Note D - Long-term Debt
The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo with a credit limit up to $30,000,000 and an initial term through September 30, 2013. The facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and the Company has pledged 65% of its equity ownership interest in some of its foreign entities. The Company is required to be in compliance with several financial covenants. During the quarter ended October 31, 2013, the Company renewed its senior secured credit facility. The facility was revised to extend the term of the agreement to October 31, 2015, amend its capital expenditure covenant, terminate the unused line fee and reduced its borrowing interest rates. The facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate is prime rate (effective, 3.25% at October 31, 2013) or LIBOR plus two and a half percent (effectively, 2.75% at October 31, 2013), which is paid monthly. At October 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its amended financial covenants.

In consideration, the Company agreed to pay a purchase price consisting of: (i) the satisfaction and release of the account payable of $16,455,000 owed by Seller to the Company; (ii) future payments, which are based upon the annual post-closing performance of the Business during each of the Companys fiscal years 2013 through 2019; and (iii) the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock of SigmaTron, 12,500 of which vested upon the closing of the Transaction and 12,500 of which will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing of the Transaction.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company agreed to assume (i) the Sellers obligations under certain specified contracts and Governmental Authorizations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (ii) specified trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Seller as agreed upon by the parties and (iii) specified inter-company payables involving the Seller, DAC, Cayman and/or their subsidiaries and associated companies. Further, each of DAC and Cayman retained the liabilities associated with its respective operations, which is customary in transactions involving the purchase or sale of all of the equity securities of an entity. As a result, the Company indirectly acquired such liabilities through the Transaction.

The Credit Amendment
Concurrent with the Transaction, the Company entered into amendments of its credit facility with Wells Fargo (the Credit Amendment). The Credit Amendment modified certain financial covenant thresholds applicable to the Company, added property acquired in the Transaction as collateral for the loan to the Company, permitted the Company to acquire certain inter-company payables involving the Seller, DAC, Cayman or the subsidiaries and associated companies and permitted the Company to discharge and release the account payable owed by the Seller to the Company in partial consideration for the Transaction.
Reasons for the Transaction
The Company believes its acquisition of the Business will allow a comprehensive approach to solving major appliance producers issues with integrating electronics into their platforms. The acquisition also added two manufacturing operations in locations that the Company believes will augment the Companys international footprint. In addition, the acquisition of the Business will allow the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets. In conjunction with the acquisition, professional fees incurred during fiscal 2013 and 2012, were $803,006 and $530,565, respectively. The professional fees were recorded as selling and administrative expenses.
Accounting
The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting, and on the date of the acquisition, the Company assessed the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (primarily using level 3 measurement inputs) and an allocated purchase price of $18,944,307. The allocation of the purchase considerations was based upon estimates made by the Company with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The revised purchase price allocation as of May 31, 2012, was as follows:

The amounts allocated to customer relationships, backlog, trade names, non-compete agreements and patents are estimated by the Company based on the analysis performed by independent valuation specialists, primarily through the use of discounted cash flow techniques. Appraisal assumptions utilized under these methods include a forecast of estimated future net cash flows, as well as discounting the future net cash flows to their present value. Acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful lives as set forth in the following table:
Method | Life | |||
Customer relationships | Accelerated | 15 Years | ||
Backlog | Straight-line | 1 Year | ||
Trade names | Straight-line | 20 Years | ||
Non-compete agreements | Straight-line | 7 Years | ||
Patents | Straight-line | 5 Years | ||
Goodwill | N/A | Indefinite |
The estimated asset lives are determined based on projected future economic benefits and expected life cycles of the acquired intangible assets. The amount assigned to goodwill is not being amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually or under circumstances that may indicate a potential impairment. Goodwill is deductible for federal income tax purposes over a period of 15 years.
The Companys estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration ($2,320,000 as of the acquisition date) was based on expected operating results of the Business through fiscal 2019 and the specific terms of when such consideration would be earned. Those terms provide for additional consideration to be paid to Seller or its owner based on a percentage of sales and pre-tax profits over those years in excess of certain minimums. The Company discounted expected payments by its weighted average cost of capital of 11.5%. Payments are to be made quarterly each year and adjusted after each year end audit. The Company made four quarterly payments of $65,000 each in fiscal 2013 and one quarterly payment of $65,000 in fiscal 2014. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had not changed its estimated aggregate consideration expected to be earned under this arrangement. Any changes in the Companys estimate will be reflected as a change in the contingent consideration liability and as an adjustment to selling and administrative expenses, as well as changes in the current fair value caused by the continual decrease in the discount period between the current balance sheet date and the estimated payout dates. Such fair value changes were not material during fiscal 2013 or during the first six months of fiscal 2014. The value of the 50,000 shares of restricted stock issued as part of the purchase price was $169,011 based on the trading price of the Companys common stock on the acquisition date discounted by 15% to account for the restrictions associated with that issuance.

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire and instead began selling directly to Spitfires former customers.
Pro Forma Results
The results of the Business for the period June 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012 have been included in our consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended October 31, 2012, which included sales of $11,278,681 and a net loss of $1,456,117.
While the results of Spitfire have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period subsequent to the acquisition, the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of operations for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2012 are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Spitfire giving effect to the business combination as if it had occurred on May 1, 2012.

Note H - 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 goods 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 customers own facility. Upon the customers 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 customers 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 Companys 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 state 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 Companys 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.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test, including computing the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, a second step of the test is required to determine if recorded goodwill is impaired. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for goodwill in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of February 1, 2013 and determined that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment. Property, machinery and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. If events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Companys impairment review is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of its assets and liabilities. This analysis requires management judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines, and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates. The Company conducts annual reviews for idle and underutilized equipment, and review business plans for possible impairment. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be earned by the use of the asset group. When impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value.
Income Tax - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized.
A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may only 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.

The Company adjusts its tax 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 its current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increase or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.
New Accounting Standards:
There are no recent accounting standards that had, or are expected to have, a significant effect on these consolidated financial statements.

Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Companys business including, but not necessarily limited to, the Companys 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 may have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets and goodwill 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, including conflict minerals; the continued availability and sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese or Taiwanese regulations affecting the Companys business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth, including its integration of the Spitfire operation acquired in May 2012. These and other factors which may affect the Companys future business and results of operations are identified throughout the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and as risk factors and may be detailed from time to time in the Companys 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) automated and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and shipment services; and (6) 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, Vietnam and Taiwan.
The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Companys production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited
17
Table of Contents
SigmaTron International, Inc.

number of suppliers. In addition, a customers 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 Companys results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. 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 Companys orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.
Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Companys 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 than consignment orders due 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 Companys revenue and gross margin levels. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Companys revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.
In the past, the timing of production and delivery of orders has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings. The economy remains volatile, the cost of doing business is increasing and long-term planning is difficult. The Company believes there could be a shift in demand for product as customers try to manage their inventory for calendar 2013 year end. Pricing pressures continue from both customers and suppliers and the Company plans to continue managing its expenses conservatively. At the same time the Company continues to leverage the assets from the Spitfire transaction and believes it is well positioned to handle the challenges.
On May 31, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire. Spitfire was a privately held Illinois corporation with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Spitfire was an original equipment manufacturer of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry. Although North America was its primary market, Spitfires applications can be used worldwide. The Company provided manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, and was a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its OEM electronic controls business.
The Companys Spitfire division provides cost effective designs as control solutions for its customers, primarily in high volume applications of domestic cooking ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators, and portable appliances. It is a member of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), as well as other industry related trade associations and is ISO 9001-2008 certified. The acquisition has enabled the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets.
Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire. The Company instead began selling directly to Spitfires former customers.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company relocated its Tijuana, MX operation to a new facility within Tijuana, MX. The Company incurred a total of approximately $424,000 in relocation expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as a result of the move. Approximately $399,000 of the relocation expenses were included in cost of products sold and consist primarily of moving expenses related to equipment, the write-off of leasehold improvements and the restoration of the prior Tijuana facility. Of the total relocation expenses, approximately $25,000 was recorded in selling and administrative expenses.
Results of Operations:
Net Sales
Net sales increased for the three month period ended October 31, 2013 to $56,577,287 from $52,729,395 for the three month period ended October 31, 2012. Net sales increased for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 to $112,743,348 from $100,358,624 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Sales volume increased for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year in the appliance, consumer electronics and medical/life sciences marketplaces. The increase in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the industrial electronics, fitness, semiconductor equipment, telecommunications and gaming marketplaces. The increase in revenue for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013 is a result of sales to new customers and new programs that had previously been delayed. The Company is hopeful the momentum will continue and it has several new opportunities that it believes will support growth in fiscal 2015. The Company is considering modest expansions at several of its offshore facilities during the balance of fiscal 2014.
In the past, the timing of production and delivery of orders has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings. The economy remains volatile, the cost of doing business is increasing and long-term planning is difficult. The Company believes there could be a shift in demand for product as customers try to manage their inventory for calendar 2013 year end. Pricing pressures continue from both customers and suppliers and the Company plans to continue managing its expenses conservatively. At the same time the Company continues to leverage the assets from the Spitfire transaction and believes it is well positioned to handle the challenges.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased during the three month period ended October 31, 2013 to $5,996,136 or 10.5% of net sales, compared to $5,403,170 or 10.2% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit increased for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 to $12,284,544 or 10.9 % of net sales, compared to $10,109,068 or 10.1% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013 was primarily the result of sales to existing customers, new customers, new programs and product mix. The increase in gross profit for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 was partially offset by foreign currency loss of $87,845.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $4,839,754 or 8.6% of net sales for the three month period ended October 31, 2013, compared to $4,679,755 or 8.9% of net sales for the same period in

the prior fiscal year. The net increase for the three month period ended October 31, 2013 was approximately $160,000. Bonus expense, legal fees and one-time expenses related to the Companys October 2013 Tender Offer (See Note I) accounted for approximately $208,000 in additional selling and administrative expense for the quarter ended October 31, 2013. The increase in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by a decrease in sales salaries, commissions and other professional fees. Selling and administrative expenses increased to $9,695,312 or 8.6% of net sales for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 compared to $9,345,160, or 9.3% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increases for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 was primarily from salaries and other administrative expenses as a result of the Spitfire Transaction in the amount of $515,245. Other increases in selling and administrative expenses for the six month period ended October 31, 2013, were due to bonus expense and accounting salaries. The increases in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by a decrease in legal and accounting fees.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $236,094 for the three month period ended October 31, 2013 compared to $208,615 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 was $450,054 compared to $396,952 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense for the three and six month periods ended October 31, 2013 was due to increased borrowings under the Companys banking arrangements during the quarter ended October 31, 2013 and additional capital lease obligations. Interest expense for future quarters may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, were to increase.
Taxes
Income tax expense from operations was $165,157 for the three month period ended October 31, 2013 compared to an income tax expense of $23,711 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The income tax expense from operations was $438,030 for the six month period ended October 31, 2013 compared to income tax benefit of $30,989 for the same period in the prior year. Income tax expense increased for the three and six month period ended October 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of a pre-tax loss for the US operations in fiscal 2013 created by the Spitfire acquisition. The US statutory tax rate applied to the pre-tax US loss created a tax benefit in fiscal 2013, which was partially offset by income tax expense from the Companys foreign jurisdictions that have lower effective tax rates than in the US.
