WHITE ELECTRONIC DESIGNS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to White Electronic Designs Corporation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and January 3, 2009, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and January 3, 2009 have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is the opinion of management that all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial results are reflected in the interim periods presented. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements 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 September 30, 2009. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as net sales and expenses reported for the periods presented. The most significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, bad debts, long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, warranty, income taxes and the gain or loss on the sale of discontinued operations. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and, while actual results may differ, management believes that the estimates are reasonable.

During fiscal 2008, the Company made a strategic decision to exit all commercial electronics markets and focus its operation in the defense electronics market where the Company has superior technical knowledge, specialized manufacturing capabilities and an ongoing commitment to research and development. As a result of this decision, during fiscal 2009, the Company disposed of its operations in the Interface Electronics Division (“IED”), commercial microelectronic product lines and Display System Division (“DSD”). All three operations are being reported as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are classified as assets and liabilities held for sale.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period unless they are antidilutive. Potential dilutive common shares consist of the incremental common shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock awards.

   $ 10,992      $ 11,677   
                

Construction in progress typically represents either assets received and not yet in service or leasehold improvements not yet completed. Depreciation expense was $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company experienced a loss from operations on its electromechanical assembly product line, which represents its Ft. Wayne, Indiana operations. Based on current and projected market factors, an impairment analysis was performed. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by this asset group were less than its carrying value. The carrying values of the property, plant and equipment were reduced to estimated fair value. As a result, during the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $0.3 million. The Company estimated the fair value based upon our assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets.

5. OTHER ACCRUED EXPENSES

Other accrued expenses consisted of the following major categories (in thousands):

 

     December 31,

In connection with the sale of DSD, $0.3 million of warranty reserve was retained by the Company and reclassified to continuing operations as of April 3, 2009. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reduced the DSD warranty provision by $53,000 due to the expiration of the warranty period.

6. CREDIT FACILITY

On March 31, 2009, the Company entered into a Third Modification Agreement to its revolving line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Revolving Line of Credit”). The amendment reduced the amount available under this line of credit from $30.0 million to $10.0 million and made certain other adjustments to (i) the interest rates charged in connection with borrowings under the line of credit, (ii) the commitment fee charged on the unused portion of the line and (iii) certain financial covenants and restricted payments. The borrowings, if any, under the Revolving Line of Credit bear interest at the lower of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.5%, or the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. “prime rate.” A commitment fee of 0.5% is charged on the unused portion of the line. The Revolving Line of Credit expires on March 31, 2011. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenant requirements related to this Revolving Line of Credit. As of December 31, 2009, there were no borrowings against the Revolving Line of Credit. The Company has not borrowed against any credit facility since April 2003.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At December 31, 2009, the Company had share-based employee compensation plans which are described in Notes 2 and 9 of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of our stock at the date of grant. We recognize stock compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. For the three months ended December 31, 2009 and January 3, 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $139,000 and $170,000, respectively. The compensation cost for share-based payment awards is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. There were no stock option grants during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and January 3, 2009. The Company granted 15,000 restricted stock units on November 6, 2009 to its new director Kenneth J. Krieg which will vest over three years.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate of 34% due to the incremental impact of state income taxes offset by a reduction for the manufacturer’s deduction and research and development tax credit currently available for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 31% and 23% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is primarily due to the benefit recorded in the three months ended January 3, 2009 for the reinstatement of the research and development credit. The research and development credit expired on December 31, 2007 and was retroactively reinstated on October 3, 2008. The credit again expired December 31, 2009. Accordingly, we recorded a benefit of $72,000 in the three months ended January 3, 2009 for this reinstatement back to January 1, 2008. Additionally, our fiscal 2010 provision only includes one quarter of our expected annual credit.


WHITE ELECTRONIC DESIGNS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements are recorded as adjustments to income taxes payable or receivable, or adjustments to deferred taxes, or both. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based on technical merits, it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $339,000, $246,000 of which would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $331,000, $240,000 of which would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy is to recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had accrued $16,000 of interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had accrued $15,000 of interest related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the following significant taxing jurisdictions: U.S. federal, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio and Oregon. The statute of limitations for a particular tax year for examination by the Internal Revenue Service is three years, and three to four years for the states of Arizona, Indiana, Ohio and Oregon. Accordingly, there are multiple years open to examination.

9. PENSION PLAN

The Company has a non-contributory pension plan for eligible union employees at its Fort Wayne, Indiana facility. The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost recognized (in thousands):

The Company contributed $49,000 to the pension plan during the three months ended December 31, 2009. There were no contributions to the pension plan during the three months ended January 3, 2009.

10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 28, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the disposal of the IED and the commercial microelectronic product lines. On September 26, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the disposal of DSD. These decisions resulted from an effort to streamline the Company’s businesses to focus on product lines where the Company has superior technical knowledge, specialized manufacturing capabilities and an ongoing commitment to research and development. The Company believes this course of action has and will continue to increase shareholder value and allow it to focus on growing its business. As a result of its decision to dispose of these businesses, the Company has accounted for them as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are classified as assets and liabilities held for sale. It ceased depreciation of the assets of discontinued operations upon committing to the disposal plans.

On April 3, 2009, the Company completed the sale of DSD to the U.S. subsidiary of VIA optronics GmbH, a German company (“VIA”). The Company sold the operating assets of DSD, primarily consisting of inventory, equipment and intellectual property, for approximately $2.3 million. As of the date of the sale, other non-operating

net assets of approximately $0.9 million, consisting primarily of accounts receivable and residual liabilities, were retained to be settled in the normal course of business.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional disclosure requirements for plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Required disclosures provide information on how investment allocation decisions are made, the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets, the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The disclosures about plan assets shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Upon initial

application, the provisions are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. Earlier application of the provisions is permitted. We will incorporate these additional disclosures in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010. Their adoption does not change the accounting treatment for postretirement benefit plans.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. This guidance will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year 2011 beginning October 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company has no application for this guidance at the present time.

There are currently no such pending proceedings to which the Company is a party that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 13, 2010, the management of the Company committed the Company to an exit and disposal of the Ft. Wayne, Indiana operations, which is included in its defense electronics segment. The Company has a continuing effort to streamline the Company’s business to focus on product lines where the Company has superior technical knowledge, specialized manufacturing capabilities and an on-going commitment to research and development. Management has determined that the Company’s operations in Ft. Wayne, Indiana are not consistent with the Company’s long-term strategy. No other significant subsequent events requiring disclosure were noted through February 9, 2010, the filing date of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009.
