Aeroflex
Incorporated meets the conditions set forth in General Instruction H(1)(a) and
(b) of Form 10-Q and is therefore filing this Form with the reduced disclosure
format.
OVERVIEW
This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2010 is a
combined quarterly report being separately filed by two registrants: Aeroflex
Holding Corp. (“Aeroflex Holding”) and Aeroflex Incorporated (“Aeroflex”), a
direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding. Unless the context provides
otherwise, references to “we,” “our,” “the Company,” or “us” refer collectively
to Aeroflex Holding and its subsidiary, Aeroflex, including Aeroflex’s
consolidated subsidiaries.
Filing a
combined report which contains full financial information of both Aeroflex
Holding and its wholly owned subsidiary Aeroflex is both economical and
efficient, as Aeroflex Holding is a holding company which does not conduct
business operations on its own - all business operations are conducted by
Aeroflex and its consolidated subsidiaries. All assets, liabilities, income,
expenses and cash flows presented for all periods represent those of Aeroflex
and its subsidiaries, except for activity related to Aeroflex Holding’s equity
and earnings per share. Aeroflex Holding’s only asset is its investment in
Aeroflex. As such, other than any discussions of liquidity and capital resources
(including indebtedness and cash flows), equity and earnings per share, controls
and procedures, unregistered sales of equity securities, use of proceeds and any
material differences between Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex which would require
separate disclosures, all information presented in this quarterly report will be
combined and pertain to both Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex.
In this
Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, references to (i) the term
“Sponsors” refers collectively to affiliates of or funds managed by The Veritas
Capital Fund III, L.P., Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc., and GS Direct, LLC,
which indirectly control Aeroflex Holding, and (ii) “fiscal year” refers to the
twelve months ended June 30 of the applicable year. For example, “fiscal 2010”
refers to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.
Aeroflex
Holding’s board of directors authorized an increase of Aeroflex Holding’s
authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000 and a
65,000,000 for 1 common stock split, both of which became effective on
November 18, 2010. Aeroflex Holding’s stockholders’ equity has been
retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split for all periods
presented by reclassifying the par value of the additional shares issued in
connection with the split from additional paid-in capital to common stock. In
addition, all share numbers and per share amounts in Aeroflex Holding’s
consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give
effect to the stock split.
On
November 19, 2010, Aeroflex Holding consummated an initial public offering
(“IPO”) of common stock in which it sold 19,789,180 shares of common stock, par
value of $.01 per share, at a price of $13.50 per share. Aeroflex Holding
received net proceeds of $244.1 million from the IPO, after deducting
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, including a $2.5 million
transaction fee which was paid to affiliates of the Sponsors under the advisory
agreement with them for services directly attributable to the equity offering
(“Transaction Fee”). Aeroflex Holding used the net proceeds of the IPO to
make a capital contribution to Aeroflex. In connection with the IPO,
Aeroflex:
|
·
|
Repurchased
an aggregate of $186.6 million of its senior unsecured notes and senior
subordinated unsecured term loans and paid the related
expenses;
|
|
·
|
Paid a
$16.9 million termination fee to affiliates of the Sponsors to
terminate the advisory agreement with them, which, including the related
write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense
(“Termination Fee”); and
|
·
|
Entered into an amendment of the credit
agreement with the
lenders of its
senior secured
credit facility, for
which a $3.3 million
fee was paid to the
lenders.

COMBINED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
|
Basis
of Presentation
|
Stock
Split, Initial Public Offering and Use of Proceeds
This
quarterly report for the period ended December 31, 2010 is a combined quarterly
report being separately filed by two registrants: Aeroflex Holding Corp.
(“Aeroflex Holding”) and Aeroflex Incorporated (“Aeroflex”), a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding. Unless the context
provides otherwise, references to “we,” “our,” “the Company,” or “us” refer
collectively to Aeroflex Holding and its subsidiary, Aeroflex, including
Aeroflex’s consolidated subsidiaries.
Filing a
combined report which contains full financial information of both Aeroflex
Holding and its wholly owned subsidiary Aeroflex is both economical and
efficient, as Aeroflex Holding is a holding company which does not conduct
business operations on its own - all business operations are conducted by
Aeroflex and its consolidated subsidiaries. All assets, liabilities, income,
expenses and cash flows presented for all periods represent those of Aeroflex
and its subsidiaries, except for activity related to Aeroflex Holding’s equity
and earnings per share. Aeroflex Holding’s only asset is its investment in
Aeroflex. As such, other than any discussions of liquidity and
capital resources (including indebtedness and cash flows), equity and earnings
per share, controls and procedures, unregistered sales of equity securities, use
of proceeds and any material differences between Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex
which would require separate disclosures, all information presented in this
quarterly report will be combined and pertain to both Aeroflex Holding and
Aeroflex.
Unless
the context requires otherwise, references to (i) the term “Sponsors” refers
collectively to affiliates of or funds managed by The Veritas Capital Fund III,
L.P., Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc., and GS Direct, LLC, which indirectly
control Aeroflex Holding, and (ii) “fiscal year” refers to the twelve months
ended June 30 of the applicable year. For example, “fiscal 2010”
refers to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.
Aeroflex
Holding’s board of directors authorized an increase of Aeroflex Holding’s
authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000 and a
65,000,000 for 1 common stock split, both of which became effective on
November 18, 2010. Aeroflex Holding’s stockholders’ equity has been
retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split for all periods
presented by reclassifying the par value of the additional shares issued in
connection with the split from additional paid-in capital to common stock. In
addition, all share numbers and per share amounts in Aeroflex Holding’s
consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give
effect to the stock split.
On
November 19, 2010, Aeroflex Holding consummated an initial public offering
(“IPO”) of common stock in which it sold 19,789,180 shares of common stock, par
value of $.01 per share, at a price of $13.50 per share. Aeroflex Holding
received net proceeds of $244.1 million from the IPO, after deducting
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, including a $2.5 million
transaction fee which was paid to affiliates of the Sponsors under the advisory
agreement with them for services directly attributable to the equity offering
(“Transaction Fee”). Aeroflex Holding used the net proceeds of the
IPO to make a capital contribution to Aeroflex. In connection with
the IPO, Aeroflex:
|
·
|
Repurchased
an aggregate of $186.6 million of its senior unsecured notes and senior
subordinated unsecured term loans and paid the related
expenses;
|
|
·
|
Paid
a $16.9 million termination fee to affiliates of the Sponsors to terminate
the advisory agreement with them, which, including the related write-off
of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense
(“Termination Fee”); and
|
- 12
-
|
·
|
Entered
into an amendment of the credit agreement with the lenders of its senior
secured credit facility, for which a $3.3 million fee was paid to the
lenders.
|
Basis
of Accounting
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of Aeroflex
Holding and Aeroflex have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and
regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and
reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which
in management’s opinion are necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial
position as of December 31, 2010, the results of operations for the three and
six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the cash flows for the
six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The June 30, 2010 balance
sheet information has been derived from audited financial statements, but does
not include all information or disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of
sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ
from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial
statements.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements included in Aeroflex Holding’s
amended registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on November 9,
2010 (“Aeroflex Holding’s Registration Statement”) and in Aeroflex’s annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (”Aeroflex’s Fiscal
2010 Form 10-K”).
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Aeroflex Holding are
essentially identical to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements of Aeroflex, with the following significant exceptions:
Aeroflex Holding has 84,789,180 shares of common stock outstanding at a par
value of $.01 per share, of which 65,000,000 shares are held by one shareholder
(as a result of the 65,000,000 for 1 stock split on November 18, 2010) and
19,789,180 shares are held by public shareholders by virtue of the IPO on
November 19, 2010, which resulted in net proceeds of $244.1 million after
deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Aeroflex has 1,000
shares of common stock outstanding at a par value of $.10 per share, all of
which are held by Aeroflex Holding, and Aeroflex received a capital contribution
of $244.1 million from Aeroflex Holding from the net proceeds of the IPO. The
combined notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are
essentially identical for Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex, except as
noted.
Results
of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 2010 consolidated financial
statements to conform to the fiscal 2011 presentation.

Accounting
Pronouncements
|
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On July
1, 2010, we adopted the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on the consolidation of variable interest
entities. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities
represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such
entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The adoption of
this new guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to amend the disclosure
requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements. The guidance requires a roll forward of activities on
purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis of the assets and
liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value
measurements). We believe the adoption on July 1, 2011 of the gross presentation
of the Level 3 roll forward will not have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements.

Acquisition
of Businesses and Intangible Assets
|
Test
Evolution Corporation
On
October 1, 2007, we purchased 40% of the outstanding stock of Test
Evolution Corporation, or TEC, for $4.0 million. TEC, located in
Massachusetts, develops and manufactures digital, analog and RF semiconductor
automated test equipment. We determined that we have control of this company and
have consolidated TEC’s assets and liabilities and results of operations, all of
which were insignificant, into our financial statements commencing
October 1, 2007. On August 5, 2010, we invested another $2.0 million
in TEC. At December 31, 2010, as a result of this and other capital
transactions, our ownership interest is approximately 51%. The amounts
attributable to the non-controlling interest in TEC’s equity and results of
operations are not material to our consolidated financial statements and have
been included in other long-term liabilities and other income (expense),
respectively. TEC is included in our Test Solutions segment.
Radiation
Assured Devices
On
June 30, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Radiation Assured
Devices, Inc., or RAD, for $14.0 million in cash, plus contingent
payments equal to 50% of the acquired company’s EBITDA (as defined in the
agreement) for the five year period of fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2015, provided
certain thresholds are met. The fair value of the contingent consideration
as of December 31, 2010 was $7.9 million, of which $1.4 million was reflected in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $6.5 million was reflected in
other long-term liabilities. The fair value of the contingent consideration as
of June 30, 2010 was $7.1 million and was reflected in other long-term
liabilities and considered in the allocation of the purchase price. The
$784,000 increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration was recorded
in selling, general and administrative costs for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2010. RAD, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, uses commercial
and specialty technologies to provide state of the art radiation engineering and
qualification services, as well as to produce radiation hardened products for
commercial and military spaceborne electronics. RAD is included in our
Microelectronic Solutions segment.
- 14
-
Advanced
Control Components
On
August 31, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Advanced Control
Components, Inc., or ACC, for $19.2 million in cash, which was net of a
preliminary working capital adjustment made at closing. The purchase price
is subject to a further working capital adjustment, based on the amount by which
the final adjusted net working capital at the date of closing is lower than the
target set forth in the purchase agreement. We currently estimate an
additional $764,000 deficiency in adjusted net working capital, reducing the
purchase price to $18.4 million. ACC, located in Eatontown, New Jersey, designs,
manufacturers and markets a wide range of radio frequency, or RF, and microwave
products for the military, civilian radar, scientific and communications
markets. ACC is included in our Microelectronic Solutions
segment.
We
allocated the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

The
customer related intangibles and non-compete arrangements are being amortized on
a straight-line basis over a range of 1 to 9 years. The tradenames
have an indefinite life. The goodwill is not deductible for tax
purposes.
On a pro
forma basis, had the ACC acquisition taken place as of the beginning of the
periods presented, our results of operations for those periods would not have
been materially affected.
Cash
Paid for the Purchase of Businesses
For the
six months ended December 31, 2010, we had net cash outlays of $23.6 million for
the purchase of businesses, net of cash acquired. This was primarily
comprised of $18.4 million for the purchase of ACC and $5.6 million of
contingent consideration payments related to fiscal 2010 ($4.6 million for
Gaisler Research AB, acquired on June 30, 2008 and $1.0 million for Airflyte
Electronics Company, acquired on June 26, 2009), partially offset by refunds for
working capital adjustments for prior year acquisitions.

connection with continued restructuring activities of certain manufacturing
operations related to consolidation and reorganization efforts in our
United Kingdom (“U.K.”) operations and in connection with one of our domestic
components facilities located in Whippany, New Jersey. We are consolidating part
of our components operations by relocating a portion of our Whippany, New Jersey
facility’s production to our Ann Arbor, Michigan facility and a portion to our
Eatontown, New Jersey facility. In connection with this
consolidation, we recorded a $4.9 million impairment charge based on the fair
value of the Whippany, New Jersey facility we intend to sell.

Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
|
The
consolidated statements of operations for Aeroflex Holding present only basic
net income (loss) per common share, as it does not have any potentially dilutive
securities. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period.
Earning
per share information is not presented for Aeroflex because, as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding, such information is not relevant.

Derivative
Financial Instruments

We
address certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk
management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We enter
into interest rate swap derivatives to manage the effects of interest rate
movements on portions of our debt. We also enter into foreign currency forward
contracts, not designated as hedging instruments, to protect us from
fluctuations in exchange rates.

Interest
Rate Swap Cash-Flow Hedges
We enter
into interest rate swap contracts with counterparties that are rated investment
grade to manage the effects of interest rate movements on portions of our debt.
Such contracts effectively fix the borrowing rates on floating rate debt to
limit the exposure against the risk of rising rates. We do not enter
into interest rate swap contracts for speculative purposes. Our interest rate
swap contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2010, all of which were entered
into in fiscal 2008 for an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million, mature
in February 2011.

Foreign
Currency Contract Derivatives
Foreign
currency contracts are used to protect us from fluctuations in exchange rates.
We enter into foreign currency contracts, which are not designated as hedges.
The change in fair value is included in other income (expense) as it occurs. As
of December 31, 2010, we had $31.7 million of notional value foreign currency
forward contracts maturing through January 31, 2011. Notional amounts do not
quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of the Company, but are used in
the calculation of cash settlements under the contracts.

Fair
Value Measurements
|
We
account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The
hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which
inputs used in measuring the fair value are observable in the
market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of
these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels
are:
Level
1:
|
Inputs
based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets at the measurement
date.
|
|
Level
2:
|
Observable
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data.
|
|
Level
3:
|
Inputs
reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The
inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments’
valuation.

Marketable Securities – In
December 2010, $2.0 million of our auction rate securities were sold at
par. In January 2011, the remaining $9.0 million of our auction rate
securities were sold at an average of 92.4% of par. The resulting $688,000
realized loss, which approximated the other than temporary impairment at
December 31, 2010, was recorded in the statement of operations for the three and
six months ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, our
auction rate securities are classified as current marketable securities, since,
as of the balance sheet date, we had firm offers for their sale and we had the
intent to sell them. We have classified auction rate securities as Level 2, as
their valuation is based on the actual selling price.
Foreign Currency Forward
Contracts – The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts were
determined using a pricing model with all significant inputs based on observable
market data such as measurement date spot and forward rates.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts –
The fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap contracts were based on
valuations received from the counterparties and corroborated by measurement date
equivalent swap rates.

Long
Term Debt and Credit Agreements
|
All
indebtedness has been incurred by Aeroflex; such indebtedness is reflected on
the balance sheets of Aeroflex Holding by virtue of the principles of
consolidation.
All of
the net proceeds of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO were used to make a capital
contribution to Aeroflex to enable it to, among other things, tender for a
portion of its senior unsecured notes and offer to repurchase a portion of its
senior subordinated unsecured term loans. In December 2010, Aeroflex
repurchased approximately $32.2 million of its senior unsecured notes and $154.4
million of its senior subordinated unsecured term loans. This resulted in a
$25.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is comprised of the
following:
|
·
|
an
11% premium paid on the debt repurchased, which amounted to $20.5
million;
|
|
·
|
the
write-off of the related deferred financing costs of $4.0 million;
and
|
- 20
-
|
·
|
professional
fees of $614,000.
|
On
November 4, 2010, Aeroflex entered into an amendment of the credit agreement
with the lenders of its senior secured credit facility, for which it paid a $3.3
million fee to the lenders which was recorded as deferred financing costs and
$579,000 of other costs that were expensed as incurred, which allowed Aeroflex
to, among other things:
|
·
|
increase
the amount of cash it can spend for acquisitions of businesses from $20
million per year and a $100 million aggregate amount, to $200 million in
the aggregate (with no annual limit), from the effective date of the
amendment to the credit facility maturity date, August 15,
2014;
|
|
·
|
pay certain fees to affiliates of
our Sponsors upon the completion of the Aeroflex Holding
IPO. These fees were paid on November 24, 2010, and consisted
of the $2.5 million Transaction Fee for services directly
attributable to the equity offering, which was recorded as a
reduction of additional paid-in capital, and the $16.9 million Termination
Fee. The Termination Fee, when combined with the related write-off of
prepaid advisory fees, amounted to an $18.1 million expense which was
recorded in a separate line on the statement of operations entitled
Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement;
and
|
|
·
|
base its interest rate margin
above LIBOR on a grid, with reference to its current credit rating. This
increased the interest rate margin by 75 basis points for all tranches of
debt within the secured credit
facility.

As of

a fair value of $877.7 million.
The
estimated fair values of each of Aeroflex’s debt instruments are based on quoted
market prices for the same or similar issues. Fair value estimates related to
Aeroflex’s debt instruments are made at a specific point in time based on
relevant market information. These estimates are subjective in nature
and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgments and therefore
cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect these estimates.
As of
December 31, 2010, Aeroflex is in compliance with all of the covenants contained
in the loan agreements.
Interest
paid was $36.9 million and $30.6 million for the six months ended December 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Accrued interest of $12.9 million and $13.9 million
was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31,
2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Loss
on Liquidation of Foreign
Subsidiary
|
In
connection with the 2003 acquisition of one of our wireless businesses in the
U.K., we set up a foreign partnership to finance the acquisition. We
invested $19.5 million in the partnership and the partnership advanced those
funds to our foreign holding company in the form of a loan, the proceeds of
which was used for the acquisition.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2009, the loan was fully repaid to the
partnership, with interest, and we received a return of capital and
dividends. The partnership has been substantially
liquidated.
As a
result of changes in foreign currency rates, there was a cumulative translation
adjustment of $7.7 million remaining after substantially all of the assets have
been returned to us and substantially all of the liabilities have been
satisfied. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, this remaining cumulative
translation adjustment has been expensed in the period during which the
substantial liquidation of the partnership occurred and presented as a non-cash
loss on liquidation of foreign subsidiary in our Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the six months ended December 31,
2009. This loss was not deductible for income tax
purposes.

The
valuation allowance for non-current marketable securities is not adjusted for
income taxes as it would create a capital loss carryforward upon realization for
which we would record a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax
asset.
Although
as of December 31, 2010 deferred U.S. income taxes have been provided on certain
undistributed foreign earnings of a U.K. limited partnership subsidiary, we have
not recorded a deferred U.S. income tax on the foreign currency translation
adjustment since only an insignificant amount relates to that
subsidiary.

Legal
Matters
|
In March
2005, we sold the net assets of our shock and vibration control device
manufacturing business, which we refer to as VMC. Under the terms of the sale
agreements, we retained certain liabilities relating to adverse environmental
conditions that existed at the premises occupied by VMC as of the date of sale.
We recorded a liability for the estimated remediation costs related to adverse
environmental conditions that existed at the VMC premises when it was sold. The
accrued environmental liability at December 31, 2010 was $1.5 million, of
which $322,000 was expected to be paid within one year.
We have
identified instances of noncompliance with the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations (“ITAR”) in certain of our past business activities as well as in
the pre-acquisition business activities of certain recently acquired companies.
These include the inadvertent misclassification and/or export of products
without the required license and the disclosure of controlled technology to
certain foreign national employees. These matters were formally disclosed to the
U.S. Department of State from time to time during the period from 2007 through
2010.
For
example, in fiscal 2007, when we became aware that certain RadHard bidirectional
multipurpose transceivers sold by us since 1999 may have been subject to the
licensing jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State in accordance with ITAR,
we filed a Voluntary Disclosure with the Department of State
describing the details of the possible inadvertent misclassification and
identifying certain unauthorized exports from the United States to end-users in
a number of countries, including China and Russia. Once our request for
reclassification was denied and a determination was made that the product was
subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the Department of State in accordance
with ITAR, on September 18, 2008, we filed an addendum to our Voluntary
Disclosure identifying other products that may have been subject to the
licensing jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State in accordance with ITAR
but were inadvertently misclassified and exported without a
license.
At this
time it is not possible to determine whether any fines or other penalties will
be asserted against us or the materiality of the outcome of any of these
matters.
We are

Management
evaluates the operating results of our two segments based upon adjusted
operating income, which is pre-tax operating income before costs related to
amortization of acquired intangibles, share-based compensation, restructuring
expenses, business acquisition and merger related expenses, Termination of
Sponsor Advisory Agreement, loss on liquidation of foreign subsidiary and the
impact of any acquisition related adjustments. We have set out above our
adjusted operating income by segment and in the aggregate, and have provided a
reconciliation of adjusted operating income to operating income (loss) on a GAAP
basis and income (loss) before income taxes for the periods
presented.

Income
Taxes
|
The
income tax benefit was $52.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010
on a pre-tax loss of $69.5 million. We had an income tax provision
for the six months ended December 31, 2009 of $5.7 million on a pre-tax loss of
$25.5 million. The effective income tax rate for both periods differed from the
amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before
income taxes primarily due to foreign, state and local income taxes, including
U.S. income tax on certain foreign net income, since we anticipate that we will
be repatriating these earnings to the U.S. The provisions are a combination of
U.S. tax benefits on domestic losses and foreign tax expense on foreign
earnings. The resulting projected net consolidated income tax benefit was then
applied to the projected consolidated pre-tax amount for the year to calculate
the annual effective tax rate, which contributed to the high income tax benefit
as a percentage of pre-tax loss.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2010, we identified an overstatement of
deferred income tax liabilities established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009
and throughout fiscal 2010 related to U.S. income taxes provided on unremitted
foreign earnings. After consideration of both quantitative and qualitative
factors, we determined the amounts were not material to any of those prior
period financial statements or the fiscal 2011 estimated results and thus
corrected the balance in the three months ended September 30,
2010. The adjustment resulted in a reduction of deferred income tax
liabilities of $3.7 million, with a corresponding increase in income tax benefit
in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30,
2010. The adjustment did not impact the statement of cash
flows.
The
income tax benefit for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 reflects
various discrete items, including a $1.2 million income tax benefit for the
retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D credit and a reduction of $5.7
million of deferred tax liabilities related to U.S. income taxes previously
provided on unremitted foreign earnings. As a direct result of
Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, and related repurchase of a portion of Aeroflex’s debt,
interest payments will decrease in the future. Consequently, we have
changed our intent as to the amount and method of repatriations of foreign
earnings, which resulted in the reduction of deferred tax
liabilities.
The tax
provision for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was affected by the
unfavorable impact of a $7.7 million nondeductible loss on the liquidation of a
foreign subsidiary, and the favorable impact of a $10.3 million loss for tax
purposes on the write off of our investment in a foreign subsidiary in fiscal
2009. For financial statement purposes, the loss had been recognized
in the prior periods, however, for tax purposes the loss was recognized at the
time of divestiture, effective September 2009.

Stock
Split
Aeroflex
Holding’s board of directors authorized an increase in Aeroflex Holding’s
authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000 and a
65,000,000 for 1 common stock split, both of which became effective on
November 18, 2010. Aeroflex Holding’s stockholders’ equity has been
retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split for all periods
presented by reclassifying the par value of the additional shares issued in
connection with the split from additional paid-in capital to common stock. In
addition, all share numbers and per share amounts in Aeroflex Holding’s
consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give
effect to the stock split.
Initial
Public Offering
On
November 19, 2010, Aeroflex Holding consummated an initial public offering
(“IPO”) of common stock in which it sold 19,789,180 shares of common stock, par
value of $.01 per share, at a price of $13.50 per share. Aeroflex Holding
received net proceeds of $244.1 million from the IPO, after deducting
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, including a $2.5 million
transaction fee which was paid to affiliates of the Sponsors under the advisory
agreement with them for services directly attributable to the equity offering
(“Transaction Fee”). Aeroflex Holding used the net proceeds of the IPO to
make a capital contribution to Aeroflex. In connection with the IPO,
Aeroflex:
·
|
Repurchased
$186.6 million of its senior unsecured notes and senior subordinated
unsecured term loans and paid related
expenses;
|
·
|
Paid
a $16.9 million termination fee to affiliates of the Sponsors to terminate
the advisory agreement with them, which, including the related write-off
of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense
(“Termination Fee”); and
|
·
|
Entered
into an amendment of the credit agreement with the lenders of its senior
secured credit facility, for which a $3.3 million fee was paid to the
lenders
|
Debt
Repurchase
In
December 2010, Aeroflex repurchased approximately $32.2 million of its senior
unsecured notes and $154.4 million of its senior subordinated unsecured term
loans. This resulted in a $25.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is
comprised of the following:
|
·
|
an
11% premium paid on the debt repurchased, which amounted to $20.5
million;
|
|
·
|
the
write-off of the related deferred financing costs of $4.0 million;
and
|
|
·
|
professional
fees of $614,000.
|

-
Amendment
to Senior Secured Debt Agreement
On
November 4, 2010, Aeroflex entered into an amendment of the credit agreement
with the lenders of its senior secured credit facility, for which it paid a $3.3
million fee to the lenders which was recorded as deferred financing costs and
$579,000 of other costs that were expensed as incurred, which allowed Aeroflex
to, among other things:
|
·
|
increase
the amount of cash it can spend for acquisitions of businesses from $20
million per year and a $100 million aggregate amount, to $200 million in
the aggregate (with no annual limit), from the effective date of the
amendment to the credit facility maturity date, August 15,
2014;
|
|
·
|
pay certain fees to affiliates of
the Sponsors upon the completion of the Aeroflex Holding IPO. These fees
were paid on November 24, 2010, and consisted of the $2.5 million
Transaction Fee for
services directly attributable to the equity offering, which was recorded as a
reduction of additional paid-in capital, and the $16.9 million Termination
Fee. The Termination Fee, when combined with the related write-off of
prepaid advisory fees, amounted to an $18.1 million expense which was
recorded in a separate line on the statement of operations entitled
Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement;
and
|
|
·
|
base its interest rate margin
above LIBOR on a grid, with reference to its current credit rating. This
increased the interest rate margin by 75 basis points for all tranches of
debt within the secured credit
facility.

Net sales
in the AMS segment increased $10.1 million, or 13%, to $89.2 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 from $79.2 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2009. Specific variances include a volume driven $5.5
million increase in sales of components, including $4.2 million from
Advanced Control Components, Inc., or ACC, acquired in August 2010, a
volume driven $5.2 million increase in sales of integrated circuits; and
additional sales of $1.5 million from Radiation Assured Devices, Inc., or
RAD, acquired in June 2010. The increases in sales were partially offset
by volume driven reductions of $1.5 million in sales of microelectronics
modules and $699,000 in sales of motion control products.
Net sales
in the ATS segment increased $4.8 million, or 5%, to $92.4 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 from $87.6 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2009. Specific variances include a volume driven
$2.7 million increase in sales from avionic products; a volume
driven $1.7 million increase in sales of wireless test products; and
additional wireless test products sales of $6.4 million from Willtek
Communications, or Willtek, acquired in May 2010. The increases in net sales
were partially offset by a volume driven reduction of $5.5 million in sales of
general purpose test products and a volume driven reduction of $549,000 in
sales of radio test products.
Gross Profit. Gross profit
equals net sales less cost of sales. Cost of sales includes materials, direct
labor, amortization of capitalized software development costs and overhead
expenses such as engineering labor, fringe benefits, depreciation, allocable
occupancy costs and manufacturing supplies.
On a
consolidated basis, gross profit was $94.8 million, or 52.2% of net sales, for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 and $86.7 million, or 51.9% of net
sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Gross
margins in the AMS segment were 50.1% for the three months ended December 31,
2010 and 49.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in
gross margins is principally attributable to increased sales of integrated
circuits, combined with the additional sales of RAD services, acquired in June
2010, (which have margins higher than the segment average). Gross profit
increased $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared
to the three months ended December 31, 2009 due to increased sales and the
aforementioned increase in gross margins.

Gross
margins in the ATS segment were 54.3% for the three months ended December 31,

increased $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared
to the three months ended December 31, 2009 due to increased sales.
Selling, General and Administrative
Costs. Selling, general and administrative costs include office and
management salaries, fringe benefits, commissions, insurance and professional
fees.
On a
consolidated basis SG&A costs increased $6.7 million, or 21%, to $38.3
million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This
increase was primarily attributable to the additional SG&A costs of the
acquired businesses, which were not fully integrated during the quarter, and the
expansion of our sales and marketing team in the Asia-Pacific region. As
a percentage of sales, SG&A costs increased from 18.9% to 21.0% from the
three months ended December 31, 2009 to the three months ended December 31,
2010. SG&A of the acquired businesses increased SG&A by $2.5 million, or
8% of 2009 total SG&A.

In the
AMS segment, SG&A costs increased $3.0 million, or 28%, to $13.6 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to
additional SG&A costs of $1.4 million related to RAD, acquired in June 2010,
and ACC, acquired in August 2010 and general increases in our existing
businesses, primarily due to increased employee related expenses of $644,000;
external commissions of $262,000 and professional fees of $252,000. SG&A
costs in the AMS segment increased from 13.4% to 15.2%, as a percentage of
sales, from the three months ended December 31, 2009 to the three months ended
December 31, 2010.
In the
ATS segment, SG&A costs increased $2.5 million, or 15%, to $19.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to increased employee
related expenses of $1.5 million and additional costs of $1.0 million related to
Willtek, acquired in May 2010. As a percentage of sales, SG&A costs in the
ATS segment increased from 19.8% to 21.5% from the three months ended December
31, 2009 to the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Corporate
general and administrative costs increased $1.2 million, for the three months
ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009,
primarily related to business acquisition costs of $876,000.
Research and Development
Costs. Research and development costs include materials, engineering
labor and allocated overhead.
On a
consolidated basis, research and development costs increased by $4.4 million, or
25%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This
increase was primarily attributable to the additional costs of the acquired
businesses and the acceleration of research and development projects in our ATS
segment to meet customer requirements for new products. As a percentage
of sales, research and development costs increased from 10.4% to 11.9% from the
three months ended December 31, 2009 to the three months ended December 31,
2010. Research and development costs of acquired businesses increased research
and development by $1.4 million, or 8% of 2009 total research and development
costs.

AMS
segment self-funded research and development costs increased $1.6 million, or
22%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due
to the increased efforts in the development of next generation component
products and additional spending on projects within integrated circuits. As a
percentage of sales, AMS segment research and development costs increased from
8.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 9.6% for the three months
ended December 31, 2010.
ATS
segment self-funded research and development costs increased $2.8 million, or
28%, to $13.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due
to increases in our radio test and avionics divisions, for the development of a
common platform technology, and additional costs of $1.1 related to Willtek,
acquired in May 2010. As a percentage of sales, ATS segment research and
development costs increased from 11.7% for the three months ended December 31,
2009 to 14.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Amortization of Acquired
Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased $329,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to additional
amortization related to the acquisitions of Willtek, in May 2010; RAD, in June
2010; and ACC, in August 2010. The increases in amortization were partially
offset by certain intangibles becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2010. By
segment, the amortization increased $453,000 in the AMS segment and decreased
$124,000 in the ATS segment.
Termination of Sponsor Advisory
Agreement. In connection with the Aeroflex Holding IPO, we paid a $16.9
million Termination Fee to affiliates of the Sponsors on November 24, 2010 to
terminate the Sponsor Advisory Agreement with them and eliminate all future
payments to the Sponsors under that agreement, which, including the related
write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense. There
was no similar charge recorded for the three months ended December 31,
2009.
Restructuring Charges. The
AMS segment incurred total restructuring costs of $5.6 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2010 which primarily relate to consolidation of our
components operations by relocating a portion of our Whippany, New Jersey
facility’s production to our Ann Arbor, Michigan facility and a portion to our
Eatontown, New Jersey facility. In connection with this consolidation, we
recorded a $4.9 million impairment charge based on the fair value of the
Whippany, New Jersey facility we intend to sell. There were no comparable
charges for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
The ATS
segment incurred restructuring costs of $738,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2010. In comparison, for the three months ended December 31, 2009,
the ATS segment incurred restructuring costs of $64,000. In both periods, the
costs related to consolidation and reorganization efforts in our U.K.
operations.
Other Income (Expense).
Interest expense was $20.7 million for the three months ended December
31, 2010 and $21.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The
interest expense decreased, and will further decrease next quarter, as a result
of the repurchase, in December 2010, of $186.6 million of Aeroflex’s senior unsecured
notes and senior subordinated unsecured term loans with the proceeds from the
IPO. During the three months ended December 31, 2010 we incurred a $25.2
million loss on extinguishment of debt, which was comprised primarily of $20.5
million in premiums paid on the debt repurchased and $4.0 million for the
write-off of the related deferred financing costs. In addition, we recognized a
$173,000 gain on bargain purchase related to the final working capital
adjustment to the purchase price of Willtek, acquired in June 2010. There
were no comparable charges for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Other
income (expense) of ($378,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2010
consisted primarily of ($688,000) of other than temporary impairments related to
the fair value of our auction rate securities, offset by $310,000 of interest
and miscellaneous income. Other income (expense) of $422,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009 consisted primarily of $768,000 of interest and
miscellaneous income, offset by ($346,000) of foreign currency transaction
losses.

Provision for Income Taxes.
The income tax benefit was $40.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 on a pre-tax loss of $51.4 million. We had an income tax
provision for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $11.9 million on
pre-tax income of $1.3 million. The effective income tax rate for both periods
differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate
to income before income taxes primarily due to foreign, state and local income
taxes, including U.S. income tax on certain foreign net income, since we
anticipate that we will be repatriating these earnings to the U.S. The
provisions are a combination of U.S. tax benefits on domestic losses and foreign
tax expense on foreign earnings. The resulting projected net consolidated
income tax benefit was then applied to the projected net consolidated
pre-tax amount for the year to calculate the annual effective tax rate, which
contributed to the high income tax benefit as a percentage of
pre-tax loss. The income tax benefit for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 reflects various discrete items in the quarter, including a
$1.2 million tax benefit for the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D
credit and a reduction of $5.7 million of deferred tax liabilities related to
U.S. income taxes previously provided on unremitted foreign earnings. As a
direct result of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, and related repurchase of a portion of
Aeroflex’s debt, interest payments will decrease in the future. Consequently, we
have changed our intent as to the amount and method of repatriations of foreign
earnings, which resulted in the reduction of deferred tax
liabilities.
In the
three months ended December 31, 2010, we paid income taxes of $6.5 million and
received tax refunds of $3.1 million related to federal, state and foreign
income taxes. In the three months ended December 31, 2009, we paid income taxes
of $1.5 million and received refunds of $29,000.
Net Loss. The net loss was
$11.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and $10.6 million for

by volume driven reductions of $1.9 million in sales of
microelectronics modules and $1.6 million in sales of motion control
products.
Net sales
in the ATS segment increased $20.6 million, or 14%, to $171.0 million for

$9.6 million increase in sales of wireless test products; a volume driven
$5.9 million increase in sales from avionic products; and a volume
driven $2.4 million increase in sales of radio test sets. In addition,
there were additional wireless test products sales of $10.4 million from
Willtek, acquired in May 2010. The increases in net sales were partially
offset by a volume driven reduction of $7.7 million in sales of general
purpose test products.

Gross
margins in the AMS segment were 50.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2010
and 47.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in gross
margins is principally attributable to a favorable product mix and
increased sales of integrated circuits, combined with the additional sales of
RAD services, acquired in June 2010, (which have margins higher than the segment
average). Gross profit increased $13.2 million for the six months ended December
31, 2010 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009 principally due
to increased sales and the aforementioned increase in gross
margins.
Gross
margins in the ATS segment were 53.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2010
and 54.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in gross
margins was principally attributable to wireless product sales, which included
more hardware products than software products as compared to the prior year
(while wireless hardware products have higher gross margins than the segment
average, they are not as high as the gross margins of wireless software
products). Despite the reduction in margins, gross profit increased $9.7 million
for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the six months ended
December 31, 2009 due to increased sales.
Selling, General and Administrative
Costs. On a consolidated basis SG&A costs increased $13.3 million, or

increase was primarily attributable to the additional SG&A costs of the
acquired businesses, which were not fully integrated during the period, and the
expansion of our sales and marketing team in the Asia-Pacific region. As
a percentage of sales, SG&A costs increased from 20.8% to 22.3% from the six
months ended December 31, 2009 to the six months ended December 31, 2010. The
SG&A of the acquired businesses increased SG&A by $4.4 million, or 7% of

additional costs of $2.3 million related to RAD, acquired in June 2010, and ACC,
acquired in August 2010; general increases in our existing businesses, primarily
due to increased employee related expenses of $1.4 million and external
commissions of $578,000; and increased professional fees of $504,000. SG&A

AMS
segment self-funded research and development costs increased $2.8 million, or
21%, to $16.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due
to the increased efforts in the development of next generation component
products and additional spending on projects within integrated circuits. As a

Amortization of Acquired
Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased $687,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to additional amortization
related to the acquisitions of Willtek, in May 2010; RAD, in June 2010; and ACC,
in August 2010. The increases in amortization were partially offset by certain
intangibles becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2010. By segment, the
amortization increased $877,000 in the AMS segment and decreased $190,000 in the
ATS segment.
Termination of Sponsor Advisory
Agreement. In connection with the Aeroflex Holding IPO, we paid a $16.9
million Termination Fee to affiliates of the Sponsors on November 24, 2010 to
terminate the Sponsor Advisory Agreement with them and eliminate all future
payments to the Sponsors under that agreement, which, including the related
write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense. There
was no similar charge recorded for the six months ended December 31,

Restructuring Charges. The
AMS segment incurred total restructuring costs of $6.1 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 which primarily relate to consolidation of our
components operations by relocating a portion of our Whippany, New Jersey
facility’s production to our Ann Arbor, Michigan facility and a portion to our
Eatontown, New Jersey facility. In connection with this consolidation, we
recorded a $4.9 million impairment charge based on the fair value of the
Whippany, New Jersey facility we intend to sell. There were no comparable

costs related to consolidation and reorganization efforts in our U.K.
operations.
Loss on Liquidation of Foreign
Subsidiary. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we recognized
a $7.7 million non-cash loss on liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. There was
no similar charge recorded for the six months ended December 31,
2010.
Other Income (Expense).
Interest expense was $42.0 million for the six months ended December 31,
2010 and $42.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The
interest expense decreased, and will further decrease next quarter, as a result
of the repurchase, in December 2010, of $186.6 million of Aeroflex’s senior unsecured
notes and senior subordinated unsecured term loans with the proceeds from the
IPO. During the six months ended December 31, 2010 we incurred a $25.2
million loss on extinguishment of debt, which was comprised primarily of $20.5
million in premiums paid on the debt repurchased and $4.0 million for the
write-off of the related deferred financing costs. In addition, we recognized a
$173,000 gain on bargain purchase related to the final working capital
adjustment to the purchase price of Willtek, acquired in June 2010. There
were no comparable charges for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Other
income (expense) of ($407,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2010
consisted primarily of a ($688,000) other than temporary impairment recorded on
our auction rate securities and ($305,000) of foreign currency transaction
losses offset by $586,000 of interest and miscellaneous income. Other income
(expense) of $479,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 consisted
primarily of $1.1 million of interest and miscellaneous income, offset by
($584,000) of foreign currency transaction losses.
Provision for Income Taxes.
The income tax benefit was $52.3 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2010 on a pre-tax loss of $69.5 million. We had an income tax
provision for the six months ended December 31, 2009 of $5.7 million on a
pre-tax loss of $25.5 million. The effective income tax rate for both periods
differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate
to income before income taxes primarily due to foreign, state and local income
taxes, including U.S. income tax on certain foreign net income, since we
anticipate that we will be repatriating these earnings to the U.S. The
provisions are a combination of U.S. tax benefits on domestic losses and foreign
tax expense on foreign earnings. The resulting projected net consolidated
income tax benefit was then applied to the projected consolidated pre-tax amount
for the year to calculate the annual effective tax rate, which contributed to
the high income tax benefit as a percentage of pre-tax loss. During the three
months ended September 30, 2010, we identified an overstatement of deferred
income tax liabilities established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and
throughout fiscal 2010 related to U.S. income taxes provided on unremitted
foreign earnings. After consideration of both quantitative and qualitative
factors, we determined the amounts were not material to any of those prior
period financial statements or the fiscal 2011 estimated results and thus
corrected the balance in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The
adjustment resulted in a reduction of deferred income tax liabilities of $3.7
million, with a corresponding increase in income tax benefit in the statement of
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The adjustment did not
impact the statement of cash flows. The income tax benefit for the six months
ended December 31, 2010 reflects various discrete items, including a $1.2
million income tax benefit for the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D
credit and a reduction of $5.7 million of deferred tax liabilities related to
U.S. income taxes previously provided on unremitted foreign earnings. As a
direct result of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, and related repurchase of a portion of
Aeroflex’s debt, interest payments will decrease in the future. Consequently, we
have changed our intent as to the amount and method of repatriations of foreign
earnings, which resulted in the reduction of deferred tax liabilities. The tax
provision for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was affected by the
unfavorable impact of a $7.7 million nondeductible loss on the liquidation of a
foreign subsidiary, and the favorable impact of a $10.3 million loss for tax
purposes on the write off of our investment in a foreign subsidiary in fiscal
2009. For financial statement purposes, the loss had been recognized in the
prior periods, however, for tax purposes the loss was recognized at the time of
divestiture, effective September 2009.
In the
six months ended December 31, 2010, we paid income taxes of $10.2 million and
received tax refunds of $3.1 million related to federal, state and foreign
income taxes. In the six months ended December 31, 2009, we paid income taxes of
$4.5 million and received refunds of $631,000.
- 45
-
Net income (loss). The net
loss was $17.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and $31.2
million for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
liquidity and capital resources of Aeroflex Holding are essentially identical to
the liquidity and capital resources of Aeroflex, with the following significant
exception: Aeroflex Holding, in connection with its IPO of common stock on
November 19, 2010, received net proceeds of $244.1 million after deducting
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, whereas Aeroflex received the net
proceeds of the IPO of $244.1 million in the form of a capital contribution from
Aeroflex Holding. All indebtedness has been incurred by Aeroflex; such
indebtedness is reflected on the balance sheets of Aeroflex Holding by virtue of
the principles of consolidation. Aeroflex Holding’s principal source of
liquidity has been the proceeds of the IPO. Aeroflex’s principal sources of
liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings and availability
under its credit facilities and contributions from Aeroflex
Holding.
As of
December 31, 2010, Aeroflex had $70.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $267.2 million in working
capital and its current ratio was 2.99 to 1.
Its
principal liquidity requirements are to service its debt and interest and meet
its working capital and capital expenditure needs. As of December 31, 2010,
Aeroflex had $696.3 million of debt outstanding (of which $695.9 million was
long-term), including approximately $489.1 million under the senior secured
credit facility, $192.8 million of senior unsecured notes and $13.6 million
under the senior subordinated unsecured credit facility. Additionally, at
December 31, 2010 Aeroflex had a $50.0 million revolving senior secured credit
facility available to it, under which $0 was outstanding.
The
following is a summary of required principal repayments of Aeroflex’s debt for
the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2010:

As of
December 31, 2010, Aeroflex and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all of
the covenants contained in the loan agreements. Certain loan covenants are based
on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (net income (loss),
before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted
to add back certain non-cash, non-recurring and other items, as required by
various covenants in the debt agreements. Use of the term Adjusted
EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA are not measures of operating income (loss), performance or liquidity
under U.S. GAAP and are subject to important limitations. A
reconciliation of net income (loss), which is a U.S. GAAP measure of our
operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the loan agreements, is as
follows:

covenants in Aeroflex’s senior secured credit facility include (i) a maximum
leverage ratio of total debt (less up to $15.0 million of unrestricted cash) to
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the senior secured credit facility, and (ii)
maximum consolidated capital expenditures. The maximum leverage ratio permitted
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was 5.90, whereas the actual
leverage ratio was 4.12. The maximum leverage ratio remains at 5.90 until
September 30, 2011, when it decreases to 5.20.
- 47
-
Aeroflex’s
senior secured credit facility, senior subordinated unsecured credit facility
and the indenture governing its senior unsecured notes contain restrictions on
its activities, including but not limited to covenants that restrict Aeroflex
and its restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the senior subordinated unsecured
credit facility, from:
|
·
|
incurring
additional indebtedness and issuing disqualified stock or preferred
stock;
|
|
·
|
making
certain investments or other restricted
payments;
|
|
·
|
paying
dividends and making other distributions with respect to capital stock, or
repurchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock or subordinated
debt;
|
|
·
|
selling
or otherwise disposing of assets;
|
|
·
|
under
certain circumstances, issuing or selling equity
interests;
|
|
·
|
creating
liens on assets;
|
|
·
|
consolidating
or merging with, or acquiring in excess of specified annual limitations,
another business, or selling or disposing of all or substantially all of
their assets; and
|
|
·
|
entering
into certain transactions with
affiliates.
|
If for
any reason Aeroflex fails to comply with the covenants in the senior secured
credit facility, it would be in default under the terms of the agreements
governing its outstanding debt. If such a default were to occur, the lenders
under our senior secured credit facility could elect to declare all amounts
outstanding there under immediately due and payable, and the lenders
would not be obligated to continue to advance funds to Aeroflex. In addition, if
such a default were to occur, any amounts then outstanding under the senior
subordinated unsecured term loan or senior unsecured notes could become
immediately due and payable. If the amounts outstanding under these debt
agreements are accelerated, Aeroflex’s assets may not be sufficient to repay in
full the amounts owed to debt holders.
We expect
that cash generated from operating activities and availability under the
revolving portion of Aeroflex’s senior secured credit facility will be
Aeroflex’s principal sources of liquidity. Aeroflex’s ability to make payments
on and to refinance its indebtedness and to fund working capital needs and
planned capital expenditures will depend on its ability to generate cash in the
future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial,
competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, to the
extent Aeroflex has consolidated excess cash flows, as defined in the credit
agreement governing the senior secured credit facility, Aeroflex must use
specified portions of the excess cash flows to prepay senior secured credit
facilities. Based on its current level of operations, we believe Aeroflex’s cash
flow from operations and available borrowings under its senior secured credit
facility will be adequate to meet Aeroflex’s liquidity needs for at least the
next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however, that its business will
generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or those future borrowings will
be available under the senior secured credit facility in an amount sufficient to
enable Aeroflex to repay its indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs.
Aeroflex may need to refinance all or a portion of its indebtedness on or before
the maturity thereof. We cannot assure you that Aeroflex will be able to
refinance any of its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at
all.
Cash
Flows
For the
six months ended December 31, 2010, Aeroflex’s cash flow used by operations was
$11.1 million primarily due to increased inventory of $24.2 million in
anticipation of higher sales. Its investing activities used cash of
$32.1 million, primarily for payments for the purchase of businesses of $23.6
million and for capital expenditures of $11.2 million. Aeroflex’s financing
activities provided cash of $11.6 million - $244.1 million was received by
Aeroflex as a capital contribution from Aeroflex Holding and was partially
offset by the repurchase of senior unsecured notes and senior subordinated
unsecured term loans, including premiums and fees, of $207.7 million plus debt
repayments of $21.5 million.
- 48
-
For the
six months ended December 31, 2009, Aeroflex’s cash flow provided by operations
was $22.1 million. Its investing activities used cash of $6.6 million, primarily
for capital expenditures of $8.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the
sale of marketable securities of $1.0 million combined with the sale of
property, plant and equipment of $845,000. Aeroflex’s financing
activities used cash of $4.0 million to repay indebtedness.
Aeroflex
Holding’s cash flows are identical to those of Aeroflex with the following
exception: Aeroflex Holding’s cash flows from financing activities for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 reflect the fact that Aeroflex Holding received
the $244.1 million proceeds from its IPO of common stock.
Capital
Expenditures
Capital
expenditures were $11.2 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our capital expenditures
primarily consist of equipment replacements.
Contractual
Obligations
Debt
Repurchase
As of
June 30, 2010 Aeroflex had $225.0 million due under its senior unsecured notes
and $165.5 million due under its senior subordinated unsecured term
loans. In connection with Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, the net proceeds
were used to make a capital contribution to Aeroflex to enable it to, among
other things, tender for a portion of its senior unsecured notes and offer to
repurchase a portion of its senior subordinated unsecured term loans. In
December 2010 Aeroflex repurchased approximately $32.2 million of senior
unsecured notes and $154.4 million of senior subordinated unsecured term
loans.
Termination of Sponsor
Advisory Agreement
Also in
connection with the Aeroflex Holding IPO, we paid a $16.9 million Termination
Fee to affiliates of the Sponsors on November 24, 2010 to terminate the Sponsor
Advisory Agreement with them and eliminate all future payments to the Sponsors
under that agreement, which including the related write-off of prepaid advisory
fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have
material current or future effect upon our results of operations or financial
condition.
Seasonality
Historically
our net sales and earnings increase sequentially from quarter to quarter within
a fiscal year, but the first quarter is typically less than the previous year’s
fourth quarter.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Information
regarding the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates appears
within the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” included in Aeroflex Holding’s Registration Statement and
in Aeroflex’s Fiscal 2010 Form 10-K. During the six month period
ended December 31, 2010, there were no significant changes to any critical
accounting policies or to the related estimates and judgments involved in
applying those policies.

ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate
Risk. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with
borrowings under Aeroflex’s senior secured credit facility. Although
we currently have interest rate swap agreements hedging portions of this debt,
they expire in February 2011 before the borrowings are fully repaid and we
currently do not anticipate renewing them. As of December 31, 2010, there is
$489.1 million outstanding under the term-loan portion of the senior secured
credit facility, the un-hedged portion of which is subject to variable interest
rates. Each change of 1% in interest rates would result in a $4.6 million change
in our interest expense over the next year on the un-hedged portion of the
term-loan borrowings and a $507,000 change in our annual interest expense on the
revolving loan borrowings, assuming the entire $50.0 million was
outstanding. Any debt we incur in the future may also bear interest
at floating rates.
Foreign Currency
Risk. Foreign
currency contracts are used to protect us from exchange rate fluctuation from
the time customers are invoiced in local currency until such currency is
exchanged for U.S. dollars. Aeroflex periodically enters into foreign currency
contracts, which are not designated as hedges, and the change in the fair value
is included in income currently within other income (expense). As of December
31, 2010, Aeroflex had $31.7 million of notional value foreign currency forward
contracts maturing through January 31, 2011. Notional amounts do not quantify
risk or represent assets or liabilities of Aeroflex, but are used in the
calculation of cash settlements under the contracts. The fair value of these
contracts at December 31, 2010 was an asset of $18,000. If foreign
currency exchange rates (primarily the British pound and the Euro) change by 10%
from the levels at December 31, 2010, the effect on our comprehensive income
would be approximately $23.4 million.
Inflation
Risk. Inflation has not had a material impact on our results
of operations or financial condition during the preceding three
years.
