Long -Term Debt

$     3,748

On October 14, 2004, MtronPTI, entered into a loan agreement with FNBO (the “FNBO Loan Agreement”).  The FNBO Loan Agreement provides for a short-term credit facility of up to $5,500,000 (the “FNBO Revolving Loan”).  The provisions of the FNBO Revolving Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on June 30, 2008.  The principal balance of the FNBO Revolving Loan currently bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1%, with interest only payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due on June 30, 2009.  At September 30, 2008, the amount outstanding under the revolving credit loan was $2,074,000.  The Company had $3,426,000 of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit at September 30, 2008, compared to $4,465,000 at December 31, 2007.

The FNBO Loan Agreement also provides for a term loan in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “FNBO Term Loan”).  The provisions of the FNBO Term Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on January 24, 2008.  Under such amendment, the original principal amount of the FNBO Term Loan was approximately $1,410,000, and the principal balance bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1%, with principal and interest payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due January 24, 2013.



9




The FNBO Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) tangible net worth of not less than $7,000,000, (ii) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.5 to 1.0; (iii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 2.75 to 1.0; and (iv) a fixed charge ratio of 1.2 to 1.0.  At September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

All outstanding obligations under the FNBO Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company.

In connection with the FNBO Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a separate interest rate swap agreement with FNBO from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes periodic payments at a fixed rate of 5.60% through the life of the FNBO Term Loan.  The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FASB 133”).  The fair value of the interest rate swap at September 30, 2008 is $1,000 net of any tax effect, and is included in “swap liability on hedge contracts” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect.

On September 30, 2005, MtronPTI entered into a loan agreement (the “RBC Loan Agreement”) with RBC, which provides for a loan in the original principal amount of $3,040,000 (the “RBC Term Loan”).  The RBC Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR Base Rate plus 2.75% and is being repaid in monthly installments based on a 20 year amortization, with the then remaining principal balance and interest due on the fifth anniversary of the RBC Loan Agreement.  The RBC Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of at least 4.0 to 1.0; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $4.2 million; and (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0.  At September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

All outstanding obligations under the RBC Loan Agreement are collateralized by security interests in the assets of MtronPTI and guaranteed by the Company.

In connection with the RBC Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a five-year interest rate swap from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes 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.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at September 30, 2008 is ($85,000) net of any tax effect, and is included in “swap liability on hedge contracts” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect.

F.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company utilizes the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123-R”) to measure the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize cost over the requisite service period.  Compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments granted under SFAS 123-R, and all awards granted under SFAS 123 to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested on the effective date.  The Company recognizes compensation expense on fixed awards with pro rata vesting on a straight-line basis over the service period.

On March 20, 2007, the Company granted 10,000 restricted shares to an executive officer.  This officer subsequently resigned prior to December 31, 2007 without vesting in any shares.  On December 31, 2007, the Board of Directors granted restricted shares to eight of its members at 1,471 shares each.  On January 22, 2008, the Board of Directors granted 1,250 restricted shares to one of its members. All of these shares are to vest ratably over 2008 at the end of each respective quarter.  Total stock compensation related expense for all outstanding grants for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $33,000 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $94,000.  

The Company estimates the fair value of stock based compensation on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model for stock option grants.  The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.  There is no expected dividend rate.  Historical Company information was the primary



10




basis for the expected volatility assumption.  Prior years grants were calculated using historical volatility as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is more indicative of the options expected volatility in the future.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. SFAS 123-R also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.  Based on past history of actual performance, a zero forfeiture rate has been assumed.

G.

Loss Per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No.  128, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net 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 loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and unvested restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive because the Company has reported net losses:

Discontinued Operations


In June 2007, the Company finalized its sale of certain assets and liabilities of Lynch Systems to a third party.  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. The assets retained by Lynch systems include the land, buildings and some equipment. The Company intends to sell the land, buildings and remaining equipment in separate transactions.

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 reflect the operations of Lynch Systems as discontinued operations.  Specifically, we have reclassified the results of operations of Lynch Systems for all periods presented to “Loss from Discontinued Operations” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  In addition, the remaining assets and liabilities of the business divested in 2007 have been reclassified to “Assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Liabilities of Discontinued Operations” and the assets of the divested business held for separate sale continue to be classified as held and used in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and are included within “Land and Buildings and Improvements.”  

There were no revenues from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Income (loss) from discontinued operations was $30,000 and ($153,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.



13




Revenues from discontinued operations were $0 and $2,534,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Income (loss) from discontinued operations was $25,000 and ($1,131,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may become defendants in certain product liability, worker claims and other litigation.  The Company and its subsidiaries have no litigation pending at this time.

M.

Income Taxes

The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns, which includes all U.S. subsidiaries.  The Company has a total net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forward of $5,378,000 as of December 31, 2007.  This NOL expires through 2027 if not utilized prior to that date.  The Company has research and development credit carry-forwards of approximately $743,000 at December 31, 2007 that can be used to reduce future income tax liabilities and expire principally between 2020 and 2027.  In addition, the Company has foreign tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $230,000 at December 31, 2007 that are available to reduce future U.S. income tax liabilities subject to certain limitations.  These foreign tax credit carry-forwards expire at various times through 2017.

The Company provided $84,000 and $93,000 for foreign income taxes and $0 and $0 for state taxes in the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company provided $190,000 and $134,000 for foreign income taxes and $0 and $0 for state taxes in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable U.S. tax attributes in future tax returns, we continue to record a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable U.S. net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, except for the Company’s $111,000 in AMT deferred tax assets which do not expire.

N.

Related Party Transactions

At September 30, 2008, the Company had $5,604,000 of cash and cash equivalents.  Of this amount, $1,114,000 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 $1,095,000 of $5,233,000 at December 31, 2007.

Item 2.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Forward Looking Statements

Information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different than the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.


Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to three months ended September 30, 2007


Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations increased by $636,000, or 6.6%, to $10,248,000 for the third quarter 2008 from $9,612,000 for the comparable period in 2007.  The increase is due primarily to an increase in foreign sales of $983,000 over the comparable period in 2007 offset by a decrease in domestic sales of $347,000.  This growth in foreign sales is driven by the Company’s customers’ continuing migration of manufacturing into low labor cost regions.                                   

Consolidated gross margin from continuing operations as a percentage of revenues for the third quarter 2008 increased to 25.6% from 23.5% for the comparable period in 2007 reflecting the Company’s continuing efforts to improve upon its manufacturing and supply chain efficiency.     

Operating Loss

Operating loss from continuing operations of $93,000 for the third quarter 2008 is an improvement of $190,000 from the $283,000 operating loss for the comparable period in 2007.  The $190,000 improvement was primarily driven by an improvement in gross margin of 2.1% in the third quarter of 2008 as a percentage of sales in comparison to the same period in 2007 reflecting the Company’s continuing efforts to improve upon its manufacturing and supply chain efficiency.  The improvement in gross margin was offset by an increase in engineering, selling and administrative expenses of $169,000 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, which was primarily driven by an increase in engineering head count.     

Other Income (Expenses)

Net interest expense for the third quarter 2008 was $79,000, compared with $79,000 for the comparable period in 2007.  In the third quarter of 2008, the Company recognized $58,000 in other expense, compared with other income of $15,000 for the comparable period in 2007, offset by the gain on the sale of equipment not related to the Company’s frequency control and electronic filter businesses of $255,000 in the third quarter of 2008.

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, 2008 included foreign taxes.  The provision gives effect to our estimated tax liability at the end of the year.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable U.S. tax attributes in future tax returns, we continue to record a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable U.S. net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, except for the Company’s $111,000 in AMT deferred tax assets which do not expire.

Results of Discontinued Operations

As a result of the sale of Lynch Systems in the second quarter of 2007, we have reclassified the results of operations of Lynch Systems for all periods presented to “Discontinued Operations” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the revenues from discontinued operations were $0 and income from discontinued operations was $30,000 compared with revenues of $0 and loss from discontinued operations of $153,000 for the third quarter of 2007.

Net Loss

Net loss for the third quarter 2008 was $29,000 compared to net loss of $593,000 for the comparable period in 2007. The third quarter 2008 loss was comprised of a $59,000 loss from continuing operations and $30,000 income from discontinued operations compared with a $440,000 loss from continuing operations and $153,000 loss from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in net loss is due to improved gross margins as a percentage of revenue of 2.1% and a reduction in the loss from discontinued operations of income of $30,000 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $153,000 third quarter of 2007. In addition, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of equipment of $255,000 in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $0 in the same period in 2007.

Nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2007


Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin

Consolidated revenues from continuing operations for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008 increased by $1,178,000, or 4.1%, to $30,181,000 from $29,003,000 for the comparable period in 2007.  The increase is due primarily to an increase in foreign sales of $2,683,000 over the comparable period in 2007 offset by a decrease in domestic sales of $1,505,000.  This growth in foreign sales is driven by the Company’s customers’ continuing migration of manufacturing into low labor cost regions.                                   

Consolidated gross margin from continuing operations as a percentage of revenues for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008 increased to 26.0% from 23.3% for the comparable period in 2007.  The improvement in gross margin reflects the Company’s continuing efforts to improve upon its manufacturing and supply chain efficiency.   

Operating Loss

Operating loss from continuing operations of $943,000 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2008 is an improvement of $1,008,000 from the $1,951,000 operating loss for the comparable period in 2007.  The $1,008,000 improvement was caused by a margin percentage improvement of 2.7%, resulting in additional gross margin of $783,000 on a same sales level reflecting the Company’s continuing efforts to improve upon its manufacturing inefficiencies experienced in 2007, offset by an increase in professional fees primarily due to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements for the first two quarters of 2007, fiscal 2006 and prior years and its continuing compliance requirements under Sarbanes-Oxley.  In addition, in 2007 the Company recognized an impairment loss on Lynch Systems’ assets of $905,000.     



16




Other Income (Expenses)

Investment income from continuing operations decreased $1,526,000 to $0 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.  This was due to the sale of substantially all of the marketable securities that were held for sale during the first quarter 2007.  Net interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $208,000, compared with $260,000 for the comparable period in 2007 due to the overall reduction in Company debt in 2008 in relation to the comparable period in 2007, as well as a reduction in the variable interest rate on MtronPTI’s revolving loan.  In addition, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of equipment not related to the Company’s frequency control and electronic filter businesses of $255,000 in 2008 compared to a gain on the sale of land of $88,000 during the comparable period in 2007.  

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, 2008 included foreign taxes.  The provision gives effect to our estimated tax liability at the end of the year.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable U.S. tax attributes in future tax returns, we continue to record a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable U.S. net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, except for the Company’s $111,000 in AMT deferred tax assets which do not expire.

Results of Discontinued Operations

As a result of the sale of Lynch Systems in the second quarter of 2007, we have reclassified the results of operations of Lynch Systems for all periods presented to “Discontinued Operations” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, the revenues from discontinued operations were $0 and income from discontinued operations was $25,000 compared with revenues of $2,534,000 and loss from discontinued operations of $2,113,000 including a loss on the sale of Lynch Systems of $982,000 for the comparable period in 2007.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $1,192,000 compared to a net loss of $2,868,000 for the comparable period in 2007. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 loss was comprised of a $1,217,000 loss from continuing operations and $25,000 gain from discontinued operations compared with a $755,000 loss from continuing operations and $2,113,000 loss from discontinued operations for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net loss from 2007 to 2008 is due to the Company incurring an impairment loss on Lynch Systems’ assets of $905,000 and total net loss from discontinued operations of $2,113,000, offset by investment income of $1,526,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, compared to an impairment loss of $0, net income from discontinued operations of $25,000 and investment income of $0 for the comparable period in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities at September 30, 2008 was $5,625,000 as compared to $5,281,000 at December 31, 2007.  MtronPTI had unused borrowing capacity of $3,426,000 under MtronPTI’s revolving line of credit at September 30, 2008, as compared to $4,465,000 at December 31, 2007.  At September 30, 2008, MtronPTI had $2,074,000 outstanding in its revolving loan, compared with $1,035,000 at December 31, 2007.

At September 30, 2008, the Company’s net working capital was $10,032,000 as compared to $10,984,000 at December 31, 2007 after taking into account the reclassification of Lynch Systems assets into “Assets or Liabilities of Discontinued Operations.”  At September 30, 2008, the Company had current assets of $17,595,000 and current



17




liabilities of $7,563,000.   After taking into account the reclassification of Lynch Systems assets into “Assets or Liabilities of Discontinued Operations,” at December 31, 2007, the Company had current assets of $17,225,000 and current liabilities of $6,241,000.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.33 to 1.00 at September 30, 2008, compared to 2.76 to 1.00 at December 31, 2007.   

Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $707,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The decrease in cash used in operating activities is due to cash used in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to pay down accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $785,000 compared to an increase of $288,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  This was offset by usage of $547,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 that increased inventory balances compared to a decrease in inventory and cash creation of $1,048,000 during the comparable period in 2007.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, versus cash provided by of $2,128,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The cash from investing activities came primarily from the sale of securities in March 2007.  The proceeds of that sale were $2,292,000.

Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $744,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared with cash used in financing activities of $781,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in cash provided by financing activities is due primarily to an increase in net borrowings on the Company’s note payable offset by a decrease in scheduled repayments of its long-term debt.

At September 30, 2008, total liabilities of $11,457,000 was $950,000 more than the total liabilities at December 31, 2007 of $10,507,000. The debt increased due to the increase in MtronPTI’s borrowing on its revolving loan, which was partially offset by a decrease in term loans outstanding due to scheduled repayments.  At September 30, 2008, the Company had $411,000 in current maturities of long-term debt compared with $419,000 at December 31, 2007.  The increase in consolidated debt was offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $371,000.

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.   

On October 14, 2004, MtronPTI, entered into the FNBO Loan Agreement.  The FNBO Loan Agreement provides for a short-term credit facility of up to $5,500,000, the FNBO Revolving Loan.  The provisions of the FNBO Revolving Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on June 30, 2008.  The principal balance of the FNBO Revolving Loan currently bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1%, with interest only payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due on June 30, 2009.  At September 30, 2008, the amount outstanding under the revolving credit loan was $2,074,000.  The Company had $3,426,000 of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit at September 30, 2008, compared to $4,465,000 at December 31, 2007.

The FNBO Loan Agreement also provides for a term loan in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, the FNBO Term Loan.  The provisions of the FNBO Term Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on January 24, 2008.  Under such amendment, the original principal amount of the FNBO Term Loan is approximately $1,410,000, and the principal balance bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1%, with principal and interest payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due January 24, 2013.

The FNBO Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) tangible net worth of not less than $7,000,000, (ii) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.5 to 1.0; (iii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 2.75 to 1.0; and (iv) a fixed charge ratio of 1.2 to 1.0.  At September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

All outstanding obligations under the FNBO Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company.

In connection with the FNBO Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a separate interest rate swap agreement with FNBO from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes periodic payments at a fixed rate of 5.60% through the life of the FNBO Term Loan.  The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow



18




hedge in accordance with FASB 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at September 30, 2008 is $1,000 net of any tax effect, and is included in “swap liability on hedge contracts” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect.

On September 30, 2005, MtronPTI entered into the RBC Loan Agreement, which provides for a loan in the original principal amount of $3,040,000, the RBC Term Loan.  The RBC Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR Base Rate plus 2.75% and is being repaid in monthly installments based on a 20 year amortization, with the then remaining principal balance and interest due on the fifth anniversary of the RBC Loan Agreement.  The RBC Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of at least 4.0 to 1.0; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $4.2 million; and (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0.  At September 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

All outstanding obligations under the RBC Loan Agreement are collateralized by security interests in the assets of MtronPTI and guaranteed by the Company.

In connection with the RBC Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a five-year interest rate swap from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes 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, 2008 is ($85,000) net of any tax effect, and is included in “swap liability on hedge contracts” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect.

Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2008, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the guidance for smaller companies in using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Internal Controls – Integrated Framework as it relates to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Based on that assessment, management had concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2007 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result of its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, management identified material weaknesses in the following areas: entity-level controls, enterprise-wide risk oversight, financial statement close and reporting process, inventory controls and information technology company-level controls.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Throughout the process to report on the operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008, no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting were made regarding the implementation of a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2007.  We have continued to implement controls and procedures that have addressed and corrected the previously reported control deficiency related to material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to inventory controls.  The primary changes made by the Company to remedy the identified material weakness were improvements in the documentation of implemented controls and procedures and their respective reviews and approvals.   In addition, management continuously identifies and communicates in a timely manner to the responsible personnel across the Company changes to its compliance program and actively follows up on its appropriate implementation.

Management has continued to identify a material weakness in the area of information technology company-level controls.

We will continue to implement process changes to address the material weaknesses previously noted regarding the internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal 2007. We are currently undergoing a comprehensive effort to remedy the control deficiencies identified. This effort, under the direction of the Company’s senior management includes the documentation, testing and review of our internal controls. During the course of these activities, we may identify other potential improvements to our internal controls over financial reporting that we will evaluate for possible future implementation. We expect to continue such documentation, testing and review and may identify other control deficiencies, possibly including additional material weaknesses, and other potential improvements to our internal controls in the future.

Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Based on management’s continuing assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2008 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  

Legal Proceedings.


In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may become defendants in certain product liability, worker claims and other litigation.  There is no litigation pending currently.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

We found material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008.

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A(T), “Controls and Procedures,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and updated herein in Part I, Item 4T, “Controls and Procedures,” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2007 and not effective as of September 30, 2008.  Our failure to successfully implement our plans to remediate the material weaknesses discovered could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, to produce timely and reliable financial information, and to effectively prevent fraud.  Additionally, such failures could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and stock price.
