Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

TESSCO Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (TESSCO, we, or the Company), architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless broadband systems. The Company provides marketing and sales services, knowledge and supply chain management, product-solution delivery and control systems utilizing extensive Internet and information technology. Approximately 98% of the Company’s sales are made to customers in the United States. The Company takes orders in several ways, including phone, fax, online and through electronic data interchange. Over 99% of the Company’s sales are made in United States Dollars.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the interim periods presented. These statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been omitted from these statements, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. The results of operations presented in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard which simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. The accounting standard permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning April 2, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. While the adoption of this guidance impacted the Company’s disclosures, it did not have an impact on Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011 includes $337,800 and $821,300, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is primarily related to our Performance Stock Unit (PSU) Program. In addition, the Company recorded an excess tax benefit directly to shareholders’ equity of $2,140,200 and $336,800, primarily related to the PSUs which vested during the three months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011, respectively.

Performance Stock Units: The following table summarizes the activity under the Company’s PSU program for the first three months of fiscal 2013:

	Three Months Ended July 1, 2012			Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date
Unvested shares available for issue under outstanding PSUs, beginning of period		604,844		$	9.81
Granted		151,200			19.30
Vested		(258,186	)		8.87
Forfeited/cancelled		(2,800	)		10.89
Unvested shares available for issue under outstanding PSUs, end of period		495,058		$	13.19

Of the 495,058 shares available for issuance under outstanding PSUs but not yet vested as of July 1, 2012, 343,858 shares have been earned, and assuming the respective participants remain employed by or associated with the Company on these dates, the shares earned in respect of each measurement year will vest and be issued in installments beginning on or about May 1 of the year following the applicable measurement year and continuing on or about May 1 of each of the three immediately following years.

The PSUs cancelled during fiscal 2013 related to the fiscal 2012 grant of PSUs, which had a 1-year measurement period (fiscal 2012). The PSUs were cancelled because the applicable fiscal 2012 performance targets were not fully satisfied. Per the provisions of the 1994 Plan, the shares related to these forfeited and cancelled PSUs were added back to the 1994 Plan and became available for future issuance.

During fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, with the concurrence of the full Board of Directors, granted additional PSUs to select key employees, providing them with the opportunity to earn up to 151,200 additional shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate, depending upon whether certain threshold or goal earnings per share targets are met, and subject to individual performance. These PSUs have one measurement year (fiscal 2013), with any shares earned at the end of fiscal 2013 to vest and be issued ratably on or about May 1 of each of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, provided that the respective participants remain employed by the Company on each such date.

-7-

Table of Contents

If the maximum number of PSUs granted in fiscal 2013 is assumed to be earned, total unrecognized compensation costs, on these and all earned but unvested PSU’s would be approximately $4.2 million, net of estimated forfeitures, as of July 1, 2012, and would be expensed through fiscal 2016. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from what is anticipated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from the Company’s expectations.

Restricted Stock: In fiscal 2007, the Company granted 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as a restricted stock award under the 1994 Plan. These shares are issued and vest (subject to the risk of forfeiture) ratably over ten fiscal years based on service, beginning on the last day of fiscal 2007 and ending on the last day of fiscal 2016, subject, however, to the terms applicable to the award, including terms providing for possible acceleration of vesting upon death, disability, change in control or certain other events. The fair value for these shares at the grant date was $10.56. As of July 1, 2012, 90,000 shares remained unvested, and there was no activity related to these restricted shares during the first three months of fiscal 2013. As of July 1, 2012, there was approximately $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to this issuance of restricted stock. Unrecognized compensation costs are expected to be recognized ratably over a remaining period of approximately four years.

On April 25, 2011 and May 3, 2012, an aggregate of 36,000 and 20,100 restricted stock awards were granted to the non-employee directors of the Company. These awards provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with a four year annual vesting schedule, provided that the director remains associated with the Company (or meets other criteria as prescribed in the applicable award agreement) on each such date. As of July 1, 2012, there was approximately $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the issuance of these restricted stock awards.

PSUs and RSUs are expensed based on the grant date fair value, calculated as the closing price of TESSCO common stock as reported by NASDAQ on the date of grant minus the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the common stock before the award vests, because dividends or dividend-equivalent amounts do not accrue and are not paid on unvested PSUs and RSUs.

To the extent the actual forfeiture rates are different from what is estimated, stock-based compensation related to the restricted awards will be different from the Company’s expectations.

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company complies with the FASB standard regarding fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Accordingly, assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

·	Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

·	Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company has no assets and liabilities recorded at fair value as of July 1, 2012.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, product inventory, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values as of July 1, 2012 and April 1, 2012 due to their short term nature.

Fair value of long term debt is calculated using current market interest rates, and future principal payments, as of July 1, 2012 and April 1, 2012 is estimated as follows:

	July 1, 2012				April 1, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Note payable to a bank	$	2,718,700	$	2,477,700	$	2,775,000	$	2,517,000
Note payable to Baltimore County	$	176,200	$	160,100	$	182,200	$	165,000

Note 5. Income Taxes

As of July 1, 2012, the Company has a gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $938,000, and if the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the net effect would be a benefit to the Company’s effective tax rate of $635,400.

A reconciliation of the changes in the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:


Beginning balance at April 1, 2012 of unrecognized tax benefit	$	895,300
Increases related to prior period tax positions		17,500
Increases related to current period tax positions		25,200
Ending balance at July 1, 2012 of unrecognized tax benefits	$	938,000

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share considering the FASB standard regarding accounting for participating securities, which requires the Company to use the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share is computed by dividing the sum of the distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	July 1, 2012			June 26, 2011
Earnings per share – Basic:
Net earnings	$	4,207		$	4,574
Less: Distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock		(48	)		(67	)
Earnings available to common shareholders – Basic	$	4,159		$	4,507

Weighted average common shares outstanding – Basic		7,867			7,579

Earnings per common share – Basic	$	0.53		$	0.59

Earnings per share – Diluted:
Net earnings	$	4,207		$	4,574
Less: Distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock		(47	)		(65	)
Earnings available to common shareholders – Diluted	$	4,160		$	4,509

Weighted average common shares outstanding – Basic		7,867			7,579
Effect of dilutive options		373			293

Note 7. Business Segments

Since the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company has evaluated its business in two segments – commercial and retail. The commercial segment includes: (1) public carriers, contractors and program managers that are generally responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; (2) private system operators and governments including commercial entities such as major utilities and transportation companies, federal agencies and state and local governments that run wireless networks for their own use; and (3) commercial dealers and resellers that sell, install and/or service cellular telephone, wireless networking, broadband and two-way radio communications equipment primarily for the enterprise market. The retail segment includes: (1) retailers, dealer agents and Tier 2 and 3 carriers; and (2) Tier 1 carriers (including the Company’s largest customer, AT&T Mobility, Inc.).

The Company evaluates revenue, gross profit and net profit contribution for each of its segments. Net profit contribution is defined as gross profit less any expenses that can be directly attributed or allocated to each segment. This includes sales, product management, purchasing, credit and collections and distribution team expenses, plus freight out and internal and external marketing costs. Corporate support expenses, which are not allocated to each segment, includes administrative costs – finance, human resources, information technology, operating facility occupancy expenses, depreciation, amortization and interest, plus the company-wide pay on performance bonus expense.

The Company does not segregate assets by segments, for internal reporting, for evaluating performance or for allocating capital. The Company has, however, allocated all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to the applicable segments (and reporting units within segments, where applicable) for purposes of its annual impairment tests. The Company’s goodwill at July 1, 2012 relates to acquisitions within its commercial segment. Certain cost of sales and other applicable expenses have been allocated to each segment based on a percentage of revenues and/or gross profit, where appropriate.

Note 9. Stock Buyback

On April 28, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock buyback program. As of July 1, 2012, the Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to 3,593,350 shares of outstanding common stock under the stock buyback program. Shares may be purchased from time to time in the open market, by block purchase, or through negotiated transactions, or possibly other transactions managed by broker-dealers. No time limit has been set for completion or expiration of the program. As of July 1, 2012, the Company had purchased 3,505,187 shares under the stock buyback program for approximately $30.7 million, or an average of $8.76 per share. Of the total shares repurchased under the stock buyback program, none were purchased during fiscal 2012 or the first three months of fiscal 2013. As of July 1, 2012, 88,163 shares remained available for repurchase under this program.

In addition to the shares repurchased in the stock buyback program discussed immediately above, the Company repurchased all 705,000 shares of its common stock then held by Brightpoint, Inc. in a privately negotiated transaction on July 1, 2008 for approximately $6.4 million, or $9.09 per share.

The Company also withholds shares from its employees and directors at their request, equal to the minimum federal and state tax withholdings related to vested performance stock units, stock option exercises and restricted stock awards. For the three months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011 the allocated value of the shares withheld totaled $1,799,000 and $463,200, respectively.

Note 10. Concentration of Risk

The Company’s future results could be negatively impacted by the loss of certain customer and/or vendor relationships. For both the fiscal quarters ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011, sales of products to the Company’s top customer relationship, AT&T Mobility Inc. (“AT&T”), accounted for 38% and 28% of total revenues, respectively. For the fiscal quarter ended July 1, 2012, aside from AT&T, no customer accounted for more than 5% of total consolidated revenues, respectively. As further described below, in April 2012, we were notified by AT&T that they intend to transition their retail store supply chain business away from TESSCO beginning in the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2013. We now anticipate that this business will be transitioned in all material respects at some point during the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2013. This will result in a significant reduction in revenues but a lesser relative impact on overall profits.

The Company is dependent on third-party equipment manufacturers, distributors and dealers for all of its supply of wireless communications equipment. For the first quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, sales of products purchased from the Company’s largest vendor, Otter Products LLC, a significant portion of which are sold to the Company’s largest customer AT&T, accounted for approximately 11% and 22% of total revenues, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. This commentary should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012.

Business Overview and Environment

TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (TESSCO, we, or the Company) architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions, at lower costs, to support wireless broadband systems. Although we sell products to customers in many countries, approximately 98% of our sales are made to customers in the United States. We have operations and office facilities in Hunt Valley, Maryland, Reno, Nevada and San Antonio, Texas.

The Company evaluates its business in two segments – commercial and retail. The commercial segment includes: (1) public carriers, contractors and program managers; (2) private system operators and governments; and (3) commercial dealers and resellers. The retail segment includes: (1) retailers, dealer agents and Tier 2 and 3 carriers and (2) Tier 1 carriers (including the Company’s largest customer, AT&T).

We offer a wide range of products that are classified into four business categories: base station infrastructure; network systems; installation, test and maintenance; and mobile devices and accessories. Base infrastructure products are used to build, repair and upgrade wireless telecommunications. Sales of traditional base station infrastructure products, such as base station radios, cable and transmission lines and antennas are in part dependent on capital spending in the wireless communications industry. Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and Internet networks. We have also been growing our offering of wireless broadband, network equipment, security and surveillance products, which are not as dependent on the overall capital spending of the industry. Installation, test and maintenance products are used to install, tune, and maintain wireless communications equipment. This category is made up of sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency-, voltage- and power-measuring devices, replacement parts and components as well as an assortment of tools, hardware and supplies required by service technicians. Mobile devices and accessory products include cellular phone and data device accessories. Our customers generally have the ability to purchase any of our product categories, but base station infrastructure, network systems and installation, test and maintenance products are primarily sold into our commercial segment, while mobile device and accessories products are primarily sold into our retail segment.

Our largest customer relationship, AT&T, a Tier 1 cellular carrier purchasing phone accessories, accounted for approximately 36% of our total revenues during fiscal 2012 and 38% of total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In April 2012, we were notified by AT&T that they intend to transition their retail store supply chain business away from TESSCO beginning in the second quarter of our fiscal 2013. We now anticipate that this business will be transitioned in all material respects at some point during our third quarter of fiscal 2013, resulting in a significant reduction in revenues but a lesser relative impact on overall profits. During and after the transition, TESSCO expects to continue to supply product to this customer’s other programs and to supply proprietary Ventev® products to AT&T retail stores.

Sales of products purchased from our largest vendor, Otter Products, LLC (Otter) generated approximately 11% of our total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Much of this concentration, however, is attributable to our mobile device accessory sales to AT&T, which in relation to Otter are expected to be fully transitioned from TESSCO to a third party logistics provider in the third quarter of our fiscal 2013. The terms of our current business relationship with Otter are set to expire in March 2013 and as such, we have been engaged in discussions with them regarding revised terms of our relationship. Between now and March 2013 we plan to continue our aggressive marketing and selling of Otter products as a key part of our multi-brand offering and also plan to continue our dialogue with Otter related to future business terms.

Excluding sales to our Tier 1 carriers, first quarter revenues increased by 5.5% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This growth, combined with a 40.8% increase in sales to our Tier 1 carriers (including AT&T), resulted in total first quarter revenue growth of 17.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Excluding our Tier 1 carriers, gross profit remained essentially flat in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and gross profit from our Tier 1 carriers decreased 19.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This resulted in an overall decrease in gross profits of 4.6% compared to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 3.7% over the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease in our pay for performance bonus expense. As a result, net income decreased by 8.0% and diluted earnings per share decreased by 10.5% over the prior-year quarter.

We believe that our recent revenue growth excluding sales toTier 1 carriers has been, and we expect that it will continue to be, largely driven by the growth in wireless devices. Consumers’ demand for these devices is helping to drive opportunities for the sale of our accessory product to our Tier 1 and other retail customers. Also, we believe the growth in wireless devices will require more network build outs in the coming quarters that will impact our Commercial segment. We continue to see large enterprises, utilities, and governments increasing their use of wireless networks in their businesses and operations.

The wireless communications distribution industry is competitive and fragmented and is comprised of several national distributors. In addition, many manufacturers sell direct. Barriers to entry for distributors are relatively low, particularly in the mobile devices and accessories market, and the risk of new competitors entering the market is high. Consolidation of larger wireless carriers has and will most likely continue to impact our current and potential customer base. In addition, the agreements or arrangements with our customers or vendors looking to us for product and supply chain solutions are typically of limited duration and are terminable by either party upon several months, or otherwise short notice. Our ability to maintain these relationships is subject to competitive pressures and challenges. Because of the nature of our business, we have been affected from time to time in the past by the loss and changes in the business habits of significant customer and vendor relationships, and expect that we will continue to be so affected in the future. We believe, however, that our strength in service, the breadth and depth of our product offering, our information technology system, industry experience and knowledge, and our large customer base and purchasing relationships with approximately 380 manufacturers, provide us with a significant competitive advantage over new entrants to the market.

Results of Operations

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 Compared with First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2012

Total Revenues. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 17.7% as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2012, largely due to a 30.5% increase in retail segment revenues. The retail sales growth was largely a result of a 40.8% increase in sales to our Tier 1 carrier customers, primarily AT&T, but also due to a 10.3% increase in sales to our non-Tier 1 customers. Commercial segment revenues increased 3.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, with a significant increase in sales to our commercial dealers and resellers and public system operators contractors and program managers markets, partially offset by a decline in sales to our private and government system operators market.

Total Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 4.6% as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2012, due to an 8.1% decrease in our retail segment and a 2.1% decrease in our commercial segment. Within the retail segment, our Tier 1 carrier market showed a considerable increase in sales, but much lower gross margins associated with these Tier 1 sales, resulting in a 19.4% decline in gross profit in the retail segment. This was primarily due to the business expansion experienced with AT&T beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. As discussed above, we expect that this business will be transitioned in all material respects during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in our commercial segment gross profit was driven by a decline in our private and government market, partially offset by increases in our commercial dealers and resellers and public carrier, contractor and program manager markets. Overall gross profit margin decreased to 18.4%, compared to 22.8% for the same period last year, driven by the temporarily expanded AT&T business. We account for inventory at the lower of cost or market, and as a result, write-offs/write-downs occur due to damage, deterioration, obsolescence, changes in prices and other causes.

Our ongoing ability to earn revenues and gross profits from customers and vendors looking to us for product and supply chain solutions depends upon a number of factors. The terms, and accordingly the factors, applicable to each relationship often differ. Among these factors are the strength of the customer’s or vendor’s business, the supply and demand for the product or service, including price stability, changing customer or vendor requirements, and our ability to support the customer or vendor and to continually demonstrate that we can improve the way they do business. In addition, the agreements or arrangements on which our customer and vendor relationships are based are typically of limited duration, typically do not include any obligation in respect of any specific product purchase or sale and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice. Because of the nature of our business, we have been affected from time to time in the past by the loss and changes in the business habits of significant customer and vendor relationships, and we may continue to be so affected in the future. Our customer relationships could also be affected by wireless carrier consolidation or the overall global economic environment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.1 million or 3.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 14.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from 18.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of a significant increase in revenues and lower pay for performance bonus accruals, partially offset by higher information technology expenses.

Pay for performance bonus expense (including both cash and equity plans) decreased by $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Because our reward programs are performance based, and our results during the first three months of 2013 were behind our target runrate, bonus expense was lower compared to last year’s quarter.

Information technology expense increased approximately $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily related to investments in business generation technology tools.

We continually evaluate the credit worthiness of our existing customer receivable portfolio and provide an appropriate reserve based on this evaluation. We also evaluate the credit worthiness of prospective and current customers and make decisions regarding extension of credit terms to such customers based on this evaluation. Accordingly, we recorded a provision for bad debts of $214,900 and $12,000 for the first quarter ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011, respectively.

Interest, Net. Net interest expense decreased from $105,500 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $57,400 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to decreased borrowings on our revolving line of credit facility.

Income Taxes, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. The effective tax rate increased slightly from 38.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to 38.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 8.0% and diluted earnings per share decreased 10.5% compared to the corresponding prior-year quarter.

Commercial Segment. Revenues in our commercial segment totaled $81.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $78.3 million in the prior year period, a 3.7% increase. Gross profit totaled $21.4 million, a 2.1% decrease as compared to the first quarter last year. Within this segment, the commercial dealers and resellers market grew revenues by 9.4% and gross profits by 8.0%. The public carrier, contractor and program manager market had revenue and gross profit increases of 10.2% and 2.5%, respectively. The private system operator and government market revenues declined by 5.3% and gross profits by 13.0%.

Our direct expenses in this segment totaled $10.1 million, a 0.9% increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Therefore, total segment net profit contribution was $11.3 million, a 4.6% decrease over the prior year period.

Retail Segment. Revenues in our retail segment totaled $111.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, representing a 30.5% increase from the prior year period. Gross profit totaled $14.1 million, an 8.1% decrease. Revenues in our retailer, dealer agent and Tier 2/3 carrier market also increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period last year, up 10.3%, with an 8.9% increase in gross profit, as a result of changes in product and customer mix. We experienced significantly higher sales to our Tier 1 carrier market, primarily AT&T, which showed a 40.8% revenue increase, however, due to the lower gross margin associated with this business, gross profit declined 19.4% on sales to the Tier 1 carrier market.

Our direct expenses in this segment totaled $7.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a 4.8% increase over the prior year period. Therefore, total segment net profit contribution was $6.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, an 18.5% decrease over the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flows used in operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended July 1, 2012 and June 26, 2011:

	Three Months Ended
	July 1, 2012			June 26, 2011
Cash flows used in operating activities	$	(2,321,400	)	$	(2,959,000	)
Cash flows used in investing activities		(456,400	)		(390,100	)
Cash flows used in financing activities		(1,165,300	)		(935,600	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(3,943,100	)	$	(4,284,700	)

We used $2.3 million of net cash from operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2013 compared with $3.0 million used in the first three months of fiscal 2012. In the first three months of fiscal 2013, our cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by increases in trade accounts receivable and inventory and a significant decrease in accrued payroll, benefits and taxes partially offset by net income (net of depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense) and an increase in trade accounts payable. The increase in accounts payable is largely due to the timing and credit terms of inventory receipts, resulting in part from the expansion of our AT&T relationship during the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in trade accounts receivable is primarily due to the timing of sales and collections, including AT&T sales and collections as well as the fact that we have granted extended payment terms to certain large customers. The increased inventory levels are to support AT&T sales and to position our inventory to meet customer demand early in our second fiscal quarter. The significant decrease in accrued payroll, benefits and taxes was primarily related to the payment of our annual pay for performance bonuses during the first quarter.

Capital expenditures of $0.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2013 were up from expenditures of $0.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2012. In the first three months of both fiscal 2013 and 2012, capital expenditures primarily consisted of investments in information technology.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2013 compared with a net cash outflow from financing activities of $0.9 million for the first three months of fiscal 2012. For the first three months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, our cash outflow from financing activities was primarily due to cash dividends paid to shareholders as well as repurchases of treasury stock and stock from employees and directors for minimum tax withholdings related to equity compensation, partially offset by the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.

We are party to an unsecured revolving credit facility with SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with interest payable monthly at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. Borrowing availability under this facility is determined in accordance with a borrowing base, and the applicable credit agreement includes financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, minimum cash flow coverage of debt service, and a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio. These financial covenants also apply to the separate but related term loan secured by our Hunt Valley, Maryland facility discussed below. The terms applicable to our revolving credit facility and term loan also limit our ability to engage in certain transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters. As of July 1, 2012, we had a zero balance outstanding on our $35.0 million revolving credit facility; therefore, we had $35.0 million available on our revolving line of credit facility, subject to the limitations imposed by the borrowing base and our continued compliance with the other applicable terms, including the covenants discussed above. On December 30, 2011, we entered into a Sixth Modification Agreement with SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association which provided for certain modifications to the provisions applicable to the credit facility, including extending the term from May 30, 2012 to May 31, 2013. We intend to refinance and/or extend this agreement before that date. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to secure a replacement facility on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

This revolving credit facility has been amended several times since its inception and as of December 30, 2011 allows us to repurchase up to $30.0 million of our common stock (measured forward to the present date from the date of inception of the Credit Agreement, May 31, 2007) and allows for the payment of up to $6.25 million of dividends in any 12 month period. As of July 1, 2012, we had repurchased an aggregate of $13.7 million of common stock since May 31, 2007, leaving $16.3 million available for future repurchases, without the consent of our lenders or a further amendment to the terms of the facility.

We have a term loan in the original principal amount of $4.5 million from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and SunTrust Bank, that is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest with the balance due at maturity. The note is secured by a first position deed of trust encumbering the Company-owned real property in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Effective July 1, 2011, we entered into a loan modification agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and SunTrust Bank to extend the maturity date of the term loan to July 1, 2016. The key provisions of the loan otherwise remain the same, except that commencing July 1, 2011, the note bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%. As of July 1, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the loan covenants. The loan is subject to generally the same financial covenants as are applicable to our revolving credit facility, and had a balance of $2.7 million as of July 1, 2012.

On March 31, 2009, we entered into a term loan with the Baltimore County Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund for an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The term loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest of $2,300, with the balance due at maturity on April 1, 2019. The term loan bears interest at 2.00% per annum and is secured by a subordinate position on our Hunt Valley, Maryland facility. At July 1, 2012, the principal balance of this term loan was $176,200.

We have made quarterly dividend payments to holders of our common stock since the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The initial amount of the dividend (after the effect of stock splits) was $0.067 per share through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Since then, the dividend has been paid every quarter at gradually increasing amounts, including $0.18 per share in May 2012. On July 23, 2012, we declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.18 per share, payable on August 22, 2012 to holders of record as of August 8, 2012. Any future declaration of dividends and the establishment of any corresponding record and payment dates remains subject to further determination from time to time by the Board of Directors.

We believe that our existing cash, payments from customers, and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next twelve months. To minimize interest expense, our policy is to use excess available cash to pay down any balance on our revolving credit facility. We expect to meet short-term and long-term liquidity needs through operating cash flow, supplemented by our revolving credit facility. In doing so, the balance on our revolving credit facility could increase depending on our working capital and other cash needs. If we were to undertake an acquisition or other major capital purchases that require funds in excess of existing sources of liquidity, we would look to sources of funding from additional credit facilities, debt and/or equity issuances. As of July 1, 2012, we do not have any material capital expenditure commitments.

In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted by decreasing revenues and profits resulting from a decrease in demand for our products or a reduction in capital expenditures by our customers, or by the weakened financial conditions of our customers or suppliers, in each case as a result of the downturn in the global economy, among other factors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard which simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. The accounting standard permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described below. The accounting standard is effective for the Company beginning April 2, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscals, and interim periods within those fiscals, beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. While the adoption of this guidance impacted the Company’s disclosures, it did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a detailed discussion on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ended April 1, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words or phrases does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward looking. Forward looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those described in or contemplated by any such forward-looking statement for a variety of reasons, including those risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the heading “Risk Factors” and otherwise. Consequently, the reader is cautioned to consider all forward-looking statements in light of the risks to which they are subject.

We are not able to identify or control all circumstances that could occur in the future that may adversely affect our business and operating results. Without limiting the risks that we describe in our periodic reports and elsewhere, among the risks that could lead to a materially adverse impact on our business or operating results are the following: termination or non-renewal of limited duration agreements or arrangements with our vendors and affinity partners which are typically terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice; loss of significant customers or relationships, including affinity relationships; loss of customers either directly or indirectly as a result of consolidation among large wireless service carriers and others within the wireless communications industry; the strength of our customers’, vendors’ and affinity partners’ businesses; increasingly negative or prolonged adverse economic conditions, including those adversely affecting consumer confidence or consumer or business spending, or otherwise adversely affecting our vendors or customers, including their access to capital or liquidity or our customers’ demand for our ability to fund or pay for the purchase of our products and services; our dependence on a relatively small number of suppliers and vendors, which could hamper our ability to maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet customer demand; failure of our information technology system or distribution system; technology changes in the wireless communications industry, which could lead to significant inventory obsolescence and/or our inability to offer key products that our customers demand; third-party freight carrier interruption; increased competition from competitors, including manufacturers or national and regional distributors of the products we sell and the absence of significant barriers to entry which could result in pricing and other pressures on profitability and market share; our inability to access capital and obtain or retain financing as and when needed; transitional and other risks associated with acquisitions of companies that we may undertake in an effort to expand our business; the possibility that, for unforeseen reasons, we may be delayed in entering into or performing, or may fail to enter into or perform, anticipated contracts or may otherwise be delayed in realizing or fail to realize anticipated revenues or anticipated savings; our inability to protect certain intellectual property, including systems and technologies on which we rely; and our inability to hire or retain for any reason our key professionals, management and staff.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk:

We are exposed to an immaterial level of market risk from changes in interest rates. We have from time to time previously used interest rate swap agreements to modify variable rate obligations to fixed rate obligations, thereby reducing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We do not have a current interest rate swap relating to our bank term loan. Our variable rate debt obligations of approximately $2.7 million at July 1, 2012, expose us to the risk of rising interest rates, but management does not believe that the potential exposure is material to our overall financial position or results of operations. Based on July 1, 2012 borrowing levels, a 1.0% increase or decrease in current market interest rates would have an immaterial effect on our statement of income.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk:

We are exposed to an immaterial level of market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. Over 99% of our sales are made in U. S. Dollars so we have an immaterial amount of foreign currency risk. Those sales not made in U.S. Dollars are made in Canadian Dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered by this quarterly report, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Lawsuits and claims are filed against us from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any lawsuits or claims currently pending against the Company, individually or in the aggregate, are material, or will have a material adverse affect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, from time to time, we are also subject to review from federal and state taxing authorities in order to validate the amounts of income, sales and/or use taxes which have been claimed and remitted. No federal, state and local income tax returns are currently under examination.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 1, 2012. Nevertheless, information that we have disclosed or will disclose from time to time in our public filings (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act) may provide additional data or information relative to our previously disclosed risk factors.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On April 28, 2003, our Board of Directors announced a stock buyback program. As of July 1, 2012, the Board of Directors has authorized the purchase of up to 3,593,350 shares of outstanding common stock under the stock buyback program. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock pursuant to this program. As of July 1, 2012, we had purchased an aggregate of 3,505,187 shares of our outstanding common stock pursuant to this program for approximately $30.7 million, or an average price of $8.76 per share. Accordingly, as of July 1, 2012, 88,163 shares remained available for repurchase under this program. Shares may be purchased from time to time under this program in the open market, by block purchase, or through negotiated transactions, or possibly other transactions managed by broker-dealers. No timetable has been set for completion or expiration of the program. On July 1, 2008, separate from, and in addition to, our stock buyback program, we repurchased all 705,000 shares of our common stock then held by Brightpoint, Inc. in a privately negotiated transaction for approximately $6.4 million. Until December 30, 2011, our revolving credit facility and term loan with SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, limited to $25.0 million the aggregate dollar value of shares that may be repurchased from May 31, 2007 forward. Effective December 30, 2011, this limit was increased from $25.0 million to $30.0 million. As of July 1, 2012, we had the ability to purchase approximately $16.3 million in additional shares of common stock without violating this covenant.
