Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

July 31, 2011

Note A — Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of SigmaTron International, Inc. (“SigmaTron”), SigmaTron’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex, S.A. de C.V., and SigmaTron International Trading Co., wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan (collectively, the “Company”) 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, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011.

Note D — Financing Transaction:

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $30 million. The term of the credit facility extends through September 30, 2013, and allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate can be the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at July 31, 2011) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.1% at July 31, 2011), which is paid monthly. The LIBOR rate has a floor of .35%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at July 31, 2011. As of July 31, 2011, there was a $24,527,192 outstanding balance under the credit facility and $5,472,808 of unused availability.

Note E — Critical Accounting Policies:

Management Estimates and Uncertainties - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and except for consignment inventory, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished goods have been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title

passes under the terms of the purchase order. Finished good inventory for certain customers is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for finished goods inventory, the inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption or use by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for such arrangements. The Company from time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order, and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further, from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives (although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.

Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to record the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Income Tax - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 — “Income Taxes”. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates by management are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense assessment.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinue operations and changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment and

estimates by management about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income and/or loss.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not presently aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 740 and the Company adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.

New Accounting Standards:

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13 for updated revenue recognition guidance under the provisions of ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements”. The previous guidance has been retained for criteria to determine when delivered items in a multiple-deliverable arrangements should be considered separate units of accounting, however the updated guidance removes the previous separation criterion that objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” to address questions that have been raised in practice about the intended breadth of the embedded credit derivative scope exception in paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 815-15-15-9 of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The amended guidance clarifies that the scope exception applies to contracts that contain an embedded credit derivative that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. This guidance was effective on August 1, 2010 for the Company. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations,” on the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. ASC No. 805 requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting

period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” which results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will first be applicable to the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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

In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business of SigmaTron International, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex, S.A. de C.V., and SigmaTron International Trading Co., wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan (collectively, the “Company”) and other Items in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations. Words such as “continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from our customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets impairment testing; the variability of our customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and our customers to keep current with technological changes within our industries; regulatory compliance; the continued availability and sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese or Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth. These and other factors which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and as risk factors and may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements speak as of the date of such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise unless otherwise required by law.

Overview:

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. Increased demands for components and rising commodity prices have resulted in upward pricing pressure from the Company’s supply chain, which has affected and could continue to affect our results of operations. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful indicator of the Company’s gross margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders have caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings, and the Company expects such fluctuations to continue. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general, and the United States economy specifically makes forecasting difficult, such difficulty is expected to continue for the balance of fiscal year 2012. The Company has begun seeing a softening in demand. The Company continues to experience pricing pressures from both its customers and vendors and it has limited or delayed ability to pass along price increases to its customers. The Company is addressing its pricing structures with various customers and is implementing inventory programs with specific vendors.

Results of Operations:

Net Sales

Net sales increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 to $38,892,011 from $38,061,373 for the three month period ended July 31, 2010. Sales volume increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year in the industrial and consumer electronics, fitness and semiconductor equipment marketplaces. The increase in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the appliance, telecommunications, gaming and medical/life sciences marketplaces. The increase in revenue for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 is a result of our existing customers’ increased demand for product and the addition of some new customer programs ramping up compared to the previous fiscal year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased during the three month period ended July 31, 2011 to $3,542,508 or 9.1% of net sales, compared to $4,658,154 or 12.2.% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company continues to experience pricing pressures from both its customers and vendors and it has limited or delayed ability to pass along increases to its customers, which has negatively affected its margins. The Company is addressing its pricing structures with various customers and is implementing inventory programs with specific vendors. Gross profit was further negatively affected by foreign currency losses of $57,363 due to the weakening dollar compared to a foreign currency gain of $44,791 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders have caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings, and the Company expects such fluctuations to continue. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general, and the United States economy specifically makes forecasting difficult, such difficulty is expected to continue for the balance of fiscal year 2012. The Company has begun seeing a softening in demand from some of its customers.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses decreased to $2,909,136, or 7.5% of net sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to $3,053,186, or 8.0% of net sales in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in total dollars in specific categories of expenses for the three month period ended July 31, 2011, was $328,758 and is primarily due to bonus expense, travel, professional fees and other selling and administrative expenses decreasing. The decreases in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses was partially offset by an increase of $184,708 in commissions, legal fees, miscellaneous taxes and office salaries, resulting in selling and administrative expenses decreasing by a net amount of $144,050.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $269,316 for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to $247,450 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The additional interest expense was attributable to the Company’s increased borrowings under its banking agreements and capital lease obligations, and higher interest rates under its senior secured credit facility. Interest expense for future quarters may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, continue to increase.

Taxes

The income tax expense from operations was $141,526 for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to $503,681 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 37% for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 and 2010.

Net Income

Net income decreased to $240,961 for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to $857,989 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 were both $0.06 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.22 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Operating Activities.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $4,008,189 for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $3,393,354 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the first three months of fiscal year 2012, cash flow used in operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventories of $2,833,415 due to rising inventory levels for some customers delaying shipments and the start up of new customer programs. Cash flow used in operating activities was further impacted by an increase in accounts receivable of $1,586,890 due to increased sales volume and timing of cash receipts from a significant customer. Net cash used in operating activities was partially offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and a decrease in accounts payable. The decrease in accounts payable of $232,833 is due to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $3,393,354 for the three months ended July 31, 2010. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, cash flow used in operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventories of $7,758,729 due to an increase in customer demand and the start up of new customer programs. Net cash used in operating activities was partially offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable. The change in accounts payable is due to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business.

Investing Activities.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company purchased approximately $1,100,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business. The Company expects to make additional machinery and equipment purchases of approximately $2,800,000 during the balance of fiscal year 2012. The Company anticipates the purchases will be funded by lease transactions and its bank line of credit.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company purchased approximately $2,300,000 in machinery and equipment in the ordinary course of business. Approximately $70,400 of the equipment purchases was pursuant to a financed licensing agreement for software through a note payable.

Financing Activities.

Cash provided by financing activities was $4,272,526 for the three months ended July 31, 2011, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5,924,426 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of increased borrowings of $2,527,192 under the credit facility. The additional borrowings were required to support the increase in inventory and accounts receivable.

Financing Transactions.

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $30 million. The term of the credit facility extends through September 30, 2013, and allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate can be the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at July 31, 2011) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.1% at July 31, 2011), which is paid monthly. The LIBOR rate has a floor of .35%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at July 31, 2011. As of July 31, 2011, there was a $24,527,192 outstanding balance under the credit facility and $5,472,808 of unused availability.

The Wells Fargo note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.42% per year and is amortized over a sixty month period. A final payment of approximately $2,000,000 is due on or before January 8, 2015. The outstanding balance as of July 31, 2011 was $2,350,006.

On January 19, 2010, the Company entered into a leasing transaction with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. to refinance $1,287,407 of equipment. The term of the lease financing agreement extends to January 18, 2012 with monthly payments of $55,872 and a fixed interest rate of 4.29%. The balances outstanding under the lease agreement were $331,078 and $919,946 at July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net book value of the equipment was $1,602,571 at July 31, 2011.

On August 20, 2010 and October 26, 2010, the Company entered into two capital leasing transactions (a lease finance agreement and a sale lease back agreement) with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $1,150,582. The term of the lease finance agreement, with an initial principal amount of $315,252, extends to September 2016 with monthly payments of $4,973 and a fixed interest rate of 4.28%. The term of the sale lease back agreement, with an initial principal amount of $835,330, extends to August 2016 with monthly payments of $13,207 and a fixed interest rate of 4.36%. At July 31, 2011, $279,220 and $719,094 was outstanding under the lease finance and sale lease back agreements, respectively. The net book value at July 31, 2011 for the equipment under the lease finance agreement and sale lease back agreement was $293,359 and $748,610, respectively.

On November 29, 2010, the Company entered into a capital lease with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $226,216. The term of the lease agreement extends to October 2016 with monthly payments of $3,627 and a fixed interest rate of 4.99%. At July 31, 2011, the balance outstanding under the capital lease agreement was $203,441. The net book value of the equipment under this lease at July 31, 2011 was $211,369.

The total amount outstanding at July 31, 2011 for the above four equipment lease transactions was $1,532,833. The Company has two other capital leases. The outstanding balance at July 31, 2011 and 2010 was $66,605 and $309,413, respectively. The total net book value of the equipment under these other leases at July 31, 2011 was $629,758.

In September 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement in Union City, CA, to rent 116,993 square feet of manufacturing and office space. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company receives incentives over the life of the lease, which extends through March 2021. The amount of the deferred rent expense recorded for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 was $3,580. In addition, the landlord provided the Company tenant incentives of $418,000, which is being amortized over the life of the lease.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan IPO. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and New Taiwan Dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for the three months ended July 31, 2011, resulted in a foreign currency loss of approximately $57,400. During the first quarter ended July 31, 2011, the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $4,600,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided. The Company has not provided U.S. deferred taxes for a significant portion of undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries, since these earnings have been, and under current plans will continue to be, permanently reinvested in these subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution. Should the tax law to repatriate dividends change, the Company may reconsider its plan.

The Company anticipates its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. In the event the business grows rapidly, the current economic climate deteriorates or the Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.
