WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES

 

 

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Boonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR, Willtek Communications GmbH, WTG Foreign Sales Corporation and NC Mahwah, Inc., collectively the “Company”. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

 

As has been disclosed by the Company in its filings in prior periods, in light of on-going market challenges facing the Company’s foreign subsidiary, Willtek Communications GmbH (“Willtek”), including significant technology research and development expenses required to remain competitive, management has been evaluating several strategic alternatives and opportunities.

 

 

 

In November 2009, the Company’s board of directors made a decision to conclude efforts to seek strategic alternatives regarding the operations, assets and intellectual property relating to Willtek so that the Company could focus on growing its domestic based business divisions. The board of directors authorized management to begin negotiations with interested parties to sell substantially all of the assets of Willtek or cease incurring costs related to its development. On April 9, 2010, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all the operating assets and certain liabilities of Willtek and, on May 7, 2010, successfully completed this sale.

 

 

 

As a result of the sale of the assets and liabilities of Willtek, the Company has reflected its Willtek operation as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations in its 2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the information presented in these notes to the financial statements pertains primarily to the Company’s continuing operations.

 

 

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring entries, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s results for the interim periods being presented.

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including inventory valuation, accounts receivable valuation, valuation of deferred tax assets, accrued warranty expense, estimated fair values of stock options and assets held for sale) and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Specific reference is made to that report since certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report.

 

 

 

The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and U.S. Treasury investments and accounts receivable.

 

 

 

The Company maintains significant cash investments primarily with three financial institutions, which at times may exceed Federally insured limits. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit rating of these institutions as part of its investment strategy.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES (Continued)

 

 

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the Company’s large customer base. However, at March 31, 2010, primarily all of the Company’s receivables do pertain to the telecommunications industry.

 

 

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, other current assets and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of mortgage and notes payable approximate fair value based on their terms which reflect market conditions existing as of March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the fair value (estimated based upon expected cash outflows discounted at current market rates) and carrying value of fixed rate mortgage and notes payable amounted to $4,578,239 and $4,404,378, respectively.

 

 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank and money market accounts.

 

 

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and, except for the events described with respect to the sale of Willtek (see Note 12), the Company has determined that there were no other subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period’s reporting presentation.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

 

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

 

 

In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.

 

 

 

The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s March 31, 2010 condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of the level 3 portion of the update to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

 

 

 

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

 

 

In November 2009, the Company’s board of directors made a decision to conclude efforts to seek strategic alternatives regarding the operations, assets and intellectual property relating to the Company’s foreign subsidiary, so that the Company could focus on growing its domestic based divisions. The board of directors authorized management to begin negotiations with interested parties to sell substantially all of the assets of Willtek or cease incurring costs related to its development (see Note 12).

 

 

 

As a result of this decision, as well as additional circumstances leading up to the sale of Willtek during second quarter of 2010, Willtek has met the required criterion with respect to discontinued operations. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net assets of Willtek continue to be reflected as assets and liabilities held for sale. Therefore, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Willtek have been included as assets and liabilities held for sale within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented and further presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

 

 

 

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carry-forwards.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES (Continued)

 

 

 

Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.

 

 

 

By adoption of ASC 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has identified its federal tax return, its state tax return in New Jersey and its foreign return in Germany as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

Based on a review of tax positions for all open years and contingencies as set out in Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740 during the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 5 - INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

 

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method.

Common stock options are included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation for the periods presented when the various option exercise prices are greater than the average market price of the common shares for each respective period presented. The number of common stock equivalents not included in diluted earnings (loss) per share, because the effects are anti-dilutive, was 2,270,160 and 3,336,967 for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

 

 

Comprehensive (loss) represents changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. During the three-months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, other comprehensive (loss) consisted of foreign currency translation gains and losses. The net amounts recognized in other comprehensive (loss) was $233,342 and $220,213 for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

 

 

The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, and also reviews goodwill annually in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, “Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets.” The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is ongoing, subjective and requires significant judgment and estimates regarding future cash flows and forecasts. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over fair value of net assets acquired. Testing for the impairment of goodwill involves a two step process. The first step of the impairment test requires the comparing of a reporting units fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value is less than the fair value, no impairment exists and the second step is not performed. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In the second step, the impairment is computed by estimating the fair values of all recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit and comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that unit’s goodwill.

 

 

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the assets and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold for sale is based on the fair value of the assets. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

NOTE 9 - ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK OPTIONS

 

 

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment.” The Company’s results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 include share-based compensation expense totaling $50,091 and $89,274, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within operating expenses.

 

 

 

Stock option compensation expense relative to service-based options is the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock option compensation expense relating to performance-based options is the estimated fair value of options granted, recognized when stated performance targets are achieved, or expected to be achieved..

 

 

 

The fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the options granted, the Company took into consideration guidance under ASC 718 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using weekly price observations over an observation period of three years. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

 

Following an investigation by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in 1982, of the waste disposal practices at a certain site formerly leased by Boonton, the Company put a ground water management plan into effect as approved by the NJDEP. Costs associated with this site are charged directly to income as incurred. The owner of this site has notified the Company that if the NJDEP investigation proves to have interfered with a sale of the property, the owner may seek to hold the Company liable for any loss it suffers as a result. However, corporate counsel has informed management that, in their opinion, the owner would not prevail in any lawsuit filed due to the imposition by law of the statute of limitations.

 

 

 

In September 2009, the Company secured a line of credit with its investment bank. The credit facility provides borrowing availability of up to 100% of the Company’s money market account balance and 99% of the Company’s short-term investment securities (U.S. Treasury bills) and, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, is fully secured by said money fund account and short-term investment holdings. Advances under the facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in effect at time of borrowing. Additionally, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, there is no annual fee and any amount outstanding under the loan facility may be paid at any time in whole or in part without penalty. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the facility and approximately $6,400,000 of borrowing availability. The Company has no current plans to borrow from this credit facility as it believes its present cash balances will adequately meet near-term working capital requirements.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

 

 

On April 9, 2010, the Company executed an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Willtek, the Company’s foreign subsidiary located in Ismaning, Germany, for the cash purchase price of $2,750,000, subject to certain purchase price adjustments as defined in the asset purchase agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser would retain all of the employees of Willtek and all other assets of Willtek, except for any cash balances at the date of closing and specifically identified notes receivable balances. Additionally, the purchaser agrees to retain all of the liabilities of Willtek, except for, a bank note payable and accrued foreign income taxes. On May 7, 2010, the Company successfully completed this transaction.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., and its operating subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”), develop, manufacture and market a wide variety of electronic noise sources, electronic testing and measuring instruments including power meters, voltmeters and modulation meters and high-power passive microwave components for wireless products. The Company’s products have historically been primarily used to test the performance and capability of cellular/PCS and satellite communication systems and to measure the power of RF and microwave systems. Other applications include radio, radar, wireless local area network (WLAN) and digital television.

As has been disclosed by the Company in its filings in prior periods, in light of on-going market challenges facing the Company’s foreign subsidiary, Willtek Communications GmbH (“Willtek”), including significant technology research and development expenses required to remain competitive, management has been evaluating several strategic alternatives and opportunities.

In November 2009, the Company’s board of directors made a decision to conclude efforts to seek strategic alternatives regarding Willtek so that the Company could focus on growing its domestic based businesses. The board of directors authorized management to begin negotiations with interested parties to sell substantially all of the assets of Willtek or cease incurring costs related to its development. On April 9, 2010, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all the operating assets and certain liabilities of Willtek to certain subsidiaries of Aeroflex Incorporated. On May 7, 2010, the Company completed the sale of Willtek’s assets.

As a result of the sale of Willtek, the Company has reflected its foreign business activities as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations in its 2010 and 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements disclosed in Item 1. Further to this disclosure, management’s discussion and analysis pertains primarily to the Company’s continuing operations.

The financial information presented herein includes:
(i) Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2010 (unaudited) and as of December 31, 2009 (ii) Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 (unaudited) and 2009 (unaudited) and (iii) Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 (unaudited) and 2009 (unaudited).

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, including, without limitation, the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates” or “continues” or the negative thereof of other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the Company’s current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, product demand and development of competitive technologies in our market sector, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the loss of any significant customers, the effects of adoption of newly announced accounting standards, the effects of economic conditions and trade, legal and other economic risks, among others.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that the Company believes are: (a) the most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and (b) that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, “Share-Based Payment”. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the performance-based options granted in 2009, the Company took into consideration guidance under ASC 718 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using weekly price observations over an observation period of three years. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product shipments, including shipping and handling fees, is recognized once delivery has occurred provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. Sales to international distributors are recognized in the same manner. If title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, then recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. There are no formal sales incentives offered to any of the Company’s customers. Volume discounts may be offered from time to time to customers purchasing large quantities on a per transaction basis. There are no special post shipment obligations or acceptance provisions that exist with any sales arrangements.

Valuation of Inventory

Raw material inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at average cost of production, which includes material, labor and manufacturing expenses.

Comprehensive (loss)/Foreign currency

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at period-end exchange rates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) in accordance with ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. A key consideration in estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts has been, and will continue to be, our customer’s payment history and aging of its accounts receivable balance. If the financial condition of any of its customers were to decline, additional allowances might be required.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Income Taxes

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carry-forwards.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.

By adoption of ASC 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has identified its federal tax return, its state tax return in New Jersey and its foreign return in Germany as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

Based on a review of tax positions for all open years and contingencies as set out in Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740 during the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Valuation of goodwill

The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable, and also reviews goodwill annually in accordance with ASC 350, “Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets.” The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is ongoing, subjective and requires significant judgment and estimates regarding future cash flows and forecasts. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over fair value of net assets acquired. Testing for the impairment of goodwill involves a two step process. The first step of the impairment test requires the comparing of a reporting units fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value is less than the fair value, no impairment exists and the second step is not performed. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In the second step, the impairment is computed by estimating the fair values of all recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit and comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that unit’s goodwill. The goodwill on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is attributable to Microlab/FXR.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, net sales increased to approximately $6,137,000 from approximately $5,528,000 an increase of approximately $609,000 or 11.0%. The increase is primarily due to strengthening demand for the Company’s domestic subsidiaries products and services.

16


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Gross profit on net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $2,803,000 or 45.7% as compared to approximately $2,626,000 or 47.5% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit margins are lower primarily due to unfavorable product mix and increased competition, particularly in the highly competitive PIM market. Manufacturing labor and overhead costs remained relatively stable period over period. The Company can experience variations in gross profit based upon the mix of products sold as well as variations due to revenue volume and economies of scale. The Company continues to carefully monitor costs associated with material acquisition, manufacturing and production.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were approximately $2,492,000 or 41% of net sales as compared to approximately $2,822,000 or 51% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Operating expenses are lower due to decreases in both sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, partially off-set by a slight increase in research and development expenses.

Interest income decreased by approximately $22,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. This decrease was primarily due to the decline in interest rates in the Company’s interest bearing accounts. In reaction to uncertain financial market conditions, the Company has reallocated substantially all of its cash investments to more secure money market funds. Other income increased by approximately $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to foreign currency losses realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Net income from continuing operations was approximately $320,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $223,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $543,000. The increase was primarily due to the analysis mentioned above.

Net loss from discontinued operations was approximately $1,284,000 or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $63,000 or $0.00 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a loss increase of approximately $1,221,000. The 2010 loss was primarily due to approximately $609,000 of a loss recognized in 2010 on the sale of Willtek resulting from an increase of the anticipated closing costs and approximately $675,000 of operating losses in Willtek.

Net loss was approximately $964,000 or $0.04 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of approximately $286,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a loss increase of approximately $678,000. The loss increase was primarily due to the analysis mentioned above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company’s working capital has decreased by approximately $1,222,000 to approximately $24,932,000 at March 31, 2010, from approximately $26,154,000 at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010 the Company had a current ratio of 4.5 to 1, and a ratio of debt to tangible net worth of .4 to 1. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a current ratio of 4.4 to 1, and ratio of debt to tangible net worth of .4 to 1.

The Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $12,743,000 at March 31, 2010, compared to approximately $14,076,000 at December 31, 2009. The Company believes its current level of cash and cash equivalents is sufficient enough to fund the current operating, investing and financing activities.

The Company used cash for operating activities, including discontinued operations, of approximately $1,208,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2010. The primary use of this cash was due to a loss from operations as well as an increase in accounts receivable, an increase in inventory, a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.

The Company has historically been able to turn over its accounts receivable approximately every two months. This average collection period has been sufficient to provide the working capital and liquidity necessary to operate the Company.

17


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company used cash for operating activities, including discontinued operations, of approximately $137,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2009. The primary use of this cash was due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially off-set by a decrease in accounts receivable and a decrease in inventory.

Net cash used for investing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $13,000. The use of these funds was for capital expenditures. For the three-months ended March 31, 2009, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $2,951,000. The primary source of these funds was from the sale of short-term securities, off-set by capital expenditures.

Cash used for financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $15,000 and $14,000, respectively. The use of these funds was for the periodic payments of a mortgage note.

After the conclusion of the Willtek sale, the Company anticipates satisfying the entire outstanding principal and interest due on its bank note payable through payment of approximately $1,700,000. However, since this bank note is in principle a Euro denominated loan, the outstanding loan balance is subject to foreign currency fluctuations and will likely be adjusted at time of payment.

Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

In September 2009, the Company secured a line of credit with its investment bank. The credit facility provides borrowing availability of up to 100% of the Company’s money market account balance and 99% of the Company’s short-term investment securities (U.S. Treasury bills) and, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, is fully secured by said money fund account and short-term investment holdings. Advances under the facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in effect at time of borrowing. Additionally, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, there is no annual fee and any amount outstanding under the loan facility may be paid at any time in whole or in part without penalty. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the facility and approximately $6,400,000 of borrowing availability.

The Company believes that its financial resources from working capital are adequate to meet its current needs. However, should current global economic conditions continue to deteriorate, additional working capital funding may be required which may be difficult to obtain due to restrictive credit markets.

Throughout its ownership of Willtek, the Company had been required to fund its foreign operations through cash loans and advances. Due to the successful completion of the sale of Willtek’s assets, this funding will no longer be required.

INFLATION AND SEASONALITY

The Company does not anticipate that inflation will significantly impact its business or its results of operations nor does it believe that its business is seasonal.
