Note was repaid in the first quarter of 2007.
The debt decreased at MtronPTI due to a reduction in the outstanding
revolving debt and the scheduled repayments and retirements of long term debt.
The current portion of long term debt decreased due to the September 7, 2007
renegotiation of the term loan with First National Bank of Omaha. Notes payable
and long-term debt outstanding at September, 30, 2007 included $3,360,000 of
fixed rate debt at an average interest rate of 7.0% (after considering the
effect of the interest rate swap) and variable rate debt of $2,342, 000 at an
average rate of 7.92%. Long-term notes and debt outstanding at December 31,
2006, included $3,601,000 of fixed rate debt at an average interest rate of
6.91% after considering the effect of the interest rate swap) and variable rate
debt of $2,882,000 at an average rate of 8.45%.
I. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123R, "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires all share based payments issued to be
recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of
estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense related to stock based compensation
is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting
period.
On September 5, 2006, the Company issued 20,000 shares of restricted stock
to two senior executives and on March 20, 2007, the Company issued 10,000 shares
of restricted stock to its new Chief Financial Officer. Fifty percent of these
shares will become vested after one year and the remainder, quarterly during
year two. These are being accounted for under SFAS 123R. Total stock
compensation expense recognized by the Company for these shares for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007 was $30,000 and for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, was $79,000. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense of $75,600
associated with the September 2006 grant will be recognized ratably over the
next 11 months and the remaining $56,800 associated with the March 20, 2007
grant will be recognized ratably over the next 17 2/3 months.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No.
128, "EARNINGS PER SHARE". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings
per share for the effects of stock options, restricted common stock, and other
potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the
effects are dilutive.
The following securities have been excluded from the diluted earnings per
share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options
would have been anti-dilutive as the strike price of the options were at least
$13.17 and the stock was trading at $10.20 per share on Friday, September 28,
2007. At September 30, 2007, there were 200,000 options outstanding to purchase
common stock. At September 30, 2006 there were 295,000 options outstanding. The
reduction in outstanding options was due to the expiration of 75,000 options 90
days following the December 2006 separation of the former CEO and the expiration
of 20,000 options following the October 2006 separation of the former VP of
Finance. The Company has no other dilutive securities.

J. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total comprehensive loss was
$3,775,000, comprised of net loss of $1,965,000 and change in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income of $1,810,000, compared to total comprehensive income of
$2,537,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which was comprised of
net income of $1,768,000 and change in Other Comprehensive Income of $769,000.

The December 31, 2006 comparative condensed consolidated balance sheet was
reclassified to reduce other comprehensive income and accumulated deficit by
$172,000 reflecting the cumulative effect of deferred translation gains since
the Indian subsidiary was acquired in October 2004. The reclassification was the
result of considering the Indian Rupee instead of the U.S. dollar as the
functional currency and deferring the foreign currency translation gains in
other comprehensive income which should have been credited to operations. The
deferred gain was $83,000 in 2006, $75,000 in 2005, and $14,000 in 2004. The
improvement to earnings per share would have been $0.04 in 2006, $0.05 in 2005
and $0.01 in 2004. The adjustment did not change shareholders' equity as of
December 31, 2006. Additionally, management has determined that a presentation
error had occurred in LGL Group's financial statements previously filed for
December 31, 2006 and the quarters ended March 31, 2007, September 30, 2006, and
June 30, 2006. The impact in 2007 was $39,000 expense and a balance sheet
reclassification of $205,000 in other comprehensive income offset by a $244,000
adjustment to accounts receivable.
K. SIGNIFICANT FOREIGN SALES
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30,

L. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the net loss from discontinued
operations was $153,000 compared with a net loss of $277,000 from the
discontinued operations of Lynch Systems for the third quarter of 2006. For the
nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the revenues from discontinued
operations were $2,534,000 and the loss from discontinued operations was
$1,131,000 compared with revenues of $6,911,000 and $786,000 loss from
discontinued operations for the same period in 2006. The 2007 losses do not
include tax benefits because the company can not assume future profits to use
these benefits according to current accounting standards.
M. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, subsidiaries of the Company may be
defendants in certain product liability, worker claims and other litigation in
which the amounts being sought may exceed insurance coverage levels. The Company
has no pending litigation at this time.
N. INCOME TAXES
The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns, which includes
all U.S. subsidiaries. The Company has a $2,836,000 net operating loss ("NOL")
carry-forward as of December 31, 2006. This NOL expires through 2026 if not
utilized prior to that date. The company provided $134,000 for foreign income
taxes and $ 0 for state taxes in the nine month period, an effective tax rate of
48 percent. This increase in the effective tax rate is due to the increase in
profits of the Hong Kong operations
O. GUARANTEES
At September 30, 2007, the Company guarantees (unsecured) the RBC Century
bank loan of MtronPTI. There were no other financial, performance, indirect
guarantees or indemnification agreements at September 30, 2007.
P. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At September 30, 2007, the Company had $5,408,000 of cash and cash
equivalents. Of this amount, $1,083,000 is invested in United States Treasury
money market funds for which affiliates of the Company serve as investment
managers to the respective funds, compared with $2,040,000 of $4,429,000 at
December 31, 2006.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2006
CONSOLIDATED REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN
Consolidated revenues decreased by $1,430,000, or 13%, to $9,612,000 for the
third quarter 2007 from $11,042,000 for the comparable period in 2006. The
decrease is due to business declines at three of the Company's largest customers
in the telecom and military/avionics markets. The decreases were due to a
combination of reduced business levels and selling price reductions. The Company
also discontinued sales to its second largest distributor due to the
distributor's bankruptcy. The distributor has emerged from bankruptcy, but the
Company has been unable to reach a suitable agreement to resume business with
this distributor.
Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the third quarter
decreased to 23.5% from 27.4% for the comparable period in 2006. The reduction
in gross margin reflects selling price reductions, increases in material costs
and the continuing yield losses and rework costs at MtronPTI's Orlando facility.
These problems were compounded in the current quarter by lowered revenue so the
operations overhead also increased as a percentage of revenue.
12
OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
The operating loss of $283,000 for the third quarter 2007 is a reduction of
$629,000 from $346,000 operating profit for the comparable period in 2006. This
decline was caused by a $766,000 (25%) reduction in gross margin caused
primarily by lower sales volume and higher material and yield loss costs in
Orlando. Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter were reduced
by $137,000 from $2,682,000 in 2006 to $2,545,000 in 2007. This was due
primarily to reductions in commissions, incentives and bonus accruals. Corporate
expenses increased $18,000 to $422,000 for the third quarter 2007 from $404,000
for the comparable period in 2006.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES)
Investment income decreased $720,000 to $0 for the third quarter 2007. This was
due to the first quarter sale of substantially all of the marketable securities
which were held for sale. Interest expense for the third quarter 2007 was
$79,000, compared with $127,000 in the comparable period in 2006 due to higher
cash balances at the corporate level as a result of the liquidation of the
security portfolio at the end of the first quarter of 2007.
INCOME TAXES
The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns, which includes all
subsidiaries. The income tax provision for the three month period ended
September 30, 2007 provides for tax expenses in Hong Kong. Due to the quarterly
operating losses, none of the other jurisdictions in which the Company transacts
business require a quarterly tax provision. The provision gives effect to our
estimated tax liability at the end of the year.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As a result of the sale of Lynch Systems, we have reclassified the results of
operations of Lynch Systems for all periods presented to DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
within the Statement of Operations, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the revenues from discontinued
operations were $0 and the net loss from discontinued operations was $153,000
compared with revenues of $1,996,000 and net loss from the discontinued
operations of $277,000 for the same quarter of 2006.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the third quarter 2007 was $593,000 compared to net income of
$903,000 in the comparable period in 2006. The third quarter 2007 loss was
comprised of a $440,000 loss from continuing operations, and a $153,000 loss
from discontinued operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 2006
CONSOLIDATED REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN
Consolidated revenues for the nine month period ending September 30, 2007
decreased by $2,361,000, or 7.5% to $29,003,000 from $31,364,000 for the
comparable period in 2006. The decrease is due to business declines at three of
the company's largest customers in the telecom and military/avionics markets.
The decreases were due to a combination of reduced business levels and selling
price reductions. The company also discontinued sales to its second largest
distributor due to the distributor's bankruptcy. The distributor has emerged
from bankruptcy, but the Company has been unable to reach a suitable agreement
to resume business with this distributor.
The consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the nine month
period ending September 30, 2007 decreased to 23.3% from 30.3% for the
comparable period in 2006. The reduction in gross margin reflects selling price
reductions, increases in material costs and the continuing yield losses and
rework costs at MtronPTI's Orlando facility. These problems were compounded by
lowered revenue so the operations overhead also increased as a percentage of
revenue.
13
OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
The operating loss of $1,048,000 is a reduction of $2,973,000 from the operating
profit of $1,925,000 for the comparable nine month period ended September 30,
2006. The margin loss was primarily due to lower selling prices and higher
material and rework costs in Orlando combined with the reduction in revenue.
Corporate expenses increased $306,000 to $1,356,000 for the nine month period
ending September 30, 2007, from $1,050,000 in the comparable period in 2006. The
increase was due primarily to increases in legal fees, professional fees and in
total director fees. The closure of the Greenwich office and the consolidation
of the corporate office into the Orlando facility will result in a reduction of
ongoing Corporate expenses. These increases in Corporate expenses were partially
offset by a $149,000 reduction in selling and administrative expenses at
MtronPTI, which was primarily due to reductions in accrued insurance expenses,
commissions, incentives and bonus accruals.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Investment income increased $295,000 to $1,526,000 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2007 from $1,231,000 in the comparable period in 2006 due to
realized gain on sales of marketable securities. Interest expense decreased to
$260,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 from $414,000 for
the comparable period in 2006 due to a decrease in the average level of debt and
higher cash balances at the corporate level due to the liquidation of the
security portfolio at the end of the first quarter of 2007. In the second
quarter of 2007, MtronPTI sold a small strip of land which had a book value of
$83,000, for $171,000, resulting in a gain of $88,000 on the sale.
INCOME TAXES
The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns, which includes all
subsidiaries. The income tax provision for the nine month period ended September
30, 2007 included federal, state and foreign taxes. The company provided
$134,000 for foreign income taxes and $0 for state taxes in the nine month
period, an effective tax rate of 48 percent. This increase in the effective tax
rate is due to the increase in profits of the Hong Kong operations.
LOSS ON SALE OF LYNCH SYSTEMS
The loss on the sale of Lynch Systems was $982,000. These losses arose because
the company disposed of elements of inventory at less than book value, incurred
approximately $181,000 of severance costs above the amount contributed by the
buyer, and incurred approximately $200,000 in legal and professional fees
associated with the sale. No tax benefit was accrued on these losses.
As a consequence of the disposal, the Company operates in a single line of
business, no longer distracted by attempting to turn around a problematic, loss
ridden business in a declining glassware market beset by higher fuel and steel
costs and intense competition.
RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As a result of the sale of Lynch Systems, we have reclassified the results of
operations of Lynch Systems for all periods presented to DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
within the Statement of Operations, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the revenues from
discontinued operations were $2,534,000 and the loss from discontinued
operations was $1,131,000 compared with revenues of $6,911,000 and $786,000 loss
from discontinued operations for the same period in 2006. The additional losses
from discontinued operations are primarily due to commissions, vacation pay and
consulting contracts. There will be only minimal monthly charges which will be
offset by rental income during the balance of 2007.
The losses do not include tax benefits because the company can not assume future
profits to use these benefits.
14
NET INCOME/LOSS
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1,965,000
compared with net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, of
$1,768,000. This loss is comprised of income from continuing operations of
$148,000, loss from discontinued operations of $1,131,000, and a loss on sale of
Lynch Systems of $982,000.
BACKLOG/ NEW ORDERS
MtronPTI's backlog at September 30, 2007 was $10.5 million, a $2.4 million
increase over the backlog at December 31, 2006 of $8.1 million and a $1.6
million increase from the backlog of $8.9 million at September 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable
securities at September 30, 2007 was $5,462,000 as compared to $7,039,000 at
December 31, 2006. MtronPTI had unused borrowing capacity of $4,631,000 under
MtronPTI's revolving lines of credit at September 30, 2007, as compared to
$4,144,000 at December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, MtronPTI had $869,000 in
revolving loans, compared with $1,356,000 at December 31, 2006.
At September 30, 2007, the Company's net working capital was $11,970,000
as compared to $14,214,000 at December 31, 2006 after taking into account the
reclassification of Lynch Systems assets into "Held for Sale" and "Assets or
Liabilities from Discontinued Operations." At September 30, 2007, the Company
had current assets of $18,358,000 and current liabilities of $6,388,000. After
taking into account the reclassification of Lynch Systems assets into "Held for
Sale" and "Assets or Liabilities from Discontinued Operations, at December 31,
2006, the Company had current assets of $25,364,000 and current liabilities of
$11,150,000. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.87 to 1.00
at September 30, 2007, compared to 2.27 to 1.00 at December 31, 2006.
Cash used in operating activities was $186,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,676,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This was due primarily to a
reduction in accounts receivable and inventories which was partially offset by a
decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash used in continuing
operations was $955,000, which was due to operating losses and excludes gains on
the sale of securities.
Cash provided by investing activities was $2,850,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, versus $1,287,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006. The cash from investing activities came primarily from the sale of
securities in March 2007. The proceeds of that sale were $2,292,000. In
addition, the sale of a discontinued operation in June 2007 resulted in $722,000
of cash proceeds. The sale of the discontinued operation produced an additional
$253,000 of cash in October of 2007 due to the collection of all funds held in
escrow plus interest. The sale of the discontinued operation will generate
additional funds in 2008 when the Company sells the Bainbridge, GA land and
building (estimated value $2,453,000 and book value of $1,502,000). This
property is currently under lease to the buyer. This lease expires in December
2007.
Cash used in financing activities was $1,685,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared with $1,134,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006. The use of cash was primarily due to retiring $900,000 of Lynch
Systems debt and other scheduled MtronPTI debt reductions.
At September 30, 2007, total debt of $5,702,000 was $781,000 less than the
total debt at December 31, 2006 of $6,483,000. The debt decreased due to a
reduction in the outstanding revolving debt and the scheduled repayments and
retirements of long term debt. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $801,000
in current maturities of long-term debt compared with $2,027,000 at December 31,
2006. The reduction in current maturities was due to the renegotiation of the
term debt with First National Bank of Omaha. The prior agreement included a
balloon payment which was due in October 2007.
15
The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash
generated from operations, and available borrowings on its revolver will be
sufficient to meet its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the foreseeable future.
MtronPTI maintains its own short-term line of credit facilities. In
general, the credit facilities are collateralized by property, plant and
equipment, inventory, receivables and contain certain covenants restricting
distributions to the Company. At September 30, 2007, Mtron's short-term credit
facility with First National Bank of Omaha ("FNBO") is $5,500,000, under which
there is a revolving credit loan of $ 869,000 compared with $1,356,000 at
December 31, 2006. The Revolving Loan bears variable interest at the 30 day
LIBOR rate plus 2.1% (7.92% at September 30, 2007) and is due on May 31, 2008.
On September 30, 2005, MtronPTI entered into a Loan Agreement with RBC
Centura Bank ("RBC"). The RBC Term Loan Agreement provided for a loan in the
amount of $3,040,000 (the "RBC Term Loan"), the proceeds of which were used to
pay off the $3,000,000 bridge loan with First National Bank of Omaha which had
been due October 2005. The RBC Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR Base Rate plus
2.75% and is to be repaid in monthly installments based on a twenty year
amortization, with the then remaining principal balance to be paid on the fifth
anniversary of the RBC Term Loan. The balance of this loan at September 30, 2007
is $2,912,000. The RBC Term Loan is collateralized by a mortgage on PTI's
premises.
In connection with this RBC Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a five-year
interest rate swap from which it will receive periodic payments at the LIBOR
Base Rate and make periodic payments at a fixed rate of 7.51% with monthly
settlement and rate reset dates. The Company has designated this swap as a cash
flow hedge in accordance with FASB 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The fair value of the interest rate swap at September
30, 2007 is ($6,000), ($4,000) net of tax, compared with $22,000, $14,000 net of
tax, at December 31, 2006. It is included in "other assets" on the balance
sheet. The aggregate fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive
income/(loss), net of tax.
All outstanding obligations under the RBC Term Loan Agreement are
collateralized by security interests in the assets of MtronPTI. The Loan
Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants of types
customary in an asset-based lending facility. The Loan Agreement also contains
financial covenants relating to maintenance of levels of minimal tangible net
worth and working capital, and current, leverage and fixed charge ratios,
restricting the amount of capital expenditures. At September 30, 2007, MtronPTI
was not in compliance with the fixed charge covenant on this loan and a waiver
letter has been received from RBC.
On October 14, 2004, MtronPTI, entered into a Loan Agreement with First
National Bank of Omaha for a term loan in the amount of $2,000,000 (the "Term
Loan"). The Term Loan bore interest at the greater of prime rate plus 50 basis
points, or 4.5%, and was repaid in monthly installments of $37,514, with the
then remaining principal balance plus accrued interest to be paid on the third
anniversary of the Loan Agreement, October 2007. This loan was renegotiated on
September 7, 2007. The principal balance was increased by $443,000 to $1,500,000
and the variable interest rate is the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 2.1% (7.92% at
September 30, 2007). The balance of this loan at September 30, 2007, is
$1,473,000. At September 30, 2007, MtronPTI was not in compliance with the fixed
charge covenant on this loan and a waiver letter has been received from First
National Bank of Omaha.
The Smythe Estate Promissory Note was repaid in the first quarter of 2007.
The debt decreased at MtronPTI due to a reduction in the outstanding
revolving debt and the scheduled repayments and retirements of long term debt.
The current portion of long term debt decreased due to the September 7, 2007
renegotiation of the term loan with First National Bank of Omaha. Notes payable
and long-term debt outstanding at September, 30, 2007 included $3,360,000 of
fixed rate debt at an average interest rate of 7.0% (after considering the
effect of the interest rate swap) and variable rate debt of $2,342,000 at an
average rate of 7.92%. Long-term notes and debt outstanding at December 31,
2006, included $3,601,000 of fixed rate debt at an average interest rate of
6.91% after considering the effect of the interest rate swap) and variable rate
debt of $2,882,000 at an average rate of 8.45%.
16
ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards
Interpretation No. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES -- AN
INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109 (the "Interpretation," or "FIN 48"),
which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition and
measurement method for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation
also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Interpretation is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have adopted
the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 accordingly. In accordance
with FIN 48, the Company will recognize any interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Based on a review of our tax provisions, the Company did not record a
liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of adopting FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007. Further, there has been no change during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Accordingly, we have not accrued any interest and penalties
through the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state
and Hong Kong jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to
income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state and Hong Kong tax authorities for
years before 2001.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS"
("SFAS 157"). This statement replaces multiple existing definitions of fair
value with a single definition, establishes a consistent framework for measuring
fair value, and expands financial statement disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. This statement applies only to fair value measurements that are
already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not require
any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning subsequent to November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt this Statement
in the first quarter of 2008, and is currently evaluating the impact on its
financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES-INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB
STATEMENT NO. 115 ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to irrevocably
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. For any eligible items that exist at the effective date for which an
entity chooses to elect the fair value option, the effect of the first
measurement to fair value shall be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to
the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact that this pronouncement may have on its results of
operations and financial condition.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At September 30, 2007, the Company had $5,408,000 of cash and cash
equivalents. Of this amount, $1,083,000 is invested in United States Treasury
money market funds for which affiliates of the Company serve as investment
managers to the respective funds, compared with $2,040,000 of $4,429,000 at
December 31, 2006.
RISK FACTORS
The Company sells to industries that are subject to cyclical economic
changes. Any downturns in the economic environment would have a financial impact
on the Company and may cause the reported financial information herein not to be
indicative of future operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
17
Future activities and operating results may be adversely affected by a
delay in the recovery of demand for components used by telecommunications
infrastructure manufacturers, disruption of foreign economies and the inability
to renew or obtain new financing for expiring loans.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade
accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are located
throughout the country and the Company's policy is designed to limit exposure to
any one institution. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative
credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the
Company's investment strategy. Other than certain accounts receivable, the
Company does not require collateral on these financial instruments. In relation
to export sales, the Company requires Letters of Credit supporting a significant
portion of the sales price prior to production to limit exposure to credit risk.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level that
management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses.
For a complete list of risk factors, see the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is exposed to market risk relating to changes in the general
level of U.S. interest rates, which affect the amount of interest earned on the
Company's cash/cash equivalents and restricted cash, $5,408,000 at September 30,
2007. Additionally, the Company's earnings and cash flows are affected by
changes in interest rates as the Company makes variable interest rate payments
on its debt. To minimize its interest rate risk, on September 30, 2005, in
connection with its $3,040,000 five-year, LIBOR plus 2.75% RBC Term Loan,
MtronPTI entered into a five-year interest rate swap (the notional amount equals
the loan amount) from which it will receive payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and
make payments at a fixed rate of 7.51%. This is comprised of the fixed pay rate
of the swap of 6.59% plus the .92% differential between the variable rate of the
loan, LIBOR plus 2.75%, and the prime rate. Management does not foresee any
significant changes in the strategies used to manage interest rate risk in the
future, although the strategies may be reevaluated as market conditions dictate.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company's Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of
September 30, 2007. Based on such evaluation, such officers have
concluded that, as of September 30, 2007, (i) the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files and
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including its principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
18
functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure, (ii) the lack of integration in the Company's accounting
systems, which necessitates numerous conversions of data throughout the
month end closing process, combined with the inconsistencies in the chart
of accounts and the turnover of accounting personnel, allowed an
overstatement of accounts receivable and other comprehensive income and
(iii) the Company's financial statement closing process did not identify
all business activity that needed to be recorded as part of the closing
process. In connection with this evaluation, management has determined
that a presentation error had occurred in LGL Group's financial
statements previously filed for December 31, 2006 and the quarters ended
March 31, 2007, September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006, and March 31, 2006.
The impact in 2007 was $39,000 in expense and a balance sheet
reclassification of $205,000 in other comprehensive income offset by a
$244,000 adjustment to accounts receivable.
The December 31, 2006 comparative balance sheet was reclassified in this
document to reduce other comprehensive income and accumulated deficit by
$172,000 reflecting the cumulative effect of deferred translation gains
since the Indian subsidiary was acquired in October 2004. The
reclassification was the result of considering the Indian Rupee instead
of the U.S. dollar as the functional currency and deferring the foreign
currency translation gains in other comprehensive income which should
have been credited to operations. The deferred gain was $83,000 in 2006,
$75,000 in 2005, and $14,000 in 2004. The improvement to earnings per
share would have been $0.04 in 2006, $0.05 in 2005 and $0.01 in 2004. The
adjustment did not change shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2006.
(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. The Company has begun evaluating
remediation steps to enhance its internal control over financial
reporting and reduce control deficiencies. Required changes will include
integration of all accounting and record maintenance, enhancements to
accounting software, formal documentation of accounting policies and
procedures, and the creation of centralized, on-site document control and
maintenance. Additionally, the Company plans to hire personnel with the
appropriate qualifications to effect these changes.
Except as noted above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, there
were no changes which have materially effected or are reasonable likely
to materially effect our internal control over financial reporting.
