Item 1.  Description of Business.

 

General

 

PHAZAR CORP was incorporated in 1991 and operates as a holding company with Antenna Products Corporation, Tumche Corp., Phazar Antenna Corp. and Thirco, Inc. as its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Antenna Products Corporation and Phazar Antenna Corp. are operating subsidiaries with Thirco, Inc. serving as an equipment leasing company to PHAZAR CORP’s operating units.  Phazar Antenna Corp. is a separate legal entity that currently operates as a small division of Antenna Products Corporation.  Tumche Corp. has no sales or operations.   PHAZAR CORP has no other business activity.  The address for PHAZAR CORP and subsidiaries is 101 S.E. 25th Avenue, Mineral Wells, Texas 76067.  The telephone number is (940) 325-3301.

 

Product information is available on the Internet at: www.antennaproducts.com, www.truemeshnetworks.com and www.phazar.com.  The holding company’s web site is www.phazarcorp.com.

 

Antenna Products Corporation

 

Antenna Products Corporation was incorporated in Texas in 1984 to continue a business started in 1947 and operated as a closely held “C” corporation until January 24, 1992.  Thereafter, Antenna Products Corporation has operated, as a wholly owned subsidiary of PHAZAR CORP. 

 

Antenna Products Corporation designs, manufactures and markets standard and custom antennas, wireless mesh network solutions, guyed and self supported towers, support structures, masts and communication accessories worldwide.  Customers include the United States Government, both military and civil agencies, United States Government prime contractors and commercial clients.  Examples of Antenna Products Corporation’s United States Government products include ground to air collinear antennas, instrument landing antennas and towers, fixed system multi-port antenna arrays, tactical quick erect antennas and masts, shipboard antenna tilting devices,  surveillance antennas, antenna rotators, positioners and controls, high power broadcast baluns and tactical military mesh radio wireless networking systems.  Examples of the Company’s commercial products include panel, sector, omnidirectional and distributed antenna system (DAS) antennas for the cellular and wireless markets, paging and yagi antennas, guyed towers and self supported towers, and commercial mesh radio systems.

 

The majority of Antenna Products Corporation’s revenues come from fixed-price contracts, secured through a bidding process, for particular, custom ordered antenna production systems that Antenna Products Corporation builds according to the specifications of the customer.  Except for inventory of standard products including small antennas, accessories and some towers in the amount of $833,286 at May 31, 2010, Antenna Products Corporation does not build and inventory equipment for future off the shelf sales.  The sales volume for a particular antenna or antenna system is, therefore, a function of the fixed price contracts for build to order antennas or systems awarded to Antenna Products Corporation.  However, a general product sales breakdown for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009, as a percentage of total sales are, as follows:

Antenna Products Corporation’s customer base is primarily government and government prime contractor focused, but this is changing as Antenna Products Corporation continues to develop and market new commercial products.  Antenna Products Corporation’s market is international in scope.  Antenna Products Corporation currently focuses on developing domestic and international markets.  The specialized need of Antenna Products Corporation’s customers and the technology required to meet those needs change constantly.  Accordingly, Antenna Products Corporation stresses its engineering, installation, service and other support capabilities.  Antenna Products Corporation uses its own sales and engineering staff to service its principal markets.  Some of Antenna Products Corporation’s contracts are large relative to total annual sales volume and, therefore, the composition of the customer base is different year to year.  United States Government was the single largest customer and accounted for 26% and 13% of the direct sales volume at May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. However, government related business through prime contractors was down year over year. There are no other customers that represented 10% or more of the sales volume in either fiscal year 2010 or 2009.  Orders for equipment in some of these product categories are in backlog and, therefore, the United States Government is expected to be a major client again in 2010. 

 

Antenna Products Corporation is one of many suppliers of antennas and related manufacturing services to the government and government prime contractors.  Antenna Products Corporation competes on the basis of cost and product performance in a market with no dominant supplier.  Due to fixed-price contracts and pre-defined contract specifications prevalent within this market, Antenna Products Corporation competes primarily on the basis of its ability to provide state-of-the-art solutions in the technologically demanding marketplace while maintaining its competitive pricing.

 

Antenna Products Corporation, including its predecessors, has been building antennas and related structures and systems for over 40 years.  We believe that Antenna Products Corporation enjoys a reputation for building quality products at a competitive price, because we continue to be asked to bid for new work.  Because of our size and lack of significant liquid assets we are at a competitive disadvantage to larger companies that have greater resources to be able to bid a job at lower margins.  In terms of gross assets, sales and number of employees, Antenna Products Corporation is a relatively small company compared to the companies with which we compete. 

 

On the other hand, our customers know us, know our personnel and can rely on us to build the antennas or towers or masts, etc. according to their specifications.  We, therefore, compete on the basis of our reputation and history of building quality products at reasonable prices.

 

While Antenna Products Corporation complies with all environmental laws, the costs and effects of compliance are not material to its operations.

 

Antenna Products Corporation plans to reinvest approximately one million dollars in research and development projects, the costs of which are charged to selling, general and administration expense as incurred.  The mix of expenditures between the two areas in any given year is a function of the demand for new independently developed innovative systems and the level of requirements solicited.  In 2010, Antenna Products Corporation, continued development on our new mesh radio wireless networking product line.  This product line includes military and commercial mesh radio systems that utilize proprietary embedded intelligent routing software and multiple frequency architecture to create dynamic wireless mesh networking systems that transmit and share data, voice and video applications.  This development program resulted in a total investment in independent research and development (R&D) of 14% of sales in 2010.  The level of expenditures for R&D as a ratio to sales was 15% of sales in 2009. With the exception of Mesh development, as of May 31, 2010, Antenna Products Corporation does not consider patents to be material to its operations nor would the loss of any patents adversely affect operations

 

Phazar Antenna Corp.

 

Phazar Antenna Corp. supplies a broad range of multiple band antennas for the telecommunication market for DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems). The DAS antennas for Cellular/SMR, AWS and PCS frequencies are installed on utility poles, street lights, rooftops and lamp posts in urban and remote areas to increase wireless carrier services.  These product lines complement Antenna Products Corporation's existing product lines of cellular, PCS, paging, ISM and AMR (automatic meter reading), omni-directional and sector wireless antennas.  Phazar Antenna Corp. sales for the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, amounted to 18% of total sales.  We expect that for fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, this percentage will continue to increase as new products are added to the commercial wireless product lines.  The Phazar Antenna Corp. commercial wireless product lines are manufactured at Antenna Products Corporation’s plant in Mineral Wells, Texas.

 

Thirco, Inc.

 

Thirco, Inc. was formed on November 1, 1993 as a Delaware company to purchase and lease equipment and facilities to the other operating units of PHAZAR CORP.  The primary lease arrangements are with Antenna Products Corporation.  Thirco, Inc. will occasionally assist in servicing the banking needs of PHAZAR CORP’s operating units.  Since all activity is internal to PHAZAR CORP and its operating subsidiaries, financial data is consolidated with PHAZAR CORP.  Thirco, Inc. does not employ any full time employees and does not intend to employ any in the foreseeable future.  Thirco, Inc. does not intend to engage in any outside business transactions.

 

Backlog

 

The backlog of orders at Antenna Products Corporation and Phazar Antenna Corp. was $2,907,590 at year-end.  This compares to $1,741,746 in backlog at the end of fiscal year 2009. 

 

Raw Material Source and Supply

 

PHAZAR CORP’s operating subsidiaries’ principal raw materials are steel, aluminum, other metal alloys, plastic and composite tubing, hardware, electrical wire, wire rope, electronic components and electro-mechanical components.  The materials are commonly available from numerous sources, including local distributors in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of the subsidiaries.  The availability and supply of raw materials is not considered to be a problem for PHAZAR CORP.

 

Employees

 

As of July 15, 2010, Antenna Products Corporation and Phazar Antenna Corp. combined, employed a total of eighty-two full time employees.  Of the eighty-two, fifteen are employed in administration and sales, nine in engineering and technical support and fifty-eight in manufacturing.  None of Antenna Products Corporation and Phazar Antenna Corp.'s employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.

 

Thirco, Inc. does not employ any full time employees and does not intend to employ any in the foreseeable future.

Item 2.  Description of Property.

 

Antenna Products Corporation owns a ten-acre industrial site located along US Highway 180 in Mineral Wells, Texas.  The facility consists of a main building containing 66,000 square feet of manufacturing area and 10,000 square feet of administrative and engineering offices, a second building containing 20,000 square feet of manufacturing and shipping area; and a third building containing 15,000 square feet utilized for receiving and material control.  Three additional auxiliary buildings, which total in excess of 13,350 square feet, are utilized for chemical etching, painting and storage.  The facilities are in good condition and with the current complement of machinery and equipment are suitable and more than adequate to meet production requirements.  Dependent on the mix of product types in process in any given time period, the Company could potentially more than double output with current and planned plant, property and equipment. 

 

Phazar Antenna Corp. has no facilities.  Phazar Antenna Corp. uses the facilities of Antenna Products Corporation in Mineral Wells, Texas. 

 

Thirco, Inc. owns a fifty-acre test site in Mineral Wells, Texas.  The site includes three buildings with 28,000 square feet of space.  The space is currently being leased to Antenna Products Corporation for test activity with some storage of inventory.  The two larger buildings, if needed, are suitable with rearrangement and some conversion expense, for additional manufacturing utilization.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended May 31, 2010 (“2010”) compared with year ended May 31, 2009 (“2009”)

 

PHAZAR CORP recorded a net loss of $937,994 in 2010, compared to a net loss of $582,195 in 2009 attributed to an increase in selling, general and administration expense, a reduction in interest income offset by an increase in revenues with a stronger gross profit level.

 

PHAZAR CORP’s consolidated sales from operations were $7,638,611 in 2010, compared to consolidated sales from operations of $7,310,281 in 2009, an increase of $328,330, or 4.5%.  The increase in sales reflects growth in the commercial lines (29%) and initial sales from the mesh product line offset by a subdued governmental customer demand (-11%).

 

Orders increased by $2,184,050 from $6,662,609 in 2009 compared to $8,846,659 in 2010.  Backlog was up $1,165,844 from $1,741,746 at the end of 2009 compared to $2,907,590 as of May 31, 2010 primarily due to orders placed for ILS equipment and shipboard antennas.

 

Cost of sales and contracts and gross profit for fiscal year 2010, were $4,364,102 and $3,274,509.  For the same period in 2009, costs of sales and contracts and gross profit were $4,910,677 and $2,399,604, respectively.  The gross profit margin for the operations for fiscal year 2010 was 42.9% compared to 32.8% in 2009.  The 11.1% increase in gross profit margin is attributed to lower raw material costs, redirecting indirect labor to selling, general and administrative expense offset by an increase to the warranty reserve.

 

Sales and administration expenses were $3,683,471 in 2010, compared to $2,555,693 in 2009.  The $1,127,778 increase in sales and administration expense is due to compensation costs associated with newly hired employees for the new mesh radio product line, indirect labor costs redirected from cost of goods sold and an increase in stock based compensation.

 

Research and development costs were $1,093,462 in 2009 compared to $1,051,021 in 2010, less than a one percent move year over year.  Continued investment in new products has fueled growth in commercial wireless and mesh radio sales during fiscal year 2010.

 

Interest income is down $143,496 from $154,691 in 2009 compared to $11,195 in fiscal year 2010, as the Company no longer has tax-exempt investments in auction-rate securities with high yields.

 

The loss from operations before income taxes was a loss of $1,420,789 in 2010 compared to a loss of $1,052,784 in 2009.

 

Product Warranties

 

See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

               

At May 31, 2009, the Company’s operating subsidiary had a $2,000,000 revolving note facility with a bank collateralized by the subsidiary’s inventory and accounts with PHAZAR CORP, the parent company, signing as the guarantor.   On May 31, 2010, PHAZAR CORP was in violation of one covenant on the unused credit line.  Since the line had not been used in at least three years and was not likely to be used in the immediate future, the Company elected to cancel the line of credit. 

 

Based on current trends, funds from operations, recovery of a federal income tax net operating loss carryback and current cash balances PHAZAR CORP believes there are sufficient resources to run the Company’s operations for at least the next twelve months.

 

Capital Requirements         

 

Management of the operating subsidiaries evaluates the facilities and review equipment requirements for existing and projected contracts on a regular basis.  An annual capital plan is generated by management, as needed and submitted to the Board of Directors for review and approval.  In fiscal year 2010 there were $172,248 in capital expenditures for new and replacement equipment. 

 

At May 31, 2010, PHAZAR CORP had cash and cash equivalents of $2,030,774.  Deferred revenue at May 31, 2010, was $207,514.

 

Cash Flows

 

Operating Activities

               

The negative $820,982 of cash flow from operations consists of a $949,258 increase in inventory, a $937,994 net loss, offset by a $412,406 increase in accrued expenses and a $261,271 increase in accounts payable.  The $949,258, or 37% increase in inventory levels for fiscal year 2010 versus fiscal year 2009 represents a decision by management to take advantage of lower material costs and increase stock levels in certain finished goods products.  The net loss of $937,994 in fiscal year 2010 represents an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a decline in interest income offset by lower costs of goods sold along with an increase in revenues (discussed in the Results of Operations Section).  The $412,406 increase in accrued expenses is attributed to the timing of goods received for inventory at year end and without an invoice for processing into accounts payable, along with an increase in the warranty reserve.  Some slippage in payment terms has resulted in a $261,271 increase in accounts payable.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash of $614,701 was used in  investing activities during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010, which consists of the $432,146 funding of a note receivable (see Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements),  $172,248 was used to purchase property and equipment and $10,307 for the purchase of treasury stock. 

               

Financing Activities

 

There were no financing activities requiring cash during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010 and 2009.  However there were non cash federal income tax benefits related to the stock based compensation expensed during the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 in the amounts of $145,810 and $87,273, respectively.  At May 31, 2010 and 2009, PHAZAR CORP had no long-term debt outstanding.

 

Item 8.  Financial Statements.

 

PHAZAR CORP consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders

PHAZAR CORP and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PHAZAR CORP and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PHAZAR CORP and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PHAZAR CORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1.   BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATION

 

PHAZAR CORP operates as a holding company with Antenna Products Corporation, Phazar Antenna Corp., Tumche Corp. and Thirco, Inc. as its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Antenna Products Corporation is an operating subsidiary that designs, manufactures and markets antenna systems, wireless mesh network solutions, towers, and communication accessories worldwide. The United States Government, military and civil agencies, and prime contractors represent Antenna Products Corporation’s principal customers. Phazar Antenna Corp. is a separate legal entity that currently operates as a small division of Antenna Products Corporation.  Thirco serves as an equipment leasing company to Antenna Products Corporation. The Company’s operations are performed in Texas for customers throughout the United States and international markets. 

 

The only major customer with ten percent or more of revenues is the United States Government, who was the single largest customer and accounted for 26% and 13% of the sales volume at May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

 

NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

        Revenue from short-term contracts calling for delivery of products is recognized as the product is shipped.   Revenue and costs under certain long-term fixed price contracts with the United States Government are recognized on the units of delivery method.  This method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of the product delivered during each period and the costs allocable to the delivered units as the cost of  earned revenue.  Costs allocable to undelivered units are reported in the balance sheet as inventory.  Amounts in excess of agreed upon contract price for customer directed changes, constructive changes,  customer delays or other causes of additional contract costs are recognized in contract value if it is probable           that a claim for such amounts will result in additional revenue and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.  Revisions in cost and profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts requiring the revision become known and are estimable.  Losses on contracts are recorded when identified.

 

Foreign Sales

       

        Antenna Products Corporation’s sales in international markets are primarily to foreign governments or  prime contractors to foreign governments and, as such, represent a small percentage of the overall Company  annual volume.  Phazar Antenna Corp. has sales in international markets to commercial customers.  The level of profits from the commitment of assets to this portion of the business is no greater or no less than that of other market segments.  International sales for 2010 and 2009 were 10.6% and 13.6%, respectively, of total sales.   The only foreign country with sales greater than 5% of total sales for fiscal         years ending May 31, 2010 or 2009 was Canada at 5.0% and 5.6%, respectively.    

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out basis.  Market is replacement cost or net realizable value.  Work in progress and finished goods include material, labor and overhead.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

 

NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful lives are:  building and improvement – 15 to 30 years; machinery and equipment - 10 years; automobiles and equipment - 10 years; and office furniture and fixtures - 10 years.  Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, and significant improvements are capitalized.  The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to income.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, to be held and used for potential impairment.  The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value.  Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

 

 Income Taxes

 

The liability method is used to account for income taxes which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes.  The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.  The current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.  The amounts charged for the years ended May 31, 2010, and 2009, were $1,051,021 and $1,093,462, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and certificates of deposit with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.

 

Warranties

               

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties.  Actual costs as incurred are charged directly to cost of sales and the adequacy of the liability is assessed on a quarterly basis.

 

Stock-based Employee Compensation

 

On June 1, 2006, the Company adopted the accounting standard which required companies to recognize in their statement of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments.  The costs were based on their fair values at the time of the grant.  The company uses the


 

PHAZAR CORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

 

NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

 

Black-Scholes Model option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted to employees.  Stock based compensation recognized in fiscal years ended 2010 and 2009 were $428,855 and $251,338, respectively.

 

The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $145,810 and $87,283 for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  In accordance with the accounting standard, the Company has presented excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation awards as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Shares, Per Share Data, Earnings Per Share, and Stock Split, and Common Stock Par Value

 

Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Weighted average shares outstanding were 2,300,191 and 2,358,101 for the years ended May 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. 

 

Dilutive effect of stock options outstanding for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, are computed as

Deferred Revenue

 

        Payments which are received in advance of the completion of the related phase of a contract are recorded as deferred revenue when received.  Revenue is recognized when earned based on cost incurred to date plus estimated profit margin in relation to the total estimated cost plus profit margin on the entire project.  Estimated losses will be recognized in their entirety when they become apparent.  Deferred revenue recorded at each of the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 is $207,514 and $16,884, respectively. 

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

        The Company includes all shipping and handling costs together with cost of sales on the accompanying statements of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

        In May, 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard on Subsequent Events.  The objective of this  standard is to establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  An entity should apply the requirements to  interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2010.  The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Subsequent events through August 14,    2010 were evaluated for disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

       

        In June, 2009, the FASB issued two new accounting standards, one on accounting for transfers of financial   assets and one that changes the way entities account for securitizations and special-purpose entities.  The effective date, for both, are balance sheets of financial institutions beginning in 2010.  The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

There are no uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on the 2009 federal or state income tax returns to be filed, and no liability has been recorded for any prior years that are still subject to examination by federal or state taxing jurisdictions. Accordingly, no additional disclosures have been made on the current financial statements regarding FASB ASC 740-10.

 

As Company policy, accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded as income tax expense. Since there is no applicable liability under FASB ASC 740-10 for 2009, no interest or penalties are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal tax return. The 2006-2009 federal tax returns are currently open under the statute of limitations. State income tax returns are generally open for examination for a period of 3-5 years after the filing of the respective return. The Company and its subsidiaries have no federal or state returns currently under examination, appeals or litigation.

 

NOTE 10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

        The Company deposits its cash primarily in deposit accounts with major banks.  Certain cash deposits           may occasionally be in excess of federally insured limits.  The Company has not incurred losses related to its cash.


 

PHAZAR CORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

 

NOTE 10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES – continued

 

The Company sells many of its products to the United States Government, both military and civil agencies and prime contractors.  Although the Company might be directly affected by the well being of the defense industry, management does not believe significant credit risk exists at May 31, 2010.

 

Ongoing credit evaluations of customer’s financial condition are performed and, generally, no collateral is required.  The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have not exceeded management’s expectations.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On August 15, 2008, Janet McCollum, as personal representative of the Estate of Richard Alan Catoe, deceased, filed a wrongful death complaint against the University of West Florida,  Diamond Enterprise, Inc., North Safety Products, L.L.C. a/k/a North Safety Products, Inc. and Antenna Products Corporation (the ”Lawsuit”) in Circuit Court in Escambia County, Florida,.  Antenna Products Corporation is PHAZAR CORP's wholly owned and principal operating subsidiary.

 

Antenna Products Corporation denies any liability to plaintiff and anticipates being dismissed from the lawsuit.  However, if we were found to be responsible or liable, we would not expect such costs to be material to the Company.

 

On December 7, 2009, RM Aircraft Holdings, Inc., 307 RM Air, LLC, and Air4M, LLC filed a lawsuit in Tarrant County, Texas that named several parties including our Tumche Corp. subsidiary.  Tumche Corp was included in the lawsuit due to a mistake of parties.  Plaintiffs nonsuited Tumche Corp. on January 19, 2010 after they were provided information about the mistake of parties. 

 

Product Warranties

               

        PHAZAR CORP’s management estimates accrued warranty expense based on warranty work received            but not performed and on analysis of historical trends including actual expense as a percent of sales.

 

        Changes in accrued warranty liability for the years ended May 31, are as follows:

               

 

 

2010

 

2009

Beginning balance

 

$  138,702

 

$ 122,376

                The accrual for warranty reserve for 2010 was increased for a replacement of a specific production run of a     new antenna design that was found to have a manufacturing defect, which has since been rectified.

 

NOTE 11.   STOCK OPTIONS

 

In October 2006, a majority of the PHAZAR CORP shareholders approved the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").  Options for 250,000 shares of common stock are authorized under this plan.  Options granted may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options, at the discretion of the Board.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of our Company’s subsidiaries. 

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2010. In making their assessment, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were guided by the releases issued by the SEC and to the extent applicable was based upon the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of May 31, 2010.  The Company has had no change during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.    

 

Item 9B. Other Information

 

Per the Form 8-K filed on July 22, 2010, effective July 21, 2010, Mr. Dennis Maunder resigned as a Director of PHAZAR CORP and all officer positions, the Board of Directors reduced the number of directors from five directors to four directors with a minimum of three independent directors as defined by NASDAQ rules and the Board of Directors approved permanently changing the fiscal year end from a May 31 fiscal year end to a June 30 fiscal year end, ending June 30, 2011 and going forward.
