Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On March 25, 2010, White Electronic Designs Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Bowmar LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“Bowmar”), to sell the identified assets, including among other assets, real estate, equipment, personal property and inventory of the Company’s Fort Wayne, Indiana operations associated with the Electromechanical Products Division of the Company (the “Business”) to Bowmar for approximately $1,800,000 million (the “Purchase Price”) and the assumption of identified liabilities. The Business manufactures, sells, installs and services build-to-print mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic assemblies, and interface products. This transaction closed the same day as the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement and also resulted in Bowmar agreeing (i) to a new labor agreement with the labor union of the Business, and (ii) to continue to employ the employees of the Business, with a few limited exceptions.$1,500,000 of the Purchase Price was paid in cash at closing and the remaining $300,000 is deferred Purchase Price paid out pursuant to the terms and conditions of the associated promissory note. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants (including confidentiality and non-compete provisions) and indemnification provisions that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, for certain post-closing services to be provided by the Company during a transitional period of the Business.

     The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company is derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and the year ended September 30, 2009 are presented as if the disposition of the Business as discussed in Item 2.01 hereof, had been completed as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as if the disposition had been completed as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what our results would actually have been had these transactions actually occurred on the dates presented or to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma adjustments as described herein and in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The allocations are preliminary in nature and subject to change following the transaction based on refinements as actual data becomes available. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of the loss on the disposition at this time and therefore, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the amount of any loss from the disposition.

(d) Exhibits.
